Rested from 12-22.10.2022 2 adults + child 5 years old
Overall, the impression of the hotel is very good, there are definitely more advantages:
+excellent location at the beginning of the promenade (3km) to the old town of Side. You can walk, you can take a local minibus (runs along the main road)
+free safe, Wi-Fi, beach towels
+fresh renovation in the rooms
+there is a kettle, tea, coffee, refrigerator in the room
+ varied meals (were in the first half of October)
+good animation for both adults and children, the presence and operation of a children's club
+friendly staff
+ in the bar at the reception, the bartender makes wonderful cocktails) from alcohol, I personally saw white, red, pink wine, beer, rum, gin, crayfish, whiskey
-the biggest disadvantage is that the double bed is 140*200. 140!!! For the average Russian person, this is sooo little))
-in October, the water in the pools is of course cold, because they are in the shade most of the time (I would like heating)
-well, of course, audibility, but this is in every hotel where I have been, the walls are paper)
The hotel is super, the food is at the highest level, there is a lot of it and it is very tasty.! The animators are above all praise, Alex and Max are just fire, lighters!!! The location of the hotel is in a good location, a 3-minute walk to the sea! Cleanliness and order peace and tranquility! Thanks for the rest, we did not disappoint!
Excellent hotel, rested for a week, from May 22-29, 2023. We flew in Turkishas, from St. Petersburg for 4 hours. Four buildings, fresh repairs everywhere. Free Wi-Fi, on site and on the beach. The sea is nearby, 300m. The sand, the sea is shallow. Great animation every day. Good food, fruits, greens, pastries. Bottled wine, juices, cocktails. Very friendly staff, solve all problems at once. I am happy with my vacation, I recommend it.
Bought as 5*, from 15.10.23 9 nights = 160 k for 2.
Far from 5ka at best and 4-*
pluses:
From the airport 1.5 +- hours.
In October, the sea is warm, in the afternoon +30, in the evening +18, 20 cool.
Food, no frills, you will not stay hungry, there is always rice, pasta, fries, fresh vegetables, chicken, turkey
To antique Side 15 minutes by minibus (number 1, travel for 1chelka 17 lira).
Free in-room safe
Wi-Fi at the hotel (does not catch on the beach)
minuses:
-The age category of vacationers is 50+
-The beach is a small place, the sunbeds stand to each other without a distance from the word at ALL.
80% of the sunbeds are ALWAYS occupied by granny towels. At 7 am half of the sun beds are already "booked", at 9 am there are NO free sun beds. Only on the beach of this hotel is such a mess going on, there is always a place on the beaches nearby.
- Queues in the dining room. Perhaps there is not enough space, perhaps the peculiarities of the age category cause this behavior.
- there is no age category of 25-35 years at all, 90% of vacationers are Russian
The hotel is for four, not five stars, as stated. The area is very pretty, the plants are well maintained. The hotel is well located, there is a place to walk, the old town of Side is 3 kilometers along the promenade.
The rooms are cleaned cleanly, but the renovation was a long time ago.
The food in the restaurant is varied, the food is delicious.
The main problem of the hotel is that there are many more guests than the beach can accommodate.
Not a new but very cozy hotel. The staff is good, always ready to help. The room has clean tea, coffee, kettle, safe. The internet is excellent on site and on the beach. The beach is a 3-minute walk away. The cuisine in the restaurant is very good, something new is prepared every day (hot dishes)
We stayed at this hotel from October 20 to October 28, 2022.The food in kracia is super delicious, I have been cooking for the 14th time in Turkey, so there is something to compare it with.
