Recently we spent 10 days in Xperia hotel in Alanya. It was all inclusive deal so all food and drinks were included. It was 4 of us, 2 older couples, 2 rooms. Person at front desk asked us if we want to upgrade rooms to bigger ones with balcony for €10 per day. At that moment I realized that we booked standards rooms. So he took us to see the rooms. Standards rooms are nice, but quite small, single bed, 18 m2 with bathroom. Upgraded rooms were considerably bigger with balconies and there were 2 beds. Double and single. Not that we needed that extra bed. We took upgrade but didn’t like idea that upgrade is cash only, no credit cards. The other thing is that I checked *********** later and found out that there I would pay that upgrade 50 Euros for 10 days instead of 100. Rooms were on 5th floor. Nothing luxury but comfy enough. There is elevator. WiFi is included and we used it extensively. Coverage is not greatest. At the pool only if you are close to the doors, reception. TV in the room did not run a single TV channel properly. Bad picture and scratchy sound all over the programming. We had to use Netflix on iPad instead of TV. Hotel is nice looking building and is perfectly positioned in the city. Only about 150m from the Kleopatra beach and surrounded by countless shops, restaurants, small or big stores. 200m from the main street where one can walk in the evening and find more and better than expected. Trust me I know, we left with bags full of nice Turkish products, leather, tea, shoes. Steps from hotel there is a Alanya Museum that everyone should see. Turkiye is very history rich country. They respect it, protect it and display it for all tourists to see. There is a swimming pool in Xperia. We enjoyed it every afternoon after whole day on Kleopatra beach but had few issues with it: 1. Water in pool is cold. It was as they are adding tap water all the time or even chilling it instead of just letting it warm up to ambient temperature. 2. Beware of tiling around the pool. It is slippery when dry and when wet it is like skating rink. It is amazing that nobody fell and broke bones. Somebody has to resurface pool area with non slip coating or tiling. 3. Male washroom at the pool need urinal added. Needs renovation. We considered Kleopatra beach to be one of the nicest ones we ever experienced! Trust me, we visited quite a few. Punta Cana (Dominican Republic), Playa del Carmen (Mexico), Lido beach (Sarasota, Florida), Hvar, Split, Sevid, Primosten (Croatia), Siesta beach (Sarasota, Florida), South Beach (Miami, Florida), Key West (Florida) … and others. Kleopatra beach is an absolute gem! It is kilometres long. It has fine gravel which feels better than sand. Crystal clear sea, warm to perfection. You can rent a sunbeds and umbrellas. As a Xperia guests we got that every day for 50 TL each. So 2 sunbeds and umbrella set us for 150 TL each day. That is about 5.5 dollars or Euros. There is restaurant/bar at the beach called Number one and th
