Очень хороший отель Very good hotel

I will not say anything new for tourists who choose "all inclusive", the main thing is a comfortable cozy hotel, animation, varied food and a beach. The hotel chosen for a summer vacation with children fit all the criteria. . . with small nuances.
There were no recent reviews of the hotel on Russian-language sites at the time of the tour purchase due to the fact that the Novapark Hotel had previously worked with foreign tourists, mainly from Germany. Probably, like most hotels in the vicinity of Side, so chosen by the Germans. Hence all the information on the hotel premises in Turkish, English and German. This year the situation has changed radically and a stream of tourists from Russia, Ukraine and Belarus has simply poured into Novapark. Children especially like it, as there is no language barrier and they immediately find friends.
The hotel is located in the village of Kumkö y, so in the evening if you want to fuss, you can go shopping.

A little about the flight. When buying a tour, we immediately took a regular flight from Turkish Airlines with night flights. And as a result, no flight delays reported in the latest news, and a full 13 days. We arrived at the hotel at 10 am and had breakfast. After that, we changed clothes and went to the pool to wait for the room to be ready. The flight home was at 23.30, so we left the hotel after dinner at 20.00.
The room was ready at 12 am. However, he did not fit because of its location (the last floor and the view on the opposite side from the sea, on the road). After contacting the receptionist, we were kindly provided with a view of the pool on the formal 1st floor. Why formal? Because from the pool from -1 floor it was really necessary to climb 3 floors up. Family room, two rooms, one of which is walk-through. Enough furniture, two TVs. There is a kettle, cups, instant coffee and tea bags. The fridge was filled daily with water bottles. The only weak point is the bathroom, where a narrow glass partition separates the shower from the toilet. So narrow that the entire floor was constantly flooded with water after taking a shower.
The main pool is in the form of a three-petal flower, in the middle with an island and bridges. A small paddling pool for very young children, located next to the playground and miniclub. Another small pool with 2 slides, which worked for two hours before and after lunch. There are quite enough sun loungers, with mattresses. We spent time on the beach until lunch, stayed by the pool in the afternoon and always found free places, despite the fact that many of the sun loungers were occupied by "specially gifted".
The main restaurant is large, there are many tables, 2.4 and 6 seaters. There are tables on the street, but they are not very comfortable due to stuffiness. Everything is good with food, meat, fish, fruits, ice cream, juices in packages. Three a la carte restaurants by appointment. Bar in the lobby, where there are always sweets; a bar by the pool, where in the afternoon, in addition to the standard service, gozleme, donuts, and potatoes were prepared; a bar on the beach where you can eat at lunchtime without returning to the hotel.

The hotel is on the second line from the sea, no more than 5 minutes on foot. For the lazy or tired, there is a shuttle with very frequent regularity. The weak point of the hotel is the beach. More precisely, the entrance to the sea, where shapeless boulders come across under your feet, a meeting with which guarantees you at least bruises. However, if you go 50-100 meters to the left or right, then you can normally go in and swim. Which is what we did. The sea itself is shallow and calm, a great option for families with small children. Those who love deep water will be bored and not interested. There are also plenty of sun loungers on the beach. Before lunch, you can entertain yourself with bocci or volleyball on the beach of the neighboring hotel. Own volleyball court is located on the territory of the hotel, next to the miniclub.
Animation at the hotel is represented by guys from Turkey, who have nothing to do with Russian. They communicate in German and English. Lifesaver - Elena from children's animation, a very friendly and benevolent girl from Ukraine. But is it really a problem - the lack of knowledge of foreign languages, if you are fluent in sign language))). Animators do their job, it seemed to me, very well.
There is a taxi and dolmush (minibus) stop next to the hotel, it takes 7-10 minutes to go to Side, about 15 minutes to Manavgat. The cost of dolmush is 1 dollar / person.
In general, the hotel justifies its cost and can satisfy many tourists. I can safely recommend it for a holiday.
