Everything is OK with us, we like everything, the food is delicious, all the staff are very kind, it is clear that they are trying very hard. It turns out the hotel has just opened, we stopped first. There are few vacationers so far (there is another Russian-speaking family besides us), the staff does not speak Russian, and some do not even speak English), but it’s even more interesting.

From Antalya airport to the hotel about 50 minutes (with 15 minutes stop). Briefly about the airport (no wi-fi free, poor lighting, strange passport control, poor inspection of luggage on the tape (doubtful security), as in St. Petersburg the inspection was 100%, and in general, unsympathetic and not memorable on the good side).

From Antalya airport to the hotel about 50 minutes (with 15 minutes stop).
Briefly about the airport (no wi-fi free, poor lighting, strange passport control, poor inspection of luggage on the tape (doubtful security), as in St. Petersburg the inspection was 100%, and in general, unsympathetic and not memorable on the good side).
The tour was purchased from "TEZ TOUR" for 2 people 10 days before departure.
Transfer without claims in both directions.
Arrival at 8-9 am, check-in only from 14-00. We were personally seated exactly at the appointed time. There is a room for luggage, and it was left there, and we, having changed from autumn to summer, began to explore the hotel and the surrounding area. The first thing you should be prepared for is that the reception staff speaks Turkish and German. Only a nice man speaks English (it's a pity we didn't remember his name, as he helped us a lot). The woman, on the other hand, is very unfriendly, uninterested in helping the client, pretending that she does not understand you, and so on.
They gave us room 5204 (this is the 2nd floor of the European building near the second pool and amphitheatre). Initially, we were not happy, because it was noisy and there was a bar nearby. However, there are pros and cons. Balcony overlooking the bar and amphitheatre. DON'T HAVE TO GO TO ALL THE PERFORMANCES))). There is an elevator. There is a modest sports hall in the building.
The room is spacious, cons: the bed is separate (two are shifted together, at night it all the time diverged in different directions). The linen is clean and white. 2 towels per person. The cover for shelter, like earlier waffle towels, did not bother me personally. There were blankets in the closet. Curtains dirty, dusty, stained. The closet is big, lots of hangers. There is a small refrigerator. It turns out that there should have been a kettle, we found out about this upon eviction, because the employees did not find it (maybe they decided that they took it with them, but our surprise was visible on their faces....). In the bathroom - shower gel, liquid soap and shampoo. Toothbrushes, air freshener, bathrobes - no.
Laminate floor in the room and tile in the hallway.
The door to the balcony closes and the soundproofing is 3+ - 4. It's hard to say about cleaning, maybe they asked only once. the rest of the time there was a sign to not disturb. The maid is nice, because she asked her several times for bathroom accessories, because they didn’t ask for cleaning. The safe is paid, we did not take it. Nothing is missing. The Internet is very bad, sometimes it didn’t catch from the bed, you need to go to the balcony and catch it. In principle, the photos correspond to reality. The restaurant is large, clean, the staff is friendly, the cleaning is timely. The food is fresh, a lot of greens, cheeses, sauces, delicious meat (chicken, beef) in different versions. There was fish every day (whole and fillet). several times there was red fish (fillet). Juice in the morning for 1.5 euros (delicious), payment on departure from the hotel. The rest of the juices are yuppies. we don't drink. Tea is delicious, coffee is sour. Lots of baked goods. From alcohol - beer is not bad, probably non-alcoholic. Wine red pleasant, dry. White and rosé wines - I didn't like them. We did not dare to drink strong alcohol, but all the vacationers drank (both in the form of quick cocktails and clean ones).
The territory is small, but clean, well-groomed, green. Lots of cats. Two entrances to the hotel: central and from the beach (there is a shower for washing feet from the sand).
The road to the beach is about 5 minutes, easy and disappointing. Exit to the alley, and there are already numerous participants of the hotels. Food on the beach (greens, pastries (pizza), meat, fruits). Lots of tables, lots of sunbeds. There were no problems. There is a beach bag in the room. They provide beach towels (change per day). It is better to swim away from the sun loungers (go through 2-4 hotels to the right, as "waste and drains" come from the river) - the water is therefore polluted, although it is clear.
In general, the hotel is a good 4.
About the operator's tour - they took excursions ($ 99 for 2 on the day of arrival at Demre - Mira - Kekkova - PERSONALLY MY OPINION - complete horror !!!! ! no history, no story... ). $99 - Green Canyon - sail on a ship, swim for 30 minutes, then eat, swim for 30 minutes and go home. That's all.

