The food is varied, breakfast - late breakfast - lunch - dinner - late dinner. Lots of different restaurants and bars. You can eat continuously if you wish. I especially liked the grill. The staff is polite, the animation is unobtrusive. Mini disco for kids. A wonderful clean beach, along the coast you can walk for kilometers instead of a promenade. … More ▾ The food is varied, breakfast - late breakfast - lunch - dinner - late dinner.

At the reception of HAMA. We were put in a room with access to the household. the yard, where the units of the slides were noisy and the grinders were working. The room was damp and not cleaned. After a big scandal, they moved me to a room on the second floor - it seems to be good in appearance. But the air conditioner did not work during the whole holiday. to our requirements
repair - they pretended to be concerned but did nothing. They changed some detail - it began to make noise like mad, they changed something else - it stopped working altogether.
SO THINK BEFORE YOU GO HERE.

My husband and I traveled together, we have extensive experience in traveling abroad and accommodation, as everyone writes: "there is something to compare with.

"
We wanted a hotel with a good beach, where you can always find sunbeds, even if you already overslept breakfast : ) The beach is really good, big, the sand is clean (of course, hotel guests are struggling with this, but the staff regularly collects garbage from bins and sand too ). There are really always free sunbeds at any time of the day (we were in July), the distance between you and the neighbors will please you - this is not an urban micro-beach, who, like us, loves personal space, will appreciate it.
We were settled not in the morning upon arrival, but at the appointed time at 14, the bracelets were put on immediately.
If you also arrive in the morning, do not try to sit in the lobby before checking in - in the spa on the 1st floor there are special rooms for boys / girls with a shower and lockers with a combination lock, called "change room" / "change room", here you can rinse after the road, change into a swimsuit and, importantly, leave extra things from your "hand luggage". Along with the bracelet, they give cards for towels, which you need to get and then change in the same spa center. Have breakfast and go to the beach.
The hotel is predominantly Germans, saw Czechs and Poles, the French. We are from Kyiv, we have never met compatriots, we have met Russians several times - all well-mannered adequate people, in general, there is definitely no Slavic tagil here, fortunately. But, since the hotel is family-run, there are almost no noisy adult entertainments either.
The food is excellent, sausages are not soy, I only eat fish - there was always a choice of several types of fish. Meat and poultry in a variety of variations.
Station with pasta, with pizza, VERY delicious soups, especially the signature Turkish lentil soup. Good cheeses, for the first time, except for any soft ones, we met an old hard parmesan-type cheese in a package hotel. Shrimps were also several times, though marinated, enough for everyone - not 3 things in hand, but take as much as you like. Sweets, as elsewhere in normal hotels in Turkey, are excellent. In the morning, during breakfast, they put a cooling container with a slightly diluted orange juice (you can feel the dilution, but just a little), it is constantly filled, there is also enough juice for everyone. Fruits - excellent watermelons, delicious melons and cherries, peaches, plums, bananas, oranges, grapefruits and something else, which the hands did not reach, the fruits also never ended. Waiters run around, quick, bring drinks. In the part of the restaurant, which is on the street, there is a smoking and non-smoking area.
By the way, the free drinks package includes a nice cocktail list - the mojito in the lobby was just delicious.
About the numbers. Ours went out to the main entrance to the hotel, but there is a real garden around, and on the horizon the Taurus Mountains generally look epic in a light haze. We talked with people who lived in a room overlooking the sea, and suddenly it turned out that they were unhappy, because the hot food court is located on the street just below their rooms, respectively, the set of aromas of different foods mixed in the air adds to the experience ...I would she said this: if you want a "quiet" balcony - better with a view of the garden, rooms with sea views overlook the pools and bars with constant noise and traffic. In the room, in addition to a mini-bar with cola-fantami-mineral water, there is a kettle and tea-coffee-sugar bags. Guest slippers available, no bathrobes. The mini-bar, by the way, is replenished, no need to remind.
Pools: the main contingent is the Germans, they are lovers of the pools, not the beach.
Everything around the pools was always packed, even the lawns around were filled with sunbeds. A cool children's pool for small ones, there are two slides - they worked on a schedule every day. By the way, if you are a fan of water slides, there is a water park with the same name behind the neighboring Nashir hotel, it takes a few minutes to walk along the beach (if facing the sea, then to the left). The entrance is paid, like the price is 45 euros per carcass (they give towels and something else), but we didn’t go ourselves, we only heard something from someone about prices. The water park is small, but there are enough slides, there are a couple of rather dumb ones (I would not climb, but my husband looked interested). On the left side of the hotel beach there is a tent where you can order various water activities - a banana, a tablet (more like a sofa), a parachute flight over the beach, maybe something else we did not recognize.
I can’t tell you almost anything about children’s animation, but since I met information on the Internet about a hotel puncture with animation for “Slavic” children, I will mention: we saw a Russian-speaking group of children with animator girls, once they sculpted different animals from the sand on the beach, and a couple of times they ran across the lawns as part of some competitions - the children were happy, yelling and making noise, as it should be for happy healthy children : ) I can’t say anything about playrooms and other children’s infrastructure.
At the reception you can change the currency, if you are going to Side, do not forget that you can pay for the entrance to the ancient amphitheater and the museum only in lira. Taxi 10-11 euros from the hotel to Side and the same amount back. Taxis can be found right outside the hotel gates, there are always a couple of cars on duty. It is also easy to return back, the taxi is full.
There are stands with fares everywhere from where you are to several main points, you don’t need to bargain with taxi drivers (fuuuuf ... ), the cars are branded - they are easy to distinguish.
You can ride a dolmush - a local minibus, the fare is cheaper - about a dollar per passenger (usually they give dollar bills for 1 dollar, in lira you can also, of course), but you need to walk 10-15 minutes from the hotel entrance to the highway, we are lazy, so went by taxi.
There are electric scooters at the entrance to the hotel, you can rent them and ride around the lake and through the surrounding coniferous forest - the air is fabulous. Management is easy, they do not go very fast, even pensioners coped.
Immediately behind the lake there is a promenade with shopping malls and cafes. There you can also rent bicycles directly from the rental automatic racks. This is if you are against solid sealing.
For myself, I found 2 minuses in the hotel:
1. Coffee from coffee machines is, of course, so-so ..
Who is a fan, I advise you to catch a boy with a kettle during breakfast, he pours brewed coffee, similar to coffee from a drip coffee maker (once I didn’t ask what was in the kettle, but there the same boy suddenly had tea : ) better to clarify).
2. In the evenings, people sit on the open terrace near the lobby bar and drink something, so for some reason the staff always wipes the tables with wet rags, sponges, after which you won’t put your hand on the table for 10 minutes, nor any things. A trifle, but somehow unpleasant.
Wi-fi catches everywhere - in the room, on the beach, etc. , a couple of times during dinner it slowed down a bit, but it still loaded the pages, probably depending on the load.
They took a hookah (10 euros, it seems), you can order it at the bar on the left side of the beach or on the lobby terrace. So: the hookah was incomparable! Very light and at the same time saturated (I am writing as a fan who has 2 hookahs at home). Highly recommend.
Note: to communicate with waiters and bartenders, at least minimal English is desirable, however, even without it, they will try to understand you to the best of their ability. There is a Russian-speaking girl Malika at the reception, but she was not there during our arrival and check-in. Perhaps they can call her in case of a language barrier, we did not have a need for this.

