We had a rest in July 2023, flew from Sochi, so the prices were the most pleasant, the flight took only 1h40min.
We discovered 18+ hotels for ourselves and oh my God, this is the best thing that could be thought of. Silence, no screeching and squeaking, in contrast to Sochi, we have entered a paradise of silence.
Compared to 2022, the hotel has grown significantly in the quality of services.
Food: varied, a lot of meat (chicken, turkey, beef, lamb) cooked in various forms (baked, stewed, fried, rolls), as well as a lot of snacks, salads and sweets. The standard selection of alcohol at the bar, on the beach only wine and beer and alcohol. Well, the standard set of juices, sodas and teas and coffee.
Rooms:clean, the cleaning was done every day, the linen was changed every 3 days, if necessary, you can put a special piece of paper and you will change the bed linen.
Beach:there was a transfer to the beach, but it was an inconvenient departure time for us, so we walked, literally 5-7 minutes to walk. The sand is clean and silky. There were enough sun beds for everyone. One minus, but this is for us personally, there is a lot of smoking on the beach, it is impossible to breathe, especially at +45 and without wind, it turns into some kind of torture.
Staff:responsive, most understand Russian, the request to fix the light in the bathroom was answered quickly and literally in 30-40min there was already a master on the threshold.
Animation:none, very weak, if you were in the top five, then you will not understand much humor, but you came with dancing, dancing, the Turkish night was almost no different from an ordinary day, there were no tents and camels.
Location: quite convenient, near the Ancient city, but it will be a long walk.
To sum up, if you go to find fault and look for cons and jambs, then you will always find them and you will not have a rest) I liked the hotel, especially the age category, everything is quiet and peaceful, no one got drunk or rowdy. The hotel is not for super active people, but on the contrary, those who want to relax in peace and quiet.
Great hotel. A solid four. There were actually no children on all the rest days, but on the last day a large family appeared from somewhere, hotel guests, as well as "strays" from the backyard came in, took a swim, lay around the pool and left. The territory of the hotel is more or less clean, there is
We stayed at this hotel for 9 nights in early August 2024. I will try to write my review honestly and impartially.
1. We bought a tour from Biblio-Globus. Flights, guides, excursions - everything is fine, but to go to the hotel upon arrival and to the airport upon check-out for an hour and a half, despite the fact that the air harbor is 60 km away, is ridiculous. They were delivered to some bazaars/ shops for 15-20 minutes. The heat is a bit of a buzz.
2. Finally arrived at the hotel. We had a room in the main building with a sea view. The young man at the reception apologized and said that he would have to spend 1 night in the Family room, because there is currently no free room in our category in the hotel. As compensation, they provided the service of a free safe until the end of the holiday. On the trail.the day was really moved. The number is "tired", but it was written about, and personally I was ready. But the view from the room is a fairy tale! The sea...
3. In general, of course, I must say that the hotel never pulls in 5 stars. Lobby- yes, more or less. But the restaurant has too little space for so many tourists. Sometimes there was just nowhere to sit! I'm not talking about food queues. There is probably nothing more to say about nutrition itself than what has already been written. You won't go hungry, but the scarcity of the menu was sometimes depressing. And most of the dishes are very spicy! I have a sick stomach, so I had to take pills. Fruits are very average. But sweets are really cool here! Especially baklava. It's just delicious! The free cocktails were very entertaining. The quality leaves me waiting for the best, but personally it didn't upset me much, because I don't like alcohol. But what upset me was the lack of free ice cream at the 5-star hotel. 2 euros for some pathetic ball. Shame on you!!! By the way, behind the Carrefour supermarket (not far from the hotel), for the same 2 euros, the portion is 4 times more.
4. I will write separately about the staff. By the way, I liked the cleaning. Always, when they came from the beach, the room had already been cleaned. And it seems that the maid did everything in good faith. That's just when I opened the bedside drawer in the nightstand, I found peelings of nuts and seeds. Apparently, the previous guests didn't really like the food either and they "caught up" with nuts. It's a pity they didn't clean up after themselves. And the maid did not check)
We did not notice any direct contempt for ourselves. But there is no cordiality and hospitality on the part of the staff. No smiles on the face of the guys at the reception. At the entrance to the restaurant for dinner, guests were sometimes greeted by the chef and the administrator. When they saw the Germans, they began to greet and smile. They didn't tell us anything. The most (and only) smiling person turned out to be the same maid. The work of the waiters is generally normal. They did what we asked.
5. The most beautiful thing in the hotel is the beach. The sun beds and awning require modernization, as for me, but the sea and the sand are wonderful! I didn't want to get out of the water. Clean, warm, salty... There is a bar where you can get drinks and eat.
Yes, it takes 5 minutes to walk to the beach and 8 minutes back (because it's uphill). But it didn't bother me. There are a lot of cats on the way, and they are so sweet)))
6. There is an animation program, but I can't say anything about it, because it is absolutely not interesting to me. I didn't go, I didn't look. It is better to walk along the beach along the sea. But this is for me.