Animation in general 4.5 out of 5 guys are trying very hard Alex hello and the girl from Uzbekistan I don't remember her name, the main minus of this hotel for me is the beach and the sea! The entrance seems to be normal, but then there are slabs and pits where you can really get a tram, for the side the entrance is very small to the waist.And very well, very small beach line of the hotel, the sun beds are nose to nose, even at the end of October after 9.00 there were no sun beds anymore, this is the main disadvantage otherwise the warmest, kindest and good memories of the hotel.Sebastian, respect you, the waiter guy runs everywhere trying to please everyone.And in general, the staff work for 5 in general, all well done!Maybe you remember me, Slavik had a rest from October 20 to October 28, 2022.Sang karaoke songs on day 2o1,Horses,White Roses,Green-eyed Taxi,Officers
We rested from 03.08.23 to 12.08. The disadvantage is that it is not possible to try all the dishes in the restaurant and those dishes that are prepared on site. Everything is nutritious and delicious. In bars (open until 2 a.m., and after that, you can buy alcohol until the morning). The service, the staff are polite and attentive. I really liked the spa and sauna. The beach is on 4, when entering the water sometimes you come across small stone deposits, you can injure your leg. But this is the last disadvantage of this hotel. We were satisfied.We recommend you to visit.
Yes, the bar is diverse. It's good. There are 2 small slides by the pool that close at different times: they can be blocked at 15, at 16, or even at 12 o'clock in the afternoon. You can't swim in the pool after 18, they change the water. There are more people than beds. It is not always possible to take a place in the shade..) You can find omelets with a huge amount of shell, or undercooked, undercooked food, but the very variety of dishes smoothes this disadvantage. But these are small things. What really struck me was the Terrible attitude towards the service staff. I went for a massage in the Hammam to the wonderful masseuse Shakira. I am very grateful to her. I would like to note the professionalism. When she did the massage, she explained what, how and for what she was doing. I got into conversation with her and we started chatting. When we decided to say goodbye on the territory of the bar, she and a work colleague with whom we just sat quietly and talked were called screaming to the reception, where they were given a huge fine and fired with shame and obscenity! It was terrible. The staff is treated like slaves, like cattle. I tried to explain that we were just saying goodbye, but they didn't pay any attention to me. On the surface, everything is friendly and clean, but at the end of the rest, the whole impression was spoiled. They immediately explained that sunburn and sunstroke are not included in the medical insurance. People in white coats with a first aid kit and answered that they were not doctors... And it was those who helped that made a living hell in front of my eyes. I will never fly to this hotel again.
We had a rest in June. The service is excellent. The rooms were cleaned daily, water, food, I liked everything. The children were not bored. Only on the beach there were not enough sunbeds for all vacationers.
We stopped by for a few days. The food is undoubtedly delicious, the rooms are good. But one way or another you notice that the place is quite budget-friendly. Those who like to relax in a purely Russian contingent will like it. Of the minuses, it is also worth noting the beach, or rather the complete absence of free sunbeds. And in principle, being there creates the feeling that this is a beach in Sochi at the height of the season.
On May 9, 2023, I stayed at this hotel for a week. Overall, the hotel is not bad. Of the advantages: 1. Good location and the very design of the hotel. 2. Food for a solid four (the only complaint is that the Turks do not have to cook milk porridges from the word at all), although they have their own national dishes that they are proud of. As for the variety, it is there, but it must be borne in mind that this is not a Michelin level, therefore it is somewhat strange to require any frills. The ice cream is of average quality, so who needs to taste better - Migros is not far away, you can buy more delicious ice cream there. 3. Good attitude towards Russians, both among the staff and the local population. Anything can happen, but often the Russians themselves are to blame for this - you need to respect another country and its culture. 4. Walking distance to the beach-about three minutes walk. A big plus is that you don't have to cross any highways.5. Internet is available throughout the hotel, in the rooms and on the beach. Of the cons: 1.Very poor sound insulation in the hotel rooms. 2. A poor-quality beach with slabs with sharp edges and a large number of stones at the bottom of the sea. You can really hurt your leg. 3. For lovers of historical monuments, the disadvantage is that it takes at least an hour to walk to the Old Town of Side. Although it is possible to travel by bus, it is not known how often it runs. They also write that it is not convenient with small children. It depends on how old these children are. I flew to Antalya in an airplane with three or four children under the age of three. It begs to ask - why do stupid parents bring such small children with them? Before the age of four or five, a child has nothing to do in such places at all. And for five-year-olds, everything is there. Regarding the beach, there may not be enough sunbeds, but you can go to another beach. If you don't have a sunbed, then you can go anywhere. If you just need to sunbathe, you can go to the pools, there has always been a place there. And if you just can't stand the sea, then please, the coastline is big. Of course, you need to understand that Turkey is different from the UAE, Oman, and other countries where our compatriots travel. Turkey is not a rich country and there will be no such delights as in the Emirates in Turkey. Therefore, you need to adequately perceive the level of service and understand that for such money as in Turkey, you should not expect anything more.
