The food is tasteless, the desserts turned out the same for 5 days, the pool animations are very noisy, the walk to the beach is 10 minutes, there is also a hotel service, but there are very big cliffs in the sea in places
We had a rest from September 16 to October 1, 2022. We liked EVERYTHING!!! They didn't pay attention to small details. The territory, service, food, animation-everything is on the level.I would like to draw your attention to the UYAR pharmacy, which is located opposite the hotel across the street. Ali works there (a godsend for Russian speakers).We called him Dr. Ali. Literate, polite and sooooo charming. I recommend contacting him, especially since all medicines are three times cheaper.
We are currently staying at this hotel. The food is excellent, the animation is super cool, I really liked everything. The hotel is gorgeous. The territory is large and very beautiful. There is a bus to the sea every 5 minutes, although you can walk without problems. Thanks a lot to the staff for their hard work. Thanks for the rest.
Good afternoon! We are currently vacationing at this hotel. I'll start with the negative.At the moment, this hotel does NOT have a beach. If you come to the beach, which previously belonged to this hotel, you will be kicked out, even with children. No one wants to solve this problem. And entering the sea, or if you just want to swim, you will come across huge stones that are everywhere there. Well, the rest is GREAT! I was satisfied with everything-food, attitude, rooms, entertainment. I was with 3 children, they really liked it!
The hotel itself is not bad - rooms and room service. The staff in the restaurant is not very active, even glasses and wine glasses are not worth it - water is served in bottles, they communicate with each other, customers casually. There is no children's table, soup and Asha are the same every day, there are almost no seasonal fruits, there is also no beach, you can not swim because of the stones. The animation is wonderful, the staff is friendly, does not speak Russian. Pools, slides, everything is fine. The hotel is urban. Sleeping is noisy .
We rested from August 19 to 24, 2022, now in this hotel. We definitely won't go a second time!!!! The sea is far away, but the bus runs until 18:00. At sea there is only beer and cola, fanta and even ice cream from 12:00 to 18:00. There is nothing to have a snack on the beach. You can not take food from the hotel with you, it is not comfortable to go back there. There were a lot of people in the hotel at the time of our arrival, respectively, there are no places on the sun beds, people hang towels and go somewhere, you look at 30% of just made up sun beds without vacationers, it was very annoying when there really was nowhere to lie down. The room was cleaned 2 times in 5 days and the second time they searched for the cleaner themselves. The food is normal, nothing supernatural. Breakfast and lunch for 4-. Dinner is normal. There is a bazaar on the street near the hotel, but the price and quality do not match. It turned out for 5 nights 2 adults +1, only accommodation 85,000 is very expensive for this hotel. It is not worth more than 40 tr. Conclusion: you can drive at a price no more than 8000 per day. Personally, I would not have gone for this money anymore. The hotel itself is not new. The number of rooms 50% goes to the highway. I had a desire to put 3*, but I give one star to the staff at the lobby bar.
A very good hotel, all the animators are very good, many of them speak Russian and other languages, Razolinda, the yoga coach is very positive and good, Alina and Ruslan also really liked it!!!!❤very tasty food and good rooms, we would like to come back again, but it's a little expensive (everything is super!!!❤❤❤❤
Well, the first thing I want to note is that if you want to relax, then you can do it in this hotel! The animation is just great, kids can stay in the children's room, where animators ( there are Russian girls) are engaged with them, draw aquagrimm, paint T-shirts , play , go to the children's show , it's lovely , for adult children there is a cool water park and adult fun animation , there is a game club with gaming machines and even a computer room , bowling, etc. !
Good service , rooms are cleaned clean , everything is new , the reception is friendly and without any extortion and extortion, if there are available rooms , they upgrade !
If it's your birthday, they decorate the room beautifully and give you champagne with goodies!
There is a large assortment of food . Here husbands will get bored , volleyball , water polo and contests) nice spa!
There is a beautiful embankment nearby, along which you can run with special pleasure!
There is a minus, but it is not big, this hotel is on the second line, so it takes 7 minutes to walk to the beach, but in large hotels, I also walked to the beach about the same) but for the very lazy, the shuttle runs every 15 minutes for free!
And the sea is good , clean ( literally 5 hotels to the right and there is a sea with algae , and then the sewer river is smelly, and here it is clean , there is a bar by the sea where you can eat and order drinks for free , but be careful , the sea is sandy , but there are a lot of stones in it , you can at the entrance or when you swim , you hurt your legs , but the sea is transparent , so you can see them !