7. To round it off, I can say for sure that I would not have gone to this hotel a second time. One of the main advantages is the absence of children and a wonderful beach. I, in general, went to the sea for the latter. And I sincerely did not understand the people who lay around the two pools all day. To each his own... And Side Alegria would like to wish to update the hotel and still reconsider the concept of treating guests. There is no end to the latter, but there is no limit to perfection either)
We had a rest from July 13 to 22, 2023. Nice, quiet, peaceful hotel. The rooms are clean. The staff is polite and hospitable. The food is delicious and varied. I would especially like to mention a very positive, friendly, smiling woman Zeynep Abla. who roasts amazing gozlems by the pool.
We recommend it to everyone.
We had a rest in September 2024. It's hot) the hotel is not bad, the guides are annoying as always, the territory of the hotel is small, cleaning every day, 3 minutes walk to the sea. The price and quality are consistent.
I had a rest in July 2024.
The hotel itself is not bad, but I DO NOT RECOMMEND it for visiting due to the Russophobic position of the staff (and superiors). They understand Russian, as they do everywhere in Side, but they pretend that they do not understand. They ask not to wear the symbols of the Russian Federation and so on. At the same time, there are friends in the neighboring hotel, there are no such "problems" (there is enough English level, and in general we do not pay attention to this).
Also, the safe is not included in the price, the guide from Sunmar said that "a visitor recently had $700 stolen from a suitcase."
Taking into account the cost of vouchers, you can choose a hotel no worse.
The impression is ambiguous. Everything seems to be fine. The sea, the sun, the beach are beautiful! Hotel... A magnificent reception hall. And the rooms are very tired. The staff is trying hard, many people understand Russian. It is very noisy in the rooms! Well, very much! Disco rumbles until 2 a.m. If the room is on the other side of the hotel, then there is constant traffic. Solid food 3. But you won't stay hungry, of course. The drinks are local, but the wine and beer are not bad. Every other day, a bartender works in the lobby bar, who apparently hates everyone. He dilutes the drinks, pours not what the guests ask for. The pool is small and clean. There are enough sun beds. We were lucky to have a Spanish guide! He is very attentive, everything is on the case, he will always help.
Since prices have jumped a lot, we were looking for a hotel at an affordable price for us and with the concept of 18+. And we found it)) not a small hotel with a very relaxed atmosphere. I liked two pools - one for a relaxing time, the other with slides and animation. The restaurant has delicious food and there is always a place. It's not far to the sea, the road was not stressful. The sea is awesome, there are enough sunbeds. It is often written in reviews that the road to the sea is through garbage cans. I can say that the disadvantages can be found everywhere, and if you are set up for a positive, then nothing will overshadow the rest! We decided to come back, we liked it.
The average budget hotel has good food for this price category, the beach is also good (second line) alcohol for three in the evening entertainment at least if it is at an adequate price, you can recommend it as a normal four.
I am currently staying at this hotel, I chose it myself, read the reviews and description. But the first day and it's hard to convey emotions when you read bad reviews, you think that it's hard to please someone, but this is different!
The hotel is located on the second coastline, it was essential for me that I did not need to cross the road, but I could have walked safely. In fact, we were settled in the "building" Across the street from the main building! I am attaching a photo. You need to cross the road (there is no pedestrian crossing, you are standing, a busy road, waiting for all the cars to pass) then Turkish shops, then a gate, through the catacombs, everything is dilapidated inside. They offer to change the "case" to the "main one" for an additional fee, and not a small one. It is stated that the sea is 200m away, in fact we walk 600 from the second building.
For the sake of objectivity, the kitchen is between 3* and 4*, also not 5*.
AN HONEST REVIEW OF ALEGRIA!
We rested here from August 28 to September 4, 2023. The aftertaste of the hotel is twofold. Something is good, something is not so good.
pluses:
Check-in. We were greeted well, checked in quickly, the concierge helped us pick up our suitcases and showed us the whole room.
Food. A very diverse assortment, everything is delicious, in the first days the eyes ran away. But seafood and delicacies are not worth waiting for, there are none here. Grilled fish every day, for lunch and dinner. All kinds of meat, vegetables, side dishes, snacks, sweets, pastries, fruits, pickles. The soups seemed strange to us, we wanted a simple broth, but they only gave cream soups (tomato, yogurt, lentil, etc.).
Alcohol. There is also a large assortment. Cocktails, liqueurs, champagne, 3 types of wine, strong alcohol (vodka, gin, whiskey), only one beer - light. Like everywhere else in Turkey, it is difficult for them to get drunk, but in principle it is not bad. The main bar is open from 10:00 to 23:00. Further - for an additional fee. The beach bar is open until 16:00, although the website says until 18:00((
Purity. The room was cleaned every day. The repair is fresh, everything is there, everything worked.