Just returned from this hotel! I still do not understand how this hotel can be so praised! I am not the first time in Turkey and I know what five stars are in Belek, Bodrum!!! ! Side Breeze Hotel - a stretched FOUR!! ! Photos posted on the sites of tour operators do not correspond to reality! 1) We were settled almost at one o'clock (although we arrived at 9 am), and this was due to the fact that they simply stood over the soul of the Turk at the reception! 2) Housekeeping is terrible, towels and bedding were changed 1 TIME for the whole holiday!! ! And this is a 5 star hotel! 3) The beach is terribly dirty, they clean it every other time, the sunbeds are broken.

1) We were settled almost at one o'clock (although we arrived at 9 am), and this was due to the fact that they simply stood over the soul of the Turk at the reception!
2) Housekeeping is terrible, towels and bedding were changed 1 TIME for the whole holiday!! ! And this is a 5 star hotel!
3) The beach is terribly dirty, they clean it every other time, the sunbeds are broken. Plastic bottles, cans, etc. are scattered everywhere.
4) Now we have reached the dining room (I can’t call it a restaurant). At rush hour, it’s better not to go out for dinner, firstly, there are no places, and secondly, this dining room is not designed for the number of people that are resting there. Napkins are almost never on the tables. The staff is not good at clearing the tables.
5) The pools are small, there are no places near them. the area of the hotel is very small.
6) Animation is designed only for the Germans.
For those who are accustomed to a certain comfort, I do not recommend this 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.

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.

The first, biggest (and perhaps only) disappointment that awaited us on the day of our arrival at this hotel was that it is located on the SECOND coastline, and not on the first, as it is written on the operators' websites and in many reviews. I don’t know how it happened, either unexpectedly a whole huge hotel (Seher Resort & Spa) was built between the Side Breeze hotel and the sea, or the operators are simply deliberately deceiving tourists, but the fact remains that the Side Breeze hotel is located on the second line and it is separated from the sea not only by the promised 260 meters of a footpath “along the picturesque canal with turtles”, but also by the road between the hotels and the road along the beach along the beaches of the Seher Resort & Spa and Grand Hotel Seker until you reach your patch of beach line.

