We vacationed for the second time in Side Kervan from 09.09-30.09.23. Since we took the tour in advance, the transfer was not included, it was difficult to get there, not knowing the language, it was difficult to communicate with the local population, so we do not recommend taking a tour without a transfer. We arrived at the hotel at 9 o'clock in the morning, the reception recommended that we go for breakfast, since the rooms had not yet been cleaned and check-in would be later. As a result, at 11.30 we received a standard room, with a view of the sea and the pool, as stated. The room has a refrigerator, TV, split system, hairdryer, safe (for a fee) The food is excellent, you never left hungry - a variety of salads, hot seasonings, herbs and just cherry tomatoes, sliced cucumbers and very tasty lightly salted ones, which were sorted out in no time ") Meat of various preparations and even barbecue, fish was only twice in 22 days. Fruits included watermelon, melon, grapes of 2 types, cakes of 10 types, every other day cakes, beautifully decorated and very tasty. Drinks include 4 types of Jupi, Sprite, cola, tea, coffee, cappuccino, etc. milk, kefir, yoghurt daily. Strong drinks - beer, red wine, white wine, vodka, gin, rum, whiskey. From 10 a.m. to 11 p.m., the bar is free; at afternoon tea from 4-5 p.m. you could have a snack with puff pastries and various confectionery products. The staff is polite, some speak good Russian. Tables are immediately cleaned and wiped with antiseptic, so there were always empty seats, which in the restaurant, which is under a canopy. Special thanks to chef Ahmed and his staff, who constantly monitored the order on the serving tables, waiters Emre, Ami, Kamran, bartender Akbar, for their cheerful disposition and contact with vacationers. There are 70 rooms in the hotel, mostly Germans, Poles, English, Russians, but this did not stop anyone from relaxing. The rooms were clean, they were cleaned daily, two bottles of water every day, towels were changed daily, although we did not have time to use them, and we asked not to change the bed sheets every day, but only the pillowcases. A big hello to the maid Fatima, who cleaned room 303) By the way, all three of them are called Fatima. The hotel manager is a very polite and helpful person, loves children and never walked by without a greeting and a smile, which our grandson really liked. If you are looking for a relaxing holiday and it doesn’t matter that there is no animation, then go HERE. The hotel has its own beach, but it is taken away in the morning, after breakfast, and picked up at 16:00 and, in order not to miss lunch, vacationers are forced to walk in the heat for 35-40 minutes, through the ancient city. There is a rented beach, about 7 minutes from the hotel along the embankment, to the right, there are enough sunbeds, umbrellas, the water is clean, but we preferred to go straight to the embankment, and since we didn’t need sunbeds, we left a bag with a towel on the table (which is not prohibited) and swam to the buoys, where the water is amazing and clean and there are people not as much as near the shore. I recommend Side, since for 10 years in a row we have chosen only this resort town, where there is something to see and the entire infrastructure is accessible even by bus
