We went in May, so we were afraid that it would be cold. Initially, they wanted to go to Kemer, but they assumed that it was still cool there and agreed to Seda. Then they regretted it a thousand times. There is nothing to do in Side, unless you are with small children of course. Side and Alanya are only for families with children. And so it is necessary to go to Kemer and further to the west, it is very beautiful there and the sea is gorgeous.

By hotel. That's horrible. There are a lot of people, especially children. When we took a tour in TezTour (I strongly do not recommend it), we asked for a hotel with foreigners, we wanted to take a break from ours, for which we were selected a hotel with 100% Russian speakers. Fine. We arrived at the hotel at 13.00, of course we were told that there were no rooms and we could be accommodated either in the hotel opposite for the whole time or in a room overlooking the construction site or in a hotel closer to the sea but for 2 days, and then relocated to this hotel back. We agreed to the 3rd option, and what a blessing that we did, since that hotel turned out to be Club Bella Luna (a hotel for Germans).

When you come to Bella Luna, it feels like you came from a bistro to a restaurant. There are not a lot of people there, everything is clean, decent, beautiful, friendly people around, well, what we were looking for is simple.

After 2 days we had to move out, although they tried to bribe the reception to leave us, but they didn’t, although some other similar migrants were left for the entire rest.
We went to demand a room in Bella Sun, so that the suitcases could be immediately dragged to the room, and not be evicted from one hotel, and then be without a room in another. We were promised 2a rooms (we are 4ro), which will be checked out after 12. Well, ok, we will come after dinner and check in. After lunch we check out to Luna and arrive with suitcases in Sun. We are given the keys to the rooms, and in the rooms .....other people's things. It turned out that people did not check out, but paid the reception for another 2 days. Fine. Again, there are no rooms, we were offered a 4-bed. Well, at least something.
Compensation - a safe for free and fruits and wine in the room (which we waited for on the 3rd day, after 4 reminders).

The rooms are tired, bed linen with stains as well as towels. They remove badly. Every day in the evening razvlekalovo on site, yelling incredibly loud until 12 midnight or even later. It is impossible to sleep, as the windows are single-leaf and nifiga do not protect against noise.

Beach. On the Sun side there was a kapets, like in an anthill, there were not enough sunbeds, it came to fights. It's good that we had a pass to Luna beach and we rested like kings. But here the sea itself is shallow and the bottom is full of boulders and algae. Constantly besh about them and it is impossible to swim.

Tours. We took an excursion to Kekovo from TezTour (I repeat - I strongly DO NOT recommend it) and were furious. They paid a lot of money and for this we were taken to the shops, where they tried to sell us something and gave us some time for the sights themselves.

We spent the day and did not have time for dinner at the hotel, we arrived at 10 pm, although the TezTour representative promised that we would return at 7.30-8 pm. Also, the guide himself actively promoted those stores to which he took us and actively imposed their products on us. Well, what nonsense, for my money, they also wanted to swindle me for more money! Of course we didn't buy anything. In Thailand, for example, we had 2 excursions from a tour operator, but they were free, I didn’t mind dropping into a couple of shops along the way, with whom they collaborated, since the excursions themselves were good and free. And then they wanted to divorce me for my own money.

In general, the Turks are very cunning and constantly want to breed (at least where we rested, I won’t say for everyone, since I also met quite honest ones). Therefore, be careful in the markets.
By the way, all the souvenirs and Turkish delights on site are several times cheaper than the market in Side or nearby markets, and even more so shops during the tour.

Conclusion: I do not recommend the hotel for young couples without children, and especially for active friends.

PS: you will go on an early excursion, in the evening take food (buters, fruits, vegetables) at dinner, as their lunch boxes are very scarce - 2a slices of bread, 2a slices of sausage, 1 slice of cheese, honey, nutella, butter, margarine and all. If possible, pour yourself tea / coffee in a thermos, since where you will have breakfast, tea costs 2 bucks and coffee 4.
