Hi all! Currently (since July 20.2023) I am in a hotel with my husband and 11-year-old son. We didn’t plan the trip, we wanted to spend our vacation at the dacha, but the weather in Moscow made its own adjustments and as a result we flew to Turkey. Having run for decency on the availability of tours to already proven hotels, I switched to simpler options - good ones visited on the foot or an inadequate price tag came out for three.

Hi all! Currently (since July 20.2023) I am in a hotel with my husband and 11-year-old son.
We didn’t plan the trip, we wanted to spend our vacation at the dacha, but the weather in Moscow made its own adjustments and as a result we flew to Turkey.
Having run for decency on the availability of tours to already proven hotels, I switched to simpler options - good ones visited on the foot or an inadequate price tag came out for three. We didn’t choose hotels for a very long time - the priority was:
1. Sandy beach, sandy entry into the sea
2. The first line is maximum - I consider long movements in the heat to be superfluous and the child will wander between the sea, pools, bars - you don’t run to follow
3. The presence of slides - if not a water park, but not 2 to be
4. Well, and that the price is acceptable, taking into account the high season.
At the fan & sun travel agency, under my requests, they offered five Caesars in Side.
Within 15 minutes I skimmed through the reviews (in general, everything is positive) - and realizing that if I choose further, I won’t fly away at all. I paid for a ticket, paid extra for an early flight and for a room in the main building (closer to the sea and the dining room).
1. Departed from Zhukovsky, flight without delay, Boeing Redwings, flew in 3.45 hours (4.15 was announced). In flight, they give only simple and sweet water. We thoughtfully ate at the airport.
2. We arrived from the port in 45 minutes without stops, because our hotel was the first
3. We were at the hotel at 13.20, just in time for check-in. They immediately put on bracelets and sent me to dinner (I planned to check in of course and undress at least). But then I realized that they did the right thing - maybe then we might not have time.
4. After dinner, they immediately gave cards and helped with the suitcases. The location of the room is excellent - in the center of the main building near the elevator - close to everything and not noisy. Here is floor 3 - not even a floor, but a span - in principle, an elevator is not needed if it were not for the heat.
There are only two elevators - the workload is large - baby strollers and lazy assholes who ride from first to zero ????
5. I liked the room right away, we didn’t consider it too much - we quickly changed clothes and ran to the sea
6. The sea is 100-150 m from the strength to the beach from us. Seeing the cleanest transparent sea with fish and a perfect sandy entry, I was ready to starve and live sober in the mud (judging by some reviews) ????
7. Personally, my beach Turkey in July - August, I don’t like getting used to the water, twitching that the child needs to warm up or wrap him with a towel. The water is very warm both in the sea and in the pools. The weather is not for everyone, of course - we were right in the scorching heat.
Now everything is in order for our stay at the hotel and read in the reviews.
I clearly understood that I was going to the budget five overseas and warm, so the mood was "without any special claims. " If you are looking for high aesthetics, author's cuisine and champagne for breakfast, this is not the place for you.
1. Accommodation.
The room is standard, quite spacious, a huge bed, an extra bed - a separate bed in a niche, a safe for free, a plasma built into the mirror, a spacious built-in wardrobe, a refrigerator, everything works properly in the bathroom. It can be seen that the number of rooms was updated - everything is modern, unused. The air conditioner works. Purely.
They clean normally, if something is not reported - a call to the reception decides everything. Small balconies - to dry clothes and smoke - quite enough.
2. Food. Well, I don’t know what else to feed so that the food is “not monotonous”. If in one run there is everything that they give at once - then yes, on the third day you will probably get bored. I will not paint - the food is excellent - tasty, varied, a lot of things! Solid Five out of five.
3. Alcohol. Every local is different - the quality is absolutely standard for hotels of this level. Champagne for a fee. Imported alcohol for a fee.
4. Cleanliness. Just clean. Everywhere - from the beach to public toilets.
Around the urns are, garbage cans, containers for food waste. Employees spend the whole day sweeping, vacuuming, tinder, cutting, leveling, washing, cleaning, collecting garbage, which would not exist if vacationers did not pig. The whole "srach" that they write about is an exclusively human factor - it's sickening to watch - they pile mountains and drag five more glasses in their teeth - everything falls down, pours. And then they can’t bring a glass or a cigarette butt to the garbage dump, they leave half-eaten food in plates everywhere - and then they are surprised that the ants have come running. There are a lot of staff, but you can’t assign a personal cleaner to every pig. Especially the high season - the hotel is full.
5. Territory. Not small and not big. Everything is there and everything is compact. They write that there is little greenery - and there is nowhere to just plant it, the whole space is filled. What is left is planted, the lawns are green - but they are also under sun loungers and tables. There are no gardens or lawns for walking.
There is a second building - next to the water park - like the second line. But maybe the territory is small - like the first with huge hotels. There are shops on the territory of the hotel and immediately at the exit - many shopping arcades - from supermarkets, pharmacies to cafes. There are places to walk.
6. Animation and entertainment. Good, active. On the beach and at all pools at different times. And there is a stage for performances and an amphitheater, a kids club, water slides for both young and older, an indoor pool, a hammam.
7. A la carte. By the way, they haven't been yet. There is an assumption that one of them is exactly on the street, and in the evening it is stuffy - there was no particular motivation to get there yet.
8. The hotel is not new, but there is no ruin or dilapidation in sight - all rooms are renovated, interior items are stylized in antique style. Bed linen, towels - all clean, new. In the dining room (main restaurant) tablecloths without stains - not ironed, but washed.
Drinking water portioned in 200 g plastic everywhere in refrigerators and on racks in unlimited quantities. Paid services - such as photos, massages, water activities - are unobtrusive. The staff is friendly, helpful.
9. Dress code. In principle, it is not there - the pareo is wrapped and excellent. For dinner, of course, you can surprise everyone with evening dresses and heels - but this is an exception - everything is very simple.
Of the minuses:
1. The hotel declares the concept of ultra all inclusive. Here I do not agree. There are breaks in feeding during the day, after one in the morning not a single bar is open either for drinks or for food - this is on schedule - I haven’t checked, not everyone has tried it yet - so far this is the opinion. By the way, ice cream is given both at the announced hours and just during dinner - in individual packaging - that’s not for us at the time - when it doesn’t fit and there’s so much of everything - we don’t eat from greed - we haven’t tried it yet
2.
There is practically no shade at the central pool and the water park, and at the same time there are not enough umbrellas for everyone - sadness is direct
3. No soy sauce??? ? with all the diversity
4. The Internet is normal only in the lobby and the room - on the beach there is none at all
We have five more days to go. There will be something to add - I will definitely write.

