A good beach, there were enough sunbeds, Russian-speaking staff (!), checked in early when the room was ready, no problem, the restaurant has delicious food, soups are not very good. The rooms are clean, everything is as it should be. The Turks drove into the next room, made noise, and the audibility was great.
We had a rest in July 2023. Great hotel. Varied food, water slides, cleanliness, territory, beautiful sea and plenty of space on the beach. The evening animation is mainly performances by Turkish performers. I liked it, my husband didn't like it much. We had a great family vacation with a child of 8 years old. It fully corresponds to the description, and everything is in the best traditions of Turkish 5* and ultra all. Overall assessment 5++++ .

I give the hotel 5 stars ⭐️
pluses
1. A gorgeous sandy beach with a magnificent entrance to the sea. I was up to my chest for a long time.
2. A wonderful pier with sun beds, a bar. There are a lot of fish swimming around. The child caught a fish at an evening fishing trip specially organized by the animators
2. Nice territory. All in the shade. It is very comfortable to go to the sea in the heat.
3. Bars, refrigerators with water and iron are very thoughtfully located. Everything is at hand everywhere)
4. The waiters are all very nimble and responsive, they quickly approach the tables. I left a tip at first, but then I didn't-nothing has changed)
5. You can play boccia, mini golf, volleyball and other games. The active ones will like it!
6. Proximity to the Old Side. There's beauty there. We didn't have time to go around everything there in one walk)
7. A fun playground, even for adults it will be interesting)
8. The Lunapark is super. We rode a Dragon and rode cars. Everything is decent (145 lire for two tickets)
BUT there are also DISADVANTAGES
1. There are a lot of small children, sooo many) and they are yelling everywhere, even in the lobby at 1:00🤣If it doesn't bother you, then you won't notice))
2. A lot of Turkish families and they smoke almost everywhere (((
3. The water park could be put on the plus side, quite frisky slides, but on the slide in the middle (red, yellow, blue) I tore my swimsuit on my ass and decently tore off my coccyx😢 There are already special mats in many places, but there are no 👎🏻 4 here.The pools are all 140cm, except for the water park, there are 120.135cm. It seemed strange to me with such a large number of children.
5. Well, another disadvantage is the large number of people in the restaurant, what for breakfast, what for dinner. You walk around and you 're afraid of crashing into a plate . I was afraid that the child would get in the head.
The food itself is good, soups, however, were more often in the form of mashed potatoes. I probably won't come a second time because of the large number of people. Maybe not in season, though, it's better and fewer people. We were in early August.There are still more advantages😊 I hope my review will help you decide on the choice of a hotel) I also read it myself!) Have a good mood and rest for everyone
We returned from the hotel with coxsackie😩
I have been flying to Turkey since I was 11 years old and there has never been such a thing in any hotel! My daughter got sick on vacation, fortunately not so much. And I just fell ill on arrival. With 39 and a rash.
It seems like I can't say that it's terrible, there were positive moments, but everything that is written in negative reviews is true.
Although the area is beautiful and large, the staff is pleasant and always ready to help!
But that everything is around for an additional fee, there is no animation and it's dirty and the food is monotonous - it's true.
It's a shame that this happened, my husband is in Turkey for the first time and now does not believe that there is a great vacation here!!
The only hotel I would never return to (((
You have every chance to improve! I hope that future tourists will have better luck.
We had a family vacation. It's a good hotel, mostly families with children on vacation. Cleaning is daily, but the floors are not cleaned. Upon check-in, they asked that the floors be washed because there was solid sand. The food is delicious, otherwise the service is excellent
A 5-STAR DISGRACE!!
Unfortunately, we had a summer vacation at this hotel. I've never seen such a dirty hotel. The rooms have never been cleaned. In some places the joints in the pools were covered with moss.
The square meters of the hotel's common areas are insufficient. In restaurants, the distance between the tables is 20-25 cm. Dec. A woman spilled raki on me from my desk with her bag she hung over her shoulder. It is impossible to take steps. Because of this narrowness, the customer falls for each other. It's a terrible environment.
The food is of lower quality than what comes out at the 4-course table d'hote places in the industrial district. The chicken you eat on the grill today becomes chicken with sauce tomorrow. Chicken soup the next day. There's nothing but chicken anyway. Red meats, meatballs are disgusting.
