The hotel was chosen based on the price-quality ratio and reviews. Reviews on the Internet about the Side Alegria Hotel & Spa 5 * are contradictory, but given the most reasonable price among analogues, we decided to take a chance... and in the end, we do not regret anything.
Our check-in was after lunch, in the late afternoon. Settled quickly, in a room overlooking the city on the 5th floor. They offered to pay 60 dollars for a room with a sea view, but we refused (we went to the sea every day anyway, in addition, you can admire it from the corridor and the elevator).
The territory of the hotel is small, everything that is on the territory corresponds to the description on the Internet.
At the beginning it was difficult to connect to the Internet, but when I succeeded, it turned out that the Wi-Fi caught very well in the room, it worked without interruptions. Everything in the room and on site is clean and well maintained. The maids cleaned regularly at our request (we hung a sign on the handle and left 1 dollar). By the way, if you don’t hang a “do not disturb” sign on the handle, they themselves went into the room and asked if cleaning was needed, however, before that they knocked.
The room has a kettle mini bar, which is updated during cleaning. There is coffee, dry cream for coffee, tea, sugar, water. In the bathroom there were two towels for hands, bath and one for feet, as well as soap, shower gels, body lotions and hair balms (2 bottles each), toilet paper. Toilet paper was regularly replenished, but the rest was not. You need to take shampoo with you, because they don’t have shampoos for some reason. There is a hair dryer, but it is rather weak and not very convenient.
Our tour fell on the period of forest fires in Turkey. They did not interfere with rest, but there were problems with electricity in the city. At the hotel, during dinner, the lights once went out, but after a few seconds, the generators were turned on and everything worked again, including air conditioners.
All the staff are polite, pleasant, always smiling, but they explain themselves in Russian rather poorly... but they still understand what you want from them).
The beach is 5 minutes walk down the road. It seems to be pedestrian, but cars and buses drive periodically. The beach can be reached by the hotel bus, which runs according to the schedule. This is true for the elderly, and it’s easier for everyone else to walk than to adapt to this transfer. The beach is large, sandy and clean. Sunbeds, mattresses for sunbeds and towels are provided by the hotel. To change a beach towel, you need to pay 1 euro, or use the towel issued for the entire period (we did not change beach towels, we just dried them on the balcony). Entry into the sea is gradual, very comfortable. On the beach there is a bar with free drinks, water and beer, where you can also dine.
The food is excellent in my opinion. Many dishes - meat (chicken, beef, turkey and lamb), fish, all kinds of side dishes, vegetables, pickled vegetables, cheeses, sausages (though only boiled), bakery products, fruits, sweets, sauces, salads... Everything is delicious and OK.
The hotel has a wonderful "chip". . . cats, cats and kittens live in the backyard. They have a house, bowls with food and food. Animals are not afraid of people, but at the same time they are not too contact, they are not particularly suitable and are not given into hands. It was very pleasant and touching to watch them).
Despite the fact that we rested at the peak of the season, the guests do not interfere with each other, there is enough space for everyone. In the evening, however, queues form in the lobby bar, but the bartenders work quickly, you don’t have to stand for a long time.
There are four small cons. First: every day in the restaurant, the dishes are about the same, although they try to diversify the menu. Second: signs are not always placed near the dishes, so it may not be clear what they are offering. The third minus: the restaurant, the bar with alcoholic drinks and the bar with sweets are located in different rooms, which is not very convenient. And the fourth is animation (we went 3 times). We got to amateur performances in the form of karaoke and song and dance competitions. Well, this... for an amateur. However, these disadvantages are minor and do not spoil a good impression.

The room was supposed to be overlooking the garden, they gave room 519.3rd floor, with a view of the mountains, hotels and the road, we were not going to change, the sun is only in the morning, cars do not drive, they fell into the lockdown period, in principle, the norms.