No, the road to the beach didn’t bother us at all, it’s probably even useful to walk 1 km in one direction, it’s just that the very fact of deception was very disappointing. When choosing a hotel, we deliberately looked only at the first line, ignoring the second or third, and that's how we "got caught". Right now I am reviewing the photos of the hotel on the operator's websites and it seems to me that some of them smell of photoshop... especially those that show both the hotel and the sea at the same time. It is not true. The sea from this hotel is only visible from the roof and from the balconies of the top floor, standing on tiptoe.
In general, the rest and the hotel left a positive impression. Turkish Airlines flew on schedule, they checked us into the hotel quickly, despite the early arrival, on the day of departure we managed to extend the room until the evening for an extra charge of € 35, the room was quite good, although the Swing function did not work in the air conditioner and it blew on the bed , and not on top, but these are trifles. Room cleaning and linen change is regular, regardless of whether we left a tip or not. A change of beach towels costs €0.5, the first time they are issued free of charge. The mini-bar in the room upon arrival contained a set of all sorts of Fant and Coca-Cola local spills, every day they added 1.5 liters to a bottle of drinking water. There is a safe in the room, with a digital code, for a fee of €1.5 per day (I just can’t understand why they take money from us for using the safe in the room, apparently this is the tradition).
The hotel consists of 3 buildings, judging by the fact that the numbering of the buildings does not start from No. 1, but from No. 5, the conclusion suggests itself that the hotel spun off from some other hotel, I didn’t go into details of the history, I’m not interested. Buildings No. 6 and No. 7 are a single whole, they house a restaurant, a reception, a spa, a conference room and a single store. Building No. 5 is located 50 meters from the main building, between buildings 5 and 6 there is a theater, a bar and a disco. All buildings have elevators. There are 3 pools on the territory of the hotel - 2 with a depth of 1.4 m, 1 with a depth of 1.1 m / 0.4 m, it has 2 large slides. The Spa has Turkish (we were offered for $40) and Finnish (free) baths and an excellent cool pool 1.4 m deep. There is no children's slide in the pools, although some operators have them in the photo; the hotel has two "dry" children's slides in the playground.
In general, the hotel (and the nearest shops and shops) is imprisoned for the Germans. Everyone here speaks German well, not everyone speaks English badly, almost no one speaks Russian. If you speak only Russian, the Pegasus guide sits in the hotel lobby all daylight hours, he will probably be able to help you, we did not contact him, using English. Prices in shops in the area are in euros everywhere, so if you are going to this area, IMHO it makes sense to bring euros with you, not dollars, because. Turks-sellers strive to transfer from euros to dollars at favorable rates.
Beach. The fact that it takes 10 minutes to walk, I have already said. The beach itself occupies a coastline of only about 30 m, all sunbeds are under a canopy, it is forbidden to take them out into the sun. The beach is sandy, the entrance to the sea too. The entrance to the sea is very gentle, so the beach is very good for children, but bad for long-distance swimmers, because. shallow for a long time, the buoys are quite close to the shore, and swimming beyond them is not only forbidden, but is fraught with getting hit by a scooter or some banana carrier, which continuously barrage along the line of buoys. Yes, due to sand, waves and a large number of tourists, the water in the sea from about 10 o'clock until sunset is a muddy water-sand suspension.
Nutrition. There is nothing bad to say here. If you really find fault and painstakingly compare with other hotels, you can find some shortcomings, which is better in other hotels, but in general, everything is very good with food, both in the main restaurant and on the beach. Juice, as in most hotels, powdered, freshly squeezed juice was only for breakfast, only orange, for € 2 per glass. I didn’t see Turkish coffee, perhaps because I didn’t look for it, the coffee in the vending machines was disgusting, but even I liked the tea in the restaurant and on the beach, although I usually don’t drink tea in principle. We didn’t take local alcohol in the bars, having prudently visited Duty Free beforehand, the beer in Efes Pilsen kegs was quite good, it is poured in the lobby around the clock on its own.
Animation. The websites say "unobtrusive". In fact, none. We did not need it, but if you want to be entertained, choose another hotel. Even what we saw out of the corner of our eye on the beaches and playgrounds of the nearest neighboring hotels was better than in Side Breeze.
In general, I liked the rest, despite some of the shortcomings described above, but I will not go to this hotel again, and I will not recommend it to my friends (again, in the light of the above).
In general, the rest and the hotel left a positive impression. Turkish Airlines flew on schedule, they checked us into the hotel quickly, despite the early arrival, on the day of departure we managed to extend the room until the evening for an extra charge of € 35, the room was quite good, although the Swing function did not work in the air conditioner and it blew on the bed , and not on top, but these are trifles. Room cleaning and linen change is regular, regardless of whether we left a tip or not. A change of beach towels costs €0.5, the first time they are issued free of charge. The mini-bar in the room upon arrival contained a set of all sorts of Fant and Coca-Cola local spills, every day they added 1.5 liters to a bottle of drinking water. There is a safe in the room, with a digital code, for a fee of €1.5 per day (I just can’t understand why they take money from us for using the safe in the room, apparently this is the tradition).

We rested from July 19.2012 with a girlfriend and children of 8 years old. We didn’t even imagine that such a superb vacation would turn out! We and the children were satisfied. The room was chic, with good furniture, cleaning was 5+ every day. The staff is very friendly, friendly, she responds to any requests with pleasure, and without knowing the Russian language! There were no problems with food, everything was meat and fish, and fruits.

Of course, not on the first line, but it’s even useful to walk for 10 minutes. Both the kids and us liked the animation, various show programs, in general, you won’t be bored! I advise this hotel to both young people and children.

