A weak 4-star hotel, although it is marked with 5 stars. The food is simple, the choice is not big. The interior is very beautiful, the rooms are new, cleaned on the 5th floor. The beds, pillows are all new. A big plus is that the hotel is new. Cool slides for adults-a water park in hotels, for this a solid 5. The sea is clean, warm, we were in late September-October. It is better to swim in corals, because pebbles are pebbles. I recommend it because of the price. But you won't go a second time.
We stayed at the Alarcha Hotel in early June 2024.
Our family was satisfied with their stay at this hotel.
We had an overnight flight and arrived at the hotel at three o'clock in the morning.
The receptionist asked us to wait until 8 a.m. and promised to help with early check-in.
He told us about the concept of the hotel, explained where the 24-hour bar is located (in this pool bar, even at 3 a.m., you can drink coffee or other drinks) and invited us to go to a restaurant that also works, put bracelets on us and sent us to an early breakfast.
We went to explore the hotel grounds and our vacation began.
I'm always surprised by the people who are waiting to check into the hotel on the sofas at the reception. We don't waste any time and start exploring the hotel grounds. We left our suitcases in the baggage room.
After morning coffee at the pool bar, we changed our clothes and went to the sea.
At 8 o'clock after breakfast, we returned to the reception and were offered early check-in for 60 euros, while we were offered a room with a side sea view (we booked the usual standard, and this is a view of the neighboring hotel or the road).
As a result, for 60 euros we checked into a room with a view of the river and the sea early in the morning. Our floor was not high, we appreciated this later, when we did not have to wait for the elevator, but quickly descended or ascended the stairs.
The room is clean and beautiful, but there are very few clothes hangers in the closet.
The mini bar with cola, fanta, Efes beer, and mineral water was replenished daily.
The hotel has a wonderful pastry shop, which opens at 10.30. Here the barista makes delicious coffee (real grain coffee), you can also make frappe with ice cream. And only in this pastry shop there are very tasty cheesecakes and other cakes, macaroons and other sweets.
In general, we were satisfied with the food at the hotel, the waiters in the restaurant work well, and the drinks are brought. The only thing that was not convenient was the lack of the opportunity to pour yourself tea or coffee in the hot tub. The coffee machine and kettles are located in the bar, where one employee works (it's not convenient for me).
My son really liked the mini club, he went there with pleasure.
The territory of the hotel is compact and beautiful.
A pleasant terrace where you can go out with a drink from the lobby bar. Drinks in the lobby make good, delicious milkshakes for kids.
Viennese waffles and Turkish gozleme tortillas are baked on site on the way to the sea.
You can grab ice cream or a snack at the snack bar by the pool.
I really liked the beach bar - it's a beautiful and atmospheric place, especially at sunset.
But going into the sea is not very comfortable, we did not use aquashoos, although the stones are quite large. Because of the river that flows into the sea, the water here is colder.
The evening shows on the hotel stage are interesting.
Across the street from the hotel there is a pharmacy and shops where you can buy souvenirs, clothes, shoes at an inflated price of course.
The hotel is 3 years old, as indicated, but in many rooms a lot of things do not work, where the laminate is swollen where the toilet door does not close. Be prepared for the fact that the room has a window to the bedroom directly from the shower, which is not very convenient for many. The food is fine, delicious. The staff is not very friendly, especially the unpleasant little guy with an earring and a sleek haircut. Who will immediately try to charge you for anything.The big disadvantage of this hotel is that it is located near a small river that flows into the sea there, which makes the warm sea water constantly cold. So keep in mind!! The beach is not clear whether it is pebbles, or just stones, in general, it is also not very comfortable. In the evenings, there are concert programs for pensioners and a disco with Turkish music. In general, I would not like to go there for a second vacation.
