FOREWORD / REASON FOR CHOOSING A HOTEL:
Rested in this hotel for the first time since 07.07. 2019 to 20.07. 2019 as follows: 2 adults and a child 8 years old. In general, this is our 6th visit to hotels on the Antalya coast of Turkey: July 2014. - "March of Peace 5 *" (Kemer, Tekirova), September 2015. - "Euphoria of Tekirov 5 *" (Kemer, Tekirova), end of August-September 2016. - "Gunpowder Hemer 5 *" (Side, Kyumkoy), June 2017. , July 2018 - TUI Magic Life Waterword 5 * (Belek Center). You can read all my reviews of the above hotels on this online resource.
We chose the hotel "Ali Bay Resort" in Sid based on personal preferences: according to reviews and recommendations - a wide sandy beach, gentle and sandy sunset, beautiful and very green area of the hotel, decent service and food. For the Ukrainian market, the hotel now sells exclusively Coral Travel. In general, the chain of hotels "Ali Bay" in Sidi includes 3 hotels: "Ali Bay Resort", "Ali Bay Park", "Ali Bay Club".
Ali Bay Resort Hotel is always higher in the price segment. It is no secret that the owner of this chain, as well as the Turkish hotel chain Gural (in Belec-center and Tekirova, Kemer), is a Turkish businessman Ali Gural and his 2 sons. According to recent conversations, one son runs three of these hotels in Sid, and the other manages two hotels in the Gural chain - the Gural Premium Tekirova in Kemer and the Premier Gural Club in Belek. The Gural hotel chain is in a higher price segment than the Ali Bay hotel chain in Sidi. Hotels of these chains are built in the Turkish style.
WORK OF UIA:
Our flight in both directions was without delays and with a soft landing. It is positive that 24 hours before departure you can register on the airline's website, but seats are sent automatically, without the possibility of pre-selection. The choice of certain places is paid.
Minus - terrible coffee on board the plane, well, of course, all food is paid.
Drinks on board include Morshynska still water, tea and coffee. Other drinks are paid.
WORK OF TOUR OPERATOR "CORAL" AND THE HOST PARTY "ODEON":
No complaints. Promised "Elite Transfer" with a maximum of 2 hotels on the road and fully fulfilled this promise. We were taken first to the Ali Bay Resort, and the rest of the bus was taken away. The stop was short. The guide on the bus said everything in the case, without imposing subjective opinion.
I want to mention the guide at the Sabina Hotel. Very nice girl, smart and sociable. At the first meeting, she not only talked about excursions, as is often the case in other hotels, but also shared information about dolmus, plying to Side Center, Manavgat, information about the region, pharmacies, shops and more.
In addition, Sabina gave her cell phone number, and Viber was interested in the quality of our holiday. I wish her good health, well-being and prosperity!
On the way back we bought an individual transfer from Coral / Odeon. Everything is on time. Very nice driver, nice spacious car.
WORK OF HOTEL RECEPTION:
Overall good. We arrived at the hotel in the morning, much earlier than 14.00 - the official time of check-in. Reception manager Abdul spoke to the man in German. Although, I understand that he is a little Russian. We really wanted to settle in 5 or 6 buildings on the 2nd floor, which we wrote to the hotel in advance and told the manager personally. Abdul opened the map of the hotel and showed us building 8, because he said that the hotel was full and there were no other deluxe rooms available, promising that it was not far between the buildings and arguing that building 8 was quieter than buildings 5 and 6.
In the 8th building, he offered us to stay in room 822 on the 2nd floor and not wait for 14.00. We agreed without hesitation and immediately took us to the minicar in the room.
The room turned out to be good, so thank you Abdul for the early universe. Later, I can say that there are rooms in the 5th building, which are really noisy. Nearby is the main restaurant, hoods, etc. We personally, due to the early arrival, were not treated to cocktails and Turkish delight at the reception, but we did not need them. A compliment in the form of a bottle of Turkish champagne and a plate of fruit was delivered to the room immediately.
Optional: install a refrigerator with drinking water and possibly bottled drinks at the reception. I understand that the reception of this hotel is trying not to marinate their guests waiting for rooms until the victorious end, to move in if possible on arrival, but still it would be nice if this refrigerator was still there.
WORK OF THE GUEST RELATIONSHIP OF THE HOTEL:
Wonderful.
Russian-speaking manager Kateryna is on the guest relations. Operational work. No complaints.
