Holiday Park Resort

We went (couple) to the Holiday Park between Aug 24-31, and I must say, there are positive and less positive things about the entire experience. However, a small disclaimer: our experience could be different than yours as rooms, period, and preferences between ours and yours - the potential hotel customer, may be different.

Staff: Mixed feelings. Most of them were just doing their job, had a neutral tone, and looked to me very tired. I know where this comes from - same people are serving at the bars, taking away the dishes, and cleaning the floors. I don't have anything special to say about them.

Rooms: we got the bad luck to be placed in the 6120 room. Smaller than expected, no light bulb, curtains always pulled on, since everyone from the lobby terrace can see what is in your room, and what's happening there. If you are given this room, try to change it. It was an economy room, sold as standard land view.

Cleaning: they took the garbage every day and supply the room with water and soap also on a daily bases, but real cleaning happens once in three days. (i.e. wiping the floor, cleaning the dust, sand, in the room, perfuming it a bit, changing the towels - real cleaning).

Food: For me, it was okay. Fruits, rice, fries, beef, wraps, pide, sausages - great. Sweets - so/so. I must admit, that if you are not familiar with traditional spices Turkish people eat or have in their food, you will find a bit of discomfort in eating everything. Yet, this hotel is a place where national ethnics, among tourists come to relax, and enjoy their free time - so I understand the full picture.

Facilities:
Main restaurant - too crowded in the evening, you can't find a table to sit if you come between 19:15-19:45. Yet it's spacious.
Snack bar - life saving before lunch if you are hungry - they serve decent food (fries, beef burgers, wraps, sandwiches).
Beach bar - enjoyed the beer. Cocktails are made differently depending on who is serving you. A selection of only 6 cocktails are available, and they are not the most popular.
Lobby bar - similar to the beach bar in terms of service. Big plus - the a/c
Hammam - paid 25$ for it. Includes 1h massage, and the Hammam service itself. Worths the price.
A la carte restaurant - I am not a big fan of fish, so didn't try it. It is a fish-specialized restaurant. Reservations are made between 10-11 am.

Location: a good one in Alanya. There is a tourist-oriented mall in the neighbourhood. All prices in USD/EUR. In other words $1=€1. Prices are decent though.

The beach: well taken care of. They are cleaning it every night. The beach is rocky, so I strongly advise to take special shoes for it. If you don't have them, you can buy at the local souvenir shop in the hotel. We paid $10 for one pair. In all three hotels in the same line, only Holiday Park seems to have a real and working lifeguard. Big plus for that.

Entertainment: diverse, themed, interesting, engaging. Strongly recommend. Also here - the ladies from the mini club have the good tradition to start every evening with a mini disco for kids in the amphitheatre.

In the end - the hotel worths the price, and the general 4 star rating on Google Maps. You get what you paid for.

Thank you to the Turkish people for their generosity.

I stayed in this hotel for 10 days. Very pleased with the staff and the hotel. All that was left were good impressions and a great mood. Special thanks to the girl at the reception Marsiana. Very kind and welcoming. Overall very pleased and would like to come back here again

A lovely, beautiful hotel! wonderful animation, Oscar's team is just super. Oscar is a wonderful presenter and a kind, responsive person. Nargiza and Emmanuel are just a miracle, the kids are always under supervision! for a family holiday, it is a great choice!

Good value for money! It's a nice hotel, equivalent at 3 European Stars.
We reserved a lateral sea view room, and it was a great room: a very big room, clean, renovated, with an amazing view of Adriatic Sea.
We were here from 27.04-4.05.24
The pools are very clean and the life-guards are very careful, especially with children.
The personal is nice, especially Mr. Adnan from the catering area, Mrs Nargiza from the mini-club (activity with kids) and the DJ of the complex: mr Talha.
We appreciated that every day were different activities for kids and for adults, and in the evening different shows: acrobatics, disco, circus, Turkish night, dancers from Cuba, etc.
The complex is clean, nice, and well maintained.
Again, it'a not a hotel for people with very high expectations, but not the price is :))) i say this because you can find minus points like: serving the food, cleaning in the rooms, the beach (has rocks), the presence of russian tourist (in the context with the ucrainian war, this is disturbing).
I recommend this hotel especially at the beginning of the season, when it's not crowded.