We arrived at the hotel at six in the morning. Check-in was fast and without any extra charges. We didn't wait until 2pm. The first impression was pleasant, but not long. After reading the reviews for 5 stars were not prepared. The room was supposed to be overlooking the garden, they gave room 519.3rd floor, with a view of the mountains, hotels and the road, we were not going to change, the sun is only in the morning, cars do not drive, they fell into the lockdown period, in principle, the norms. We looked around, decided to rest after the road and before breakfast. Here we were waiting for the Surprise!! ! On the decorative pillow that was lying on the bed, some kind of insect was crawling !! ! KAPETS! THIS IS BUGS! I know what they look like, it's a nightmare!! ! Naturally, the photo and video was taken instantly. In seconds, they had time to bite. We, as cultured people, did not shout or quarrel. At the reception they looked surprised and gave the keys to another room. And then another surprise! We go into the room, and people live there! Actually a jerk!
Again at the reception they made a surprised look. They gave a new room, in which everything was turned upside down when viewed for the presence of bedbugs, they are not. Oh Gods! You can rest! The rooms have: kettle, tea, coffee, sugar, disposable cups, air conditioning. In the bathroom: soap, shampoos, hair conditioner, gel, body lotion, hair dryer (very tired), 2 hand towels, 2 bath towels, 1 foot towel. Cleaning every day, even with a dollar or without. Towels and sheets were changed with every cleaning and replenished with coffee, tea and bathroom amenities. Of course, the dust was not well wiped off. The hotel is not small, but the territory is small, +16, no children. Many people from Europe, of different ages. In terms of peace and quiet, everything suited us. Because of the lockdown and Ramadan, there was no entertainment. Beach towels are issued, but each replacement is a paid service)). So that there are no misunderstandings, take a paid safe for $ 2 per day and sleep, walk calmly.
Check-out at 12:00. We had a late flight, we paid $20 until 16:00, had lunch and rested.
2. Nutrition.
We are not in the fruit season and I will repeat during the lockdown period.
We were fed three times a day, which was enough for us.
For breakfast: scrambled eggs, scrambled eggs with vegetables, boiled eggs, tomatoes, cucumbers, olives, greens, puff pastry with cheese, various cheeses, coffee, juices, bread, butter, oranges, apples, quinces, once there were pears.
For lunch and dinner:
One kind of the first, in the form of puree soup. Lentil soup, pickle soup, they gave some kind of white soup like cheese, but sour and not tasty. Vegetables, salads from them, greens, there were even green "barrel" tomatoes and pickles, yogurt for salad dressing, hummus. From lamb meat cutlets, chicken skewers, chicken chops, stewed or fried chicken, stewed beef with mushrooms, lula, spaghetti, rice, foil potatoes, french fries, bulgur. One type of fish, delicious. Desserts in assortment. Everything was delicious, we didn't go hungry.
3. Alcohol.
The beer is very tasty, but it seems that it is non-alcoholic. The wine is white, rose and red, of course not great, but you can drink it. In the bar, gin and whiskey, vodka, wine, tea, coffee, cola, juices (drinks), if natural fresh juice for $ 1. Ice cream two scoops for $1, very tasty.
4. Beach and pool.
Sunbeds, mattresses and awnings from the sun are present. The bar was from 10 to 16 and even with a break, without snacks. Beer, tea, coffee and water. After walking along the promenade, we realized that our beach is the cleanest. There were practically no people, a lot of hotels were closed. The sea is shallow, you need to walk to the depth. There are practically no pitfalls, near other hotels they even warn that there are stones. The water temperature was 20 degrees, you can swim. The air temperature is 24-27 degrees, it is windy because of this, it is a little uncomfortable.
Pools: one near the restaurant, the second on the territory, with slides. There are two slides, so-so, but they worked. The pools are clean and there is no chlorine smell.
Outcome
Everything would be nice, but the bugs spoiled the whole mood and impression.

Chose the hotel based on price / quality. We understood all the risks associated with the introduction of quarantine. Not the first time in Turkey. Judging by the reviews, they understood that at best 4 *. Arriving after lunch, we were quickly settled in the main building without any additional payments, since there were very few people, mostly Germans, Balts, Poles.