We applied several times and all our requests were fulfilled in full: and about the electronics of the safe, and about the extra sheets in the room, and other minor issues. It is clear that the guest relay is interested in the comfortable stay of guests in the hotel and is concerned about the reputation.
CONTINGENT REST:
Germans, British, Turks, Ukrainians, Poles, Hungarians, Russians. Everything is mostly with children of different ages. I saw very young children on the beach. The hotel does not have bracelets. It is convenient. On the day of departure, the all-inclusive system works without problems. There were no differences between the people in the hotel, everything was peaceful, quiet and calm.
HOTEL AREA:
As stated on all tourist sites, the hotel is really built in the old Turkish style of Istanbul's 3-storey mansions "Yali".
Personally, my opinion is a great design and a great architectural solution. That is, everyone lives in this hotel in the Holiday Village (HV-1).
Most of the buildings at the entrance do not live, but there is a reception and administration. Good lighting of all buildings, including balconies, in the evening. Approximately at 23.00 the lights on the balcony automatically turn off. The area of the hotel is 12.000 square meters. m. Hotel opened in 2010, but in 2017 was renovated. . The hotel has only 12 buildings, 429 rooms. Located on the east coast of Side, in fact in the village of Sorgun, the hotel is located on the waterfront, 65 km from Antalya Airport, 1 km from Side and 2 km from Manavgat. On the territory there is a conference hall, currency exchange, shops, hairdresser (paid), doctor's services (paid), laundry (paid), parking (free), car rental (paid).
Territory The hotel area is beautiful. Very green, well-groomed, luxurious.
You just have to see her once to fall in love and remember her warmly for a long time.
Relaxing earlier in the very green hotels of Kemer, Belek and being in this hotel, you realize that the area does not lose anything, but on the contrary, surprises with its thoughtfulness. It captures, delights and captivates with its zoning, comfort and landscaping. Absolutely not hot to walk. The way from the room to the beach is very comfortable. There is a small river on the territory, but it does not cause any discomfort at all. Gardeners are constantly working: pruning something, digging something, taking away leaves, watering. However, just great guys! Due to the excellent design in this hotel there is no feeling of congestion, the influx of vacationers. It is possible to stay in the area of .15+ adults, relaxing by the beautiful adult pool, which is lined with dark stone. There, as a separate hotel within a hotel: no screams, no gamma, only silence and grace.
The hotel has beautiful trees, both pine and deciduous, shrubs, flowers, flower beds.
There is an organized cat house and the cats look great. Fed, with collars. There is no unpleasant odor near the cat or on the hotel. The hotel has its own garden, where organic vegetables and fruits grow, and there are days when the children from the mini-club harvest in an organized manner and then prepare vegetables for them. Very useful and interesting lesson. Fumigation work is carried out on site, so if there are mosquitoes, in some cases, possibly after the rain. But as my child is very sensitive to mosquito bites, we took the children's Raptor from home.
NUMBER FUND OF THE HOTEL / NUMBER GIVEN TO US / CLEANING IN THE ROOM:
Whatever building you come across, you will live like in a garden, in buildings surrounded by greenery. As I wrote above, the hotel has 12 buildings and 429 rooms.
All buildings with elevators. We personally lived in a three-story 8-story building, room 822, on the second floor, in a deluxe one-room apartment (at least 30 square meters).
All photos of the room stock on the sites correspond to reality. The room is cozy: the paintings are illuminated, a beautiful ceiling in the Turkish style, as well as in principle the room itself, a soft bed. In our room there were: one double bed (180 * 200) and 1 one and a half bed for a child with a full bed (110 * 200), a plasma TV (with Ukrainian channels, even a children's channel "Plus Plus"), 2 beds. . bedside table, table with two chairs, chest of drawers, bedside table, small balcony, bathroom with whirlpool tub, hallway with spacious closet, mirror, safe, marble floor in the room, air conditioning (central air conditioning). There is a pillow menu. Laundry and dry cleaning services and paid room service are available for a fee.
