The 38-room Moonlight Hotel is a budget property whose top selling point is its location three short blocks from a long beach in the outskirts of Alanya. The spa is small but modern, featuring a hammam, sauna, three massage rooms, and a relaxation area, and the restaurant is a pleasant spot for a drink or a quick bite during the day. Rooms, however, are worn and basic, with serious maintenance issues (bare bulbs, broken switches, and shoddy repairs throughout), and lack of mini-fridges and safes. Some rates don’t include Wi-Fi, air-conditioning, or breakfast. Rates at the Moonlight are rock-bottom, but Parador Apart Hotel offers better value for just a little bit more money.

Located atop a hill in the outskirts of Alanya, the Diamond Hill is an upper-middle-range urban hotel catering to couples and families. Its 312 rooms have Ottoman-inspired decor, flat-screen TVs with international channels, and minibars stocked with sodas and water (only the latter is replenished daily, though). The spa is small but pleasant, offering various treatments, plus a hammam, sauna, and steam room that guests can use for free. There have been some complaints of repetitive food at the buffet, but there is also a great a la carte Turkish restaurant where guests can have dinner once per stay free of charge. There are several on-site amenities, including a private stretch of beach just down the street. However, those looking for a true beach resort experience in this price range may prefer the White City Resort Hotel.

This massive, upper-middle-range resort provides all-inclusive service and a wide range of activities for leisure travelers on the coast of Turkey. A beautiful beach, multiple sprawling pools, several restaurants, a relaxing spa, and loads of fun kids’ activities -- a water park and bumper cars, to name a couple -- make it an excellent spot to spend days on-site. All 748 rooms have minibars, flat-screen TVs, air-conditioning, and safes, but decor is generic, and they lack coffeemakers and high-end touches. Despite the incredible list of features, meals and customer service receive poor reviews. Another option is the Sentido Gold Island, which has a slightly more elegant design and adult-only section, but it lacks the huge range of facilities available at Long Beach.