Beach. Beach towels, deck chairs and pillows are provided. Pure golden sand. The sea was like fresh milk. You can have a snack (or a full lunch) on the beach from 12:00 to 15:00.
Animation. Calm and unobtrusive. No one touches you, you relax for your own pleasure. In the evenings, from 21:30 to 23:00, small shows (dancing, karaoke, foam disco) were held by the pool. Tables are set up by the pool, and there is also a bar. A nightclub is open after 23:00, but drinks are available there for an additional fee.the fee.
Pools. Big, clean ones. There are always free sun beds. There is a bar and 2 slides.
minuses:
Territory. Small and not green. I would like more space, greenery, flowers, but alas.
The road to the beach. The biggest disadvantage for me. You walk 200 meters downhill along a paved, dirty public path, along which people from other hotels, cars, buses, motorcycles also walk. Back up the mountain, respectively. There was no bus from our hotel, although the website says otherwise.
The view from the room. We overpaid 14 thousand for a room with a balcony and a super duper sea view, but we got a room on the 3rd floor, from where only a piece of the sea is visible because of the Sun Side Hotel in front and a tall palm tree))) But the view from the 6th floor is just awesome, but apparently someone will be lucky!
Well, in general, I would put 5 stars just for the food, and everything else is a maximum of 4 stars. The hotel is not bad, but for once.
We arrived at 06:00, checked into an economy room at 12:00.None of the reviews describe the anex block in detail.In fact, these are detached 2-storey bungalows.It is unclear if they are related to the hotel? Vacationers without bracelets and with children lived in the next room.People who were not attached to our hotel also arrived at the bungalow nearby…It remains to conclude that the hotelier just rented an apartment for more money.
But nevertheless, we liked living in the bungalow, quietly, calmly, our own pool (people without bracelets and with children also stay in it), the sea is much closer down the red carpet, so we did not pay extra for the main building and stayed there (although they ask from $ 70 to $ 140 for Also, the hotel
across the street (in the other direction from the sea) has some kind of building, which everyone speaks very badly about, almost a basement!!!Upon check-in, he refuses it (according to tourists-mold and musty smell).Apparently we were lucky with the bungalow…
The room is as small as possible (to the extent that only one bedside table is included)It is worth noting that the renovation is fresh, neat, and the furniture is not worn out.They didn't clean up every day, there is no gel or shampoo in a disposable container, only soap in hinged soap dishes
There is almost no territory , so this is a solid four.There are 2 pools, they are small for such a large hotel.
On the topic of food, they are not confused -they are fed normally (there is no seafood, but fish, chicken, lamb, sweets are cooked well)The restaurant is always clean, the tablecloths are white and the dishes are cleaned quickly by the waiters, there are no queues at bars and restaurants.
The system for issuing beach towels is inconvenient (it is better to have your own), 60% of the equipment in the gym does not work, and for some reason there is no water cooler.The hammam is on -it works like normal, but there is no soap in the showers.
The road to the beach runs from the main building through the public area (small household garbage in the form of cigarette butts, paper, plastic and container tanks all the way).
The beach-sunbeds are as close to each other as possible, even at 7 a.m. it's a little dirty-cigarette butts and other small things in the sand are not particularly cleaned.The entrance to the sea is convenient-sand, then there are stones.
Animation is minimal)
It is worth noting the excellent promenade, which starts a little further from the hotel and stretches to the oldest Side.
It is paid to weigh a suitcase (even if it is 1 euro, but for me it is a beacon, is this allowed in 5-star hotels?)
My opinion is a four-star hotel!A very budget, normal Turkish four!You need to choose a sea view when buying, because if you are economical, there are options that you will live in a separate building (it is unclear with what conditions).. But! Even when choosing and buying a room, the standard hotel practices checking in "next door, across the street..."
We were at the hotel from 17 to 24 March, the weather these days was excellent 20 , 23 + some even tanned and swam. The hotel is small, but very pleasant! Mostly Germans, but there were also quite a few Russians, except that the hotel had only opened since March 15th.The restaurant is small in terms of food, every day something new was added to the menu, very tasty, probably a good chef. There is no animation at this time, but we had fun ourselves, no one from the staff was against our fun! There was a doctor at a friend's, so they set the table for us, everything was noted as it should be, thank you!
A big plus is 18+, children are great, but it's much more comfortable to relax without them.
The food is fine, but the hotel does not pull in a five. There is no territory at all.
I'm going for the fifth time, I really like it, I choose it, I will be in April 2025, I hope everything is the same as always, everything is for comfort and convenience

We rested here in September 2023. We are quite satisfied with ourselves 👍🏻
Yes, this is an old tent, but clean and well-groomed with its own beach on the sea and a restaurant, which is very convenient if you do not want to interrupt your lounging on the beach, then you will be fed fish from the fire or meat, salads will also be able to collect a variety. And of course , to wash down with a cool beer or cocktail , where without it Russians on vacation .