The room had an electric kettle with a set of tea and coffee (bags of black tea, sticks with coffee "Nescafe Classic" and dry cream, sugar in the joints), wine glasses, teaspoons, water glasses, champagne glasses. Minibar: daily refill with still water 0.5l, bottled "Ephesus" beer, carbonated water "Cola", "Fanta" bottled, 1 bottle of white and red wine (small), chocolate bars "Snicker", peanuts. Upon arrival, a compliment in the form of a bottle of champagne "Brut" made in Turkey and a plate of fruit and letters greeting new guests at the hotel and wishing you a pleasant stay. The first evening congratulatory delight in the room. The room also had a sewing kit, shoehorn, shoe sponge, bathrobes, disposable slippers, both adult and a pair of children, beach bag "Ali Bay Resort", branded sheets, safe. The positive is the presence of an electronic board: "Remove the number" or "Do not disturb".
The balcony is small, but from all this is such an architectural solution of the buildings of this hotel. Although there were large balconies, mostly on the ground floor, corner. Maybe it's two-room rooms. I don't know for sure. We always try to take a rope and clothespins, and our problem with drying clothes is solved. It makes no sense then to ask for a big dryer.
BEACH / WEATHER:
Private beach 400 ml, first coastline. Compared to Belek Beach, near the hotel, for example, TUI Magic Life Waterword, the "Ali Bay Resort" is much wider, but shorter. The beach is sandy, with a gentle sandy entrance to the sea. Great for relaxing with children. Beach towels, mattresses, sunbeds and umbrellas are free of charge. Umbrellas are individual, large, with a sufficient distance between the umbrellas of neighbors. There is a table. There is plenty of garbage on the beach. On the beach there is a lifeguard on the tower. Upon arrival, the sea temperature was stated at the hotel stand + 28gr.
, closer to the end of the holiday - 29g. There was no exhausting heat in the air even at lunch. Many families with infants, children. If we compare the transparency of the water in the sea in Sidi with Kemer, it is logical that in Sidi and Belek the sea is muddy because of the sandy bottom. Along the coast you can walk and see the beaches of neighboring hotels: on the left, if you look at the sea: on the beach Robinson Club Pamfilia, Hotel Turguz, Voyage Sorgun Beach, on the right Sueno Hotels Beach Side. They are not allowed to enter the neighboring hotels on the territory. At least Sueno's security returned those who wanted to see the hotel itself. Personally, my subjective opinion is that the beaches of Turguz and Voyage Sorgun are inferior: there are stones of volcanic origin in the sea. On the beach you can use the services of water entertainment (scooter, water skiing, motor boat, sofa, etc. ), you can fly by parachute. Qing did not recognize. The child was not particularly interested in this.
We spent most of our time on the beach, not lying by the pools. On the beach there is a playground for the little ones, where there are sunbeds, toys, small slides. Plus it's that she's under an awning. There is a volleyball court.
From the wishes: to make the toilet closer to the beach line, with children it is not very convenient to run to the nearest bar. I consider this a very necessary moment. If it is not possible to make a stationary toilet on the beach according to sanitary and technical conditions, then install a dry toilet. I don't think this will be a problem for a hotel of this level. It would also be good to make a towel dispensing point right on the beach.
SWIMMING POOLS / AQUAPARK:
The hotel has 5 outdoor swimming pools with fresh water (1 heated until 15.05 and from 15.10), 5 water slides for adults and 6 mountains for children without heating, open from 10.30 to 17.45. The children's water park has colorful water castles and a special pool for the little ones with antibacterial sand.
There are small slides - elephant, frog, dolphins.
Cool baby shower in the form of a clown and a penguin. I'm not a big fan of swimming pools and water parks, but even I couldn't help but ride the slides in a large water park. The child was drawn to the water park, where you can shoot water pistols. I saw with what admiration the children rejoice there. A big plus of this hotel is the availability of a relaxation pool for adults, where adults and children 15+ can relax. This pool, like all areas, is surrounded by trees and shrubs. There is complete silence and grace.
From the wishes: over the children's water park with water guns try to stretch the awning, because there time passes unnoticed and can burn.
ENTERTAINMENT AND SPORTS / EVENING SHOWS:
FOOD / BEVERAGES:
The hotel offers all-inclusive and ultra-all-inclusive meals and drinks. The concept of "Ultra All Inclusive" is valid from 07.00-2.

- CHILDREN'S COMPARTMENT OF THE MAIN RESTAURANT / FOOD AND BEVERAGES IN THE MINI CLUB:
The children's restaurant is located in the mini-club, and there is a children's corner in the main restaurant, as well as a diet corner in the main restaurant. The children's section of the main restaurant is open in the morning, at lunchtime and in the evening. It is very convenient. In the mini club, children can have lunch and snacks in the afternoon are also fully available.
