We rested in this hotel for 9 days, from August 22 to September 01.2017 with a family of 4 people: husband, wife and 2 children: 5 and 2 years old.
We bought a ticket there for 10 nights for $1405. It was one of the cheapest offers for five-star hotels in Side. We went to Side because of the sandy beaches, bribed the large territory of the hotel and the first line. At first they wanted to be cheaper, to go to the top three, but because of the kids, they decided to take a more comfortable hotel.
We read reviews, both good and bad, and decided to go. Here is our opinion:
The hotel is outdated. And today 5 stars are no longer there, of course. Twenty years ago, he could still lay claim to something, but in terms of room comfort today, this is a weak trio.
I thought what kind of renovation this hotel would help, no, demolish and build a modern building, or lose stars. Everything in this hotel is old, but the management is pursuing the right policy, focusing on moral comfort. That is, vacationers are well served there. In terms of staff and food - everything is very good. Cleaning of the rooms, service in the bars and in the dining room, everything is fine.
You can go to Caesar only if the price for it is cheaper than other fives in Side, somewhere at the level of the average four, otherwise it will be a pity for the money spent. We were sorry, $1405 for such an old recreation center is too much. The service is good, the territory is large enough, the beach is close, but the feeling that you are in the past does not leave you.
The hotel has a gym that Stephen King would have liked: desolation, some antediluvian machines and a pair of very rusty dumbbells on the floor, with no windows and a skewed front door. My husband and I took sports uniforms so that when the kids would sleep during the day, go to training, they would see such a gym, change their minds about doing it.
Therefore, look at the price, this Caesar will be at a discount - buy it, but as for a 5-star hotel, it makes no sense to pay for it today.
We read reviews about different buildings, saying that everyone wants to live in the main building, but this can only be done for an extra charge, otherwise they will be sent to an additional building outside the hotel, across the road. We have lived in both buildings. There is no need to be afraid of this building across the road, it is newer, and there are more rooms. And you will not find a decent view from the windows in Caesar almost anywhere. They managed to design it so mediocrely that the famous wretched Odessa veins nervously smoke on the sidelines forever.
The food in the dining room is good, everything is fine, everyone will find something to eat there. Drinking water is normal, every day they give 2 bottles of water to the rooms.
The hotel has 2 large swimming pools: a larger one near the main entrance and another near the beach. If you lie by a large pool, then you won’t reach the sea - it’s far away. If you sit by a small pool, then you can skimp once there, once in the sea, which we did. Both pools are good, there are enough sunbeds, mattresses and umbrellas for everyone, always. Near each there is a bar with drinks and snacks at certain hours.
The hotel has a lot of Turkish families, Russians and fewer Germans. Turks and Russians are approximately equal, with the difference that the Turks always come for a couple of days, so there is a turnover among Turkish vacationers. All people get along very peacefully with each other, we did not notice any conflicts. Turks, Russians, Germans, well, we are all in a miserable minority, all very peacefully resting in the hotel. Everyone is interesting to watch. The swimwear of religious Muslim women is a separate issue, it’s good that they swim even without socks. An interesting feature, a national trait of All Turkish men is a belly. They have a press to download, probably considered indecent, or religion forbids.
The hotel is not for young people, but rather for a quiet family vacation. It’s good with the kids there, let them out on the grass under the palm trees, they were given snacks from the bar and we don’t worry. There are children's pools, a pool with water slides for those who are older. There are toilets near each pool, everything is fine, but today it is no longer 5 stars. There is children's animation, every evening right after dinner you can go to a children's disco and kids like it.
It doesn't take much to get out of the city. But, if you dare, then there, behind the hotel, tourist and shopping districts begin with newly built shops, hairdressers and tour companies. The prices for excursions in these tour companies must be compared with the prices of your tour operator, because the street ones are not always cheaper, everything needs to be asked in detail. In general, the prices for excursions in Turkey bite. When we went on vacation, we read and heard enough and really wanted to go to the aquarium in Antalya. Upon arrival, it turned out that the four of us would cost $140 to go there! With us, for that kind of money, you can already buy a leather jacket or very good winter boots with fur. Therefore, instead of expensive excursions, we went to a real Turkish bath - called Hamam!
This procedure costs $15 for an adult, $10 for a child who is over 5 years old and free for very young ones. Do not go to the hammam at the hotel - not the right coat, and they take it expensive. It’s still unpleasant at the hotel, they figure out how much they can charge you and tell everyone different prices, I heard they wanted 30 and 45 dollars for a bath - this is completely unacceptable. We asked the tour company closest to the main entrance to our hotel how to get to a real Turkish bath, it turned out that they take us to a recently opened hammam, which is located in the basement of one of the inexpensive hotels. The price there is the same for everyone, it pleases. Plus - the hamam is small, there are no big companies there, or we are alone, or a couple of people. And everything there is new - pleasant.
Arly SPA is called - highly recommended!
Adequate price, hospitable attitude to each guest, plus a whole team works there with each visitor: there are only bath attendants, masseurs are different people, they put on a mask - generally third. It all lasts about 2 hours, you go to different rooms, they nurse you there, everything is pleasant, everything is fine, everything is clean. I noticed about the attendants, a girl from Central Asia works there, she spends longer than everyone else, very patient and meticulous. There are 2 more men there, one is very young, I didn’t notice the peculiarities of how he works, but I got Burak (he is older), I’m happy - his hands are tender. I was burned out after the beach, I was afraid of peeling, but he saw that my skin was reddened, and he did the whole procedure very gently. Therefore, if you go there after some sunburn, then you need Burak. And if you want to be nursed for a long time, then ask for a girl.
Separately, I want to say about the attitude of Turkish men towards white women - respectful. Everything is fine. You can go safely. The last time I was in Turkey was 6 years ago, in Kemer, where these men brought me to a scandal, they didn’t let me through, it was very unpleasant. Now they have grown up a lot - they have a European attitude, they don’t allow themselves anything, they even began to look at us differently, respectfully: respect and respect, I have ceased to be afraid of them.
This is such a hotel, such a rest, such a hammam. Ask for a discount on a hotel, get a good price and go to Caesar, take your children, parents, and leave your bad mood at home, because today you will not need it in Turkey.
