Good afternoon!
Well, I'll probably start with the fact that we have been flying to Turkey for many years and now I'm honestly very glad that there is such an opportunity to share my opinion about trips and impressions!
I want to tell you my impression about this hotel and its existence in society!
PROS:
1. Good spacious rooms, everything is clean, plumbing is not chipped, the beds are comfortable enough.
2. Five-minute access to the sea, very convenient just across the street.
3. There are many grocery stores nearby, which are visited by the local population and the prices there are much more pleasant than in the tourist part.
4. Dead-end street, almost no cars and street hustle!
5. A good dining area, wide enough tables, everything is relatively new in my opinion. There is enough space for eating for 4 people and with plenty!
On this wonderful note, I consider the advantages of this hotel to be complete!
:
1. The territory of the hotel is combined with a residential complex, in this regard, residents of these houses come to the pool to swim and sunbathe. Accordingly, if you have a desire to lie on the pool with a book, for example, do not rely on silence, local children and screaming moms will quickly dilute it for you.
2. The bar and the canteen are generally a separate story: there is a break in the bar from 12 to 12:30, because for this period of time all the hotel staff sits down to lunch and nothing works. From 12:30 after the meal, the staff is already allowed to enjoy lunch for the guests. The menu itself is very meager, everything is the same, nothing new, just as usual according to the classics of the genre - yesterday's pasta is being made into a salad today! For meat, if you can call it that, chicken offal (heart, tail, liver), in rare cases, legs, etc. There are no desserts at all, biscuits were given for a coffee break twice a week: the first day they were fresh, the second was clearly from the refrigerator, and there is some strange tendency that they remove everything from the guests ahead of time, if there are already 20 minutes left before the end of breakfast-lunch-dinner, they turn everything off and they take it away, and if you dare to go for the second plate, then I'm generally silent!
There are no fruits, lemons for tea and those are not there. Coffee, hot chocolate - just slop! everything is terribly diluted with water, there is practically no taste, they save on tea and that. The soda in the bar is local from the nearest store, because every evening a bartender drove from there with a cart full of drinks.
Alcohol is only wine (red and white) and beer (very weak), which is probably why half of our hotel could be seen buying alcohol in shops)))
Endless queues for food, the first 30 minutes after the canteen opens - people just take off and run to take a queue for chicken bottoms)))
At the hotel, guests clean up dirty plates themselves and sort them from spoons and forks near a stinking table with waste, and if you still decide to leave everything behind you after eating, wait for disapproving glances in your direction
The all-inclusive system runs until 22:00!!! Attention, when booking a tour, the information is that alcohol is before 23:00 - do not count it is not so!!!
3. Animation - I honestly have never seen such a bottom, in the evening, when people are sitting quietly chatting in the bar, the "animator" is blowing a hookah, and then it jumps sharply turns on for a long time tired and hoarse speakers and starts strange dances, more like the mating dances of a cockerel to a cockerel))))in reality, this is as strange as possible, the same story repeats itself at the pool, when people just lie quietly in silence, the music turns on sharply and adults and children of all guests silently observe this picture.
4. Contingent: there are few Russians, Germans, British - who like to hang out in Turkey so much, there are practically no Romania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, local Turks - the main part of the guests of this institution. It looks from the outside, of course. It was like being at a hop-stop party with elements of garbage and judgmental looks!
5. Reception and Internet: wifi at the reception is free, but of course categorically stupid, for a fee of 8 euros for three days you can buy a card with Internet. All the kids are hanging out in the lobby and pumping their last
life out of the free internet.
The receptionist at the reception of a Russian-speaking woman is not particularly client-oriented, she is mostly also passionate about her phone, when checking into the room, they found out about the safe and its cost - so it turns out if you pay in cash for $ 34 or by card for 1000 lira, but when paying by card there is another 20% tax, to the question why is it so frenzied the percentage - the administrator simply replied that "the boss said to take more money from the guests"))))
EMPLOYEES:
1. There is a woman standing at the bar periodically - it seems to me that she can code with one glance, at each approach for a drink she just constantly "tsked", and if you take 3 glasses, then it really was like that with every move she made on the glass)))
The second young lady at the same bar just doesn't speak either English or Russian (but this is fantastic), all communication is on her fingers.
