The territory of the hotel is small, but green and well maintained. The birds are singing merrily in the morning. There is a small outdoor fitness area on site, as well as a hammam and massage room.
The hotel has its own beach with white and golden sand and a gentle entrance to the sea. The beach is clean, it is being watched. The beach is a 10-minute walk away. A round-trip transfer starts from the hotel every 15 minutes.
There is a bar on the beach, you can have a full lunch, or just have a snack.
But in the main restaurant of the hotel, of course, the choice of dishes is much larger than on the beach.
I must say that despite the fact that this hotel is 4 stars, the quality of the food was better than in some 5 star hotels. We liked that in addition to the usual dishes of European cuisine, there were also local dishes of national cuisine.
Separately, I would like to mention the excellent work of the staff in the main restaurant and in the beach bar: attentive and friendly service.
And there is an excellent team at the reception, ready to help with any issue.
We were satisfied with the rest, and the hotel exceeded our expectations.

As soon as the spring sun appears after the winter frosts, we begin to look into our computers in search engines related to holidays by the sea.
We set dates, look at different countries in search of tours.
I want a minimum flight time, of course the best hotel with the appropriate reviews from previous colleagues, while trying to fit into the planned budget.
According to our requests and the necessary criteria, Turkey wins any competition.
We have been traveling to the Mediterranean Sea of Turkey since 1996.
We visited all regions at different times from spring to autumn.
This year, the time was chosen from September 12 to 26.
Prices were slightly higher now than in the past. Comparing our previous "conquered peaks", the price tag increased 1.5 times.
As a result of many years of searching, almost all the hotels offered by Side from available tour operators were, as we thought, learned.
Don't give up on the search! Prices are floating. From time to time, completely unfamiliar new sentences pop up. New surprises are always possible.
That's how we did it.
In the month of May, on one of the sites in search of hotels with a rating, I found an object unfamiliar to me before.
It was the "Side Village Hotel". The price and reviews were surprisingly very interesting.
Kumkoi district, familiar from previous trips and left good memories.
We have studied the reviews on various resources. There were more of them from European tourists.
Apparently, it was only in recent years that our compatriots began to visit this hotel.
When planning a joint vacation in the company of tourists from Europe (our closest friends), we suggested that they consider this hotel.
It turned out that they have it there in the list of the best hotels (as in Russia, like the "100 best products").
We'll take it!
We bought from Pegasus from the "Cote d'Azur" in Naberezhnye Chelny.
Initially, we wanted to fly from our city, but later we changed the departure city (Naberezhnye Chelny to Kazan) and the airline (Southwind Airlines to Turkish Airlines).
They were not upset by the replacement. I had to drive to Kazan in my own car (with parking there), but the airline has better flight and service conditions, more time has been added to the vacation. As long as the charter leaves on time.
I should immediately note that the round-trip flight was on schedule.
Flight in the 4th and 5th aisle rows, one after the other on the plane (accidentally dropped out) it was very comfortable. Business class (according to the placement of seats).
I never stop admiring the work of Antalya Airport staff every time! They quickly process a huge number of flights, managing to smile at the passenger.
The Pegasus transfer was provided by a large comfortable Mercedes bus for six families.
Of the six hotels, ours was the third stop, not counting the intermediate one for 15 minutes.
In the early morning we disembarked at the "Village hotel in Side".
The hotel was still asleep. The territory is empty.
The young man on the recipient cheerfully and with joy in his eyes met the long-awaited guests.
They filled out questionnaires, got engaged in blue bracelets, and brought their luggage to the service room.
They positioned their bodies in the lobby opposite the reception. There are a lot of armchairs and sofas. There is a toilet, there is a TV, a machine with coffee, cappuccino, cocoa and tea. That's better! (After the road)
We understand that after 14:00 it will be even better.
There, at the reception, early in the morning, we met a family from Samara, who arrived a little later. Victor, Marina and two-year-old daughter Victoria. A very pleasant young family!
We went to breakfast.
Watermelons, melon, plums, apples, pears, grapes, kiwi, apricot, oranges... Not bad for 4* for breakfast!
Eggs in a shell and without it in five types.
French fries. Cheeses of various varieties and types.
I don't usually admire baking, there was a lot of it in a wide range.
I was very surprised to have the opportunity to squeeze fresh juice out of an orange on my own!
Then we started every morning with freshly squeezed cold orange juice!
After the night flight, we did not immediately study the external locations, we studied everything before that on the computer. In that lobby, they decided to wait for their time to check into the room.
At 11:30 that hour came. Much earlier than standard time, we were kindly escorted to the farthest and quietest castle of this hotel, room 1303.
Initially, we ordered a 2-bed standard room, and the friendly Guy who carried our luggage showed and instructed us in a 2-room family room, where there is a hall, two rooms for 4 people, a balcony with a table and 4 armchairs overlooking the quiet chamber of the neighboring hotel. Another surprise!
By the way, later, swimming in the sea and meeting with Victor (Samara), I was glad that they also got a "standard" family room. The hotel has more family rooms than standard ones. Thanks to the greeters for their hospitality!
The room is clean, everything is conveniently and functionally located.