We are currently vacationing with children at this hotel. Before the pandemic, we rested at the crystal de luxe in Kemer, it's very cool there, in general, all the crystals speak super, so we decided to visit Side as well. Everything is great, the hotel is worth the money, we arrived at 10 a.m., we were immediately provided with a room, they clean every day, the food is excellent, the animations are excellent, the attitude of the staff is respectful, but it seems to me more focused on Europeans, the staff almost does not speak Russian, but not freely I compare with de lux in Kemer, and I would go back there, but not in Side, now I'll explain why. Crystal Sunset is a very large hotel, I get tired of the size, the sea with stones, it is not comfortable and the water is not transparent, and there is no snack at the beach bar, it was so that I did not want to leave, but I want to eat, I have to return to the hotel, and it is not so close, but in Kemer the sea it was closer, but there was a full-fledged snack, you could lie on the beach all day. I don't regret a bit that we came, the weather today is October 10th, it's hot.
The food is mediocre, the hotel as a whole is excellent, huge rooms with magnificent views of the sea and sunset.
The beach is terrible, at the end of April there were solid rocks and algae
Very nice hotel! Ideal for children: water park, ice cream and so on. Small and beautiful. Rent a car. The food is varied and varies: meat, fish, drinks. It's a little far from the sea, 500 meters, but there is a bus running all the time. I recommend it for children.
We had a family vacation with our son for 7 years. Everyone really liked the hotel. Food, animation, service at the level. A chic water park: a child spends all day on the slides. We will definitely come back!!!!
Special thanks to the animators
The hotel is just super, we had a rest in early September 2021, the sea is clean, warm, there is a bus every 10 minutes to walk about 400 meters to the sea, the pools are large, the slides are steep, the service is super, the food is very tasty and varied every evening some kind of cuisine or European, Japanese, Chinese ,
Turkish and the like.
We rested from October 5 to October 12, the hotel is beautiful, at first it was a little upset that the territory is not very large, in comparison we were in hotels where it is (4 times more), but then we got used to it. Of the advantages, there are good animations, the room is cleaned daily, we got a room with a great view of the pool. Of the cons, the food is not very diverse, for 8 days they gave crayfish and sushi once, all the other days are the same. There is real meat, but soy is in most dishes, however, as everywhere in Turkey. I was a little upset that the tour operator promised the first line, but in fact the minibus goes for 3 minutes. The water is clean. There are several interesting bars: a detox bar (cocktails made from carrots or spinach, for example), a cool Irish bar with its own atomosphere (beer and football). Dinner is before half past 10, there are no night snacks. There is one free visit in Alaska. Everything is delicious. The lobby is open around the clock, alcohol is poured as much as you can show, no problem! I liked that in the shops of the hotel and in the bazaars they do not bother and do not impose purchases. A lady sits in the spa, looks like an Uzbek, speaks excellent Russian, but if you have not ordered a paid service, she behaves quite unfriendly. She made us count down 30 minutes and record the time of our entrance to the spa for her, although no one had done this before us, and they were not going to sit for so long. She said that you have nothing to do in the hammam, this is a place for procedures! 🤷♀️Unlucky with the representative of the tour operator (Kilit global), a girl met who did not really tell anything about the hotel, said to find out everything at the gastration. What's the point of it then? I did not impose my services. There are very few Russian-speaking staff. The hotel is not bad, the rooms are not the newest, but everything is clean. In general, everything is not bad, but it has been better. But that's just my opinion! I would rather recommend it than not!
I had a rest at the Crystal Sunset luxury hotel at the end of October 2021. The weather turned out to be wonderful, warm. This is the second time I've been to this hotel. The hotel is great, the food is delicious, the sea is a 5-minute walk away, but there is a shuttle every 5-10 minutes. Animation is on top, very diverse daytime animations and night shows, I advise you to play darts in the company of the host Mustafa, it will be a lot of fun, this is a real show!👍
Great hotel, great staff, great animators. Thank you so much for the rest!!!!! Everyone is very attentive, everything is very clean, the kitchen is varied, the whole family is delighted with the rest!!! Thanks

A good hotel, good price/quality ratio, very friendly staff (I haven't seen this for a long time), but few people speak Russian), English without problems. The restaurants are well fed, they settled in quickly, in 15 minutes, although they arrived in the morning. The rooms are large, clean, freshly renovated. A large water park, the children are delighted.There is a minibus to the sea, you can walk in 10 minutes, although the public road is full of garbage, with bird activity and places with the smell of sewage, but you can walk, it is not critical, it is safe, cars drive extremely rarely. There are large stones in the sea, the first time you need to enter carefully, then you remember the location and there are no problems, and the sea is transparent, the bottom is clearly visible, the entrance to the sea is gentle, an excellent clean beach. There are always free deck chairs. If someone takes a place with towels and leaves for a long time, the employee takes the towels, frees the chaise longue. There is no pier. Alcohol in bars is only local, for a strong amateur))))). The rooms are cleaned for three, even with tips, clean, but very sloppy (they can forget clean towels on the floor, and repeatedly), if they made the bed themselves, they will not touch it anymore)))).But in general it is good, inexpensive (so I don't find fault)A family-friendly hotel. Only good memories. Photos from the sea and Yandex bans the road are not added...
