I am very glad that we chose this particular hotel. I had a rest in September 2024. The optimal combination of price and quality. A comfortable hotel with very polite staff. The beach is large with yellow velvet sand. We walked along the coast in Side - this is the best beach. The entry into the sea is ideal. There is a great bar by the beach. There are always enough sun beds both by the pools and on the beach. Sun beds with comfortable mattresses. The hotel has slides for both children and adults. Slides for adults - with and without tubing. There were always enough tubes, there were no queues on the slides. There is a separate 18+ swimming pool without children. The pools have a comfortable depth of 1.4 m. Where the slides are 1.2 m. The food at the hotel is delicious, varied - meat, fish, chicken, vegetables, fruits. The fruits were watermelon, melon, plum, apples, pomegranates, grapes, oranges. The room is clean, cleaned daily. They gave me a lot of towels - 2 beach towels for each, 2 large white ones for use in the room and even small ones. Theoretically, the room had a sea view, but since we lived on the 2nd floor and the sea was a 10-minute walk away, we couldn't see it. The controversial point is that there is no door to the bathroom (there is a toilet), but since we were without children, this did not bother us. An important point is that they do not give shampoo and conditioner for hair (but I always have my own), there is a shower gel. The only drawback is wi-fi. Only the reception has a normal connection. There is almost no animation (discos, karaoke and infrequent artists, once a week there is a foam pool), but you can play tennis (large) or mini golf, you can throw darts or rope mugs at the target. In the restaurant, at first I was surprised by the moment with tables assigned to specific rooms, then I got into it that it was convenient - a large company was given a large table, for two - a small one. As a result, your clean table is waiting for you at any time. Of the important little things - we had a late arrival (after 23-00), we were fed anyway (snacks were placed in the restaurant in such a case). I was very pleased with the rest. Great hotel!

I liked the hotel. monumental building, columns, marble, glass elevators. Among the advantages are friendly staff, excellent pools (4 pieces), plenty of places both on the beach and by the pools, free WI-FI and free billiards. The safe is also free. nice little rooms. The dishes are clean, the food is fresh. The sea is gorgeous, the setting is super.Now the cons:the food is monotonous, the breakfast is very modest, there are no snacks (they take out about 16-00 pies to the pool and that's it). The road to the beach is dirty, not very pleasant, through an underground passage. There is a bar on the beach - everything is in plastic cups, only drinks, no snacks at all. ROOM: there is a fan - it's super, You cool it with a little conditioner, and then just turn on the fan, beauty. The room is large, with a beam of 6-7 meters. The rooms are odd with views of the pools and mountains (quieter), the even rooms are on the road (noisier, but you can see the sea on high floors). The most important thing is that there is no door in the bathroom in the room. ABSOLUTELY! The toilet is fenced off by a small glass partition (a la door, but without a lock and without a box, the toilet is not completely closed and the sounds and smells are with you and your partners)), the shower room is fenced off only by a curtain. And a bonus... the window from the shower room to the room is almost full-length. The MEANING of this is not clear. There are
blinds, but it's all kind
of weird. I was uncomfortable
and uncomfortable (I was with my teenage son). I would like to note the good location of the hotel - within walking distance of the promenade along the beach right to the ancient Side. 15 m inut from the hotel to NOVOMOL (minibus "Side" to antique Side (1 dollar or 25 lira). then the minibus "Novomoll" (1 dollar or 28 lira) was transferred.
The conclusion is that I may even come someday, the hotel is price-quality, there are more advantages. If this hotel has a normal price tag, it is quite possible to survive the window in the shower)))

We had a rest in August 2024 at the defne defnem 5* hotel. The hotel is very decent, well-maintained territory, several pools, good food, fresh rooms after renovation, comfortable beds. A big plus of the hotel is the sandy beach with a gentle entrance to the sea, the availability of always free sun beds, as well as a promenade along the sea. A small disadvantage is the lack of a bathroom door, although there is a separate glass door to the toilet, a rather strange solution for family rooms. I also liked the performance of the visiting artists, although the animation team itself is weak, as well as a sufficient number of free sports, as well as free billiards. The entire infrastructure is also close to the hotel. The overall impression is positive.

