"Overall, we enjoyed our stay at Orange County Resort Alanya, but I would rate it around 4.5/5 rather than a true five-star resort.
The entertainment was by far the highlight. The evening performances were excellent, and some were genuinely better than acts we have seen on Britain’s Got Talent! There were plenty of activities throughout the day, making the resort lively and very good for families.
The sea was clean and immediately beside the hotel, and we loved the pier, particularly the beds provided there. The slides were also very good and suitable for different ages, although they were sometimes closed unexpectedly. The pool water was too warm to be refreshing, and finding sunbeds was extremely difficult—even very early in the morning. More sunbeds and some fans on the pier would help.
Food was generally good, with plenty of snacks and drinks around the pool. The fish sandwich near the beach was fantastic, the ice cream was nice, and the Turkish coffee by the pool was excellent. However, restaurant food became repetitive and there were long queues for the better dishes. Most importantly, the restaurant desperately needs better cooling or fans, as it was often far too hot to enjoy a meal comfortably.
For a five-star Turkish resort, I also expected much more authentic Turkish food. There was too much emphasis on international dishes such as sushi. We love sushi, but unfortunately the sushi here was not good, and Turkey has so many better local foods to showcase. I would"