The salami sausage sausage that comes out for breakfast is the cheapest goods, all starch-printed, inflated.
We gave the world money and left. We have never been able to eat a meal or watch a concert with a good taste. The same people always sit in the front row with our money. The hotel owner turns it into a felfele with artists from the front.
The service is a disgrace. You will never find a clean table Jul. There's an infamous place called the lobby bar. we stayed for 2 weeks. Not once have we been able to sit down at an empty and clean table Jul. For once, a waiter came and didn't take our order. We were able to stand and wait in line in front of the bar and get our drink when our turn came. but 5 stars. you are in a 5-star queue environment.
Don't be fooled that big stars give concerts. There is a serious exposure to cigarette smoke in the concert environment. This is one of the lousy side hotels.
I will never go again, I will not pass in front of it, and I do not recommend it to anyone.
The hotel management will write a response to this comment from the fact that your complaints have been recorded, of course, but nothing will change.
Great hotel. I've been to this hotel with my family 11 times! 11 !!!! I think further comments are unnecessary. All my three children have been there every September since they were 8 months old. They perceive this hotel as our country cottage.
A very balanced hotel in terms of price/quality/facilities.
We have been coming here for 4 years in a row.
- cleaning. everything is OK. sometimes it happens mediocre, but if you leave a couple of bucks, everything will be fine with swans)
- the cuisine is decent and quite diverse. Moreover, I really like that you can eat at lunch near the beach. You can eat anywhere and at any time of the day.
- alcohol. Not all bars know how to make cocktails, but where they can, it's delicious. There is an imported alcohol, not just a local one.
- the beach. sand, good entrance to the sea, clean, excellent canopies (and not separate umbrellas)
- there is not much place to walk, this is exactly the beach option of the hotel.
- the staff is trained. Communication is polite and respectful. Again, I recommend leaving a small tip - for cleaning, in the restaurant. This further increases the degree of hospitality.
Hello everyone )👋
I hope my review will help someone)
We rest every year, in different countries, there is something to compare with)
There were 2 families, 4 adults and 2 children of 8 years old.
-> I'll say right away: there are a lot of children there, those who don't like children better look for another hotel!
In general, I liked everything 🥰
We stayed at this hotel from the end of July to the beginning of August 2023.
-The food is the sea of everything, delicious, you won't be hungry! Seafood seems to be given on Saturdays in the main restaurant (shrimp, crayfish, lobsters, etc.)
-The service is at a height, there were no problems, it was necessary to replace the room, because the windows looked out onto the courtyard where it was noisy (unloading loading) changed without problems.
The rooms are nice, cleaned every day, the bar in the room is free and replenished!
-Everything is fine on the territory, there is a lot of entertainment during the day, it will not be boring!
There are evening shows every day in the evenings, different artists come every time!everything is beautiful and not cheap!
Ice cream all day!
-There is an amusement park and a game area with vending machines and bowling, it's all paid!the children liked it )
-The sea Beach is clean, warm, there were a couple of times with waves, the entrance is sand, good. There is a raft, there is a pier, there is also a bar on the pier, there are not enough sunbeds at all on the pier, but we managed to occupy the sunbeds in the morning.
The beach itself is full of sunbeds, there will be no problems with this. There is also a bar on the beach.
Pay attention there are pools where houses, you can also go there and swim, there is a beautiful relaxation.
Pillow and Bed : Very comfortable
Room Air Conditioning : It Does not Hit the Face When Lying Down
Cleaning Mini Bar Towel Tracking: Successful
Room Service: Room or food service is poor, they arrive late.
Pool Cleaning: It is Done Regularly
Dishes: From Tas Kebab to Test Kebabina, from kokorec to kumpir, it is difficult to find food with this flavor and consistency even outside the health of the kitchen staff in a location where there are many options. Your milk desserts are fine, but you have to work a little harder when weaving the sorbet in your sorbet desserts, it makes the stomach uncomfortable.
Environment: Pleasant with its immaculate air intertwined with the Forest and the Sea.
Beverage service: There are fewer options than Delux.
For children: the green area is very good, the children run and play as they want, the children's club is good.