Everything is fine! I liked the hotel, everything is clean, beautiful, the room is cleaned every day, I even had the floor washed twice a week. The water park is cool, the pools are large. Animation every day, different programs in the evening, you won't get bored! I rested from 1.09. to 9.09. 2024. The sea is clean, warm, the velvet season... I arrived at the hotel at night, checked into a great room for an additional fee (I didn't have to wait in the lobby at 14:00 to check in) and on the day of check-out, the stay in the room was extended without additional payment until the transfer at 21:40. The staff is polite, kind, friendly. Good quality alcohol for every taste. It is a 7-10 min walk to the sea through the tunnel , but again it is not stressful. We walked along the embankment to the ancient city of Side, very beautiful! I recommend to watch both in the afternoon and in the evening, you can take a bus or taxi, but it's better to take a walk to see. We walked there along the embankment, back through the city. Leaving the hotel you can walk, there are many shops and bazaars.I really liked it, I recommend it!

It was from 01.10.2024 for 8 days.I liked. The room is spacious, everything works. Towels and cleaning every day. The staff is on top. The food is chicken, beef, turkey. There was mutton from time to time. The beach is clean. Sun beds with a mattress are free of charge. We arrived at night. We were fed boutiques with cheese and sausage. The only negative is ANEX employee Hasan Aghayev. With the air of a boss, he began to rub in where we shop and where to go. The women got up to go about their business, raised their voices and began to scold them like a teacher. It was very nasty and uncomfortable. He made me wait for the receipt of the voucher.
He behaved rudely and arrogantly! This is not the place, as I think in ANEX. SHAME ON YOU!!! I am completely satisfied with my vacation and the rest of the staff. Prosperity to you !!
PS : Antique Side in the evening in the backlight is SUPER!!!

The hotel impresses with its size. There is a lot of free space, halls, wide corridors. The room was clean. Every day they brought 1 bottle of 1.5 liters of soda and 1 bottle of 2 liters of drinking water. They cleaned every day. Food from the category - you will not stay hungry. Sausages and cutlets are soy, chicken is often over-dried. Always fresh cucumbers, tomatoes, cabbage and salads made from them. For breakfast, pancakes and scrambled eggs, dry mixes. There were interruptions with fruits: watermelons, grapes, melons, oranges. There are a lot of pies. French fries and pasta for lunch. Chilled beer is not intoxicating, pleasant. The wine is warm and weak. YUPPIES are different. I was pleased with the pool. One is for relaxation without a buffet and without music, the second with noisy entertainment, the third is for children with slides, the fourth is like mani aqua park. It takes 10 minutes to get to the sea via an underground passage. There is no shampoo, gel, soap, toothbrush and paste, but there is a hair cap for taking a shower. A nice bonus is a towel shopper and a phone wallet. They could have been taken away - it's up to you to decide for yourself or not. There is no entertainment in the evenings.

The hotel is not bad, the room is quite comfortable (we rested with the child, he slept on a cot, very comfortable). The balcony is large, there is a dryer for wet clothes (swimsuits, towels are convenient to hang).
The only thing inconvenient in the room was the lack of a door to the bathroom area.
Of course, it wasn't very good for food, but it was possible to choose.
The fruits were delicious only oranges (only with a yellow crust. From the green - there were sour ones), apples, melon (but it was necessary to choose ripe pieces), plums, pomegranates (also sour).
Sweets are not tasty except for praise. And there was very little praise. And in general, if the food was running out on the plates in the dining room, they did not report it, but simply removed the vacant dish. Therefore, it was necessary to come to the very beginning of breakfast / lunch / dinner.
Alcohol and drinks were always poured, in the cafe on the beach there was, among other things, tomato juice, ayran. The juice from the vending machine (orange/pineapple/cherry) is concentrated and some kind of chemical.
There are many games on site (table tennis, football, ring game, billiards, animation by the pool).
You can walk along the promenade along the beach to the Old Side.

Hotel:
Spacious gym with Life Fitness equipment
A tiny lobby bar, not enough seats for everyone.
There are tables assigned to each room in the restaurant, which is a plus. But the food is monotonous.
Replacement of towels, including beach towels (!) once a week.
There are few elevators, frequent traffic jams and waiting.
Responsive staff.
The rooms are spacious. But when the air conditioner is turned on, there is a strong smell of mold. The ceiling fan saves you.
There are no bathrobes, no disposable slippers, no shampoo (instead there is a dispenser with liquid soap).
Spectacular reception area.
WiFi in the rooms catches very poorly, sometimes it does not connect at all and the speed is low. It is better on site, and on the beach you can connect to the Defne Star network.
Animation: Very weak animation and evening shows.
Territory:
Large swimming pool, plenty of sun beds for everyone. There is a separate Relax pool with 18+ access. The slides in the water park are not bad, they are opened twice a day for an hour and a half.
There is no bottled water on the territory of the hotel, you have to carry a 1.5liter bottle with you and pour from rare coolers or constantly run to the bar.
The convenient location of the hotel, 5-7 minutes walk to the sea, 30 minutes to historical sites along the embankment. Nice walking area with shops, bars and restaurants. To Migros (something like our Magnet) about 20 minutes on foot.
Beach:
Its own sandy beach. There are a lot of sun beds, there are enough for everyone. There are tables for clothes and hooks on umbrellas for bags. There is no pontoon. Nearby is the large beach of the Defne Star Hotel and a water entertainment tent.

