Great hotel for families with kids. Three of us traveled with a child, lived in the room of block "A" - next to the main building. the territory is huge, green, shady, the garden is looked after. Everything is in bloom, smells of southern pine and juniper. There is an orange garden.
The furniture in the room is a little old, there is an individual air conditioner, in general it is clean and tidy. Room cleaning on request, towels also changed on request.
The food in the main restaurant is very decent - there were always 3 types of side dishes - pasta, potatoes, rice, baked vegetables (zucchini, stuffed tomatoes, vegetable pancakes, 3 types of meat dishes and fish. Wonderful desserts, delicious cakes and of course baklava. On dinner, the assortment is wider, grilled dishes were included, which were prepared right there. Breakfast also pleased with the variety - cereals, porridge (though only oatmeal), scrambled eggs, etc. A lot of fruits - watermelons, melons, apples, peaches, bananas, plums, grapefruits, oranges And all this, of course, the freshest. There are packaged juices - apple, peach, tomato and cherry. Fresh is offered for a fee. Dinner is not allowed in flip flops and T-shirts, there is a dress code - a man was not allowed into the restaurant with bare shoulders. Minus of the main restaurant - The air conditioning does not work well, which is why it is hot.

There are 4 restaurants (Ala carte) - Chinese (we couldn’t rate it, because we mixed up the day of visiting (on vacation we lost count of days))), Turkish - we couldn’t rate the cuisine to the end - an open-air restaurant, and therefore visitors smoke, like locomotives, there is nothing to breathe. not bad - Italian, and a wonderful fish restaurant, especially the amazing fish kebab there.
We counted 4 pools - one of which is near blocks F, the second with slides - there are 3 of them - less scary, medium scary and very scary))) Water slides are made in the form of a cave in Kapodokia. Looks funny. The next indoor and outdoor pool (Relax pool) And the main pool, very beautiful, large, the main animation was carried out there.
There are bars on the territory of the hotel - a bar on the beach (they took ayran to the beach, not far from the embankment a cafe with national cakes (baked right there in front of you, pool bar, lobby bar, block F pool bar, mini club cafe - french fries are served, hamburgers, chicken, breadcrumbs, a cafe by the pool (I don’t remember the name) - a full meal, caravanserai - afternoon tea, coffee and other drinks with pastries.
The bars have an all-inclusive menu - whiskey, martini, wine - white, rose, red and something else, and a "paid" menu - where alcoholic drinks were offered for a fee - tequila, cognac, etc.
The beach is clean, sandy and pebbly, regularly cleaned, there are enough sunbeds, there is no need to borrow in advance. the entrance to the sea is decent, but there are sharp stones. a few meters from the shore there is a picturesque reef that you can admire. Two piers - one smaller, the other larger. A sea turtle swam up to the big one, eating algae. So fell in love with her. In general, there are a lot of sea turtles there, so you don’t have to spend money on a boat trip, it’s enough to sail away and they are easy to meet.
Water sports are a bit pricey, but if you order three types you can get a discount. There is a free diving course.
We walked along the shore to the old part of Side - we looked at the ruins, the famous "Amphitheater" (entrance 20 TL (namely TL! ) Per person, the temple of Apollo.
We went to the town of Manavgat - dolmushi - 15 minutes.

Shopping in Manavgat in the markets is not very good, prices are set in euros, and then converted to dollars. There is a bazaar, there is a market that comes on Mondays and Thursdays. The goods are not of very good quality, but for some reason the Germans buy clothes there very willingly.
animation is rather weak, is in German. The staff is smiling, friendly - everyone smiles, greets.
An atmosphere of peace and tranquility has been created.
In general, the rest was a success, we returned with a wonderful mood, we had a very good rest.
