Super animation, food, staff attitude. The sea is nearby. The beach of the hotel is too small, who is not tied to a sunbed-50 meters to the left of the beach is it.the hotel is perfect, no one drove.
The hotel refused to check in without warning, despite the reservation and 100% payment (tour operator Biblio Globus) severely deceive people together with the host party
They sell tours to this hotel, in fact you are being taken to Alanya, to a hotel with much lower quality and price
As an alternative, hotels that do not correspond to the purchased tour and rating are offered
I highly recommend this hotel, even if it has a lot of positive reviews
The piggish attitude towards their guests !
As it turned out today, we were not the only lucky ones, on the eve the couple was also taken to Alanya and checked into another hotel
I did not expect such a setup from the tour operator and the hotel
One day of my vacation was just crossed out and passed in vain
Wasted time and nerves
No apologies or compensation
From 12:00 p.m., my child and I were taken for a ride along the Side - Alanya - Side route
Avoid this hotel and the tour operator Biblio Globus, if you do not want to spoil your vacation
There are pros and cons, choose for yourself:±:good choice of food, high-quality alcohol, liked tequila, gin and tonic, rum with pola- not lovers of sweet cocktails, asked for a double, ± location to the beach 5 minutes, to the street with stalls and a food store 5-7 minutes, to the ancient city on foot 45 minutes, by taxi 10 bucks to the center of Novomol, and a fur shop fashion show + free wifi even on the beach and a free safe.....Cons: the bed linen has not been changed once in 7 days.. Cleaning- visibility, the beach- rocks at the bottom, noise from animation - before leaving, we had to fall asleep earlier... -a very smart-ass hotel guide from Anex Rasul (he certainly helped, but every time with his own profit, if we pay, I would like the help to be selfless).
In general, a great hotel, the food is not 5*, but good, maybe we were under closure, animation - the guys are trying very hard. The beach is very small
Great hotel! We rested in it several times! The food is delicious! Animators are all well done! And in general, in all other respects, the hotel is at the level of
I stayed at the hotel in October 2022. I'll start with the beach. The beach is very cramped and often many people leave a towel here in the morning and do not come all day. As a result, not to yourself, not to people. There's nowhere to lie down. Of course, the sand is a plus. But when you go in right away, there's a huge boulder that could have been removed. It's easy to get injured anyway. You can order drinks and fast food at the bar, but the ice cream, which is like there, I haven't seen fruit in 2 weeks either. Well, there's nothing special about the pool. Food. There is also a separate topic here. Almost everything is cold and undercooked or overcooked. Breakfasts: boring and just rolls. If you want to taste better, pay. Lunch: mutton and beef, but rubber. There's also a chicken every day! Desserts are only beautiful in appearance. There's no dinner either. In general, I give this hotel a three and you can die of boredom here.
We had a rest from 18-25 to 10 2022. Wonderful rest, excellent Russian-speaking staff.Delicious food, lamb, beef, chicken, turkey, fish. Ice cream, fruits. We were satisfied, cleaning is daily, towels are changed. I want to come back, there are a lot of advantages.
Lovely hotel. We rested in it for 9 days. Excellent service. Everyone at the hotel is trying, doing everything for tourists. Everyone at the hotel is polite.
We had a rest at the end of September. Everything was great. In general , everything is for five . The animators are great! Especially Yulduz. I did water aerobics with her every day. On the sea. The beach is nice, the rooms are clean. The staff is friendly
I stayed at this hotel from 28.10-03.11.2022
The 5-star hotel does not pull, but my personal criteria have passed everything))
1. Excellent Internet, despite the fact that I was not on the first line, I was fishing by the sea)) this is the metro 300-400 from the hotel.
2. Excellent mattress on the bed.
3. Hammam massage! This is probably one of the best massages I've ever done.
4. Delicious baklava.
On food: it's not bad, of course, but you won't see any frills, moreover, the side dishes are cold, the soups are barely warm, and there's nowhere to warm up the whole thing. There are a lot of desserts, standard fruits, also without frills, persimmons and bananas were given for the last dinner. Ice cream only at lunch and dinner. Dishes are washed poorly, plates had to be wiped with a napkin, glasses, cups were stained((
In general, it is difficult to stay hungry, but starting from 29.10, one line of the table on which the food was laid out for breakfast was no longer covered.
