We had a vacation in July 2024. The hotel is small, urban type. There is no animation. There is no disco, they turned on the music, without presenters, dance by yourself. A table reserved for guests in a restaurant is not a bad idea when fully loaded. Very large rooms, clean!

We had a vacation in August 2024, a year has passed, but I still regret that we went to this hotel. The price-to-leisure ratio, plus the attitude of the staff towards the guests, is absolutely out of line. I don't understand why there are so many positive reviews. This is a budget 4 for the price of a decent 5. I strongly advise against it!!!

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.

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.

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👍

Hello. The hotel, I thought, was big. My mother was with me, she still did not understand how and which floor to go up to her room. Since we are 3 girls, we were comfortable in the room. Indeed, the shower is behind a curtain, and the toilet is behind a non-transparent glass door. The room itself is large, the safe is free, the loggia is spacious and there was a clothes dryer on it. The beds are comfortable, the double bed is also comfortable with the same mattress. The room is cleaned daily except Thursday. We arrived at 7 a.m. They immediately sent us to breakfast, they assigned a table number there, ours was on the highway, they chose it themselves. The table number already meant the room number. We had 259, on the 2nd floor, the windows overlooked the golf course and the stage. We didn't go to bed early, so the noise didn't bother us. At 10 we were already settled for free. On the 2nd floor there is a spa, hammam, gym, worked until 19:00. the slides are good and large, they worked all 2 hours. That was enough time, there were no queues. Food, as everywhere in Turkey, everything is in abundance. Drinks: coffee, tea is available in the vending machine, there is brewed. The waiters bring alcohol for lunch and dinner themselves, whatever you want. There are 3 more bars on site, lobby, on the pool and near the stage. There is also a beach bar. We didn't eat on the beach, but there is a snack there, greens, meat, salads, tea, coffee, any alcohol, juices and sodas. The beach is sandy, the entrance to the sea is comfortable, there were enough sun loungers and mattresses for everyone. The road to the sea is good, a 5-minute walk through the underpass. There are a lot of shops and shops near the hotel on the right. They took rubles in cash. If you walk from the hotel to the left for 15-20 minutes, there is a 1 liter exchanger. it costs 3.20. In stores, they accept everything in dollars, euros and rubles. It's cheaper in lira. Not by much. We were in migros, we didn't like it, it looks like the nearest store near the house. Someone went to Novo supposedly for free from the tour operator.

I really liked the hotel, we went at the end of May, when the hotel was not yet fully filled, so the restaurant and the beach were free. The room is spacious, cleaned every day. The food was delicious, there was a lot of varied food. We got to the Turkish national holiday-the chef prepared an ice cream cake, then there was a concert with a performance by the national team. The staff is friendly.

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.

We stayed at this hotel this year, from May 24 to May 31, 23.The hotel is very large, clean, cleaned well, the staff is friendly. As we found out, the hotel was closed during the ko view for 3 years and only this spring it was opened, so there were few people, there was no animation, the slides were closed, and the food was 2+.But:we were checked in immediately upon arrival (10 a.m.), and also complimentfully extended the check-out for 2 hours and fed free breakfast upon arrival and lunch upon departure. I will say separately about shopping tours, to which you will be taken for free, but the goods will be 3-4 times more expensive than their cost in the supermarket.Therefore, take your time with shopping, but first look around and go shopping, where the price of the product is written. It was also hard to find and buy fruits and berries, they don't sell them on every corner here. But when we found the store, the taste of pineapple and melon turned out to be just awesome.

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.

The rooms were cleaned every day. The staff is friendly. 3 swimming pools, clean and warm. The slides are great. Entering the sea is sand. There were always enough sun beds, you don't even need to borrow them. Close to the hotel, good infrastructure. In general, everything is fine!

