We chose the hotel on the recommendation of a travel agency and a beautiful picture. Reasonable price for the season. We arrived at the hotel at 5 am, at the reception they said that there were no places, but if you want a view of the pool, pay $ 30. Didn't pay, why? We waited for breakfast in the lobby, had breakfast, went to relax by the pool and wait for check-in.

We chose the hotel on the recommendation of a travel agency and a beautiful picture. Reasonable price for the season.
We arrived at the hotel at 5 am, at the reception they said that there were no places, but if you want a view of the pool, pay $ 30. Didn't pay, why? We waited for breakfast in the lobby, had breakfast, went to relax by the pool and wait for check-in. After dinner, they settled in a room with a view of the mountains, which is better, because there are no extraneous sounds (cars from the road, screams / music by the pool, mosques), so why pay?
The room is cozy, the bed is large, the bed is clean, but the ceiling and wall in the bathroom are flooded, so the light bulb over the washbasin did not work. She asked me to fix it, but everything remained as it is - it blinked constantly, apparently in no other way. The maid was friendly, cleaned well, replenished the mini-bar, changed towels.
Towels on the beach killed in stains, holes with an unpleasant smell.
The beach is clean sand, with sunshades and sunbeds in sufficient quantity. The sea is clean and warm. Transfer to the beach - a bus without windows with large cracks in the seats, but went regularly, the driver is attentive.
The restaurant has long queues for food, it is difficult to find a free table with a clean surface. There is a lot of meat, fish, vegetables, few fruits. On the last day, they were poisoned by something incomprehensible, so they didn’t take anything except mineral water.
The animation is very weak and primitive, more designed for children. Once there was a show program with a performance of a folk ensemble and karaoke, and so boring and despondent.
There was a misunderstanding with the guide, which is apparently practiced with all tourists. They asked where to buy souvenirs, sweets home, he promised us a free transfer to shopping, where we were deliberately taken to a jewelry store, a textile store, and then to a supermarket with unnecessary goods. As a result, we lost a lot of time and mood for the whole evening.

I chose this hotel as the best value for money. I considered options with Wi-Fi and delicious food - I did not lose. The check-in went well, I arrived and after 10 minutes I was already in the room, the room was nothing superfluous, a bed, a balcony, a minibar (4 bottles of water, 2 forfeits, 2 Pepsi of 330 ml - replenished every day).

I chose this hotel as the best value for money. I considered options with Wi-Fi and delicious food - I did not lose. The check-in went well, I arrived and after 10 minutes I was already in the room, the room was nothing superfluous, a bed, a balcony, a minibar (4 bottles of water, 2 forfeits, 2 Pepsi of 330 ml - replenished every day). There is a bus to the beach every 15 minutes from 8.40 to 18.30 (break from 12.00 to 12.30). At first I thought it was inconvenient, but as it turned out it is much more convenient than walking to the beach. You take a cocktail while you finished your drink and got on the bus and after 2 minutes you are already on the beach and also in the opposite direction - super! There is a decent cafe on the beach (50 tables) that has pizza, fries and most of the dishes that are served for lunch in the main dining room. From 11 to 16 I do gozlume. The beach bar has coffee, juices, beer and wine. For an additional fee, you can taste freshly squeezed juice. Freshly squeezed juice is paid in all bars, everything else is free. The beach is clean, comfortable sunbeds - minus that they are 25 meters from the water. Once I went to the sauna, I was not happy with the temperature of 75 degrees. Towels are changed on Monday, Wednesday, Friday. The hotel has 3 swimming pools, slides, sunbeds and 2 bars. From 13 to 16 free ice cream. Wild card restaurants Turkish and Italian paid 5 euros - was not. The animation in the hotel is very weak, competitions for children until 23, after that nothing is held, the main bar with cocktails is open until 24. A clothing market is a 15-minute walk from the hotel. In general, I was satisfied!

We got to Crown Sereniti by accident, there were no places in La Grande (Join Up, as always, excelled! ), and rested from May 14 to May 21.2018. And they didn't regret it at all. The room got 1312 on the third floor right above the reception, and it was a fat minus. Buses with tourists drive up every day and all night, the engines do not turn off, noise and rumble can be heard even with a closed balcony.

