To say that I'm happy with the hotel is to say nothing. . . it's a super cool hotel with excellent cuisine, a small area, attentive staff, interesting entertainment and beautiful clean rooms. Special thanks for the help to the administrator girl Sila. She helped us, both from the arrivals and from the departure, by organizing lunch boxes and extending the room for us for free, since the child did not feel well on the last day and, in general, helped and suggested everything throughout the rest. She is a miracle worker of the hotel, it is a pity that her photo was not on the board of workers. We wish her a raise!
So, the room is super white and clean, cleaning every day, free water in the room 1.5 liters, Jacobs coffee, 2 types of tea, cream, sugar, there is also an electric kettle.
Each room has a balcony, there is a hanger for drying clothes. Shower, toilet together, compact, there is a hairdryer, shampoos in the shower and in bottles, there were also gels.
You can’t hear the neighbors in the rooms, the only minus is opening and closing the door, she loudly clicks the lock, if the child is sleeping, you won’t leave quietly))) we were with a 2-year-old child. They brought him a playpen for free.
The kitchen was chic, the main rule is that everyone collects food in masks and disposable gloves, the administrator of the hall walks and monitors this and makes comments. Queues in connection with this for food - no!
From 18:30, a children's table with dietary dishes was opened, although at other times during the day, there was something for a dietary child to eat, there are also highchairs and separate 2 children's tables for children with small highchairs.
But it was nice to feed the baby at 18:30 and at 19, when the restaurant opened for everyone, you could already have a meal with adults and know that the child had already been fed.
The kitchen was simply gorgeous, the dishes are all delicious, sometimes even slightly salty, many types of bread, a large toaster, sauces, salads, appetizers, and 15 different types of olives and olives cooked, a lot of vegetables and herbs, you can mix with sauces yourself. There were always meat and fish dishes, 1-2 types of soup, and a couple of times for dinner there were many types of seafood appetizers: mussels, squids, octopus (not very hard), shrimp - they were mountains - this is a paradise for sea lovers, and how many fish species both grilled and fried, sometimes there were even hamburgers, corn, something like shawarma, a baked turkey carcass, salmon steaks, meat, salmon carcass was, which was taken apart in pieces in front of guests and laid out in trays, in short, the kitchen is ABALDENNY!
There were many cakes, but they are specific, all creamy biscuit, with something viscous, but I found my favorite with a dark biscuit, with candied orange and figs)) there was Turkish delight, fruits: watermelon, melon and apples (not ripe, not delicious) peaches, grapes. For breakfast, there are always eggs of different types, you can ask the chef who is on the distribution to ask for an omelet from his chosen ingredients. Very tasty pancakes and pancakes, during the day there is a snack near the hotel pool waffles with different sprinkles, waterings, ice cream.
There is also a bar on the beach where you can have lunch, earlier than in the hotel restaurant, there are not many dishes, but there is a choice, there are fruits and cakes, tea, coffee, beer, a couple of alcoholic cocktails, water and "like juices". Water is in portions - packaged like yogurt, in the refrigerator from 9 in the morning somewhere to 18 hours, come and take it. In the same place, 2 r and a day they distribute ice cream, every day different tastes. Only 2 types. To the beach in a straight line about 5 minutes on the strength.
Every evening there is a show, there is a children's disco in front of it, fun for everyone)) in the morning there is a standard one on the beach where they post information about entertainment at the hotel for today. On the beach there was volleyball and some other game. Also on the beach in the bar there was a snack, in short you will not stay hungry.
Near the hotel there is 1 large pool 140 cm and 1 small 40 cm with a slide into the water, there is a playground nearby, a mini kids club for children from 4 years old. During the day, the animators entertain by the pool with games, dances, once there was a trampoline on the water, where the children also participated in the hauls, and then the adults, everything changed.
There are 2 more water slides on the territory of the neighboring hotel, at the fun park, there are slides and mini golf and a place for dancing in the afternoon with animators. The entrance is separate from the beach. The beach is wide, huge, with sunbeds with mattresses and awnings, the sea is warm, shallow, sand, the entrance is smooth, the bottom is long, which is excellent, they didn’t climb out of the water, it’s calm on the beach, all things remained intact.
Resting in the hotel a lot of Germans, a few Russians and Turks, in general, everything is quiet and peaceful. There were vacationers, both elderly and with children, there were also young people, but a little, more often in companies.
If you do not take into account the poisoning of your son on the last day, do not understand what, maybe he drank water from the sea or the pool, then the rest was 100%.
I recommend it to mothers with children, and I myself don’t mind coming here again and you don’t have to bring food for the child with you, although I thought and worried, but it was all in vain, the rest was a success, both for adults and children!