Have a good rest and happy travels!

We rested at the hotel from August 21 to September 1.2018. I must say right away that the hotel is a real five stars and a real “ultra” with elements of high class, luxury and a la carte, unless, of course, you read this card.

I must say right away that the hotel is a real five stars and a real “ultra” with elements of high class, luxury and a la carte, unless, of course, you read this card. We sat down very quickly in a good room, spent. He returned to "thank", they offered to charge the money in the box type. When you move in, money decides very little, if they say “no”, then no, if you pay attention to the settler, how you put money into the type of box, you can count on the best of what is. The area is relatively small, but very well maintained, everything is close. There are five pools, one of them is indoor, try to find relaxation yourself, you won't regret it. The restaurant is very pleasant in appearance, and the choice of dishes delighted us, there is fish (salmon, sea bass, dorado, mackerel, tuna), shrimps, lamb, veal, beef, rabbit, duck, quail, turkey, chicken, when anything, do not miss it yourself . From fruits I took peaches, pears, nectarines, plums, watermelons, melons, grapes, grapefruits. There are juices in packages, I like tomato, so I can’t say anything about the rest. Cherry poured himself from the machine. If you need everything yourself and at once, then you won’t be able to fully enjoy your meal, a short wait will surely reward you with the attention of a waiter who will bring drinks that are not freely available, as is customary in this hotel, this is the a la carte element. In my opinion, the food deserves a high rating, absolutely safe, checked. In bars, you can do as you like, or come up to take what you asked or sit down and they will bring you to the table. Whiskey VAT 69, rum (Havana), tequila (Italy), vermouth and Baileys are also Italian. Bartenders know how everyone loves mojito, so to speed up service, they make preparations for it in their free time. The rest is the fulfillment of your fantasies, which I have been amazed more than once. The queue of eight people comes in about five minutes, so, especially at first, be patient and get more than expected. Ice cream from 11-12 o'clock, in the pool bar there is a refrigerator in it Algida 3 or 4 varieties on a stick, take as much as you want. I liked the professional work of the following employees - the manager of the main restaurant and pool bar Mahmut Karakus, the waiter of the Turkish cafe Ismail Hakki Korkmaz, the lobby bartender Osmen Ekiztas, the bartender of the Turkish cafe Taner Dilek, the main restaurant Ibrahim Giltepe and others whose names I managed to remember Huseyin Hakaz, Diyar Kapaaslon , Ozgul Demirtas, Emre. In the hotel, mostly imported shows, this is an element of high class. Very beautiful and entertaining, live music performed by two or three soloists. Go-go girls at parties and foam discos, familiar costumed characters for round dances and photos for children. Acrobats, circus performers, gymnasts. When this is not the case, the animation team led by Fatih Jol, Chef Muha, Schaby-Saban Ak is actively working. After all the fun, DJ Murat Dirthex takes over. The disco continues until late at night. The hotel does not impress with its decoration and architecture, it consists of two buildings. We lived in a new one. The most valuable thing in the hotel is the people who organize and provide the rest. They work for you, and you rest for them and, leaving the hotel, note that the rest was wonderful. Of the minuses, everyone comes up with, and I will write, the main minus of the hotel is the bracelets, I changed them 4 times, before dinner I went to the counter, without talking one was cut off, the other was put on. If you don’t like bracelets at all, then after looking around a bit, take it off, at the gate, when you return to the hotel, you will show a card or a key. In short, there are no cons. The sea is almost always with a wave, I went in slippers, so I didn’t experience any problems. I rode on two slides, there are no seams. We went to Alanya with Intourist. Were in Side for antiquity and in Manavgat for shopping. I walked along the sea to the right, beauty, and also to the left - the poor, visited the Manavgat park between the river and the sea, where barbecue facilities are freely available. I recommend the hotel, I realized that you can safely go to Rio Kaya Belek, because I don’t return to one place.

Good afternoon.
We had a family vacation from August 14 to August 24.2018.
Hotel: We settled in the old building (number 101), view of the restaurant. Towels were changed every day, linen every two or three days.
Restaurant: The variety of dishes - everything is just super! Soups are mostly for lovers, not familiar to us (lentils, yogurt, Mexican... everything is spicy), but in the children's menu - peas, chicken). Baking is VERY DELICIOUS! Ate for breakfast, lunch, dinner.
Fruits (watermelon, banana, melon, peach, plum, figs, apples, grapes, pears).
Dried fruits: prunes, figs, dried apricots, mulberries, raisins.
Food is plentiful.
In the evening they ate from the kitchen on the street - fish, squid, pasta, barbecue, shrimp.
A snack bar is open during the day.
In general, you will not leave hungry)))
The children ate ice cream for lunch and dinner.
Pools: Clean, warm. Slides for both children and adults are good.
Territory: well-groomed, green, clean and thoughtful.
Beach: Large, clean, there is always a place for sunbeds. The entrance to the sea is not the most pleasant, but we went in normally. If your feet are tender, I advise you to buy special shoes.
Games: Volleyball, bocha, football (children, adults), tennis (large and table), darts, archery, aerobics, water polo - the whole day is scheduled)
Children's club: animators are engaged in children - just good guys! One of the days they baked cookies, there was some joy)))
Evening programs: starts with a mini-disco - children run hopping to jump into the dance. Next: performance (Mongolian acrobats, Fire show, Mister and Miss hotel, Acrobats, comic gum. ) every day a new performance. Then: Disco, Karaoke, etc.
ANIMATION: this is perhaps the strongest side of the hotel!! ! The team of guys is sooo good!! ! Thank you all so much for our wonderful holiday. (Masha - takes care of children as her own! Girls - Lighters !!
Shabi taught me how to shoot a bow. The fly is a favorite of our children, knows his business. Each member of the team is a professional! We didn’t go anywhere because we didn’t want to miss a single event! Children are delighted!
We, too! Pool games are well thought out. And the dance after them unites everyone. WELL DONE BOYS!!!
You are super!

