We have already been to Turkey several times, but because of the children we decided to go again. We went with the operator Coral-Odeon-tours. We were met perfectly and taken to the hotel in a Volkswagen minibus. Everything was good and fast. Only three families were taken, and we were brought to the hotel first. But a big bus came back for us, and we had to travel around Side for two hours, gathering people in 6 more hotels. As a result, at the airport we were almost the last in line for check-in. We flew by Aeroflot-Don on TU-154. There are no complaints about them.

The choice fell on the Sueno Hotels Beach hotel in Side. First of all, this was due to the fact that the hotel has lake villas. These are small two-story houses, located away from the central pools and crowds of people. Each villa has its own pool. The jacuzzi is turned on once an hour. You can swim in the pools until late in the evening.

There is a bar nearby, where fresh juice is served all day long: orange, apple, carrot or a mix of them at will. You can also get coffee, ayran and iced tea there. About 50 meters away is a snack bar, which has almost the same as in the main restaurant. We went there for breakfast. By the way, Sueno is the only hotel where you could take food out of a restaurant or bar. We actively used this, because our children love to sleep.

By the way, food in the hotel around the clock. We flew out at 4 in the morning, but, nevertheless, we were able to have a good snack with sandwiches, coffee and some kind of baked goods. The hotel staff is attentive and responsive. We found out that we would have a wedding anniversary, and congratulated us with a postcard and a bottle of wine with fruit in the room. It was very nice. There were no problems.

Settled at two o'clock. We had an early arrival, so we had to wait for this time, because their checkout hour is 12 noon, and then the room had to be cleaned. We didn't mind.
We left things at the reception in the luggage room and went swimming and wandering around the territory.

Breakfast and dinner are held in the main restaurant, and lunch - on the so-called side street. There are stalls there. You come up and show the Turks what you want, and they impose on you. It is better to go for lunch at 14-14.30 hours. There are always places. The waiters flutter like butterflies. If they smile and say hello in Turkish, then there will be no limit to their happiness and your table will always be clean.

Starting from lunch and hours until 5 pm, several types of ice cream are served. I liked chocolate and lemon, and also vanilla, kiwi and strawberry. There is also always a large selection of cakes and various sweets. Many tourists do not like to go from counter to counter, because they cannot understand what and where they give. It’s very easy to figure it out: it’s enough to walk calmly and without a plate and look at everything. To be honest, I didn’t really like lunch at the hotel - there was little variety.
Dishes get boring quickly. Breakfast is standard for Turkey.


But dinner is a real feast for gourmets. What is not there? ! We have not tried half of all the dishes in two weeks. I really liked the freshly fried fish, which is fried in front of you on the veranda of the restaurant. We were in three of the five a la carte restaurants: Asian, Italian and fish. Most of all I liked the fish one. However, Asian is also good.

Now ABOUT ANIMATION. Animation goes on from morning to evening: there are various shows, and sports competitions, and minigolf, and archery and gun shooting. Everyone will find something to their liking. In the evening, animation programs are in 4 languages: Turkish, German, English and Russian. True, there is one drawback: the translation does not always convey all the humor and all the nuances of what was said. The coolest animator is Pavka. He is Bulgarian. His kids just loved it.
The Chinese circus came, the monks from Shaolin, Turkish pop stars performed twice a week. There were always fireworks after their concert. These days, the influx of Turks increased significantly. However, they didn't bother us.

Children's animation - just super! Kids are busy from 9 am to 24 hours. They just didn’t do anything with them: they painted faces, and held some contests, and showed cartoons. But most of all, the children liked to participate in the musical Shrek show together with adult animators.

Once a week there was a foam disco on the beach. That's where we came off to the fullest. It was something incredible. Adults jumped and frolicked like children. The hotel area is large, green and very beautiful. There were a lot of people in the hotel in August, but we noticed them only in the evening in the amphitheater and at dinner. We spent the whole day in our lakes. The water park is interesting. There are few people on the hills. The queue was a maximum of 5-6 people.
In the evenings we went to Lunapark. Pleasantly pleased that the price of tickets is two times lower than ours. Madly in love with drawing on the water - ebru. We brought home as many as 4 paintings and gave them to grandmothers.

The hotel is suitable for parents with children and young people. The contingent of vacationers: about 30% of Russians, Turks (not local) and all kinds of English and German speakers. We even met some of them and communicated well and played ball in the pool.


In short, if you are positive, if you smile and do not forget to say hello and thank the hotel staff in Turkish, then everyone will treat you kindly and try to solve all your problems.
