was limited in funds, so I was looking for the cheapest hotel and not the worst reviews, because they write nasty things everywhere)).
Surprisingly, for the price, good hotels in Turkey cost so much that you can go to Spain, which is complete nonsense. Briefly, being a budget tourist, I will characterize Turkey as follows - a country of filthy cigarettes, deceit and baksheesh.
The Oz Side Hotel is a MAXIMUM 3 STARS, but not 4, normal in itself, apart from a small room - for 2 adults and 2 children they gave a room for a maximum of 2 adults and said that there are no others all the same. Well, or perhaps part of the global Turkish deception. The Turks are cunning and deceive everywhere.

So - the room is small, the ventilation does not work - very stuffy. He called the technician and he checked - everything is supposed to be the way it should be. You have to constantly turn the air conditioner, which accordingly causes a cold, snot, sore throat, well, it’s understandable in general - take medicine for your throat.
The food is, of course, peculiar - nasty Turkish sausage, I don’t know from what (it’s impossible to eat, but everyone eats%%%), some sort of dirty trick like soup, salads of dubious fullness, but + to this there is always meat chicken, rice, french fries, pancakes. In general, the breakfast is not very good, but lunch and dinner are good.
Touching and annoying are the ever-starving vacationers who storm the dining room with a crowd with burning eyes, take 6 plates and rush between all the bowls of food.
The trouble is with the beach - it is located if you walk in the sun for at least 30 minutes, there is a bus, but according to the Turkish custom of making money from tourists, you can leave the beach back only after 15:00, and if earlier, you need to somehow organize yourself by asking the bus driver and he bring the dollar! Disgrace. The hotel freezes says the bus is not theirs. And to shove back in the sun from the beach through the dust and sand, I will say the pleasure is so-so. In general, once again do not go to the beach.
Again, the sunbeds are constantly busy, the hungry, having eaten half a bucket with burning eyes, storm the first bus in the morning, and when you arrive at the beach by the second bus, all the places are already taken. They don’t have so many things to scatter them all over the sunbeds, but wherever you go, they will still tell you that it’s busy. This is very annoying and stressful. Nearby, of course, you can lie down for money. Also, if you go to a supposedly free beach, you have to buy a sun lounger, because they are stuck right up to the water and it’s not a fact that you can put your towel near the water. But specifically on the beach from this hotel there is a place.
Further - I went on an excursion to Antalya to show the children a marine aquarium ...people - never go there! This is the SHAME of Turkey - not a single living coral, half-dead pale fish in cramped banks.

Half of the aquariums in general with fresh water - there are painted dead corals and freshwater fish swim and even in one aquarium there were freshwater algae!
The tunnel under water is a complete horror and disgrace ...
It is written everywhere and on advertising free wi-fi, yeah already two. ANYWHERE in Turkey there is no free Wi-Fi!
I bought Turkish Parliament cigarettes, it’s impossible to smoke, ala vatra without a filter and then chewed in my mouth like a boot ...%%%

And, Turkish just freezes, as they say, the custom is to demand a tip everywhere. Here I am going from the airport to the hotel and the guide of the anex tour tells me - we have a custom to give a tip, so over there at the driver you throw a box to him that he drove you well.! ? What kind of fright is asked, or am I supposedly going for free ?? ? And so everywhere - at the hotel at the reception a box, in the dining room, etc. Internet in the hotel is ONLY paid - 7 bucks for 3 days !! ! At the same time, the speed is terrible and it catches badly, well, in the lobby it’s normal, but in the room it’s not a fact that it will happen at all.
In general - whoever has money think 10 times before going to Turkey.