The hotel is quite large and beautiful. Spacious rooms, a huge balcony with dryers and a table with chairs. 2 outdoor pools, 1 indoor for the cold season, decent slides, gym, hammam, court, table tennis tables, golf - all for free. There is an unobtrusive animation. The food in the restaurant is not the most diverse, but everything is quite tasty and enough. The sea is 5-7 minutes on foot, there are always enough sunbeds, going to the sea is a dream. I would love to come here again.

We stayed at this hotel in October of this year. The hotel is comfortable, beautiful, the staff is friendly and courteous. We were checked in early in the morning (at 7 o'clock) for an additional fee ($ 20) and with a wonderful view of the pools and mountains.
The food is delicious for breakfast, lunch and dinner, you definitely won't stay hungry, but the variety of fruits was small.
Among the snacks: ice cream was brought to the pool three times a week, you could also eat cookies and fruits by the pool and on the beach after lunch.
The alcohol is not bad, the beer is not diluted, the cocktails are all delicious.
The pools are large and good, but the relaxation pool did not work with us, which is a bit insulting. The water in them at this time is already colder than in the sea, but this did not bother me. The sea, by the way, was quite warm! There were sun beds with green pillows on the beach for hotel guests, however, it was not as close as they wanted to go, but for the young it was not a problem. There is a market right next to the hotel.
The room was cleaned every day, towels were changed twice or three times, two beach towels and a shower, everything was fine with us. Carbonated and regular water were brought free of charge, and they cleaned cleanly.
One of the biggest disadvantages for us is the almost complete lack of animation. During the whole week we got to only one dance performance, the rest of the days there was a disco and karaoke, where almost no one went. For children, there was a mini disco for half an hour every day. There was no promised aqua gymnastics by the pool, just darts and a foam party once a week, that's all. Very weak animation, although perhaps the situation is completely different in the season.
And the staff practically does not speak Russian. Overall, the hotel made a pleasant impression, but it is suitable for those who like more passive recreation.
About ANEX. I hasten to warn you that the guides are very persistent, it will be difficult for weak-minded people to refuse additional trips. Personally, I decided to go to keyf hamam for $ 20, where I didn't see anything interesting, you can ask your friends for exactly the same massage.

A great hotel an hour's drive from the airport. Two large pools, there is a pool for kids and slides for every taste (but they turn on twice a day for an hour). A huge dining area, a buffet, a lot of different dishes, of course some dishes were unsuccessful, but mostly everything is delicious.
The room is not big or small, we only slept in it, I was surprised that there is no door to the bathroom, which is divided into a toilet and a shower room, the toilet has a door) you also need to be prepared for the fact that there is no shampoo, conditioner and shower gel in bottles or bags and there will not be. Something soapy is poured into dispensers near the sink and in the shower. There are also no disposable slippers.
But there are a lot of towels: gray for the beach (it takes about seven minutes to walk to the sea and it's better through an underground passage, and it's closer and safer, since motorists don't willingly stop at a red light and a pedestrian crossing) and white for the room.
Very funny bartenders, there are those who can explain themselves in Russian, alcohol is different for all tastes.
Wi-Fi works well in the lobby, so during the day at the peak of the heat there were a lot of people buried in their gadgets.
A lot of entertainment: mini golf, tennis, billiards, gym, sauna, water polo, in general, if you want to be active, but do not want to go far, then you can not leave the hotel at all.
In general, we really liked it.