We got to Crown Sereniti by accident, there were no places in La Grande (Join Up, as always, excelled! ), and rested from May 14 to May 21.2018. And they didn't regret it at all.
The room got 1312 on the third floor right above the reception, and it was a fat minus. Buses with tourists drive up every day and all night, the engines do not turn off, noise and rumble can be heard even with a closed balcony. Tip: rooms should not be taken with a view of the surroundings (land). And yet, on this floor, a rather lazy maid cleans up, dirty dishes on a table near the elevators stood for a whole week. The towels were changed every day, but the bedding not once in a week. The bathroom and shower still washed well. She also stole a jacket I forgot when moving from one room to another.
The hotel has no territory at all, you can sit near the pools or the stage, but there is nowhere to walk, take a walk. The hotel is located almost on the outskirts of the village, there is nowhere to walk to the right; to the left, towards the center, a large clothing market, pharmacies, markets. Animation only for children, a couple of times there was an entertainment program.
Now the pros. Free Wi-Fi, free safe.
The room is bright, comfortable in content, everything is conveniently located, the beds are excellent, the linen is of good quality. The mini-bar was filled daily with mineral and drinking water, phantom and cola. They constantly put tea, coffee, cream in bags. Everything worked in the room, the shower with good pressure and water temperature regulation, the sewage system also worked well. The shower room had soap and shower gel + shampoo (2 in 1) in dispensers, disposable nail files, caps and ear sticks. The air conditioner worked quietly, all the time. The furniture in our room was old and in good condition. The balcony has a towel dryer, two plastic chairs and a table.
There were no queues in the restaurant, even in the morning for scrambled eggs or pancakes (maximum 2-3 people). Food tables are conveniently located. There were quite a lot of people, but somehow everyone was located in 4 rooms and on the terrace by the pools. Tablecloths are always clean and changed along with cleaning dishes. There are tables for 2.4 and 6 people. Furniture and upholstery are solid, but not pretentious colors, have a dull look.
There was always very fresh and varied greens (parsley, dill, cilantro, arugula, leafy salads), vegetables and fruits (watermelons, melons, apricots, bananas, medlar, apples, pears, tiny nectarines, kiwi, grapefruits, oranges and very sour plums ). There were Turkish delight, dried apricots, figs, raisins. Several types of cheeses, olives. Different salads from vegetables and combined (I did not take salads). From meat fried, steam and grilled: quail, turkey, chicken, beef. I took only beef tongue and grilled turkey, everything was deliciously cooked. But I ate fish, dorado, salmon and others unknown to me and fried and steam were super. Tuna was in any form, but I don’t like it, I didn’t take it. Once there were sushi and boiled crayfish. Delicious yoghurts and jams. Lots of pastries, but few types of delicious baklava. For breakfast, milk porridge: rice and oatmeal; pancakes and donuts were all edible, delicious. There were no freshly squeezed juices. In coffee machines (in the restaurant, and in the lobby bar, and in the beach bar) all day there was excellent natural coffee (espresso, latte, cappuccino, americano), a variety of tea bags. Always and everywhere you can take a bottle of drinking water. Ice cream was free of charge in the bar near the SPA from 15 to 17 hours very tasty, but the queues were regular, 5-6 people; released very slowly, and recruited more than one little thing.
And most importantly, the beach. I timed it, if you go to the sea - then 8 minutes, if you return, downhill - 12 minutes. But a calm, measured walk. Every 15-20 minutes there is a bus without windows going back and forth, very comfortable and not hot. Toilets on the beach are poorly cleaned, t / paper is often missing. The toilet, shower and changing cabins are located behind the bus stop in front of the beach bar (and it would be better vice versa), we had to use the facilities of the neighboring hotel. The beach bar is good, at lunchtime it’s quite possible to have a decent meal (and not a snack), gozleme is baked, but there is a queue behind them. Water, sprite, cola, beer, coffee, tea - in any quantity from 10 to 17. The beach is equipped with good awnings, comfortable sunbeds and in sufficient quantities. Garbage pots were not always cleaned in time and by the evening they were overflowing. We came to the beach at about 10 o'clock, and after lunch at 15 o'clock. (there are plenty of free sunbeds) and were located in the second row from the sea. There were always places on the first one, too, but there were mostly mothers with children. Practically 3-4 rows were occupied, the remaining half were only partially. From the sheds to the sea 15-20m. The sand is clean and orange. The entrance to the sea is gentle, after 5-7 m it is already possible to swim. Scooters, boats floated, but somehow they didn’t interfere, there was no smell from them and there were no rainbow stains either. The sea is amazing!!!
I will not give recommendations, the taste and color...., but I myself will go again with pleasure, I really liked the beach and the sea, for which I went.

The food is good, but because the hotel is densely populated, you have to look for a place where to dine, the staff is very dissatisfied with Russian tourists and does not hide it, and there are a lot of inconveniences, I do not recommend this hotel.

