Good day everyone! We had a rest at the Club Side from June 29 to July 7. There are like a million people in the hotel. Because of this, there is no place by the pool (occupied in the morning), the problem is to find a table for lunch and dinner for four people, as well as a shortage of dishes and cutlery. The hotel administration, the question is, why cram people literally off their feet and not provide all of the above?! In general, everything is not bad. Check-in, cleaning, food and everything else is quite on the level. Will I come back again? Maybe. But not at the peak of tourist activity.
Good day!)))
Before choosing this hotel, we read a lot of reviews, both positive and negative.. But we decided to look and check for ourselves.. Risk is a noble thing 😂
We booked, flew in, arrived at the hotel early in the morning, came to the reception, checked out, put our suitcases next to it and drove to inspect the territory, then walked to the sea (by the way, it takes only 7 minutes to walk, but carries a minibus during the day). We returned to the hotel, had breakfast and waited for check-in to the rooms. The rooms (we were in the old building) are quite normal, clean, towels, brushes, paste, shampoos, gel, everything was there.. The service is not bad, the staff is polite. The food is as good as we like, everything is included, take what you like)) But beer is of course byadaaaa 🙈I would certainly like better and tastier 😂👆 there is also no fish for beer and there are no other snacks for beer 🤷♂️🫣
The pool is normal, but I don't like the strongly chlorinated smell.. Although I understand that there are no options, otherwise any infection will survive! I flew to the sea and, accordingly, swam only in the sea. You can go to the pool in Russia at any time..
I liked the beach, it was very good for both children and adults (in places there were stones like slabs in the water near the shore)- everything else is positive!!!)))))
It was at the end of May 2024. The hotel was inexpensive compared to other public sector employees, so there were no special expectations. Everything was in accordance with the money paid, without frills, but quite acceptable. I didn't get the number very well, it was the "weakest link". I liked the rest more: the food is delicious, the sea is warm, the beach is sandy, the territory is nice. I just want to warn you that there is a steep descent and steps from the minibus stop to the beach. But I was quite coping with my sore knees.
I do not understand the rave reviews for this hotel, it definitely does not pull at 5*, maximum 3 *. No one talked to anyone at the hotel - no one liked him. The beach is 1 km away, and not as it is withered in their cards 250-600 m, buses do not travel often, so they are packed. The rooms are in terrible condition: mold, cockroaches, dirty floors, old shabby furniture, cleaning was begged for three days, toilet paper had to be taken from a public toilet. Beach towels are provided purely on schedule - is it 5*? Everything is also bad with food, the fish is disassembled quickly, the queue is large, there is not enough for everyone, only half-dead legs were given from chicken, there is also no meat (only soy), even salads are not enough for everyone, all the food is cold even for the opening of breakfast / lunch / dinner. Restaurants on site, of course, do not work. We left early, asked to pack a lunch box, came to the reception at 7 a.m., and of course they didn't give us anything with us. The animation is weak, one can say no word at all, once some "acrobats" arrived, who laughed more and gave each other a kick than they showed the show. Among the advantages: a normal sandy beach with good access to the sea. That's all, decide for yourself whether to go to 5*, which pull on a solid 2*, or go to a good 4*. I do not recommend it.
A very nice hotel. The food was better than in previous hotels. Two adult pools with slides. One without music., near the other there is always music. Generally for an amateur. And another pool for children. The beach is about 0.5 km away. You can get there by shuttle (free of charge). The beach is sandy. However, there are stone slabs. We need to check everything first. But when you find a place, it's a good visit. Lots of shallow water- convenient for children. A great restaurant on the beach. The choice is certainly less than in the main restaurant, but you will not stay hungry. But the view is awesome. In general, lunch on the beach is beyond praise. The only thing that was missing was a poorly equipped playground.
A very average hotel. There are many vacationers, mainly Russia, Poland, Germany, Czech Republic, Romania.
The food is below average
Animation sucks
The staff is generally not bad
The number of rooms is more or less tolerable
Good day, that's the end of our vacation. I would like to express my gratitude to all the employees of the hotel, and in particular - Mustafa, Mahren and Olesya - they quickly and clearly solved all the issues that arose.
I have already written earlier that by the opening of the new season, all previous nuances and misunderstandings were taken into account.
The hotel is cozy, modest, clean. To anyone who writes bad reviews, you clearly need to go to deluxe. There is no gilding, mirrors, glass and crystal - this is a budget five. For such a price - above all praise!!! On the Black Sea coast, such a service and a hotel will cost much more!!! So, people, if you don't have the opportunity to pay for deluxe hotels two or even three times more expensive, stop hailing this hotel. For such a price, everything is just amazing and wonderful!!! Yes, not enough new linen and towels, broken dishes in some places, but all these are little things that you should not pay attention to!
