Riviera Zen Hotel

  : 1- not all items in the breakfast are covered by the booking if it includes breakfast (kind of way to scam people because the paid items are not marked or separated from the unpaid items) 2- too noisy because of the clubs in the area

  : The hotel is exactly what it is on the pictures - clean, spacious, with nice interior design. Despite Alanya's extremely dense buildings placement, you don't feel like this one is squeezed in - the pool is of the right size for the hotel of this scale, the restaurant is more than capable of hosting everyone at the same time, and the rooms are just about the right size for a 'beach holiday' hotel. Breakfast is quite a standard affair with live-cooked omelette, a selection of cheeses and vegetables, but dinner is definitely top-notch. There is always stuff to pick from, some meats are being cooked in front of you, and you can find something for every taste. Probably seafood selection could be better, but I have been reliably advised that Turkey in general is not your prime destination for seafood cooking expertise, so... A STRONG recommendation would be to go for the pool or sea-view room, as otherwise you'll be staring at a concrete wall of the nearby building, which is barely 4 meters away. We have foolishly booked that room, but upon check-in were offered an upgrade (for a fee), which was the best money spent. Also, if you have a chance to book a room on the top two floors, use this opportunity - there is a park / cemetery between the beach and the hotel, so it might hide the beach from the view a bit from the lower floors.
  : The only real complaint is that they charge you for coffee during dinner even if you're on a half-board package. Fine, alcohol is not included, but coffee? They are charging around 200,- EUR per night, and they bill you an extra 40,- TLL (around 1,30,- EUR) for a cup of what is barely better than a Nescafe. This complaint is not about the money, but rather about their effort to go over the top with trying to make money.