I liked the hotel. The room is clean, beautiful and cleaned regularly. Lots of slides! We were met and settled quickly. Food for 5 . The animation is super, it doesn't let you get bored. The contests are great. Concerts every day.
We had a rest in July 2019 at the CRYSTAL SUNSET LUXURY RESORT and spa 5* Turkey, a cool hotel, a variety of very good cuisine, the sea is excellent, there were enough sun beds for everyone. Everything was great! A very beautiful hotel, the rooms are comfortable! The staff is attentive. The only disadvantage for the lazy is that it takes 7 minutes to walk to the sea, for us it was not stressful, because even the road itself passed through a forest alley, and we did not use the free transfer from the hotel to the beach and from the beach at all... We just didn't need him.. The hotel is huge and well maintained!
So, we bought a tour from Coral. The flight was delayed, we arrived late. The rooms were given good ones on the second floor overlooking the pool. I was with my son and my friend was also with a child. We liked the view from the room so much that I forgot that I would have to listen to animation and music all day. So if you like silence, then ask for a room with a garden view.
The rooms themselves are spacious and pleasant. But once they didn't clean our place, we had to go to the reception. It's not clear why, there are hair conditioners, but no shampoos! Very strange for five stars. There are also no bathrobes. This is a minus.
We were late for dinner, but we were kindly fed. This was perhaps the most important plus for the staff.
In the morning we went to the beach. It didn't bother me that I had to walk to it. Although there was a regular transfer. But... The road to the beach is not the territory of the hotel. It's dirty and smells like sewage. This is also a big minus.
The beach itself is just a nightmare. Side has the best sandy beaches, but this one is completely traumatic and dangerous. You see the sand and walk boldly, but suddenly stumble over the cobblestones. Moreover, there is a cleaning pipe all along the beach. This is the first time I've seen this in Turkey. Be very careful when entering the sea! People broke their feet in blood, ambulances arrived, applied ice, etc. The cobblestones are sharp and huge.
But the pools and the water park are just great. The children were delighted. Security is being monitored.
Meal. Well, I wouldn't characterize it as diverse... Desserts are a separate topic. They are very tasty. But, baking- we didn't like it at all. There are a lot of fruits, however, they put them at their discretion 😅 very often I was put rotten fruits! I am attaching a photo. This is definitely not a five-star level!!! I was shocked. Moreover, they save so much that when you ask to put more, they make very unhappy faces!
We were surprised by the constant queues for vegetables!!! Why doesn't the administration put another person on vegetable salads??? Otherwise, everyone stands behind cucumbers and tomatoes as a delicacy😂
There is a lot of meat, all kinds. There is a duck. Delicious. But I really wanted to eat crayfish and other seafood. And that's the trouble. There are also few fish. I didn't get the tuna. So, if you want shrimp, mussels, etc., then you are not here! Delicious ice cream and waffles. The long queues for Gozleme tortillas were also very annoying. It was possible to stand for 40 minutes!!! If they are so popular, add another person! But it is not acceptable to stand behind tortillas in such a heat, as in the market!!!
Staff. Of course, there are individual bartenders and waiters who love their job and do it efficiently. But the overall impression is negative. In restaurants, no one is in a hurry to clear your table. The plates are not always clean, they are often broken. Russian is poorly understood, and few people know English either. In general, the hotel is aimed at Turks, Arabs and Germans. They are always welcome🙊
The alcohol is local, not very high quality. But I liked the beer.
I was not pleased with the animation. At all. The guys are good, funny, but the program is frankly weak. They don't even play boccia, but in the evening, sadness and longing. The programs are repeated and they are not very interesting. Where's the fire show? Guest artists, etc.??? Saving again. Evening music is mostly Turkish and, in general, boring. The audience was also reluctant to dance. But a lot depends on the artists themselves, and they sang on the machine, did not work with the guests, as if they were lulling everyone to sleep. It was very boring.