Rested from 12 to 20 July. We rested with Pegasus, immediately many thanks to the hotel guide Igor, who was always there and always prompted.
In order.
We arrived at about 12 o'clock, checked in, Igor immediately offered to go to a restaurant while the room was being prepared. returned, immediately received the keys and the young man took us to room 5402. Yes, 4th floor, yes. like Carloson's house, but we even liked it) The view from the window to the pool and a fragment of the amphitheater, but if you stand on the stuuuuulchik, you can easily see a piece of the sea, very nice)
The weather was great: up to +45 in the afternoon, in the evening, if it dropped to +30, they joked among themselves: "Oh, it got cold! ". It’s hot during the day, yes, but this heat doesn’t bother, only once there was a moment when I didn’t want to go out, and then, these are the first couple of days, while acclimatization, so and so... Turkey is always warm, and even in the heat do not pay attention: a hat, sunblock, glasses and most importantly, a good company, and everything will be just super!
The room is small, but clean, tidy, there are no complaints about the room: a mini-bar, where only one and a half drinks of drinking water are brought daily, and standard soda in small bottles upon arrival, the air conditioner worked perfectly. We cleaned our conscience, once we were stolen (by mistake, I think) a bucket from the bathroom, so a couple of minutes later the maid came running and returned it with apologies. In Russian they do not understand, in English you can agree. Tips were almost never left, so, a couple of times it happened, I agree that this did not affect the quality in any way.
Nutrition. Good, varied. I was very pleased with the assortment of fruits - everything is ripe and sweet, last year we went a little later, but the fruits did not please us, but here everything was very cool. Many complain about the lack of meat in Turkey, here we did not encounter this, rather, on the contrary - there was a lot of meat, and lamb, and veal, and chicken, and pork, and turkey ...
I treat meat evenly, but the lamb roll was amazing) Very tasty country-style potatoes, rice, we got to the fish evening, everything was very tasty! I was a little embarrassed by some strange shrimp in a salad, I took it several times, some watery and undersalted... I do not recommend it. My favorite sweets were disappointing: I probably tried everything that was, but I didn’t find “the most delicious”, delicious, not bad, but nothing more... such that it’s straight, “Oh, I’ll burst, but I’ll eat another piece ! ! ! " did not have. For the first time I tried jam in jars - you know, it's very cool. I liked it with roses and orange, you really feel the real taste, and not additives, as in similar jams. Always delicious, fresh pastries: they came at 2 in the morning, but as if it had just been baked! Appetizers are good, salads are different, in all their diversity, fresh vegetables, olives only with pits (for an amateur, but not mine).
I was very pleased that you can eat on the way from the disco, that is, at 2 am. Zhor woke up unreal after a 3-4-hour non-stop, snacks, sandwiches, teas came at the right time)
Russian-German contingent. Poles, Czechs, French, English are slightly encountered... In the early days it was very annoying: everywhere German speech was very rude by ear, brrrr... as in an anedote about Stirlitz: "I wake up, the Germans are all around, the enemies are all around. " But no, everything is smooth, no one interfered with anyone, they sit quietly for themselves, you quietly hang out for yourself, everything is fine. There are a lot of Russian Germans: before the county, I met wonderful couples, sat all day: naaashi, Russians, just live and work in Germany. Great guys)))
Staff. Yes, they hardly speak Russian. But the school level of English was quite enough to explain. In extreme cases - welcome to Igor, he will always help. Polite, courteous, unobtrusive.
They call me for a walk) But, I think, it’s not worth it) And just like young boys from the reception call girls, so adults such uncles call those who are older than 25-30) Cute, romantic (I wrote to me on the phone in the address bar when I set up the Internet , and notes, straight out of the way). BUT, girls, this is a different country, politely refuse and do not become an enemy of the people, as a rule, after a polite refusal they no longer hint, but of course you need to behave normally . . well, digression) The Internet is free in the lobby to use: in a registration window pops up in the browser, where the first line is the room number, the second is the passport number (along with a series, 9 digits are obtained) and use it to your health! Igor warned that for free only "good sites", that is, for 18+, as I understand it, you can specifically get there. Vkontakte, Facebook, search engines, Skype - verified, free.
Territory. Compact, cozy, there is where to sit, lie down, stand, dance.
The promised first line was a little disappointing, but this is nonsense: with such an abundance of food, walks are simply necessary) The pools are not bad, but one was enough for me, and then, almost before leaving, they danced on a surfboard belly dance)) It was great, I will remember it for sure))) I tried the water slides almost in front of the county, they are cool, but somehow rather weak: the kids may be fine, but the older ones already have to “row up”, otherwise you won’t slide down))) Although it was even amused)
Turkish sauna. Honestly, I went down to the spa only once for towels, things didn’t go any further) This year we decided to go to the center from a tour operator, in principle, we didn’t regret it: it turned out cheaper and worthy in terms of quality. Many recommended the hotel spa, but many also complained, so decide for yourself, an amateur.
The beach is good. The only drawback is that they are not allowed to take sunbeds to the sea. They can be understood.
