Location
Club Serena Hotel is located in Topialty, although some sources say that this is Kizilot resort. The latter name rather refers to the area around, which has recently been built up by hotels. Whatever the case, this place is located some twenty kilometers from the famous Manavgat. We can say that the hotel occupies an important strategic position between Alanya and Antalya, and from a tourist point of view it belongs to the famous resort area called Side. To get here, you need to fly to Antalya, and then follow the transfer or regular bus, and then a minibus-dolmush. The airport is eighty-odd kilometers away, but Turkish public transport is so good that you won't even notice it. In the village, just across the road from Club Serena Hotel 4 Kizilot, there is a good market near the mosque. There you can buy strawberries and cherries if you are missing the variety of fruits offered at the hotel itself. There are also good souvenirs at prices that are lower than in Antalya.

There is also a "villa" and three one-story blocks. The hotel was built in 1995, but well renovated. The area of ​​standard rooms (there are 76) is small, from ten to 20-23 square meters, and there can accommodate from one to three people.

Sea and other water procedures
Club Serena Beach Hotel, like any club hotel, overlooks the coast. Not without reason in its name is the word “scourge”, that is, the beach, so, of course, it stands on the first line. The shore is a mixture of pebbles and sand. What does it mean? The beach itself, where the sunbathing zone is located, is sandy, and pebbles are near the entrance to the sea. However, the presence of special bathing slippers completely removes this problem. The beach is small, but its own, and therefore umbrellas and sun loungers with mattresses are free for hotel guests, but towels, alas, no, you need to take with you. For better air bathing, sun loungers are set on the pier. There is enough space for everyone, and nothing needs to be borrowed in advance. The beach is well cleaned, and despite the fact that our compatriots tend to throw garbage in the morning, it looks just perfect. The sea is very beautiful, blue, but constantly worried. Therefore, for those who are afraid of storms, there are two air pools (the third is a "paddling pool" for children), as well as a water slide - one, but a triple. The water in the sea is very clear, and if you want to dive with a mask, then a few tens of meters from the coast you can find gorgeous fish.