For the first time I decided to write a review in many years of travel. In Turkey for the fourth time, I have never had such a terrible vacation. Review is real, from a real tourist. I'll start in order) we rested in this hotel from 06/25/18 to 07/04/18 with my husband, daughter 2 years old, sister and sister. We went with the child for the first time, we thought to have a rest with the whole family) So, the hotel is far from 5 *, but a solid 4 ka, and not UI as it was stated on the site at the time of choosing the tour, but AL. The trip from the airport to the hotel takes not an hour, as they say everywhere, but 1.5 hours. On the way back to the airport we drove in general 1.45. Wifi is not good even at the reception. The staff is rude, ignorant of our money, do not care. The cleaning of the rooms is poor, the mini bar was not always replenished, although it is free and should be replenished every day. The toilets on site are very dirty, with trash bins always overflowing and no soap. The pools are clean enough, the beach is also not bad. There were always enough sun loungers on the beach, which can not be said about the pool. Maybe this would not have happened if some tourists did not occupy sunbeds and did not come. Spa is just terrible, both in terms of services and cleanliness, very, very dirty, it smells of dampness. I'll go to the restaurant. . . the dishes are dirty, sticky, chipped on the plates. Breakfasts are monotonous, every day the same thing, there was not even porridge. A couple of times there were even sour spoiled vegetables??? ? Lunches are better, dinners are normal. The ONLY PLUS is a large green and clean area. Now about the most unpleasant. . . daughter caught an enterovirus infection, COXACIE! 3 days before departure, a high temperature rose, 39. one. . . went to the hospital, activated the insurance deductible, $30.... the doctor examined, diagnosed angina. By the way, Turkish doctors never put coxsacks in order not to cause panic, do they need Russian tourists ??? ? they made an antihistamine, put a paracetamol candle, prescribed antibiotics and sent me to the hotel. On the day of departure, my daughter developed a rash all over her body, in addition to this, her husband had poisoning (vomiting, diarrhea, fever). Thank God we flew home safely and immediately went to the pediatrician. As it turned out, we didn’t have any sore throat, it was the beginning of an enterovirus! As a result, the whole family is sick of this muck of coxsackie, it is called they went to rest! I hope my review is helpful! Prices are very high, Calimera kaya side is a terrible hotel and not worth the money spent (2 adults and 1 child 134t. R)!! !

A separate word is KITCHEN a paradise for meat eaters)))) SEPARATE grill area, where there is always something tasty, veal, salmon, kebabs, tongue, meatballs, etc. , a lot of fruits and delicious cookies.... We had a good room on the first floor, the hood was a little buzzing, but the bar was replenished daily, the only way out was in the lobby and on the territory of the pools, in the room for a fee.... the best rooms in the new building, detached building on the right near the pool.....The sea is clean, the beach is sand, the entrance to the sea is small pebbles and then flat stones, new sunbeds on the beach are quite clean...... Reading some reviews, I was surprised by the biased attitude of some mothers)))) so I highly recommend this hotel, especially for quite no more money, Relax and enjoy, I will be happy to answer your questions