A very small beach for so many buildings and, accordingly, vacationers!!! I would also like the spicy dishes in the restaurant to be marked in some way.
The budget five. The food is delicious and varied. Animation is on the level. The room was cleaned every day, but one shift is cleaner, the other is so-so. The hotel has a well-groomed territory, the animation is active. The only drawback is a very small beach, sun loungers must be occupied in the morning, otherwise they will not get it. Overall a great hotel at an affordable price!
We were in August 2023. Super! The staff is great! They work like clockwork. There is a lot of food, a large selection. We didn't stay hungry even once))) even the daughter is fastidious- she didn't starve!!! Swimming pools, two slides, the sea, the beach (a little walk- 2 minutes), a beach bar! The sun beds were occupied after breakfast and they were always ... animators in general- fire!!! And in the morning, afternoon and evening - they entertained us!!!
I advise everyone!!! We had a great rest!!!
Next year we will go there!!!
We stayed at the hotel 2 years ago. We go to Turkey every year, but this year we only want to come here again. There is no such positive anywhere! The memories are cool!!! We are booking this hotel this year!
We are currently vacationing in this hotel with a child of 10 years old. The hotel is certainly not five stars, but the rooms are modern. Cleaning every day. The location of the hotel is very good. Everything is within walking distance. The sea is 3 minutes on foot. You can walk along the road along the sea to the ancient city of Side (3 km). There is a pharmacy nearby and several shops. There is a bus stop nearby. You can drive to the Center of Side. There is a bus every hour that takes you free of charge from the hotel to Nova moll. The restaurant is very clean. There are many different dishes. But there is not enough meat. Mostly chicken, fish. Lots of fresh vegetables, olives, fruits. There is a very good animation for children, especially for the little ones. Every evening there is a show program. The staff is polite, everyone speaks Russian. If possible, I will choose the same hotel, I recommend it with families with children.
Well, here you can write for a long time, and this, of course, is not a five.
The biggest disadvantage, for those who want to lie on the beach specifically, is a small beach with sunbeds on each other's heads, BUT....There is a long coastline and you can wander around and get an appetite and tan. But I got up at 7:00, at 7:30 I occupied the sun beds and went to breakfast, because then you won't go to bed anymore😭🤭
In general, the food is varied.
The best building is 3, we lived in it, the quietest and closest to the sea is room 3216! Tired sconces, once upon arrival there were sets of shampoos and gels, then no one updated them. They cleaned it a couple of times and forgot to put at least one towel at all, a trifle, of course, but it's strange.
We didn't even try alcohol (local slurry) it was fine only beer (Efes, I saw kegs brought)
I can't say that the whole staff is friendly, there were a couple of girls (Russians) they worked with such faces that you don't go to a fortune teller there-they were already all shaken.
The transfer was excellent both there and back.
The location of the hotel is generally fire: go 1-1:20, and then walk in different directions in the evening, there are cheap minibuses from the hotel 300m stop.
There are a lot of cats on the territory, everyone loves them and feeds them) one of us slept all night long.
We had a rest with a child from May 26 to June 2. We are very happy, the child did not want to leave. The rooms are clean, cleaned every day. The beach is 3-5 minutes at a leisurely pace. WiFi is great at the hotel and on the beach!!! Animation is 100 points. Mini disco for 5+++. And in general, the animation team is blessed! Just well done. Special greetings to Denise.
The food is varied, for every taste. Ice cream every day.a very cozy hotel. Thanks
Great hotel. We were with the children. I'm thrilled. On a budget. They clean up a lot. Pnripaumch. The power supply is all OK. The sea is 6 minutes away. 600 meters and all up to the waist 🤣
For this level of hotel, the price is very high. Let's start with the pros: good animation for children and even for adults, rooms after renovation, good rough tiles are laid out near the pool, which is not a little important, because you can always slip on a smooth one. This is where the advantages end. The food is disgusting, there is no meat, only soy products. The beach is so small, the sunbeds lie close to each other, and the cherry on the cake, these sunbeds should be occupied at 6-7 in the morning.