The staff is trying hard, the hotel is clean. Cleaning is carried out constantly, on the bar counters they let go as much as you ask. Coffee machines and tea stations are everywhere.
The food is varied and delicious, I am a fish lover, so everything is fine for me - red trout fish - in the form of steaks or portioned daily. There is a snack bar on site for lovers of pizza, burgers, fast food. It also has coffee time, donuts and sweets from 16 to 17.
The complete delight of the restaurant on the beach is the view of the endless blue sea!!!
There is more than enough in restaurants! Again, people create queues themselves, it's terrible, one takes ten and everyone starts typing in four hands! What for??? It's impossible to eat it!!! And then they are outraged that something was missing! You don't need to recruit that guy for yourself, and then everyone will be happy!!!
Another advantage of the hotel is the location, 20 minutes by minibus for $ 1, and you get to Antique Side, Manavgat, Novomoll.....
To summarize: for a budget price, this is an amazing hotel, we are happy with everything. Once again, a huge thank you to all the staff of the hotel
We had a vacation with children in August 2024 at this hotel. The feeling of relaxation is pleasant. Choosing a hotel, we understood that it was not luxury.The air-conditioned room is decent, water is brought every day, towels are changed on the beach, there is always a choice of food, the snack bar is open until 5 pm with very tasty donuts.After dinner, lunch and breakfast, the waiters change the tablecloths. All service personnel are involved.To the beach 7 minutes on foot,2 minutes by transport to the beach. The Internet is not working well, yes, but it was enough for us.
We had a rest at the hotel recently, just returned, from July 18 to 27, 2023. I liked the hotel , the staff is friendly , they speak excellent Russian at the reception , they will always help with all questions. Of course, the waiters and maids do not speak Russian, but there will be communication in English. The hotel is mainly occupied by Russians , Germans and Poles. The rooms are small but cozy, cleaned every day, towels are changed on demand (throw on the floor). The room also has air conditioning , a refrigerator ( there is cola , fanta and water on arrival) in the future , water is added every day . Our room was an attic, on the 4th floor , overlooking the pool. The hotel has 2 swimming pools ( at the main building and the new one), slides work. Meals are served all day breakfast, lunch , snack bar (by the pool ) they give hamburgers , Salads , donuts . Then dinner. There is a lot of food of all kinds and various , of course they do not give crabs , but you will definitely not stay hungry . There is also a Restaurant on the beach - you can have lunch + a Turkish woman bakes tortillas. From drinks - coffee from the machines ( you can drink ) carbonated drinks, juice drinks , vodka , gin , whiskey , beer , white , red , pink wine - it 's free . Complex cocktails are paid for . When we rested, it was hot - up to 44 degrees , it was 35 at night, by the time we left, the temperature dropped to 35 in the afternoon, it was much more comfortable. In general, I liked the rest, I rate it at a solid 4. I recommend it
A good hotel, we were on May holidays 2024, good food, helpful staff. The flight was overnight, we arrived at the hotel early, we were offered breakfast, after breakfast we were immediately given the keys, thank you very much. We took the Family room, at first they offered it on the top floor, the big minus is that the window does not open in the second room, they asked us to change it, they immediately changed it on the 1st floor. In this regard, I recommend taking two standards then, because all the Families are mainly located on the upper floors in the old building.
We stayed at this hotel from 15.07.-24.07.24. I liked everything, the mobile reception, they try their best. Olesya and Violetta speak Russian, the issues were solved with them) WELL DONE!!! It's not far to the sea, the beach is great. The food is good, varied, and for the first time in Turkey we tried mutton at the hotel. A lot of fish, including salmon for a couple of days. The Solid Four ****
We stayed at the hotel from October 24 to November 8. There were moments when I wanted to put 5 and moments when 2. In general, 4.The previous reviews that I read accurately describe everything. We were going on vacation, and not looking for flaws, so overall it's not bad. We were lucky with the weather, there was not a single rainy or cloudy day. There are many Russians, many children. Food, you can always choose for yourself. The main thing is the sun and the sea. We will go to this hotel only if the price is very low.
There is no hotel. I'm attaching a photo. On the last days of rest, the plaster fell down due to the fact that the air conditioner is incorrectly connected and condensate simply flows down the wall. If it wasn't for the great sea and nature, nothing would have saved the vacation. They asked to move out of the room because of the humidity-an important girl at the reception (I attach a photo) said that she could not, since there was no authority, and there was no owner, he was missing. The room is dirty, the furniture is worn out.
The guide is a crook, do not take tours - especially the green river, two waterfalls-a tour for the whole day, they will feed you cheaply (fries , pasta) and they will not give you water and drinks at all. They will demand $10 for 200 ml of water.