Well, what can I say, if they knew that everything would be like this, probably, they would not have gone better at all. My husband and I are not picky travelers, we usually rest in Europe in inexpensive hotels. But this year we went to the sea primarily for the sake of our daughter, who is 2.5 years old. I wanted a relaxing family holiday in a hotel with a concept for families with children. Turkey seemed to fit perfectly. They hoped that in Turkey they missed the Russians, and expected at least a warm welcome, and at the most respect for the guests who bring their money to this country. Looking ahead, I will say that expectations, to put it mildly, were not met. So, in more detail:
The flight was at night (as usual, changed at the last moment, charter). Therefore, the hotel was early in the morning, at 9 o'clock. We ordered an individual transfer from the airport, because it was very difficult with a small child after a sleepless night. Plus, I'm 6 months pregnant. At the reception, we were put on bracelets (paper, dada) and offered to go down for breakfast, and come up to 14 o'clock to get the keys. In advance from Moscow, we asked for an early check-in, no one was interested. At the reception we offered to pay for early check in.... No, sorry, the hotel is full. Well, ok, we decided what to do, and went to breakfast. Literally after breakfast, the receptionist approached us and offered to get a room right now. Happiness knew no bounds. But exactly until the moment when we entered this room and turned off the air conditioner. It turns out that we were "lucky" to get into room 417. This is the one that is located next to the ventilation shaft of the restaurant. When the balcony door is open, the rumble in the room is like from a Boeing on takeoff... When it is closed, the wall is shaking... To say that we were shocked is to say nothing. Sleeping, and in principle being there is unrealistic, but we arrived for 10 days, and with an eye on relaxation, not survival... We returned to the reception and asked to change the room. The staff made round eyes - like, a room with a sea view and you don't like it ? ! Is it really that noisy? Well, look at this one, the 315th, but it's not ready yet. We went up there - the room overlooks the amphitheater in which animation takes place, that is, our small child, according to the entertainment schedule, will not sleep until 22.30 (usually at 20.30 we are already getting ready for bed)... There are no other rooms, they told us this , Sorry. Probably, it was not the most beautiful picture when a pregnant woman stands in the lobby and cries from fatigue and from such an attitude towards her family - during a vacation for which we paid a lot of money. In general, the main receptionist "took pity" and signed us up a day later for relocation to another room. Here is a concept for families with children. . .
Another useful information for those who still want to go to this hotel - the left wing of the building is the most inconvenient of all, those rooms that overlook the "garden" are either on the amphitheater in which music is thundering, or on the garbage heap. Rooms on the first floor there is a basement. Rooms on the other hand, overlooking the sea, are good, starting from the middle of the building (away from the restaurant, and this terrible hood, from which, by the way, not only noise, but also smell in the evenings). The rooms in this wing are carpeted, not suitable for allergy sufferers, as they are not cleaned very well in our personal opinion. The right wing of the building - good rooms, even the first floor is very decent, we were not inside, but the location is ok. The "new" building is considered to be the best - we were moved to it two days later. These are "superior rooms", which, as we understand, are not intended for Russians at all. For all the time that we lived there, we did not meet a single Russian-speaking family. We had a new room in 1821, a large spacious room, and even put slippers (there was no such luxury in the old building)... Lake views are considered the quietest rooms. I suspect that after 21 pm no one just went there, because exactly at this time entertainment programs begin in all neighboring hotels, and until 12 am you can only sleep in earplugs and with the balcony door closed, but there are no complaints about Kaya Side.
And one more thing - as we noticed on the third day, on the roof above the VIP rooms and directly next to our former number 417, there is a cellular operator's antenna and a TV dish (you can see it in the photo). For those who do not know what an antenna (transmitter) of a cellular operator is, it is a very powerful emitter of electromagnetic waves (an open microwave oven that fizzes to its fullest and irradiates all living things). In Russia, they are forbidden to be placed on residential facilities due to strong radiation, which causes significant harm to health. We put them only at private facilities, and mobile operators pay a lot of money for this, because few people agree to this. I don’t know what laws are in this regard in Turkey, but the managers of the Kaya Side hotel are the last to worry about the health of their guests. The exact same antenna is at the very end of the left wing - above the side rooms overlooking the sea. And the guests of these rooms also risk their health very much by staying there. Putting a pregnant woman with a small child there is an extremely disgusting act.