We rested with a family of 3 people from 01.07.23 to 12.07.23 The hotel is new or renovated. The rooms are perfectly clean, not a hint of mold in the shower and new linen. Separate towels for the shower and for the beach. The room has a safe, hairdryer, refrigerator, loggia with outdoor furniture and dryer. The air conditioner is stationary + a ceiling fan. The room is cleaned daily. The staff is friendly, they understand English and Russian. The contingent is Russians, Slovaks, Poles and Germans. The beach is a 5-minute walk away, clean and free at any time. The hotel has practically no territory, but a chic promenade area along the sea, which is the main advantage of Side, unlike Kemer and Belek. Each room has a table in the restaurant, which is unusual and pleasant! There is no fuss during meals and vacationers pile on themselves more modestly, since the half-eaten is not impersonal, but flaunts on the table with your number. The food is monotonous, but there is everything, fish, turkey, chicken, and beef. Every day for lunch and dinner. There are practically no desserts, which is surprising for Turkey. There is no baklava, no lukuma, no cakes, nothing with nuts. Fruits are only watermelon and oranges. In bars, beer, white, pink and red wine are of one kind, the only kind of whiskey, gin and vodka. There are no snacks, no snacks. Food is strictly three times a day at the allotted time + hour, from 15.30 to 16.30 - cookies and tea. Ice cream 3 times a week at 15.00. Whoever managed it, tried it. Breakfast is very poor. The animation is weak. Conclusion! If you come not to eat or drink, then a great hotel for your money! Rooms, beach, cleanliness, staff, slides and pools are firmly 5 points. Food and drinks 3 points. Considering that there is a hammam, a court and billiards, I put a total of 4 stars. The disadvantages were compensated by buying sweets, nuts, fruits and chips in the store. Migros, pharmacies, an exchange office and shopping are within walking distance. The Internet in the lobby and in the rooms is quite decent. Have a good rest, everyone.

We are currently vacationing at the hotel since 07/22/2023. We have already been to Turkey and there is something to compare this hotel with. The hotel was recommended by the travel agency, we looked at the reviews ( rating 4-4.4 ). Moreover, of all the budget fives, this was the highest rating. 5 stars - logically cool, before that they were in "4". But sometimes, as it turns out, "4" is better than "5". We arrived at the hotel at 22.00 hours, they said go have dinner, everything was closed, not a single person. Later, they found three open boxes in the dining room: tasteless sausage, cheese and some pastries. We realized that the service was no longer very good. The stated area of the rooms does not correspond to reality. For "5" the room is small, without a bathroom.the node is 25 square meters, but san.node and is not included in this area. The air conditioning is not bad. The food is not to say that it is completely bad, but at "4" for sure, the rating of the hotel is low by five levels. There are a lot of salads, sauces and cheap pastries (chicken, meat, sausages, nuggets, pasta, rice and fried vegetables, sometimes they give red fish, but mostly I couldn't determine the usual name.) from fruits : watermelon, orange, apples, melon and that's all from fruits. Basically everyone ate French fries, nuggets. Any drinks, but of low quality: such as an invite, hot chocolate, any coffee, etc. in coffee machines. The rest is already "piece by piece". The food is of the same type and repetitive and begins to bother after about seven days. Flies often fly on sliced watermelon, sometimes ants crawl. The worst disadvantage of the hotel animation is the "3", and maybe it does not reach it either. You can only drink beer; wine, etc., of very poor quality. For example, we bought an inexpensive wine in the store - Cava classic, it is 100% better than in a restaurant. There is no beach of its own, this is a lie, only sun beds, everyone walks by, they just don't use them. Of the advantages, there are always sun beds, next to the hotel bar. The pool is very large, and there are several more, good slides, even scary. It is necessary to walk to the sea, not very far, but for "5" it is again a minus. Upon arrival, there is no service in the room for "5" according to standards even for Turkish hotels: there were no slippers, a sewing kit, in fact three people, but there was no third glass, no plates, forks, spoons, shampoo, only liquid soap, etc. And now attention - the paid iron is in the "5" hotel. The room is cleaned for 4, but the dust is not cleaned everywhere. In lobby bars and in the evening at discos, which actually do not exist, everything is poured, but there are no snacks, and nowhere, this is again saving, the beach and pools are closed at 19.00 hours, there is no water on the beach anymore., Moreover, if you did not manage to pass from the back entrance back to the hotel you will have to go from the main entrance, since the doors are already closed at 19.00. The hotel was mostly occupied by Poles and Croats, 10% of Russians. When prices start to decrease, Russians come to the hotel, the hotel is never fully loaded, there are a lot of places. Now there are about 50/50 Russians and other foreigners. The slides at the hotel by the pool are open only at lunch, for a few hours, then they are closed. This is the economy of the hotel. Many people leave at night, the lobby bar is already closed, there is no water cooler downstairs, there is a coffee machine, but it also does not work, that's the whole service 5 - stock up on water. From retail outlets, there are a lot of them nearby on both the left and right sides of the hotel (main entrance), but the price tag is high. For groceries, go to the store of Migros networks (such as a Magnet or Pyaterochka, etc. The nearest one is 1.5 km from the hotel, go left from the main entrance at the exit and to the red restaurant on the corner, then turn left and go to the red sign - Migros. It is better to go to Waikiki for things, also in the same direction from the hotel, but go straight to the ring of roads. It is also a good idea to get to Novomol (first to Side bus station, then transfer to Novomol, travel all together 36 lira). There are things at a reasonable price (T-shirts from $ 6, shirts, pants from 290 lira. I do not recommend excursions, July, August are the hottest time, after 10.00 o'clock the sun burns everything. You are only in the shade and drink water. Unless they are nearby and short in time: early in the morning or in the evening. Go to Side or Aspendos yourself. Dolmushi passage: 16 liras in Side, 20 liras between Side and Manovgat. Stop with the letter-D in blue, or wave your hand. Conclusion: the hotel is for people of retirement age and for those who have not been to Turkey. The hotel has its pros and cons. If you have never been to Turkey, you will like it, since our south simply cannot be compared with this hotel, except for elite hotels. I don't recommend it for others. The star rating is 3+ or 4- . Sometimes a solid four is better than a budget five.

