Rest from 05/20/2024 to 06/22/2024. We had a rest together with my husband. Standard room, accommodation in block B, second floor. The windows of the room faced the road in front of the hotel, so with the balcony door open it was quite noisy from passing traffic, but most often they used air conditioning, so the balcony door was closed, the noise from the road did not bother. The room is spacious and bright. The room includes everything you need: two beds (double and single), two bedside tables, a spacious wardrobe, a long coffee table with drawers along the countertop, a large mirror, a mini fridge, a kettle, a TV, air conditioning. Combined bathroom. Toilet, shower, hair dryer. A spacious balcony.
All equipment is in good condition. Furniture, appliances and interior, of course, are not new, but for us it does not matter, because we spend very little time on vacation in the room. It is worth noting that the mattresses on the beds are comfortable. The room is cleaned daily, bed linen and towels are clean, hot water from the tap at any time of the day, there were no interruptions. The air conditioner also coped with the task without problems. Wi-Fi and in-room safe are chargeable. They were not interested in the cost. There was enough free wi-fi in the hotel lobby. Plus, one of the phones connected to free wi-fi from the balcony of our room. The signal, of course, was already weak. But in order to read the news and log in to social networks, it was enough. Water in individual cups was in the room only on the day of arrival. Then we bought bottled water ourselves.
The hotel has an elevator. But several times we came across the fact that the elevator closes the doors and does not go. But when you click on the floor from which you wanted to leave and on the door opening button, the elevator releases.
Kitchen. A large number of vegetables and herbs. Just sliced and in the form of salads. Grilled vegetables (eggplant, zucchini, tomatoes) were served daily. A variety of cheeses. Olives and olives with different fillers. For breakfast, eggs in different versions, baked tomatoes with cheese, puff pastry with cheese, cabbage or cottage cheese, sausage and sausages (tasteless, but there has always been a problem with this in Turkey), various cereals, balls (breakfast cereals), milk, jam.
It would be nice to diversify the side dishes for dinner (there was one at lunch). Almost every day there was rice for dinner, sometimes bulgur, once there was spaghetti and a couple of times potatoes. But this fact was compensated by various stewed vegetables. There were fish quite often. There was chicken every day, but it was also delicious, grilled. There was also a stew with vegetables. Liver with mushrooms.
Drinks. Tea (tastes like tea with an elephant from Soviet times), coffee (from a coffee machine, but tastes more like coffee from disposable bags). Cola, Sprite, Fanta. Orange, apple, cherry juices from the vending machine (similar to Zuko or Jupi, very sweet). From free alcohol: beer, raki, vodka, whiskey, gin, wine.
Yes, sometimes there were not quite clean plates, but it was not a problem to take another one, and give this one to the waiter.
The waiters work in two shifts. Everyone is friendly and helpful. But special thanks to the evening shift (Ahmed, Aprak and Mariam). They always helped to bring food to the table, friendly, empty dishes are immediately removed from the table. There was a situation where we needed to buy coffee as a gift, but we did not find it in the surrounding shops. In the evening, they asked the waitress where they could buy it. Ordered for us through a local online store. The next day they brought us an order, everything is honest, with a receipt.
I would also like to mention DJ Khan. There was always very pleasant music. There's a live performance on Saturday. As a gift for us, Khan performed a song in Russian, which is very pleasant.
There is a shop within a 1-minute walk from the hotel. Strawberries, cherries, peaches, nectarines, apricots were taken from this store. The prices are inexpensive. You can also take a beer to the beach there.
A hotel employee takes vacationers to the beach from 8 to 16 every two hours in an old minibus. At 18:10, he arrives at the beach for the last time of the day and takes vacationers to the hotel. It takes a maximum of 5 minutes to get to the beach. They did not walk themselves, but according to observations, people have already trodden paths along which the path on foot can be shortened.
The beach is equipped with sun beds with soft mattresses, umbrellas and small tables. There is a toilet, you can also change clothes in it. There is a lot of space there and it is quite clean.
There is a small shell rock with small pebbles near the shore, when you step into it, your feet fall through and it's hard to go in and out. But then there is a smooth and sandy bottom.