I would like to pay special attention to our guide, Victoria. Wasted time! She can't solve a single issue. And Gest relations are just zero. They absolutely don't care if you like the hotel or not! I wanted to celebrate my 35 years at the hotel. A la carte restaurants did not work that day!! It was a Turkish night. Although what does A la carte have to do with it??? Therefore, no one bothered to decorate my table. They brought a cupcake and champagne to the room, but I wanted a holiday. By the way, in another Crystal it was very festive on my birthday. The staff tried very hard. We left the hotel for the cafe opposite, everything was done beautifully there. I didn't want to pay the hotel in principle, because I was very disappointed in the attitude towards the guests. I am celebrating my fifth year abroad, they always paid attention, decorated the table and gave gifts, but here... Not caring at all!!!
A la carte, we still visited Italian. It is quite tasty, but it was frozen with air conditioning. Actually, the trouble is with this. And in tourist buses, they are turned on at full power right on purpose.
We went on an excursion to Rixos, an amusement park. My impressions are mixed. There are a lot of people, prices are high, queues are huge. For example, swimming with dolphins is $160 per person. The tour itself is the same for an adult and a child, and at least $ 50 for food. Like that.
In general, thanks to our cheerful company, we had a good rest, but I will never recommend this hotel to anyone! You can choose a better one for this money.
PS. If you lose the card from the room, then pay 5 euros. No one warns about this either. This is also the first time we have encountered this. Unpleasant.
I really liked the hotel.
Positive:
1) All inclusive
2) well fed
3) Entertainment program is new every day (7 days)
4) the hotel is very beautiful, and if the room has a sea view, then it is generally beautiful
5) there are slides on the territory of the hotel, the coolest Cobra, it's scary to roll off it, but it's fun.
I recommend
The hotel is a disappointment. 5 stars are not even close. 1.- There is no food, everything is fried- overcooked, with a wild amount of oil, a lot of deep-fried, if something is stewed, then with strange fatty hot sauces. It is impossible to eat soups at all, only chicken broth. Hello Gastritis! Those who adhere to more or less proper nutrition, the hotel is not for you. 2- There is no Wi-Fi at all, it constantly falls off, very weak signal, more or less in the lobby. 3- Room service and cleaning are also at zero. As they put a couple of shower gels and a couple of air conditioners on arrival, a pair of slippers in the hallway, so the arsenal has not been updated once. Leaving a tip didn't fix the situation in any way. Price-quality is not in favor of the hotel.
The hotel is very beautiful, but the staff is a nightmare. The rooms are not cleaned, shampoo is provided every other time, towels are not changed. The reception does not even think about solving this issue. After our request, they brought one shower set for three people.
The staff at the restaurant is so tired that they are unable to serve such a stream of tourists, queues form. The food is monotonous.
The beach is 800 meters from the hotel and this is not the first shore, but the third. It is very scary to go into the water, stones, cobblestones with rebar sticking out.
I do not recommend it, do not waste your money.
I am attaching a photo after cleaning.
A great hotel with excellent service!! We were from October 18 to 26, 2019. The restaurant is bursting with food, a large selection of imported alcoholic beverages, a large gym and a hammam. Free Wi-Fi and in-room safe, beach towels are also free. The room has a mini-bar with water, mineral water, fanta, sprite, Coca-Cola. They replenish it daily. There is also a kettle, tea and coffee bags. To change the bed linen, you need to put a special on the bed.the card, similarly with towels, was put on the floor, so it needs to be replaced. Separately, I would like to mention a large water park on the territory, 8 slides for adults and a mini-water park for the youngest. The beach is sandy, there are few stones, but they are clearly visible, you can walk 500 meters to the beach, or take a minibus. Every day there is an evening show for children, and then for adults. The hotel is perfect for families with children! The ancient Side can be reached on foot 3.5 km from the hotel along the promenade that runs along the coast.
The hotel is lovely and the animation is good... the restaurant is delicious and the selection is huge))) The staff is top! The weather is great) we will definitely come back!!!))))
We were very satisfied after a rest there. Good rooms, service, food, decoration of dishes and variety, drinks. Pools: 10 good slides for skiing, 5 with buns and 5 without buns. Bars, places where you can have a snack all day, a coffee shop. The sea is 5 minutes on foot. You can even take the hotel bus - there is such a thing. On the beach, sun beds with zones and you can eat and drink there from 10 to 18. Showtime at 21.30 pleased in the amphitheater. It was the first vacation in Turkey and he was very impressed!
