ОТДЫХ В ТУРЦИИ АЛАНИЯ The Lumos Deluxe Resort Hotel & Spa

@iratravel This is our second visit to this hotel. We enjoyed our 2023 stay, and we decided to return. TRANSFERS AND FLIGHTS The hotel is located a bit far from Antalya Airport. Gazipasa GZP Airport is much closer. We decided to organize our own tour: we bought flights to this airport with Turkish Airlines (23+8 kg) and booked the hotel for 15 nights. Upon arrival at the hotel, we were immediately given wristbands. We checked into a standard room with a view of the sea around 2:00 PM. There was a €50 surcharge for late checkout on the day of departure, until 5:00 PM. The hotel interior is luxurious, reminiscent of Dolmahbahçe Palace in Istanbul, with beautiful and expensive furniture. Everything is clean and well-maintained. The internet works perfectly and without lags throughout the hotel, including in the rooms on the beach and by the pools (see photo for review). Cable TV has several Russian-language channels. HOTEL FOOD The food is top-notch. The restaurant is imaginatively decorated and adorned with a variety of dishes every day. A night buffet has been added for late-night guests, open from 11:30 PM to 2:00 AM. A wide variety of fruits, berries, and vegetables is available. Everything is unlimited: citrus fruits, medlars, peaches, apricots, apples, pears, cherries, strawberries, plums, bananas, watermelon, melon, and more. On weekdays, the restaurant always serves turkey, beef, chicken, trout steaks or grilled mountain trout, sea bass, and sea bream for lunch and dinner. Fish dishes are also available at the beach bar. On Tuesdays, the main restaurant has seafood day. The abundance of seafood is astounding: crabs, crayfish, octopus, shrimp, mussels, anchovies, and salted trout. Don't miss the grilled dishes outside the restaurant. We didn't even know it existed for two days. The seafood a la carte restaurant is beyond praise. Excellent service and a wonderful selection of dishes. Just like in an upscale restaurant. At the end of the meal, you'll literally crawl out of your chair. DRINKS AND BARS The most delicious coffee, Turkish coffee, in our opinion, is served at the lobby bar. You can see the bar menu in our review photo. The bars and restaurants serve only good-quality Turkish wines by the bottle: white, rosé, and red. The Lobby Bar also offers good-quality Turkish champagne. Imported drinks (included in the Ultra All-inclusive package) include Bells, J&B, martinis, and more. The lobby bar's Beverage Menu can be found in the Hotel App (see the photo with the QR code for our review). I'd especially like to mention the bartender at the Enes lobby bar and the bartender at the Furkan bar by the main pool. We mostly spent time at these bars in the evenings. They are true professionals. They are always attentive, mindful of guests and their preferences, prepare delicious cocktails, and meticulously carry out their difficult work. A huge thank you to them! SHOPPING There are four pharmacies within walking distance of the hotel, two Migros supermarkets (one right next to the hotel), and supermarkets with more affordable prices, such as A101, BIM, and SOK. We used the UP RSHB card at these supermarkets. Payment with this card was not accepted at Migros. We visited the Saturday clothing and food market in Mukhmatlar twice. The market is huge. Within walking distance from the bazaar are shops such as Waikiki, Madame Coco, MMM Migros, and others. The Akdeniz Park AVM shopping center is also nearby. The shopping center is home to well-known brand stores such as US Polo ASSN, Mavi Jeans, and Boyner. Incidentally, we also used the UP RSHB card to pay for these stores. You can get there by taxi. The metered fare is around 300 TRY. Or by city bus. The fare is 60 TRY per passenger. We took bus #1, a 3-minute walk from the hotel to the stop. Return by bus #2B, the stop is opposite MMM Migros. CURRENCY EXCHANGE There's a decent currency exchange office near the hotel. Directions: Get on the highway and turn right until you reach the nearest pharmacy. Cross to the other side and continue about 20 meters. BEACH The weather was fine in early June, but the sea was a bit rough. Only by the end of our stay did the sea warm up to 25 degrees. The beach, sun loungers, restrooms, and changing rooms are kept clean. The hotel beach was awarded the Blue Flag in early June. The food on the beach is good and varied. They bake güzlime (flatbread). The drinks are the same as everywhere else at the hotel. There are about 10 varieties of ice cream. There were enough sun loungers for everyone. Shade is provided over the sun loungers. You can also relax on the pier under umbrellas. Among the beach's shortcomings are the lack of ramps for exiting the sea and the sun loungers being too crowded. ANIMATION We liked the entertainment. On Fridays, there's a Turkish night and a dance show. Don't miss performances by touring artists. 🔴 Standard room review at the Lumos Deluxe Resort Hotel -    • THE LUMOS DELUXE RESORT HOTEL SPA 5*.КАРГЫ...   #Lumos...