On the beach, you can take water from the cooler, juices and coffee for free. We brought food and drinks to the beach with us. No comments were made to us about this. Although last year, we were vacationing at another hotel, and a beach employee made comments if they brought something with them, insisted that we should buy from them.
We were satisfied with the rest. Nice 3* hotel.
The sea is very far away, it is inconvenient to ride a scooter to the sea, since the road is very bad. The staff always stares intently, without taking their eyes off. The shower was broken, the batteries in all the remotes were gnawed and did not work. All the time I have to go down and solve some problems, the sheets are old and worn out. The food is terrible, old, the same for several days in a row, only with different sauces. The new food is not very tasty and not fresh, and the desserts seem to have been made a week ago. Baking is promised in the schedule from 16 to 17 o'clock, but in fact it turns out to be a plate on the far table with stale, tasteless small buns in the amount of 5 pieces. In general, it's a complete trash, I haven't seen this anywhere else. Of the advantages, it is worth noting that towels are changed every day, and the floor in the room is cleaned. There is a tubbed tent with a shower on the beach, which is inconvenient. There are vending machines with coffee and juices, which do not always work. According to the schedule, a person should be there until 18 o'clock, but leaves at 15 and closes the vending machines. The umbrellas above the sun beds are rusty, old, and always fall down. The plastic cups near the vending machines are in very poor condition.
С 16 по 30 июля моя семья «отдыхала» в «Side legend hotel».
Давайте рассмотрим все минусы и плюсы, и каждый для себя решит, стоит ли посещать этот отель.
«-»:
1. Еда однообразная, за две недели приедается. На завтрак ни каш, ни творога, ни йогуртов, ни нормального масла. Это даже маргарином не назовёшь, какой-то комбижир. На обед всегда макароны, рис и овощи. 1 вид мяса, если повезёт. За 2 недели нахождения в этом отеле, нам ни разу не подали рыбу. Салаты все однотипные - овощные, только порезаны по-разному. На ужин, то же самое, что и на обед. Соки пить невозможно, сильно ядреные, скорее всего порошковые, приходится разбавлять водой. Автоматы с кофе не работают. У всей семьи после недели такого питания случилось расстройство желудка, приходилось ходить есть в соседние кафе.
2. В номере не работал кондиционер, а просто дул, как вентилятор. Из-за этого переселялись 5 раз.
3. Расписание автобусов неудобное: в 10, 12, 14, 16, 18. 2 часа на пляже - это мало! Сам же автобус очень маленький, а людей набивается много, кондиционеры в автобусе тоже не работают, соответственно, стоит невыносимая жара.
4. Пляж ОЧЕНЬ грязный, по всюду валяются окурки, бумажки, пивные бутылки и тд. Дети могут порезать ноги .Зонты приходится ставить самим, и их мало. Этим должен заниматься дежурный. Но вместо этого, он слоняется по пляжу без дела, пристает ко всем, и ещё просит за установку зонтов 7 евро, хотя это его работа! Мне кажется, глупее человека я в жизни не видела, просто примат без шиша в голове.
5. Лифт ломался очень часто. Ходили жаловаться на ресепшн, а там пожимали плечами, и когда лифт все-таки починили я застряла. Выключился свет и мне пришлось стоять в полной темноте минут 5, кнопка вызова не работала. В итоге, через минут 10 лифт поехал.
6. Wi-Fi нету, на ресепшене предлагают подключить премиум, 3 евро в день. Это дорого, учитывая, что вайфай только на территории отеля, и то, ловит ни везде.
И ещё конечно очень много недочетов, например: нету стаканов с ручкой, и непонятно, как брать горячие напитки, бассейн, который не чистят, а просто закидывают хлоркой, из-за этого щиплет все тело, разъедает лицо и тд.
«+»:
1. Номер был чистый, убирали каждый день.
2. Водитель автобуса не опаздывал, приезжал четко по расписанию.
Наверно, это все плюсы.
Вообщем, я считаю, что отель плохой. На 4 звезды не тянет точно, видимо, все отзывы купленные. Для посещения семьей не рекомендую!!!!
