Отличный отель Excellent hotel

Just got back from the Side Breeze Hotel yesterday. We went with my mother and daughter 17 years old from the Pegasus company, whose work I rate at five. Transfer, excursions at a very decent level. Hotel guide Ruslan is always at the hotel, so you can find him at any time.
We arrived very early. At 6.05 we were already in Antalya. Everything went by very quickly. We got on the bus and off we went. At 8.15 we were already at the hotel. It took 45 minutes from the airport by minibus. At the reception, they immediately put on bracelets and sent us to breakfast. After the meal, we approached the manager, he said that he would try to give a room before 13.00. We sat down at the reception for a drink. About an hour later he called us and gave us the keys to the room. That is, at 11.00 we were already settled, no one extorted money.
Number.

We were given a room on the top floor, what other reviews called "Carlson's house". We really liked it there. The room is quite spacious, there is a lot of space even with three beds. As extra. place used folding chair, comfortable. Everything is clean in the room, nothing is peeled off anywhere, the furniture is in good condition, the laminate on the floor too. Everything in the bathroom worked great. The shower was attached to the wall to death, but it did not cause problems, because. his head is spinning. The bathroom is not very spacious, but do not dance there. There were shampoos and gel upon arrival, but we did not use them, so no one delivered them to us. Liquid soap topped up properly. There is a hair dryer, quite powerful. Towels were changed every day. We did not notice any spots on them, they were always snow-white. The room has a TV with three Russian channels, a safe (for an additional fee of $ 2 per day), a mini-bar (on arrival water, cola, fanta, sprite, mineral water with gas, then only 1.5-liter bottles of water) , ind. air conditioner. The closet in the hallway is very spacious with lots of hangers.
Nutrition.
Solid five! Very diverse, always immediately add what ends. Absolutely everything is delicious. The only thing, objectively evaluating the food, I will say that there is a lot of spicy food. For me and my family, this is a huge plus. But you can always find something closer to the diet, and for the kids there is a small buffet. The food is all fresh, the choice of meat is very large, and chicken, and turkey, and beef, and even gave lamb several times. The chefs at the hotel are very good. Everything is delicious, decorated very nicely. There are a lot of sweets, fruits are also in abundance. There were always watermelons, melons, apples. For dinner and lunch, pears, plums, peaches, bananas, and grapes were added. All fruits were ripe. On the beach for lunch, it's always the same: french fries, hamburgers (you make it yourself from the ingredients), there were shawarma several times, several types of sausages, meatballs, salads, some fruit, ice cream is given on time both on the beach and by the pool. You won't die of hunger, for gourmets - go to the main restaurant.
Several times for dinner there were themed evenings (Chinese cuisine, Italian, Turkish). I won't say much about alcohol. We drank beer - decent, not like water, and white wine - really enjoyed it. We tried pink and it didn't work. We didn’t drink anything stronger, it’s very hot. Apparatuses with "juices" such as UPI and soda are at the reception, in the pool bar and in the restaurant. There's also coffee and tea.
Territory.

Very compact, beautiful, well-groomed absolutely everything. All the bushes and grass are trimmed, the flowers are planted, the trees are watered. There are two pools. One right next to the restaurant, it is better to take the sunbeds early. We found the second pool two days after arrival, but we are not alone. Although it is not hidden at all, it is just that people see a healthy pool and decide that this is it. There are few people in that pool, there are fewer sunbeds, there is a sunshade and several umbrellas. The water in the pools is very comfortable in temperature, it smells strongly of bleach. They change it properly. In the morning, the uncle cleans the bottom of both pools every day. There is an indoor pool and spa. Prices are not hefty. The child went to the hammam procedure, foam massage, mask, etc. - agreed on $40, although the price list is 59 euros. Daughter liked everything. Instead of the promised 50 minutes, they did it for almost 1 hour and 20 minutes.
Animation.
Excellent. For ten days of our stay, there was never a repeat. 2 times evening shows were put on by animators (we tore our tummies when choosing a couple of hotel and miss hotel. Russians won both times), the rest of the days there were invited artists. The level is very good. I didn’t particularly like the show of Chinese acrobats, it looked like students from the Chinese Institute of Physical Education were performing. Although they tried very hard. During the day, animators also work, but not to fanaticism, there is shooting from a gun, and darts, and water polo, and aerobics, and dancing lessons, etc.
Staff.
In previous reviews, I was surprised to read about the discrimination of Russians in relation to the Germans. In fact, I was very surprised, we didn’t notice anything like that, let alone experienced it ourselves. The waiters in the restaurant came up immediately, cleaned immediately, we became friends with many. They honestly try to learn Russian, we tried to help them with this. The maid ran all the time in the morning to clean up to us, although there were a lot of Germans on the floor, to whom she could burst in at 3 o'clock in the afternoon. I just asked her with a smile about it, and, accordingly, a dollar was left on the bed every day. Cleans without fanaticism, but more or less clean. At the reception, the attitude is very friendly, the animators too. Although we were surprised by the fact that many of the servants, in principle, do not even understand English, but my daughter has school German - that was enough for us. Everyone there speaks German. In bars, they pour strictly in turn, although the Germans are trying to climb impudently.
The location of the hotel in relation to the beach.

We always walked along the river, it's not so hot to walk between the trees. The journey took us about 10 minutes. This is not the first line, as tour operators write. We walked along the fence of the neighboring hotel, which stands almost on the promenade. The road is not stressful at all. Turtles come in the morning (They can be found near the bridge. Funny. They don’t eat bread, fish pounce on it). Then you need to turn right near the bridge and walk another 150-200 meters along the promenade to the Side Breeze sign.
Now about the beach.
This is the only thing I didn't like. The beach strip is very wide, the rows of sun loungers were no more than 1/3 occupied, the rest is always free. Canopies protect well from the sun. But... , the sunbeds are very far from the sea. In the morning this is not critical, but after 11 this is a strong concern. Running to the entrance to the sea on hot sand, even in slippers, is not an occupation for the faint of heart. And it's good to run. The entrance to the sea is more than gentle. You go, you go, and everything is knee-deep. The depth for swimming from the coast is very far. The water in the sea is opaque due to floating sand. Its suspension is always present, even in the early morning, when there are few people. And when the people are pulling up, I immediately remembered the Crimea of ​ ​ the Soviet era, no water is visible, only heads. It was not easy to wash swimwear from the sand afterwards. Due to the shallowness of the water, it is very warm, it seemed that you were swimming, sorry, in a jar with fresh analysis. Why people praise Side so much is completely incomprehensible. I personally like the sea more in the Kemer region. But the taste and color... For small children there, of course, paradise. We have replaced the sea with a pool.
In general, the holiday was a success. Highly recommend Side Breeze Hotel.