By number: I was in the building closest to the sea, it was quiet and peaceful. They cleaned every day, but it's hard to call it cleaning, all the sand remained in the room. The towel was changed every day, the bedclothes were never changed. Cups were added. Shampoos, balms, and a bathrobe are missing.
There is a safe, nothing was missing from it.
Animation: so-so, in the evening they entertain mostly children, once there was a holiday in the evening, karaoke, and that's it. For adults, there is an opportunity to go with guides to the disco. There was water aerobics on the beach during the day.
Beach: a small area on the beach, few sun beds, all standing close to each other. Beach towels that have seen everything in their lifetime) Entering the sea is sand, a few stones, and then the slabs begin as steps up. And here you need to be very careful, because I hurt my finger the first time I went into the sea.
Still, I would give the hotel 4 stars with a stretch.
But in Turkey, it is very strange to give stars to a hotel, and you need to be honest and admit that this hotel cannot be compared with the real 5th.
In my opinion, a 5-star hotel should be close to ideal conditions. And Turkey unfortunately has its own "Turkish" star system))
In general, the vacation was a success, but I will not go to this hotel anymore, and I will not recommend it.

Hello everyone This review will be useful for the age group I think 20-35 years without children.
We rested from October 18 to October 25.
The tour operator declares that the hotel is 5 stars. In fact, 4 stars (clarified for the sake of interest in the hotel itself)
Let's start with the food, it's varied, delicious, but you'll still eat what you're used to. The one who writes sparsely and equally is what everyone is. Let's not lie! A lot of dishes. But not all are clear, there are many unusual ones. Therefore, there is food for everyone! But the most divine thing is the drinks! Namely the cocktails they make. At your request, they can mix whatever you want. They can do it at their discretion. Bartenders are cute! There is also a snack bar (burgers, French fries, onion rings, etc.), everything is delicious!
What upset me is that people start drinking in the morning and finish at night😂 probably it is necessary to limit the time of issuing alcoholic beverages, it is not very cool to be in an eternally drunk society.
By the way, basically a Russian-speaking hotel. A lot of them are from Russia, Belarus.
Everyone speaks almost Russian. There are no problems with this, although there are only foreigners in neighboring hotels on the contrary 😅
Now let's talk about WI-FI. We had problems with him. Caught only on the territory in certain places. I didn't catch it in the room. On the beach, they also said they turned it off (but I understood it was in the summer)
ABOUT THE BEACH. Everyone makes a problem out of him. So, yes, it's really very small, a sunbed on a sunbed. Almost all the sun beds are always occupied. Occupy from the night (but with us at night the hotel management went and collected towels of those who borrowed from the night) by the way, you have to pay 15-20 euros for a towel, according to the guide, if you lose it or borrow it like that from the night.
So here's a tip for everyone!!! Next to the beach, if you go to the left there is a wooden pier. There's never anyone there. Lie down there!! And the sea is cleaner there and there are almost never any people!
Now about entertainment. Damn, why do people write that there is no entertainment!!! Constantly evening events. I even managed to sing karaoke and win a medal. Animators are very cool!!!!! Young guys, they have worked out the season, they are very tired, but they continue to try!!! You are super!!! Adults can dance with them on the zumba. 😁 they take you to the disco (every other day for FREE). Plus, there are free discos in the disco bar on the territory of the hotel itself!!! All sorts of activities during the day! Is it not enough for you?
The territory and the rooms themselves are 4-.
But that's not the main thing! Did you come to sit in the room???
The pools are cool, the slides are too! Even adults ride. But the water temperature in the pool was already low at the end of October. Swimming in the sea is much more pleasant.
I would come back here again. The ticket came out of Sochi who is interested in 51,000 for 7 nights for 1 person. In my opinion, this price has been worked out in full!
THE MAIN PLUS is a very convenient location! You can walk along the embankment to the ancient city in Side. Or for 16 liras to take a ride on the number one minibus! If you need to go to novamall, you can go through a pharmacy (check with the guide) or with a transfer in the ancient city.(it is also reached by 1 minibus and then transfer to the bus to novamall for 20 liras). It is more profitable to change lira in Western Union exchangers. But it's best to bring dollars or euros with you. Go to a waikiki store or pharmacy. And ask for change in lira. And at a favorable rate it will be given. I did it in Novamall. By the way, there is a free Wi-Fi at the pharmacy in Novamall.
