Hello, those who want to take a break. I want to share my impressions about the cesars Resort Hotel 5 * in the city of Side. They settled us not in the main building, but in one that is located in the distance (it looks like it used to be another hotel). If you evaluate the room, then you can assign it no more than 4 *, everything is already very old and shabby (I don’t know how in other rooms). Our windows overlooked the opposite side from the sea, and there was a Turkish bazaar. What happened there during the day didn’t really bother us, we didn’t rest in the room, but that evening, when everyone went to bed, from 12 am to 2 am, the Turks begin to close their shops. They are closed with iron roletaki, which fall with a roar. Imagine what it was.
Now for some good stuff. The territory of the hotel is good, beautiful, large enough main pool. There are several water slides near the pool. As for food, the food is very tasty, you can’t even try everything that is there.
Animation works all day near the pool, and concerts are organized in the evening.

The hotel has a Turkish bath, which can be used free of charge. Naturally, if you want to have a peeling procedure done, then this is already paid. There is also a gym.
On the territory of the hotel there is a copy of the pollnada from the ruins in Side.
By the way, at the bazaar described above, you can buy almost everything that your deshe wants. If you go on a sightseeing tour of Side, you will definitely be taken to some factory for the production of leather products, and so the prices there are much higher than for the same products but in expensive stores in Kyiv (a scam for visitors).
We also ordered a jeep safari through the mountains from our guide. When they paid, they clarified whether we could be driving in a car and received an affirmative answer. On the day of the tour, a minibus arrived, picked us up and took us to the site, where a lot of people gathered and there were about 30 (or more) jeeps. The Turks began to distribute everyone in jeeps. They stocked up about 10 cars, put several Russians in another one and told us to go to their rear seats. I told them that our guide told us that we could drive and asked to put us in another jeep (besides, we didn't want to go with the Russians, you know them). The Turk told us to wait, seated everyone who remained in other cars, waved his hand at us in disgust, and everyone left. After that, returning to the hotel, we began to call our guide, who began to excuse herself. We saw her only on the day of departure home. I described the situation on the sheet and asked her to sign. Of course, she did not return the money to us. Already upon arrival in Kyiv, I began to deal with a travel company. After arriving in Kyiv and several weeks of proceedings and by the company, having a receipt for paying for the excursion and my application signed by the guide, they returned the money to me. they even called back from Turkey and apologized, they said that the guide who worked with us was fired (whether it is or not is not so important).
If you do not pay all attention to this, then the hotel itself is quite good and comfortable.

I wish you all a pleasant stay and do not get into unpleasant situations.
