Kleopatra Ramira Hotel - All Inclusive

My girlfriend/partner and I went there on holiday in June 2024! The hotel was very nice. Nicely laid out and easy to negotiate. The room my partner and I had was ok but the beds not that comfy. My partner did not like the roughness of the sheets and we both didnt get great sleep. The hotel is quite near a mosque and periodically people were called to prayers even at 4:30am. Nothing to be done about that of course except closing the window then turn on the air con which also made a noise to keep you awake! lol! The food was a bit samey but mostly nice and was presented nicely, the serving staff hardly spoke any english and sometimes it was difficult to get over to them what you were trying to say if you had a problem. The reception staff, however, were better to speak to and very friendly ! The pools were very well kept and we particularly enjoyed fooling about with the flume! Lol! We went all inclusive so we made good use of the bar! 🥴 There are plenty of excursions to go on, which were displayed in the lobby, and bus shuttle times to get into Alanya town. We would recommend you use Euro money rather than Turkish Lira. I would go back but there are so many beautiful-looking hotels out there you'd want to try elsewhere, no detriment to the Ramira! There was entertainment put on on a couple of nights! We had a nice time. One was a singer, who's song selection was good but constantly sang through a vocal harmonizer! I, as a professional singer myself for many years, kept wishing he'd turn it off so I could hear what he sounded like on his own! Later in the week, there was a fashion show, a lady dancing who was rather good and traditional folk dancing group. The folk dancing was a but tame but they tried getting you up to dance and that looked fun! Yes overall I think it was a good 7/10.

I thought I would recommend it in the beginning. However, it was terrible in the end. We checked out at 1 a.m., so we had asked for lunchbox as we were skipping breakfast. The lady wrote it down and assured us she had had it under control. However, when we were leaving at night, there were no lunch boxes for us. They said something like "Oh, that's my colleague's mistake, there will be no food, that's it".
Imagine that: you had your dinner at 7 p.m and then you're starving till 10 a.m. airplane breakfast. We were up all night and obviously we were hungry.
As for the hotel, the advantages are food and rooms (very cozy).
However, there are disadvantages:
1) Reception. Mentioned it earlier
2) Cleaning. It was very basic & they didn't change our bed even once (we've stayed there for a week)
3) Cats. Cats are used to being fed by guests during the meals, so they are everywhere. They jump on to the chairs right next to you, they walk on the tables, they're basically trying to jump into your plate.
