Вполне достойная "пятерка" Decent "five"

Were in Side Crown Srenity together with my wife. In Turkey - the 10th time, in Side - the 5th. We always choose hotels based on reviews on different sites. New hotels are attracted, but it is better to visit them in the second season after the opening (when the initial flaws have already been corrected). The Side region is liked because of the sandy beaches, although Kemer has more interesting views: mountains, greenery. As a rule, at the beginning of the activity, new hotels are relatively cheaper. This was noticeable in Aydinbey Kings Palace, after the second season, prices began to rise exorbitantly. Side Crown Serenity - quite a worthy "five", the staff is friendly, in Russian, as a rule, they understand, although German is the main one here. It’s understandable, the region is like that : -) The ticket was from Anex Tour, we didn’t meet with a hotel guide, all the talk about the mandatory mark of a voucher through a guide is nonsense, an info meeting is necessary for the guide to sell expensive excursions, we are already experienced and take excursions to agencies on the street. We try, only, to apply to large and well-known companies. We arrived at the hotel in the evening, they didn’t immediately give money for accommodation, but a few of my phrases in Turkish, apparently, had the desired effect: instead of the standard, they gave families with a view of the road and the sea. (The next day I thanked the receptionist with 10 dollars). Room with laminate flooring, free safe, minibar cooled very well (which is rare). Each room has a large LCD TV and individual air conditioning. Instead of a bath, a shower cabin with two showers: on a flexible hose and a wall-mounted large diameter - convenient! About the hotel: the territory is small, there is practically nowhere to walk, for this we went to the village. The pools always had free sunbeds. A little strained (psychologically) by a high wall blocking off the road. To the sea to go 10-12 minutes. across the road with rare traffic, there is also a shuttle that runs constantly. In practice, this is the third line, but this did not bother us. The beach is magnificent - wide, deserted, with low dunes, reminiscent of the native Curonian Spit. There were never any problems with places, sunbeds with a wicker net, no mattresses, which is really convenient. Beach bar is very decent, often dined there. The peculiarity of this bar: a huge baked potato with different fillings. Gozleme is cooked right there. In general, the food in this hotel is very good. . There was always fish, sometimes seafood, except for chicken and turkey, always beef, sometimes lamb. The sweet table could have been more interesting in terms of cakes, but the baklava for dinner was always there! Fruit varied and abundant. The waiters did not differ in excessive attention to us, they were constantly hovering around the Germans. It's quite normal, I'm not offended. If it was necessary to bring cutlery, napkins - addressed in Turkish, it always worked. Bottled wine is very good, which is a plus. I consumed alcohol in the form of a gin and tonic, so I can’t say anything about other strong drinks. Tea was in bags and in a teapot, it could be poured into armouts, which was also pleasing. At a dinner with seats, it could be tight, so they came around eight. Animation is mediocre, without a spark, went only once. The public in the hotel consisted mainly of Germans, there were a small number of Poles and other Europeans. Maybe 20 percent from Russia and the CIS. Also a certain percentage of Turks. There were not too many children. In general, the hotel is very calm, quiet in the evenings, maybe even a bit boring. You can walk in the village of Gundogdu, there is a large market, but it is also somehow quiet and there is no drive. I can recommend the Side Crown Serenity hotel for a relaxing relaxing holiday, the price-quality ratio is quite good.