The hotel is good, but it does not pull at 5 * in any way. The territory is small, the food is monotonous, without frills. I want good fish and seafood, but they are not there. Wi-Fi is only available at the reception, there are no rooms. The only plus is the sandy beach. The entry into the sea is soft and smooth. We always went only to the top five - this hotel turned out to be the weakest. At the reception, Violetta is very responsive, kind, and will always help with advice. The weather is gorgeous as always (it was in early August 2024), the sea is warm.
Such a hotel, the service is terrible, the floors are wiped at best once every three days, so there is always sand in the room. The linen has never been changed in two weeks. The food is common for hotels of this level, you will not starve, but there is also something very tasty. The dining room cannot cope with a full landing, there is not enough ice cream for everyone, so there is a huge queue. The children took up an hour! Beer and wine are standard from the alcoholic, cocktails are the simplest - whiskey cola, wolf fanta. Of the advantages, migros is very close. Well, it's a great beach. The beach is good for small children - a very smooth descent. An adult needs to walk 15 meters to go up to his neck. The only thing is that if you want, we can do it in the shade, then you need to take a sunbed at 8 in the morning. We were tempted by a very cheap price, and hung out on the beach all day. So we got a hotel like this.
If you wish , you can get involved in the little things . In general , we were satisfied . We had a rest at the end of September . The air conditioners are working, but they were not useful to us since we flew in the velvet season, there is a TV in the room. There was enough food, sometimes it happened that the hot was already cold. I would like the assortment of fruits to be wider every day, only watermelons, grapefruits, oranges and apples. The alcohol was of good quality.
The sea and the beach are 5+, sunbeds are occupied in the morning. But it wasn 't a burden to us . The food is like in regular fours , the rooms are not bad either , but not for five stars. But we knew where we were going, so we liked it, it's close to Side and Manavgat by bus.There is a large bazaar nearby . There is a place to walk in the evening . The location is not bad in general. We didn't really understand the entertainment, but there was something)))
We had a rest in May, we liked everything with two children, the weather really let us down, it rained, it was cloudy but we swam. The disadvantage of this hotel is the beach bar, there is never anything but lemonade and stale beer. The food is normal, we were pleased with trout steaks, grilled meat. The territory is small but well maintained. The room is clean. The animation is unobtrusive. Evening shows are not interesting, it feels like the cheapest amateur activity. Overall, I liked it. Price-quality for 4 in 204,000 met from Moscow.
I didn't like almost everything. Disgusting level, pulls on 3+. Of the advantages, a great sandy and clean beach (the sea in October was gorgeous). A comfortable swimming pool (slides are included for a couple of hours a day, at the request of the admin.stratii). The rooms are made of drywall , the neighbors can be heard until the morning . We cleaned the caddy day perfectly. Further cons , everything is done in the hotel on the spot . Omnivorous people will be comfortable here.
Disgusting quality of raw meat, soy food (cutlets, meatballs, burgers, etc., "rusty" fish. For the first time in my life , I decided that I would be a vegetarian here . I ate salads , greens, rice , potatoes . I 'm sick of eating already on the third day .The food is the same every day, hot and cold drinks made of powder. Special attention should be paid to the bar .... You can get drunk if you want, strong raw materials are diluted (there will be no poisoning ). Beer is in tuborg kegs , there is no carbonated substance there . Next to them are gas cylinders with the inscription "tank gas tuborg". In a word, it's not beer. Also, bartenders with a dissatisfied look collect dirty glasses, try not to wash them too much and re-pour the drink (you will notice lipstick and stains). Animation is at zero. The shuttle runs frequently. It 's still a steep mountain to climb from the sea . The children will like it , but I suffered )
This is 3+.. Not at all 5. Categorically we will not go anymore. There are not enough plates.. A lot of dirty ones.. There are no cocktails. I didn't like the attitude towards Russians very much. A very nice guy at the reception desk.. Smiling, in my opinion, Akhmet will always help. there is a Cossack woman at the reception desk... Very nasty.. He doesn 't like Russians . the rooms are different... So she even refused to change it. I had to communicate with my superiors. The sea is good. The beach too!!!
It 's just a terrible hotel . It draws 2 stars . Disgusting food . There is nothing but chicken , very rarely there was river trout , which is not possible to eat . Rotten fruits ., spread out to hotel guests .Moreover , apples and oranges are made from fruits . And this is in the month of August .It 's very dirty . The room cleaning is terrible. As the hair lay in the bathroom , so it lay before my departure . We stayed at the hotel for 12 days . There 's mold in the pool . The staff is rude , they smile only at Poles and Germans . Hearing the Russian speech , their faces immediately contort . The ticket cost 273,000 , one adult and two children . I wouldn't even go back there for nothing.