And if you want soup for lunch, then please take a walk to the hotel to the restaurant.
As for nutrition in general, we did not starve from the word at all)))) and this is also one of the most important things on vacation in Turkey . A huge selection of meat dishes : chicken, turkey, beef and lamb . Beef, in my opinion, prevails . A rabbit was spotted a couple of times 🙂
Vegetables and herbs are also in abundance and in the best traditions of Turkey 👌🏻
Soups are different every day , tomato at the highest level 👌🏻
Desserts are also very diverse, we preferred halva and baklava, the rest did not go. Dried fruits and nuts are also plentiful, for breakfast there is a huge selection of fillers and toppings for porridge. Eggs in all possible variations 🙂 in general, you can eat delicious and healthy ... but mostly they still like more and all at once 😅
A little old dining room , but in general nothing 👍🏻 the area itself where the tables are very well always set, clean tablecloths , attentive and polite staff . There is always water on all tables outside, cool water 👌🏻
The room is clean, neat and no frills, the only unlucky thing is that in the building where a separate disco takes place under the windows and every evening until 23:00 either a savory disco or a "wonderful" karaoke is not critical for us, we were crazy only on the first day, when after the flight we rather wanted to fall asleep) and then we just weren't at the hotel until 23, we left for Manavgat until the evening or walked around the city mostly.
In general, a very good vacation considering the space prices for weekly tours . If you do not plan to sit in a hotel room all day or rummage around the territory in search of flaws , then this is a very decent option 🙂👍🏻
By the way, there are no children under 18 in the hotel, and no adult "dibosh" Russians were noticed. A pleasant contingent came across .
And of course a convenient location, a huge number of stalls where there is just everything))))
The ratio of price,quality,the sea is super,sun beds are always in abundance,kitchen for 4, do not wait for lobsters,230000 rubles for two for 10 days, dollars do not like to take euros with you.
18+ the hotel is already telling everyone, without squeaks, for a relaxing relaxing holiday, food and drinks are on the level, meets expectations, beach, sea class👍👍👍
Good time of the day! I have been vacationing in Turkey every year for more than 30 years and for the first time I faced the problem that in the lobby bar you stand in line and they pour gin into one glass at the bottom, like it's no longer allowed in one hand! The hotel is all inclusive, that's for sure!? What kind of nonsense is this? I'm not drunk, I'm not rowdy, I didn't steal, I paid for all inclusive or I don't understand something and all inclusive is not all inclusive!?
I was at this hotel for the new year . However, it's been a long time and it was my first 5 * in Turkey. I was just absolutely delighted with everything!!!! Food drinks rooms territory beach sea!!! It's just divine!!! Separately, I express my delight to the hammam!!! It's a miracle! Especially in December when there is no wild heat . I visited him every morning after breakfast! In general, after such a 5 *, I don't want to be in any place anymore))) I recommend it!!! Definitely!!!
We had a rest on October 9-21, 2022. The weather turned out to be a bit cold for us, in the evening it is not comfortable without a hoodie. For those who don't like the heat, it might be perfect.
1) elegant decoration of the lobby and other areas, all elevators are working.
2) we didn't expect much from local drinks, but we liked everything. We don't really like wine, whiskey with the inscription 1484 is gorgeous, with cola it's very tasty. They make delicious and varied cocktails, they especially liked them with milk, the main thing is to be able to explain what you want. The girl at the counter in the lobby bar in the morning did not understand English at all, the translator showed her in Turkish and got what they wanted. They pour into both glass and plastic, sometimes they ask what to pour into.
3) The food is average. The dishes are not signed. I didn't like mutton (I just don't like it as it turned out), I don't eat fish. There are 2-3 types of chicken to choose from. There is beef, but I didn't take any chances so as not to get on the lamb. I didn't like the pickled stuff at all, it's not edible. There are several types of salads made from fresh vegetables, but they are of the same type. I almost didn't try other salads, I saw pasta in some of them.. There are always French fries, good ones. There are a lot of desserts and they are delicious, I recommend them. Tea-brewing, can be diluted with hot or cold water. Coffee from a coffee machine or from a thermos. The juices are not natural, they are made from powder. Fruits-apples, pears, plums, grapes, melons, tangerines.
4) The dishes are really poorly washed, and dirty plates and mugs came across. But not all the time.
5) There are a lot of foreigners in the hotel and it's not just Germans. I didn't notice any special attitude towards them, it's the same for everyone. Everyone treats Russians well, it's not the nationality that matters, but how you behave. The fact that there are few Russians is good, there was no drunken brawl.
6) the sound insulation is not very good. I could hear the neighbors and, what I especially didn't like, the noisy staff in the corridors, but we get up early and it wasn't a problem for us. I haven't read any reviews about good sound insulation in hotels.
7) On the beach only fanta, cola, sprite, ayran, water, coffee, beer. Alcohol is not poured.
