Literally, just a stone’s throw away from the beautiful Oba Beach, the 4-star Mesut Hotel in Alanya, Turkey, provides everything you might want for a laid-back holiday. This elegant, impeccable hotel offers top-notch facilities throughout. All air conditioned rooms come with a minibar, kettle, towels, flat-screen TV and free WiFi. Plus balconies that overlook either the Mediterranean Sea or the town of Alanya. The outdoor swimming pool is surrounded by a sun terrace, dotted with sun loungers and parasols, with a handy poolside bar, which sells light snacks as well as drinks. The buffet restaurant also benefits from mesmerising sea views, and offers both Turkish and international cuisine for breakfast and dinner. There’s also a snack bar that serves light meals and drinks.You'll find a games room with a TV, table tennis and darts. And if you venture over to the beach, you’ll find deck chairs provided.The city of Alanya, on Turkey’s southwest coast, is a cosmopolitan mix of lively bars that run along the waterfront and a medieval fortified harbour and castle. Two long Blue Flag beaches are separated by a towering peninsula. Cleopatra Beach, on the western side, is the more popular of the two. It’s a two-kilometre stretch of sand with a dramatic view of the castle. The Eastern Beach has a slightly rockier water’s edge, which suits snorkelling – it’s easy to spot octopus, eels and black scorpion fish in these waters.Alanya’s nightlife is famous in Turkey. The disco bars are a good place to grab a drink in the evening before the major clubs along the harbour get going around 11pm. The music in these huge venues ranges from electronic to techno to modern pop. If you still want to dance after 3am, there’s a shuttle bus from the harbour that goes to the super-club just outside town.For those looking for a daytrip, the ancient town of Side is just over an hour’s drive away. The Roman ruins are the centrepiece – a 10-minute walk takes you from the huge amphitheatre to the 2nd-century temples of Apollo and Athena. About 20 minutes north, you’ve got Manavgat, where the towering minarets of the opulent central mosque are a highlight. And just outside the town, there’s a pretty waterfall with shady tea gardens on the side.Reception will happily arrange car hire and provide tourist information.