Great hotel. We really liked it. Very good management at the hotel. Everyone is trying to please tourists. Well done. A good sandy beach. The pools are also very clean.
The hotel is not bad, there is always something to choose from, the room is cleaned every day, the pool is clean, the animation team is excellent. The only beach, there are catastrophically few sunbeds, everything is like herrings in a barrel. The sea is excellent and clean.
We stayed at the hotel from 08/25/2013 for 10 days. Rooms, food and animation on 4. The worst impression of the beach! The beach area is very small, the sea is dirty, you walk 200 meters into the sea and everything is shoulder-high. There are catastrophically not enough sun beds, they are stuck to each other. The administration doesn't give a damn about this problem! Line 2 and walk 8 minutes to the sea along an indecently unkempt
road where vehicles pass! I do not advise anyone to relax in this hotel. By the way, the whole family got infected with coronavirus there! We got sick there on day 3. Upon arrival home, they passed a covid test and turned out to be positive! Draw your own conclusions!
We had a rest in July 2022. We really liked the wonderful and polite staff of the hotel. Special thanks to the chef and his close-knit team for the excellent cuisine. Animation for both adults and children is on top. The room is cleaned, everything is clean. There is also animation on the beach, there is a bar where you can eat if you don't want to go to a restaurant. The bar has alcohol and drinks. On the beach and in the rooms, Internet, safe for free
I would love to come here again. Big greetings to Rufat, thank you for your kindness and willingness to help in any situation. 👍👍👍
A great family hotel.
Excellent staff work.
The animation is beyond praise! When the hotel is fully loaded, there are always free seats in the restaurant, by the pool.
The truth is that sun beds on the beach need to be taken care of in the early morning)
A great hotel in its category. It was a pity to come back. Hammam, massage is great. The boys are doing a good job. Greetings to Ali from kurdas! I am very grateful to the massage therapist Khabul. Very delicate, strong, professional. My back and neck don't hurt, I think I've even lost weight. Greetings to Murat, Ali, Zaur
Thanks for everything! For the pasta of your choice, for mussels in batter, baked duck, tuna in salt. For Wi-Fi even at sea. For a spacious room with soft slippers). For the friendly Russian-speaking staff. For dancing in the evenings. Everything was wonderful!
Not a big, but comfortable family hotel, vacationers are mostly Russians,ultra meals,one restaurant and 4 intermediate food outlets,the cuisine is varied and delicious, the rooms are comfortable, but in Real life it is a good 4ka, not 5ka,3 minutes walk to the beach,the beach is private.
Meal.. tasteless bitter greens. There are no delicious cheeses, all are salty. The rest is delicious, especially pasta on fire) the service is good. The rooms are clean.. it can be seen that it was repaired, but it can already be refreshed. There is little space in the restaurant and on the beach. We have to take seats early. The beach is very close. Great animators. They are trying very hard. I love them))) the location is great. Walking along the beautiful embankment 40 minutes to the old side
Very nice hotel. Home, family. The best location in Side, the promenade to the temple of Apalon, and shops are just a step away. The beach is sand, children's paradise. I recommend it to everyone.
The hotel is good. Corresponds to 4*.The food is varied and delicious. The rooms are good. Cleaning for the 3rd day (only change towels and sometimes wipe the floors)The staff is friendly. The beach is sandy, sometimes there are stones. There are not enough sun beds belonging to the hotel. There are a lot of people in the hotel. The location is great. Everything is nearby and the promenade street and the beach.
Varied food, delicious sweets. Excellent service, incendiary animation. The rooms are large, with balconies.Cleanliness is maintained. The staff is excellent. The beach is located not far from the hotel.
