Firstly, we stayed at the Grand Zaman Garden hotel which is the newer of the 2 sister hotels which are located opposite each other. (The main picture at the top of this page is the original "Grand Zaman" hotel, however when you click the "Hotel photos" link next to the photo, the expedia link gives you photos of the newer "Grand Zaman Garden" hotel.)
The Zaman garden hotel, is a very new modern hotel which is exemplorary clean with excellent all round service! Location is good, literally a 3 minute walk to the lovely kleopatra beach. Its worth noting that kleopatra beach is very nice however its not very child friendly as literally 10 steps into the water and your way over your head which leaves little room for children to play in the sea.
Its around a 20 minute leisurely stroll to the harbour and main central area of alanya, however the entire 20 minute walk is lined with bars / shops so you dont really notice the distance.
Absolutely no complaints whatsoever with this hotel, We booked with the expectation of it being on half board basis as our operator informed us, however on arrival we were pleasantly suprised to find we were all inclusive!. the food is excellent and includes an extensive sald and desserts bar with at least 20 different salads and desserts to choose from daily the main section was also very good with an outside BBQ most nights with a selections of chicken / kebabs and other meat dishes.
In terms of all inclusive this hotel is fantastic, no limitations at all literally as much as you want when you want, the soft drinks included are all coke / fanta / sprite etc with efes beer and local vodka / gin / brandy / white & red wine available from 10am to midnight.
The staff are very friendly and very helpful and extremely efficient at their jobs, the rooms were cleaned everyday and towells changed every other day.
The 2 swimming pools are very nice, a little on the small side but more than adequate and very clean, the rear swimming pool has 3 waterslides which are turned on daily between 2 & 4 pm.
The hotel decor and lighting is amazing all over the hotel, again very modern and funky.
The rooms are very nice and clean, all have the normal expected features such as mini bar, power shower, hairdryer, balcony, tv / satelite, etc etc.
The entertainment was slightly dissapointing however we tended to go into the city most nights anyway so not a major problem unless your planning to spend every minute in the hotel.
There is a very high amount of germans and dutch in the hotel, and we were the only english couple, however there are plenty of sunbeds to go round!!
All in all an excellent hotel and would highly recomend it to anyone.
