We were at the SIDE ALEGRIA HOTEL & SPA 5 * from October 13 to October 22.2018, a family of 3 people, husband, wife, daughter 16 years old, arrived in the morning, check-in as usual, had breakfast in almost all hotels at 14, looked around, as I I ordered the cheapest option, I already knew that I would live in a bungalow across the road, but so that this does not come as a surprise to you, see what is written in your hotel voucher. The type of room is clearly indicated in the voucher and if it is an Annex Room, then this is about what is said above and it is not standard and not sea view. Sea view and standard when pre-ordering is much more expensive than agreeing at the hotel, at the hotel it will be about 10-30 bucks, through the site in advance from 50 and above, so see for yourself. This is about accommodation. Plus, the bungalow where we were settled, these are two separate rooms, the child was happy, minus this is the passage across the road, although with not very active traffic.
Now for the overall feel of the hotel. The first impression when we arrived at the hotel was that we ended up in a boarding house, grandparents around, the hotel, frankly, is not for children, but for such a calm, measured rest. Also, this impression is enhanced by the absence of any animation, no, it seems to be there, but in fact it is only an evening show, as it were. You can’t find a drive, there is a disco on the beach at night, but after 23 a drink is paid.
The attendants are quite friendly, If we take the fact that when buying a ticket we pay for accommodation and meals, then we generally should not see the servants except in the bar, and in the bar he should pour you what you want and in general everything, but a good attitude towards you, so it depends only on you, do not go out of line, do not show hostility, do not breathe fumes and voila, a smile will appear on both them and you. True, I had to face non-professionalism in the bar on the beach, a young waiter came up to replace a more experienced one, and began to pour beer not along the edge of the tilted glass, but straight from the top, while pouring 90% of the foam, this became very clearly visible after pouring like this in a way, he quickly put a few glasses of beer on the counter with a satisfied look, they say what a fine fellow I am and began to wait for the people to sort it out, but at that moment there weren’t really many people and the foam settled showing the dishes filled somewhere by a third, and where even less . But this is so funny. The pluses or minuses of the hotel include the concern of the male part of the servants, my wife and I went to the beach at different times, I came early as a lark, she was an owl, she came up later, and every day I faced obsessive signs of southern attention, for me this is clearly a minus, for I'm sure of my wife too, but for single girls, maybe nothing would even seem like a plus. As for the cleaning in the rooms: it’s definitely there, I myself saw a vacuum cleaner and wiping furniture, but all the cleaning goes to waste after coming from the sea, the beach is sandy, no matter how you shake out the sand, it’s everywhere, I’m a young man, but the sand was falling off me from everywhere and the floors were constantly covered in dust, and so were the bedding. Everything seems to be here.

Beach. The beach is a real dream of a child, you can’t skin your legs, the sea is quite shallow, sunbeds are installed about fifty meters from the surf line, i. e. running, jumping, and just walking along the sea is just nice, and by the way, about a kilometer to the right along the beach there is a river with swans. Towels are issued once, if they are very dirty, they change for a dollar (they also have a crisis). There are always free sunbeds, there are not always free sunbeds that are right for you, when I came at any time I found a place for myself, I’m just not picky, my wife came a little later and said that there were no places at all, as a last resort, if you really need this a place and not some other place, come in the morning and take it, but take towels for yourself, just saw the picture two people came, put towels on two sunbeds, then took off their caps, glasses, and scattered it on neighboring sunbeds for all family friends, this I think it's bad manners. Dined also on the beach as the menu was very similar to the main restaurant.
The road to the beach requires a separate paragraph, for me it was a great help in the matter of fat burning, the length of about 300 meters was marked by a pedometer, after walking there five times already you can not go to the gym, and if you still polish the charm in the sauna and hamamchik, but not without minuses, of course, the road, let’s say not Broadway, is a simple single-track, and buses that carry tourists from hotels to the sea rush along it, the traffic is normal, you have to cuddle up to the bushes, it doesn’t seem to be particularly annoying, but I didn’t envy the drunks that he throws from side to side, generally dangerous. And so the path, even with its own color in the form of cats, there are probably 10 of them, tourists like to feed them, but the cats didn’t really like what they were fed.
Nutrition. Everything is simple here, if you are not waiting for papaya with passion fruit and quail stuffed with pineapple, then nothing will upset you here, potatoes, pasta, combined with lamb cutlets, and chicken pieces, well, this is in general, with some additions, with ordinary vegetables such as tomatoes, cucumbers, and the same ordinary fruits, such as grapes, apples, pears, were, in my opinion, tangerines, oranges and plums. In general, the optimal combination of proteins, fats and carbohydrates, eat less on vacation, move more and the figure will pleasantly surprise you upon arrival.
As for the Turks, they are now trying to make money on everything, even on such a trifle as extending the time of stay in the room, we left the hotel at 17-20 came up in a day to find out how much it would cost to extend it to 17 hours, the answer was this, we will extend the check-out time from 12 to 18 for 20 dollars, the next day I come to pay in the morning, and the receptionist changed, I have the same question, how much until 18 o’clock, this friend had a price tag of 40 bucks, I was indignant that the price had risen by 20 bucks overnight, and he not indignantly want to take up to 16 for 20, and up to 18 for 40 and a smile (curtain). In general, our guide was standing at the same time, she just shrugged her shoulders, Crisis, however.

To summarize, the hotel is not for relaxing in the hotel itself, but for living and feeding, there is no territory as such, I liked it solely because I know where to put my free time (walk around the sea, around the city, read a book, listen to the sound of waves in the evening ) all the negative people have on vacation from idleness and bust with food, some have a hangover, but this is my personal opinion.