The food at the hotel is excellent. It makes no sense to describe - they feed all day on the beach and in the hotel. We dined almost always on the beach, where the children liked it better, as there was always pizza, breaded fish or chicken, onion rings. Many are interested in soups on the menu. Soup is served for breakfast, lunch and dinner - all soups are delicious, except for this, chicken soup is always on the children's table. Sweets in this hotel is a separate issue. There are always a lot of them, Turkish delight here is the most delicious, cakes and desserts with custard - you can’t come off at all, baklava, cakes, etc. The service in the restaurant is very good, everyone is friendly and welcoming. Purity. If someone dropped something, spilled it, after a minute there is no trace of it, they have already removed it, wiped it off. The chef and his team are to be commended. But, so that the review about them is not completely sugary, I’ll tell you how to improve the kitchen. This is the only flaw that I think can be easily fixed. The layered cheese pie for breakfast was dry and the curd was not melted in it. I hope next time I try this dish in the best version. Most importantly, the restaurant is designed for all visitors to the hotel. That is, when you come to dinner, you don’t have to run around and take a table, there is enough space for everyone. A gala dinner is held once every two weeks. All visitors have dinner, and the owner of the hotel introduces his team.
The management at the hotel is excellent. Any your desire, remark is solved instantly. You don’t need to run after them, to persuade them to pay attention to you, to help. You communicate the essence of your desire and in half an hour they find you, yes, yes, they find you, and report that your issue has been resolved. Aidana and Celine – many thanks.
Those who visit the hotel not for the first time are given a gift - a towel with the hotel logo. Very nice. In other hotels - a vase of fruit and wine. What for? I'll eat it for dinner anyway. A towel with a seal is a very memorable present.
We were offered a cake for our birthday. We refused and asked for the same towels for all children. And they gave us. By the way - we rested in other hotels - more expensive and larger - for my birthday, the same bottle of wine and a vase of fruit, and they also offered a cake... for 40 euros. And here you are really congratulated.
Animators are smart. They do not just go out and work, they try to lure vacationers. Relay on trampolines - they invited a bunch of people there. Everything is easy and simple for children - but adults... Everyone frolicked - we fell, flew away, climbed again.
Our morning started with exercises with animators by the pool, then darts, kids club, shooting. Polo pool, aqua aerobics, beach volleyball, pool dancing. In general, whoever needed to entertain himself, he got everything he wanted.
By name: favorite animator Binnaz. My daughter loved the kids club very much thanks to this perky girl, she, like a lighter - not a second of rest - jumps, dances, plays with children. Binnaz is Russian-speaking and very beautiful, dads are not allowed into the kids club. Kidding. Vanessa is German, calm, the girls complement each other. Children in the club are under good supervision - not a single one will run away, everyone will be handed over to their parents. Meriyam is an Egyptian beauty, as in the picture. She also dances zumba with the resting ladies and leads the aqua. The boys Murat and Kemal will dance and play sports with you, they are very polite and pleasant in communication - both speak Russian well. Murat - he will meet you ten times a day - he will greet you ten times. Kemal is a favorite of little girls, they follow him and dance and swim. Alex - aka Ufuk - thanks for such a team. Seven years ago there was no animation.
The hotel rooms are all clean and well maintained. Every day the master corrected and repaired something in the vacant rooms. No wires dangled anywhere, no water flowed, all taps, sockets and buttons worked. There are no dead rooms where you are lodged in order to be relocated for money. They move from one building to another at your request - suddenly you are noisy or high. They move for free, as the rooms in the building you want are released.
Spa. Everything is quiet, clean, peaceful and calm. The girl from the spa, unfortunately, did not remember her name. The massage is very good, washed us in the hammam is also excellent. Sunburn stuck, as it should) thank you.
Hotel guide from Annex - Ramadan. Liked it very much. Speaks to the point and without deceit. Always in touch. Thanks.
The beach is beyond praise. Actually, we returned again to this hotel, knowing that there was a great beach. A wide sandy strip, sand in the sea, no rocks sticking out of the bottom, and no stones. You can't pull children out of the sea. At low tide near the buoys - waist-deep, near the river and behind the buoys knee-deep. Walking along the beach is a pleasure.
Liked everything. Here I will move to another hotel, get a dose of adrenaline from finding a table for dinner, from unkempt rooms, and come back here like home.
Check in: Settled normally. The hotel is really 100% full. Some people leave - the rooms are cleaned - the next ones come in. We arrived at 8 in the morning, they attached bracelets to us, we had breakfast, part of our family went to the beach to swim (towels were received in the spa, their replacement was 50 cents), the second half of the family stayed at the hotel until check-in.