of course, they pull it out, and then they take it to its places, but it's still not very convenient. The sunbeds are parallel to the sun, that is, getting a tan evenly is a problem (in order to tan evenly, you need to lie with your feet to the sun), but this is already a territorial location, you can't do anything, although as an option - unfold the sunbeds and put them in the aisle. The place remains for the passage, but it is not beautiful in relation to other tourists, so it’s not worth it) If you are traveling with children, I definitely recommend this hotel, because the beach is quite small, it is very convenient with children. However, diving enthusiasts will not stand aside - masks, snorkels, fins in hand and go! Near the bay, a very beautiful place for photo shoots and walks, in the evening there is a very beautiful sunset! Unlike Kemer, here the sun sets later, as the mountains are further from the coast.
I repeat: sooooo beautiful beach) How do you get settled in the hotel, take your camera in your hands and take pictures faster, and don’t put it off until the last day, like me for example) On the way to the beach, go along a very picturesque alley, also a favorite place for photographers, so take it to note)
Animaaaaaation .... Ohhh, animation) On the very first day on the volleyball court, get acquainted (well, and play, as it were)) On the beach, a volleyball player-bocchio-long-talking-girls-kadrist but overall a wonderful little man Alejandro) Cool, but touchy out of the blue, speaks Russian, German, Turkish, even heard something French a couple of times. Interesting guy, only with him practically and communicated. Well, how did they communicate: they talked, he was offended, reconciled, he was offended, they danced, he was offended . .
well, it happens, yes) Girls, don’t hang your ears too much, for the future it’s like that) Besides, he seems to have a girlfriend, ours, Russian, like Anechka too))) show, and steers the rest of the animators. girls-animators from the mini-club Sofia and Diana. Diana is somehow subconsciously not very well associated with me, I don’t know, maybe she’s a good person, but for some reason I have some kind of negative towards her . . I don’t know, I didn’t communicate, really... And Sofia is very sweet, modest girl, I would trust my child. There were also Edie and Rolex, groovy cool guys, but I didn’t really talk to them: it’s like they were fired, I won’t spread it. On the 15th, the ranks of the animators were replenished with the good guy Ali: in Russian, quite a bit, but in English / German one can understand each other.
Also a good, kind, modest, sympathetic guy, wrote down his coordinates before leaving, but lost a piece of paper bliiiiin = (guys who go, throw me his address on Facebook, I would be happy to talk to him) about the show directly... I was very surprised the fact that almost all the shows were organized by invited artists: dancers, acrobats, a guy and a girl from Belarus, who performed live songs familiar to everyone in different languages (there were classic compositions, and novelties, and Rihanna, and Lambada, and even Mama Lyuba. How she admitted that Russians rarely perform, only if ordered through animators.
So I came up with Shurik, he agreed with the main one and Mama Lyuba was for us - the Russians were delighted)))), there were two shows organized by the team itself in my memory: a comedy show, that is, five humorous sketches, apparently they are in in general, the same for all hotels, but two were new for me, and it was very cool to see the old ones in a different version; and there was a Miss Breeze contest, that is, Miss Hotel: I took part, I really liked it))) but the laurels of the championship were received (absolutely deserved! ! ! ) by a grandmother from Germany! Grandma is amazing! We rocked together with her, even when everyone else was sitting, she's just a hurricane, so energetic, so positive!! !
I wish I could be the same at her age))) A couple of times the evening began with a disco near the amphitheater and a pool bar: a lambada sounds and the guests dance-dance-dance together with the animators) I really liked it) Every day there were discos in the disco bar (entrance next to the amphitheater stage), cool, light music, accompaniment, the hall itself is excellent, DJ Altu is smart, but early staaaaaal: for about 2, and sometimes for about an hour, he waved his arms, they say, I'm sorry, Annie, I want to sleep, I'm tired) disco not numerous, a couple of times they got there, which was about 15 people, the rest of the time less. There was a moment that even one danced - well, what, there’s no one, but you want to dance, it happens, well, well) the next day there were already two of us))) The music is cool, but every evening it’s the same, in the end you already know the sequence songs, not so much...
But I liked it, really) If you want, every Saturday a trip to Manavgat to a club with a foam party is organized, they go to Side... That is, the cultural program is quite variable according to your desire) You can even take a taxi (the stop is nearby) and go shopping, in club where you want)
About the shops. Out on the road, retail outlets stretch to the left and right, choose. I advise you not to stock up right away, but to go to the end: the same things can be found much cheaper. Follow the quality. No matter how they say that the factory and “super quality”, check: the seams, the lines, and the threads stick out. If satisfied, you can tap out a good discount. They are bargaining with the Russians, no matter how they cry “friend, you will ruin me! ”, they even like it, for this we, Russians, are loved there. Prices are high, it is quite possible to throw off twice.
Prices are mainly in euros, it is still designed for Europeans, but they are easily converted into dollars, in places it seems even into rubles and hryvnias.
Summarizing. An excellent hotel for both families and young people. The food is something for everyone. In terms of entertainment, it depends on the mood: if you came to rest, then you will have a blast on the hotel territory, like me, for example)) In the end, they began to call me an animator, because I was always and everywhere, and I chat a lot) In principle, if you are looking for a “safe haven” for a calm and quiet holiday according to the scheme of eating, sleeping, sunbathing, you will be very, very comfortable here: the animation is really unobtrusive, they won’t push you and pull you to play water polo or volleyball, I assure you) whatever it is, it's worth a try! Have a good rest, everyone, who will go, big hello to the animators, and especially Alejandro from "GodMyAnechka")))
And who rested with me together, I will be glad to talk with you))))

