1. Very green area with lots of pine trees. During the entire holiday, the aroma of pines constantly pleased.
2. We visited all the restaurants except the Mexican one and we should note that Greek, Italian and French restaurants are definitely worth a visit. The service and food in the Chinese restaurant is simply Horrible!
3. Food in the main restaurant: not varied: fish and chicken all the time, there was practically no beef, and lamb appeared several times in 14 days.
For fruits: strawberries were four times, and the rest of the time watermelons, melons, apples, oranges, occasionally apricots (green).
Very pleased with the assortment of sweets.
The wine is only dry and extremely disgusting, only in a French restaurant they poured something similar to the truth.
4. Freshly squeezed juice in the morning in a children's restaurant for 1 Euro per glass.

5. The entrance to the sea is rocky, so we swam jumping from the pier. True, on the way to the pier, German age seals always lay down, sunbathing topless - a sight not for the faint of heart : )
6. If there is a desire to be near the pools, then places should be taken as early as possible...
this is especially true for the Prague and Relax pools. It feels like there is a permanent occupation 
7. Content: before June 1, there were 70% Germans, 15% Russians, 15% Turks. From June 1, Russian speech began to be heard more often.
8. Animation is not bad . . : they put on three musicals (“Tarzan”, “The Lion King”, “Beauty and the Beast”, plus Turkish night and Samba evening (Brazilians perform capuero... ).
The last two performances are worth special attention.
9. We didn’t go to the city along the coast. There is a bus every 10 minutes. 10 minutes to the city (fare 1Euro and 1.5$).
10. Shopping in Side is something… local sellers are so spoiled that they declare exorbitant prices plus also in Euros, so I had to bargain a lot.
Separate words about the Tour Operator... flew from "Sam" in Turkey they are called "Summer Travel"
Never met a more unprofessional company. The meeting guide had no knowledge at all. We are the second time in Turkey and know more about the sights than she does. On the first sightseeing tour to Antalya, the bus was late for an HOUR!! ! It is clear that all the following excursions were taken from a street agency in the center of Side (by the way, 2 times cheaper).
When leaving, the bus picked up on time, but our hotel guide did not say a word... silently handed over the luggage and that's it... no pleasant aftertaste for you, such as "Happy journey", etc.
Results: For couples with children, the holiday is wonderful, but if you are a young couple like us (29 and 24), it will be boring. Disco - every second song is Turkish and the assortment does not change. Live music - if once it's good, if more often, then you can guess the next song.
P. S.
We lived in a three-story bungalow on the second floor. The style is minimalist, but it looks decent.

Cleaning was not at a high level, they often forgot to change or give towels, and for the last three days the room was not cleaned at all + there is no difference between cleaning with tips and without.
