Big Blue Sky Hotel - All Inclusive

What a great little hotel. Can't fault our 11 day stay there. Food is decent quality. The range isn't large though. Lovely and clean throughout. Staff very accommodating. A couple of negatives but we could live with them. There is no entertainment apart from two evenings in the week which we didn't bother with. Stop tap is 10pm which isn't a major issue as you stack up a couple. The music poolside gets very repetitive after a few days. Really not into Turkish rap which has some very unsuitable lyrics!

Parador sky review We've been to Turkey loads of times, generally to hisaranou, fethiye or olu deniz, thought we would try and all inclusive in alanya for a change.... The love holidays photos, same on the other travel agent sites for this hotel are very, very misleading. The reception area is small, restaurant area is small, the pool area is very small and overcrowded. On landing we waited over 30mins for our shuttle driver to wake from the back seat of the shuttle, 1hr into the transfer we stopped in a service area for 30 mins and the passengers were advised to leave the bus to spend time in the services. Arrived at the hotel over an hour later than expected 4:20 am and our room had an issue and wouldn't be rdy until around 10 am , but we were put into another family room on a temp basis until our room was ready. This temp room was large but flaking paint on walls and ceiling. We had barely got to sleep when we were called at 7.30am to be told our other room was ready. The other room, the one we're in at the moment is a good size although based at the rear of the hotel the view is poor at best. The bathroom / shower is without a doubt the smallest we've EVER seen. The shower cubicle doesn't contain the water so it spreads on the bathroom and floor and there's no way to avoid this being walked into the bedrooms. The hotel is in a poor area and the view from the balcony isnt what anyone would want on an all inclusive holiday. While on the balcony the seating arrangements are children's patio sets! Waste of time for anyone over the age of 8. We went to make a coffee in our room ( after buying our own milk sugar coffee and water as none are supplied) and we found the inside of the kettle to be coated with rock hard noodles from previous guests 🤮 The pool area is a waste of time, too small a pool, not enough seats or loungers for th residents. Across the road the beach is saturated with fag ends and the amount of rocks and very sharp stones at the beach make it difficult to enter / exit the water. One of our boys cut his foot open on the first day. After seeing a local doctor for treatment we were told it's a common occurrence for people visiting th beach to cut thier feet. Purchased those neoprene slippers and was been a much better experience, spoilt only by the amount of litter in the water. Plastic cups , plastic bags, fag ends, crisp packets. The love holiday advert for the hotel says it has a private section of the beach just for hotel guests, this is BS. There's a sign in the reception area that says they will supply beach towels on request, we requested 4 of these on our 2nd day and they response was for 10euro per towel. Not for hire, or a refundable on return, but for purchase. You can buy beach towels for half that in any of the local shops. When vweve visited other 4 star hotels around turkey, there always been freely available bottled water in locations around the hotel. Dont xpect that here. Food in the restaur

Nice hotel bit dated, rooms are fine they have air conditioning which is good as rest of hotel doesn’t. Food was good and lots of choice. Bar staff were great as were all staff and our cleaning lady she went that bit extra with bed making up swans with towels and petals and left some flowers. Entertainment was poor and only for two nights. Sunbeds there but not many although they do have some on the beach that you need to pay for along with drinks even if you are all inclusive and pay for drinks after 10pm. But it’s a lovely area the views are great of the castle, the sea and the pirate ships which we went out on around the bay it was good also the parks with fountains and the 15minute walk into town their are taxis and busses. Lots of cats that are all fed and watered by various people. Second time I’ve been to Alanya and enjoyed both times.