I stayed at this hotel at the end of April for the May holidays. The hotel is not bad, I will put 4 stars. The food was monotonous, there were few fruits. Meat and soups every day. I and the children can find something to eat. The staff is good, they speak Russian. The playground is small but comfortable. You can walk to the sea or take a bus. The bus runs every 10-15 minutes. I am happy with my vacation, the hotel is worth the money. The only drawback was that they gave ice cream in the evening, according to the schedule at 20.00. Nevertheless, it is necessary to give it earlier in time.
We rested at the hotel from 8.09 to 17.09.Nice hotel.If you do not find fault with the little things, the rest was a success by 5 points.The only drawback is because we were with a child of 3 years old, this is his nutrition.There is not enough children's table, basic porridge and non-peppery dishes.Otherwise, everything is fine, a children's pool with a slide, animation.In general, I can safely recommend the hotel.And as people wrote earlier (thanks for the advice)choose a new building-it's really quieter there
It's not bad at all. Walking distance to the sea is 5 minutes. For those who do not like hiking, transport is available every 5 minutes. There was enough food. It was necessary to stand up for the yummy. That's what was enough and did not have to stand-so it's alcohol. There is a minus. I didn't like the room at all. Window to window to another hotel. Music until midnight. It felt like there was a music venue in the room.
We liked the hotel as a whole..price=quality!)It was enough:food is available almost all day, in addition to the main restaurant, there is also a cafe by the pool (pizza,donuts, cookies,fruits, vegetables,fries, drinks)cafe by the beach-several types of meat,side dishes,fruits and drinks including alcohol-beer is delicious) there are enough sun beds on the beach but it's a little cramped-a lot of people, the sea is super!!!!)warm and clean, fine clean sand!!)))There is a bus from the beach to the hotel every 10 minutes..there are 2 swimming pools, both with slides, the rooms are cleaned every day-clean..we were satisfied with the rest..!)👍
We rested at this hotel from October 3 to 13, I put 4 with a minus, the hotel disappointed, I only liked the sea and the beach, I saw a queue for fish and meat in the dining room for the first time, there is no service, I do not recommend it!
We had a rest in June 2023. The hotel is a budget five, excellent value for money, we liked everything very much in general.
Number:
- after reading the reviews about the hotel in advance, I found out that it has old and new buildings. Therefore, when buying the tour, I indicated in my wishes that I would like a room in a new building with two single beds. But I didn't really hope for anything, because we bought a burning tour a week before departure. What was my surprise when, upon check-in, I realized that we were given a room in a new building, and not a double, but a triple. They also kindly escorted him to him (I had to give the guy a 20 lira tip)). Many thanks to the staff of the hotel for taking into account the wish! The room in the new building is really amazing - spacious, with modern renovation and floor-to-ceiling Windows. But I know that not everyone was so lucky, and people in the old building complained.
- The room is very clean, the bed linen is spotless, the mattresses and pillows are comfortable.
- On the very first day, we realized that our shower was clogged, the water was up to our ankles and did not drain. We called a technician, and on the third attempt he came and fixed everything.
- After a couple of days, the door to the room began to close tightly, perhaps it flew off its hinges. They also came and fixed it quickly.
- The lamp didn't work on the balcony, but we didn't really need the light there, so we didn't call anyone. But if they had, I'm sure they would have fixed it too.
- Some vacationers said that if you leave a 20 lira tip to the maid, she will wind swans out of towels)) we left it, it didn't twist for us) but the cleaning quality is good.
- The air conditioner is working, starting from the 20th of June it was very saving, because the heat was 30-33 degrees.
- We are very satisfied with the service of the hotel!
Food:
- There is a main restaurant, a snack bar, a pool bar and a beach bar.
- Beer flows like a river (not bad), local white and red wine (tastes like alcohol, I didn't like it), whiskey and so on have not tried stronger alcohol. Cocktails are paid, 5 euros.
- there is a huge variety of food and everything is very tasty! They had never been poisoned during their vacation and there were no digestive problems. There is grilled meat every day, the fish is white. There are a lot of desserts, not all are delicious, but many are not bad.
- For lunch, you can stay at the beach bar, there is much less choice than in the main restaurant, but nevertheless, there is meat, side dishes, salads, freshly baked tortillas with stuffing and watermelon.
- The waiters are very attentive and promptly clean the dishes, change the tablecloths, etc.
- The only disadvantage for us in the main restaurant is that smoking is allowed on the terrace, and it is usually impossible for non-smokers to eat outside - smokers smoke shamelessly right in the face, next to children, etc. Sometimes I had to transfer inside the building, but it was very stuffy there, there were no air conditioners.
- a la carte restaurants are closed. They say that there is no demand for them, and they have been closed
-
Beach:
- walk for about 10 minutes (there are two small ascents, it's a bit difficult in the heat). Every 10-15 (sometimes 20) minutes from 8 to 17:00 there is a shuttle (minibus), ride it for a couple of minutes. The driver turns on the air conditioner in it according to his mood, apparently, because sometimes it is on, sometimes it is not, and it is very hard to drive without an air conditioner in the heat.
