My husband and I stayed at this hotel in 2008. I really liked the hotel (were 3 times in Turkey). Excellent rooms with balconies, on the balcony: clothes dryer, table, 2 chairs.
The room has a bed with an orthopedic mattress, a sofa for relaxing, 2 bedside tables, a table, an ottoman, a mini-bar (replenished daily), a large mirror, a spacious closet in the corridor. Bathroom with a marble top next to the washbasin, all new plumbing, 2 bathrobes and slippers, all the necessary cosmetic accessories (good quality, olive-based). They clean up well.
Beautiful interior of the hotel itself: the corridors are interestingly decorated, an unusual floor with transparent windows covered with sand and shells, waterfalls in the buildings, a luxurious library hall, a lounge bar with a piano (every evening - live music: classics and jazz compositions).

An excellent SPA center, service by appointment, massages are beyond praise (I recommend stone massage, that is, hot stone massage), a beautiful hammam (I used to be in other places, it’s just a fairy tale here! ). Indoor swimming pool - 25 m. with panoramic windows around the perimeter. Jacuzzi (free of charge) + jacuzzi with sea water (extra charge).
The staff speaks good German, good English, not all Russian: the girl at the reception, a little - animators, waiters - a little. But you can always explain yourself, they always try to understand you and fulfill your requests. I appreciate the work of the staff.
The food is varied, really high level, everything is fresh and tasty. Lots of fish, meat dishes, vegetables and especially fruits. Desserts are magical.
Fresh juices are made in the morning. Bottled water is always available (refrigerators are located around the hotel).
The area is medium in size, very well maintained, flowers everywhere.
Multi-colored pillows are scattered across the lawn for those who want to sunbathe. There are also 2 rocking benches for relaxation.
The hotel has 3 swimming pools: 2 outdoor and 1 indoor in the SPA-center.
The upper pool is called quiet, only adults relax there, children are not allowed there, it was created for relaxation and rest after hard office work. In fashionable places, this is now practiced.
The lower large pool with a bridge-transition has an interesting shape, there are 3 slides. For kids, there is a separate part of the pool and there is also a tiny hill-elephant (I have never seen anything like this before).
There are quite a lot of sunbeds near the pools, we were at the beginning of the season, there was enough space for everyone. Perhaps it will be different in the season, but near the sea there will be no problems with places, I think.
Clean beach. At the entrance to the sea there are large stones in some places, but not everywhere, the entrance on the right is gentle and without stones, it will be convenient for children. There is also a pier, it is very convenient to enter the water from it, immediately deep. There are a lot of loungers on the beach.

The animators work very well: during the day, darts, archery, gymnastics in the pool, oriental dances in the amphitheater (there are daily show programs in the evenings, the best, in my opinion, the Mongolian circus, Turkish folk dances, acrobats from the Congo) . There are guys who spend the whole day playing games for children. Believe me, you won't be bored!
Not far from the hotel, in the village there is a taxi rank. You can always get to the historical center of Side on your own. In the shops everywhere there are books about Turkey and the city in Russian.
I am writing a review 2 years after this trip, I really liked the hotel (the SPA center is pure pleasure! ), There were no problems, all issues were resolved immediately. If possible, we will gladly return with my husband here more than once.
I recommend this hotel for families.