Vacation in September 2023. The hotel is large, beautiful, but closed on September 21, because there are few vacationers. Relocated to Berry 5* Sorgun. The food is not delicious in Defne at all, there is no entertainment, there is no transport to the sea - walk up the hill to and fro. The hamam is good, but without massage and other things; one pool was closed, a nice sandy beach with a gradual entrance to the sea is a buzz. Berry turned out to be cooler for the same money, very diverse and delicious food, delicious drinks, entertainment program, only the hamam is bad at all, there is transport to the beach, the hotel is smaller, but the rooms are good, all sorts of extras: shampoo, gel, conditioner, cap, nail file, sponge for shoes, comb, bathrobes and slippers, water and drinks in the refrigerator, the beach is sand with small pebbles, there are plates at the entrance to the sea - you need to go around, sharply deep, fish bite, there are not enough sunbeds.

We stayed at this hotel from June 25 to July 2. I will try to present everything as unbiased as possible. Of the advantages: There is a fairly green area, sun loungers on the grass, which is very cozy There are always sun loungers on the beach, it is already more difficult to find near the pool, but in principle there is also Warm swimming pool, sea Surprisingly delicious wine, usually in hotels it is not There are no paid services. For someone it will be like a plus, and for someone it will be like a minus. I liked that there are no additional divorces in the form of paid freshly squeezed juice, popcorn, which all children whine, etc. The hotel itself is large, very beautiful modern rooms, but now apparently it is not working to the fullest Minuses: Saving on everything On the beach, you need to take a mattress for a chaise longue yourself, and there is a warning that these mattresses themselves should also be taken back! The same goes for drinks - there is a warning to take the glasses back to the bar. Is it really difficult to allocate an employee to the beach who will deal with mattresses and drinks? Meals three times, no snacks in the form of ice cream, gozleme on the beach, fruits at the bar, etc. If you missed breakfast, you'll be hungry before lunch. For me, this question was quite critical, because I was with a child and it is difficult for him to eat three times a day - he cannot eat so much to then wait for lunch, he periodically needs snacks at least in the form of the same fruits, but they are not there. Back to the issue of nutrition - there are few fruits - only oranges for breakfast, oranges, watermelons, apples, everything for lunch and dinner. There are no nectarines, no melons, and even more cherries. From alcohol, beer, wine, whiskey, gin, like vodka. There is no shamanic, cocktails are mainly made of gin and tonic and burda and juice, syrup and vodka. If you ask to make a mojito, then it will be without lime and mint, apparently they also do not buy it in order to save money. The room had a balcony overlooking a fairly busy road. It's already uncomfortable to sit on the balcony, it's very noisy, and the doors can't be opened either. Slides that work only 2 hours a day in the sun and not at the most convenient time. (From 11:00 to 12:00 and from 14:30 to 16:00) No cheesecakes on the slides. She is alone and double on the steepest slide (I rode alone everywhere and on this slide you could only ride together, which is not very convenient), on the other slide you had to ride cheesecakes, and there are only 3 of them! For the whole hotel. I asked how to find a cheesecake, they told me to catch those who just rolled down the hill and ask them to take a cheesecake. Well, it's just not serious for five stars. There are no Ala Card restaurants at all. It seemed very strange to me too, I didn't even think to check this before choosing a hotel, it seemed to me that it was just everywhere. Do not hide that it is a vital thing, but rest still brightens up - a change of scenery, an excuse to go out beautiful to a restaurant and change the usual dinners in the hotel restaurant. It takes 5-10 minutes to walk to the sea, not like they say "just go through the crossing". Room cleaning is not every day, why don't they have cleaning on Thursday at all. That is, something happened in your room, you need to clean it urgently, there will be no cleaning. All cleaners have a day off on Thursday. They change towels only once every 7 days, which is also the official policy of the hotel. The hotel was opened for the first year after covid, and it seemed that the management decided to save on everything, which is not very pleasant, because it feels, and it is very unusual for Turkey. That is, it's elementary, well, you won't spend much money on giving out fruits not only at lunch, but also in between meals at the bar. Well, you buy cheesecakes at the water park, run the slides for longer than 2 hours a day. This is the first hotel that I will definitely never return to and will not recommend it to others. I paid 240 thousand for a vacation for three people, I think this is a very overpriced price At the same time, I am not a very picky vacationer who will find fault with the fact that my floors were poorly washed in my room, or a chicken was fried at lunch, but there are things that are simply present in any five-star hotels, and then they were "squeezed". In the first days of the holiday, the mood was just under zero and there was an idea just to book another hotel for your money and go there, but we decided to stay anyway