- There are a lot of sun beds, you can find a free one at any time, garbage is regularly cleaned on the beach and the sun beds are cleaned of sand
- There are sun beds both in the sun and in the shade under the canopy
- Specifically, there are large stones on the beach of the hotel at the entrance to the sea, but if you walk 50 m to the right or left, then the entrance is soft without stones
- There are no algae, even at a depth of sand. The entrance is flat. Ideal for children
- There is beach volleyball at 11 and 16:00
- Sunsets are not visible on the beach - the sun sets in the other direction (the same with sunrises)
- Beach towels can be taken from 8:30 and must be returned before 19:00. That is, we could not change them even once during the vacation, because we went to the beach at 7:30 immediately after breakfast.
Animation:
- we didn't go anywhere, because we spent all the time on the beach, but on the information board I saw that there is Zumba, aqua aerobics, water polo, etc. In the evening, a mini disco and a "show" in the amphitheater. The show is a little weak, we got on some boring quizzes a couple of times. Plus, the amphitheater itself looks strange, isolated from the bar and tables, unlike neighboring hotels, even if the Diamond hotel was visible from our window - in it the stage is located right in front of the tables, there is also a dance floor nearby, i.e. you can sit drinking, watch the performance and dance right next to it. By the way, Diamond often had live music, we could hear it perfectly from the room) I really liked this atmosphere with live performance, plus for my taste, the music there was better than ours) well, these are small things, if you really find fault.
Infrastructure:
- for me, the huge disadvantage of this village, rather than a hotel, is that it is an isolated tourist village, there is no embankment, shops especially, the city center as such. There are only hotels in the village, there is nowhere to go. If you need movement, shops, pharmacies, bazaars are normal, take a walk and see the city, then this is only in Side/Manavgat to go by local minibus (travel time 20-40 minutes, cost 18 lira). Therefore, I would say that the hotel is suitable for families with children who do not plan to leave the hotel grounds. Unfortunately, it was the city life that I lacked, and at least the city embankment, along which I could take a walk in the evening.
PS As already written in previous reviews, if you go left along the beach towards Side, walk to the stone cape next to the Seher Hotels (Sea shell resort & spa) hotel, climb the bridge, you can see huge turtles. They eat boiled eggs and cheese. We went at 8 a.m., but they say they hang out there in the evening too. It takes about 30 minutes to walk to this place along the beach.
The food is high-quality, varied, there are no queues, there is a cafe on the beach. It's a long way from the sea, 10 minutes on foot, including uphill, but there is a shuttle service from 8 to 17.
We rested from 24.05 to 05/31/2024. Two adults and 4 children (2 families).
An amateur hotel. And it doesn't pull at 5* at all.
Reception. Friendly administrators. We arrived at 20.00. They immediately put bracelets on us and invited us to dinner. They settled in after. We answered all the questions. When we were there, some people gave us a compliment in the form of valuable pieces of paper to give us a better room. We don't know what we actually received. But there is absolutely no logic with the distribution of numbers. This is discussed below in the description of the rooms.
Rooms. I had two children with me: 17l and 2g. We were given a large room in the far building. The room has a large bed, a bunk bed, an armchair and a table. Additionally, a playpen bed for the baby was brought on request. And with all the variety, there was a lot of free space, there was a place to turn around. There is a balcony, a large one, 2 chairs and a table. Large built-in wardrobe with 2 compartments. There is a lot of space for things. Designed for a large family. There was carpet in the room, but, as many write, there was no smell. The furniture is in good condition. Mini-bar for free: cola and Fanta for 1 liter at check-in, water daily (4 bottles of 0.5 liters were brought to us). The trash can is only in the bathroom, not very convenient. The bathroom has a shower room with glass partitions. The shower head is only under the ceiling, the faucet did not work. Washing a small child is of course very, very inconvenient. A very thin trickle of water was flowing from the faucet in the sink. We were given 2 sets of towels + 1 foot towel. An additional kit for the baby was provided upon request. Well, this is certainly not about 5*... There are no slippers or bathrobes. Shampoos and dry soap were brought. There were always 3 rolls of toilet paper. The bed linen is clean. Instead of blankets, there are hard covers. 2 blankets were in the closet. The lighting is dim, as in the entire hotel. The air conditioner was not turned on. View of the wall of the neighboring hotel. Until 23.00, you can hear music from there even with the balcony door closed.
The second room was given in the main building in the attic. No balcony, a view through the skylight to the sky. The room is small. There is a double and a single bed. 1 adult and two children spent the night in it: 14L and 8L . We took turns sleeping with mom))) Everything else is the same, except there was no carpet and no balcony. Things were dried, one might say, on the window. Once it rained in the morning, of course, they did not dry out, they got even more wet. In general, the room is so-so. It'll do for two. But not for the family.