We are currently vacationing with the child in hotels. We are very disappointed with Armas. We thought the chain and any hotels in Armas would be fine, but no. Mosquitoes are everywhere, the child has an allergic reaction to mosquitoes. They refuse to change the number in any way. The photo booth does not open, they all fly from the balcony. People were asked if there were no insects on the upper floors. In general, the rest is spoiled from the first days
Nizhny Novgorod has been vacationing since October 14th. room 44/14 advantages. Food, accommodation, service, Animation pool. attentive and warm attitude to all requests of the Guli Administrator .Cons - places on the beach. I would like to see the pier. Like the Paloma Hotel next door. Basically, it left a warm and pleasant impression.
Good afternoon.
We had a rest with my husband at the hotel from 17.09 to 25.09.2022.
After reading reviews on the Internet, we went with doubts... although the travel agent assured that the hotel received 5* this year and renovation was carried out and many changes for the better took place in the hotel.
And indeed, the reality was very pleasantly surprised.
We arrived at the hotel at 11 a.m. We were immediately checked into the room, without having to wait until 14 00.
Based on the reviews, I decided immediately at the reception to ask if the room could be renovated (we were ready to pay extra) And again we were very pleasantly surprised when a young man called a guy from the staff, gave him the keys to two rooms and sent him and me to look at the rooms and choose.They did not ask for any additional payments, and there was not even a hint of it.
We checked into a room in the main building, on the second floor. The room is lovely with a fresh renovation. Everything you need is in the room. Cleaning every day.
The staff is helpful and friendly. They respond quickly to any request or question.
The territory is not large, well maintained.
Sun beds, beach towels, tables, chairs in bars are all new, in perfect condition.
There are enough sun beds near the pool, you can find free ones at any time during the day.
There are a lot of people on the beach, the sun beds are very busy. But even there, if desired, you can always find it.
The food is delicious, you definitely won't stay hungry.
The hotel is very well located, there is a place to go for a walk in the evening.
I liked the hotel very much, exceeded all expectations. We recommend it.
Amazing place, amazing staff, amazing vacation !!!
The food is delicious, the choice is great, the chef is a fire 🔥 the sea is clean and warm!
I will definitely come back here again!
Nice hotel. Meals are on "5+".The chefs are just magicians.Such an abundance of dishes - we didn't have time to try everything in 9 days
The location is relatively close to the sea, there is a "beach cafe" - you can sit in it with pleasure, looking at the sea.
The accommodation is not always equally comfortable (the 1st floor with access to the pool and the "dance floor with a variety platform" is very noisy and not bright enough), but we were moved to the 3rd floor without extra charges a day later. In general, the character is very friendly and solved all the issues. Fast and easy.
The hotel is not bad, at the level of a good 4* hotel. The best value for money. There are many vacationers from Russia. The staff understands and speaks Russian.
We had a family vacation at the hotel from September 19 to 26, 2021. Among the advantages are the gorgeous climate, the warm sea, the convenient location of the hotel relative to shops and animation! There is nothing more good to say. The dirt on the hotel grounds and in the rooms is terrible!
The maids only pick their noses for tips! The food is ordinary, without frills. Everything is modest, in economy mode.
We had a family vacation in Turkey in August 2022.
To be honest, it was my first time in Turkey and I was not inclined to believe that this was a place where I would have fun.
However, I was wrong. Of course, there are a lot of different criteria by which a person evaluates a particular place of rest, a country.
First of all, this feeling of happiness and satisfaction was given by the animation team. Denise, Maxim, Alexander, Albina, Yildiz and other guys, led by their Megaboss Toprak, gave maximum delight to me, my wife and children. Entertainment during the day, workshops, trainings, evening shows and discos for children are very cool productions! That's why it's worth going to this hotel for them. Because you can fill your stomach and swim in the sea and pool everywhere, but you can get a real buzz and positive emotions only from real professionals. The territory of the hotel itself is small, but it is even convenient, because any place is at hand. The road to the sea takes 3 minutes, which in principle does not bother, because you can walk a little. Of course, it is problematic with sun beds, they had to be occupied at 8 a.m. if you wanted to lie closer to the sea. We often came to the beach only at 10 a.m. and only the farthest sunbeds near the bar were free. The entrance to the sea is good, but in places there were stones, so we always tried to go in slowly so as not to hit them. It was a little annoying in the first days, but later we got used to it and already roughly remembered the places where they came across. The sea itself is gorgeous, warm, especially in the evenings, when it warms up even more.
