Description of hotel: Gold Island Hotel in Alanya

Completed in 2011, this brand-new beach hotel has an eye-catching design.

Local amenities can be found within a couple of kilometres of the hotel and public transport is available within a few metres. The large resort of Alanya is 20km away and worth a visit for its many shops, restaurants and attractions such as the hilltop castle and Damlatas Cave.
