We stayed at the hotel in September 2017. We chose a specially quiet, calm hotel with a decent territory, the lack of discos nearby. Everything meets the stated requirements.
Territory - 5
Rather big, well-groomed, bushes are trimmed, lawns are clean, well-groomed, lemons, oranges, tangerines, bananas, pomegranates grow right next to the rooms, different flowers bloom, crickets sing, lizards run, etc. The hotel is located directly along the sea, so every evening you can walk along the promenade and listen to the surf. There is no gop gay la la ley. And even if there is a disco in the evening, you can go to another part of the hotel, where there will be no hint of loud sounds. Really stunning sea views from the main Magnolia restaurant, a fish (and partly) Turkish a la carte restaurant, as well as the Piano bar, in the latter, by the way, a musician plays the piano quite well in the evenings. In general, we were satisfied with this aspect.
Sea - 5.
The length of the beach is decent, sunbeds were always available, you can enter the sea both on your own and from a pontoon. The water is clean, clear and very warm. The beach is very small pebbles. I hate sand, so this beach made me very happy. But not all, of course.
Room - 4+
We booked a room with a partial sea view, arrived at 9 am, waited until 14 for a settlement, provided not the best room, the next day we changed it to a room with a direct sea view from the second floor. Very nice)) The case was not without difficulties, but thank God it turned out. Many guests also had problems with the settlement. I really do not recommend rooms with a view of the territory, which are located near the wall / road - the noise of the highway is very audible. In general, there are rooms of various categories and prices, respectively. And with a view of the garden, and the pool, and with a terrace, and with direct / partial sea views, and with a private mini-pool, etc. There are plenty to choose from. We like hotels when the rooms are located in one-, two-story buildings or individual chalets. Here is that option. The rooms are not very big, but sufficient. Our room had a small double bed, a long table, a tea set, slippers, bathrobes, a beautiful variety of lighting, mirrors, a shower, a hairdryer, toiletries, a balcony, a safe, a wardrobe with enough hangers.
Housekeeping - 3, no more. But it depends on how picky you are. This time we turned a blind eye to everything, because. I just didn't have the strength. But the facts are clear: they don’t wipe the dust, they haven’t changed the soap in the shower, the duvet cover is full of holes, the foot towel hasn’t been changed at all, and it, too, has threads coming out already. This despite the fact that we asked for cleaning only 1 time per week and left 2 euros for a tip. But they twisted the swans for us - nice))
Service - 4.
Since we were already resting at the end of the season, the staff directly said that they were very tired and were waiting for the season to be closed (and in 2017 it closes earlier, since the hotel is planned to be restored - which is very handy - it no longer pulls 5 * ). The waiters do not know English, it is extremely difficult to explain something. At the reception, they can’t solve the problem for a long time, the woman who bakes cakes on the beach really falls asleep over the dough (it’s clear that she’s very tired), the animators don’t want to do half of the planned (a lightweight version of aqua aerobics is not always carried out, but we forced it, yoga takes place on it’s not pleasant in the heat, no one wants to play volleyball, because the beach is not sandy, but partly pebbly, the animators themselves don’t know how to play in bochu, darts are good, dance shows are not bad, they didn’t go to the disco).
Food - 4
In the main restaurant "Magnolia", which guests consider to be more than a dining room, they serve buffet breakfast, lunch and dinner. I forgive a lot, because the sea view from this restaurant is simply gorgeous. You can see the sea from every table. The range of food is quite varied, but every day is the same. Service is average. Serving is minimal, dishes are sometimes broken, flies fly regularly. But hungry, of course, you will not come out of there.
Breakfast: eggs prepared in several ways, incl. individual omelette, which does not even have to wait long; pancakes / pancakes, grilled halloumi, potatoes in different types, sweet and not sweet buns, toast from 5-7 types of bread, about 5 types of sausages, up to 10 - cheeses, a variety of cold snacks (lots of olives, pickled vegetables, salads), fresh lettuce leaves - 5 species, cucumber, tomato, grated carrot, etc. As well as fruits: apples, pears, peaches, nectarines, figs, plums, watermelon, melon - this is our holiday season. Naturally Turkish sweets, dried fruits, a bunch of sauces, yoghurts, jams, etc. And most importantly - a sea of fresh orange juice. Drink - I do not want. Lunch / dinner: all the same starters, salads, fruits + side dishes: rice, beans, potatoes, pasta, stews / fish, grilled meats (chicken, turkey, liver) and fish. And sweets - baklava, a lot of shortbread cookies soaked in sweet syrup, some soufflé s, a kind of cakes, puddings, etc. Wine and beer local - average quality, let's say so. I was surprised that few people left tips - there are special boxes everywhere - obviously almost empty : ( They offer to visit 2 a la carte restaurants for free: Turkish (not impressed) and fish (recommended). 2 more restaurants - for 20-25 euros per person we In addition to the main restaurant, there are also bars and snack bars near the pool and the sea, where you can have a bite to eat and drink.
As for the food, I can't say that I was very impressed. However, after reading many reviews about food in Turkey, we are already glad that there were no problems with the stomach.
Spa - 4.
We took a spa program for 1.5 hours for $50. Hammam - 15 minutes, peeling, foam massage, classic massage, relaxation. It was recommended to do it with the masseuse Made - a woman who has been working at the hotel for more than a year. I can't say that I'm completely delighted. In our city, for this amount, you can organize a more comfortable spa. But I can't say it's bad either.
Tour operator and organizational issues - 4.
We were sent by Pegas Touristik. Everything that was said was done. Group transfer is normal, guides are adequate. The airport in Antalya was not very pleasant, rather dirty, expensive. We did not visit excursions this time, we only went to the 7-storey shopping center in Alanya (free transfer back and forth), which we regretted 300 times. I do not recommend. They also advertised the 33 Pleasures spa - a unique complex on top of a mountain, with a pool with a glass wall, where you can see how the water flows from the mountain like a waterfall. Accepts only 9 people at a time, 2 and a half hours of relaxation and only $45. However, while we thought for 1 day - there were no free places for a week ahead. But for a surcharge of $ 10 per person, you could still go. We started searching the Internet for information about this spa - there is nothing on Facebook, Instagram, or just Google. Not a single photo. In general, visited the spa in the hotel - and normal. There was no time to travel.
And yet, although children (16+) do not rest in the hotel, pets are allowed. This makes a lot of dog owners happy.
The hotel guests in our season were mostly Europeans, some Russians, Ukrainians.
Summarizing: The hotel is not bad, quiet, calm, with a large beautiful territory, good cuisine, unobtrusive animation. What will happen in 2018 - after the restoration - is difficult to say, hardly worse.