Now there are comments on the quality of cleaning. They can all be eliminated if management keeps them under control.
Food is fire, the chef is a real master, while in his spare time he goes out into the hall and controls the situation in the hall, the availability of dishes and serving. Everything is there for everyone, for children, gourmets, vegans. In general, with food, snacks between official meals - everything is fine. There are cookies, sweets, Turkish tortillas, fruits, French fries, nuggets, burgers for snacks. In general, if you do not have time for breakfast or lunch, you will not stay hungry.
The bar is open from morning until late at night. The situation with drinks is like this - at one bar there are prepared "vats" with cocktails - 2 alcoholic and 1 non-alcoholic, at the other they cook in front of you and each time something new. I liked whiskey from strong alcohol.
There are two water slides - one regular with two thresholds, the second spiral. If you do not neglect the security measures, you will be satisfied.
Once a week there is a holiday - Turkish Night, it reflects the whole flavor of Turkish hospitality. The holiday is very fun. It starts during dinner - you are greeted with champagne, cocktails and fireworks, animators dress up as Turkish sultans, a professional dancer performs a belly dance. Then, in the evening, an ice cream cake is solemnly taken out in the amphitheater, vacationers greet the entire team of hotel managers and the general director, dance with them - in general, the atmosphere is magical.
A separate part of my review is children's entertainment. At first, my kids didn't really want to attend various events, but then they got very involved. Russian-speaking animator Denise and her colleague work with them. They attract other children and initiate them into animators. They help collect toys, monitor children and help them complete tasks at events. Drawing on T-shirts, bags, awarding diplomas and medals for participation and winning competitions - in general, the children are sincerely delighted, they did not want to leave. The evening mini-disco has become a tradition for them, although they were quite shy before and avoided such events. In order for parents not to get bored, they are also involved in dancing once per disco.
That's all I think I wanted to tell those who will decide where to go.
We were well received. The room was given a quiet one.
The food is monotonous, a lot of food is greasy, not healthy.
I don't drink alcohol, I don't know how he is. People drink swill, they like it.
They give out water in bars, Take as much as you want.
The bed linen is not changed, it was changed on the 5th day and then after 3 calls. One bed has not been changed. Madame called the room and rudely proved that she had a photo as it was changed. Clean bed linen is immediately visible - it is ironed, not wrinkled and there are no stains from fruits that the child put on.
The beach, as usual in such hotels, is occupied from early morning and there are few sun beds.
The rooms are poorly cleaned
There are a lot of mosquitoes in the rooms. There are not enough tables in the restaurant, there are a lot of people around the queue. There seems to be a lot of menus, but everything is the same.The compliment from the hotel had to go twice. They forgot.They brought wine and so-so fruits, including a rotten apple.In general, we came here in vain.Somehow he reaches the top four. May 2023.
We arrived from vacation today. We rested for 10 days in Armus. We are very satisfied. A great hotel for your money. Our friends were in Barut (it's nearby) for 2,300 euros for two for 9 days - I read reviews about Barut, some horror, solid negativity. So we have a great hotel for 70 tr for two. Special thanks to the "little boy" chef! Everything is very tasty, the staff is friendly and well-trained. And this is a great merit of the chef. He was always present at dinner and paid attention to what was better to eat and what was left on the plates. The dirty plate is taken away instantly. In general, there are no complaints about the kitchen - an A plus. I lowered my grade due to room cleaning. Disgusting. The girls speak only Turkish, they don't even understand English - papper. They don't do anything without a tip. The linen has not been changed in 10 days, there is a lot of garbage under the beds. The maids did not enter the room for three days. But we didn't go anywhere. In the end, I didn't want to overshadow my vacation and download my license. The sea is beautiful -plus 29 in September. Great food and animation in the evenings. They make a Turkish dinner on Tuesday. Everything is unusual with music and fireworks. A huge ice cream cake is brought out under the fireworks. Take as much as you want. Turkish songs and dances until 23 o'clock.
We were very satisfied with our stay and the hotel. The cleaning of the rooms would have attracted the attention of the administration. Yes, and paid Internet. The day is $4. A week is $14.

