Welcome all. We rested at the Club Belinda 4 * hotel in the village of Evrenseki, in Side from September 27 to October 11.2011. This hotel was chosen not only by reviews on the Internet, but also by the good location of the hotel, green area and sandy beach. We decided to rest in late September - early October in the Side region, since the budget for the trip was very limited, we considered several hotels and stopped there.
Went with a family of 2 adults and a 4 year old daughter. Rested with TUI - Ukraine - everything is fine. Round-trip flights without delays, Airline - Wind Rose. The planes are in excellent condition, the food is also good. I liked that there was food for babies, children and adults on board.
And now in order:
Transfer to the hotel without remarks took a little less than one hour, more back due to a stop at Sorbet, where TUI delivers without fail.
We arrived at the hotel around 10.
30 in the morning, filled out a questionnaire and asked to quickly settle. Since our standard room was not yet ready, we were offered to spend the night in a room without a balcony, and tomorrow we will be moved to a family room. I agreed, immediately received the keys and the guy from the reception took our suitcases to the room on the 4th floor of the Family block B. The room really has no balcony, the roof is sloping. The air conditioner worked like everything else. The next day at 10 am we were moved to the family block A on the 2nd floor in a family room (944). For the inconvenience caused, they also gave a safe for 2 weeks free of charge. In this room everything was also excellent, everything worked. The only thing is that I strained the noise from the evening animation, but as soon as it ended, everything was OK. The room is large, two-room, in the first room (children's) there are 2 single beds, a wardrobe (there is a safe in it), then a door to the second room and a bathroom.
The second room has a large double bed, a table with a TV, a minibar, air conditioning (which worked well, we left the door between the rooms open and it was comfortable), access to the terrace. On the terrace there is a table and 4 chairs. We read the reviews before the trip, so we brought a clothesline with us. The bathroom is standard, large in size, the shower is normal, the shower is with a flexible hose. Soap and gel provided by the hotel in the dispensers were not used. There were always 4 large towels in the bathroom, 4 for the face and one for the legs. Toilet paper was regularly updated. In the minibar there is a large bottle of mineral water without gas upon arrival, then we bought it ourselves. When we moved in, the room was just cleaned by 2 cleaners (they work in pairs). I immediately agreed with them about cleaning from 10 to 12 in the morning, every day I hung a sign asking them to clean it - they cleaned it well. Every day they left a dollar, sometimes a chocolate bar.
I liked the territory of the hotel, a lot of greenery, everything is well-groomed. We passed by the territory of the troika (Belinda family) - everything is also green, but somehow neglected. During our vacation, almost no one lived there, the tractor brought very few people for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. On the territory of the main pool with a children's section, a children's pool with 2 slides and a pool with 3 adult slides. The pools were regularly cleaned and water samples were taken every other day. There are a lot of sun loungers around the territory, they were always available. During our visit, the hotel was almost full. On the territory there is a hammam, sauna, hairdresser and gym. The wife used the services of a hairdresser and was satisfied. Also, on days when it was cloudy or it was raining, the wife and daughter went to the hammam to warm up. They liked it there. Beach towels are also issued in the hamam on a deposit of $ 10 per room, which are returned as you hand over the towels upon departure.
Replacement of each towel - 1 euro or 2 dollars.
The beach is not far from the hotel, the road to it with a small child took up to 5 minutes along an asphalt road past the new hotel, they are also going to build something on the other side. The beach is gorgeous, sand, 10 rows of awnings under which there are sun loungers. We came to the beach from 9 to 9.40 in the morning and always found 3 sunbeds nearby (of course, not on the first or third line, but further away). There is a beach fight on the beach that gives out mattresses. For a $1 tip, he brought us mattresses himself. The sea was very warm, around 27 degrees, before our departure it became a little cooler - about 25 degrees. Entry into the water is sand, 20 meters is quite shallow, so the beach is ideal for children. Buoys are located far from the coast - about 100 meters. The water is clear and clean. Sometimes in the afternoon it was murky near the shore. There are a lot of fish, which some vacationers feed with bread, because the fish stay near the shore.