The staff does not speak Russian at all, since the hotel is designed entirely for Germans. Therefore, the guide provided to us settled us. Otherwise, ignorance of German did not interfere with us - everything is clear and so. There were guests from the CIS in the hotel... a family from Moscow and we from Kazakhstan. ALL. If you also met Russian-speaking people, then it was our former compatriots living in Germany.
The lack of language communication did not affect the quality of service in any way: the rooms are the same, the service is the same, the beach, after all, is WHAT YOU NEED TO GO IN SIDE FOR - also the same as for everyone else!
They gave us two rooms in the same building on the same floor, that is, very close. The windows of the rooms overlooked different parts of the hotel. One balcony was above the bar, street restaurant and bandstand - a good location, so to speak, the front door (it was a double room). The second overlooked the back of the hotel, there is a tennis court and always silence - also a great location (triple room). No discrimination regarding settlement between Russians, Kazakhs, Germans, etc. - No. Yes, and it can’t be, since the hotel is small, all the rooms are equally well-groomed, the view from the window is as lucky as anyone. There are no terrible views, but otherwise - well, you are not going to look at the sea from the window.
Location of the hotel: This second balcony overlooks the Side Breeze Hotel (formerly Monacus Park - five stars). Now this monacus park has been sold, and a 5-star hotel of the same system is located right in front of the monacus hotel on the first coastline, we pass it on the way to the beach. On the territory of this hotel (Commodore Elite Suite) there is an amusement park of the Monacus hotel (a swimming pool with water slides, bicycles, a volleyball court, where the girls were engaged in oriental dances, there is a bar with drinks). I want to note that on the Google map, the Monacus, Commodore and Side Breeze hotels are marked somewhat incorrectly. Our hotel, i. e. Monacus spa hotel is located 150-200 meters from the sea, I think that this is not a distance at all. That is, you just need to go around the building of the Commodore Hotel and we are on the beach.
SPA - very good, even nice. 15 minutes of massage for each visitor of the hotel is free of charge. Further, all procedures are paid, the money is very reasonable, besides, the pleasure received is worth it. By the way, the only person who speaks Russian in the hotel is the representative of the spa salon - Akhmet.
Hamam, sauna to warm up - every day, until 19 pm everything works - for free.
Meals: The beach bar is excellent, open from 10 to 17. Lunch is excellent on the beach, the children liked to dine more on the beach than in the hotel restaurant. Somewhere in the lunch area on the beach they give ice cream, then a Turkish lady bakes very tasty cakes (again, a favorite delicacy of children - a deep bow to her for the pleasure she brought to the children).
The restaurant in the hotel is large, the food is quite varied. We were given... not to list everything... lamb shish kebab, chicken, shawarma, every day there were dishes like beef and lamb stew. Well, it makes no sense to list vegetable, sweet and other dishes. Sweets are varied. The cakes are wonderful - very tasty. It is impossible to refuse such a delicacy! For breakfast: fruits, yoghurts, omelettes, pancakes, pancakes, cheese, cheese, etc.
Beach. Fine clean sand. The entrance to the sea is smooth, sandy, no plates and stones. One sand. Flopping with children is a pleasure! And to be honest, it’s much more pleasant to swim where the sand is, nothing cuts your feet, and the depth of the water below you doesn’t scare you.
There are no discos in the hotel. The only thing is, at eight o'clock in the evening for 20 minutes dancing for small children, then some, almost none, animation for adults (all in German), at that time we usually walked along the coast or in the village in souvenir shops. At 12 at night - complete silence. Leisure hotel. There was one interesting evening on the beach, a fire show, and that's it.
Excursions. The hotel itself does not offer any trips. Your tour operators are working. We went to the Belek Dolphinarium, and with a child a trip on a pirate ship (on the river to the sea and back, for everything - 6-7 hours). Personally, our guide did not offer us anything (or rather, he offered prices 2 times more expensive, and even with the payment of an individual transfer, in general, nothing good) - we joined Teztur.
Summary: The hotel is amazing. Clean, comfortable, cleaning every day, excellent food, beach and sea - mmmm beyond words. I would visit this hotel again. The only request to the administration is that Russian-speaking animators are needed for children. I recommend.
The hotel is very good. The food is very diverse, as they say - for every taste! The first 2 days they ate for slaughter)) The only thing that was not served was Turkish delight (Beer (for some reason Tuborg, although Ephesus is brewed on the coast))), surprisingly very easy to drink and without additional snacks, fish, etc. )) For children in general - all the blessings. Only all the animation is in German, since the hotel is 95% German, there are Americans, Turks, from Russians - we were 3 families... (but the children - still happily took part in games and dances! The sea is very warm and quiet (but I like where the waves are bigger))), the shore is sand. The beach is marked with a blue flag! This is a family run quiet hotel with no pomposity or drunken frenzy!! ! Everything is decorous and calm))) And cleaning - really every day! In general - we really liked it!