Hello, I wouldn’t write if I didn’t see so much negativity about hotels from previous travelers. We just returned from Turkey, we were very satisfied with absolutely everything, it seems to me that if you go in a bad mood and look for cons, then it’s better not to go at all. And so the hotel has a huge selection of dishes at any time, be it breakfast, lunch and dinner, of course there is no borscht and pickle, but there was something to feed children 3 and 8 years old, alcohol is also decent, although I heard a lot that they dilute it in Turkey , there was no such feeling, we liked everything.

Everything is clean everywhere and in the room every day and the territory is licked, the only thing is that the pools are not heated, at the beginning of the season this was not enough, the sea turned out to be warmer than the water in the pool.
The most beautiful thing about this hotel is not even its high level of comfort, but the fact that you have a great opportunity to take care of your health and this is not only about yoga and other sports activities every morning, but about massage and the best pros who work here. We went with the whole family, everyone is happy, the massage is done very high quality, people with experience of more than 15 years have been doing their job, they have been in different countries and I can say for sure that it is a must to visit a massage here, you will leave your holiday as a really rested person!

So, we are resting in this hotel now! We stopped at 2810 at night, we fly back to St. Petersburg on 09.11 and THANK GOD!! ! Of the advantages of this hotel, only its location and pretty good and free internet almost everywhere (in the rooms too), but do not fall for it, please! And now let's go: We live in the main building, at least that's what it says on our check-in voucher.

