Beach area
Considering the numerous photos of Side and Dynasty 3 * (Turkey), it is difficult to conclude about the beach located near the hotel complex. Therefore, we decided to highlight this issue.

By dinner, she becomes very warm, which the kids like.

Also, Russians complain about the lack of animation and entertainment at the hotel. But other guests attribute these facts in time to the advantages of the hotel. They are pleased that during their rest they are surrounded by peace and quiet. Our tourists are happy with the clear sea, a good beach and polite staff who are trying their best to learn Russian.