Well, of course, if you summarize, only very often you just won't wait for the employees and just silently leave, accepting this situation as hopeless.
At exactly 22:00, the big boss comes out to the bar and checks that you inadvertently or a person. who has just arrived from the city or the tour did not have an extra drop of alcohol, because your time has passed, you should have gotten high earlier))))
I probably missed a lot more when writing this review, but I hope I conveyed my general impression to the readers of this review.
08/03/2024 arrived at night , checked in immediately. The room is clean, the balcony for 2 people is OK. There are no beach towels, there was no water in the fridge. There was a constant shortage of paper. The rooms were cleaned every day. WiFi is only bad at the reception, there is no room.We took a SIM card at the bus stop after the airport. The sea is magnificent, you need to enter carefully, there is a ledge and a wave can knock you down.Everything is fine in the corals, the bottom is small pebbles.But there are no paths near the deck chairs and the feet are dirty. The sea bar is paid, there is also a shower, often there was no water at all. There were always enough chaise lounges. Next to the sea crossing, stop in the city number 1,20 and 20 minutes and you are in the center of Alanya there are shops and markets (things , food) Neatly with products, the price per kg is deceived, and
They charge as per piece. There is a constantly moving market near the hotel, the cheapest, where it is located can be found at the reception.At the reception, do not change or buy anything, deception.Lira can be exchanged in the city or near the hotel at the most normal price. The food in the hotel is boring, there are no snacks, there was meat 3 times, everything else is soy junk, there are no sweets either cookies, waffles and then if you didn't take everything right away(. French fries were sometimes fried in the morning, but they are also made from soy. In short , it 's dark with food .The music sucks for 2 hours, then everyone goes to sleep).There is no animation . In general, I will never go to 3 more, it's better to pay extra and not worry.I liked the staff.
Let's start everything in stages
Arriving at the hotel, you first need to talk to some "Jan" who will sell you a hammam for $ 35, allegedly at a huge discount, and then only "you" because he allegedly liked you, Jan positions himself as someone who can solve any of your questions and tell you everything, checked only one service, but here they heated up))
In no case do not change his currency to lira , this is obviously not profitable , they changed 30 lira for a dollar, later we found out that in local exchangers a dollar costs 32 lira , in a bank 33 lira was worth a dollar at that time
In short, an unreliable person
We were settled even earlier by 20 minutes
This will be a small plus
The room was clean , cleaning was done every day , but the towels had not been changed once in 8 days , probably it was necessary to remind about this
It would not hurt to carry out cosmetic repairs in the rooms
A huge wish
Make sure that your staff at least smiles, the girl at the reception and at the bar are tortured or something, they don't have a kind look, as if they have arrived and are already infuriating.
Meal:
In general, it will go
But not every day
There is not much variety
Pasta , rice is almost always
Sometimes bulgur
Occasionally there were potatoes for breakfast
What didn't you eat for lunch
It will be for dinner
The sausage looks like it's made of paper
There will be no meat
There is only something similar to soy meat with a nasty taste
There is also a chicken, but rarely very
The beer at the bar is quite normal, I only wonder how many degrees it is, otherwise it doesn't get drunk at all, but it's more of a plus as for me))
Wine similar to wine from boxes as it used to be the cheapest, but it's a plus that it even exists like this
Coffee and hot chocolate are diluted to the maximum, the taste of water is more felt in them.
There is a question for the dishes , sometimes you take a plate and there will be a piece of dried food that has not washed off
Location
Convenient , the beach is nearby
There is a bar on the beach and more than one
A good entry into the sea
The sea is clear
And try not to move into the first floor, ask for a higher room
Almost every night
Someone walks around and slams doors , so much so that yours will shake , well , they talk very loudly at night
Wi-Fi in the lobby is slow
They did not connect the paid one
If you need a SIM card, go to a bim store or a communication salon, buy it there , it will be much cheaper and all this is near the hotel
Of course I can find fault
But why does the staff eat first and then only the guests 😁
Why don't they have a separate menu or something
And by the way, I will advise you on my own, if you need excursions , do not take them from a guide , there are street travel agencies near the hotel , everything is the same , everything costs three times cheaper
We took it from Osman, there's also a sign for ministers tours
For example, rafting cost 40 dollars for two
While the guide would have 110 for two
Well, in general, that's it)
To go or not
The choice is yours
