Blue Diamond Alya Hotel - All Inclusive

Nice view, clean. The only negative thing was that we woke up at 6 o'clock every morning because of the sounds from the minarets.

First the bad points: It's a small 'business' type hotel as opposed to a fun family holiday hotel (this a good point as well). There is no entertainment or animations team so your children will be bored all day and evening as you will be in the evenings. Areas around the bar and pool were very smoke filled all the time. Surfaces wet and slippery at times although staff do their best to keep clean. Food was not interesting at all and limited in variety so avoid 'All Inclusive' especially if you are vegetarian. It is about 2.5 hours from Anatalya airport by private taxi. Road noise noticeable in the room as is noise from neighbouring hotels entertainment. Good points: Close to lovely beach with sun beds and umbrella available all day long! Lots of shops and restaurants very close by, so a very nice location. Local markets and large shopping mall within walking distance. Would recommend eating out of the hotel for occasional evening meal as well as some lunchtimes. Having said this the snack bar food was always tasty and kids will like the burgers, pizza, chips etc. Very clean hotel and lovely clean rooms and nice bath with shower. No British people during our stay so we met lots of lovely Europeans. Staff are very nice and friendly and will do their utmost to help. Very good Wifi and internet speed, even managed to stream live Premier League games and other shows GoT. Tunnel to get you to beach safely. Would recommend this hotel to adults as children will get bored.