8) WiFi works well almost everywhere, there are no brakes. 9) you can have lunch at the beach bar from 12 to 15, there is less choice, but it's still good.
10) evening animation in different ways. Sometimes it was a lot of fun and there were memories, and sometimes it was very rotten. I would like to improve it.
11) there are economy rooms with a view of the road and on the ground floor. I think it's worth overpaying for better rooms after all.
12) the hotel has 2 well-maintained outdoor pools, lots of sun beds and slides.
13) the sea is perfect with a gentle entrance. There are several flat stones under the water, it's unpleasant, but it doesn't matter. Where deeper, if you lower your legs, you can get a pinch. Presumably these are crabs, there are no traces on the skin. We went for a walk along the shore-there are beaches and entrances worse, there are rocky ones.
There were always enough sun beds. It takes 5 minutes to walk to the sea by road, sometimes cars drive, I think there is no problem, it is very close.
14) water sports services all along the coast, if you go to the next point, and not at the hotel, they will be refused, all points are divided by hotels, which means that you cannot find a lower price. Parasailing is 70 euros for 2. 10 is discounted without problems, it is more difficult to negotiate further.
15) there are several minibuses on the way to the hotel. They don't have rooms, just a list of hotels and an endpoint. In general, it is convenient. The price is 1 euro or 12 liras.
No exchangers were found nearby. Only Western Union is in the Side near McDonald's. Side, Kazım Karabekir Cd., 07330 Manavgat/Antalya, Turkey. Near the hotel there is a carrefour supermarket, normal prices and assortment, prices in lira.
At the hotel, a person convinces you to go to the outerwear store, the transfer to and from there is free. The prices in the store are huge, the service is intrusive, if you are shy, it is better not to go there, it will not be easy to get rid of (this is not a feature of the hotel, almost every hotel has this).
They don't sell antibiotics in Turkey, my husband got sick on day 2 and partially ruined the rest, we usually don't take them and therefore didn't take them with us.
Overall impression: I knew all the disadvantages from the reviews before the trip, so there were no surprises. I chose a hotel where the disadvantages for us would be less significant compared to the advantages. The rest was wonderful!
They didn't give me a very good room. She asked me to replace it. They said full occupancy. There is no way to replace it yet. The attitude is not very good. The Germans are treated better. The food is three plus. In the sea after lunch, the waves knock you down. The hotel is located close to the sea, although they write that the second line.
We had a rest on July 16, 2024. Upon arrival, they say that there is no room, I suggest across the street. And it wasn't just us. Then they relocate every other day. It's the same for breakfast. If you have a sick stomach, take more pills. You will have to walk to the beach, there is no car. It's good that it's close. In the hammam, they directly impose a massage for 40 minutes.
In general, everything was wonderful. The rooms are clean, friendly staff. The food is certainly for an amateur, but the choice was great. Boring entertainment program. Wi-Fi practically DIDN'T WORK
A good hotel, but the animation is lame. Service, room cleaning, the range of dishes is at the proper level. I recommend.

The hotel is 5*, but solid 4+, (the room stock is not the newest) good food, the sea is 5 minutes on foot, a beautiful sandy beach, service without complaints, the price is adequate compared to the neighboring 5 rooms. Many come back again. Price=quality)
We had a rest in July 2023, the food is good, varied, a large selection of fruits. The beach is sandy, the sea is clean, there are enough sun beds. But in my opinion it's a long way to the beach, the road is dirty. The shuttle to the beach is rare.
We have just returned from a vacation at this hotel. Well, what can I say? Of course, this hotel is not a 5-star, but a 4-star stretch. The entire territory of the hotel is just a reception area and a swimming pool, which is constantly inhabited by foreign citizens. The road to the sea will take you 7-10 minutes along a dirty, littered roadway, and back to the hotel you will have to climb uphill, which is terrible for elderly people to walk in the full sun. The beach area itself is also unkempt, surrounded by cigarette butts, plastic bottles and other garbage, which unfortunately is not cleaned. There are enough sun beds, there is enough space for everyone, but the mattresses on the sun beds are beaten by life and they are already trying to clean them from 17-00, it is unclear for what purpose they are being cleaned at all? But the biggest problem is smokers on the beach, you will not breathe clean sea air, but you will inhale nicotine all the time!!! Now about the sea! Before the trip, I read so many reviews about the purest sea that I thought I would enjoy swimming, but ALAS!!! During the 10 days of rest, we did not see a clear sea. At first there were 3 days of algae and some sticks, then huge waves with sand, and the last two days it was stormy. If you think that there will be no children there, then I assure you that this is not the case!!! There are children all around and there are a lot of them. There is a cafe on the beach, but apart from water, coffee and soda with beer, there is nothing. All juices, cocktails are paid. Now about the hotel room. I must say right away that the room itself is not bad, cleaning was carried out daily, swans were constantly laid out of towels, and decorated with flowers, which was very pleasant. But the room itself faced the roadway, so it was very noisy, the balcony was practically not opened, they slept with the air conditioner running. A little bit about the dining room. The food is not bad in principle. You'll be full. I strained with delicious cakes, there are very few of them and they are immediately sorted out. Fresh juices and ice cream are available for a fee. But tea in Turkey, which we enjoyed drinking from armudas in other Turkish hotels, unfortunately was available only to Turkish guests, and ordinary Russians were offered to drink tea from ordinary glass glasses. The animation is very, very weak. In the evening, there is absolutely nothing to do except take a walk along the seashore. Or go down the shopping street, where you will be constantly pestered with purchases. If you come to sit in the lobby next to the reception desk, for example, on the couch comfortably and reclining, then you will definitely be commented on, because you are Russian, and this is not for you!! But if a German or a Turk falls apart on the couch with dirty feet, then this is normal!!! They will also be offered coffee or tea. I did not like the rest, we will never return to this hotel again!!! You have to choose, if smokers, the sea, dirty territory and walking in the heat along a dirty road with garbage to the sea are not so important to you, then here you are!!!