I've been there for the May holidays for 24 years. The hotel is for an amateur, there is nothing to say about it, a normal three-piece. I went there to see Side and I succeeded. There is a great promenade from the hotel to the city center, it has a lot of attractions. A great place
We are currently vacationing at this hotel. I can already say that my vacation was a success, definitely! We arrived at the hotel around 11 a.m., they promised to give us a room after 12, but we checked in 40 minutes later (they didn't pay money). The room is great, the Internet is free (it works great), the safe in the room is also free. The food is excellent, you can always choose for every taste, fresh vegetables and fruits, lots of desserts… In short, you can eat here around the clock! There is a kettle, tea and coffee in the room. The animators are wonderful, there is a feeling that they sincerely enjoy their work. The sea is nearby, a five-minute stroll along a shady road😊 I will add more to my review later)
It is declared by the tour operator as 5 stars, but it does not reach five. Especially when compared with the 5* standing next to it. First, we were moved to the 4th floor under the roof, we had to find out why the number one was paid....and they gave a completely different one. They were reluctantly relocated without additional payment.There is enough food and you can find something to eat.It's kind of very gloomy in the buffet area. You walk in the semi-darkness, you could add light. The animation is also so-so, the people are mostly on the beach during the day. There are boozers and children by the pool during the day. There are not enough sunbeds on the beach. The others will throw in a towel and leave, you need to look there are shoes or things....otherwise, you can safely take the sunbeds.The cleaning is good, but the hotel itself wants to be cleaner.The curtains in the room do not change after the departure of vacationers-in our room everything was smeared with smudges. After the last repair, the tile is filled with paint and has not been washed, the skirting boards are dirty, a lot of tiles are chipped off. If you understand that this is far from Europe, then this is normal.The beach is 5-10 minutes away. There are many Russians. The staff speaks Russian well. Any question will be answered and prompted.There are a lot of shops within walking distance. There is no transfer, we took a taxi ourselves for more than an hour from Antalya. Nearby is the ancient city of Side. You can ride on a minibus for 1 euro, everyone knows the driver and tells themselves who needs what. The people are very friendly. They try to make tourists feel comfortable.
I want to say right away who writes good reviews here, this is obvious at the request of the hotel staff. Don't get fooled by them! We turned a blind eye to the bad reviews, but they turned out to be ALL true! Disgusting hotel! Maximum of 3 stars. And now in order:
We had a rest on tour in October 2022. The hotel is located far from the sea. You need to walk for about 5-7 minutes. The beach has its own tiny territory, where sun beds are crammed even without distance between each other. I have to lie next to other people, without umbrellas and a table. There are a lot of people and children in the sea. This makes the water muddy and dirty. About 1,000 people were staying at the hotel. A room with a broken door and a balcony that won't close. There is a constant smell of sewage, so strong that there is a gag reflex. Broken sink, thin walls, lack of cleaning in the rooms.
Animation is like a children's camp. Children were painted with an aquagrimm - you can't look without tears. Three animators perform the function of DJ, presenter, coach, merch sellers.
There is a lot of food, but it is all delicious, greasy, of the same type. There is no meat, only chicken. The alcohol is all local, the cocktails are disgusting. Only beer is more or less. Everything else is impossible to drink.
And now about the atmosphere and the music. When you fly abroad for a vacation, you want to disconnect from the Russian atmosphere for at least a week. But no, in Armas Bella Sun, a Russian disco with 2MASHI, Artur Pirozhkov and everyone from this opera catches up with you.
We paid 200,000 rubles for the tour = $ 3300
They stood it for 2 days and demanded a refund. They withheld the fine, but it's better than continuing to stay in this hotel
14 Aug 2022
For the first time in Turkey, the expectation did not coincide with reality at all! We took a 5-star hotel, but it doesn't even pull for 4 ... on the first day, as soon as we approached the reception, the girl immediately began to say that "if you don't like the room, then only tomorrow we can change it for you," which already alerted... there was no balcony, and the view from the window was on the trash can. The next day, they came to the reception in order to change the room, to which the guy looked at us, laughed (!) and said mockingly that this was not provided for them. With grief in half, they changed our number after all :) the food tasted like that, so we ate mostly vegetables. The day before departure, we found just a LOT of ANTS in the corner of the room, which gnawed through all the packages and gifts home. I put 2 stars only for the cheerful animators and cleaners who promptly helped us get rid of the insects. And so, it's not worth your money