By the way, a little about the concept "for families with children". Everyone is told that the hotel is kids friendly, and even a potty is provided in the room. Only for some reason it is not specified that the hotel is suitable for children from 5-6 years old! In our opinion, for small children, everything is extremely not provided for here (well, except for the potty, yes). First, babies sleep during the day. But at the same time, cleaning came to us daily. Even the "do not disturb" sign did not help, the cleaners simply ignored it, and with a loud knock and shouts of "Housekeeping" burst into the room... I had to talk to the reception about this... They stopped breaking, and even began to clean in the morning. But at the same time, when the cleaners were on the floor (just on ours from 13 to 16), they were very bored, and they shouted from one end of the corridor to the other. A couple of times my husband came out and asked me not to make noise, but the thing is that they simply do not understand any other language except Turkish, in which we are not strong. Therefore, the whole family "slept" to the "funny" screams and songs of cleaners, minibar peddlers... Once they even came with music. In general, it was extremely difficult for us with this, there was no talk of any already pleasant rest, we just wanted to "be patient" and leave as soon as possible.
A little about food. For adults, the food is excellent, for children 5-6 years old, who ate mostly french fries, also excellent. Delicious, varied. But what to feed a small child is a problem. No porridge for breakfast. There is "rice with milk" - a wildly sweet something that even adults do not take. There are also cereals, chocolate flakes, different types of omelettes and eggs (my child is allergic to cereals and eggs). As a result, I found a way out - I collected oatmeal muesli in a thermos in advance, steamed them in the room with boiling water for 15 minutes, and it turned out a kind of porridge, which I then diluted with milk in a restaurant and added butter. Thank God, the muesli was not sweet, and my daughter ate it with pleasure. Pastries are very tasty, varied, cheeses, salads, it's all there. For lunch after a couple of days we stopped going at all. Because again, not for small children. Lunch starts at 13:00. At this time, my child, who gets up at 7, already falls off his feet and falls asleep with a spoon in his mouth. In addition, for lunch, apart from pasta or rice, there is also nothing for the child. All the meat there is with spices, and spices are not spared. If perishing pepper, so from souls. My daughter didn’t eat this, and chewing empty pasta is also not enough joy. Soup - two options for lunch, after one plate the child started having diarrhea, and we didn’t eat it anymore and didn’t study the menu of soups, which, perhaps, there were a huge number (but there was definitely no desire to try). We got out of the situation with fruit from breakfast, watermelon and tortillas from the beach bar. For dinner, oh happiness, there is diet food. And yes, it's only for dinner. Boiled chicken, beef, potatoes and rice. It seems to me that my child has never eaten so much rice in his entire life... The beef was not chewed, the chicken somehow. Again, we found a way out - grilled fish, at least it was soft and juicy, my daughter ate every day with pleasure. I don't know what to do for those who are allergic to fish.
For adults, I repeat, it is very tasty, a lot and varied, so you can safely go with children from 5-6 years old, the food will please. There were many different fruits, beautiful cherries, apples, pears, plums, apricots, freshly squeezed juice for breakfast for 1 euro (5 stars say? UltraOll? No, you haven’t heard). We must pay tribute, the cooks in the restaurant and in the grill area work only in nets and gloves, they follow sanitary standards. I didn’t notice outright dirt, but in the mornings the street terrace was covered in traces of yesterday’s dinner, so we only had breakfast inside. By lunchtime, everything was cleaned, I must say. The bar on the beach after 11 o'clock watermelon was scary))) all covered in sticky spots on the floor, the chairs were flooded with watermelon, and all this was baked in the heat at least until the evening... They tried not to go there even for coffee.
The rest of the hotel is not cleaned badly, there was no terrible dirt, but some plates could stand until the morning. In general, I would like to say thank you from the bottom of my heart that my child was not seriously poisoned by anything and did not pick up any muck. Thanks to me, of course, and not to the hotel staff.
As for the pools, we saw them being cleaned every evening and disinfected, but we didn't swim there ourselves. There are children's slides, again, for older children. There were a lot of sun loungers by the pool in the morning (we left at 8), as well as the sea.
