About the settlement

Populate not instantly, they divide vacationers. If you arrive early in the morning, you will have to wait until 2 pm. Visitors are given bracelets, luggage can be left at the reception and immediately go to breakfast, and then walk around the hotel.

About rooms

The rooms on the 4th floor (with beveled ceiling) are equipped with spacious balconies overlooking the sea, which is a big plus for those who like to enjoy the night sea view.

In the rooms on the first floor, especially if they go out on the road, guests wake up at night from the noise of buses, bringing to the reception of new tourists. In addition, in the morning the gardeners unceremoniously peered into the room, cutting trees under the windows.

To change the number the administration can refuse, motivating them by the lack of vacant seats. Authors of reviews recommend to describe their preferences in advance, even when buying a tour to the hotel.

Some guests talk about poor cleaning of rooms. If you put a note on a dusty TV with a hint that it would be nice to wipe off this dust, the bill may disappear, and the dust may remain.

Family rooms are called cozy. This is a two-room apartment with a double and bunk beds. They have two TVs, two watering cans in the shower. By the downside, holidaymakers call significant audibility of the animation in the evenings, as well as noise from neighboring rooms.

About the sea and the beach

Holidaymakers note that the beaches in Side are usually packed with jam. From the hotel to the sea to walk for about 3-5 minutes. The beach is called good, its surface is covered with yellow sand, the water in the sea is very clear. The beach is shallow, tourists say, which is very convenient for bathing children.

According to reviews, tourists have never seen that the beach was removed. Sunbeds, according to the authors of the reviews, are often occupied by towels, not resting.

About nutrition

Tourists are very satisfied with the food provided at the hotel. According to reviews, in the hotel catering establishments everything is very tasty and in large volumes. As vacationers confess, the hotel does not stint on alcohol in cocktails. Food vacationers are rated at 5 points. The tourists are very grateful to the chef of the hotel, Mr. Erdogann, who is called not only a fine chef, but a charming man.

The authors of the reports say that the hotel can have breakfast and lunch in the main restaurant, in the pool bar, in the lobby bar, in the beach bar.

About excursions

But the future guests of The Xanthe Resort Spa 5 * authors of the reviews are not advised to go on a shopping tour, although it is included in the price. The hotel administration has an arrangement with some shops with very high prices, selling leather jackets, bags, coats, sheepskins, expensive textiles. Instead, tourists are advised to visit the local market, which, according to reviews, has a very large size and a huge selection of high-quality goods that are sold at affordable prices.

About animation

The guests of the hotel The Xanthe consider the animation to be weak. According to the reviews, although the children's room works in the daytime, but children often refuse to go there, because the animators do not entertain them, they do not play games on the streets, but parents simply consider it sacrilege to sit in the room in such weather. Children's playground in the hotel is also not there, parents are divided, "something like that" is available only on the beach. In the evening there is a mini-disco, but children, going there once, also for some reason refuse to attend the event. Adults on the beach languidly offer "boccia" and some other games, evenings sometimes there is live music.

About the contingent

The authors of the reports say that there are few Russians in the hotel, mostly Germans live here, who, as noticed by the residents, like the staff very much. According to reviews, The Xanthe Resort & Spa 5 * is a very quiet hotel, mainly a contingent of vacationers in which are pensioners (Germans or Russian) or parents with children. The number of pensioners of some tourists "strains". Mostly, the guests, once visited the hotel, express their intention to stop again here next time.

Conclusion

In general, the guests of The Xanthe Resort & Spa 5 * reviews about it leave very positive. Many liked the hotel very much. It is called a rather pleasant object of tourism.

The advantages of the hotel include good quality food, comfortable accommodation, high level of service, equipped beach, professionalism of the staff, comfortable comfortable rooms where regular cleaning is carried out, green, clean territory.
