The hotel was a pleasant surprise. Were in it from 06/27/08 to 07/08/08. We are not the first time in this hotel. The hotel has a new swimming pool. Renovated playground. There are new entertainments for children - air hockey, darts. There is billiards and table tennis, and you can also play golf. They paved the way to the beach. It's nice that the staff of the hotel has not changed much. It was nice to see old friends. Turkish bath in the hotel is good. There is something to compare. It costs 25 dollars. In the evening, excellent animation, and from 22.30 the program began
in a bar on the beach. Foam disco, belly dance, Turkish folk dance, dancers were invited with a program from the Fires of Anatolia group. The quality of the excursions offered has changed significantly for the better (operators).
We went to Side ourselves (went to the Museum of Greek Culture - entrance per person 5 Turkish liras - only liras are accepted, visited aspendos - entrance is also 5 liras. But the tours do not tell. If you know English - no problem. Read the signs. We went a little prepared "We wanted to see with our own eyes. A very beautiful old city. There is no such excursion purposefully. We were offered an option - $ 110. We went ourselves - $ 26 for 2 adults and a child of 6.5 years. To Side on a dolmush - 20 minutes. Travel by three dollars 3. The same cost for travel to Manavgat. In Manavgat - everything is cheaper - fruits, goods. Therefore, if you are interested in the bazaar, the market day in Manavgat is Thursday. The stop is the bazaar. That is, everything is much cheaper on this day. Go shopping. Everything is cheaper for local residents. On sales, you can buy well. We bought oriental sweets in the Migros supermarket in Manavgat. Because now operators do not take them to supermarkets where they usually bought sweets . The problem seen in Turkey is ear disease and allergies. If this happens, there is a pharmacy not far from the hotel. The pharmacist speaks a little Russian. Explain the problem and he will help. For reference, from the ears, the medicine "Otimisin". Very efficient. Our funds brought from home did not help. Worth 2 dollars. The food at the hotel is excellent. Fruits - watermelons and melons. Once there were peaches. We ourselves bought fruit in Manavgat. Cheap. There was enough space for everyone on the beach. What I didn’t like was that the hotel was usually 50% Germans, 45% - Turks, Poles, Czechs, 5% residents from the CIS. Now - 75% Russian, 25% Turks, Germans and Poles. the culture of our people is simply killing! The hotel staff gets tired of us very much. They themselves say that it's just HORRIBLE! No one understands that there are hotel rules that must be observed - this is done for the vacationers themselves. And you come to someone else's "house" with your charter. People, be quick. And you will see - the attitude towards you will be wonderful. What about children! Learn from the culture and rules of behavior in society. The Turks in this hotel try to keep the brand of the hotel. He has an excellent reputation. It is surprising that many people come to Turkey for the first time and they don’t like everything - they didn’t serve it like that, they didn’t settle there, but they have nothing to compare with! Surprises. I am drunkenness! I understand, everyone rests as he likes, but you represent the face of your country. And then you want to be respected and wanted to see you as a guest?

The hotel staff is friendly. They smile at you, saying "good morning" or "hello" - this is a sign of greeting, not flirting (to girls). Answer them the same, and do not pretend, passing by, that you are proud or do not understand or do not notice them. Silly. All in all, our vacation was a 100% success. Hotel 3+. Even better than some 5 and 4 star hotels. There are places to walk around the hotel. Feel free to explore the area nearby. There are police everywhere. Do not be afraid. And a little study of the culture of the country in which you are - useful. Read online. Ask locally. And be sure to take time for your children - teach culture! Excursions are free to choose. But we have already been almost everywhere, so it is interesting for us to visit our favorite places, and there are many options for general development and active recreation. Good luck everyone!