But I liked it, really) If you want, every Saturday a trip to Manavgat to a club with a foam party is organized, they go to Side... That is, the cultural program is quite variable according to your desire) You can even take a taxi (the stop is nearby) and go shopping, in club where you want)
About the shops. Out on the road, retail outlets stretch to the left and right, choose. I advise you not to stock up right away, but to go to the end: the same things can be found much cheaper. Follow the quality. No matter how they say that the factory and “super quality”, check: the seams, the lines, and the threads stick out. If satisfied, you can tap out a good discount. They are bargaining with the Russians, no matter how they cry “friend, you will ruin me! ”, they even like it, for this we, Russians, are loved there. Prices are high, it is quite possible to throw off twice.
Prices are mainly in euros, it is still designed for Europeans, but they are easily converted into dollars, in places it seems even into rubles and hryvnias.
Summarizing. An excellent hotel for both families and young people. The food is something for everyone. In terms of entertainment, it depends on the mood: if you came to rest, then you will have a blast on the hotel territory, like me, for example)) In the end, they began to call me an animator, because I was always and everywhere, and I chat a lot) In principle, if you are looking for a “safe haven” for a calm and quiet holiday according to the scheme of eating, sleeping, sunbathing, you will be very, very comfortable here: the animation is really unobtrusive, they won’t push you and pull you to play water polo or volleyball, I assure you) whatever it is, it's worth a try! Have a good rest, everyone, who will go, big hello to the animators, and especially Alejandro from "GodMyAnechka")))
And who rested with me together, I will be glad to talk with you))))