We bought a tour to this hotel from the operator "Tez Tour". I personally bought into the amazing reviews from 2015. The wife also supported the choice, because from the reviews and photos everything looked A plus. Purposefully looking for a good family hotel (rested with a three-year-old child). And this is what we actually got when we arrived at this hotel two weeks ago: a dirty room with broken furniture, a bedroom without windows, dirty windows and stained glass, very poor lighting in the room, torn towels, painted walls, a ceiling with traces of flooding, lack of wet cleaning in the room and timely replacement of towels, fragments in the elevator that have not been cleaned for a week, disgustingly dirty cutlery and crockery.

The hotel, in fact, turned out to be a dead three-ruble note. This is not 5 stars at all, so if the tour operator tells you such stories, then do not believe him, the hotel is unsanitary. The only advantage - a varied diet - is completely crossed out by absolutely dirty and unusable cutlery.

We chose the hotel carefully based on reviews and ratings. But in practice, everything turned out to be completely different. The hotel does not want to see guests at all. The rooms are not prepared. the area is dusty. Only the main restaurant is open: Breakfast, lunch and dinner. There is no variety. One bar in the lobby with a very limited selection.

Yesterday at 18-00 there was practically only beer left in the bar. There is no daytime animation. They don't even play music during the day. Animators only ask how things are and that's it! The beach is dirty. The volleyball court is dangerous to play. Maybe then everything will work out in this hotel, but we, like many others, have arrived now.

In Side, we decided to go 5 times, there is a wonderful sea! This year (2017) we decided to fly here again at the end of April and at the beginning of October to rest. We bought tickets from April 25 to Serenity for 9 days. The flight went according to plan. but brought us to Sharm until 28 Apr. until Serenity is opened. The room we got was very dusty and dirty overlooking the wasteland. below, under the windows, there was a generator that did not let me sleep at night when the lights were turned off. Our neighbor on the floor from Leningrad had the same complaints about dirt and noise. The next day, at a meeting with a tour representative from the Odeon, the Leonids expressed their complaints about the cleanliness in the room and demanded that they be relocated to Serenity as soon as possible. For our own money, we ourselves will decide where to rest! We never choose hotels near rivers - they smell of sewerage and very muddy water with silt. If you walk along the river, you can see that a pipe sticks out from each hotel. And where there is an artificial bend in the river bed with huge stones, look and listen, pipes are laid under the stones and you can hear water flowing from the pipe with pressure. I have no doubt that these plums are being "cleaned", but then we came to the CLEAR sea. . Leonid promised to help and disappeared.... He didn't care about anything other than selling tours. . One girl bought a tour to Alanya with us - when she returned she spat for a long time - she stayed in the fur coat showroom against her will and spent the whole day on the bus collecting 2.5 hours of fellow travelers for the tour and after 2.5 hours carrying them. We spent 3 days in a dirty room. . finally caught the maid handed the bucks and a miracle happened to us WASHED the floors and wiped the dust. . . Full trash can stood for 2 days.... The bed was changed on the 6th day of our stay. Is this allowed in the top five? 2 days repaired plumbing. air instead of water. . . lucky ones who had time to wash between repairs. I was surprised that the drinks on the beach were poured in the absence of water, how did they wash the dishes? Devices had to look for in the restaurant. dishes were dirty especially cups and saucers. there was no entertainment in Sharm. . . once they invited me to a SHOW, it turned out they were broadcasting sports. match in GERMAN. Slides are often not included, only once we managed to ride. The food was varied but no frills and seafood. A lot of semi-finished products and powder puree. When the hotel was full, they began to dilute the drinks very, very much. There were 2 bartenders at the bar and a huge line. From the food on the beach there were delicious gozleme and hamburgers with expired rusty semi-finished cutlets. Since April 28, dreaming about resettlement, every day I was interested at the reception about Serenity, they deceived me that it had not yet opened. One of our tourists reached 11 km to Serenity - she found a manager there and smashed them. The hotel has been working since April 28, the bulk of vacationers, 90 percent of our compatriots, and in Sharm, on the contrary, Germans. Naturally, I began to demand relocation. I called Leonid, but he said that he didn’t promise us anything. LIAR! A day later we (for this we also had to find and turn to the manager) were in Serenity. THAT'S WHERE OBLOMS WAS WAITING FOR US! We waited until the room was washed for us. . . refrigerator was not included.... phone didn't work.... The soap dispenser in the shower didn't work.... shower faucet was broken off. . . at night we were bitten by insects very painfully. . more painful than a mosquito bite. . . still bites on the neck hurt and itch. . . BED BUGS? I saw photos of bed bugs in reviews of this hotel.... I was afraid to catch myself. . The key to the room was constantly demagnetized for us and for the neighbors on the floor.... the big elevator didn't work, it was being repaired, and the second smaller one stopped 30 cm short of the required level. Claimed ice cream in the hotel was missing. . . the animation is lame. . . The canteen is the canteen. . . very poor choice of food. . the first day is chicken and fried fish.... the second day - only fish for lunch and dinner. . . and now, under one of the pieces of fish, a live cockroach jumped out. I invited the waiter - a minute later the chef took the dish away.... And for the same cost in Sharm, guests were fed more impressively. And they had a drink card for guests and cocktails interfered with them. When we began to order different cocktails in a bar in Serenity, visitors were surprised by the assortment. Obviously, all the money saved is spent on the construction of a new hotel under construction in the neighborhood of Serenity of the same Sunshine chain.....So the dream came true and we spent the last two days in the hotel we chose on the recommendation of our friends vacationing in it in October 2016. Before departure, they asked us to wake us up at 6 in the morning (by knocking on the door... the phone did not work) they asked if you could have a lunch box - we are leaving without breakfast. We were offered to choose food for the road in the canteen. What is there to take? took a cookie for coffee in the morning and fried onion rings. There was nothing to choose from and we returned to the room like a bullet. . . There was an unfamiliar young man in our room. . . all bags are open. . . open closet.....he wanted to see the phone.... WHY IN OUR ABSENCE? We were at the reception 5 minutes ago. . . they knew we were there.... The husband began to resent at the reception with difficulty she took him away.... we had an early morning bus to the airport and didn't have enough showdowns with the police. . . we would have missed our flight.... Arrived home without delay. I WARN in Manavgat, opposite Waikiki, counterfeit thousandth bills are slipped in the exchanger! I calmed myself for a long time, but still decided to warn people. . . especially parents with children. HERE WE ARE NOT A FOOT MORE!

