We stayed at the hotel in early May, we really liked everything.
Pleasant, unobtrusive service, mostly Germans, Poles, Swedes relax, the rooms are clean, new, the water goes out quickly in the shower, but the water pressure is weak.
Food is not to say that there are some intricate dishes and amazing tastes, but there is always something to eat and try + there are always fresh fruits and vegetables. There is no dietary food at all - in the sense of boiled / steamed.
There is a gym - almost always empty, the pool was not heated in May (I do not know if it is heated in principle), and at a temperature of 23-25 ° it was quite fresh and therefore empty.
There were not very many people on the beach, because the beginning of the season, the sun beds are all new and OK, but at 18 the beach was closed (although at about 19-19:30 you can safely get to any other beach and swim in the dark).
Cocktails at the bar are rather peculiar variations on the theme of cocktails, we don't drink much, we tried a couple, but it doesn't taste like that at all. Beer, wine were ok.
No one asks for tips, but if desired, there are boxes for them everywhere and you can leave them if you liked everything.
In the lobby of the hotel there are several tables and an improvised library, probably from the books that the guests left, there is not much Russian.
According to animation, we did not participate, but every day there are gymnastics, pingpong, quizzes in the evenings / Turkish evenings / Latin American dances/etc. The program is probably the same every week. In terms of noise, everything was fine with us for the first three days, everything stopped until 22:30-23. But in reading something, the guys broke up in earnest and the party lasted until 12, it was just unpleasant, tk took place under the windows literally, the next day the same playlist (1in1) played until 23. In general, if there is a variety of hanging out for the purposes, then this is not really here, here is a light animation option.
New 4* 16+ hotel without children, all inclusive, on 2 lines 2km from Side along the promenade. Good service and food, but the choice will be small, imported drinks for a fee, local included. We tried not to repeat the dishes, there were different hot ones, there was 1 type of grilled fish, the meat was mostly stewed.
In the snack in June, there were waffles and ice cream by the hour, pizza was made, but it was possible to order. Cocktails are some good and delicious desserts with Turkish baklava.
There is a kettle with coffee and tea in the room.
The staff try hard and almost everyone knows or understands Russian.
The hotel is compact, with a minimum of territory, but not urban.
The beach is 5 minutes away, but there is no free hotel bar on the beach, which is familiar to many, since the hotel rents part of the beach from the beach restaurant and in the evening the Alremi disco bar. There is a pointer and Zeugma sunbeds will be with blue mattresses.
The guys from the bar bring drinks to the beach, but not strictly for the drink sun beds.
It should be borne in mind that on the 1st line there are beaches of large 5* hotels. On the right, through a rope, the beach of the Raga Hotel with beige sun beds for Raga visitors.
and on the left is the beach of a large 5* Side Star hotel. The bar staff look at the bracelets at the entrance and they don't have different touts.
Animation every day for an hour -dancing-music, karaoke, 2 guys are trying to create a sociable atmosphere on the principle of German hotels and offered to participate in karaoke and lambada-type dances. And acrobats invited the guys 1 time a week (they also come to the Alremi bar) and girls with belly dancing. They offer to go to a disco and to one beautiful more spacious beach club in Kumkei.
The hotel has a lobby bar with an outdoor terrace + hookah, a SPA, a beauty salon with a hairdresser and barber, a few exercise machines.
Luggage can be weighed for 2 euros, there is a luggage room, an optics salon and a minimarket.
I stayed at this hotel in April. I liked everything .Very nice guys meet at the reception. The hotel is clean. New. Rooms with a comfortable bed. Slippers, a beach bag. You can ask for bathrobes. The beach is close in five minutes. I really want to come back, but in September the price is three times higher. So it's only a year later. I forgot about the food. Everything is delicious.
