The hotel itself is quite new, the rooms are decent after renovation, there is nothing to do in it, just sleep, eat and the sea. The sea and the beach are great. The beach is private, it is cleaned, cared for, outsiders are not allowed, the sun beds are comfortable.The contingent of Germans over 60) grandparents. There is no music, no dancing, no entertainment, there is nothing for children, only the sea and sand. The hotel is not big, the food was not very good, apparently we were at the end of the season and the food was monotonous. There were no Turkish buns, sweets, or delicious dishes.
We rested at the Yalihan Una Hotel from October 22 to October 29, 2022. This is the second time we have been staying at this hotel, the first time we rested at the height of the pandemic in 2020. We came to this wonderful hotel together with my wife to celebrate our wedding Day (which we had on October 22). We left St. Petersburg by Peregrine Falcon at 20.50, then by taxi to Vnukovo. Vnukovo Airport took off at 3 a.m., arrived in Antalya at 8 a.m. We received our luggage for about half an hour, then waited for the bus to fill up, and eventually left Antalya at 10.30 am!
We were at the hotel at 12.30. Upon arrival, the most interesting thing began, it turned out that our room 3203, as well as all the rooms in the building on the beach, where the restaurant is located, are already occupied. Although we left wishes in advance at the travel agency and at the Anex Tour tour operator so that we would be booked and provided with a room in the building on the beach, where the restaurant is. As a result, we were told that our room 3203 would be available in 2 days and offered the neighboring room 3202. Room 3202 had a view of the bushes and neighboring buildings and we refused it. They then asked to provide a room in the main building for two days, but to have a sea view. We were asked to go to lunch and come over after lunch at 2 p.m.
After lunch, we returned to the reception and were given a room on the 5th floor with a sea view in the main building of the hotel for 2 days. The room had a balcony, a view of the bar and the beach. The only disadvantage was that the entrance to the room was from an open (on the street) long corridor from the side of the road to Alanya, and the bathroom had ventilation that went outside directly into this corridor. As a result, the room was blown, there was a constant draft and it was cold. But there were no other options, and we agreed.
Two days later, on Monday, after breakfast, we finally changed the room to OUR favorite one, which we were in two years ago, 3203.
The room is just Super, angular, the largest on the floor, with a magnificent view from the window, with a small balcony from which an amazing view of the Mediterranean Sea opened. The room was clean, cleaned every day, with high quality, towels were changed regularly, shampoo, shower gel and soap were in the bathroom, there was always mineral water in the bar, with and without gas, fanta and Cola, the bar was replenished daily. We slept with an open balcony and we really enjoyed falling asleep and waking up to the sound of waves! Everything is very clean, there is no garbage anywhere. The territory of the hotel is very well maintained. Everything is beautiful. Wi-Fi works everywhere, both in the lobby and by the pool, and even on the BEACH! The signal is good. The food is excellent. Compared to 2020, nutrition has improved and the range has expanded, only sanitizers remain from covid restrictions, otherwise all restrictions have been lifted, you take everything yourself in unlimited quantities. For breakfast, a very tasty omelet is made with you from different ingredients: tomatoes, peppers, onions and sausage to choose from with cheese. I've only eaten this in Israel and the Dominican Republic. They also bake very tasty pancakes! There is a very large selection of cheeses of various types, including noble Roquefort with mold, as well as very tasty white pigtail cheese. For lunch, there are various types of soup, fresh grilled or skewered meat, such as shawarma, various salads, a lot of sweets, cakes and pies from desserts. It was hot for lunch, and they usually took a glass of refreshing beer. There are also various meats or fish for dinner, many different salads, cakes and desserts. They also took red or white wine. Of the fruits there were bananas, grapefruit, grapes, melons, apples, pomegranates, there was also a very tasty unusual fruit pitaya (dragon fruit), there were only watermelons. Food for 5+++ , everything is qualitative, quantitative and very TASTY! The restaurant has its own sick balcony overlooking the sea, we liked to have breakfast, lunch and dinner there! There are tables with a canopy in the bar on the veranda, you can also have lunch or dinner there, this bar has very tasty Cappuccino and cocktails! My favorite Pinot Colada! There was also a very tasty ice cream of various types in a waffle cone. Even closer to the lobby was a bar with cold coffee and cakes. On the first day, when checking in at the hotel, we also ordered two a la carte dinners at the Turkish restaurant on Tuesday and at the seafood restaurant on Thursday. The Turkish restaurant has become much better in terms of the quality of dishes and assortment compared to the pandemic year 2020, but the best was the sea, they brought a huge whole trout on a large plate for hot (photo attached), very tasty, especially with white wine.
The hotel's beach is clean, sandy, sand both on the beach and in the water, sun beds and umbrellas are free of charge, regularly cleaned and cleaned! Beach towels are provided free of charge, near the pool from 17 to 18 hours. The sea was calm and quiet all days, we swam to the buoys and back, the water is very warm + 25 degrees, the air is 27-28 in the shade. The only drawback is that there is practically no animation in the hotel and it will be boring with children. Once in the evening at 21 o'clock there were incendiary dances of boys and girls in short beach suits near the bar. On the rest of the days, live music was performed every evening.
A cool place right by the sea!! There are no disadvantages in this hotel!! We liked everything and the fact that we stayed at this hotel for 2 years in a row should say a lot - it was cool! Thank you all!!
