The hotel is very decent for a troika. More suitable for families with children. The territory is small, but well planned. Everything is very close: dining room, swimming pool, playground, hammam and massage. Settle in quickly. We arrived at about 16-20, filled out the paperwork and received the key. At the reception, a very nice girl Katya works with Russian speakers. All problems in Russian are solved mainly through her, since the rest of the staff does not speak it very well, and with English, too, everyone has different ways. But you can explain yourself to almost everyone, there were no special problems here.
The food is not inferior to some fives - everything is fresh, quite edible, but, of course, neither crabs nor oysters will be served to you. There is always pasta, french fries, stewed cabbage or eggplant or zucchini baked with cheese. From meat - chicken, mostly in the evening it is fried on the grill. They also make fish on the grill, there is also fish stewed or baked in the oven. From vegetables - cucumbers, tomatoes, greens, different salads, hummus, 3-4 types of olives. Watermelon, melon alternate every day, you can also take grapes, there are pears, peaches, plums, but not every day. For breakfast, the choice is somewhat smaller, and it is repeated - eggs, scrambled eggs (fried with peppers, onions, tomatoes, mushrooms and local sausage - to choose from). Pancakes are also fried, but they can run out quickly for those who like to sleep for a long time. Several types of cereal, though with cold milk, sausages, sausage, vegetables, olives, potatoes. Tea, coffee, cappuccino, hot chocolate, butter, chocolate, various sweet syrups for buns. From sweet - a set of 5-7 types of pastries. We never left hungry. Rather, they overate, although they tried to take a little of everything.
I won’t say much about alcohol - I don’t drink it in the heat, as it will be bad (checked), but the people took mostly beer, cocktails and wine. Cola, fanta, sprite, cooler water, juices (powdered according to taste). There is almost no animation: in the evening at 8 Katya lights up at a mini-disco with kids and 2-3 times girls came with belly dancing. The first time was interesting, then - not anymore. There is a table tennis table next to the reception. Is popular. A lot of people sit in the evening on the blue rocking chairs next to the reception, as the hotel's free wifi catches pretty well there. In general, wifi is pretty good, you can contact from the room if it is near the reception or near the pool / in the dining room. The rule is simple - the closer to the reception, the better the Internet. With test messages it is very good, media is loaded at different points in very different ways.
The room we got was clean and spacious, for 2 people - 3 beds and a sofa. Toilets and showers are clean and free of mold. In the shower, the drain hole was slightly broken. It didn't bother us. Fan didn't work. Dry hair naturally. Towels changed, cleaning daily. The air conditioner worked well and the fridge also froze very well. When you leave the room and pick up the key, everything is turned off except the refrigerator - this is a plus, as in some hotels everything is turned off. As you understand, it is useless to leave phones on charge - there is a night for this. It is hot in July, we cooled the room with air conditioning, then turned it off, as we began to squish our nose slightly because of the air conditioner, even at 26 degrees. I really liked the balcony - large, with an overview of 2 sides at once (corner room). Here you can dry towels by simply hanging them on the railing. For smaller things, I took a rope and 6 pieces of clothespins.
The pool has a small slide. Turned it on after 12 and until about 17-00. For those who do not have enough of it, you can go to the AquaJoy water park - it is not far, about 15 minutes by car from the hotel. It costs 85 liras per adult and 60 liras per child for 7-8 hours from 9-30 to 17-30 or 2 times more expensive from street travel agents. A small bus takes you to the beach according to the schedule 8-30.9, 10.11, 12.15, 16 - there, 9-15.10-15, etc. back. Last flight at 18-15. But this is in the season when there are enough people. When there are fewer of them, then the schedule is different. The road to the beach takes about 15 minutes. There is no particular beauty if you first go along the road along the hotel for about a kilometer, and then cross the road and parallel to the fence on the right side. Landmark - bar Viking. The Dream of Side beach is just behind it with yellow umbrellas. For a cocktail in Viking you can get a wifi password. Neither near the pool nor on the beach there is much struggle for places on sun loungers - there is enough for everyone. Some people come, some, on the contrary, leave the beach.
The water on the beach is clean, transparent, entry into the water is convenient. The beach is sandy. swimming is a pleasure. We got to the moment when the forest in Manavgat was burning, so smog hung over the sea and pieces of ash floated in the water, so the spectacle was something else. But in normal times there are many "pirate" yachts in the sea, which bring tourists to swim and dive to the beach a little further than ours. On the beach you can ask for water, sometimes juice or tea. This year, Asif works there - he meets and sees off with a smile. On the last day we saw little turtles just hatched from eggs. Very funny. In some places on the beach there are fences, inside of which there are other eggs of turtles. As for the road to the beach, it can take much longer than 15 minutes, because. you can go through the old ruins. And then how lucky - if you like to take pictures among the ruins, you can go to the sea for more than an hour - depending on the length of the photo session. It's free, but there are a lot of thorns and tough grass along the way - we scratched our feet. Well, and the remains of the life of camels, which we saw near the ancient walls.
In general, within walking distance from the hotel there are shops (LCWIKIKI, Migros), and McDonald's, and a bunch of small shops, and of course the ancient Side with beautiful columns, the Colosseum (the only paid ancient museum site), the remains of the Temple of Apollo, many retail outlets, which stand on "transparent floors" - ancient ruins are visible through a lattice covered with thick glass. Nice, but hard to walk. In general, I recommend the hotel. If you are not afraid of some remoteness from the sea - feel free to go.