Service Personnel : They are interested and quick to successfully share space.
We stayed at this hotel in October 2024.
The sea is warm and clean
The food is monotonous every day, frozen fish from seafood, pizza in the pizzeria is not edible.
Rooms are for the non-pretentious.
The area is clean, you can take a walk.
In general, Tajiks and Kyrgyz will understand you, in other cafes the Turks do not make a mess.
Four with a pull over the sea.
The hotel is old and old. But very cool- sincere. We were a huge group there. Everyone was satisfied. If the cost is fixed, we will come again. A very cool kids club, attractions and a night restaurant.
The most important thing I want to say about the hotel is:
1. Lack of service as such.... Only in gest they solve issues somehow
2. the winter concept is not officially already started: there is no part of the promised
3. just ice pools, children's pools are even colder than adults
4. the outdoor playground for children (splash pad) is closed
5. playground for children without lighting
6. The evening animation ended with our arrival, then it was moved to the lobby
7. There is NO animation during the day! Animators do not communicate: they do not greet, they do not light up. Only water aerobics and darts....
8. Boredom in the evening!!! Everything is done so that you go to slot machines and spend money
9. Food..... the same thing every day.... What are breakfasts, what are lunches, what are dinners (((( milkshakes should be begged in a children's restaurant
10. The waiters in the main restaurant are great.
11. bartenders are just creepy((( they can't cook cocktails, there is no shaker, there is no bar card, there is one children's cocktail(((( alcohol is poured locally - you need to ask for the original, plus they are in no hurry at all
12. the cleaning in the rooms is good, the filling of the rooms is normal, the condition is also normal
13. the territory is beautiful, large, but terribly dirty, the garbage is barely cleaned((((
14. the beach is the best thing this hotel has, ideal for children. But also terribly dirty.....the tables are wiped with one rag, everyone walks in the morning, because of this they are dirty
15. the location of the hotel is close to longing, but it takes 30-40 minutes to walk along the beach and you are in Side. We went with our daughter. We had a great walk
12. Confectionery - one name! Only coffee, the buns are dry from the food!!!!
There is no food in the evening, my daughter wanted to eat after the show, we did not find anything.
There is no information on where and at what time to eat
At the end of the season, I do not advise him to give up the word at all....
Some Turks, Turkish music, yell and shout, in the gazebos in the hotel park they drink and scream until 2-4 in the morning
In general, we rested. Just the sea is a dream 💤
Unfortunately, the hotel does not build its own declared money.. we talked with many people of the same opinion)))
That's a good three, not a 5
Great hotel. According to the ultra system, everything is included. Drinks around the clock. It seems that the food is served non-stop, breakfast, brunch, snacks, cakes from grandmothers, dinner, late dinner.
For two weeks, there has never been a digestive disorder, and we were with a child of 6 years old)) A gentle approach to the sea. Sandy beach. Its own lunapark, a children's mini-town (like kidzania in Moscow), a mini club for children with a dozen babysitters. There are 5 swimming pools on the territory, one of them with children's slides, one with adults, one in the shade, one with access to the building. a separate children's area with sprinklers. A room with slot machines. Spa as usual.. 25min walk along the beach and you will get to the tourist area of Ancient Side. Ancient architecture, moored ships, restaurants, shopping streets.
Great hotel!
We had a family vacation in August.
The food is great -there is a lot of it and it is diverse.
The animation is on the level-we got to the performances of the stars.
The sea is super-the entrance is good!
The beach is clean and always tidy !
The territory is great!
Children's water park.
I will definitely come again )
We stayed at this hotel from July 22 to August 2. Plus the food, the beach, drinks, alcohol are all imported, minus only one, a lot of Turks come for the weekend and everything is focused on them : karaoke, animation, disco.
Overall good, great beach with sunsets. But, the Internet is bad, the food for such money is monotonous in my opinion, the slides for children are tired!
But, the sea alone is worth all the disadvantages
The room stock is dirty, mold is everywhere on the walls in the bathroom, someone's hair is behind a small mirror (makeup)
Bedside tables and drawers are glued together with glue and fall off if you open them..
Soap was poured only from the third request.