Judging by the reviews, they understood that at best 4 *. Arriving after lunch, we were quickly settled in the main building without any additional payments, since there were very few people, mostly Germans, Balts, Poles. The room is clean, a few bugs, but nothing critical. Since we are not picky, in principle, everything suited, even despite: the food is monotonous, every day, but the meat, beef and chicken in several forms, was every day, fish too; alcohol of a certain type, with periodic constancy, ended, of the bars, only the lobby normally works, the beach one at will “when you wanted - came, what time you wanted - left”, all the rest did not work; to the beach on the sea to go 200 meters, not critical, you have to go somewhere (although it would not be very easy for older people to go back up the hill), the bus did not go; there was no animation at all.
Since we are used to arranging rest for ourselves, we didn’t really bother with these little things and enjoyed the rest. But trouble still found us. On the last evening, having gathered for departure, we went out to the restaurant for dinner for half an hour, the only time forgetting the purse with documents and money in the room. Having returned and not noticing any changes, they went to rest, since the check-out was early at 3:00, asking at the reception to wake up at 2:30. There was no call, it was good that my wife set the alarm clock, we were not late. Arriving at the airport of Antalya, when calculating at Duty Free, they found that half of the cash of $ 350 was missing. In general, I know they are to blame, but the sediment remained. I do not recommend this hotel, or be always vigilant! All the best!

Both of them rested. Room on the third floor, overlooking the road. Cleaning daily without comment. The staff is friendly. But the restaurant often lines up queues. Due to the fact that in connection with the coronavirus, only restaurant employees put food on plates. The food is quite varied. You definitely won't go hungry.

Due to the fact that in connection with the coronavirus, only restaurant employees put food on plates. The food is quite varied. You definitely won't go hungry. It goes well with fruits and sweets. The sea is not far from the main building, the sea and the beach are clean. Only the road to the sea clearly requires good cleaning. The most important advantage of the hotel is the absence of small children. In general, a good holiday. But the hotel clearly does not pull on the top five.

I say right away that I was vacationing in Turkey for the first time. I rested with my sister, we chose this hotel because of the suitable price, and we were very attracted that the hotel is 16+ and there are no children there. We arrived at the hotel somewhere around 5 o'clock in the afternoon, they immediately began to make out we were settled in a bungalow instead of a room in Anex, they offered to settle in the main building for an additional fee of $ 70.

I say right away that I was vacationing in Turkey for the first time. I rested with my sister, we chose this hotel because of the suitable price, and we were very attracted that the hotel is 16+ and there are no children there.
We arrived at the hotel somewhere around 5 o'clock in the afternoon, they immediately began to make out we were settled in a bungalow instead of a room in Anex, they offered to settle in the main building for an additional fee of $ 70. We of course refused. In the bungalow, we were very upset by the presence of mold on the walls and in the bathroom in the shower. It can be seen that the room is “tired”, but this is not the fault of the hotel, but of tourists who think that you can behave in a hotel that is not very cultural. The room was cleaned every day, towels are always clean. From the cosmetics in the shower there was liquid soap and shower gel. A very inconvenient hair dryer, so that it works all the time you need to hold the button, as soon as it is released, the hair dryer turns off.
From the bungalow to go to the beach is not far at all, 2 minutes and immediately the beach. There were always enough sun loungers for everyone, there are also enough mattresses. The minus of the beach is again in the tourists who threw cigarettes and bottles under their feet. From neighboring hotels on the beach there were children and there were a lot of them. The beach is sand, the bottom of the sea is sand. In some places in the sea at the bottom there are large stones that you can hit or even injure your legs, but in two days I learned where these stones were and simply bypassed them, there are not many of them!
From the beach to the main building, go uphill for 5-7 minutes. The main building is very beautiful, always a pleasant smell, very comfortable chairs. The Internet is free, it did not always work well, but it worked, every evening I could talk via video link, but the Internet is only in the main building, it is not in the bungalow. The bar serves delicious cocktails, but not much alcohol.
Those who complained about the food, I don’t understand you... there was always a lot of food and for different tastes. Chicken and lamb meatballs were every day. Very often there was turkey, beef, river trout. Various side dishes, salads, sauces. You can find food for every taste. I liked the desserts very much, everything is really tasty, a big bow to the kitchen!
Near the pool, I often did not go to the sea, but the pool is always clean, there were also enough sun loungers for everyone.
Hotel staff: a special thank you to everyone! All the guys are very nice, always smiling, sociable. The staff is very nice, they did their job quickly and efficiently.
And one more plus for me personally, because I love animals very much. There are a lot of cats, for them on the territory of the hotel there is a house and plates with food and water, for me it is very nice! Special thanks to the hotel for taking care of animals.
The hotel is good, but I will not return there.