We arrived at 11 am and were seated immediately. She asked for breakfast: they brought sausage, olives, olives, cheese and a tomato on a plate - the child refused to eat it. The waiter brought a watermelon to replace the not tasty breakfast for the child! In general, the staff were all friendly, but they do not speak Russian well and do not always understand English.

We arrived at 11 am and were seated immediately. She asked for breakfast: they brought sausage, olives, olives, cheese and a tomato on a plate - the child refused to eat it. The waiter brought a watermelon to replace the not tasty breakfast for the child!

WiFi - no! He seems to be, but in fact he is not! Here's a pun. . . don't count on it.
The room was given 612 (they play darts near it) on the first floor; very small, closet without doors, the door from the refrigerator did not open entirely (the bed interfered), the balcony did not close. Useful rope and clothespins for drying clothes. In the pictures, the furniture is green, bright, clean, in fact very dirty, stained with various smudges.
The bedspread on the bed is a large waffle towel, I asked for a second one, as they did not fit with a five-year-old child on one. The pillows are small and uncomfortable.
The plumbing in this room is all old. I saw other numbers - they are newer. On the second day of our stay, mosquitoes appeared and were faithful neighbors throughout our stay.
The animation was: karaoke, small discos, mini disco, darts, foam party (but this is more a minus for me than a plus when it takes place in a pool. Chemists will understand me)
Special thanks to Sam, who was attentive to my request and moved the time of the game of darts to earlier due to the child's daytime sleep.
Rooms are cleaned daily, as are towels.
There are 2 pools on the territory, an adult 1.40 and a small paddling pool, the first 2 days we had to swim there, but when I saw how tourists (and there was more than one such character) wash their feet in the kids pool, I no longer allowed my child to enter it.
Meals: well, this is a canteen with a small edible selection of dishes, it seems like it costs a lot, but it’s not possible to eat. Therefore, in fact, we got a dietary and healthy diet, and the last days I generally turned out to be unloading. Well, more on that below. . .
Our diet: cauliflower and broccoli, rice, fresh cucumbers and tomatoes, greens. They didn’t leave hungry, but there was nothing to remember either.
It was also mashed a couple of times, the meat is cooked not tasty, they often give sub products (lamb liver, kidneys), mackerel was often presented, 1 time was a dorado. For dinner, they sometimes baked cakes with cheese, but their pizza is completely inedible. There were monotonous desserts, but those who were in the mood to devour - all swept away.
Of the fruits we got in 10 days - green plum and not sweet melon, dirty apples, amazing watermelon and oranges. The last days of my stay were grapes (I can’t say anything about it, I don’t eat it).
Separately, I want to say about sanitary conditions. I believe that a catering place should be isolated and air-conditioned. In my opinion, the canteen looked like a tent. Flies constantly fly over food.
There are no tablecloths on the tables, they wipe the surface poorly, the dishes are dirty, reusable plastic glasses came across several times with lipstick.
Once I discovered sour pasta and 4 days before departure I got poisoned. After talking with my compatriots, I found out that I was not the only “lucky one” that day. Thank God the kids are gone. Naturally, she informed the staff and said that this was unacceptable, the season was just beginning, and what would happen next!
Keep in mind, the cooler in the cafeteria is filled with filtered water. This water is not brought, the filter is installed under the bar.
Separately and in detail I want to tell you about the beach and the transfer to it.
The hotel was chosen according to the principle - to leave the cold city to the sun. Therefore, we were not embarrassed by the information about the 3rd coastline. At the beginning of summer, when the temperature is kept within 27-30, the road from a joint walk is a joy. I imagined a well-groomed asphalt road through palm trees and bushes with flowers, in fact the road was rocky, dusty (without a dedicated pedestrian sidewalk), in some places it ran through a garbage dump (it’s a construction site, well, who has any fantasies and associations here). We went through this abomination 1 time, then we used the services of taxi drivers. Approximately $ 5-7, if you cooperate with someone, then your trip can be $ 1 per adult, children have never been counted. Thanks to such conditions, they visited the sea only once a day.
The transfer is thought out in such a way that in the morning the bus takes vacationers to the beach three times at different times (the main thing here is to jump in), and takes them back from the beach three times in the evening. Accordingly, if you went to the beach in the morning and want to return to the hotel at 12.00, you have to either walk or take a taxi.
In the evening, the same picture is exactly the opposite: if you want to go to the beach - a taxi or a walk, and from the beach by bus (that's just not a problem, the last bus leaves the beach at 17.00).
There are no towels, drinks or food on the beach. All for cash.
