2 days since we returned home, but at night we dream that we are still there, and when you wake up and realize that you are at home... you are disappointed.
They were in Turkey for the first time (before that they traveled all over the Crimea - both cheap and expensive). The hotel was chosen at the last moment according to the principle: the best of inexpensive. Then, of course, we read reviews, both good and bad, so we went skeptical. We were 3 girls and 3 children aged 11. Bought vouchers for 2 different rooms. First, we were offered 1 room, and the second through the first one, we did not agree and we were offered another room (at no extra charge) in building 1 (where the reception is), on the 2nd floor. The room turned out to be a VIP apartment, we were just lucky that it was free. The room is very good, cozy, all the furniture is wooden, carpets on the floor, etc. , in the jacuzzi bathroom (and not a shower on the floor, as in other rooms). True, we had one toilet and shower for 2 rooms, but this did not bother us.
In general, I think who goes for what, we initially thought that we would not pay attention to minor flaws, such as they rarely clean up, etc. (in Crimea we generally clean ourselves). But we were satisfied with the service. Cleaned every day, towels thrown on the floor and changed. There were a couple of times that we refused to be cleaned (we slept just right).

You have to get used to food or eat what you know. We had enough food, the children even got better. In general, there is a lot of food, I think everyone can choose something for themselves. The chef constantly greeted everyone and carved beautiful figures from fruits and vegetables in the evenings. I would like to note the general atmosphere both in the hotel and in general in Side: everyone is very friendly, smiling, good-natured, tidy. I have never seen anyone swear (and ours, by the way, too, although many write that we behave boorishly). Everything was very cultural. The service staff is 99% male and they do it with such dignity that we need to learn from them. For us women, it is so nice to be served and surrounded by attention from men. Yes, by the way, the Turks are very beautiful for the most part... They always make compliments and flirt, even though there are children nearby. And in general, our men need to learn from them (no offense) how to treat women. A woman is a goddess for them. And when we arrived in Boryspil, we immediately encountered the rudeness of our men. . .
The sea, however, I didn’t really like it - it’s a bit small and very salty, you don’t dive much. But on the last day we went to the left, between two pontoons (a wooden bridge and a blue pontoon), where the sea is cleaner, deeper, and from the blue pontoon, if you watch, you can see sea turtles. By the way, you can go to another hotel for sunbeds, no one checked us.
It seems to me that I could write a whole book about this week of rest. Everyone did not want to leave.
All in all, I recommend this hotel and may come again.
I advise you to visit the hamam (women be careful, after it seditious thoughts appear).
We went rafting - it's super, an unforgettable experience, do not spare the money and go.
I want to say special thanks to Tez-Tour. They are great, everything is so organized, the guides at the hotel (Ivan and Vasilina) will always help with all questions, etc. Many of my friends travel only with them, and now I will also trust them with my vacation.
In general, guys, have a good rest!