Good afternoon! We arrived tonight, I'm writing, so far in a fresh way)). The overall impression is good! A small hotel, 16+, i.e. there are no children in the territory. 2 swimming pools, 5 minutes to the beach from the hill down. Speaking of the sea right away: the approach is good, but it is dirty, Check-in from 14.0, we arrived at 6.00, we were settled at 13.00. People swam (then no one, then a bunch of them, I'll say right away that there are very few Russians). The sun beds by the pool are good, but on the beach .... kapets. Of the cons: seasoned towels, which are given out and accepted by the hour (from 8 to 11 and until 17.30, do you need to take it). The next disadvantage is the local animation, which is 3+. Plus personally to the animator - Nino for his mimicry and energy. The food, of course, is excellent! Starting with snacks, ending with sweets, pastries. The overall impression of the trip to Turkey: I haven't been there for 3 years, the price tag, of course, in comparison, has become cosmic. You won't stay hungry! Conclusion: The best four 4*! Not 5! If they ask, I would go, I will answer in Sid-no. To the hotel of this chain-yes!
The hotel is not bad, but the renovation was a long time ago, so of course it is far from 5 stars. The entertainment room is very sparse. You can't even buy elite alcohol for money, only local. Wi-fi was constantly lost. The safe is paid. The food is always the same. During the 8 days of rest, they gave sushi once and had fish a couple of times. Meat is also not very good, mostly chicken. Despite the fact that the hotel is 18+ and there are no children of young people there, too, 50% of the rest are pensioners. And young couples. There are very few singles and mostly Germans there. There are only a few Russians. In general, everything depends on the mood, if you are in the mood, then you can relax and light up there. I advise you to go to the Liman nightclub with an animator, the prices are of course huge. Admission is $ 15, the cheapest cocktail is 1700 rubles, the cheapest beer is 800 rubles, a small bottle of water is 600 rubles, but duda brings awesome DJs and top music. The club is on the waterfront, there are many yachts and a very beautiful view
A good hotel, cleaned normally, the food is also normal, but there is a lot of variety, but you can always find something to eat)
Alcohol is also normal, champagne and wine are dry, very sour, but beer and cocktails are excellent, many Europeans are +40, but we were just going for a relaxing holiday and got it))
To begin with, this is not the first time I have been on vacation in Turkey! I have been in different areas in hotels from 2* (Miranda Moral Hotel), Sun Fire Beach Hotel, Wind of Lara Beach Hotel, Diamand Elite Hotel. I really liked the last 18+ hotel, so we set out to find something similar without children). Because prices jumped up significantly this year, the choice was not great) Out of 5 * and 18+ suitable for the price, we stayed at this hotel! The reviews were good, we bought a tour, we were waiting for a vacation. About a week before departure, we went to read reviews and saw a publication about the hotel Administration... I was so upset, I already wanted to change the hotel, I thought the vacation would be ruined! But my sister dissuaded me (and actually they collected funds for rest all year, it's not so easy to change) My sister is an optimist in life (she quickly brought me to my senses) we are going on vacation!
The Krasnoyarsk-Antalya flight takes place on board the Azur airline. Of course, the planes are not new, but the service is excellent, there was enough legroom (I am 180cm tall for me, this is important, I usually sit side by side) the food was delicious. Seats were booked back and forth through the Azur website, which is very convenient!