The main restaurant in the children's corner has a refrigerator with canned vegetable food of Turkish origin, milk drinks in a tetra pack of 200 ml (chocolate, strawberry, banana), milk in a tetra pack of 200 ml of Turkish production, spoon yogurt with various Turkish fruit fillers without fillers , canned fruit puree of Turkish production.
Similarly, this refrigerator is installed in the mini-club.
On the children's table there were mashed potatoes, buckwheat porridge, vegetable purees, freshly squeezed juices, etc. You can take dessert to a child who has allergic reactions or lactose intolerance. On the diet table you could always find boiled and stewed meat, boiled vegetables (broccoli, cauliflower, kohlrabi, boiled corn). From meat: and cutlets, and stewed meatballs, and boiled sausages, grilled meat.
Of the side dishes: mashed potatoes, french fries, rice, pasta of various shapes, and boiled eggs in the morning (3 and 5 minutes). Fresh vegetables, fresh fruits in a wide range can be found in the public domain. Well, of course, the weakness of any child - it's ice cream, which is in bars, both packed and by weight. From pachechnogo there is a wide range: ice cream "Magnum" of Turkish production (pistachio, with white chocolate, with almonds, classic),
- MAIN RESTAURANT:
The main restaurant Ala by my standards is very large, two-story, spacious, with terraces, with the opportunity to sit outside in the smoking area. They write that it can accommodate 950 people, and I readily believe that. I am personally satisfied with the range of food, quality and presentation.
The range of fresh vegetables and fruits, canned vegetables is very large. Great choice for different types of snacks. Excellent selection of meat and fish dishes.
Fresh fruits: cherries, nectarines, apricots, apples (different varieties), bananas, grapes (dark, green), watermelon, melon, grapefruit, pineapple, lemon, plum, kiwi,
Fresh vegetables and greens: lettuce, parsley, dill, olives of different varieties and methods of canning, tomatoes and cherry tomatoes, cucumbers, sun-dried tomatoes, fresh green and red peppers, etc .;
Many thanks to the chief food and beverage manager, the chef of this hotel, the sauce chef, the confectioners.

), pasta of different kinds with different fillings, pizza. You can take a portion of butter, soft cream cheese and cheese mass, chocolate paste made in Turkey, honey. Honey is also available in honeycombs, and replenished regularly as needed. Bulk is a variety of compotes, jams (roses, quinces, oranges, apricot, strawberry, cherry, grapefruit, etc. ), liquid chocolate. There are different types of cereals and hot milk.

There are also other types on the children's table: carrot, apple. There are also packaged juices: apple, cherry, tomato.
DINNER: the variety is very large. There were themed dinners: Turkish night, fish dinner, Mexican cuisine, gala dinner (once a Saturday), which was the culmination of a variety of dishes. They tried to decorate not just the restaurant, but every dish. It is obvious that they invest their soul and appreciate their regular guests. In a day of sushi of different kinds.
Gala dinner: extra shrimp, including kingfishers, squid, mussels, crayfish, oysters, red fish in steaks and canned, cured meat (such as prosciutto or ham).
Dolmush to Manavgat: № 2, so № 10. It is on the way to Manavgat is the shopping center "Novamol". Don't worry, the dolmus driver will announce loudly when you need to get out. The cost of travel for 1 person. : 3.5 lira to Manavgat. You can pay in dollars, euros, pounds.
Novamol has a large pharmacy, Migros, Waikiki, Collins, Ozdelih, English Home, De Facto, Mavi, etc.
There is a multilevel shopping center with various goods. The prices are fixed in Turkish lira. But you can scatter the euro, and dollars, and bank cards.
The hotel constantly offers shopping in the fur shop "Bison". To be honest, I wasn't particularly interested in this trip, as I hadn't planned at first. I know that Lola and her son are being recorded and many people are satisfied with the pricing policy and the quality of the products.
Of course, relaxing in Sidi, from the nearest you can visit the ruins of the ancient city, the waterfall in Manavgat.
Excursions:
The child and I visited the Discovery Park in Sid, a dinosaur and amusement park, without a tour operator. I already wrote about it in detail in the review earlier. Admission: $ 40 adult ticket and $ 20 children's ticket. We were officially given a check. We got a taxi on the price, which is located at the stop on the stand.