Cleaning. It is daily. The beds were made. The linen seems to have been changed 1 time in a week. Towels too. The rest of the time they were just folded, supposedly clean ones were brought. But at the same time they were wet, as I took a shower in the morning. They have never been vacuumed. The baby's socks turned black in the evening. The shower room has never been washed. The floor at the entrance to the room was also washed a couple of times at most. The sink was being cleaned. The glasses were not washed. The garbage was taken out only from the bucket in the bathroom. We left the bottle under the table in the room on the 1st day of arrival. She stood there untouched. Another proof that they don't vacuum. The ashtray from the balcony was cleaned by dumping all the contents into the toilet. Was it possible?! 😅 In general, again, not 5*.
The territory of the hotel is not large. 2 pools with slides, with areas for children. 2 bars. The main restaurant. Sports and children's playgrounds. The playground is open. So you can use it only with the setting of the bright sun. It is convenient to move around the territory with a stroller everywhere: there are ramps and elevators.
There are no lifeguards at the pools. Get ready to take care of your child on your own, especially when the slides are turned off. They just crowd up them. Fortunately, without incident. But still. There is no animation during the day. Two guys and a girl, allegedly animators, in branded T-shirts, go out to the main pool in the morning, afternoon and evening. They dance a dance that supposedly opens the day, invites you to lunch and closes the day. And then they disappear. We never found out where these animators are the rest of the time. There is only music playing by the pool all day. Water polo was held a couple of times. And everything. There is no music at the second pool and it is always free there. You can take a sunbed at any time. But there is no Internet. He catches well at the main pool. Maybe that's also why there are always a lot of people there.
In the evenings, sometimes there are mini-discos, karaoke, and some kind of contests. Once there were visiting artists. Events are held in the amphitheater, which is hidden behind the pool bar, with a very inconspicuous entrance. But, again, the feeling remains that there is no animation at all.
There is a regular shuttle service from the hotel to the beach and back. Every 15-20 minutes.
The beach is a 10-15-minute walk away, with a 2-minute shuttle service. A staircase leads down to the beach on one side, a ramp on the other. If you go down the ramp with a stroller, then you need to carry it further to the left, because this descent to the beach of another hotel, and there are no wooden paths. If you lower the stroller down the stairs, you immediately get to your beach. There are tracks on it, but only in the center. Here, of course, it is not thought out. There is a canopy on the beach. The entrance to the sea is made of large stones. It is necessary to move a little to the side to the neighboring beaches. The sand is good, it is leveled every day. There is a restaurant upstairs. You can have lunch there. They bake tortillas. The lunches are not bad, there are hot dishes, fruits and vegetables. The view is gorgeous on the sea. Drinks both in the restaurant and on the beach itself.
Food. Standard for Turkey. Almost everything is spicy. There are few soups. Lots of sweets. For dinner, both meat and fish. Trout steaks were fried once. The rest of the days are the usual cheap fish. The tortillas are delicious, the cookies are in the snack bar. There have always been watermelons in large quantities. For very young children, mashed potatoes, rice, boiled eggs, omelette, vegetables and fruits. In the morning, something like porridge: rice or Oatmeal in hot milk. I caught cereals, but the child refused to eat. Cottage cheese is very sour.
Drinks are both cold and hot everywhere on the hotel grounds, on the beach. There is water everywhere too.
There are small shops outside the hotel, you can walk to the market, the supermarket. No gorgeous views, of course. It takes about 20 minutes to walk to the promenade. The embankment is standard. There is nothing to do there in the evening: no lighting, no music, no cafes, restaurants, or shops.
From the hotel you can take a bus to the center of Side, it's more fun there. To Manavgat: there are many shops in the center; you can go to the park and see the waterfall (by the way, the park has the most delicious real goat's milk ice cream).
I do not recommend going to malls. There are no stores that have left Russia there. There is no choice either. You're wasting your time. It is better to walk through the center of Manavgat, you can still find something there.
In general, the hotel is very, very budget. Everywhere you look, something is missing. They don't pull 5* in any way, only 3*. Personally, I decided to myself that I would not come here anymore, no matter how it turned out.
People who write positive reviews, either you have no conscience, or you simply have nothing to compare it with. This is without a doubt the worst "hotel" in about 20 trips to Turkey. I can't call it a hotel. Flophouse, shelter, social housing. There is nothing to eat, the audibility is as if there are no walls. The safe is paid. The second card from the room is secured (funny). Dirt, cracks, carpet on the floors is puked, I'm sorry.
