1st impression was good :1st day ,sunny and warm in a large modern and very well maintained complex . A long paved avenue adorned with palm and bannana trees transects fascilities inc. pools , restaurants and shops.Staff hard working and friendly.
I must explain that I love Turkey and have many fond memories of the warmth and hospitality of Turkish people . (I have travelled frequently for 40 years and spent several years working abroard - mostly Europe..I need to state this before the next bit)...
HOWEVER we were taken aback by the huge volume of people ,many from Norway , Denmark Russsia etc but SEVERAL HUNDRED from Germany whose numbers contained a shocking plethora of incredibly rude , remarkably ungracious and badly mannered slobs.
The vast main restaurant endeavoured to offer a wide range of buffet type choices and , to our dismay we found that the food was not so much poor in quality as truly appaling.The only way to survive this was for me to draw out some extra money and take advantage of the many dolmus taxibuses.So on several days we ventured to Alanya and found may great bars and restaurants and places of interest staffed by welcoming locals whose spirits had not been beaten down by several momtns of hoards of thankless ingrates.Each time we left felt like a great escape!!!