We just got back. 2 adults and a child of 14 years old. Given the sky-high prices, we have been tracking the option with a five, slides and in convenient proximity to the sea for a long time.
I put 5, because for that price and the level of reviews already available, as well as the description of the hotel and its service, everything coincided with expectations.
Spacious rooms, clean furniture, very comfortable mattresses, even on my son's extra bed. Clean linen (this is important). In fact, they put fresh duvet covers and changed pillowcases outside the stated deadline. Towels are very convenient - two sets of beach and bath towels at once in the room. And also, some were replaced out of time. It was originally announced once a week. I have never evaluated the cleaning, therefore: there is no sand, the garbage was removed, the dust was wiped and the bed was made, everything is good.
Food. I am surprised, of course, by the reviews about "oh my God, there was no seafood", "cakes are not delicious"))), yes everything is fine, the usual choice: a couple of types of chicken, meat, fish always! We ate trout every day! What kind of chicken) we eat it at home every day). And the people are standing in queues behind the chicken)). And by the way, there were seafood: squid with shrimp. A very tasty dish is mushrooms with beef. And also, I didn't understand all the time why people create a queue, standing all the way from the first pallet to the last… You come up, you look at what's in the pallet, they stand on the left and on the right and don't take anything from it, well, come up, pushing back a little, take it, what to stand and create queues from the very end)) Then the excitement goes through 30 minutes after the start of lunch / dinner and everything is free), the dishes are heard and updated, everything will get)) . And it's also interesting to watch the mountains on plates of pasta and fries))
Soups are delicious for lunch. Salads and sauces.
The waiters will bring everything, we didn't run by ourselves. They smiled and talked, they remembered, and when they saw us they asked if they could repeat it?) The table was fixed and it's sooo convenient, just a find and a solution, you don't stand and don't look. You come after check-in, you show your room and they show you a table and that's it.
The pools are clean, the slides are open from 11 to 12 and from 14:30 to 16, as in many hotels. We rolled normally, especially on a slide with a double circle) screamed).
The animation is a bit weak, but after talking with the guys, we found out that there are only three of them, and they don't have much experience. The boy tries his best during the day: darts, volleyball, football to organize, DJ and he is also the host of aqua aerobics, well, he is not involved, does not communicate with the guests at all, and in the evening on stage he utters standard phrases before the invited show, and after the show, he tries to run away faster) ciao ciao). Although he announces a dance evening, and everyone continues to sit, people do not understand-now someone will start these dances or what? They are sitting listening to music, and the animators are hiding near the stage)). Well, why not go out and start a couple of songs and jump and start people and go on by yourself). It didn't bother us, I started dancing and pulled up my compatriots and not only, the main thing is to make friends).
Foam party once a week by the pool). And again), the first time it's just foam)), and music). No egegay, no hotel dance). I told the guys. For the second time, two dance groups were invited and that was already fun. Anyway, animation is still ahead!
The sea is awesome in the morning at 10 and in the evening after 17, at other times it is hot and too many people. It is convenient to walk for 5-7 minutes. What else can I say about the hotel... Elevators are a quest, after a couple of days we figured out how to use them better. Bar: locally produced quite tolerable drinks, tequila sunrise cocktail and sex on the beach are delicious. On the beach, the only cups of milking water and cola-type burds appear only with the opening at 9:30, it's a little inconvenient if you come to swim earlier.
There are always a lot of free sun beds at the sea, but by lunch and after by the pool everything is occupied)), we came to 11 (to the slides), there was still a choice, at 12 that's it) We drank amicably in the evening with the Poles, all kind, all for peace and friendship of the Slavs. Bar in the lobby for up to an hour), stop walking)
The room was odd - this is the best option, as the view of the relaxing pool and the stage, after 23 silence. The sound insulation is gorgeous! This is the first time! You can't hear anything from the street, there is carpet in the corridors - there is no trampling, the doors do not crash.
The kapets guide is obsessive)) Olga) they came up with some cards with quarkodes there)) they are distributed on the bus and are obliged to come to the guide)) The prices are two or even three times higher!
We went rafting and a pirate ship (to stay on the spit between the river and the sea) through the Satellite, an aggregator of excursions around the world.
Anyway, we liked everything. Silent swing animation and that's it!;)

The hotel is excellent (Defne Defnem), nice room, polite staff (understands Russian well), location (2nd line), not a problem. It is not long to walk to the sea, and there is a wonderful sandy beach and the same sandy entrance to the sea! Sun beds, mattresses, towels are provided free of charge. The room was cleaned every day. The room is large and spacious. The food is delicious, we missed Turkish, so we ate with pleasure: fresh fish every day, lots of meat dishes and vegetables. We had our own table, so we didn't have to worry about the place, and the hotel was at most a third full. There was almost no swimming in the pool - you can't replace the sea with a pool. The animation is also decent - professional dance groups (Latin American and modern costumed) performed.
The hotel offers free of charge: sauna, mini golf, tennis. But all this was not particularly in demand. In the afternoon, the beach, in the evening, walking around the shops with Turkish goods.
We walked to the old town of Side (40 minutes along the sea along the path), so we also looked at the antiquities. And that's all we wanted.
In general, our rating is 5 plus.