The hotel is bad! The rooms are old, the plumbing is all broken, the service is in trouble.Towels are not changed, but they are folded dirty from the floor and "please use" upon arrival, the room was dirty after previous guests, a dirty push, toothpaste in the sink, the remaining shampoo tubes in the shower! In the restaurant, or rather the dining room)))it was very dirty, the glasses were served directly with someone's lip prints, it was not possible to eat because the plates were dirty, and the most important minus was the sea, you just couldn't go into it because the whole approach was blocked by healthy cobblestones!!The hotel sucks, I don't recommend it!!!!!!
Very cool!!! Animation is at the highest level, the food is very diverse and delicious, fish and meat, different side dishes, from mashed potatoes to ..., except for buckwheat of course ...👍👍👍👍
We arrived in Side on 05/19/19 the weather is super 27C.
the plane is without delay and everything is according to plan. At 11 a.m. we were brought in, the hotel staff greeted us with smiles and offered a room with a view. they check in at 14 o'clock, but they promised us that our room would be ready at 12 o'clock, but in the meantime they offered to go to brunch. the first impression is that the kitchen is empty and there is nothing much to eat. I was a little disappointed with the "late" breakfast. There are a lot of different breads and buns. cheeses and sausages. muesli flakes, olives, sandwiches, pizza and other snacks. And I didn't like anything to feed the children with. there are no usual cereals or cottage cheese, fruits or pancakes after all). But later it turned out that you can feed yourself and your children! it is necessary to arrive a little earlier for the "first" breakfast). there are fruits and omelets and pancakes.
The dinners aren't bad either. slightly unusual soups are yogurt and spicy. just in case the child was 9 months old, I took some purees. I regret that I did not take the porridge. but the child did not stay hungry. I just ate vegetables and fruits. The first dinner was a delight. we arrived for the Independence Day holiday, everything in their restaurant is elegant and decorated according to the theme. There are plenty of fruits, apricots, cherry plums, nectarines, watermelons and strawberries, well, apples, oranges and bananas. A huge selection of snacks, meat and fish. At first I thought it was in honor of the holiday, but no! every evening is like a holiday. Then sushi, then pilaf and seafood. the hotel is very nice and clean. The cleaning is wet, towels are changed daily too. The staff is friendly. In general, we liked the hotel, after breakfast, as promised, at 12 o'clock we were checked into a femeli room, although we had a standard. We thanked him. The room is very good, 2 rooms and a terrace with sun loungers, where you can sunbathe. This is important for us. before the trip, they got sick and did not go to the pool for the first 3-4 days..
By the way, there were fireworks on the territory of 19.05 in the evening. very cool, but the kid was scared of the noise, so they looked out the window)). In general, every evening there is an interesting show program in the amphitheater. We are not amateurs. but once my daughter and I watched an African-American acrobat show. I liked it!
there is a spa center where beach towels are provided. there is also a hammam and a salt cave and perhaps something else that is included in the cost of washing. We didn't have time to go. but every time they tried to impose spa services on us. peeling, soap massage.
There is an interesting path in the greenery to the beach, a 10-minute walk away. We went to the sea every day. there's a prominade of interesting and cute hotels on the shore. the beach is nice, but not at our hotel. There are rocks and stones in the water. a little to the left or to the right, there are better places for swimming, but it's crowded there.
there is no exit from our hotel with a wheelchair ramp. I had to walk either through the neighboring crystal Queen, where the guards were squinting, or up the stairs.
there is a minibus to the beach. Apparently, too, according to the schedule. ice cream is served on schedule at the beach bar, which is inconvenient. It seems to be a complete enclave)) and we still have to catch the waffles, they are also on schedule. next to the lobi restaurant there is a bar and pastry shops. to go to the Ala Kart restaurant once, you need to make an appointment in advance.They said it was possible through the app, but it didn't work out. And it is impossible to choose a table by yourself, so on the ground floor you can contact the special department.
In general, there are many points that can be corrected and we have suggested to the staff what to pay attention to in order to improve the quality of service.
The hotel feels like a fresh 2013. But I've already managed to talk in places.
A gorgeous hotel. The service is at the highest level. The buffet is beyond praise. There are gorgeous animation programs for children every evening. It's a paradise for adults. My wife and I really liked it.
