A small hotel near the center of Side (along the beach to the old town - about 20 minutes to go), there are many hotels, shops, bars nearby.
The hotel does not have its own beach, so when you go to the beach, you need to pay for sun loungers - 2-3 dollars, take a towel with you.
The hotel has a small pool, but at the time when I was there on vacation, there were a lot of Turks with children in the hotel, who occupied all the sun loungers in the morning and did not leave the pool.
At the reception you are met by a boy (who, according to my hotel guide, is fluent in Russian, although as it turned out later, he not only does not speak, but does not even understand Russian, so I had to remember all the English words that I knew and did not know before traveling to Turkey to learn basic things).
On the first day, I went to lunch "by the smell and the sound of spoons, " because. None of the staff could help me with this issue.

The food at the hotel is not bad, but... 1) afternoon snack - starts at 16.00 and ends at 16.30, but already at 16.02 you won’t find any cookies there during the day with fire, they give very little, but they scatter it very quickly, 2) when you go on an excursion, the hotel gives you a lunch package with you, which has such content that it is simply a shame to open it in the presence of vacationers from other hotels (sluggish tomatoes / cucumbers, stale sausage).
There is no animation, so every evening you have to invent entertainment yourself. For reference: entrance to discos costs from 3 dollars, a bottle of min. water - 2 dollars, a bottle of beer - 4 dollars.
So it turns out "hotel - all inclusive", and you pay extra a lot more....
When leaving, I made a decision - the next Turkey is a 5 * hotel and only on the recommendation of friends or acquaintances !!! !