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

Knowing for sure that you are in Turkey in 2023, it is still surprising that everyone here has switched to euros and dollars.Marshrutchiki blindly ask for money in euros, representatives of travel agencies too. Let's walk through the hotel, which positions itself as a five-star hotel. Everything works, the staff is polite and correct as everywhere in Turkey, the family room is simply huge. Food: delicious, but the choice is meager, with the cheapness of meat in Turkish supermarkets, for example, we did not see lamb in this hotel, basically everything is chicken and turkey, beef, if it happens, then only in the form of goulash. Sometimes at lunch they give tolya a large smoked or baked fish, which lies exactly 15 minutes, those who came later observe the fish skeleton :) The bars have excellent cocktails and fresh Efes beer. White and red wine, dry, (cheap of course) table wine, wash down the cutlet:), it is dry, and not semi-sweet as in other Turkish hotels. The Internet is very slow and not in the whole area. The animation is weak. The water slides in the water park are open only from 11 to 12 and from 14 to 15 days, and this is during peak season, there is one double cheesecake and four simple ones for the entire water park. The beautiful sandy beach on the sea from the hotel has small umbrellas, you constantly have to move the sun beds to be in the shade. There is no Internet on the beach. There are always drinks, there is no snack. Everything is cool, I won't go to Antalya anymore :)

It's not bad, the appearance is gorgeous, but it doesn't pull for 5! It's a pity! There is not even toothpaste, shampoos and toothpicks in the room! It's a small thing, but 5 should be 5 to the smallest detail! This is my opinion. There has never been seafood at all, I really don't like them, but my husband and child have lost this, expectations have not been fulfilled! I understand that of all the 5, this is the cheapest, but still!

Nice family hotel. Sandy beach is an excellent bar nearby. The rooms are clean and modern. 3 pools, slides. Minus one star due to the fact that the site indicates that the beach is nearby , but it takes 5-7 minutes to go there, plus food for 4 stars.