So, we are resting in this hotel now! We stopped at 2810 at night, we fly back to St. Petersburg on 09.11 and THANK GOD!! ! Of the advantages of this hotel, only its location and pretty good and free internet almost everywhere (in the rooms too), but do not fall for it, please!
And now let's go:
We live in the main building, at least that's what it says on our check-in voucher. Let me explain, this is the building that is closest to the reception. Last floor, top. A very beautiful view from the common balcony, a view of the entrance to the hotel, a children's pool and slides, mountains and a mosque, this is where the good ends quickly…
It all started with settlement. I’m used to the fact that you can and should use a safe in 5-rooms for the safety of your documents and valuables, but I was confused by its location in the closet... It was not on the top or middle shelf, as usual, but in the compartment for suitcases and outerwear in the very bottom. I was a little embarrassed and decided to try to move it for some reason, and what was my amazement when it turned out that the safe remained in my hands, that is, it absolutely (from the word AT ALL !!! ) was not bolted to the wall. You could not even puzzle over the cipher, but just take it and take it out of the room !! ! (After that, we don’t leave money there at all. Let’s go through the room further. The room is a typical studio in size, only without a kitchen, a bathroom is combined. Sooooo small balcony, I've never seen anything like it before!!! We don't hear animation at night, as others write, since we have a view from the balcony to a small courtyard with a banana palm in the middle.
The room is cleaned badly. Towels are reluctant to change. Bed linen was changed today for the first time in 5 days, and then, for this I had to go to the trick. We took all the linen off the beds and threw it down on the floor, just like they do with towels when they want to be changed. Once, yesterday for the first time they brought us water to the room, before that they dragged and drag water from the "canteen". But yesterday, it was something! Suddenly there was a knock on the door and without waiting for an answer, they simply opened it with their key! I rushed towards, on the threshold stood a young man with two bottles of water... And if the child was alone? And if the wife was alone after the shower? Why not knock and leave water at the door? This is the height of indecency and tactlessness! (As I wrote above, a beautiful panoramic view opens up from the common balcony, including the mosque... Since it is very close... So now we know exactly what time Muslims pray and how many times a day! ) Even in the mornings at 08:15 we have an “alarm clock”! A man comes with a hammer and beats off the ice from a huge refrigeration unit, which is literally next to us. He usually tries for 20-30 minutes! That is, oversleep for breakfast, even if you really want to, it will not work! )
Sewage stinks everywhere and several times! In the morning and in the evening it stinks in the rooms, during the day it stinks at the restaurant and the pool. Despite the fact that the hotel claims to be a 5-star hotel, there is not even an electric kettle in the room, why is there a kettle, not even a couple of mugs or glasses, and that’s not even there... The air conditioner in the room is so old that, apparently, it survived the Turkish revolution and the overthrow of the centuries-old regime of Osman Pasha, apparently it is about 100 years old, so at the time of Ataturk it probably still worked, although I won’t say it... Now it’s scary to even turn it on, I’m afraid that its revolutionary spirit will punish me with a discharge of current...
Food in the canteen. It is in the “canteen”, otherwise I can’t name this institution... Dirt and unsanitary conditions are everywhere! For the entire restaurant (two huge halls of 200 square meters each) there are only 10 waiters, absolutely inexperienced, it is clear that they are schoolchildren or students on a part-time job... Everything that concerns food on the territory of the hotel always closes at least half an hour ahead of schedule !!!
The most tolerable, but outstanding is breakfast and dinner.
For breakfast, usually: dry breakfasts with various sour, but extremely healthy, because natural and natural yoghurts. There is also rice porridge with milk, there are omelettes, there are scrambled eggs, there are pancakes and a kind of Russian donuts in the Turkish manner (like making a hole yourself), I especially want to note pastries, in this the Turks are at their best! But even here it was not without jambs, they often shove yesterday's one... (There are two press grills in which everyone who loves toast with cheese makes them for themselves. Cheese is in abundance, but they found it to be an amateur, although they even found smoked! Sausages are unlikely to please experienced gourmets. Cutlets and sausages can be eaten, but without great pleasure, only with terrible hunger... Tea and coffee are very mediocre, but quite tolerable. Powdered juices are also always present. Juices like: freshly squeezed fresh in the canteen never happens, even for money !! ! You you can find something similar, but mostly from a pomegranate on the beach for a couple of dollars or not far from the hotel at the entrance to the Vitamin restaurant.
At lunch, several "meat" dishes and side dishes are added. You will not find pure meat here for anything! Don't even try! It is found only in a vegetable comb (beef), rarely found on skewers, similar to a lamb flat and round lollipop. There is chicken, turkey, it will be presented to you as a baked minced kebab, which serves well as a main course and also goes well as an addition, or rather a filling to their empty (only with a smell, sometimes with champignons) soups. Although my wife just liked the soups. Vegetables, herbs, sauces and all sorts of crossings were in abundance. Small selection of cakes, but still there.
Dinner. Here you will see everything that was not eaten at breakfast, disguised with different sauces, added to salads and soups or simply warmed up, but sometimes, not often, there is also duck. I myself was pleasantly surprised.
Alcohol. Absolutely everywhere on the territory of the hotel it is disgusting!! ! Don't drink!! ! Do not harm your health!! ! This is a common practice in many hotels of this class, but these have surpassed all! They managed to make bad even beer! I got the impression that some strong and, of course, cheap alcohol is being added to a barrel of beer! The logic is quite simple and everything is quite pragmatic: people will get tipsy faster and will drink less, because they don’t fit anymore, and for those who do, at least dilute it with water, they don’t care anyway... God bless! Wine is low-grade sour, cocktails can be made delicious from shit and sticks, I’m telling you this as a former bartender, but what am I talking about ? ! We are the Cesars hotel, why try here, for whom? For the Russians? They will do just fine! They are not Germans who do not bargain and buy for the price that is set for Euros, and not like cunning Russians for Dollars, and even break the price two or three times...
The staff is frankly rude without embarrassment.
Beach towels.
Despite the fact that at the reception they give you cards for beach towels, this does not give you any right to receive them! First, you must listen to a "fascinating lecture" about the benefits of their massage and procedures and allow yourself to be signed up for a trial massage, only by allowing all this you will receive the coveted prize - your towels!
Animation in the hotel.
She probably exists. But very unobtrusively... During the day you will never see them entertaining tourists with sporting events. Sometimes, but not always, in the evenings there is a children's disco and a bad and uninteresting show with caustic and offensive jokes of the animation chief against tourists who forgive him everything... In general, the result is this, if you do not want to ruin your vacation, do not spend it in this hotel!
And now let's go:

