Michell Hotel & Spa 5 * (Turkey / Alanya): photo, rates and reviews

The Turkish coast of the Mediterranean Sea has longbecame for us a favorite place of rest. First, it is close, secondly, inexpensive, thirdly, qualitatively. In addition, the climate here is simply ideal for Russians and no acclimatization is required. In addition, in these parts there are many historical sights - a rich heritage of peoples (Armenians, Greeks, Byzantines, Phoenicians, etc.), once inhabiting the territory of modern Turkey. And this feature attracts on the coast not only the fans of beach holidays, but also sightseeing tours.

Holidays in Turkey

The biggest advantage of this country fortourists is free, that is, visa-free entry. When crossing the Turkish border, it is enough for Russian citizens to present a passport, a ticket to a particular hotel, for example, at the Michell Hotel Spa Alanya, and a return ticket for the plane. Until 2013, without a visa in Turkey, it was possible to stay for 60 days, but today this period has been reduced to 30. As already mentioned above, this country has many worth visiting sights, but its main feature is still beautiful beaches and chic hotels along the whole coast. Among them you can find both budget 2-3 * and luxury five-star deluxe hotels, which is a brand new and modern hotel built Michell Hotel Spa 5 *, which is located in Avsallar, Alanya. By the way, until recently at this resort there was not a single five-star hotel. However, today, 400 meters from the beach flaunts its original, similar to the ship eight-story building. Before proceeding to describe this hotel, I want to tell you a bit about the area in which the Michell Hotel Spa is located.

Alanya, Avsallar: general description and beaches

The coast of Alanya produces on holidaymakersimpression of "naked", devoid of vegetation. However, this does not concern the village of Avsallar, in which the Michell Hotel Spa Alanya 5 is located. Here palm trees and other tropical plants grow magnificently, among which you can see royal bananas. This situation is facilitated by the location of the resort on the shore of the bay, which protects it from winds. In other villages of Alanya (Inzekum, Mahmutlar, Konakli, etc.), everything is different, there is practically no vegetation. Probably, it is because of this that Alanya is not among the most popular tourist destinations in Turkey. Of course, in the territories of numerous hotels there are many artificially planted trees, flowering shrubs, etc. The hotel administration wishes thus to correct this "omission" of nature and turn its complexes into blooming gardens.

In addition, rest on the coast is considered the mosteconomical. Here you can rarely see five-star hotels. For example, in the village of Avsallar until recently, there was not a single deluxe hotel. In the summer of this year on the shore of azure bay, Michell Hotel Spa 5 * has finally opened its doors to visitors. Reviews of tourists who have already visited this chic hotel are quite positive. However, according to almost all tourists, there is still much to do to bring it to the state of 5 *. The biggest drawback of this German hotel is the private beach. It is poorly adapted for a full beach holiday. Logging into the sea is uncomfortable and even dangerous, so most tourists prefer to relax next to the chic pools. Plus, the hotel is the presence of a chic spa center with a wide range of procedures. And in general, this resort has a lot of health facilities: hammams (Turkish baths), thalassotherapy centers, massage rooms, etc.

Climate

As Alanya is at the foot of the Taurusmountains, it is protected by them from the invasion of winds blowing from the north. The subtropical Mediterranean climate contributes to the establishment of wonderful weather conditions for beach holidays. The swimming season here lasts from late April to November, and in Avsallar, the warmest of Alanya settlements, from the beginning of April to the end of November, that is, a month longer than in other areas. If you have not had time to rest this year, then you are still ahead. Until the end of November you can visit Alanya and settle in the chic hotel Michell Hotel Spa. The only thing to consider when buying a tour to this hotel is that the children in this hotel have nothing to do. For them there is no entertainment and amenities. In a word, this is not said openly, but the hotel is absolutely not meant for living with couples with children.

How to get there

Avsallar is located 140 kilometers from the airportthe city of Antalya, where planes come from all over the world, including from many large cities of Russia. This terminal is the closest to Alanya. And if you are going to the village of Avsallar to rest in the five-star hotel Michell Hotel Spa 5 * by air, you must purchase a ticket for the flight to Antalya, and from there to the resort you will need to go by car to Alanya first, then another 24 kilometers to Avsallar. For a fee, the employees of "Michelle Hotel" will meet you at the airport and deliver directly to the territory of the hotel complex. However, you can also use minibuses (fare of 5 euros).