The hotel is not a five or even a four. It is clear that once not a little money was invested in it. But now the hotel is only depressing. There are few staff - the same at the reception and in the restaurant . There is only one bar on the ground floor - there is no choice of drinks at all. I don't think they've heard about juice there at all. I won't say about alcohol - we don't use it, but there is no choice. The second pool bar is the same emptiness. The third one near the beach is not even a bar. There are three bottles and a machine with carbonated drinks. A restaurant is not a restaurant, but rather a dining room. Each number is assigned its own number. They don't let you move to another table. Tablecloths don't change the whole race. There are almost no napkins on the tables. There is no service as such at all. There's trouble with food. In the restaurant, the choice is very poor. Mostly fast food- there is almost no normal food. There are few vegetables, watermelon from fruits. There are salads, vegetables - but there is no choice. From hot fish, meat sometimes, chicken., but there are no side dishes. There is no food at all by the pool- cookies and that's it. On the beach aealogically- drying and cookies. Water is provided only in the rooms by a bottle a day. There is no more bottled water. If you want to drink, go to the cooler with a bottle. The room is large, with a balcony. One of the few advantages of the hotel. But the cleaning is generally disgusting - sand, dirt. The bed linen was changed once in 10 days . And then they put one set in fuel oil- they were looking for a cleaner for half a day to change. Towels are given out immediately for the whole holiday, 2 pcs per person. With grief, they knocked them out so that we could change them once. The staff is generally a song. Nobody cares about you. A separate topic is guides from Anex. I have never seen such contempt from the agency staff. It seems that they were sent to this hotel as punishment. The hotel has terrible savings. The lights were constantly turned off. At night they turned off the air conditioning of the rooms - sometimes they forgot to turn it on during the day. Turned on only after persistent complaints. The territory of the hotel is small - three swimming pools. But the rooftop pool was closed, although the season, the end of August. Not a bad roller coaster for such a hotel. The territory is unkempt- the plants and lawn are withered. Of the advantages- the sea, a good beach. It takes about seven minutes to walk to the beach along the passage. The entrance to the sea is flat. There are a lot of sun beds. There is a tennis court, not bad rockettes. There have been many places, in different hotels, but this one is the only one that I do not recommend at all

A good hotel, spacious, cleanly maintained territory, friendly staff, rooms were cleaned daily, but with food for 5 it does not pull for 4, maybe because the hotel is loaded by 30 percent with vacationers.In principle, there was enough food, there was variety.We had a rest from May 27 to June 3, 2023.

We are currently resting at this hotel (05/27/2023). I must say right away, this is our visit to Turkey with a child, 14 or 15. Before the pandemic, there were ONLY ultra all-inclusive hotels, but prices are rising, and it has become unaffordable. And in 2023, prices are going through the roof. That's why we chose this hotel. In principle, everything is fine, and the room is brand new, and the cleaning is good, the furniture in the restaurant is new. We timed it to be exactly 5 minutes to walk to the beach. There is no smell on the way. Well, there is no animation here, from the word at all, but we don't really need it, we walk around the city, a great promenade. The beach is beautiful, the sand is up to the buoys. In general, everything would be fine if it weren't for the food. This is a nightmare! For the third day now, we have been fed one chicken for dinner! Yes, well, and fried sausage))) apples and oranges from fruits. They say this is because the hotel is from the economy category. Then why 5 stars? Where they write in the reviews that the food is great - don't believe it, it's a lie.

There is a lot to choose from, the bar also has a good selection, everything is clean and the service is on the level. But do not agree to free shopping in any case! You will be aggressively bred for money and will even humiliate your dignity. We spent the whole day in vain, it's better to go to the sea.

09/10/2023 we returned from the Defne Defne Side hotel. Let's take it all in order. At the beginning it is positive: the check-in is fast, one card is given to the number, but if you ask, they will give you a second one. The hotel itself is quite large, there are many elevators. Very comfortable beds and bed linen. Excellent sandy beach with a smooth entrance to the sea. There are a lot of sun beds by the sea and the pool, but when we were there, the hotel was less than half full. The pools are clean enough. That's where the advantages ended. Now about the negative: There is absolutely no animation in the hotel, and there are no evening performances either. No one will take care of your children. The food is disgusting. There may be no ordinary fried eggs and pancakes for breakfast. If you eat with children, then this will be a real problem to feed them. Lunches and dinners are very meager. There is no variety of dishes. Everything is terribly not tasty. The gate through which you can go to the underground pedestrian crossing leading to the sea is closed at 19:00. And if after that time you want to go to the sea, then you will have to go around and walk about 400 m more than during the day. Towels and bed linen are changed once a week. They clean every day, but not very efficiently. There are no snacks in the hotel, except for one from 15-30 to 16-30 small cakes are not edible. I only give stars for a great beach and pool.