The hotel is located near the sea, the road takes no more than 5 minutes. The beach is very beautiful! For the comfort of vacationers, a sufficient number of sunbeds are offered. There are also many shops near the hotel, I liked them very much. The territory of the hotel is nice, there are two swimming pools, there is a bar near them and music is always playing. Beautiful spa, I recommend to visit and enjoy. I also liked the room, it has air conditioning, a TV, a refrigerator and a tea set, there is a wardrobe for clothes. Our kitchen is great! Tasty and in principle a lot of positions.

Cheeses, eggs, olives, greens, apples, strawberries, cakes, various meats, vegetables, stewed, steamed, grilled, etc. (there was a diet table as well) there were a lot of snacks in short. Thanks to the chef and chefs. Delicious cooking!
The room was cleaned every day. And generally clean.
The reception has beautiful chairs and tables. You could sit with a glass of wine or beer. Also served by a waiter.
Disco, performances, animation are cool. Until 23.00 on the street and then whoever wanted to, then continued in a specially made disco cafe in the hotel.
The sea in Side is good. But it was too small for us. But super for children. Sand.
The beach is private from the hotel. Go to the beach for 10 minutes along a straight road a little to the bottom. There is a cafe on the beach where you can dine without leaving the beach. (But only without cakes : )))
There were enough beds for everyone.
For all vacationers in Side.
You can go for a whole day on an excursion to the old town of Side. By minibus 10 min. From the final stop of the minibus (where you get to) a free bus runs to the center of the old city. You can walk for about 15 minutes. Entrance to the city is free. It's very cool and beautiful. Photos will be great! There are streets with cafes, shops, a beautiful embankment with yachts. Only in the ancient theater if you want to get an entrance like 10 dollars.
Again about the hotel. Settled and evicted without problems and additional payments. The staff is super. Cultural, smile, greet.
Have a great vacation everyone!

