To begin with, I have been to a lot of places and seen a lot of things, and this review will be of interest specifically for advanced travelers, tourists who have already been to Turkey once and have something to compare with, may not read my review! And so all trips to Turkey are only 5 stars - Ultra. I always choose hotels myself, relying 95% on the reviews of this site. What is important when choosing a hotel in any country, the best value for money at the time of the trip! What would be the best hotel for this money and what would not be a similar hotel, but cheaper. Well, as they say, there is a hole in the old woman, the second time I made a mistake and again in Turkey! Departure from Krasnoyarsk on May 23 for 10 nights, 54.000 rubles. for two. A lot or a little, as they say, everything is known in comparison!
I will try to touch in my review only those nuances that are not widely reflected in previous reviews.
And so in order, a few days before departure, I contacted the hotel representative through the website and said that I was going to celebrate my birthday, as the description of the hotel said "If you have a birthday, wedding anniversary or any other celebration during your vacation, We will be happy to organize all possible events for you to make this day truly special! " Well, looking ahead, I’ll say that no one except my companion at the hotel remembered my birthday! I also asked for a settlement in the 6th building on the 2nd floor, about which the answer came, we will do our best.

Arrival at the hotel at 15-00 local time, I voice a request about the 6th building and the 2nd floor, without money, within 5 minutes. give, though 1 floor of the 6th building. And here I have the first shock! Gentlemen, the number of rooms in this hotel corresponds to 3 stars! Small, not cozy rooms with painted tiles in the toilet! In Thailand, in triplets, the numbers are much prettier! Now I will only express my opinion, but it seems to me that 5 stars and HV are not compatible concepts.
The territory, it is very large and beautiful, the distance from the far building to the sea, according to rumors, is 700 meters. Whether such a territory is needed, plus or minus, is up to you!
Food, and again surprise! For the first time I saw how some delicious desserts ended 5 minutes after the start of dinner, they were actually put out no more than 30 pieces and they were not brought anymore, with the number of vacationers about 1500 people! When I asked how this could be, they told me, what do you want, many of 2 pcs. take! The same thing happened with apricots, by the way, in 11 days they were given 2 times, once there was a watermelon, there were no strawberries and cherries at all! That is, the complete absence of seasonal fruits! When I raised the question to the representative of Pegasus Elena (a very unpleasant person), she told me that there was nothing like strawberries 10 days ago and you had to go to the hotel where they give it! In general, in this hotel you can feel the window dressing everywhere! Turkish night, kebab is fried, at the distribution the chef throws broken pieces (no more than 5 cm) into the plates of vacationers like dogs, there was a great desire to throw this meat back in his face! I understand that meat in Turkey is expensive and it really is cooked in large quantities in the hotel, you could just reduce the number of meat dishes. Everything else, as far as food is concerned, is at a high level, they are fed everywhere, a lot and varied, for sure no one will remain hungry!
Alcohol, but here's the fun! I understand that the stars in Turkey are relative, so they are also lying in concept! There is no ultra in this hotel! But if you want to have 50 grams of imported brandy poured for you, then you just need to find the main guest relation Evgenia, take her by the hand, go to the bar and they might pour you, but as soon as she leaves, then everything will end right away! All other Turkish-made drinks are present in full, advanced travelers know their quality!

Sea and beach. I was in Side for the first time, gentlemen, I have never seen such a bad beach and a terrible entry into the sea anywhere in Alanya! We personally went only from the pier! When people pay a lot of money for Belek, I understand this, when I myself paid for Antalya, Lara and Kunda, I also understand, but why is Side better than Alanya ?? ? This is a mystery to me! The fact that it is 30 minutes. closer in driving from the airport, so leaving the hotel even to Manavgat was problematic, not to mention Side and Alanya! In my presence, a blue flag was handed to the beach of the hotel, the owner of the hotel spoke, by the way, he is a Turk, and not a Chechen at all, as they wrote in the reviews, so I still did not understand what the trick of this flag was! It's probably the same as the stars and the concept of the hotel. By the way, in Side the sea is stormy much more than in Alanya!
The pools are amazing! Many, separated from each other, you can’t hear or see screaming children at all, although there are a great many of them in the hotel!
Animation, here is a solid 5+! I have never seen such a competent combination of local and visiting animation even in the Baron of Sharm el-Sheikh! Negro dance show, live music, foam discos, just class!
And one more fly in the ointment without a barrel of honey! I appeal to the moderator of this site! If the description of the hotel on your website states a lobby bar open 24 hours a day... Gentlemen, there is no lobby bar at all !! ! The lobby bar is a closed room with soft sofas, and not a bar on the active pool with plastic chairs, tables wet from moisture in the evening and night mosquitoes!
And finally, if you still choose this hotel for your trip, then be aware of the major operators, this hotel sells only Pesas, they have a basic one, so as long as there are seats on the flight, this hotel will not stop! They have it for all dates on instant confirmation.