First, you must listen to a "fascinating lecture" about the benefits of their massage and procedures and allow yourself to be signed up for a trial massage, only by allowing all this you will receive the coveted prize - your towels!
Animation in the hotel.
She probably exists. But very unobtrusively... During the day you will never see them entertaining tourists with sporting events. Sometimes, but not always, in the evenings there is a children's disco and a bad and uninteresting show with caustic and offensive jokes of the animation chief against tourists who forgive him everything... In general, the result is this, if you do not want to ruin your vacation, do not spend it in this hotel!

We arrived at four in the morning. Settlement - after 14:00. They offered to pay extra $100 for immediate settlement (a room in the main block with a sea view). They promised a family room with three beds. As a result, they brought a broken cot for my daughter. Went down to reception and asked to do something.

They promised a family room with three beds. As a result, they brought a broken cot for my daughter. Went down to reception and asked to do something. We found another room (already with a bed), but not cleaned. They offered to move things there, and they will remove it in 30 minutes while we are at sea. Four hours have passed. We came from the sea - the room is dirty, heaps of garbage, dirty linens and all that. We washed in the shower, went to dinner, returned, hoping to go to bed - nothing has changed - all the same srach. When I asked why we had to wait longer for an extra $100 than without a surcharge, the receptionist offered to return the money we paid and move us to another building. For the third time, we simply could not physically drag things - we went to sleep on armchairs in the lobby in the hope that in the meantime the room would still be removed.

First, an appeal to Russian tourists: Compatriots, behave appropriately, take care of yourself and your children while on vacation. Good hotel with its pros and cons. Of course, some places are already in need of repair, but overall very well. It is especially necessary to go here for those who are going to Turkey for the first time in order to experience the all-inclusive vacation.