The sea is the only point of our program that met all expectations! As they say, even the hotel staff failed to spoil the sea. Loungers in the morning are enough. People came at 11, and calmly took their places. Yes, of course, if you want to be in the first row and the first from the path, then it was probably booked at 6 in the morning. We always lay far from the edge, we just wanted a smaller "hangout". But it should also be noted that if everything is fine with sunbeds, then with umbrellas, there could be a problem. And if you want to lie in the shade, and not bake in the sun, then it’s better to “book” your shade just before 9 am))) Beach - coarse sand - small pebbles, we were without slippers, it didn’t bother, on the contrary, a useful massage for legs. When you enter the sea, stones begin. Standing with a child swaying on the waves, of course, is not very convenient, but tolerable. The entrance is not gentle, after 1.5 meters a sharp descent begins, so everyone with children splashes in the coastal zone, it seems that there are too many people, at each other's hands. But still - the sea is warm, gentle, even during a storm and wind, and most importantly, clean. The beach has showers and taps to wash your feet after sand.
I can’t say anything about the animation, because we weren’t particularly interested, and it was very unobtrusive. On Sundays there were "holidays" - invited performers gave a concert on the big lawn. We started at 21.30, we left earlier, so we saw only the preparation and scenery, it probably wasn't boring. I know that there is a mini disco, but we have never been either.
The Internet is disgusting, there is only in the lobby, by the pool or for money. In the evenings I didn’t connect at all, too many people tried to use it...
The concept of "ultraall" - the impression is that this is just a beautiful name to rip off more money. We personally have not seen imported alcohol, and I have never tried such disgusting non-alcoholic cocktails anywhere else. Once I ordered their branded "Kaya Side" in the lobby... the burda is terrible, it's not clear what they mixed, but the color was like a fanta... The service is also, frankly, not intrusive, they put it on a counter 1.5 meters away, And if I didn’t ask myself, is it for me? they would not have moved me to the place where I was sitting... In general, there was a feeling that they are holding you here for a bag of money: if you give a tip, they bring you drinks at dinner, if not, you won’t even ask for water. Personally, I once saw a picture of a waiter at dinner stuffing a bottle of wine into a stroller of some Russian mother, with whom he then hugged and took pictures....Then he brought a second bottle to her and tried to put it in a bag... But, unfortunately , there is cattle everywhere, and in Turkey, as we understand, its very concentration...
And finally - about the eviction. Naturally, our flight was rescheduled for the most inconvenient night time. We approached the reception the day before, they said about the extension to come on the day of departure at 9 am, but it was immediately clear that there would be no extension for us. And even your money is not needed, they told us at 9 in the morning, do not persuade, there are no numbers. And where will you spend your daytime sleep with your stomach and a small child - from 12 to 16.30, until the bus picks you up, this is, in fact, your own business, go from here and do not interfere with work... Yes, of course, in front of us and they were not obliged to bow, no - no, but it was all too unpleasantly expressed. And by the way, we didn’t come to borrow a hundred rubles. In general, I got a personal impression that this is just a requirement of the managers - the rooms should not be extended under any pretext, there was still not enough, suddenly people will like this hotel (which is already unlikely). But in order to spoil the rest for sure - do not extend it, period. To all the questions, the reception staff first make surprised faces - oh, how can it be, it can't be! Well, it’s just as if they don’t work in this hotel, but went in for a minute to stand at the counter. Do you want to book a la carte? Oh, how is that? ! Well, go to the third floor, maybe they will help you there. Do you want your room cleaned in the morning? Oh, how is that? ! This is impossible, but so be it, from the third request we will come up with something. Not to mention that they could come up with something and only after the fourth request. It feels like you are going to bow to magical creatures, by golly. And all would be nothing if not for their considerable money. And, yes - when we chose the hotel, there were cheaper options, and at the same price, but we read reviews about Kaya - almost everyone liked it, which means it must be a great hotel (Personally, I will never again trust reviews about Turkish hotels, for objective reasons, you can also safely not trust my review)
In conclusion, I want to say: our purely personal opinion - this hotel, even for Turkey, does not pull 5 stars. This is a maximum of 4 minus. 4 - for the adult meals, for the grill and the "superior" rooms, which were generally nothing (especially after the terrible main building). It's definitely not worth the money we paid. If we had bought it "on the cheap", it would probably have been at least not so insulting. The fact that the Turks “missed” us turned out to be a pure lie in our case, and we did not even feel simple respect for the guests throughout the rest. Thank you, Kaya, we will never visit you again, you have given us a vaccination against Turkey for many years, if not for life.