Disgusting reception
I’ll tell you from the very beginning: they flew to extend the New Year holidays from 01/12/17/19, the flight was delayed by 50 minutes, due to a strong headwind, the travel time increased by 1 hour and 20 minutes, as a result, 5.5 hours flew. transfer to the hotel for another 1.5 hours. Upon arrival, we were tired and hungry and found out that we would be placed in a neighboring building, since the room we had paid for was located there. The tour company didn't tell us about it. It was raining heavily outside. We were taken out of the main building, waved to the opposite side of the road and told to go there. To our logical question where exactly (there were several buildings), we received the same answer - there. Having crossed the road and getting wet to the skin, we began to look for this damn building and the entrance to it. Our searches were unsuccessful. I was left wet under the roof to wait for my husband who went for help. He led out of the hotel the one who waved his hand indicating the direction. This bastard took an umbrella and ran in my direction under it, and my husband continued to get wet, he was not offered an umbrella. We were led to the corps. As you might guess, you need to go around the building, open the gate, go to the glass compartment doors and attach the key like from an intercom. The building is very dark. Also a room on the very top floor in the very corner. Well, how would we find it all ourselves, at night in the rain? The room is small, the beds are two pushed together and not one whole, and, given that the building does not have one of the walls (the hall, as it were, on the street), it is very ventilated and very cold. This type of room is called Anex room. Maybe in the summer it's nothing but in the winter... Do not take it in any case! To our request to be moved to the main one for an extra charge, we were told that they did not understand us and that we would decide everything with the guide tomorrow. The night was turned over. . . The next day, thanks to the guide, we were moved to the main building overlooking the sea for $30. As it turned out that they have single beds in all rooms, they are simply shifted. Everything is clean, there are a lot of towels, our TV channels show. Otherwise, everything was not bad: the usual food was enough; local alcohol, badyazhat, it's not so scary anymore; sauna, hammam and indoor pool free of charge. Aerobics in the pool. After lunch, darts competition. You can take a game of backgammon in the lobby. Billiards is paid. To the sea 250 m along the paving stones from the hill (I would not go in the summer). Entertainment in the evenings is so-so. The hotel has no territory, only pools and slides. Can't and can't recommend. Tip: carefully look at what you buy, do not hesitate to clarify the terms.

We were at the SIDE ALEGRIA HOTEL & SPA 5 * from October 13 to October 22.2018, a family of 3 people, husband, wife, daughter 16 years old, arrived in the morning, check-in as usual, had breakfast in almost all hotels at 14, looked around, as I I ordered the cheapest option, I already knew that I would live in a bungalow across the road, but so that this does not come as a surprise to you, see what is written in your hotel voucher.