Don't buy a ticket here for anything
We rested at this hotel from 07/25/31.07.Starting from the reception, we can't stand the stuffiness, the air conditioners are not turned on specifically so that people don't gather, because you only get fi there.The rooms are cleaned so-so, 5 * does not pull. Food, no one will remain hungry, but there is little with fruits, except apples, oranges and not sweet watermelons, there is nothing. The staff loves foreigners, is very polite to them, and they treat Russians rudely, pretending that they do not understand. The best thing is the sea, the beach and the sun!I wish you all a good rest!!!
We stayed at this hotel from August 18 to August 28, 2023 with a family (2 adults+2 children aged 12 and 15)
We enjoyed our vacation! yes, the hotel has many minor drawbacks, not everything is super-clean, etc. ... but this is definitely a solid four, no less!
I +- agree with everyone who gives 4 stars, so I won't repeat myself, but rather tell you about the moments that few people write about:
1. Many rooms do not have a main light. Yes, you heard right! there is no chandelier ... only small lanterns + backlight on the mirror ... just be prepared for the fact that it is not very convenient…
2. there is no air conditioning in the lobby + classic, Wi-Fi works at the speed of a turtle)) the heaviest workload was at 20-22 pm, we came after, it was already not so hot, and there were few people = it was possible to sit on the Internet normally
3. Elevators. there are a lot of them, but they are all incredibly slow... so if you need to go down-go up one floor, it's better to walk. + do not pay attention to the inscription "service elevator", everyone rides them and no one forbids)
4. Swimming pool. I have vacationed in Turkey many times, but this is the first hotel in which you could swim in the pool almost at any time ... every day even after dinner, and even at night there were 3-4 people who swim, they all see it and again no one forbids)
5. Animation. weakly ... often in the pool at the old building around 11-12 at first, a cool cheerful girl conducts aqua aerobics (really cool! be sure to go!), and then the main presenter comes and holds some kind of competition ... and firstly, the contests are monotonous, secondly, children are not allowed to participate ... there is practically no animation for children at all ... very boring in this regard ... the evening program is also about nothing…
6. Working hours of the slides: from 10:00 to 12:00 and from 15:00 to 17:00
7. Sun beds: the new building always has plenty of them by the pool, the old one needs to be occupied until 10 a.m., but at least 1 sunbed is always magically free! there are definitely enough sun beds by the sea for everyone and always!
8. the river with turtles: we advise you to go! walk along the beach for 30-40 minutes, then you need to walk to the bridge and further along the river (the river is long, so you can go as long as you have enough), DEFINITELY!!! take your sneakers with you to see the turtles, you need to get closer to the river, and there are all sorts of thorns and so on ... well, the road itself is hot from the sun, it hurts to walk. and one more thing: the turtles come out around 16:00, but you still need to wait for them, and be prepared that the turtles will not swim out completely to you for a long time, no, they literally show up for a short time and dive again ... but it's worth it)) they are really huge)
9. staff: as always, there are cool, positive, responsive employees, and there are those who communicate and do everything "to fuck off", at the speed of a turtle, greedy, "face with a brick" and so on. but most belong to the first group and it pleases! thanks to the bartenders, waiters, cleaners, animators, chefs, the guys from the reception! all real hard workers are doing everything for the benefit of the hotel!!!
That's it! I recommend the hotel! Don't be afraid, go ahead! the main thing is to have a positive attitude!
The hotel is very professional. They do a hammam and massage. We really liked it.
The massage therapists are all professional and neat. Everything is purely cultural everywhere. And it is very pleasant to communicate.
We rested from 28.05 to 09.06. room 3305. I liked the hotel as a whole, but the cleaning of the room left a very negative impression: I have not seen worse than once: plumbing is not cleaned, the foot towel has not been changed once in 12 days, although it lay dirty and wet on the floor, as a result, I just washed myself, bed linen was not changed in 12 days. The floors in the room were washed with a dirty rag, once after washing there was a smell of sewage, I had to ventilate the room for a long time. On the last day, some strange huge insect was found in the room (like a cockroach, but many times larger), which was running around the floor and furniture, my daughter had a real tantrum, as a result, we spent the last hours at the reception to avoid meeting this creature, as they promised to send someone to check only the next day. In general, despite all the advantages: the sea, food and territory, we will no longer go to the hotel, cleaning and the presence of insects are also an important component of recreation.
I liked the hotel, it is located on the second line, a minibus runs every 10 minutes, the room is clean, everything works, there is shampoo and soap, they do not save alcohol in bars, they feed well.
I had a rest in early October of the 24th year. The hotel is in need of renovation and upon arrival with his wife, they settled into a terrible tiny kennel with fungus, air conditioning over the ear and a toilet on which it is impossible to accommodate.
Why would they do that and give such a doghouse to a foreigner is a big question. In the morning, they persistently offered to exchange the room and successfully settled into a classic room with a double and a single bed, it was like in the photo, which completely satisfied.
Excellent staff, cleanliness, an amateur kitchen, a lot of people. Everyone understands Russian. Clean swimming pools. There is a transfer to the sea, but there is one small bus that runs every 20 minutes, but it is not far on foot.
