We took a tour to Emirkhan 4 *, a problem arose during check-in, as it often happens, and we were offered Xanthe 5 * without additional payment. The difference is decent, I won’t say that Emirkhan is bad, but like heaven and earth. In Emirkhan, upon arrival, they gave bracelets and the waiting began, an hour passed, the second went and it became clear that either an additional payment from the Teztur agency for a night in three rubles and settling the next day in Emirkhan, or accommodation in another 4 * nearby, to be honest, I don’t remember the name . But by a happy coincidence, the three of us (one child) ended up in xanth, (it's good when one owner maintains several hotels of different levels). The rest, by the way, preferred the first option, there were, of course, scandals and calls to Moscow, etc. , etc. , it was even fun to watch this. So we are in Xantha, half an hour at the reception and they gave us a room, the windows are not on the sea, but we liked it, it’s quiet, calm, and to be honest, in July in Side you can’t even open the curtains during the day, it’s hot, so it’s problematic to enjoy the view.
The beach is a miracle, the sand is fine, polished, there were no problems with sunbeds, towels were also no problem, the sea is clean, the pontoon is not far, the underwater world is really poor, but the sea is not red, but Mediterranean, very salty. For some reason, the Turks themselves call him white, and so it remains a mystery to us.
Meals are all inclusive, there’s simply nothing to complain about, decent wine, both white and red, by the way, in Emirkhan we managed to taste red wine, so I’ll tell you, specific mash, gives yeast for three miles.

The main contingent was the Germans, it was true, and the Turks, but a little, Russian 10 percent, which imposed small problems when communicating with the staff in Russian, but everyone knows English, and German too, so it's tolerable. What is interesting, the waiters communicate in Russian without any problems, the receptionist does not understand, or pretends to.
The restaurant is beyond praise, clean, not hot, just sat down, they are immediately interested in what you will drink, they bring it in a maximum of 5 minutes, repeat without problems, just raised your hand, immediately walks and smiles, well done guys, it’s not a pity to leave a couple of dollars like that , after all, you give a tip not for bringing it, but for the fact that everyone is doing well, this is what impresses.
On the seventh day, they asked if we wanted to go to Emirkhan, maybe we didn’t like it here, we had to “disappoint” and stay, while filling out an application or questionnaire, and it’s not accepted in Russian, write in English, type level.
Gradually, the vacation came to an end and we regretfully left this excellent hotel, transfers, meeting and seeing off from Teztour are beyond praise, everything is clear and on schedule.
P. S. The Sansimar Hotel has recently been built nearby, this is something, for dinners rehashing the Beatles live, violin, etc. , so if possible, I recommend it.