You can get there by dolmus, but first you have to cross the road from the hotel, the network on dolmus №2 to Manavgat, there change to another dolmus to Discovery Park. So we decided not to fool around and took a taxi.
The changes that took place during the year in Discovery Park: a lion has grown. There is a new white lion and tiger, other parrots and iguanas, with which you can take pictures. This year we got to the seal show, which takes place this year at 17.00. Emotions in children, but also in adults. There were 2 fur seals and a sea seal.
We rested at the Ali Bay Resort in Sorgun (Sidi) for 13 nights, 14 days and, to tell you the truth, I didn't want to go wild and wanted to stay? . A hotel that is not just beautiful with a beautiful area and beach, proper food and service, but very soulful.
Cons of the hotel: install the toilet as close as possible to the beach line.
Rested in this hotel for the first time since 07.07. 2019 to 20.07. 2019 as follows: 2 adults and a child 8 years old. In general, this is our 6th visit to hotels on the Antalya coast of Turkey: July 2014. - "March of Peace 5 *" (Kemer, Tekirova), September 2015. - "Euphoria of Tekirov 5 *" (Kemer, Tekirova), end of August-September 2016. - "Gunpowder Hemer 5 *" (Side, Kyumkoy), June 2017. , July 2018 - TUI Magic Life Waterword 5 * (Belek Center).

BEACH / WEATHER:
Private beach 400 ml, first coastline. Compared to Belek Beach, near the hotel, for example, TUI Magic Life Waterword, the "Ali Bay Resort" is much wider, but shorter. The beach is sandy, with a gentle sandy entrance to the sea. Great for relaxing with children. Beach towels, mattresses, sunbeds and umbrellas are free of charge. Umbrellas are individual, large, with a sufficient distance between the umbrellas of neighbors. There is a table. There is plenty of garbage on the beach. On the beach there is a lifeguard on the tower. Upon arrival, the sea temperature was stated at the hotel stand + 28gr.
, closer to the end of the holiday - 29g. There was no exhausting heat in the air even at lunch. Many families with infants, children. If we compare the transparency of the water in the sea in Sidi with Kemer, it is logical that in Sidi and Belek the sea is muddy because of the sandy bottom. Along the coast you can walk and see the beaches of neighboring hotels: on the left, if you look at the sea: on the beach Robinson Club Pamfilia, Hotel Turguz, Voyage Sorgun Beach, on the right Sueno Hotels Beach Side. They are not allowed to enter the neighboring hotels on the territory. At least Sueno's security returned those who wanted to see the hotel itself. Personally, my subjective opinion is that the beaches of Turguz and Voyage Sorgun are inferior: there are stones of volcanic origin in the sea. On the beach you can use the services of water entertainment (scooter, water skiing, motor boat, sofa, etc. ), you can fly by parachute. Qing did not recognize. The child was not particularly interested in this.
We spent most of our time on the beach, not lying by the pools. On the beach there is a playground for the little ones, where there are sunbeds, toys, small slides. Plus it's that she's under an awning. There is a volleyball court.
From the wishes: to make the toilet closer to the beach line, with children it is not very convenient to run to the nearest bar. I consider this a very necessary moment. If it is not possible to make a stationary toilet on the beach according to sanitary and technical conditions, then install a dry toilet. I don't think this will be a problem for a hotel of this level. It would also be good to make a towel dispensing point right on the beach.
SWIMMING POOLS / AQUAPARK:
The hotel has 5 outdoor swimming pools with fresh water (1 heated until 15.05 and from 15.10), 5 water slides for adults and 6 mountains for children without heating, open from 10.30 to 17.45. The children's water park has colorful water castles and a special pool for the little ones with antibacterial sand.
There are small slides - elephant, frog, dolphins.
Cool baby shower in the form of a clown and a penguin. I'm not a big fan of swimming pools and water parks, but even I couldn't help but ride the slides in a large water park. The child was drawn to the water park, where you can shoot water pistols. I saw with what admiration the children rejoice there. A big plus of this hotel is the availability of a relaxation pool for adults, where adults and children 15+ can relax. This pool, like all areas, is surrounded by trees and shrubs. There is complete silence and grace.
From the wishes: over the children's water park with water guns try to stretch the awning, because there time passes unnoticed and can burn.

The children's restaurant is located in the mini-club, and there is a children's corner in the main restaurant, as well as a diet corner in the main restaurant. The children's section of the main restaurant is open in the morning, at lunchtime and in the evening. It is very convenient.

