having read the reviews below ,we were a bit worried about this hotel . there was no need it was brill . the food was very good .ok ,a lot of chicken (have you been to turkey before ? thats all you will eat ) if you want other things they were there ,such as an amazing stir fry cooked fresh in front of us . the soups are so tasty and always different every day . the hotel is very clean and we were upgraded to a suite as were alot of people as the hotel was not full .the entertainment team were very funny apart from the pool gym girl . she was lazy and did not do anything all day apart from swaning about swishing her hair .
there are alot of germans and russians and danish people there ,but talking to other peolpe ,there are lots in alanya any way . if you want english go to ichmiler or marmaris .we had a great time talking to other nations and learnt that all over the world we all have the same problems i.e money ,unemployment . if there would have been all english we would have ony talked to them . go and talk to any body who smiles at you as we did . my husband played killer darts every day and ended up talking to every body in the hotel !!!!!!
this leads me to tell you about a secret only the russians know .......there is a wide range of BOTTLED lager that you can drink for FREE at the pool bar there is a large stand up fridge fully stocked with a drink that is wonderful . there are three types and we tried them all . they are very cold and refreshing , there is also a drink called jest ,its the same as disarano avaliable from the lobby bar , you will be told either they have none or its 5 euros .its free and they always have a bottle under the counter .also try the turkish coffee it will keep you going all day so have it at 10 am !!!!!!
it is a little isolated from the town so if you like a walk after tea this is not for you, also its on a hill so if you have trouble walking ask for the main building as it had lifts
the beach is pebbly but the sea wonderful and warm and the bus is free to the beach . there is a bus by the hotel for getting into alanya its 1 euro , the local shops are cheaper and the trips from there are good and also cheaper than in town .
all in all its a good hotel so read a review for the same time of year as you are going as i can imagine its different at other times of year

Great week away....really hot!!
Plenty of sunbeds and 3 pools to choose from. Bus to the beach every half hour.
Food is good but gets repetitive.
Only negative would be that it is to far to walk to anywhere.
Entertainment team are fun, things on every night, getting people involved.
Not many English!

I stayed here a while back & have to say that I thought it was fab: staff were friendly & helpful, food was always fresh & plentiful and the hotel rooms were more than adequate. Yes, it's not 5 stars, but I wonder how many of these moaners paid 5 star prices?!!
Don't be put off - just be open minded & pleasant and you'll be fine!