We arrived at the hotel at 10:15. (5 people from the bus) We were immediately put on bracelets and offered to go to breakfast (which we were incredibly happy about) After breakfast, we decided to change our clothes and go to the beach. While we were getting ready, a man came up to us and informed us that the room was ready) We did not expect that at 11:00 we would already check in) The vacation started well, a comfortable flight without air holes, a delicious breakfast at the hotel, quick check-in) I share my impressions with my sister, and she responds to me, wait, now you will have a penthouse with a Jacuzzi 😁 I say, I had a bath 1 time in my life in Vietnam, in other hotels there is always a shower room 🙄 And here both in word and deed! 😳 they take us to the 3rd floor, we go into the room, the balcony opens onto the roof of the Reception (here's the penthouse for you) and the most important pleasant surprise for me is the BATHTUB!!! There was no limit to happiness! We unpack our suitcases, start to sort things out and then the air conditioner breaks down 😳 You know, without any problems and any extra charges, they change our room to the same one, also a penthouse with a bathroom 😊 everything works, everything is fine! (I want to say about the bathroom, nothing ran anywhere, everything worked like clockwork!)
Well-fed, satisfied, we go to the beach! As everyone wrote here, you leave the back entrance of the hotel and go down the slide. (We left the elevator, 10 steps and you go on the way to the beach (towels were given out where the hammam was from 8 to 11, they were handed over every day after the beach from 17 to 18:30 for FREE every day) the road to the beach took 5-7 minutes maximum (the view from above was beautiful, on the sea) There were enough sun loungers for everyone, even with full occupancy of the hotel (the only thing is better to come earlier if you want to choose a place) We went to the beach every day after 8 a.m. The sea was gorgeous, the first 2 days were stormy, but even though I swam, it wasn't scary, because the depth started after 10 meters.
We lay on the beach all day, had lunch at the bar, there was always fish, burger patties, chicken, meat for shawarma (potatoes rice greens pasta cucumbers tomatoes sauces fruits, etc.) from drinks: ayran water wine beer gas water.
I want to say a special thank you to the older man, I was surprised by the cleanliness of the restrooms! He washed them all day in the heat, without any schedule! (He would like to learn from the cleaners of the restrooms in the hotel itself)
In the evening, after the beach, we went to the hotel and were going to dinner! (The path was uphill, but we took a column with us and went to the hotel to incendiary music)
Dinner at the hotel is a separate topic, they were fed for slaughter (I think I brought an extra 3 kg with me 🙄) meat boiled fried meat, kebab, whole fish, salmon fish steak, I'm silent about the side dish, vegetables fruits (peaches strawberries, etc.) soups (my favorite) a lot of things and very tasty! (Dinner was supervised by the management every evening, the chef, the manager, everyone was welcomed and asked if the guests were satisfied with everything. I also watched them on the beach every day around lunch, checked the work of the staff. None of the persons previously written in another review molested us, did not say bad words! They seemed like decent men to me! I specifically observed their behavior, having read a negative review and did not notice anything like that in relation to other vacationers!!! There were a lot of girls, they were beautiful, but what I was very afraid of, there was no indecent behavior on the part of the hotel Administration!!!)
We've been to the evening show a few times! The artists are trying their best! We mostly either went to bed early, because the time difference with Krasnoyarsk, or went for a walk on the boardwalk, went to watch the night Side, went shopping (fortunately it's all nearby, just need to leave the hotel)
Someone writes that they don't like something, they are trying to find negative points, I was looking for a positive and for the amount I spent on this vacation, I will say I got what I wanted! Super beach, delicious food, clean sleep (by the way, I think the linen was changed every day and cleaned too)
We calculated that all this cost us 7,900 rubles per day with a flight (at our lake. Uchum day 5000 rubles 3 meals a day without transfer to the place, and this is not even the sea)
The only thing I didn't like was the smokers on the beach! You're going to breathe the sea air, and here you have cigarette air on you! We are spoiled in Russia with special places for smoking, but unfortunately this is not about Turkey
The rooms are small and the staff is good, there are no intrusive people, the food is good.in the sauna, I would like to change the sun beds and put additional relaxation chairs, let the music play
my husband and I stayed at this "miracle" hotel from 07/22/2023 to 08/03/2023. For 10 years we have been traveling to Turkey 2 times a year, almost always to different hotels, this is the first one where we will never return. I read about the "tired" rooms before the trip, but they are "very tired", a 5-star hotel should not allow itself to do this. About the declared services, a separate conversation, it is difficult to imagine such savings:
1. the SPA pool is closed, the gym is also closed, in any case, no simulator is working,
2 animation (not expected to be active) boils down only to Nino dancing by the pool, there is no darts, no bocce, no volleyball. After all, these games do not require much effort, the men organize themselves, communicate, but no. it was on the beach in all hotels except ours, and our men asked for teams to other hotels.
3. there was not a single device for drinking juice in the public domain, only in the lobby bar, you have to stand in line to drink a glass of diluted juice, and in the restaurant during meals. I didn't drink such disgusting coffee anywhere at all, there was one coffee machine where decent whole grain coffee was in the lobby bar, and even then it was regularly turned off.
In general, I have not met a more disgusting "five", this is a "three" with tension.
