We rested in the hotel from 04.08.24 to 18.08.24 . The hotel fully lived up to expectations. I can't tell you one downside. Rooms are new and very comfortable , everywhere charging , outlets , lights , mini bar was replenished every day with soft drinks , hygienic products all "and rocher " , tea was put 1 dollar a day. The food is varied. Scrambled eggs, Turkish buns, etc. are always prepared for breakfast. You can dine in the main restaurant , on the beach or by the pool. For dinner various meats , seafood , make delicious pasta, chose their table outside and waiter , gave 1 dollar daily , on the third day already knew our preferences and brought drinks himself , regularly replenishing. Bars on the beach , by the calm pool , in the lobby , near the amphitheatre and aqua bar near the active pool/stage. The aqua bar we liked best, here you need to choose your bartender, give him every day a dollar and quality cocktails are provided to you. Two pools. One relaxation, no animation. The second active, with animation, where all the fun takes place, from the morning there is no need to occupy wands. Beach. Sand, at the entrance pebbles, then sand again. 4 rows of wands under communal canopies , no need to borrow from the morning. It's a 5-minute walk from the hotel, the road isn't tense even in the heat. Nearby marine Things to do: banana, boat, etc. You have to haggle and always knock down the price. Special thanks to the animation team (Neo , Asem , Denise and the rest of the guys ) , entertained adults and especially children , always without undue intrusion , on a kind note. P.S. The hotel can safely recommend everything to tourists, even the particularly picky ones. If you still have any questions, please write in your personal messages. Have a nice holiday in Turkey)

Let's start by thanking the hotel staff and Jolly Tur customer representative who helped us enter and exit the hotel. They took us to dinner without keeping us waiting and immediately welcomed us to our room. Even though the room was a little old, the cleanliness and hygiene were very good. I made a reservation with a lake view, they gave me a room with a sea pool and lake view, thank you for this kindness☺️ Towels and sheets were changed regularly. The food is very delicious and has whatever you want. Anyone who says they are hungry here is lying. You ask the waiters for your drink and they bring it immediately. The employees are very dedicated and always make you happy. Thank you very much to all of them. Both poolbars and snackbars have whatever you want at your fingertips. Even though the sea gets deep quickly, it is clean and beautiful. There are two large pools. There are 2 children's pools, one of them is aqua. There are 3 slides for adults. It's pretty fun. However, since the lower pool is surrounded by trees and dense soil, the pool gets a little cloudy in the afternoon. It would be better if it was covered with ceramics. The animation team is super, thank you to all of them. I would especially like to thank Eray and Yavuz 🙋♂️ they took great care of us and were very good at the evening shows and performances. The fire and dancing were great on Friday night. We had so much fun. Price performance hotel. Would I choose it again? Definitely yes. I recommend it to everyone. Thank you megasaray resort side family

A lot to digest? Read an AI-generated summary of recent traveller reviews.
We were in the same hotel last year before the rebranding, so this review is based more on impressions of the changes.
Let's start with cleaning: it is very pleasant and cozy to be on the hotel premises. Everywhere is cleaned, there is no garbage around, the same in the restaurants and in the lobby. I would especially like to mention the interior. The furniture is in good condition and looks stylish when paired with the wall design. The lobby as a whole is a delight with plenty of greenery. The rooms are cleaned well, they can make figures out of towels and artificial flowers. There are no complaints about the quality of washing towels. The minibar is free (as is the safe) and is replenished daily.
The food is good: there are fish and meat days, a grill bar, a children's and diet menu. There are no complaints about this, all the food is fresh and tasty, everyone can find something to their liking. I was also pleased with the dishes - they were clean.
What really pleased me was the animation. Compared to last year, when the hotel had only three animators aimed at Turkish residents, this year it will not be boring. There are many activities throughout the day, from morning training to archery. Don't get bored! I would like to express special gratitude to the most beautiful ladies - Lola and Ezgi! Classes in the pool with them energize you for the whole day! Need food cleaning animation so
We are also pleased with the high-quality free internet throughout the hotel, including the beach, as well as delicious cocktails in the bar!
In general, the holiday left only positive emotions, I want to come back again!

