A great hotel for your money.
Among the advantages, it is worth noting the friendly, responsive staff who are always ready to help with any questions (there are practically no Russian speakers, excluding the reception), there is a Russian-speaking employee at the reception 90% of the time. All questions and requests are resolved immediately.
The beach is small pebbles, cleaner than 99% of Both beaches (I walked along the coastline up to the lighthouse), there are slabs at the most uncomfortable depth, on the first day I slightly injured my leg (pierced the skin in the area of the outer ankle), the underpass from the hotel to the beach is also an undeniable plus, it works until 19:00. Regarding the strong waves that many people write about, I did not notice a big difference compared to Cleopatra Beach. Perhaps due to the fact that there are 2 estuaries of fresh streams nearby, the water is slightly cooler than on Cleopatra, but this is subjective and, I think, will not be noticeable during the peak season, by the way, and in October, I do not presume to assert, I did not take measurements with a thermometer.
I can't say anything about animation, this aspect is of little interest to me, I note that every evening there is something like a disco and on Sundays a live artist sings from 21:00, cool bartenders.
The food is quite varied, there is enough for everyone, you will not stay hungry, the barbecue area is deservedly popular.
You can get to the center by bus ($ 1 fare), or rent a bicycle / electric scooter (which, personally, I prefer), there are plenty of rental services for various types of transport nearby (I recommend not to be lazy and walk towards the center about a kilometer to Tyson Tours Travel, where you will be pleased adequate prices for rental and tours). There is a closed parking lot on site where you can store rented vehicles, subject to availability, and motor vehicles.
Of course, there are also non-critical disadvantages in the hotel regarding the quality of plumbing, soap dishes and other household trifles, which, however, do not spoil the overall impression of the holiday.
If there is a need for shopping, there is an Alanyum shopping center within a 15-20-minute walk, which is partially able to cover this need.
From personal experience, I also note that there were no available one-room rooms when checking in, a room of this type was provided with a voucher, and we (3 people) were temporarily placed in a two-room room with the condition of replacing the room in 2 days, but during this time I caught rotavirus and, if possible, had to be isolated, at our request to extend the accommodation in this room, the administration went to a meeting and allowed us to stay in this room until the day of eviction, which is another 12 days!
We rested at the hotel in August 2024: the hotel has three swimming pools, clean towels are provided daily for the beach, there is an underground passage to the beach. There are enough sun beds on the beach, but the beach is not guarded, there is sand and a lot of cigarette butts on the beach, unfortunately, cleaning on the beach is not carried out. At the hotel, we were not immediately settled into a normal room, at first, due to the workload, we were settled into a family room with 3 windows overlooking the hotel's ventilation system (pipes). The room had an old renovation in the bathroom and sanitary ware, as well as not all the lights in the room worked, as a result, three days in the dark. After we were already overpowered in the sector, where the restoration was probably carried out in 2024, there is already a new shower and a new sanitary ware, a small broken refrigerator, air conditioning, instead of a chair or armchair in the rooms, a stool, although at our request the room was given a view of the sea and mountains, which was very pleased) as for the food, everything is like other hotels in Turkey, tomatoes, cucumbers, and a bunch of greens, olives, several types of hot, with soups in Turkey, it's a real problem - they don't know how to cook them and their combination of products is something extremely strange, but foreigners ate with pleasure, maybe it's just not usual for us. Fruits (I really liked watermelons) , cakes and other sweets, sometimes there was rice porridge for breakfast, pizza, a small food court with burgers, cookies and ice cream works during the day. In general, there is always something to choose from. but every third vacationer suffers from gastrointestinal disorders for 2-3 days, unfortunately. I do not exclude that this is due to cleanliness in cooking. I personally washed the fruits in the room. The biggest disadvantage (2 stars were removed) is that there is no division into smoking and non-smoking zones, either on the beach or in the restaurant, as a result, as a non-smoker, it caused me great discomfort. But in general, we were satisfied with the rest.
We lived in the main building with windows facing the courtyard for the first half of October for 14 nights. The territory of the hotel itself is well-groomed, security at the entrance is clean, bananas on a tree grow immediately in a grid, at the reception the administrator of Slavic appearance speaks at least five languages. The sunset view over the mountain is fantastic. The food is varied, Everything is good except for the noise from the air conditioning systems of neighboring buildings and an evening-night show from a nearby restaurant. If only there was music, then fuck it, but sometimes there are drums and a presenter screaming hoarsely in the speakers, sometimes until late at night. The sad thing is a dirty beach, torn deck chairs and sharp boulders sticking out under the water, which can easily be injured. In the restaurant, when we asked two ladies if it was possible to use the empty seats at their table, they started shouting "but Rush" with wild eyes. I had no desire to explain that we were not from Russia, we just went to another table. They smoke almost everywhere, although it is written all around that smoking is prohibited.
