Agree with previous reviews. The hotel has a safety certificate (but having lived there, the question arises - why was it given? ). There are a lot of people, although the staff says that the hotel is designed for 2000 people, but it is full for 1500. They are probably lying.

So, the queues are huge in restaurants - because, as a rule, there is one person for the entire line of dishes, and until you poke him what you want, until he understands, until he puts it on a plate ...until she swims ...they are in no hurry at all. It would be better if there was a restaurant menu that they bring you everything packaged, it would save time. In principle, there was something, but we must carefully choose and sniff. Once they gave chicken meat with a smell. Choose carefully. The fish was every day, but also carefully. We took it on the grill - ok, but bony.

The fruits are really green. Apples are like grass. Ate watermelon and grapes. Soups are ok - as always in Turkey, not even very spicy.

Only instant coffee, burda, in general. And a self-respecting person cannot order Turkish coffee even for money. This is a five, luxury, baby (wi-fi is free for a certain amount, then you have to pay. Stone age and redneck, as for me.

Sun loungers, deck chairs need to be borrowed early in the morning, since then it is already impossible. The people are resting mainly from the scoop (previously there were more Europeans there, which means that the hotel used to be better). And the people, apparently, are nostalgic for the nineties) or just one ...you want to sit on three chairs ...So they borrow both by the sea and by all the pools, but they sit somewhere in one place. The staff who are supposed to control it don't. In general, the staff does not care at all, he is lazy and clumsy. And slow.

Of the benefits - a large green area, well-groomed, beautiful pools - there is a pool for relaxation, and with music and animation. Animation as everywhere in Turkey.
Once a week Turkish night, and so - some of their ideas. For children, a mini disco, and a mini club, and a bunch of water slides, swings. The promenade between the sea and the hotel - you can walk to Side - we walked slowly for 30 minutes.

Conclusion: we will not go here again, and do not advise anyone. If you want in Side - take the Barut hotels, the area is smaller, but beautiful, compact and modern. Wi-fi is free everywhere, there are no queues anywhere, maybe because there is one person for every two or three dishes, and not one for the entire line. Or a good Can garden hotel - the last one along the promenade. Or the penultimate one in front of Side itself (the old town) - there is a beautiful territory, a homely atmosphere, however, the beach is rocky, but there is one cleared entrance. There is no crowd there - neither on the beach, nor in the restaurant. Everything is better organized there, as in Barut hotels. In September, people said that there were about 100 people in the Can garden. was, it is designed for 600. Of course, this is normal.

Plus, there you take cold dishes yourself, hot dishes are laid by the kitchen worker, drinks are brought by the waiter - and not such a pandemonium for everything, as in Horus. Wi-fi is free everywhere. It seems that only Horus wants to cut down the dough even on the Internet ...tin.

Enjoy your holiday, but certainly not in this redneck hotel.
