we arrived a few weeks ago, rested in May, everything is fine, the flight both there and back and in general.
I can tell you a little about the hotel.
The territory is not large but neat and green, 4 buildings, upon arrival we were settled in one in which we lived alone for three whole days, then there was already a check-in =)
One restaurant in it and breakfast and lunch and dinner, there is also a bar on the beach (there from 12 to 16 snacks and drinks)
3 swimming pools, two open, one of them with 2 slides and one indoor, but it is not working yet.


The hotel itself is average (I don’t know how the star rating is considered, therefore I can’t say whether it corresponds or not), the rooms are clean but old-fashioned (steps, railings, walls . . it looks like a school =) and the funniest thing, the rooms are in two shells, exactly the same (as in photo) a room with two beds, a balcony and a small toilet (there is a shower with oilcloth in the toilet) we were not in the other two buildings, they are family, there may be a larger room there, but I think the condition is the same.
But in a couple of days you get used to it and do not pay attention to some bad details.

The windows of two buildings look out onto the pool, the other two look out onto other hotels, and animation is heard there.
Close to the beach, you need to walk 3 minutes along the green alley, the beach is clean and the sea too, the water is clear, the entrance is good, other hotels have a rocky entrance, they swam on other people's beaches.

Animation daily, this is the standard, aerobics, water polo, volleyball, boccia, darts. In the evening - dancing with children and then for adults or pranks with guests (Miss / Mister / couple Bella Sun) or Turkish night (oriental dances)
After the Animation at the hotel, everyone was taken to a disco and returned back at 3 am.
I didn’t go to the disco, I can’t tell you more.

The first 5 days were only Russians and Ukrainians, then they left, Germans, French and Turks arrived.

Regarding food, there was not a strong variety, we used to rest in Marmaris, too, 4 stars, there was more variety both with fruits and with general food.
Here from fruits - apples, oranges
Breakfast, scrambled eggs, eggs, salads, cheese, sausage, milk, cereal
Lunch, salads, mashed potatoes (or rice, vermicelli, french fries) meat, stewed/fresh vegetables, pizza
Dinner, salads, mashed potatoes (or rice, vermicelli, french fries) meat, fish, stewed/fresh vegetables
Sweet, several types of cakes, 3 of them are sooo delicious =)
I was very surprised by the tea, since I am a tea drinker, and I thought there would be a better choice in Turkey, here they offered only one black tea bagged Lipton. And everywhere, even at the airport and other places, only Lipton is very strange.

The city of Side itself is normal, nothing special, unless, of course, you count its beautiful zest - an ancient city, which you can walk along the beach or around the city through shops, and absolutely free to walk and take pictures near the ancient columns, etc. entrance to the amphitheater for a fee (10 Lira).


A huge plus of the hotel is its staff, managers, reception, cleaners, cooks - very positive, sincerely smiling, unobtrusive, doing their job very well.
I can’t say anything about the animation team, because I didn’t spend much time with them.

I heard conversations in the restaurant and on the beach, the guests have good reviews, everyone is happy, because in principle the price corresponds to the quality, and no one wanted chic for $ 400.
People are different and children and youth and old people.

In principle, everything was ok, we had a good rest!
