Неплохой бюджетный отдых Good budget stay

This fall, my wife and I had the joy of relaxing in this hotel. To make it easier to choose a hotel and understand where you are going, I decided to write this review.
1. Hotel
It is an hour's drive from Antalya Airport, but it really turns out a little longer, because tourists are taken to different hotels by one bus. But this is not a problem, because all buses are air-conditioned.
Upon arrival at the hotel, our suitcase was treated with an antiseptic, we were given a monument, a key, and taken to our room.
We got a double room, which consisted of two rooms. One room had a double bed, bedside tables and a dressing table. The other room had two single beds, a couple of chairs, a sofa, a small refrigerator, air conditioning, a flat screen TV and a balcony. There was a table and 4 chairs on the balcony. In a small hallway closet for clothes and shoes. A bathroom in which, like in a closet, a shower cabin was separated by a movable partition.
The bathroom has a hair dryer (working).

The furniture is not the first freshness, but the beds did not creak and the mattresses were not pressed through.
As for 4 *, it is quite normal.
The staff does not understand Russian well, but communicates well in English. When asked for help, they respond quickly. Like everywhere in Turkey, they love tips.
The hotel has 3 swimming pools: large, small and children's. Depth of large and small - 140 cm. Children's - 45 cm.
2 water slides descend into the small pool. They work at certain hours, like the pools themselves.
Massage services are also offered. Classic complex massage (1 hour, upper and lower limbs, back) costs $20. I went. Liked. Ahmet and his colleague are true experts in their field.
Separately, I will say about Wi-Fi: it is, but it is better to consider that it is not. He hardly works. Forget about voice communication. It happens that even text messages are not always sent.
And sometimes our smartphones could not even connect to the router.
One of the features of the hotel: musical accompaniment. Music is turned on at about 12:00 and off at 22:30. Therefore, if you are used to going to bed earlier, it will be difficult for you to fall asleep. Yes, and there is some soundproofing in the hotel - with the doors and windows closed, sounds from the common corridor are clearly audible.
Cleaning in the room, most likely, takes place every day. There were moments when we were in the room and the cleaners came to us. At such moments, we asked them not to clean that day. If the hotel had "Don't disturb" signs, such problems would be easier to resolve for both parties.

2. Food.
She was enough. It was not as varied as in 5 *, but there was plenty to choose from: side dishes were rice, bulgur, pasta, french fries, chicken and eggs were always present from meat. Once a week there was fried fish. Greens and salads were constantly.
Pomegranate or lemon sauces could be added to it. Also 3 varieties of olives, yogurt and yogurt based sauces.
For dessert there were 2 types of cakes, citruses, melon, plums and apples. Sometimes watermelon and grapes.

When leaving the hotel early, do not count on getting lunch boxes - they are simply not given to tourists (they say they are not).

3. Drinks.
Separate topic. For some, it was painful, because there were separate shots that did not even leave the bar.
The soft drinks bar included: coffee, tea, juices (apple, peach, cherry, pineapple), cola, fanta, sprite and water. Since water had to be bought, some tourists simply did not throw away the water bottle they received during the plane flight and regularly replenished water supplies at the bar. It's free.
Alcoholic drinks of local origin were: beer, wines (white, red, dry and sweet), gin and vodka in unlimited quantities during the bar.
The rest are for a fee.

4. Beaches.
There is a beach near the hotel. Walk about 8 minutes. Sunbeds on the beach for a fee.
If you take a minibus, you need to check with the driver if the minibus goes to Side Prencess (a large hotel near Cinar Family Suite).
The sea temperature in September was 27-29 degrees. The air temperature is 33-35 degrees during the day and not lower than the 21st at night.

5. Shops, banks, transport and entertainment.
In Turkey, it is considered one of the inexpensive network of Migros markers. I met two stores of this network in Side. I also saw one LIDL store, but did not enter it.
Near the Cinar Hotel, on the same side of the road, there is a small market with stairs and automatic doors. Here you can buy textiles, gifts, and food. The price level is similar to Migros, sometimes even cheaper. There is a Russian-speaking woman there, communication with which greatly simplifies the task of choosing and purchasing goods.
In transport and in shops, euros, dollars and Turkish liras are accepted.
But it is in transport that it is most profitable to pay in lira, because the fare in a local minibus costs 4-4.5 lira, and the euro exchange rate is 8.5 lira.
Changes may simply not be given.
In the reviews I met information that if you withdraw money from the card in lira, then the cheapest way to do this is through the Deniz Bank ATM network.
I did not take a taxi, but I heard that the fare starts from 10 euros.

For entertainment, you will be offered a large number of excursions. The set is the same, but prices may vary. It is not recommended to buy excursions on the beaches. In hotels they are more expensive, but you will have at least some guarantees.
If you want to eat delicious fresh seafood, I advise you to visit one of three establishments: Olgun Balkl? , LMAN RESTAURANT LOUNGE CLUB, KARMA RESTAURANT & NIGHT CLUB. The first has an unsightly interior, but the chef cooks fish, squid and shrimp perfectly (they tried dorado, red mullet and squid there) and the price of two people can be about 200 lire.
This money also includes a variety of greens (onion, radish, tomato, cucumber, Beijing cabbage leaves, lemons, parsley, lettuce, pepperoni and greens unknown to us).
A compliment from the institution was tea in a Turkish glass with a waist and a few pieces of halva (free of charge, as well as greens before the dishes). The second and third are good restaurants on the sea coast with excellent service, but the price can immediately be multiplied by 2 relative to the first establishment. I advise you to eat ice cream at Bardo Gelato. It's delicious there. One ball costs 6 lira, but it was enough for my wife to eat. We counted 24 types of ice cream there.
History buffs will be interested in visiting the Antique City. It is easy to get there on foot. I advise you to stock up on water and small change when visiting during the day. I have not seen organized tours of the Antique City, but I saw one Turk there who looks a bit like a blessed one.
So, he is the only one who can tell what and where exactly is located. Of course, then he will ask for some money. But I think his tour is worth it.
At the end of the season, my wife and I paid a little more than 15 thousand hryvnia for two for a vacation of 7 nights and 6 full days. People who purchased a holiday in this hotel for 10 days paid the same money for one person. Therefore, be careful when choosing.

So, if you want to swim in the warm sea, eat fresh vegetables and fruits, and also like hiking, then Side is waiting for you. And, if you have low housing requirements, then Cinar Family Suite will be a great place for you, where you will be fed and you can relax in between entertainment.
I wish you all a wonderful holiday!