We had a rest with a child from 6.09 to 12.09, the hotel is great! The rooms were cleaned daily, the food is always fresh, animations, cleanliness, 7 minutes walk to the sea, but on the contrary it is good to walk! Big greetings to all the hotel staff from Kristina and Misha) we will definitely come back! A good five, everything you need to relax! Very tasty and very soulful!
We were here from 05/12/2024 to 05/21.
Overall, we were very satisfied with this hotel. At the reception, we paid 20 additional units for a nicer room, and we never regretted it. The room is in a new building, large in itself with excellent plumbing and comfortable beds. Cleaning almost every day. Change of linen once a week. The food is relatively satisfied. Grill every night. Lots of fruits. A huge plus of the hotel is the terrace by the beach with a very beautiful view. Be careful: there are stone slabs on the beach, but if you walk a little to the right, they will no longer be there. Yes, of course it's more like 4 stars than 5, but we liked it. The staff is very polite, no one is rude. A general recommendation to everyone is not to purchase a charter flight from travel agencies, there may be unpleasant surprises. If you are interested, write in the comments, I will tell you in more detail.

October 28
Overall, I had a good rest.I wasn't hungry, there are concerts in the amphitheater in the evenings.4 bars with tea,coffee,beer, wine and cocktails.Two dining rooms: in the hotel and on the beach.There are 2 swimming pools and water slides on the territory.The rooms all seem to have balconies.The linen and towels have not been left on the floor yet, they have not been changed.And even more so the bedclothes. Despite the multinational nature, there were Germans, Poles, Bulgarians, Swedes, Turks-the atmosphere was friendly.
I was vacationing with my child from 05/26/24 - 06/24.24 at this hotel. I liked everything. Starting from check-in at the hotel: they immediately sent us to the dining room, as we arrived at 13:45, and lunch before 14. Then we continued the registration at the hotel. The room is budget, but everything is clean. Cleaning every day.
The staff, starting from the dining room and ending with the beach, is very attentive, everything is cleaned immediately. Hardworking bees)
The beach is sandy and clean. For fans of beach volleyball. They play every day
The host of the evening program is JANER ,
animators OSCAR , OSMAN just🔥🔥🔥 lighters❣️❣️❣️big smarties👍👍👍
And of course massage, since there is a lot of time, I recommend OSMAN. From the top of my head to my heels, an hour of relaxation. Just golden hands👍
Will I go again? yes
Thanks for the rest, it was a success❣️
The hotel is terribly dirty. The food is poor, the room has not been cleaned in 10 days, only the towel was changed once.The waiters are brazen and ignore any request..If you want coffee early in the morning, then the coffee machine is turned off and the sugar is removed overnight.
80% of the hotel are Germans and Poles (sluts) .
The territory is small (or rather, it does not exist at all).The coast is good and the sea is gorgeous, but the deck chairs are the most homeless, dirty and old..
Nice hotel, everything is clean. We had a family vacation at the end of October. The only downside is that the ice cream was served at 8 p.m. As it is, everything is fine☺️
The hotel is good.but the descent to the sea is too steep. On the beach, in order to go up to the bar, you need to walk up the hill in the sun. It's very inconvenient. Otherwise, everything is fine. Food, staff, room
The hotel positions itself as a five-star hotel, but this is far from the case. Five stars can only be given to the sea. The hotel barely pulls in a three. For example, there is no toothpaste in the rooms. To put a duvet cover on a blanket, you need to ask, initially this is not provided. Wi-Fi only works poorly in the lobby. The staff is really nice and polite.
A good place for a family holiday, the sea is beautiful, sand. You can have a snack at the hotel at any time, several pools and slides, children are not bored. Many Germans, Poles and Russians have a rest. There are many shops nearby, you can drive to the center of Side (9 km), see the sights.
On the good side: The food is normal, the choice is good. The beach is clean, but it's a little far. The shuttle runs regularly. The pool is clean, there are enough sun loungers. The territory is clean and well maintained.
The hotel is "tired" and dirty. Room service is "0"! Cleaning is random, 2 times in 11 days (4th and 5th day). The pastel was changed 1 time. Animation on "3".
In general, you can designate a 4* hotel, no more.
A small budget five , the food was delicious , a lot . Poor sound insulation , there was a room located near the dance floor , but despite the songs , we and the children fell asleep normally . The beach is clean
Good 3. It is better not to travel with children, especially with toddlers. On the one hand, Turks drive and buzz at night , too, on the other, drunken Russians .The Germans .Poles, well, in general, the guests in the lobby are screaming .conversations can be heard .the gap between the door and the floor is more than 1 cm. the child is twitching from the noise.and if you swell up cleanly and pass out normally !haha TV 00