The soap was poured with an expired expiration date (they did not have time to throw out the package)
And the child is allergic!!
In general, there is no towel, no set of bathroom accessories, no glass for the child, and the bed was not made at the entrance.
Then I made the bed, and the rest was never brought for the whole vacation.
They showed us another room, it's the same there.
On the second day we went to a restaurant, and there they found a long metal wire in the soup of the child, like from a metal sponge (maybe not from it, but it looked like this)
(they showed the officer he was poor, apologized as best he could and ran into the kitchen)There was a fact, then the management denied it.
There was a case in a restaurant, we asked to be transferred to another table, we were reluctantly transferred (before that other people were sitting there), they removed their plates and brought us new plates and put them on a dirty table.I'm not a picky person, but there were pieces of salad and other food on the table, not just bread crumbs..When I showed it to them, she just brushed it on the floor with her hand and covered it with a napkin.
With the Turks, the attitude was different EVERYWHERE!!
Then I'll add photos to the review.
If you do not go into the room, forget about the cleanliness in the room and in the restaurants and the attitude..The hotel is not bad.
We couldn 't solve the problem with the air conditioner for three whole days . I will not recommend the hotel to anyone.
A tired hotel without renovation . There are a lot of cats in the foy and they stink of urine . I think you need to remove animals from the room , It 's enough outside . The territory is large . I was pleased with the pier bar . This year, tickets went up a lot, so it was expensive from Samara and as a result, the disappointment probably multiplied. Therefore, such an assessment . You need to renovate or you will lose a lot of customers from Russia.
Cool hotel! A large territory, which is important for us. Beautiful sloping beach. A large number of bars and restaurants. The kitchen is without frills, but quite acceptable. There are many swimming pools, attractions for children, a water park.
We returned from the hotel on October 7, a wonderful place, a very beautiful hotel, large and very comfortable! Amazing logistics, with so many people, everything is distributed very competently, there is always a place wherever you like) Very friendly staff, cleanliness, very interesting playgrounds for children, water park, luna park, the girls in the mini club are just adorable! The child attended everything with pleasure) . About the food... after reading the previous reviews, we were preparing not to overeat. But it didn't work out. The food is simple, but very tasty!! It was a bit of a pity that watermelons disappeared at the end of September. Thanks to the hotel for a wonderful stay and a great mood). The management of the hotel is excellent, we have something to compare it with, more than 10 times in Turkey..
Good alcohol, excellent sea, Russian-speaking staff, its own small amusement park for children. Of the disadvantages, the audibility between the numbers is 100%
The hotel itself is outdated - the rooms are tired, they pull a maximum of 4 points. With a minus. The tiles on the sidewalks are already peeling in places, the pools are clean, but they are also not the first freshness. The food is great, the area is huge. I do not recommend the water park, it is dirty, no one is watching how someone moves out. The beach is private, there are plenty of sunbeds, the pier is very good.
Overall, the impressions are chaotic. 10 years ago, this hotel was definitely top. Now it is no longer 5, but a maximum of 4 stars.
I wouldn't come here again.
High! Villas with river pools under the window, a wonderful table with a variety of dishes, many halls, a street of food, all inclusive, a wonderful sandy beach, full of sunbeds, clear sea, a disco on the beach in the evening. Pure pleasure

The hotel is large and comfortable. But there are some shortcomings. The first is that sometimes the centralized air conditioner does not work, and it gets hot (we have already seen this in other reviews of this hotel). The second is that the staff is not very friendly to Russians. There is a male employee who defiantly turns away when he hears a Russian speech. The third one is funny. We forgot to pick up our inflatable swimming toys by the pool. They were gone in the morning. And anyway, they disappeared. They weren't in the discovery room either. It's a small thing, but the reputation of the hotel is deteriorating because of this. I'm definitely not going there anymore. There is little greenery. There are many pools.
Perhaps the best hotel from the "inexpensive", there is an ultral, well, even imported alcohol is poured, it is well located: it takes 40 minutes to drive from Antalya International Airport, the city of Manavgat itself takes 10 minutes by minibus (1 €), the ruins of Side, as in the previous case, lovers of seal holidays will also come in. There is all possible entertainment on the territory, they feed everywhere and almost around the clock. They also pour everything and everywhere . However, nowadays there may be an inadequate price tag !
