now the hotel is for sale and listed as 5 *, although on some sites it is still 4 *. a classic Turkish scheme, when the hotel pays money and buys itself another star.
so if he was 4 * prices he would not have been. and since he is 5 * there are claims to him. Well economy class.
There are many reviews for this hotel. I can agree with both negative and positive.
accommodation. for me personally, the resort of Side turned out to be nothing, the worst in Turkey, but this is IMHO. the hotel building is crooked (in relation to the sea). I somehow got used to the fact that hotels are located either directly or perpendicularly to the sea. For me, the hotel seemed uncomfortable. the room is clean, with a claim to 5 *. this manifested itself in the bedspread and curtains. tried to beautify. no complaints. everything in the bathroom worked properly, we always had hot water.
WiFi was free in the hotel lobby.

food. This seems to be the main question of our tourists. in taste and color. I was satisfied with the food. I don't eat much when it's hot. fruits, vegetables, side dishes, meat-fish, sweets. everything was present. I didn't see anyone hungry in the hotel.
the bulk of tourists are residents of the CIS. rudeness and fights were not noticed.
the staff is friendly. problems are being solved or it seems that they are being solved, depending on the complexity.
there are enough sun loungers for everyone on the beach, it is clean, the beach is monitored.
there was cleaning in the room. with a tip, so there were no complaints.
animation as for 5 * is rather weak. but this question has always been of no interest to me at the hotel. in the evenings we went to Side or Antalya, so we were at the animation a couple of times. you can kill time.
this is one of my few trips where I did not take part in choosing a hotel and resort - friends gave us vouchers. they didn't get to go. went spontaneously, having gathered for 2 days. and we didn’t intend to go at all, so I can’t call my stay in this hotel a long-awaited vacation. and taking into account the fact that I had a knee injury and, as it turned out later, with muscle strain, I also rarely appeared on the beach - on the first day my leg was very cold.
if you are offered a hotel at a good price, you need sand on the beach and close to the airport - it's worth going. but in parallel it is also worth looking at other options.
