Liked the hotel very much. But first things first.
When does the shuttle arrive at the hotel? (rather than dropping you off on the opposite side across the road) everyone looks out the windows. The hotel is impressive. Big, beautiful, pompous. Egyptian style. It consists of a huge main building and many bungalow cottages scattered throughout the territory. The area is very green. There are several pools, slides for children.
We arrived at the hotel in the morning around 10 o'clock. We were asked to leave our things at the reception and go to have breakfast. The breakfast was impressive. There was everything. There was an impression. It's not breakfast, it's dinner. Such was the variety of dishes. Including diet food. After breakfast, remembering that check-in starts at 14-00, we decided to take swimwear and go to the beach. What was our surprise when the girl from the reception asked: "Do you want to check in? " At the reception, one of the attendants always speaks Russian. Which is very convenient for those who do not speak English. I do not experience any discomfort in communication, as I speak English fluently. The waiters don't speak Russian. Mostly in German and a little in English. This, alas, is the specificity of Side, which is considered a German resort. They put us in a bungalow. Small but cozy room with everything you need. Balcony with plastic furniture. Everything worked. And the windows overlooked the garden. I have not rested in such silence for a long time. Amazing.

The beach is big. Enough sunbeds and umbrellas. Purely. The entrance to the sea is convenient. The food, as I said, is varied and tasty. You can dine in the main restaurant or in the beach bar. There are several a la carte restaurants. You sign up for them yourself, through a computer at the reception. The big minus of the hotel is a lot of people. Therefore, finding a table is sometimes a problem, despite the huge number of halls and terraces in the restaurant. Mostly Russians and Germans have a rest, there are also Turks. The waiters give preference to the Germans and you need to be prepared for this. Only they are instantly brought cutlery and drinks, and you have to run after the waiter to draw his attention to yourself.
The hotel has good animation, including children's. Constantly hold some events and evening programs.
We came home, but we still remember with pleasure a wonderful vacation.