Good afternoon. We are currently vacationing at this hotel with two children (3 and 5 years old). I really liked the hotel: the room is spacious, the beach is large, there are a lot of sun beds (the only thing that most of the comrades occupy with a towel, and they themselves go on an excursion or go for a walk), the pools are clean, animation from morning to late evening. The food is varied, there is plenty of everything!!!! The only huge disadvantage is room cleaning!!! The floor is not washed from the word at all, if you catch a cleaner, then one rag in the whole room will wash it. Towels are not changed, the garbage is taken out every other time, while tips are taken with pleasure! Dear hotel administration, pay attention to the quality of room cleaning!
This is not the first time in Turkey. We rested for 14 days. We chose the Side area and the Armas Hotel. It takes about an hour to get to the hotel, but the buses are big, we stopped at other hotels and it turned out to be 1.5 hours on the way. Coral tour operator. Name it no. Everything is clear. The reviews about the hotel are mostly positive, and that's where we stopped.
About the hotel: solid 5*
The territory is small, as we wanted, everything is within two or three steps. As stated on the hotel's website, everything is there. 2 bars, any drinks: alcoholic, children's, dairy (not like in Russia. Ice is added instead of ice cream. For an amateur. The son did not drink), non-alcoholic, just water, juices, etc. One bar is open until 23, the other until 2 am.
Snack bar: burgers are on fire, I didn't think I'd eat them myself)))fries, onion rings, like nuggets, only big ones. Everything is very tasty. They also make something similar to a pancake with different fillings nearby. Delicious.
Sometimes the boy would go out and make hot dogs, with sausages or small cutlets + vegetables. Who missed breakfast, this is it))))
Two slides. Working hours are from 10-12, then from 14-16. This is enough for children, believe me. Everyone rides from babies to dads with children. Moms roll down screaming)))
2 pools: large, depth 1.40 m and medium, along with a children's pool, depth 1.40 to 1.10 m (where the slides are), the smallest, we were not in it, the son is big)))
Rooms: because we were not going for rooms, but for the sea and the sun, then they are quite normal for us: clean, renovated, nothing fell off, the air conditioner worked constantly and properly (the key was not taken out) so that you could sleep in the room at night. I don't like cleaning all the time, we were cleaned 2 or 3 times. It was enough for us, the garbage bags were simply put out or given to the girls.
To the sea, as written, no more than 5 minutes. We liked it, as they say, to shake up one place. There is also a bar on the sea, it is up to 18, except for beer there is no alcohol there. A cheerful bartender, you can chat. The sun beds, as many wrote, are all packed. We went to the sea after the slides, there were places. In the morning, most likely, everything was packed.
Animation: That's 10 points out of 10!! Top class!!! The guys are great!!! Sasha, Maxim, Denise - You are super cool!!! The others, too, I don't know their names, they're Turks.
Hamam: we didn't hit it. Next time I will definitely come and run to the hammam.
Dining room: a variety of delicious food. There are no comrades in taste and color, for me, I liked it. I'm afraid I haven't even tried half of it. I really love Turkish soups, I only ate them))) there were a lot of different fruits. The chef went out to the hall for dinner. I regret that I did not take a picture with him. Sweets are my sore subject, I also ate, I ate non-stop))) I have a sweet tooth)))
I am very pleased with the hotel, the staff, the cuisine, the animation, and everything that was there!!!
I recommend the hotel!
Most likely, we will fly here next year ...
I can write for a long time, if you have any questions about the hotel, write...
A very good hotel, it can be seen that the rooms have recently been renovated, the bar is on fire, the whiskey is delicious, the food is excellent, the beach is sandy, there are many places, I recommend it to everyone.