In general, the hotel is not bad and there are many advantages, but the presence of disadvantages and not the desire to correct them evoke sad thoughts...And so about the advantages:
large clean and bright rooms, cleaning every day, a lot of towels, 4 beach towels.for two, they change after 7 days, the bed is excellent 4 pillows, we left the room at 12.50! in the dining room each room has its own table, it is convenient, it is always waiting for you))))clean with appliances))), there are always places on the beach (sun beds) both at sea and by the pool.The beach is a good sand, the depth is far and without stones))), there are a lot of Russians and Poles, 80% for sure. In the evening, you can walk around the Turkish bazaar, not very far from the Mall.
Minuses:the absence of slippers, soap, shower gel in the rooms (not in the dispenser))!Food:the food is only breakfast, lunch and dinner, there is no meat...chicken is not tasty with bones...fish carcass with bones or fillet in marinade..Well, it's not tasty!sweets are terribly few and not tasty!!!the pastry chef needs to be changed)))!!!the plus from such a meal is great))the fact that they did not gain too much!!!and on the field trip, we realized with the child that we want meat on fire....I don't know how adult men survive in a hotel....my husband would have "eaten" me))).
The road to the beach is a separate sadness...the operator promised a tunnel, but in fact - a pedestrian crossing and a dirty street between the hotels, and even cars drive along it!!the gate closes at 19.00...so the sunsets are only at the hotel. The animation teams did not see it at all, both adults and children are bored...Yes, there was water polo, darts, aerobics, but it was dry...and sad.Ice cream is given out on Tue. chet and sub, just 1 hour by the pool, 2 packs in hand...and the guard's turn .....
There are disadvantages, but we went to the SEA and for the sun)))thank you for this Turkey))!

They were in June 2023. In general, the hotel is not bad, the rooms have been renovated for a long time, but they are very good, very comfortable mattress and pillows, towels are put on for three days at once, then they are changed, cleaning is usual. The food is a little strange here-the tables are fixed for someone, there is no cat, like us, it is not very convenient, everything is the same, there is no intermediate food, and the grill is cooked right in the restaurant, but the dishes are quite edible, you will not leave hungry. The pools are clean, the slides are on schedule. The animation is weak. The beach is actually good, the approach is smooth, the sand, but for some reason everyone goes to it, the beach bar is only drinks, alcoholic and non-alcoholic. Many of the staff speak Russian. Russian russians are a lot of vacationers, in the first week almost all Russians were, in the second there were more foreigners, a lot of Germans, Poles, Turks a little
We took it at a discount, I wouldn't go there for the full price

Good afternoon! I am writing an honest review) I was in Turkey for the first time. The hotel is not bad, overall clean. The room was cleaned every day (we were at the end of September). The food is monotonous and the quality is top notch. Alcoholic beverages - beer, wine is also of lame quality, cocktails are more or less. It took 7-10 minutes to walk to the beach, it was not essential for us. The beach is cool, the sun beds are free, the coast is sandy, clean. There is a bar by the sea, French fries, other stuff). On entertainment trips to hotels, she took an active part in the First party (although it was in the afternoon) and evening dances)

The hotel is good, corresponds to 5 stars. The price-quality ratio.
The interior is very beautiful, clean and well maintained. The rooms are clean, cleaning every day.
The staff is polite, once the bathroom door creaked, my husband said at the reception, the master came in 5 minutes and fixed everything.
The territory is well maintained, to the beach on foot by an underground passage 10 minutes on foot, but there is a minus here

Suitable for family holidays
I stayed at this hotel in August 2024 with my wife and son of 14 years.
We stopped at the hotel at 10 a.m., promised to check into a standard room at 12.00 (standard check-in at 14.00). We paid 60 dollars and settled immediately into an improved room on the 5th floor (room 545) with 3 balconies with a normal bathroom without a window from the bathtub to the bedroom. From the balconies you could see the sea, the hotel grounds overlooking the pools and a place for evening shows.
I won't tell you about the food, a lot has been written about it in previous reviews.
I had free Wi-Fi in the lobby and in the room, the Internet speed was not very high, but I corresponded on Whatsapp without problems and sent photos.
There was also a free safe in the room.
Every day (except Thursday), two 1.5 liter bottles of water and 1 liter of mineral water were put in our refrigerator for a family of 3 people. On Thursday, we took water from the cooler in the restaurant.
Olga's guide has already been written about earlier, she also seemed harsh to us, but in moderation, we most often communicated with her assistant Rufat, a very sociable and polite guide, helped us with all questions, even helped us extend our room on the day of departure from the hotel.
There is a shopping street near the hotel, follow the red line on the sidewalk. It is best to go to the right on leaving the hotel, there are a lot of shops and pharmacies with Russian-speaking sellers (they helped us a lot, my son got sick and they suggested which analogues of Russian medicines can be bought).
There is also a promenade not far from the hotel, you can walk to the Ancient Side. I did this - I drove to the Ancient Side by minibus for $ 1, then walked along the Ancient Side and along the embankment reached the hotel.
I didn't like the room cleaning, it seems the cleaners are friendly, but they clean badly.
As a result, the food seems to be varied, but without frills. There are activities for children, including a water park and a children's disco, but there is little entertainment for adults in the evening (although we walked a lot and we did not need them). There is free Internet (a very important thing for adults and children)))))), a safe. My son wanted to come back here next year....but my wife and I will think more about this issue))))