There is a bar on the beach where you can have a bite to eat at lunchtime, we dined there a couple of times. Our daughter sleeps during the day, so after dinner they always went to sleep in the room, leaving all things, towels, toys on the beach - nothing was missing. To sum up - for the sake of such a beach it is worth going to this particular area of Side, the sea here is in full credit.
Along the beaches of all hotels in the area there is a promenade, it has exercise equipment, playgrounds. In the evening, everything is illuminated and watered. In the direction of Side we went to the bridge, in the direction of Evrenseki quite far, beyond the bridge. From the bridge it was possible to observe large and small turtles. Also, every day we went to a beach snack restaurant located in the direction of Side near a wooden bridge - we drank fresh juices there, sometimes we bought ice cream for our daughter. The visitors to this establishment were mostly Germans. I really liked the promenade.
My daughter went to the miniclub several times, painted with sand, just painted, baked cookies. She liked it.
Also, almost every evening I went to a children's disco, sometimes I stayed with my mother for evening animation. Well done animators, Vlad - hello. On the beach, the animators invited to play boccia and beach volleyball - there were always those who wanted to. The animators liked it.
The staff is friendly and you can see that they are trying hard. Some know a little Russian, they are happy when you address them in Turkish. The only exception - the waiters in the main restaurant - they brought drinks only to the Germans. In a word - as you are to people, so they are to you. Tipping was never left in the restaurant, as there was nothing for it.
The weather during our vacation pleased, it was hot during the day, above +30, at the end of the rest it rained for a couple of days, this almost did not affect the temperature of sea water.
The food was also completely satisfying, there was always plenty to choose from, everything was fresh. For a hotel in this price range, the food is excellent. There was always plenty of fruit.
There was always meat for lunch and dinner, sometimes (every other day or two) there was grilled fish. We always found something to eat for us and how to feed our daughter. We drank mineral water with lemon, tea and my wife drank coffee with milk from a machine, my daughter enjoyed drinking cocoa from a machine. We often ate gozleme and drank ayran - excellent as always. In shops near the hotel, they bought juices for their daughter, carry them, and also mineral water for themselves. In Migros in Manavgat, they bought kefir for their daughter, she drank it every day at dinner. I repeat once again - for the money that we paid for the rest, the food completely satisfied us, although I note that it will be problematic to feed very young children (up to 2 years old).
Near the hotel in Evrenseka (leave the hotel and go straight to the road) - shops with various goods, pharmacies, there are several jewelers and a leather store. Prices are higher than in Kumkoy, many do not want to bargain.
If you leave the hotel, turn right across the bridge and along the dirt road (although it may not be there anymore - when we were resting there, the road was being repaired) about 700 meters you will find yourself in the village of Kumkoy. There are an order of magnitude more stores, more choice, lower prices and better bargaining. Very good shoes and knitwear.
During our vacation, 2 times after a daytime sleep, when it was cloudy and did not want to go to the beach, we took a minibus (stop near the hotel, travel 1.5 euros or 2 dollars one way per adult, children are free) to Manavgat, go 30 minutes, - tried to find an amusement park there, but it turned out that it was out of season and it did not work. We had a good walk, shopped at LC Waikiki, and also went to Migros 2 times - we bought drinks for our daughter, and home - sweets, vacuum-packed olives, halva and olive soap. One day, when it was cloudy, we went to Side right in the morning, wandered through the ruins, visited the marina, my daughter really liked it, just like us.
I advise everyone to visit the excavations in Side. The fare was 1 euro per adult one way. Minibus stop in Side in the same place as in Manavgat. By dinner we returned to the hotel and after a day's sleep, as every day when there was no rain, we went to the sea.
A trip to this hotel cost us 1950 dollars for 2 weeks for 3 people from Kyiv. I believe that the hotel fully justified its price. And yes, we had a great time. Will we return to this hotel - I don’t know, there will be finances - we will choose a hotel for more pomp, will we return to Evrenseki - definitely yes, because of the beach, the sea and the promenade.
To sum up - this hotel is very suitable for families, including those with small children (from 2 years old, otherwise you will have to solve the issue of food, there is no children's table), given that this is an economy class four, one of the cheapest in Side . I am happy to answer questions about the hotel.
Have a nice holiday everyone.
