Very old hotel with the best animation

Travel time: 9 — 20 august 2009
Who does the author recommend the hotel to?: For a relaxing holiday; For families with children
I will say right away that if you rested in Lara, Kundu or Belek, then you should not go to Side. Hotels there are much lower level. Our hotel was one of the most decent in Side and quite expensive, although there were no imported drinks. Let's start:
territory: huge, green, interesting, everything is available (do not get lost). The huge water park is remote from the main territory, so it was annoying to go there. A huge number of pools for children and their parents.
beach: large, there were always enough places (although, like everywhere else, you need to borrow in the morning)
food: poor, few fruits, we can say that there is none at all. There is no children's menu. My 3 year old son only ate mashed potatoes. In general, I didn’t eat anything except watermelons and vegetables.
The drinks are disgusting. Even the cola and the sprite are of terrible diluted quality.

rooms: do not try to buy rooms in the main building. Old, central air conditioning - noisy or does not work at all. There are few rooms with a sea view (which we had), but it is worth noting that they are also with a view of the garbage dump - a paradox. You can live only in a bungalow, and then, if you're lucky and you get a bungalow, further from the footpath, along which crowds of people go to the aqua and back. Anex rooms, in general, are located somewhere outside the hotel (as our familiar vacationers complained to us)
contingent: mainly Russians with children and retired parents. If you're young and party you'll die of boredom there, although for the small number of young people staying there the animation team go out of their way, having a hard time getting 10 people a day for the play pool. There are few Germans, there are few French. Turks are present in moderate numbers (this is their country, after all).
staff: more arrogant and boorish behavior of staff I have not seen in any hotel. Everyone comes up. From the porters to the chefs, it's as if this hotel doesn't get fired for sexual relations with vacationers (as in all decent hotels).
animation: SUPER DJ well done. I haven't even seen it in person, but the music is great. Tuchetskaya is very small, mostly Europe. I still sing these songs to this day.
Special thanks to the team of photographers - great guys, almost all Russian-speaking (in general, all the staff in the hotel are Russian-speaking. Our kids were constantly entertained.
Bottom line: if you have a large family and children over 6 years old (they are interested in the water park), go there, but do not forget to look into the duty free for a drink upon arrival, because drinking local alcoholic drinks is simply not possible.
It is worth noting that the hotel is always on the foot. There are no places in the hotel