10 minutes for all the nuances, a room with a view of the neighboring hotel "Nashira"
with pumps humming under the window, or transformers, it doesn’t matter.
They asked me to change it right away, a friend at the reception said in the morning to come by 10:00,
the time coincided with an information meeting with a representative of the tour operator (Prince Group (OnTravel / Brisco),
having identified the problem, I resolved the issue with the girl at the reception, they offered a room with a sea view on the floor below.
The problem was solved, but if, s is not overpowered, you can sleep with the window closed.
I will not support the thesis that only Russians are accommodated in rooms at a neighboring hotel,
because I saw foreign tourists passing by in the wing!

# Accommodation:
Meals are standard
there is a big +! the presence of a sufficient number of MEAT! (various types of lamb and beef + poultry)
Meat-eaters will not be offended.
Fish every day.
From fruits: apples, pears, cherries, oranges, watermelons, melons, bananas.
2 times a day ice cream in the pool bar, at dinner in the grill area.
Number:
clean, bar (free of charge) replenished daily, daily cleaning, dust was not checked with a finger, it seems normal,
once the condo stalled, indicating a problem at the reception, upon returning from the sea, everything worked! )
The only cards are demagnetized, do not lay next to the phone!
Pools and surrounding area:
it is difficult to find a place, but it is possible, everything is occupied by "Europe".
The territory is not big, well-groomed, green.
Beach:
Big, clean, sand, I want to note that there are ALWAYS free places!
Cleaned up regularly.
Animation:
All day long there are various activities of interest, ranging from volleyball to water aerobics.
Announcement in the morning in the pool area, several times, in 5 languages ​ ​ (incl. Russian)
in the evening, the animators in the restaurant invite you to evening events.
Every day in the amphitheater performance from 21.30,
from 22.30 in Turkish coffee almost every day live music (Russian +)
from 23.30 disco
+ hotel, I note that all evening entertainment is located at a distance from the buildings and does not interfere with sleep.
For children, there are 2 Russian animators, in order to speak with children in an understandable language, you need to look for them.
Staff:
Responsive, if he does not understand Russian, they will find someone who understands,
There are Russian-speaking waiters, 50/50, basically either explaining themselves on the fingers or standard English. phrases,
there were no problems.
Service in the restaurant is fast, the thesis that Russians are biased,
I won’t pozhzherzhu, I specially observed, didn’t notice anything, the staff doesn’t care) the Russian is in front of them or the Swede,
serve the same.
There are also Russian-speaking employees at the reception and in the Hamam, there were no problems.
Information in the hotel in 95% is duplicated in Russian.