The hotel is good, but there are some nuances. I was with my family in July 2024.10 days
Minuses:
1. Cleaning
They don't clean well, but it didn't bother me personally. They cleaned only in the center of the room, and then so-so.
2. Entertainment
This is most likely not a minus, but a plus, but for some, the opposite is possible.
There is little entertainment, billiards, golf, beach, pool, slides, like everything.
While waiting for dinner, it's boring, you won't go to the sea or to the pool, the heat is terrible even in the shade under 40
3. Heat
Well, this is certainly not a minus of the hotel, but of the country, but still, the heat is terrible.
Now the pros, of course there are more of them)
1. Nutrition
It was gorgeous, of course, not luxury level, but they gave fish, meat of different types, cheeses of a bunch of different varieties, vegetables, greens, watermelon, melon, bananas sometimes, baklava, Turkish cakes, pudding, pasta, nuggets, ordinary potatoes, fries
But a small minus, in the morning only pancakes to eat, eggs, well, cereals, the rest is not very (from the main)
And so I liked it (the food is not all)
2. Drinks
The drinks are gorgeous, alcoholic cocktails, alcohol, pepsi, etc., tea, coffee of various types, hot chocolate, but not very soft drinks, they also gave ayran
3. There were shops nearby (in the style of a market)
A lot of souvenirs, food and much more were sold
4. Next to The Side
It's not close, about 50 minutes on foot, but you can take a bus, there is also a shopping center nearby
5. Swimming pools
2 swimming pools, + one for children
1 relax pool, for adults, so that no one splashes, 18+
2 swimming pools for everyone, everyone is already splashing there, the water is comfortable, but it's better to swim in the morning
6. The beach
The beach is cool, the sand, the sea, everything is there, even a shower. The only thing when you go into the sea is a small descent, literally 20-30 cm there are stones, but for me it is not a minus, the most important thing is the sea further
7. Staff
People are always kind, friendly, and will help
8. Rooms
The rooms are good, the beds are soft, the only minus is the door only to the toilet, and there is a curtain in the shower, the sink is straight, it brought discomfort, but this is not a direct horror, I did not pay attention
That's all, the hotel is super, I really liked it, I advise you

We liked the hotel, we were in August 2024. The room is clean, cleaning every day except Thursday. Towels are changed once a week, but there are a lot of them, that's enough. The food is varied, they cook well. The staff is polite. The beach is 2nd line, 5 minutes walk, sandy. There are always free sun beds on the beach, a shower, a bar, and an airan. The pool is large, there are slides very funny)) Near the pool there is animation, water gymnastics, polo. After lunch, there is also a snack- fruits and sweets, Tue., Thu. and Saturday ice cream.
There are many shops near the hotel, and there is a place to walk in the evening.
The room does not really have a bathroom door, there is a curtain, but this is not critical. There is a balcony, a clothes dryer, a mosquito net. The refrigerator in the room is refilled with water. If for some reason there is not enough water, you can top up the bottle from the cooler (there is in the restaurant and near the pool).
The Internet in the lobby, in the room is weak, on the beach you can connect to the Defne Star network, it starts with the hotel data.

A good hotel, the air conditioner does not blow on the bed, maintains a normal temperature and is not noisy. It is very convenient that the table is fixed during the rest. There are no queues at the restaurant, bar and on the slides. There is no need to occupy sun beds on the beach, there is a shower on the beach. The entry into the water is perfect, a very pleasant sand in the water and on the beach. The beach bar. Well-maintained territory. Lots of entertainment (tennis, mini golf, billiards, table tennis, badminton) There are many shops nearby, there are many places to go for a walk. They give out a shopper for the rest period and key bags with change. Room cleaning works well. Separate bathroom. The beach is located next to the boardwalk. Among the disadvantages: there are no slippers and bathrobes, shampoos, a minibar only with water in large bottles.