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.

We were in Turkey for the first time, before that we had a rest in Egypt. In general, the impressions of the rest are good, the sea was warm, we swam every day despite the gloomy morning clouds and a little rain. By 10:00 the breeze dispersed the clouds, at 10:30 the sun was shining, and at 11:00 it was already hot and dry.

About the hotel - I was glad that the hotel is brand new and there was no maintenance or construction in it. The rooms are basically standard-room, clean, plumbing is all alive. The furniture both in the room and throughout the hotel is solid, strong, not intrusive. The water in the pools for both adults and children is not heated, but perfectly clean. The territory is regularly cleaned, which cannot be said about the views around the hotel - mountains of garbage and dilapidated buildings. At sea, he regularly drove a bus without windows. The hotel staff absolutely does not speak either Russian or English, even at the reception desk, but it is excellent in Turkish and German. This is explained by the fact that Russians and Ukrainians are 10-15%, the rest are Germans, they have all the attention, honor and respect, and we, second-class, accidentally lost, communicate in sign language. The restaurant is good, the choice of dishes is decent, everything is delicious, but the grill sucks. For children, a good kinder club and a playground, but the animation for both children and adults is in German. I was very pleased that the all-inc included both drinking water and a minibar, otherwise with a price of 2 euros for a half a bottle of water, you can go broke.
Some bewilderment was caused by prices on the market, frank overpricing and speculation, and no bidding, a maximum of 2-3 euros, again, everyone is waiting for rich Germans and Russians who are not bidding. In Egypt, bargaining is a real theater, but here - go further.
Finally, about the tour operator - Biblioglobus | NEWS TRAVEL - arrival in Antalya is excellent, seated on buses and hotels.
But the girl accompanying the guide tried to tell the history of the country and Islam, but obviously did not understand the things she was talking about, she got confused all the time. And on the day of departure, in general, the bus to the hotel was late for 30 minutes, before departure 3 hours, and still go 70 km, check-in and inspection. But on the way there was still a "technical" stop near the "baited" store for 15 minutes, and rubbing about coupons for a 5% discount on magnets. On the words that we can not have time - no reaction. As a result, everyone at the airport was running, everyone was on their nerves, there were queues everywhere, they barely made it.
And so everything is fine, already at home.
In general, the impressions of the rest are good, the sea was warm, we swam every day despite the gloomy morning clouds and a little rain. By 10:00 the breeze dispersed the clouds, at 10:30 the sun was shining, and at 11:00 it was already hot and dry.
About the hotel - I was glad that the hotel is brand new and there was no maintenance or construction in it. The rooms are basically standard-room, clean, plumbing is all alive. The furniture both in the room and throughout the hotel is solid, strong, not intrusive. The water in the pools for both adults and children is not heated, but perfectly clean.