We were at the SIDE ALEGRIA HOTEL & SPA 5 * from October 13 to October 22.2018, a family of 3 people, husband, wife, daughter 16 years old, arrived in the morning, check-in as usual, had breakfast in almost all hotels at 14, looked around, as I I ordered the cheapest option, I already knew that I would live in a bungalow across the road, but so that this does not come as a surprise to you, see what is written in your hotel voucher. The type of room is clearly indicated in the voucher and if it is an Annex Room, then this is about what is said above and it is not standard and not sea view. Sea view and standard when pre-ordering is much more expensive than agreeing at the hotel, at the hotel it will be about 10-30 bucks, through the site in advance from 50 and above, so see for yourself. This is about accommodation. Plus, the bungalow where we were settled, these are two separate rooms, the child was happy, minus this is the passage across the road, although with not very active traffic.
Now for the overall feel of the hotel. The first impression when we arrived at the hotel was that we ended up in a boarding house, grandparents around, the hotel, frankly, is not for children, but for such a calm, measured rest. Also, this impression is enhanced by the absence of any animation, no, it seems to be there, but in fact it is only an evening show, as it were. You can’t find a drive, there is a disco on the beach at night, but after 23 a drink is paid.
The attendants are quite friendly, If we take the fact that when buying a ticket we pay for accommodation and meals, then we generally should not see the servants except in the bar, and in the bar he should pour you what you want and in general everything, but a good attitude towards you, so it depends only on you, do not go out of line, do not show hostility, do not breathe fumes and voila, a smile will appear on both them and you. True, I had to face non-professionalism in the bar on the beach, a young waiter came up to replace a more experienced one, and began to pour beer not along the edge of the tilted glass, but straight from the top, while pouring 90% of the foam, this became very clearly visible after pouring like this in a way, he quickly put a few glasses of beer on the counter with a satisfied look, they say what a fine fellow I am and began to wait for the people to sort it out, but at that moment there weren’t really many people and the foam settled showing the dishes filled somewhere by a third, and where even less . But this is so funny. The pluses or minuses of the hotel include the concern of the male part of the servants, my wife and I went to the beach at different times, I came early as a lark, she was an owl, she came up later, and every day I faced obsessive signs of southern attention, for me this is clearly a minus, for I'm sure of my wife too, but for single girls, maybe nothing would even seem like a plus. As for the cleaning in the rooms: it’s definitely there, I myself saw a vacuum cleaner and wiping furniture, but all the cleaning goes to waste after coming from the sea, the beach is sandy, no matter how you shake out the sand, it’s everywhere, I’m a young man, but the sand was falling off me from everywhere and the floors were constantly covered in dust, and so were the bedding. Everything seems to be here.
Beach. The beach is a real dream of a child, you can’t skin your legs, the sea is quite shallow, sunbeds are installed about fifty meters from the surf line, i. e. running, jumping, and just walking along the sea is just nice, and by the way, about a kilometer to the right along the beach there is a river with swans. Towels are issued once, if they are very dirty, they change for a dollar (they also have a crisis). There are always free sunbeds, there are not always free sunbeds that are right for you, when I came at any time I found a place for myself, I’m just not picky, my wife came a little later and said that there were no places at all, as a last resort, if you really need this a place and not some other place, come in the morning and take it, but take towels for yourself, just saw the picture two people came, put towels on two sunbeds, then took off their caps, glasses, and scattered it on neighboring sunbeds for all family friends, this I think it's bad manners. Dined also on the beach as the menu was very similar to the main restaurant.
The road to the beach requires a separate paragraph, for me it was a great help in the matter of fat burning, the length of about 300 meters was marked by a pedometer, after walking there five times already you can not go to the gym, and if you still polish the charm in the sauna and hamamchik, but not without minuses, of course, the road, let’s say not Broadway, is a simple single-track, and buses that carry tourists from hotels to the sea rush along it, the traffic is normal, you have to cuddle up to the bushes, it doesn’t seem to be particularly annoying, but I didn’t envy the drunks that he throws from side to side, generally dangerous. And so the path, even with its own color in the form of cats, there are probably 10 of them, tourists like to feed them, but the cats didn’t really like what they were fed.
Nutrition. Everything is simple here, if you are not waiting for papaya with passion fruit and quail stuffed with pineapple, then nothing will upset you here, potatoes, pasta, combined with lamb cutlets, and chicken pieces, well, this is in general, with some additions, with ordinary vegetables such as tomatoes, cucumbers, and the same ordinary fruits, such as grapes, apples, pears, were, in my opinion, tangerines, oranges and plums. In general, the optimal combination of proteins, fats and carbohydrates, eat less on vacation, move more and the figure will pleasantly surprise you upon arrival.
As for the Turks, they are now trying to make money on everything, even on such a trifle as extending the time of stay in the room, we left the hotel at 17-20 came up in a day to find out how much it would cost to extend it to 17 hours, the answer was this, we will extend the check-out time from 12 to 18 for 20 dollars, the next day I come to pay in the morning, and the receptionist changed, I have the same question, how much until 18 o’clock, this friend had a price tag of 40 bucks, I was indignant that the price had risen by 20 bucks overnight, and he not indignantly want to take up to 16 for 20, and up to 18 for 40 and a smile (curtain). In general, our guide was standing at the same time, she just shrugged her shoulders, Crisis, however.
To summarize, the hotel is not for relaxing in the hotel itself, but for living and feeding, there is no territory as such, I liked it solely because I know where to put my free time (walk around the sea, around the city, read a book, listen to the sound of waves in the evening ) all the negative people have on vacation from idleness and bust with food, some have a hangover, but this is my personal opinion.

We chose this hotel because it is not far from the sea, there is sand on the beach and a gentle entrance. This was important since we have a child. The food is not ultra, but normal. There are no complaints about the numbers. When we arrived, our room was not ready, we were settled for one day in another family room, the next day they moved to our room.

Not far from the hotel everything was within walking distance: shops, cafes and restaurants. The territory of Side is one big solid store, you can take a minibus to a huge supermarket. The territory is quite compact, there are several pools, there is almost no park area, but we were not interested, the main thing is that there was a private beach 200 meters away. The hotel had a guide, he offered us excursions, but since we didn’t have much time to relax, we decided not to waste time on trips, but rested at sea.
