Have a good rest without any problems! June 1-15, 2024 We bought a tour from Sunmar. Flight S7 ✈️ – everything is fine and without delays. The hotel is located in the village of Cholakly, 55 km from the airport. We arrived at the hotel on an individual transfer at night ($40 per person). They gave us $ 10 at the reception, asked for a nice room and we were quickly checked in, escorted to the room, helped to carry our suitcases. The room was received in a new building overlooking the pool, large and cozy, clean, renovated and everything necessary for living. Double bed and one single bed (for 3 people), mini fridge, TV, air conditioning (works if the door to the balcony is closed). I was pleased with the carpet on the floor. One key card is given to the room. For the second key – a $ 5 deposit at the reception. You need to take both keys with you when you leave. We had no problems with cleaning the room. The food is normal, standard for budget hotels. Yes, in the main (only) restaurant, there may be little meat, not very tasty sausage. But there are a lot of vegetables , greens and various salads. Fish. Meat from the grill. Soups. Side dishes . Sweets. It is more difficult to find food for children. Opening hours: Breakfast (turning into brunch) from 07:00 to 10:30. Lunch is from 12:30 to 14:00. Dinner from 19:00 to 21:00. Late dinner from 00:00 to 00:30 (never been there). The new building has a bar with burgers, pizza, delicious donuts, fruits, delicious watermelon and other snacks during the day. At 20:00, ice cream is distributed near the main restaurant (one in one hand) and there is always a huge queue behind it.. At lunch there is always food on the beach, gozleme tortillas. However, you need to go up the hill from the beach.., there is also a bar with a beautiful view of the sea. The staff are great, friendly and try very hard to do their job. Their boss keeps an eye on it every day. On the bar there is alcohol from small "snacks", Tuborg draft beer is good (probably 2 degrees), poured into glasses. The sea is wonderful!🌊 The beach is about 700 meters away. A minibus runs to it from 08:00 to 17:00 (but not often – about every 15 minutes), without air conditioning and a lot of people in it. And in 10-15 minutes you can walk. The beach is large and spacious, a gentle entrance, sand, sun beds with mattresses, - a thrill! An awning is stretched over the sun beds. No need to look for a shadow. There are changing rooms and showers. You can buy corn , freshly squeezed cocktails , and berries. There are small rocks on the shore, but you can get around them if you go into the water closer to the neighboring hotel to the right. There are water sports services. The territory of the hotel is cozy and green palm tree. Clean pools with two slides on each of the pools (their opening hours are from 10:00 to 12:00 and from 15:00 to 17:00). One pool is quiet, and the other has music. There is a children's area with small slides near the new building. There is also a mini club for children at certain times for children from 4 to 12 years old. There, children are engaged in creativity, they are made aquagrim, if desired, they draw on T-shirts / bags for an additional fee. There is a hammam and massage💆♀️ – excellent, I recommend it! There is a hairdresser where they make beautiful pigtails. The animation is very interesting. The animators from the hotel have nothing to worry about, everyone is sluggish and tired. Once there was a foam disco. They invite you to outdoor discos for $ . The children at the animation in the hotel just turn on the music so that they repeat the movements. In the evening, music plays loudly, and many people sit at the bar, behave loudly (regardless of the nation)… Therefore, if you are going to sleep peacefully at night and with young children, it is better to ask for a room in a new building. But we had fun). Wi-Fi🛜 did not catch anywhere from the word at all (on the iPhone). Therefore, the Internet was available on a Tele2 phone (400 rubles per day without downloading large amounts of information). If you leave the hotel to the left – pharmacy, Migros. And so there is nowhere special to go near the hotel. We went on a sightseeing tour in Side from the guide. A large comfortable bus. We visited the ancient city and the temple of Apollo, the main mosque, and the tour also included a walk along the Manavgat River, a beach and swimming in the sea, a visit to the waterfall, and the olive museum. The guide told interesting stories and gave a lot of information about the country and places. But everything is fast. If there is a desire to walk around Side, then it is better to go on your own. Since there are many shops with sweets, souvenirs, and ice cream in Side. Everything is shiny, colorful and pleasing to the eye😍 We went to the Lviv Park on our own (it's expensive and not worth the money, although there are a lot of animals, but somehow everything is not brought to mind). We went to a singing fountain show in Turkish Disneyland. It's a long way. Shopping is for those who are hunting for global brands of clothing and shoes. And they changed the money from their guide, transferred it from Sberbank and she gave cash in lira. In general, those who come with a positive attitude will be satisfied. For us, the hotel met all expectations. For an adequate price, I would return to this hotel and to warm, hospitable Turkey! 🇹🇷💚

We were at the end of the season. Clean, nice, responsive administrators. They take you to the sea by hotel bus or 10 minutes on foot. The beach is nice, but too small for such a large hotel. The sun beds under the canopy were occupied in the evening. They were fed without frills, but there were a lot of vegetables and herbs of excellent quality. Fish (so-so), chicken, turkey, sometimes beef, soy meat substitutes (quite tasty). You can also have lunch on the beach. From baking biscuits (nothing special). From alcohol : whiskey, red (not very) and white (quite) wine, vodka. No restrictions. Coffee is not coffee))). Cleaning every day. The linen is changed if you ask. Clear. The 5 * hotel, of course, does not pull, but it also cost relatively on a budget. There is a public transport stop and shops nearby.

The hotel is 5 budget, 4 with a minus in reality, but the price and quality match suits.It is located in the village of Cholakly, near Side and the city of Manavgat. Anyone who goes to enjoy the sea and nature will like it. A wide sandy beach on the second line, shuttles go to the beach, it takes minutes to drive three, 7 minutes on foot along a beautiful road past apartments with beautiful gardens.The sea is gentle, the sunset is gentle.If you walk along the beach to the Manavgat River for 20 minutes, then sea turtles live under the bridge, their vacationers are fed boiled eggs and fruits. The hotel has 2 buildings, in the old one, where the reception has Internet, in the new one it does not catch. There are two swimming pools, a court, and animation. The food is monotonous, but there is enough of everything. There are only pastries from sweets, no lukuma, halva, nut. Watermelons, apples and sliced oranges and grapefruit are made from fruits. Delicious Turkish ice cream in the evening. The room is cleaned every day, water is left in bottles, and there is water everywhere on the beach. The hotel guide treats vacationers kindly. A Sberbank mir card may be useful, but it is not serviced in stores. Excursions are expensive, few people go. Nearby there is a minibus stop for 40 lira or 2 dollars and 12 minutes to go to Side, look at the ruins, 20 minutes to the city of Manavgat, where the Waikiki store is-there you can buy inexpensive clothes for the whole family and on Mon and Thu in the morning there is a large clothing and grocery market.If you have not been to Pamukkale or Kapadokkia, Istanbul, or Demre, Mira Kekovo before, try to get out and definitely take a sea (inexpensive) walk. The hotel staff are friendly, many understand Russian.