There is a window in the bathroom. In our case, above the sink, a little shelf prevented me from approaching the faucet with an insufficiently prominent jaw for cleaning, but I got used to it.
The next night, our other half of the company arrived. They immediately checked into the room.
The conditions are in accordance with the order. They plucked up the courage to ask the administration about the possibility of living closer with friends.
The hotel is 100% loaded at this time. Thanks to the managers who met us halfway!
We lived next door for two weeks!
A lot has already been written about food. I can confirm that she is beyond praise.
My wife is a fine connoisseur of tea, she praised the properly prepared, good-grade tea throughout her vacation.
Knowing the previous, similarly enthusiastic reviews of vacationers about the kitchen, we specifically asked the guys: what is the Chef's name?
Osman!!! This is the magician who, every day with his team, gives guests a miracle of culinary creativity! Great respect and gratitude to the professional! Such delicious boiled beef, mutton and fish are not always tasted in good restaurants, only in the village. Meat, fish, grilled vegetables are no worse, sometimes better than our picnics. Pastries and sweets... Don't write about it, the kitchen is great!
The hotel has a very meticulously selected team of waiters. The work of which is at a high quality level. They are very friendly, set up to meet the needs of temporary residents of this "Village".
Thank you all very much!
In the evenings, we had dinner on the 2nd floor (terrace) above the restaurant, outdoors. I highly recommend it, since there is a separate bar for fewer customers and there is no active movement of people with dishes filled with excellent culinary dishes.
Big greetings to the waiters Mehmet and Kadila! They work flawlessly! We were lucky to be under their hospitable wing for several evenings, to get to know each other! Thank you for your warm welcome!
Oh, the Sea! The first entry into the sea surprised me with the warmth of the water. It came to mind: "Indecently warm."
In the following days, it was somewhat fresher and cooler, but on September 13 it definitely surprised.
There was a wave all the days, from 0.4 meters to 0.8 meters (subjectively, without roulette) and red flags were even hung on the beaches of hotels on one day. Tourists rejoiced, swam, jumped and rode the waves.
Entering the sea is convenient for children and adults. The bathing area is limited by the rusting pier bases of the neighboring hotel and a cable with floats dividing the territory of active water sports (bananas, cheesecakes, parachute...).
The beach is good. The sand is fine. Deck chairs under the right awnings. There are two lines of sun beds under each canopy. The one that is closer to the sea is for those who need the sun more. The second one, above, is always in the shade.
There is a beach restaurant that will completely satisfy the need for calories after a long sea pleasure. The choice of dishes, according to understandable sanitary requirements, is less than in the hotel, but everything is delicious!
Touching on the beach, I will definitely mention the Person who looks after and takes care of everything there. They are usually called "Beach Boy". There's definitely a "Beach Boss" here!
His name is Alishan.
This handsome man, his tall figure, energetic gait can hardly be overlooked.
There are enough places for everyone under the sun, but if suddenly there are gaps on the "chessboard" and you need help, this "grandmaster" will find a comfortable place for everyone, smiling and moving the deck chairs as you feel comfortable.
In addition, he prepares all sorts of exotic fruit cocktails, and in the evening he is included in the transfer from the beach to the hotel as a minivan driver (In the afternoon a small Mercedes bus with another driver).
Alishan manages to get out of his cabin before the passengers and kindly helps them out.
I don't think he's going to read this, but I want to send Him a "THANK YOU SO MUCH."
There is no animation. There is a volleyball court on the beach. No one calls there shouting "waaaleybool".
One of the tourists asked: why is there no volleyball? - There are no special applicants.
We want to!
OK. Alishan brought the ball. People were playing that day.
Demand creates supply.
Volleyball players, feel free to Alishan!
I really enjoyed my stay at this hotel!
He's not pretentious at all.
There are no chandeliers the size of a children's pool, no illuminated glass elevators, no glowing fountains. It's definitely "Greetings from the village", except that the cows are not walking.
By the way, our friends read somewhere that this hotel chain has its own livestock farms and gardens.
We were very cozy, calm, delicious there, and in 14 days we all did not get tired. We would have continued for another 7 days or more.
Sometimes readers have suspicions that the review is purchased, registered, and so on.
Don't trust anyone! I'm allowed to. (From the Soviet film "17 Moments of Spring").
disadvantages.
1. Flies are small, but sticky, bite. Not so much, but one can drive you crazy. The problem is not the hotel. She is also beyond it.
2.The changing cabin on the beach is not equipped with hooks and a convenient flap.
3. The sports equipment located on the territory was designed by a designer who was far from the topic of sports and fitness. Only 2-3 designs can be used for a logical purpose.
However, there are spots on both the Moon and the Sun, we perceive them as nature and ordinariness.
Resume:
Overall, we really liked the hotel.
Accommodation and meals are above all praise!
The cleaning of the rooms, the change of bed linen and towels did not upset.
There were two inverter air conditioners in the room (inverter-silence!).
They did not swim in the pool, they did not know rotovirus and did not hear from others.
Compatriots Timofey from Komi and Victor from Samara had a rest with the kids, I heard only positive feedback from them. Everyone complained about the short-term nature of this relaxation.
