The staff is absolutely not intrusive, very friendly. The only thing that made me sad was that Wi-Fi is only available at the reception and you have to reconnect periodically. I plan to return there with my husband and son after our victory.
A compact small hotel, there is actually no territory - a pool with slides for adults and slides for children, that's the whole territory.
3rd line. There is a minibus every half an hour. Walk 10-15 minutes to the beach. The beach is great.
Nearby there is a bus stop (near the gendarmerie, on the way to the beach), from where you can independently get to the Old Town of Side or to Manavgat for a penny.
The food is scarce, but you can live.
Nearby there are two chain stores for locals where you can buy cheap groceries, coffee, etc.
rested in September 2018. the sea and the beach are super. the sand is golden. cool. but the hotel is something with something. the hotel is dirty. far from the sea. you can eat on the beach. but the food is disgusting. the queue is never enough, it just starts cooking, it’s already over, it’s trash. There aren’t enough sunbeds. the hotel stopped, we went to a different restaurant. in the evening there is nowhere to sit at a table, it’s every day, if something is cooked on the grill, there are a queue of 30 people. when I saw it for me it was a shock. there were 20 times, in the morning I came for breakfast, I went for porridge. I look and there are flies. I tell the waiter what it is, he takes a spoon, collects flies and throws it on the floor. to say I'm not a picky person. but the food on the beach is a separate song. the food is bad and dirty. There are no complaints about the number, tolerably. The shuttle that runs every half hour stops 0.800 m from the beach. There is nowhere to go in the evenings. The hotel is far from the center. I hope my review helps someone.
Do not eat local sausage in any of its manifestations.
Not far from the beach there is a bay where you can feed the big sea turtles.
Of the national composition in the hotel were Germans, Ukrainians, Turks and Belarusians.
The pool is clean, two slides (they were turned on twice a day), the largest depth in the pool is 1.40 cm.
There is a free bath (hammam), procedures are paid.
The sea, like the weather is changeable, the beach is sandy. There are volleyball courts on the beach, they did not always play because of the number of people who wanted to. Enough sunbeds, they are given mattresses. There are also awnings over sunbeds. Showers and faucets to wash the sand off your feet. From 10.00 there is a beach bar, which is also all-inclusive. Lunch is also prepared here, which consists of pizza, vegetables and other light snacks. Toilets on the beach are divided into male and female, two cabins each.
Lunches and dinners in the restaurant require separate reviews. So many dishes that cannot be described. From meat lamb, lamb, turkey, chicken, and also fish. Salads are not dressed, dressing is arranged in rows. Separately chopped vegetables. A huge number of sweets, various pastries and flour products. Coffee machine, tea in teapots, tea bags, juices. Dry breakfasts.
There is also animation, good dancers come, karaoke in the lobby bar, a disco, but since there are not many people on it, the music is soon turned off. There are also table tennis, darts, backgammon, chess from the entertainment.
Bartenders, waiters are good, but with their own Eastern Turkish concepts. They treat you the way you treat them.
There is a market nearby. There are a lot of things, bargaining is possible.
We really liked the rest, the opinion about the hotel and the people who work there is very good.
Check-in: arrived at 9.00, filled out the card, received the key and your standard room
Meals: Usually we go in fours with my husband, while this food is the most worthy (soups, meat, fish, chicken, squid, rolls, pork, beef, lamb, various salads and snacks, fruits and sweets). And everything is delicious!!!
Beach: there are always places, sun loungers and mattresses for free, towels were brought with them (not strained). There is a bar on the beach where you can not only drink, but also eat at lunch, no worse than in the hotel dining room. You can walk to the beach for 10 minutes (I advise you to walk), or by bus (from the hotel), which runs once an hour
Territory: the hotel practically does not have it, inside the hotel there is a large swimming pool and sunbeds around it and that's it, but we have not been there, I won’t say anything about the pool.
Staff: everyone smiles, greets, no one has ever been rude, there are no complaints
Location of the hotel: the hotel is located on the outskirts of the village, but because the village is sooo small and you can walk from one side to the other in half an hour, then we went around it all, there is where to take a walk in the evening (a promenade along the sea with a harbor, a bridge, alleys and benches). For shoppers, if you constantly go straight to the left from the hotel, there are a lot of bazaars and markets - there is everything that your heart desires)) . My husband and I went to Manavgat and Side by minibus, the fare costs about 2 USD. per person, absolutely safe, in Side we walked through the ruins, it was very beautiful, we liked it, again, shopping lovers go to Manavgat, but we didn’t see anything interesting for ourselves there.
Excursions: we went to Anex tour and always took excursions from him, this time he disappointed us. 1. Jeep Safari - there was no Russian guide and the group was all Germans, except for us) 2. pammukale - we left very early (3 nights) and returned at 7-8 pm, the guide was very boring, we slept all the way on the bus. Many take excursions on the street, so the level of Anex is now the same as that of street agencies, only the prices are higher. Consider if it's worth it. .
Currency: take euros with you, it is much more profitable than dollars, it also costs 20-30% of the money that you take to exchange for Turkish liras on the spot.
I would return to this hotel again, it suits me perfectly, but because we are constantly changing them for the sake of interest, I think it is unlikely that we will return to it.
If you have any questions, write, I will be happy to answer.
