Отель для активных путешественников Hotel for active travelers

Before choosing this hotel, I read a whole bunch of information about this kind of hotels. It was the budget vacation that interested me, I went to rest alone (and this is more expensive), I didn’t have much money, all the more I don’t like a relaxing holiday, and I wanted to visit as many excursions as possible. I wanted to go exactly in Side, and it was to the hotel in the city, preferably in the center. In terms of price and location, the hotel suited me, here are the reviews about the rooms, food, staff - they scared... BUT still I decided. Prepared for the worst - but in vain))
I was settled in the room not at 2, as expected, but at 11, and this was without any additional payments, it was just worth asking well.
I took an economy room, they simply didn’t warn me that there might also be a standard room, but due to lack of space, I was settled in a standard room, albeit on the ground floor, under the dining room. I won’t lie that the room is perfect, but the bed is large, the toilet and bathroom are clean, the bedding, towels are clean and smell, and what else do I need if I didn’t even always come to spend the night? Even in the room I did not have air conditioning, I had no time to tell the staff about it. And then I mentioned this to the guide from the Annex tour, and after 5 minutes I had an uncle with tools in my room. True, the conder broke down after 2 days, but I didn’t care, I repeat that I was rarely in the room, and even froze at night without it.

Many people write terrible reviews about food... Maybe I'm not picky, but the food suited me perfectly, there are really not enough fruits, and some starving tourists rake them right away, but I heard exactly the same comments from the inhabitants of 5 *
At the expense of the staff... What do you want, these are Turks, they are like gypsies)) Half of the staff does not speak Russian (either English, or German, or only Turkish) But the info staff all speak Russian, and the maids and cooks can’t help me in any way to solve some issues...
The territory of the hotel looks like some kind of cottage plot - a small area, a small pool (in which I did not swim - I disdain, to put it bluntly), a jacuzzi, a dining room, that's all.
Those who write that they didn’t like to relax with children so much - comrades, read the reviews and all the information about the hotel before buying a tour, they don’t wave their fists after the battle! Where did you see that it was mentioned about animation, discos in the hotel. With children, I would not go to this hotel for anything!
What about the beach - 3-5 minutes to the sea, but there is no hotel beach. I guessed about it, read in some reviews, and in some they wrote that part of the city beach was rented. I was not very happy about this on the first day, because. I went to the city beach, bought a sunbed for $ 3, and concluded that I would not go to this beach again. And not at all because of the payment for the sunbed, but because. for 2 of my stay there, the Turks, making me various kinds of proposals (intimate and not so), got me !! ! Then I walked along the promenade towards Kyumkoy, where I found a wonderful beach - Free Beach (near the Kale restaurant, for those who are interested), where you need to buy something - and sunbathe yourself calmly at least all day. Well, I never bought anything, they politely and unobtrusively offered me - Do you like drink? I answered - no, and no one touched me. Moreover, Germans and Scandinavians hang out on the beach - they behave decently, not like many of our fellow citizens.

But the location of the hotel - 12!! ! Right in the center - 10 minutes, and you are at the epicenter of events! Clubs, shops, restaurants, cafes. 10 minutes - and the ruins of ancient Side, 5 minutes - and a nice pretty park with palm trees and olives. If you are relaxing with a company, or on your own, without children, and do not want to sit your ass on a sunbed near the hotel pool, then this hotel is the perfect place for you. Do not believe the reviews of people who write that the hotel is far from the center, they probably go there in special ways... For example, passing by 5 * and 4 *, located in the direction of Kyumkoy, I would never agree to live there - you get out from the hotel, and right into the field. . .
I really liked the city of Side, I visited the city for almost 2 days to explore the city. I climbed the ruins of ancient Side, went to the temple of Apollo, went to the amphitheater (and I advise everyone, a stunning sight !!!! ), was in the museum - for the sake of interest (if you are as curious as me) you can go there, but nothing special I am there I didn’t see it, naturally I was at the temple of Apollo, I won’t comment, it’s enough that there are a lot of billboards in the city of Kyiv with a view of it, I was in a mosque (I just never visited a mosque), I went to Manavgat on my own (an excursion there not worth taking - too easy).
Regarding excursions - I was rafting (super!!! ), I flew to Cyprus - I advise everyone, do not spare the money - this is truly a Divine island !!! ! I didn’t visit more excursions, I didn’t have enough strength, 7 days for such a vacation is catastrophically small. If I have a desire, I can write more detailed reviews about the excursions, otherwise I'm already "quite talking")))
I completely forgot to add about the Hamam, which is located on the territory of the hotel. It's just a fairy tale - three hours of enjoyment. If you will rest in Side, in this hotel, I highly advise you not to take an excursion to the Hamam, but to visit the hotel.