We have been staying at the hotel since 11.07 . As soon as we arrived, everything was fine, there were not many people. It was free and comfortable everywhere.After 15.07, the hotel was apparently fully occupied. There are crazy queues for food in the dining room, it's hard to find a sunbed on the pool, and you can find even less on the sea. Wi-Fi in the rooms does not work at all, only in the lobby, where of course there are a lot of people and there are no places to sit. The water in the pool is just a nightmare ( + 31) and on the street 42, that is, there is nowhere to cool down, you swim like a bathtub (More or less nothing for food, but on the seventh day you realize that everything is the same. But only the second courses are delicious! We haven't tried soups, vegetables are like vegetables. But it is not possible to eat desserts at all! Probably the cheapest in Turkey. You will not see the usual Turkish baklava here, and if they put something similar, it is far from the real one. Mostly biscuits soaked in sugar syrup and not delicious cakes! The rooms are ordinary, there is no bathroom door, but this did not bother us in any way. There is a shower curtain and a small door in the toilet. The air conditioner works well, but it seems that it does not cool at night as it does during the day. If silence is important to you in the evening and at night, then ask for an odd room, their Windows overlook the pool, golf. The rest of them go out onto the road, it's probably noisy there, the road is busy. We had room 323! Very successful! Upon arrival at the reception, they immediately asked for a room and for $ 20 they gave us such a room. In general, you probably need to go to this hotel in June and early July. After July 15th, it's packed. There is a very small dining room in such a large hotel.This is an ordinary five, without frills! There is no territory at all where to walk.We will definitely not come back here a second time!

We were at the end of the season. Budget 5k. You can say it's not a 5k at all. Room cleaning is so-so, every day, but Thursday is a day off. There are a lot of towels, a couple per person, both beach and room towels, have not been changed in a week. Maybe just for the legs. There is only soap from the shower accessories, no bathrobes and slippers, you need to take it with you. Responsive staff, all problems are solved quickly. The impression was spoiled by the guide from ANEX Hassan, very arrogant and nasty, talked as if with some kind of non-people, the jokes were stupid, in fact took a lot of time. The food in the dining room is delicious. The food is not very varied, but you will not stay hungry. Alcohol is normal. There are imported drinks. Animation is not every day, but on Sunday it's just a day off and nothing works at all, it's boring. It's not far to the beach, up to 10 minutes, the beach is excellent, the sand. The sea is super warm, the water in the pool was much colder. Within walking distance of the mall, migros, the ancient city and ruins.

There were 2 adults and a 5.5-year-old child in October, animation for both children and adults, varied food, for every taste, alcohol too, it was never bad, although we drink a lot) the hotel is clean, they give free water and regular and mineral water, sauna for free, water park too. There is only one caveat, if you are a young girl / woman, the Turks will molest you) and so in general, thank you for the rest!❤

The hotel is good. It is located in an excellent location, with access to the promenade to the old Side. The rooms are large and well renovated. Meals for 4+, there are a lot of meat and fish dishes and very tasty, few sweets. There are no foreigners. Alcohol drinks. The hotel is for a calm, measured rest, not a party. Animation software. The beach is sandy, with a gentle sandy approach. There is a beach bar with drinks and snacks. Beach bar on the 4th floor. I liked the hotel, the service and the service are good. Good slides for adults and children.

We have been resting since August 21, 24 ...
In general, everything is positive, but we are extremely surprised that the 5* hotel does not put shampoo and shower gels.
The food is delicious, but not varied, for 6 days of rest there is the same fish, and there has never been seafood
The staff is helpful and friendly.
The rooms are spacious and clean.
The beach is healthy, today there was a foam party👍

We liked everything.
The sea is beautiful , but far away ( if you are young and healthy, then this is not a problem )
The rooms (we have a family) are huge, the cleaning is so-so.
Food : beef, chicken, dorado, trout, etc. - monotonous, but everything is delicious.
In the afternoon, ice cream ( 3/7, there were burgers)
Hit the Turkish night
Breakfast is not very good
Drinks: local (Aperol is good)
Service : it's not a problem for us to walk to the bar and order drinks, there are never napkins on the tables
Animation : great, but it started on July 7th
Slides , grounds, pools - everything is cool
I recommend it for a non-pretentious guest.

