Отзыв об отеле Side World Star Hotel Review of Side World Star Hotel

I liked the hotel - new, cozy, albeit small. The rooms are spacious and bright. We had a family, two-room. Two balconies, one overlooking the pool. There was only one TV in the room, but we never turned it on. No fridge, no hair dryer. There are no cosmetics in the bathroom, you need to take your own. The air conditioners worked properly. There is a safe, it is paid, we did not use it.
The food is simple but edible. Breakfasts are always the same - boiled eggs, some kind of casserole (delicious by the way), sausages, vegetables, breakfast cereals, a lot of jam, honey, some sweet sauces. Coffee in a coffee machine. Hot milk. For lunch, one kind of mashed soup, two or three side dishes, nuggets, a lot of vegetables, both stewed and raw, desserts. But for dinner they always cooked something interesting - barbecue, meat like for shawarma, grilled chicken. From fruits - apples, plums, watermelon, melon. The afternoon snack is uninteresting - what semi-dry buns. The bar is open from 10 am to 10 pm. From drinks cola, Fanta, Sprite. From alcoholic beer, vodka, and two types of wine - red and white. Low-alcohol alcohol - like beer, like vodka.
The biggest minus of the hotel is the transfer to the sea. The beach itself is a 15-20 minute walk, but the road is terrible - through wasteland and under the scorching sun. The bus picks up people in the morning at 9.30 and 10.30 from the hotel. And at 16.00 and at 16.30 brings back. That is, if you want to get to lunch, go on foot. You can take a taxi to the hotel for $7. The beach itself is not bad, equipped with a toilet (clean), showers, a changing room. Sunbeds, umbrellas and mattresses for free. There is a bar on the beach, it is paid, the prices are high. You can’t go to the beach with your drinks, but we took water with us, no one told us anything. The entry into the sea is gentle, sandy, perfect for small children. The water is clean, clear and very warm.

There is no animation in the hotel as such. During our vacation three times there was a performance of Turkish dance groups. Music in the bar plays strictly until 23.00, then silence. We were not in the hotel in the evenings, we walked around the city. The hotel is located almost in the center of ancient Side, so there is something to see there. Nearby, about 20 minutes walk, the temple of Apollo, it looks especially beautiful at night, there is gorgeous lighting. You can also take a walk along the embankment in the evening, there are many cozy restaurants and shops with souvenirs and Turkish textiles. Almost next to the hotel there is a Waikiki store, McDonald's, Burger King. We took money in dollars with us, it is more profitable than in euros, so local sellers do not see the difference and the price is the same in dollars and in euros. In stores, if you pay in dollars, change is given in lira.
