Rest in Green Mah from 8 to 21 June 2013
We arrived at the hotel by the end of breakfast at about 10:00 we were promised to do everything possible and check in earlier than expected, but for now they offered to leave things at the reception and have breakfast. So we did, then went to the bar because. we were not dressed for such a heat. . In general, we were settled at about 12:30, as it should be according to the documents.
Cons of the hotel:
- shared air conditioning
with an incomprehensible mode of operation (on different days in different ways). But we were not in the heat and it did not spoil our holiday.
- elevators
beautiful, but often broke and only one of the three worked (sometimes I had to wait for 15 minutes). And they broke down from the heat and from the fact that children ride unattended and poke at all the buttons in a row. In general, it was very annoying to wait and climbed the fire escape a couple of times.
- abrupt entry into the sea

children without armlets or a circle will not let go
- 100% contingent of compatriots. (No comment. . . )
- lines for food and at the end of the meal you will no longer get meat and the most delicious dishes.
Lamb and beef not every day, a couple of times could not find a table. I didn't like the sweets, once I got a cake with mold.
- cakes "gozleme"
there is always a big queue near the beach bar. Once we stood for 40 minutes, I wanted to try it - it was delicious, but I didn’t want to stand anymore.
- disco in the poolbar until 12:00, even with a closed balcony, very loud and slept from 22:00 only the last week (apparently used to).
Pros:
- large territory
many flowers, palms, pines and various other plants, many walking paths. It was nice to walk, quite beautiful and well-groomed, most of the paths are illuminated at night (in the previous review I read that it was dark - it wasn’t, although I didn’t go out after 23:00). Never met a turtle
- big beach
small pebbles and sand where sunbeds. Depending on the weather, entering the sea is either a fine sand, or a rather tangible pebble (it didn’t interfere). . . the sea was both waves and absolute expanse, there were fish, but no one bit.
- warm water
- comfortable weather
- animation and miniclub
Everything is in Russian, we tried not to miss the show in the amphitheater, mostly invited teams (very, very interesting and colorful), except for the day of humor "Comedy" - the animators themselves arranged (didn't like it, they left). The children liked the mini disco at 20:30 (before the show), they also painted faces, glued applications, drew, etc. They didn’t offer to buy and paint anything, and they didn’t put anyone on the throne at the minidisco, as they wrote in the reviews in previous years. The only daytime entertainment took place from 12:00 and in the heat itself - they tried once and did not try again.
- Russian was understood by almost all workers.
- sunbeds

there was always enough on the beach, when it wasn’t enough once they took it near a stone embankment, they stand on top of each other there, while they dragged sunbeds, they brought us mattresses.
- pool water
It didn't smell of bleach and was always very clean, no visible debris and no skin irritation.
- slides
worked by the hour, near the pool you always have to smear with protective cream - you burn very much from the water.
- towels
always took in the morning clean and decent all the colors of sand (in the sense not dirty, but just such a color) and whole, not full of holes as they wrote earlier... they change behind the pool, work by the hour and during these hours change as much as you want.
- room
generally liked it. We lived in the main building, asked for a bungalow - they did not give it. Nice view of the sea and pools. The bathroom is clean - everything worked, I used my own hairdryer. Towels are snow-white without a single spot changed when you throw it on the floor. Cleaned not every day, but after dinner we often rested in the room (the child slept) and hung a sign. The bed was changed only once. A folding bed was placed for the child (the same bed, but without backs and with folding legs, as high as the main bed and an orthopedic mattress).
- food

in general, everything is tasty and varied, but for my taste, homemade is better. When we arrived, the first thing we cooked was green borscht))) Puree soups: pea, lentil, tomato - chopped greens and croutons nearby. In the mornings, delicious yoghurts simply and with fruits, scrambled eggs, pancakes. . . There are few fish, but especially tasty on the grill. We searched for several days for napkins until they asked)) they stand upstairs on a shelf above the food and merge with it)) We drank wine every dinner: red is pretty decent. Drinks and cocktails were made tastier and beautifully decorated in the hotel bar and champagne with a cherry was quite festive and tasty. Wine lovers and connoisseurs will probably not like it, but keep in mind that this is an all-inclusive hotel. The last week we dined at the beach bar: the food is the same, only there is no queue and not so stuffy. I really liked the oranges! Fragrant and juicy (and I thought that they grow in winter))) From the fruits there were watermelons, nectarines, plums, bananas, oranges and melons (I didn’t like the latter, everything else was delicious). In the shop on the territory bought strawberries and cherries (also delicious).
Vouchers for excursions were bought from the hotel guide "Elittour", who could not be found for a long time (literally they called for several days). I liked very much aquarafting and dolphinarium (child 6 years old). And on the beach they took an excursion to the waterfall and the caves on a boat: it is small and the caves are very loudly said, just a depression in the rock, but still liked it and did not regret it.
The sand is hot, be sure to take everyone flip flops, slates, but if you forget, you can buy it in a shop on site, like many other things.
Wi-fi caught my phone only in the lobby - we talked on Skype, etc. , and caught it in the room, but hung tightly.
The hotel staff worked like bees, sometimes I even felt uncomfortable when resting)).
Several times we went to Kadriye for shopping both in dolmus and in a taxi (we agreed with the company that the money came out as in dolmus). I took beautiful dishes for souvenirs (oriental painting ceramics), a lighter in the form of a dagger (they almost took it away at customs when they were translucent - they thought it was real because I put it in my purse on the plane). We bought a good suitcase for $ 35 and there was a wallet for my mother-in-law as a gift. They bought a German football uniform for my son, it is black and white, and now he proudly wears it to school for physical education (the requirement: a white T-shirt and black shorts is met)).
In general, the rest were very satisfied. The child is happy and still recalls the rest with a breath when he hears familiar music, dancing dances with a mini-disco))). We enjoyed our stay and would come to this hotel again if we didn't want to see something new. There were still friends with us, they had previously rested in Side in a hotel where mostly Germans and they didn’t like this hotel: the rooms are small, rudeness of compatriots, queues for food. By the way, you can’t take pebbles from the sea - they shook them out of a backpack from friends at customs.