The hotel is excellent, the cleanliness of the territory and the quality furniture are amazing. The rooms are cleaned daily, the service is polite, almost no one understands Russian, but the great sign language and a little basic English solve all the problems. Food at 9 +++. Fruits are varied and always available (watermelons, melons, cherries, apples, apricots).

Food at 9 +++. Fruits are varied and always available (watermelons, melons, cherries, apples, apricots). Meat, fish dishes are always in two or three items. Pastries are bright, of course, always in the restaurant and plus on the beach and in the bar.
Why not 10 points? The answer is simple - there are no limits to perfection. And there is one inaccuracy in the characterization of the hotel - it is still not on the first coastline and to the sea there is a promenade of 500 meters along a shady path along a wonderful canal where large turtles and fish swim.
I am satisfied with everything. Thank you!

We rested in this hotel from 06/24/09 to 07/08/09. The fact that he stopped a month before my arrival speaks of his popularity, but not with us, but in Germany, England, Switzerland. Representatives of these countries in the hotel are approximately 85 percent, 10 percent are Turkish guests and several families from Russia.

We rested in this hotel from 06/24/09 to 07/08/09.
The fact that he stopped a month before my arrival speaks of his popularity, but not with us, but in Germany, England, Switzerland. Representatives of these countries in the hotel are approximately 85 percent, 10 percent are Turkish guests and several families from Russia. We arrived in the evening, the hotel was full. We asked to wait until the morning with our reserved standard, and settled in a two-room apartment overlooking the pool. As an apology for the "inconvenience" : ) they provided a free safe for the entire stay. The receptionist is very polite, but not speaking much in Russian. The hotel shines, "they scrub from morning until late at night" (at three in the morning I watched how they wash the territory with something foamy, clean the pools and water the grass. That's why the Germans love it, they are obsessed with cleanliness. The rooms are also all they shine. Linen is changed every other day, everything is new and snow-white. Towels are changed daily, also snow-white and not shabby.
Very nice waiters, always smiling, trying to speak Russian. The animators are trying, but about half of them are Germans, the other half are Turks. No one speaks Russian. sports events in English and German. Restaurant:
I would say everything is very worthy, but for me, it’s generally fine. There was always a lot of meat (chicken, turkey, beef, beef liver, lamb). then he came to the beginning of breakfast, someone to the middle, someone to the end) there were no queues in principle. Everything is decorous, polite. There is always a chef and someone from the management in the hall. the manager and the owner periodically makes a detour. The staff "rustles". Everything is clear - ice cream twice a day, second per second they start to give at 11-30 on the beach and 16-30 at the pool bar in the hotel). There are two or four types always. No limits, take as much as you like.
Afternoon snacks both on the beach and at the hotel by the pool, a large selection of pastries and fruits, tea, coffee, cola, and more.
Fruits of very good quality, there were always watermelon, melon, apples of two kinds, apricots, cherries every other day was on the beach and in the main restaurant, for lunch and dinner. Peaches, plums, figs less often, about 3 times a week.
Once every two or three days, themed dinners are held, and not only the menu matches the theme, but also the clothes of the waiters in the restaurant (on Turkish night, everyone in red T-shirts, sombreros and capes are dressed at a Latin dinner, in cowboy hats and with revolvers at dinner in western style, Asian dinner - everyone is in silk shirts in Asian tones). Always candles are lit on the tables at dinner, music is playing. Table service is impeccable, tablecloths are perfectly clean, they are changed for breakfast, lunch and dinner. production, always new sealed bottles (and not, as they wrote in the reviews, that "the owner pours water into used bottles, thus saving on water" - complete nonsense).
Baking is another story! Masterpieces. Who is interested, I will send a photo.
In general, the hotel is very nice. For the money it costs, service and food are at a high level. Beer is not diluted, which is already nonsense for Turkey! The owner cares about the reputation of the hotel among the Germans. cocktail party, though cocktails are paid, 2.5 euros each). But very beautiful! My child was delighted with the German animator Patrick! Children aged 12-15 "died" behind him!
Younger children "died" from the German animator Maya. They are super professionals and well done. Maya speaks Russian well, and Russian-speaking children went to the miniclub, received diplomas for competitions and participation in mini-disco.
The hotel is not boring!
Those who do not have high demands, I think will appreciate the hotel highly.
Once again, the hotel is for those who, without "show off" really want to have a great rest, for a reasonable price!

I was in Monacus during my 2nd trip to Turkey. When we went for the 1st time, it seemed that nekula was already better (the first time we went to Asrin Beach, 4 *). It turned out that it can, and much more. That year, Monacus opened for the first time for Russians, so most of the tourists were foreigners.

The entire staff is well-trained, the waiters walked almost in line and are always friendly.
As for accommodation, it was very cool: a parental bed and a bunk bed for me and my sister. Safe, telephone, hairdryer, TV, bar, in general, everything you need.
The food in the restaurant is also very tasty and varied.
