Reviews
We enjoyed an October half-term holiday here. The weather was a major plus: it was still wonderfully warm and sunny, with only one day of rain throughout our stay.
Accommodation and Amenities-
The hotel overall is nice, offering spacious rooms (including our own balcony). The location is perfect, situated right on the beach, and the property features three large pools. For relaxation and activity, the hotel also provides a spa, disco, shop, and hairdresser.
Food and Dining (A Major Highlight)
There is plenty of variety to cater to any dietary requirements. Crucially, food is available 24 hours a day. We arrived late and were extremely grateful to find a full offering of chips, pizza, and burgers available—a lifesaver after a long journey.
Entertainment and Activities
The general entertainment could be improved slightly, but the dance show was good.
Important Local Context & Logistics-
We noted that the destination caters heavily to German and Russian tourists. Most of the staff speak German or Russian (we were told approximately 90% of guests are German), and this is true of the local markets outside the hotel as well.
Essential Cash and Currency Advice:
All prices are in Euros (€), and cash is king outside the hotel.
Bring cash with you, as it is preferred everywhere. Fortunately, there is a cash machine located just outside the hotel premises.
Sightseeing Tip:
If you plan to visit the beautiful Side old town, local buses are easily accessible. A helpful tip for the return journey: look for the bus that has the name of the Cesar hotel written on the side door to ensure you're catching the correct route back to the hotel.
Overall: This was a comfortable, well-catered, and relaxing holiday.
The restaurant area was infested with flies, on the food (which was completely uncovered) and on tables. I squashed six per meal on our table.
We will not be visiting again.
The sea and beach was lovely.
Coffee low quality. Nescafé desk only opened part time.
One juice dispenser gave me an electric shock.
Housekeeping and front desk staff were very polite and helpful.
I decided not to share the photos of the vomit and diarrhea as it's too shocking.
Lift had vomit next to it one day, maybe others suffering too.
Thanks for greatful vacation.
beautiful swimming pools. Class 3 food. The hotel is for Russian people only. Most of it is for Russian people. Russian theater. No art or circus. Only Russian is Russian. For me, it is not convenient for me, but it is beautifu