The hotel looks amazing! Very beautiful, not yet worn, with such architecture it should be rocking, BUT! The staff is successful. Towels are not changed, rooms are not cleaned, beds are not made! Eating is just disgusting! Solid fast food, for breakfast lunch and dinner the same thing A successful woman is sitting at the reception, who, having done nothing yet, already wants to "thank you $" and not in lira, but exclusively in euros! (Blonde with disgusting lipstick) 10 minutes to the beach The beach is small and dirty. Beachboy comes only at 8 a.m. and starts cleaning it. The bar on the raincoat is generally one name , just a table and a few bottles on it There is no volleyball of its own (

I had a rest in June 2024. The hotel is not bad, it's old. On the plus side, you have a table fixed behind you, no one gets hooked. The queue in the dining room is full. Family, children all around, the screeching of mothers and their children. Children are tiring.. I do not advise anyone who already has adult children. Animation is also only for children, no!!?

The animation program is very diverse, but it's not always pleasant when the music is playing to the fullest

We were at this hotel from July 17th to July 25th.After reading the bad reviews, we were afraid to go, but the hotel surpassed all our expectations at first glance, after reading the bad reviews.Food: breakfast,lunch, dinner.The restaurant has everything, many types of meat:chicken, turkey, beef, always in different variations.French fries almost every day are sometimes replaced by rustic potatoes (very tasty) .A whole island with cold snacks, where you can also find absolutely everything.Tortillas, pizzas, Pasta of several types.Unfortunately, only watermelon, oranges and apples are among the fruits, but we ate watermelons every time, which were insanely sweet and we had enough.There are a lot of sweets, as many as 2 tables, what I liked were puddings.From drinking: juice machine,soda machine,coffee and tea machine.Moreover, all these vending machines are located throughout the territory, you can drink at any time of the day.Only sometimes the soda machines didn't work.So there is enough food for everyone, it is the same every day, but there is a lot of variety of dishes, so we ate very, very much and tasty.There is a table attached to each room in the restaurant, which is very convenient.What about snacks? They were.At 15:30, there was a variety of cakes + fruits by the pool in the bar.And on the beach, in the beach bar, if you stayed there and did not go to the restaurant for lunch, then at 13:00 food is brought there (French fries, chicken, vegetables, etc.) and you can also eat.Cookies and cakes are also served on the beach at 15:30.In general, we did not stay hungry.Ice cream was also served by the pool on Monday, Wednesday and Friday! Number. We got a room with a sea view, very beautiful, clean.there are a lot of shelves, seats, everything is comfortable.Personally, the toilet with a shower did not cause us any inconvenience.The door to the toilet closes, there is a curtain in the shower.They cleaned almost every day, towels were changed very often, towels are very comfortable, large and soft.There are both beach and home ones.The beach is not very big, but there is enough space for everyone.The sea is high, warm and clean, even when the waves are. Some staff do not even communicate in English, but it is good that they know the basic terms that are needed in a given situation.Yusein at the reception is a very kind guy and funny😂As for the employees of anex tour in the hotel itself, we did not like it, just to sell excursions, but they can't really help. The hotel is huge, with beautiful architecture, you can get lost.There are a lot of elevators and each one leads to a different point.Two pools, one where everyone swims, the other 18+ where it's quiet and no one swims.There are also 2 pools with slides.The slides are normal, there is one scary one, the others are ordinary.Cheesecakes are really few, but is it difficult for you to wait? The slides are open from 11:00 to 12:00 and from 14:30-16:00, very convenient hours, just after lunch. Animation very often the hotel invited different groups, showed various interesting shows, it was very fascinating and cool.And as for the internal animation of the hotel, it's not very good.Of course, there are darts, water polo, water aerobics, at certain hours, which run for a maximum of 20 minutes.In the evenings it is boring, if no team arrives, then after the minidisko the hotel falls silent.The animator girls go and just collect music to turn on the background.There was karaoke once, we laughed and sang.But no one really came out, so it was boring. There are many tents behind the hotel, no matter where you go, left, right, you will find everything you need.We went on an excursion to Turkish Disneyland from Anex tour, it costs $104.I liked everything very much, except for the abnormal heat. Result: If you are a normal, non-picky person who needs 2 types of potatoes, 3 types of pasta, almost 7 types of eggs, 4 types of meat, then you will like everything!

We were in early June, everything is great, there are few people. By the end of June, there were a lot of people, queues at the restaurant and the food became worse (everything delicious was quickly sorted out). The rooms are nice, large, we had a sea view (minus the cocks). The territory is nice, well maintained, everything is in flowers, clean. Drinks are everywhere