There is everything for recreation; anything. Just go to the hotel's website. I will be happy to return there again. There are a lot of bars, you can try the top 10 cocktails, for example, if you like. A beautiful wide beach with the best pier overlooking the sea. A 40-minute walk along the beach to the old town with many spectacular restaurants located right on the excavations of the ancient city. There is also an amphibian. Lunopark, slot machines, water park, children's club, animation. The children will definitely not be bored. Football and body fields. Superior rooms and villas with direct access to the pool. Great evening shows and a disco club on the beach, as well as live music in the lobby. The kitchen is beautiful.
The hotel is good, the territory is huge, there are plenty of sun beds, the food is delicious, the staff is not always attentive, the beach is clean, the entrance to the water is smooth, ideal for children
If you are a tobacco lover, then this is paradise for you. 90% of people smoke, both men and women, all in smoke and during dinners, and near the sea, near the pool and at the show. In other hotels, smoking areas are separated, but here the whole street is in smoke, the food is almost all spicy, although there is a huge restaurant and a large selection, fruits are mostly all under-ripe and there are few of them, coffee and sweets in the coffee shop are gorgeous, the staff is polite, the territory is beautiful and large, there is enough space for everyone, the sea is shallow. Well, I wouldn't come here anymore, unfortunately.
This is certainly not a luxury and not a high level, but there are many advantages:for families with children, a great mini club, an amusement park at the best prices (on average 100-150r carousel). Excellent sandy beach. Large territory, many pools. Different animation every evening. Kitchen for 4 people.
Favorite hotel .how many years have we been traveling .excellent service .the children 's zone and the aniia are at the highest level .also , the food is all fresh .lots of pools .delicious pastries and fruits .I want to go and relax again .to swim just the saiy season is October
Nice hotel. Maybe the foundation is a little old, but for me it was not the main thing. Nothing was falling off. But when you go out on the balcony, do not close the doors behind you, you will not enter the room yourself. The food is 10 plus, the service is one of the best, the territory is large, and there are always enough places on the beach and in yidelnakh! Have a rest!!!
Cleaning=0 I stayed for 7 days the bed sheet was never changed (although we said)
Food = 1 there is no food from 4 to 7 in the evening, there are only French fries, if we can catch it, we could catch it 1 time, only the food handles the flavor
It's definitely not worth giving that much money just for the concert, I've heard that the hotel in Belek is beautiful, that's what I'm saying for Side
Great hotel. I stayed there several times. Everything you need is there. Suitable for traveling with children. Not far from the old town - you can walk
An excellent hotel, although it is considered 5 stars, I would give 4 since the hotel was built in 2006 and there was no major renovation. In general, we rested with a small child for 4 years, there are many different activities for him

This is the best hotel in Side! Yes, it may not be new, but it's incredibly green, big and interesting! There is always something to do everywhere, this is not the first time I have visited this hotel, and I am sure that I will go again. The service and service in general are, as always, top– notch 👍🏻
We are currently relaxing at the hotel, the first impressions are great! Upon check-in, as many write negatively, they settled into a great room with a view of the pines and the sea, as well as the newlyweds decorated the room with a swan, flowers, brought a bouquet of roses, champagne with fruits. 5+ meals are fed 24/7, there is fish, chicken, beef, and a lot of salads, side dishes, a lot of fruits.There are a lot of imports for alcohol, Almeca, Jack Daniels, Chivas, Havana Club, Bayliss, Gene Gordons, but there is one joint, if you say whiskey cola, by default, local whiskey will be poured first, so you need to say, for example, Jack Daniels Cola and pour it without problems.The animation is somehow not impressive, all the activities are carried out by the pool, and no one calls anyone from the beach, but we did not come to hang out at the basik all the time.The evening shows of the program were interesting only the performance of Turkish acrobats, which was very impressive, as well as concerts of local stars from whom they escaped 5 minutes after the start, were not impressed.The disco also has all the songs in Turkish. The hotel has only an outlet nearby, there is nowhere else to walk, unlike, say, Kemer, where you can walk in every village. The city of Side is a 25-minute walk away, at the beginning of Side there is a huge Waqiki with a large selection of clothes. To summarize, the rest is going great, of course there are disadvantages, but where are they not? The hotel is a solid 5
A beautiful large hotel, a lot of entertainment, especially for children. Sea, sand, gentle descent. The alcohol is excellent, the food is good, although not very diverse. The rooms are a little tired, but decent. In short, the hotel is not bad.