# Check out:
Lunch box ordered in the evening,
ready in the morning according to the schedule,
when the bus was leaving, they solemnly waved the flags of Turkey and Russia,
it was nice)

eventually:
from "+"
- no "TAGILA"
- fun atmosphere
- staff
- kitchen (+ meat)
- accommodation
- beach

from "-"
- Paid Wi-Fi in the room
but in the foyer on any floor and the lobby is free (KayaFree network)
- paid safe, but do not cook, documents and money down the suitcase and close,
This information was also confirmed by a representative of the tour operator.
- in the sauna it is not always 80 degrees, 50-60 is usually cool.

P. S The additional case is inhabited by the Scandinavians tour operator APPOLO, they have other bracelets,
all the rest are settled in the main one.

Warm sea, although four days out of six there were big waves, but this did not stop us from enjoying the salty water. A lot of sun!!!
Tourists are mostly Germans, Turks, some Russians.
Positive aspects of the hotel:
- comfortable room with shower and balcony;
- linen and towels changed every day;
- clean large pool - 2 pcs, 1 pc. - for babies;
- free sunbeds, umbrellas and mattresses. Own sand and pebble beach. Convenient access to the sea. During the day, the sand and pebbles warmed up so much that you had to walk in flip flops. But for warming the heels - great! And for acupressure of the feet - pebbles are just great! Special slippers for entering the sea are not needed!
- children's water park, open by the hour;
- the pool is cleaned and chlorinated every day. At 8 o'clock in the morning, the smell of chlorine is almost not felt;
- beautiful vegetation;
- delicious pastries, hot buns, probably focused on German tourists - the owners are Germans. Delicious puddings, jelly cakes and pastries;
- dishes can always be chosen to your taste, a lot of seasonings, sauces, vegetables and herbs. Meat, poultry, fish are always on the menu. Delicious chicken stew with paprika and spices. Props to the chef! Kashi, two kinds of soups, lentils. Calamari, shrimp salad. The fish, however, turned out to be rather dry. But this is an amateur. Goat milk ice cream (very tasty and viscous! ) - once a day after dinner - for free. Watermelons are constantly at every visit to the restaurant and sleep bar. From fruits: plums, peaches, melons, apples, pears;
- my husband appreciated the local beer Ephesus - refreshing and hitting the head;
- minibar replenished every day with non-alcoholic drinks. Bottled water at almost every step - very convenient!
- guzelme cakes with cheese, potatoes, spinach and meat - to choose from - not far from the beach - highly recommend!
- there are always free places at the tables in the restaurant;
- convenient location, two steps to the city bus stop and 500 meters to the market;
- spa with great masseurs - for women - a Turkish man, for men - a Thai girl. Highly recommend! Hamam is also available!
- Animation - day and evening. If you do not stupidly lie on the sunbeds - it will be very fun! In the Turkish bar you could dance to live music. The disco has its own from 23-30 and a couple of times they organized a trip to the disco in the city of Manavgat for those who wished.
Negative sides:
- very dirty beach. Despite the fact that there are urns, cigarette butts, plastic bottles, etc. , they throw at the pesos. But this is already the culture of tourists... The service is not in a hurry to clean up. A couple of times horses walked along the edge of the beach and made their fragrant gifts. No one cleaned up this mess.
- lifeguards on the beach are present for a limited time;
- a couple of times the bath towels were with holes, the duvet cover was washed with blue spots. It didn't bother me, but for a five-star hotel it's strange;
- despite the declared ULTRA all inclusive, freshly squeezed juice for 2 euros, champagne - for a fee. I didn't like the wine at all - neither white nor rosé . The feeling that alcohol has been added to the wine. A sip was enough to understand it. Whiskey is weird too. A husband and another tourist from Latvia had spasmodic pains in the stomach from a glass of whiskey at dinner at night, and friendship with the toilet for half a day. So be careful!
- it was strange to see plates and glasses with chips and cracks in the hotel restaurant... A couple of times the plates were, let's say, not quite clean.
- in the restaurant, the inscriptions near the dishes in Turkish, German, English. So it will be difficult for Russian-speaking tourists who do not understand foreign languages ​ ​ to navigate. Sauces without labels at all - guess it yourself!
In general, the impressions of the hotel are positive. If you do not bother with the shortcomings I have noted, then the rest will be great! It all depends on your mood!! ! The main thing is that there is a lot of sun and a warm salty sea!! !