Very cool, I want to fly to the same hotel next summer, the food is very tasty, I really really liked it, the pool with slides, a foam party, there was a Turkish night and very cool dishes
The hotel is very small, the sun beds by the pool are so close that you have to go around everything to get out...on the beach at 6:40 in the morning, sun beds are occupied up to row 5/6🙉🙈If you arrive at 11, you will be sitting with a towel at the table BECAUSE there are no seats !The room was given with a view of the wall, I had to pay extra because they said that there were no rooms available, but by some miracle a room was found for a fee.... The food is so-so, everything is very spicy, 2 times people swore that there was a spoiled salad on the table... The beach has no territory at all, it's just very small...The battle for the sunbed begins at 5 a.m. probably The embankment is beautiful, it is very pleasant to walk there. You have to stand in line for everything... coffee, hamburger, ice cream, there is always some kind of battle in the morning and evening, there are a lot of people, the hotel area is not designed for such a number of people... The animation is ordinary, boring, a lot of things are paid for children (draw on a T-shirt, sand drawing)You have to pay for all this .You can only get a towel from 08 to 11 if you dirty it, then no one will replace it for you, they will say sit on the dirty one (they will show the documents how much they poor spend for washing 😆😆😆)... I do not know who writes such laudatory reviews, most likely people were only in such hotels or in the south of Russia.... Hide
There is a pharmacy across the street from the hotel, if you are burned then go there, super cream is there for you, it helped me a lot!!!then we also bought for the face and body there!🔥
Delicious food, the sea is nearby. The staff is good. There are entertainment programs every day and evening. Drinks at the bar are also on the level. Time flies by in such a hotel and you want to come back again.
I liked the hotel, 5 minutes walk to the beach
, the beach is clean enough, the staff is kind, the animators are kind and beautiful, the rooms are new and spacious, the food is quite varied and delicious, the pools are clean, cleaning every day
I have never seen such a terrible hotel in my vacation practice, what 5⭐️ are you talking about, gentlemen??? Here the hotel hardly pulls for 3!!
If you describe this hotel in one word, then it would definitely be an obscene word!!!
They settled in a tiny room, in the bathroom there is a persistent smell of urine like in a doorway, a balcony with a view into the wall that you can reach with your hand.
This is a symbiosis of a shit-eating and uncultured, non-customer-oriented staff! Here they can close the bar in front of your nose, sending you to another bar to which you can cut through 2 pools, or turn off the lights in the lobby when you are sitting there with your family, playing board games, I emphasize we relax without alcohol, no Tag on our part! I have not seen such a boorish attitude for a long time, although I have already visited more than 20 countries. The cuisine is monotonous, desserts are just some kind of horror, more or less edible oriental sweets, cakes and pastries - bread with margarine, not even with butter. The plates are dirty, do not believe it, check for yourself, swipe your finger, you will feel "clean" to the touch, you had to wash the plate every time, fortunately there is boiling water in tea machines.
They don't give you normal meat, there has never been anything decent, there are always some overcooked semi-finished products, by and large there is nothing to eat, watermelons saved🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️
I strongly do not recommend coming here, personally for me and my family - this hotel with its wonderful staff was the biggest disappointment!
Yes, I almost forgot, both our children are athletes, strong, healthy children, they do not get sick in winter, but after the first day in the pool, which is with slides, the eldest first fell ill, then the youngest with a temperature of 39.5. A sleepless night was provided.
I don't know about you, but I won't come to this dump anymore and I don't recommend it to you!!!
Minus:
-The condition of the hotel, even after renovation, is terrible.
- The staff.
-Beach and beach equipment.
- Kitchen.
-Drinks are so-so, level 3⭐️.
Positive:
-Animation with a big stretch of 4⭐️.
- Not a bad Internet connection.
1) Food - for a week and a half, only once we met a more or less acceptable food for the child. The rest of the time, everything is in terrible sauces and spicy that you can't take in your mouth. Rice crunches on the teeth, pasta does not save anything - they are tasteless.
Everything about the grill is a separate story. They don't wash it, they just rake up the scraps from the last portion and put a new one. As a result, everything is in pieces of burning and terribly tasteless.
2) The rooms are small. They clean quite well for their money. They definitely take out the trash every day.
3) swimming pool. There's nothing to fight about. The only thing is that in the afternoon the water warmed up to 35 degrees, but this does not apply to the hotel in any way, rather to the temperature outside.
4) Animation. I've never seen so many people participate in animation in my life. And water polo, and yoga, and aerobics, and pool games. The aqua aerobics pool was full!!!
The situation was similar at sea.
The second pool was with water mountains. Overall, it was not bad, the children and adults were happy!
5) here I will not be original - I will say as in all reviews. The beach is small and the sun beds are always occupied. It started with 4 people and we found 1 lounger with grief in half just to throw things on it!
The sea is muddy, there are sooo many people.
If you are not a picky person, in general, this hotel is quite suitable for a budget holiday.
