We chose a hotel for a holiday with a child for a long time, in the end we settled on Adalya Art Side, but the hotel did not live up to expectations. Positive reviews and decent photos are just a beautiful facade. But we are not the first time in Turkey and are quite loyal to hotel food, shabby furniture and location, but what we can’t stand is smoking. In this hotel, both old and young smoked almost everywhere.
Basically, the contingent is German and Russian tourists, but the majority of Germans. So, here's about smoking: they smoke on the terrace near the main restaurant, near the pool, and of course, on the balconies of the rooms. It seems that you came to relax with your child, breathe in the sea air, but in the end you breathe cigarette smoke. The main restaurant has a non-smoking area, but through the open doors, of course, everything pulls inward. With a child, they were constantly looking for a place to sit, so that it would be both beautiful and you could breathe normally. The most beautiful area on the terrace is always occupied by smokers.
Food is standard for Turkey. For a 4-year-old child, the choice is small, especially if you are used to homemade food: fresh, tasteless cereals for breakfast, chemical sausages, french fries, mashed potatoes, rice, unsalted spaghetti and stewed beef. The rest of the dishes are full of spices. There were vegetables, fruits, a lot of pastries for breakfast (quite tasty), desserts.

From the beach - 3-5 minutes at a slow pace. The sea is warm, the entrance is gentle, sand. Near the shore, because of the waves, the water becomes dirty.
Of the pluses, I can note the work of the staff at the reception and in the restaurant. They helped us promptly (changed the room, rented a car).
In general, I do not recommend this hotel if you are traveling with small children, and also if you have high expectations for 5 star hotels. It's not a 5, of course. Mediocre 4k at best.