Fresh vegetables, fresh fruits in a wide range can be found in the public domain. Well, of course, the weakness of any child - it's ice cream, which is in bars, both packed and by weight. From pachechnogo there is a wide range: ice cream "Magnum" of Turkish production (pistachio, with white chocolate, with almonds, classic),
- MAIN RESTAURANT:
The main restaurant Ala by my standards is very large, two-story, spacious, with terraces, with the opportunity to sit outside in the smoking area. They write that it can accommodate 950 people, and I readily believe that. I am personally satisfied with the range of food, quality and presentation.
The range of fresh vegetables and fruits, canned vegetables is very large. Great choice for different types of snacks. Excellent selection of meat and fish dishes.
Fresh fruits: cherries, nectarines, apricots, apples (different varieties), bananas, grapes (dark, green), watermelon, melon, grapefruit, pineapple, lemon, plum, kiwi,
Fresh vegetables and greens: lettuce, parsley, dill, olives of different varieties and methods of canning, tomatoes and cherry tomatoes, cucumbers, sun-dried tomatoes, fresh green and red peppers, etc .;
Many thanks to the chief food and beverage manager, the chef of this hotel, the sauce chef, the confectioners.

), pasta of different kinds with different fillings, pizza. You can take a portion of butter, soft cream cheese and cheese mass, chocolate paste made in Turkey, honey. Honey is also available in honeycombs, and replenished regularly as needed. Bulk is a variety of compotes, jams (roses, quinces, oranges, apricot, strawberry, cherry, grapefruit, etc. ), liquid chocolate. There are different types of cereals and hot milk. The machines have espresso, double espresso, cappuccino, moccasin.
Very often there are a large number of red fish, smoked fish.

There are also other types on the children's table: carrot, apple. There are also packaged juices: apple, cherry, tomato.
DINNER: the variety is very large. There were themed dinners: Turkish night, fish dinner, Mexican cuisine, gala dinner (once a Saturday), which was the culmination of a variety of dishes. They tried to decorate not just the restaurant, but every dish. It is obvious that they invest their soul and appreciate their regular guests. In a day of sushi of different kinds.
Gala dinner: extra shrimp, including kingfishers, squid, mussels, crayfish, oysters, red fish in steaks and canned, cured meat (such as prosciutto or ham).
Dolmush to Manavgat: № 2, so № 10. It is on the way to Manavgat is the shopping center "Novamol". Don't worry, the dolmus driver will announce loudly when you need to get out. The cost of travel for 1 person. : 3.5 lira to Manavgat. You can pay in dollars, euros, pounds.
Novamol has a large pharmacy, Migros, Waikiki, Collins, Ozdelih, English Home, De Facto, Mavi, etc.
There is a multilevel shopping center with various goods. The prices are fixed in Turkish lira. But you can scatter the euro, and dollars, and bank cards.
The hotel constantly offers shopping in the fur shop "Bison". To be honest, I wasn't particularly interested in this trip, as I hadn't planned at first. I know that Lola and her son are being recorded and many people are satisfied with the pricing policy and the quality of the products.
Of course, relaxing in Sidi, from the nearest you can visit the ruins of the ancient city, the waterfall in Manavgat.
Excursions:
The child and I visited the Discovery Park in Sid, a dinosaur and amusement park, without a tour operator. I already wrote about it in detail in the review earlier. Admission: $ 40 adult ticket and $ 20 children's ticket. We were officially given a check. We got a taxi on the price, which is located at the stop on the stand.
You can get there by dolmus, but first you have to cross the road from the hotel, the network on dolmus №2 to Manavgat, there change to another dolmus to Discovery Park. So we decided not to fool around and took a taxi.
The changes that took place during the year in Discovery Park: a lion has grown. There is a new white lion and tiger, other parrots and iguanas, with which you can take pictures. This year we got to the seal show, which takes place this year at 17.00. Emotions in children, but also in adults. There were 2 fur seals and a sea seal.
We rested at the Ali Bay Resort in Sorgun (Sidi) for 13 nights, 14 days and, to tell you the truth, I didn't want to go wild and wanted to stay? . A hotel that is not just beautiful with a beautiful area and beach, proper food and service, but very soulful.
Cons of the hotel: install the toilet as close as possible to the beach line.