This is a 3-star hotel, I couldn't give him more. The old stock of rooms, the microscopic territory of the hotel, one restaurant in total, and it's a nightmare - if you sit down at any table where you want, the staff will immediately begin to drive you away and tell you in an ultimatum to sit at the table assigned to your room, it may be outside under the scorching sun, or it may be under the air conditioner. Or maybe there's a stupid prison system in the hallway. The worst vacation of my life because of the hotel and the restaurant with its staff, who brought me to tears on my birthday. I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS HOTEL!

A wonderful luxury hotel, the service is excellent, the beaches are clean, and the pool is like fresh milk (we were in early August). The dishes in the restaurant are delicious, but the translations are not always correct.

A big beautiful hotel. The sea is a 10-minute walk away. There is a dedicated beach area on the sea for a hotel with a beach bar. There are two large pools on the territory, but one is decorative. There is a pool bar. There are free drinks (alcoholic and non-alcoholic) in the bars. There are small snacks. Two slide areas for children and adults. The slides are turned on twice a day before and after lunch. Animators organize contests by the pool according to the schedule. In the evening, animators organize contests for children, and later karaoke for adults. There is a mini golf course and a tennis court on site. There is a room for billiards and table football. There is a hammam. There is a bar near the lobby. It works until one o'clock in the morning. The hotel has a large restaurant, buffet meals. There is alcohol: beer, wine, rum, vodka... The food is varied and plentiful. Especially hungry people can go out to eat at night. The rooms are clean. There are regular towels and two beach towels. Towels are not changed every day. Two liter bottles of water are placed in the refrigerator every day: regular and mineral. There is a TV, there are Russian channels. Wi-fi catches everywhere except the restaurant terrace, but apparently some have problems in the rooms because many were sitting in the lobby bar on the Internet. The Internet connection in our room was excellent.

The hotel is not 5 stars, but a confident 4 stars. The biggest disadvantage is the road to the beach, which goes along a dirty public pedestrian crossing and along a sewer drain. Otherwise, the hotel is very good, the staff is responsive, they speak Russian, everything is included, the buffet is very diverse, the territory is large, 4 pools, water slides, even mini golf, there is a lot of water and you can fill it from coolers on the territory, the bar is open all the time, the hotel is large - more than 1000 people can accommodate, but everything is clear with the seating at the tables and with the settlement, quickly.

A great hotel for your money. The rooms are NOT dead. There are many locations. The trick is that each room has its own table in the restaurant. It is a 5-minute walk to the sea. The beach is wide with a cafe from the hotel.
According to the food standards, there is always meat, not just chicken. The drunk is all made of bottles. You can pour beer yourself in the restaurant.
Of the cons:
Weak animation (if anyone needs it)
The variety of fruits is so-so ...
That's probably all the cons.
There is a golf course, a billiard room with 6 tables, a tennis court.
To the largest shopping center in Manavgat 8 minutes by taxi from 10 euros or by 2 minibuses 15-20 minutes for a penny. There are places to go to the left and right of the hotel.
Along the embankment, you can walk to the ancient Side and the port in 20 minutes.
The water slides are normal, not dull. There are 4 basslines in total.
In general, a five is not a five, but a hundred percent four with habits of 5 is for sure.

We rested in July 24, there is not even a smell of the declared five stars, there is only evening animation, there is no other, alcohol is disgusting, the food is monotonous and the dining room, which they call a restaurant, constant queues, in the rooms only garbage removal from cleaning. The description says that there are bars with ice cream and desserts, but this is a lie, they are given out only on certain days and then only for one hour, in an ordinary pool bar.

We had a family vacation at the end of June. The hotel is not big, but cozy. Interesting architecture of the building. The rooms are quite decent and spacious. Hotel features: air conditioners in the rooms are turned on only after 16:00, towels are changed once every 7 days, on Thursdays there is no cleaning at all (the staff has a day off), bathroom design (there is no common door to the bathroom, the toilet closes only on the glass door). Food: breakfast, lunch, dinner. In terms of quantity, it is quite enough, but in aesthetics, I would add ... Serving without frills, to put it mildly. Soft drinks: tea, coffee, juices from concentrates, soda, water. Slightly alcoholic beverages: beer, wine, "cocktails" based on juice from concentrates. The wine is not bad. It's even scary to look at "cocktails", it looks like some kind of mess. The beach is a 10-minute walk away. Wide, with deep sand, but very poorly maintained. The "beach bar" is a very shabby place, it's better not to go in. I liked the absence of representatives of the Turkish "beauty industry" on the territory of the hotel (massage therapists, make-up artists, hairdressers, cosmetologists, etc.). Considering the cost, we were satisfied with the rest. The sea, the sun, and the comfortable atmosphere of peace blocked some of the "eccentricities" of the hotel.