Good hotel with its pros and cons. Of course, some places are already in need of repair, but overall very well. It is especially necessary to go here for those who are going to Turkey for the first time in order to experience the all-inclusive vacation. Everything is really on here and you can’t turn it off : ). We lived in the main building overlooking the amphitheater, the room has air conditioning, a refrigerator, a TV, a hairdryer, a safe and all accessories (gel, shampoo, conditioner, lotion, dental and shaving kits, even cotton pads and sticks, and threads with a needle! ). The room was cleaned every day, towels were also changed every day, linen - every five days. According to other guests, they were not cleaned regularly, but once every two days. With what it is connected, I do not know.
Nutrition.
The feeling of hunger did not have time to come to us during the rest : ) Although I can’t say that we ate a lot at the main meals (breakfast, lunch and dinner). In the restaurant you can eat 5 (!! ! ) times a day - breakfast, brunch, lunch, dinner and night soup (I have no idea what it was, it was not useful). The menu is extensive and quite rich and varied. In the morning, in addition to standard sausages, cheeses, vegetables, greens, thoughts, cereals, cereals, etc. , you can take freshly prepared scrambled eggs, donuts, pancakes, pancakes, and also make a la club sandwiches on the grill yourself. Starting from lunch, in the main restaurant you can get locally produced alcohol (quite tolerable quality), as well as soda. For lunch there is always chicken, turkey, fish in different cooking options, soups, side dishes and more. Dinner is also distinguished by a variety of dishes, meat dishes are added. Every dinner they cook something interesting - either shawarma or some other dishes.
You can always find something to eat! Desserts are simply huge. Fruit is always available. In addition, you can also eat at the beach bar (snack bar) from 12 to 15 - burgers, french fries, nuggets, salads, fruits. The lobby bar is open from 10 to 00. Any drinks - from tea and coffee to the signature Caesar cocktail are always welcome.
Due to the virus, waiters impose food, sometimes queues form because of this, but this is not critical. There is enough for everyone, even if you arrive 15 minutes before the end of, for example, lunch. The tables are also cleared very quickly, you can always find a table. Special thanks to the restaurant team! Those who write that everything is monotonous and not tasty are just freaking out with fat or trying to prove what gourmets they are : )
Russian tourists, as always, are always hungry, gaining an incredible amount of food and then leaving everything on plates. Or carried out of the restaurant and left halfway. So ashamed of such compatriots!
Sea and beach.
The Mediterranean Sea is simply luxurious - warm, pleasant, the waves are not huge, the entry into the water is gradual, you can choose the desired depth. The beach is large, there are enough sunbeds for everyone (we went at different times, we were never left without a place). Instead of umbrellas, awnings are stretched, which is also very convenient. Although the beach itself is being cleaned, but with such an influx of tourists, they obviously can’t cope, it’s dirty in places. BUT! For some reason, tourists cannot take two steps to the trash can. Especially parents whose children just arrange a pigsty after themselves (and not only on the beach, but also in the dining room). Every time I watched it, I was horrified! At home, you clean up the trash after your child, but you don’t need to at the hotel?
The pools are large, there are two of them and another one with slides for children and adults. The pool between the buildings is a place for a party - there is music, animation, all sorts of entertainment. The pool behind the main building on the way to the beach is a calmer place. There is a small paddling pool for kids.
Entertainment.
Almost the whole day something happens: ) Either yoga, then aqua aerobics, then darts, then some children's activities (the mini-club also works). But the most important thing is the show time from 20:45 mini-disco (it seemed to me that for children up to 10 years old) and from 21:30 the show program is different every evening. During our time, there were belly dances, and a fire show, and a comedy show by animators, and a Mongolian show (practically the Circus Du Soleil). There was live music on the restaurant terrace on some days (on Sunday, for example, when there is no show program). The repertoire is excellent! The host is just a mega-artistic person. Finds a common language with all adequate people (just sometimes some parents do not understand what they are being told and simply interfere with work).
The hotel is definitely recommended to visit, but you need to be prepared for a huge number of people.
We rested with Aneks and this is a different story. Anex-Tour has changed its style.
Previously, during a transfer from the airport, the guide told general facts about the country, something interesting and so on, now they immediately begin to sell their excursions. At a meeting with a hotel guide (hello to Denis from our Caesar), you need to directly ask about the excursions in all details - what will happen, where they will take you, what time is calculated, what you need to bring with you, etc. So, we bought into The Land park of legends and worthlessly spent $150 for two with an anex, and all because it was said - for the WHOLE day, at the end you will see a fountain show and so on. In fact, tourists are taken out at 16:45, while the organization for entering the park is also lame. Alena drove us - she doesn’t really know anything, she can’t tell. Such to yourself. The same thing happened with the excursion to the Tyzy Canyon (new program) at sunset. We found out that the tour included rafting on a mountain river 10 minutes before departure, well, at least we managed to run away for changeable clothes and swimwear.
But Denis told everything colorfully, with jokes, personal photos. He is an excellent salesman : ) And this time, the annex has a million such punctures with excursions. And the organization is lame in places, and the guides can't really say anything. The disappointment is complete.