We had a rest in October 2022.
Positive:
-excellent location, from the point of view of Side accessibility - 1.5 km to the city center on foot along the beach (although this is more for autumn, plus it is unlikely that it will be comfortable to walk in the heat in summer)
-a large territory, there is a place to walk, a good Playground with water, its own beach
-the food was generally satisfied, breakfast to a lesser extent (it seems that there is a choice, but everything is very tasteless, banal oatmeal, which is always and everywhere, was flakes in cold milk, signed at the same time as porridge), and lunches and dinners were good, there were seafood every other day and fish every day)
Disadvantages:
- we lived in room 4127. He went out to some kind of utility room, where every day, until 10-11 p.m., either stoves or air conditioners were noisy. At first I wanted to ask to move, but after reading the reviews and going around the hotel (some of the rooms overlook the neighboring hotel and the noise is 3 times stronger there and, apparently, does not stop at night), we decided not to do this, and we only came to the room to sleep, in general it was fine except for one night when judging by the sounds, they took out some kind of glass scrap and threw it into the car for two hours. Of course, it is outright piggishness on the part of the hotel to generally place auxiliary visits under the windows of the rooms (all rooms 4120-4130 and other floors + 2 cottages go there), and to carry out noisy work at night is generally beyond the bounds. I can't imagine how they live in rooms that overlook another hotel, they passed by, there was a very strong noise.
- it's funny to say, but my nightgown is missing from my room. There was nothing valuable in it, I don't think the maid stole it intentionally, most likely accidentally threw it with towels, but it's still very unpleasant. I lived in different hotels in different countries, but things never disappeared from the room (I couldn't believe it for a very long time, I searched the whole room). Cleaning and generally below average.
- They do not monitor the safety of the children's water park at all. Occasionally a lifeguard passed by and made some remarks, in a good way he should be there all the time, because only during the week of arrival I saw several childhood injuries
We stayed at the hotel from July 30 to August 6, 2023. As we wrote in previous reviews, the hotel territory is large, well-groomed, the beach is good sandy there is an entrance to the sea from the pantone there are a lot of sun beds both on the pantone and on the shore, you can always find free ones!!! The sea is the purest. The food is delicious, but monotonous without frills, I wanted more seafood. There are many different drinks. There are a lot of pools, and there are plenty of sun beds there too. And now about the cons: room cleaning leaves much to be desired. During the entire rest period, the floors were not wiped more than once, the sole of the slippers is very dirty. And the most important disadvantage is that when invited local pop stars perform in the amphitheater, locals from the city and us residents of the hotel come, the girls from the reception are driven from the tables with the words RESERVE, it turns out they paid for admission and for watching the film program, but we did not. Discrimination on the face.
We rested at this hotel from 07/29/29/2023 , there is no fault with entertainment, food, everything is at the highest level, but there is one very significant negative impression, Turkish families vacationing at this hotel (and most of them here) behave very negatively towards Russian tourists, this blurs the whole positive picture from the rest in this hotel! The hotel staff always stands up for "their own", in the flesh to the point that they can safely throw you off the sun loungers and transfer them to Turkish guests for use. There can be no question of any safety on vacation with a child. So, be prepared for such an attitude from the hotel staff.Don't set foot here anymore!!!
For this money, the hotel is great for children, there is a lot of entertainment every day and the day is scheduled until 0.00 am, I advise you we really liked it!!!!
Nice hotel, clean, good food, great selection
There are a lot of Russians, the attitude of the staff is polite.

Excellent hotel, not far from the center of Side. There are many Russian speakers among the staff. For food and drinks 5+. The only drawback: you have to be very careful with the balcony door in the room, if you slam it from the outside, you will not get inside.
