коротко об отеле briefly about the hotel

Good afternoon everyone. I would like to say that no matter how you feel about reviews, reading them is still useful. Firstly, how many people, so many opinions, secondly, from all the reviews you can learn a lot of useful information.
What can I say about the hotel - not a fountain, of course, but since I read the reviews, I knew where I was going and for what purpose (to improve the child's health before school). The room is not big, they are all approximately the same in all buildings. The rooms are not new. Towels are changed when put on the floor. For 10 days the bed was not changed. The air conditioner dripped right into the bed, someone has already written this.
There are only 4 buildings, they make up the entire small territory of the hotel. Inside there are 2 pools, one of which is also divided into a children's mini paddling pool. It is not far to go to the sea, about 5-7 minutes, while walking along the alley, where a small market is located.

As for me, the prices for souvenirs in this market are lower than in the village. We went outside for souvenirs, believe me, we went very far from the hotel, and yet the prices were not pleasantly surprised. All bought on site. The beach is small and not very clean. I myself watched a dog that lives on the territory of the hotel behind building 4 defecate on the beach, though on the beach of a neighboring hotel, which for some may seem like a plus. Riders on horseback passed along the shore in the morning and in the evening, and also with the same consequences.
In general, it reminded me very much of Crimea, because they constantly wore tunics, bracelets, or some other things along the beach. The hotel is generally focused on the Slavs, the vast majority of Russians, then Ukraine, Belarus, Poland, the Baltic states and Turkey.
The beach is sandy, the sea is shallow, stones are very often found in the sea. Further into the sea lie large boulders. Therefore, when entering, be careful, do not fly into the water with a running start, you can get hurt very badly. We never had a chance to see the Caretta Caretta turtles. Although a friend was in this hotel and was more fortunate.
The staff is friendly, unobtrusive, mostly communicate in English.
There is a large selection of excursions, I wanted to get into ancient Side, which, in fact, I did.
Special thanks to the guides, I mostly talked with Fatma Ibragimova. And the transfer guides were great.
Food..... A separate and long conversation. I did not like it, this is my subjective opinion.
Breakfast - one kind of cereal and not tasty, yogurt, fried eggs or pancakes every other day, jams, hot chocolate, tea, coffee.
Lunch and dinner - side dishes are only pasta of various types and rice, very rarely mashed potatoes, chicken or fish, salads and greens. National salads that I don't use because I don't trust them.
The wine is not tasty - both bitter and sour, although many have used it.
I took a beer on tap and a gin and tonic in the evening.
Children's animation is weak. Adult - water aerobics, boccia, volleyball, evening shows.
The animators do not have an approved program, but it would be nice to think over the show program for at least 3-4 days.

To sum up - the hotel is weak (it was 5 * in Side in 2007, everything was super), if you go to take a break from the bustle of the big city, get distracted from work, you can close your eyes to the shortcomings and enjoy your vacation. The main thing is to treat everything philosophically and be pleasant in communication, no one will spoil your vacation.
Have a nice holiday everyone!!! !