Food average 4. Polite staff 5. Rotovirus in almost all children. The room is cleaned on 3. Beach 5. The animation is disgusting. People don't swing at all. They sit near their booth. But how evil and boorish the host is. Very arrogant, children piss him off. My daughter loves to dance very much, but even after that she stopped going to the mini-disco.

And performances are real for pensioners.
Animation 0.
I remember the live music in the restaurant. That was great 5++++
The hotel is normal (if you do not take into account the animation and the presenter), but we will not recommend and will not return.

Everything is inclusive here, everything is very diverse, the menu changes often. The drinks are very good. There is enough food for everyone and for every taste. Very nice beach, and the sea is normal even for children, not very deep. On the territory there are 2 large pools, 2 small ones, there are slides.

It could be better here, but if you find fault with everything. And so everything is pretty good here.

We are currently in this hotel. I must say that the hotel is excellent! I do not understand those who write bad reviews... Apparently, people themselves are negative. We were in Turkey and Egypt in good fives and I will say that the hotel fully corresponds to its stars! Check in was quick, we arrived at 00.00.

We were in Turkey and Egypt in good fives and I will say that the hotel fully corresponds to its stars! Check in was quick, we arrived at 00.00. Those who wanted to eat were offered to go to a restaurant. Although we took a room in an additional building, we (myself, my husband and two children) were settled in the main one, and even a two-room one. True, first for the night, and then just presented. View from the balcony to neighboring rooms. Oh well, we only sleep in the room. The sea is perfect for kids. Sand, fine, clean. The food is excellent. Diverse, in each bar at different times the food. The territory is beautiful, well-groomed, everything is clean. Animation is top notch! The staff is very friendly. Nowhere you will see dirt or an uncleaned table. In general, fly here and see for yourself! I'm sure you'll want to come back.

Before the trip we read a lot of good and bad reviews. Now writing a review, I can not say anything bad at all, my hand would not rise. The most important thing for everyone to know is that the old building has already been completely renovated. When we entered, there was still the smell of fresh paint. It is still a small town between the old building and the new one.

It is still a small town between the old building and the new one. it was not there last year. And this means you do not need to go up the stairs! ! ! ! ! Food is just a shaft. Not everything was tasted in 10 days. Hamam is good. A little more expensive than traveling, but it's worth it. The sea, of course, as everyone writes, is bombastic! ! ! ! ! ! ! I don't know what I might not like there. I just don't understand people who write bad reviews.

Now we are in this hotel, I don’t know, maybe we are not very demanding tourists, but everything suits us. A lot depends on the price you paid, it cost us 88 thousand for two weeks, of course, this is not a luxury hotel, but it is quite budget, okay. The food is good, meat is chicken, turkey, lamb, pork, very good entrecote, beef tongues were amazingly tender, there is always fish, I don’t want to try everything, but yesterday there was amazing trout, sea bream is not bad, well, mackerel and horse mackerel type are not very good, but no one left hungry! In the morning, delicious donuts, desserts are varied, a lot and delicious! Fruit apples, pears, watermelons, mini bananas, and a couple of local ones, I don’t even know the name, oranges all the time, you can take it to the beach with you, no one looks askance! Bottled water is freely available, alcohol is normal, it was not bad, the beer is good! The room is basic, not very big.

The room is basic, not very big.
I was pleased that they settled in the room immediately upon arrival, no one extorted dollars for an early check-in, thanks to Timur, he quickly settled in and after 10 minutes were already in the room!
The animation is all near the pool, but in the morning we go to the sea and for the whole day.
The beach is excellent, we walked along the promenade in both directions and saw other areas of the beaches of other hotels! There are terrible ones!
At night we open the balcony, for all the time there was one mosquito!
In general, if you do not expect luxury and that you will be idolized from morning to evening, you can safely take a tour to this hotel!
A very cool senior animator in Russian called Yuri, a professional in his field, with a good sense of humor, and a lot of positive! We are all different, it's hard to please everyone!
I was also frightened by the negative reviews that I read before the trip, but I never regretted choosing this hotel!
Have a good rest and good mood!! !
