Elis Beach Hotel 3* (Turkey/Side/Side Center).
The hotel was chosen according to three parameters: proximity to the sea (on the websites it is stated that the beach is 200 m long with sunbeds and umbrellas), location in the center, good food.
As for its own beach, the hotel does not have it at all, which shocked all guests upon arrival.
The beach on the promenade is paid, 5 minutes walk. The sea on it is very shallow and dirty: either sand raised by waves, or tons of algae.
The beach is hotel (knocked out by Rosa, the hostess, with great difficulty) - 25 minutes on foot through the city and a dusty road in the heat. He drives a tiny minicap, they sit on top of each other, they take the car by storm. On June 9, the driver refused to drive at all, saying that the contract with him had ended. Rosa said to walk. But the beach is clean and beautiful. The water is clean and clear, the depth is good. But the water is colder than on the beach along the boardwalk.

The hotel itself is in the center of Side, to ancient temples, ruins - from 5 to 20 minutes (there are many different ones)
The room fund is good, the furniture is not old, there is a lot of it in the room. No mold, no shower. But the air conditioner in room 702 worked very poorly, it “plowed” at 17 degrees all day (the room was not specially closed), it barely cooled. Audibility 100%. Mosquitoes are not translated.
Cleaning. Vacuuming, making beds, folding towels. The floors are most likely wiped down, but there is always a lot of hair on the floor in the bathroom.
The hotel is very small, small to the point of squalor, the feeling that you are relaxing at a Soviet-era camp site. I'm more in such a small hotel - not a foot. True, there is an orchard, quite large, especially for treshki. But in it you can only have breakfast (lunch and dinner are hot). There is nothing else to do in this garden. There is no air conditioning in the dining room, do not know how it will be more than 30 degrees in the heat..... The tablecloths are always dirty or stained, the plates are washed poorly.
Food. It's ok for a trio. There are three-ruble notes with such food that you can’t even put vegetables in your mouth, as, for example, in Olympus in Kemer. True, in the last two days they gave chicken with a smell....Some ate in cafes....Of fruits, only watermelons 4 times a day and apples 3 times a day.
The hotel is small and therefore noisy. everything is close to each other. . . All rooms overlook the pool and the bar, so the noise is unbearable all day and unbearable until night: music, children, drunken guests.....
Winds for some reason in Side, as in Hurghada. Therefore, after swimming in the wind, it is cold.
There is no slide. Hamam is not. There is no animation. 1 time there was a dance show, normal.
With the settlement they deceive, as elsewhere. If you buy a standard, they will settle in an economy one. Although their standard differs from the economy one only in the presence of a refrigerator, which barely cools.

A girl with a child paid for some room with an increased area, they flatly refused to relocate her, such as the rooms are all occupied, although not the hottest season in late May and early June. She called the tour operator, the office of the host in Turkey for half a day, threatened with the embassy, ​ ​ demanded a certificate confirming the size of the room, and only after these scandals they promised to relocate her. And another girl with a child was moved from room to room 3 times to please other guests……
Inet catches only at the reception, by the pool - worse. In the room - only until 7 am or after 1 am.
In general, the general impression of the rest is heat, fatigue, negative emotions...
Summary: I will not go to such mini-hotels again, this one too, and I do not recommend it to anyone.
It is better to change money at an exchange office or pay with a Visa card, there are enough chain stores (Migoros, 1001a, Waikiki, some kind of Mol)
We took a walk along the sea and along the Manavgat River for 10 bucks per person. With a stop for 2 hours in the city of Manavgat (or 1 hour - at the waterfall and 1 hour around the city).
We were bored with a child (12 years old). There are no sun loungers on the deck, and it is very uncomfortable to sit all day. There is also no bridge on the bow to stand there, as the child dreamed.
