Rested with a friend at the Side Alegria Hotel & Spa 4 * from September 12 to 23.2017. We chose this hotel on a budget (we had a small one), and our second condition was the presence of a sandy beach and walking distance to the sea. We did not fail! Rest was a success. Alegria is a hotel for a quiet unhurried rest, there are no noisy parties and intrusive animation. Our tour operator on this trip was "Biblioglobus" and we surprisingly liked everything: everything was clear, unobtrusive, the hotel guide was at the hotel every day and in the end gave us his laptop to check in for the flight online. The hotel consists of three separate buildings: the main building, annex bungalow and annex building across the road. The most unprestigious and cheapest is the building across the road from the main building where we lived))). This building is for those who come to the sea and for outdoor activities, and not sit in the room and watch TV. There is nothing in it except the rooms themselves, in fact it is a circular two-story gallery on chicken legs, built in a bagel, those in the middle of it are the space of the street. There is no infrastructure there, not even an elevator. So if you want all the benefits to be at hand, then look on the ticket so that the main building is indicated there. In other words, everything suited us. The rooms are spacious, the loggia is large, the double-glazed windows are good, which is important: our room overlooked a cafe where the Germans gathered to listen to sports reports and German music. But with the balcony closed, it was quiet enough. Large closet, refrigerator. Shower cubicle, no bathtub. Of the consumables, only liquid soap, no shampoos and gels. They clean well, BUT we always put a tip of 1.5-2 lira, so we were given flowers and swans and, most importantly, towels were changed every day. When we left, the cleaning lady said goodbye to us, as if to her relatives))). The main building is located across the road, there is no crossing, you need to look carefully when crossing the road.
The food at the hotel is decent: it will do for a four. There is always chicken and fish, vegetables. There were sweet peaches and watermelons. A big plus of the hotel is that bottled water is everywhere and in any quantity. There are coffee machines, good coffee. We have never been to lunch, because there is also a canteen on the beach, and although there is less choice than in the main building, you can not leave the sea. Turkish cakes with potatoes, cheese and sweets are baked on the beach. Some pastries are baked on the veranda near the lobby bar after dinner. Alcohol is served until 23:00. We drank only beer and red wine - they are decent, white sour. The only negative is that the dining room cannot cope with so many people, there are not enough tables and forks in the midst))). There are a lot of cats in the hotel, unfortunately, children, mostly Russians, scare them away. Explain to your children that they are not plush toys, let them feed them calmly and do a good deed.
The sea is great! When leaving, it is better to keep to the right, there are fewer stones that are found at a depth of about chest. There were always enough beds. A bit rubbish, but that's the fault of the vacationers themselves. Cheap fresh juices are carried along the beach. Nearby there are all kinds of water activities (for a fee). We swam near the buoys, so the people did not really annoy us, but in general there were a lot of people on the beach. The way to the beach is not tiring, only at first, out of habit, my legs hurt a little, because the road back goes uphill. Go maximum 5 minutes. The road to the beach is on the right from the elevator, there is a sign, and further down the road perpendicular to the hotel.

Wi-fi in the rooms and the hotel itself catches quite well, it is also on the beach, but there it is very weak and works from 12:00 to 15:00
We didn’t go to the animation, as well as to the pools, so I don’t know how it is and what.
Money for lira can be changed across the road right in front of the hotel. There are two supermarkets, both on the other side of the hotel if you go to the right. One of them 101 is hiding on the back side of the market, where you can buy sweets. The second big Carrefour has everything there))
The rest of the city is a huge market for every taste. If you go left into the city, and then turn left at the third intersection, you will find yourself in a huge covered shopping center, essentially the same market, but everything is collected at once under the roof.
Excursions, this time, we ordered more from Moscow, everything was punctual, interesting and fun. We went parasailing on the beach: it's scary, but there's a lot of adrenaline!
In general, we liked the hotel, had a great rest! Minor roughness did not spoil anything. Would recommend if you are on a small budget.