She was a regular guest of the hotel. The location was also suitable for 18+. I don't find fault with food, that's not why I come to Turkey. But for the record: the food is average. I arrived today - I was given a room with a "beautiful" view (I attach a photo). He is next to the stairs: you can hear the staff and guests walking. The music is playing. You can't open the curtains. The manager assured me that there were no other rooms. They promised to change it, but no. Oh, a girl (a regular guest) The uncle manager could have offered something better, besides his arrogant face and a view of a piece of the building. The newlyweds who came with me on the same day and indicated in advance that they were on their honeymoon received the wrong room that they had booked.
By the way, last time the administration was more friendly and responsive!
And the surprise was - a cockroach! Of course, this hotel can hardly be called a 5-star, rather a solid 4-star., but this is no good! Right before entering the restaurant, I met this mustachioed and unpleasant and, by the way, not small - about the size of a woman's little finger. The hotel is not bad, but it is necessary to correct the shortcomings. Good luck! Thanks for the rest!)

We are staying at the hotel from July 2 to 10. I am writing a review on the spot.
After the terrible reviews, it was a rush to come here, as it turned out in vain. Everyone sees what they want. Before that, I rested in hotels where they stopped eating because "there are only six types of bread." I write as it is from our point of view.
The hotel itself is certainly not a top five. The entrance group is of course luxurious, but the territory is only along the edge of the hotel, there is practically no infrastructure, there is no ala-map. There is no uai concept. The rooms are clean, everything works, but tired.
But there are two wonderful pools (one quiet, the second with slides is a party)
There are enough sun beds. There is a shadow.
I think the hotel itself is well located. We only drove an hour from the airport. Manavgat is 5 km away, in kumkei itself in the surrounding area there are markets, malls, makdak and many, many other things.
We were settled quickly. But not in those rooms), provided that they will be moved to rooms tomorrow with a voucher with a sea view, free safe and late check-out, we did not argue and we were really checked in the next day after breakfast.
The room is cleaned once a day. Change of towels every other day.
The woman who cleans our towels turns crocodiles, swans, butterflies for us, replenishes water supplies.
The staff is friendly, there are Russian speakers
Mostly German-oriented, but you can always explain.
The food here is excellent.
Dear grandpa, who roasts fish and meat on the fire, we intend to seriously take home!
The products are of good quality, there is no breakdown with digestion!
Meat: chicken, beef, lamb
Fish: farel, dorado
It's all on fire yum yum
They bake pancakes and donuts in the morning!
The bar is not very luxurious, but there are good bartenders in the lobby. They squeeze alcohol by the pool and it turns out to be a body
Wine: red, white, pink, champagne
Cocktails based on rum, vodka, gintonic, whiskey and cola
In general, it is difficult to stay hungry and sober here.
The sea is very close.
It is comfortable to go both there and back.
The contingent at the hotel is really mostly pensioners from Europe
But we have teamed up with the youth and are having quite a fun vacation
In general, the atmosphere is friendly
We were very worried about a possible haight, but everything is great.
Animation in the evenings is not intrusive and fun
There are hookahs for $ 12
In general, everything is OK here.
The hotel does not pull in five stars, rather a budget 4-star hotel. We read the reviews before buying the tour, so we knew and were ready. In general, we are satisfied with the hotel. It takes 5-7 minutes to walk to the beach, the sandy beach with a perfect sloping entrance. There is a bar and lunches on the beach (free with AI). The hotel has various pools from 0.5m/1.35m/1.5m/1.8m, animation in the evening. Buses run to the old Side from the stop next to the hotel, in the walking distance of tourist shops with souvenirs, clothes, etc., but it is also better to get off at the stop and get to Manavgat.
The rooms were cleaned every day, the attached photo shows the view from the balcony of the room of the category "sea view". There is a Russian TV and air conditioning. Wi-Fi is extremely unstable, but it's free.
We rested at the end of June 2024.a hotel for 5 does not seem to pull.solid 4. The sea is nearby.meat and fish are well cooked.and so it 's normal .Have a nice stay, everyone.
There are good programs, there are slides, the food is excellent, it looks expensive and rich. However, of the cons:
- budget rooms are located in the houses across the street
- we were settled in a kind of double room, but it is clearly a single room - one bedside table, one bedside lamp and even gave one key for two
- dirty beach

We rested from 09.05 to 18.05. I liked the hotel, it was very clean and comfortable. It takes 5 minutes to walk to the beach from the slide, and there are buses back. The beach is clean, the entry into the sea is long (shallow) The food is very tasty (squid and mussels appeared before departure), a variety of fruits, especially the jugs with mineral water and lemon on the tables were very pleasant. In the lobby bar, the bartenders are not very friendly, but on the beach and by the pool where the slide is generally cool. (Everyone remembers) Another big plus of the hotel is that you can extend the room at a late check-out for an adequate price, and if you don't want to, then you only leave the room at 12, but use all the services of the hotel. In general, the rest was a success! New acquaintances! (In Turkey, everything has gone up in price 3 times)