This is the most disgusting place I've been to. There is nothing else to cling to except the sea. Dirty, old, the territory is not well maintained, half of the trees are half dead, the service does not even pull 3 stars, the attitude towards people is boorish. There are 4 rows of sun beds by the pool, people are stuck like herrings in a barrel.In a 5-star hotel, the rooms have nets on the windows instead of curtains and the staff assures that this is the norm. There will be time, I will describe in more detail all the "joys" of rest here.
We rested for a week in early September, for the first time we were on ultra all inclusive and in such a large hotel.
There were no disadvantages, except that "too few days of rest" 😉
Number: the travel agent wrote a request for check-in, as a result, they gave a huge room with 1 double and 2 single beds. There were three of us - me, my husband and my 5-year-old son. Mattresses and pillows are a bit harsh, but it didn't stop us from falling asleep and getting enough sleep. The balcony overlooked the courtyard and sideways to the sea, the 5th floor was given, audibility was from the corridor, but very rarely anyone passed there.
WiFi: the hotel has routers every three meters! The only place where the Internet was catching intermittently was closer to the edge of the canopies on the beach. I think it's just super affordable Internet) A big plus is that the network is open! That is, if you are in the territory of the Wi-Fi coverage area, then you are a guest of the hotel, connect.
Cleaning: we swept the floor daily, folded the bedspreads with figurines, changed the towels and arranged our things a little. The mini-bar was replenished regularly.
Food is just an endless stream for almost 24 hours. We arrived late, stopped by at 3 a.m., went to eat - from 1:00 to 7:00 there is a duty meal in the main restaurant (vegetables, fruits, cheese, sausage, coffee, tea, bread). The breakfasts are varied, although the same, but the choice is large. Lunch can be chosen on the food court street, there is a sparsely populated cafe by the beach (they cook shawarma nearby), there are Turkish tortillas. I was pleasantly pleased with quite tasty rolls, my son dined with them all his vacation. From a particularly memorable meal for dinner: honey in honeycombs, paella with seafood and also just a roast of them (squid, mussels, shrimp), sugar watermelon, incredibly tender baked turkey and chickens.
The waiters are very nimble, many guys from Kyrgyzstan who speak fluent Russian worked on our vacation. The tables are quickly cleaned and served anew, they try to have time to offer drinks + bring them at dinner.
Bars and drinks from there are really a natural phenomenon, I poured one of the 3 mojitos into the toilet, made bitter, the other 2 times are very tasty! Someone clarifies if I'm asking for an alcoholic cocktail, someone immediately poured a non-alcoholic one. But in general, bartenders work actively, they listen to requests.
The beach is just an ideal parameter of the hotel. It is cleaned, sand is rammed, there are many canopies on it, free sun beds were always found, 1 or 2 rows from the sea👌
There is a large pier with sun beds and a bar, we went to it only to swim closer to the pontoon, to swing on the waves.
Pools and water parks: for some reason they are more popular with people than the sea, so it was difficult to find a sunbed there to sit.
We swam in the pools once, rode in the water parks both for children and adults, on the first day we ran on the water playground. I liked it everywhere, great ways to spend time.
Activities on land for children: children's club, children's city of professions (paid), lunapark (paid), playground. The children's club was used with pleasure, the son was satisfied, almost every day there were activities in the afternoon (rocket launch, parrot show, quest, tent camp). There have always been 1-2 girls who speak Russian fluently. A separate thrill - parents can hang out at the disco while the child is in the kids club, he works until midnight! We drove cars in the luna park for 2 euros.
Activities on land for adults: very diverse, almost everything has been tried in a week, you will definitely not get bored there! Not all animators speak Russian, but English is also suitable for us.
Evening shows: we caught 3 (the Aladdin show, the Lunar Circus show and the Mirage show), another 1 evening there was a performance by a Turkish singer, listened for a minute and left. But the shows were very cool!!! High-quality performances by professionals - dancing, acrobatics, gymnastics 🔥
The territory of the hotel is steep, well-groomed, lots of flowers and trees, there is a place to walk (in the evening it is very cozy to wander in the villa area with pools). In addition, the hotel is half an hour along the beach at a slow pace to the ancient city of Side. We walked there with pleasure.
Contingent: Turks are the most, there are quite a lot of Russians, there are Poles, Germans. Almost all with children!
As a result: a great hotel, we would love to go there a second time.
