отличный отдых great vacation

Good afternoon!! ! Rested in this hotel from 02.04-09.04! In one word - super! Everyone liked it very much!
I'll start in order:
1. Flight. I flew Testur. There were no problems. Without delay. Fed, watered, everything is as it should be!
2. Accommodation (a Standard room was booked on the tour). No problem settled in a room overlooking the unkempt wasteland))). But quickly for 10 USD upgraded to a great room overlooking the central pool. The rooms are spacious, freshly renovated, clean, new furniture. A good closet, 2 beds (2-seater and one and a half), several mirrors (this is for girls) One in the form of a dressing table, the other hung on the wall overlooking the bed and in the bathroom, of course. There was air conditioning, but we somehow did not use it (after all, it was not the season).
The balcony is not big, with a table and 3 chairs.
The toilet and bathroom are also in excellent condition.

3. Service. The service is good. Everyone is smiling, friendly and helpful. A couple of times we left a tip for the maid, so she rolled swans with flowers from towels for us.
The same is true in the restaurant. Once a waiter sold us a bottle of mineral water for 1 euro, and without thinking we bought it, it turned out that the water was free for us. The field of forehead was served all the rest, fruits were brought to the room! I tell you how much in paragraph 5.
And in the lobby bar we met the waiter Ekrem. He's absolutely great!!!!
4. Territory. Then it is not big, the pool occupies most of it. There is practically no greenery. So small lawns. But that didn't bother us. Since the sun was not scorching, but pleasantly warming!
5. Vacationers. Basically, there was a contingent of 35 and older Germans, French, there were not many Russians at all (one youth). By our arrival there were a total of up to 10 people, and upon departure up to 20))
Why did I refer to this item in the story about the service. So the Europeans buy the All Inclusive tour, while the Russians have Ultra All Inclusive. Therefore, water for them was paid in the dining room and some items in the bar menu. Didn't get into the rest.
6. Nutrition. Let me tell you right now, I am not picky. This is not the first time I have a rest in Turkey, I lived in the 5th luxury class, and in the 4th. All liked it. You definitely won't be hungry. They write in the reviews all sorts of things about a meager assortment, all this is nonsense. No one cooks so much at home.
Breakfast was always about the same: cereals, cheeses, yoghurts, Turkish delight, scrambled eggs, scrambled eggs, fresh vegetables, herbs, fruits, all sorts of sausages, ham, salads and pastries.
Lunch - soups, rice, pasta, fresh vegetables, stews, fruits, fish, some meat, there weren't too many sweets. And of course cakes (the filling was always different).
Dinner is an abundance of everything. Standard: jellied/stewed and fried fish, chicken skewers and stewed beef/pork. A couple more days they gave turkey skewers. Mussels were given once, very tasty.

again, a million salads, just fresh vegetables and herbs, grilled vegetables, some kind of preservation, I generally keep quiet about potatoes and spaghetti (I never ate during the whole vacation). Lots of fruits: bananas, oranges, apples and pears. I would like to pay special attention to the sweet table - it is chic.
It was a late dinner, so apparently they gave something that they didn’t finish at dinner.
In addition, a woman was sitting near the pool making cakes, this is for the hungry)))
Raki and three types of wine were served in the dining room. I didn’t drink tea, coffee, water, juices (I was afraid that it was like UPI).
And yet, the dishes were ALL CLEAN!!! ! ))
7. Beach. The road to the beach takes 5 minutes. For us it was not exhausting. On the one hand, a swamp with frogs, on the other, a construction site. Due to the fact that we went in early April, the beach was not equipped yet. There were no awnings and sunbeds were not dismantled. The beach bar was not open.
8. Weather. Upon arrival in Antalya, it was raining unrealistically, it’s good that I took an umbrella. On the way to Side, the clouds cleared and everything was super. But in the evening it rained again with a thunderstorm. The first four days the weather was not stable at all. Like summer in Ukraine. It was quickly cloudy, it was raining heavily and again the sun. On average, the temperature was up to +24 during the day, and cool up to +20 in the evening. Warm clothes came in handy.
The sea was stormy for a couple of days, the beaches were all dirty. But after two warm days everything was cleaned up and we even swam. The water is invigorating, you won’t swim much (I’m not hardened). Here the Germans bathed in full. And it's windy like in Egypt in the windy season.
Around the pool is warm, you can even burn.
9. Entertainment. There are plenty of them in the hotel. I recommend the spa!! ! Hamam!! ! gym. Every other day there is live music in the lobby. Disco every day until 2 am. Animation appeared only on the 4th day of rest. There was step aeroica, darts, bingo, some performances (but all in German and English) Because of the bulk of the holidaymakers. I will say this, we had fun without animation, so they didn’t pay much attention to it.
Free wi-fi in the lobby, very convenient.

Although they write that the hotel is out of the way. But Directly in front of it is a minibus stop, from where you can go to the city. They cost 3-3.5 lira (I recommend changing part of the money into lira). All prices in euro. And they run until 7pm. Taxi is expensive - 20 euros!
We went to Side twice. There is something to see (for the second time I'm resting in this city) and each time I discover something new for myself. I recommend to go to the archaeological museum (ticket payment ONLY in lira - 20 lira), there are many ancient Greek ruins. We walked for half a day and didn’t see everything.
All in all, a great time to visit! not hot and cheaper cost! I recommend going to Green Canyon. This is not far from Side in the city of Manavgat, an unusually beautiful place that will not leave anyone indifferent.
In conclusion, I can say! What a great vacation!! ! After reading the reviews, I had some doubts about the choice, but upon arrival I realized that I was not mistaken. the hotel is wonderful. This time of year is the best!
Got more out of my holiday than I wanted!
Thank you all very much!
