Turkey, which has been explored far and wide, annually seduces with fast direct flights and beloved All-Inclusive…
At one time, it was decided to alternate sightseeing and impressionable and just a beach holiday. That is why they chose Side again, or rather, the Sural Saray Hotel in Cholakli.
We will not dwell on all its advantages, as they are described in detail in our "travel notes" "Why sit in a hotel - ride a dolmus in Side! " ( https://www.turpravda.ua/tr/blog-239452.html can be easily found on Google by name), but let's talk about the emotions of this year.
. . . The accumulated fatigue made itself felt, and a short flight from his hometown, a quick and visa-free passage of customs and border control, as well as a sandy beach left no other options. After all, it is here that the sand is soft, and not pebbles, as in Antalya.
Compared to last year, some changes immediately caught my eye: an updated, with a changed color scheme, the facade of the main building and even more frills in the restaurant. To everything described earlier, huge tuna and baked sheep (whole! ), Appearing literally every other day, were added, from which extraordinarily tasty pieces of meat are carefully cut off for the guests.
An abundance of cheeses, cheese, poultry of various preparations, fruits, vegetables and sweets - at the highest level! Every evening, at the beginning of dinner, a chef comes out to the endless sweet table, with whose “golden” hands baked cakes, baklava and other goodies throughout the day. He, like a sculptor, walks around the vast dishes, admiring his works. And at this time, next to the balcony, they fry the freshest liver, turkey, tobacco chicken and much more...
As before, there is an incredible number of types of tea and soft drinks throughout the territory, and bottled mineral water under the Sural brand (by the way, with increased Ph) is unlimited in the rooms!
Helpful and polite staff remained the same, cleanliness and order everywhere. Bright and soft like a carpet, emerald lawns under tall palm trees lead to a constantly clean private beach, which, of course, has enough sunbeds and mattresses for everyone. There are more Germans as the hotel is quiet and family friendly. For noisy music and parties - welcome to the neighboring hotels. Here everything is decorous and intelligent. During the day - darts, tennis, tennis, water polo and volleyball, and after dinner "children's disco" (for the smallest) with animators, and from 21.00 on the bridge over the pool - show programs. Sports enthusiasts can watch the competitions taking place in different parts of the world on the big screen in the conference room.
A couple of times, the hostess was seen on the golf cart, who discreetly checked the hotels (nearby, after the repair, the Sural Hotel opened, and the Sural Garden is located across the road).
During breakfast-lunch-dinner, the staff discreetly cleans, wipes, sweeps, and all this is monitored by a top manager and a representative of the security service. Thanks to the Russian-speaking administrator Zamira Akhmedova, not a single problem arose during the two weeks of rest.
In your favorite "textile paradise" - a small shop opposite the reception - still high-quality clothes at great prices. But now Karina has a replacement: the friendly and polite Kairat.
… Nothing has changed around: leaving the hotel, on the one hand, there is a bus stop for Manavgat and Antique Side, and on the other, Sural Bazaar, a pharmacy and, of course, a Migros supermarket. But the main thing is a clean, warm, turquoise sea with a wide strip of sandy beach!
Have a nice holiday!
