Небольшой семейный отель с отзывчивым персоналом Small family run hotel with friendly staff

My husband and I chose a budget hotel with a normal rating. Since we planned to travel to neighboring cities, we did not need "All Inclusive". We chose this place, since Side is located approximately in the middle of the road between Alanya and Antalya, which is very convenient for travel.
We arrived at the hotel at 14-30, settled us immediately, and although we were late for lunch, they brought us something to eat. The room was on the 3rd floor, 3-bed. In the room: a corridor, a bedroom, a shower with a toilet and a balcony. The room has 3 beds, a wardrobe, a table with a small refrigerator, a table with drawers and a mirror, air conditioning, plasma (we even found 2 Russian channels). The shower and toilet are new, clean, there was liquid soap, a hairdryer, hot water (in the evening it was summer, as I understand it, it warmed itself from the sun). On the balcony there are ropes for things, soft chairs. Each bed has 2 towels - large and small, regardless of whether 2 people settled in, or 3. When checking in, it was very clean, all the furniture and appliances were new (the hotel was renovated in 2019) except for the air conditioner, but it also worked quietly and properly .
Meals: although the food is full board, you can still drink any drinks for free all day long (juices, water, tea, a coffee machine with hot chocolate worked on arrival, but then someone broke it). Celal (the hotel manager) always offered local wine and spirits, also for free. Meals - buffet. For breakfast, mainly cuts of two cheeses, sausage, boiled eggs, bread, portioned spreads (Nutella, butter, honey, various jams), regular and chocolate flakes, often for breakfast there were scrambled eggs or fried sausages. Lunch: soup (tomato or with some kind of porridge and peas), meat or sauteed vegetables / mushrooms, side dishes (vermicelli / potatoes / rice), salads (cabbage, carrots, pickled onions, tomatoes, cucumbers, etc. ), sliced ​ ​ ​ ​ fresh vegetables, pickles, halyabi peppers, bread, watermelon or melon. Dinner: side dish, chicken, the same soup, salads, bread, watermelon / melon. When we arrived, there were few people, without a queue, and there was enough food for everyone, then there was a large population of Russian tourists who came in advance (half an hour or an hour) took a queue and scooped up a lot of food, half of which they either hid in bags or simply gave away for ejection. But I do not consider this not a problem of the hotel, but a problem of mentality. There was a waiter guy standing on the meat, who poured it in portions so that everyone had enough.

The hotel area is not large, there is a small pool - more suitable for children (with balls, inflatable toys), there are sun loungers nearby. On the territory there is a patio with a vineyard that creates shade, under it there are sofas and tables. Everything is clean and tidy.
Wifi Internet access is free, upon arrival they asked the employee for a password, she wrote it to us (like at the reception there is even a piece of paper with a password). The Internet works only near the dining room and on the sofas under the grapes, it does not reach the rooms.
Beach: The hotel does not have its own beach with sun loungers. To the sea to go about 10 minutes, the road is good. On the beach, you can either rent sun loungers from another hotel for $ 2-3 or come with your own towel, as about 10 meters from the sea to the sun loungers is a free beach, and there were a lot of people there. The beach is all sandy, with a sandy entry. Shallow water, to reach the depth you need to walk. For a family with kids, this is great. There were fewer people on the beach and in the sea than in other resort towns, there were no crowds around.
Staff. They deserve special praise. None of the staff knows Russian and English, but everyone actively uses an interpreter and there were no problems with understanding. They helped us with questions of travel to other cities, suggested where you can buy food cheaply in supermarkets (the prices were even lower than at home), since many Europeans rest in Side and the prices in the markets are too high - in euros and dollars. If any problems arose, they were immediately solved, not only for us, but also for the rest of the guests (replacement of towels, cleaning on demand), one girl needed an iron, it turned out that the old one broke down at the hotel, the workers went and bought it and brought her a new one. Special thanks to Hasan (I don’t know who exactly he works at the hotel), he is the imam in the mosque (clearly visible from the hotel) and arranged a free tour of the temple, showed and explained everything. The mosque is one of the most beautiful we have seen in Turkey. He, if a sufficient number of people gathered for 10 lira, took him to Manavgat to tourist places and to the market. The entire staff is very friendly and accommodating. Guests who arrived early in the morning or late at night were also accommodated and fed immediately, no one was kept on the porch with bags strictly until 14-00 (as we later learned from them). For such money, the conditions are simply excellent, we have never been hungry. I advise you to choose a hotel for those who do not expect animation, a water park and tables bursting with delicacies.