I rested for 10 days alone. We were put in a room with two single beds (it’s not clear why when I’m alone), I asked to be moved. One bed was lower than the other, not comfortable, the mattresses were of different hardness. In the spring of 2023, the hotel was reconstructed, it apparently affected only the reception area, it did not affect the rooms. The rooms are old, the lighting is poor and weak. The cabinets are old, you had to use force to open them, the furniture is stained from age and dampness. The air conditioner leaked periodically; repairs from a repairman took a couple of days. The rooms were very poorly cleaned, hair in the shower was simply smeared on the floor, the balcony was not washed at all. Food: it was very tasty in the grill bar, in the main restaurant you had to look for something more or less tolerable. There is simply a ton of food, large shelves of cheeses and sausages, but almost everything is not tasty. The fruits are also not tasty, melons are odorless and tasteless, watermelons are not sweet, pineapple was tasty, but it was given only once every two or three days. I tried a little alcohol: the draft beer was normal, the white wine was a complete nightmare, the cocktails (pina colada, margarita) were also so-so. A very comfortable foot court area on the beach, the ice cream was very tasty! In general, the kitchen left a bad impression; you can reduce the quantity and improve the quality. The staff service was excellent. Everyone is polite and courteous. But the issue with cleaning was not resolved, as they cleaned up poorly and after the application they cleaned up so poorly. The rooms were also poorly stocked with shampoos and towels. The animation didn't suit me personally. I was in a hot period, the temperature during the day reached 38 degrees + humidity. All daytime animation took place from 11 to 16, at which time it was hard to breathe, let alone play volleyball. The evening programs were the same every day, the same music played every single evening, after a week I was simply tired of it. I liked the musicians who played the piano and sexaphone, who played in the reception area. Wi-Fi was available throughout the hotel, which was very convenient. To summarize, I didn’t like the hotel, the food was not tasty, the room was poorly cleaned and equipped, I didn’t understand the animation, what are the 5 stars?

I always choose a hotel with a good kitchen. Here, too, food is so scarce that if it weren't for the monotonous grilled fish, there would be nothing to eat. There was no seafood. No watermelons, no figs, no grenades. The tongue is boiled and one plate is displayed and no more are brought. Grapes were seen once, one bowl was taken out and there was no more. The hotel is fully loaded and you need to see hungry men running around with empty plates and end up with fries. There's no waiter service at the restaurant, if you don't show up for the opening, it's hard to find a place. Sofas in the restaurant are squashed and dirty. I don't recommend this hotel. And it's not the first line, you have to get out of the hotel and walk 400 meters. The hotel next door drives its guests.

Hotel 5*? Definitely NO. 1. We flew in tonight, dinner till 9:00, 8:45 p.m. We were sent to eat faster, but there was nothing left to eat. The waiters cleaned everything up, the appliances weren't on the tables, and they swarmed with the leftovers of rice and fruit they had time to take. 2.The rooms are nice but very small, especially the bathroom. What room-cleaning-staff is, apparently, unknown at all. Cleaning consisted of changing towels and making the bed (10 days linen was never changed). Sand is everywhere, which means the room wasn't even vacuumed. Often there were dirty dishes on the stairs, something broken/spilled and not cleaned up for days, which also created an unpleasant experience! 3. The minibar had to be replenished every day, drinks + beer. It turns out that the hotel switched to "winter season" and no beer was brought to the minibar, but also replenished it only after you go and ask, swear. 4. Food. There's a lot of it, but it's the same every day. In 10 days, they've been going crazy for this monotony. To our taste, we didn't... The dishes are dirty, there weren't enough appliances on the tables, and the waiters are working so badly. 5. Hotel entertainment is minimal. Which bored me and made me want to go home. 6. The beach is 5 minutes' walk away from the property. The beach itself is nice, the sea is chic, warm! 7. Transfer to and from the airport was at 03:05, we were not even offered food with us, although that day at the hotel was in fact PAID. The staff are completely un-customerized, they don't care about their guests. Bottom line: rested from 16.10-26.10, with the weather lucky, temperature comfortable, hot in the day, sea warm! The pools were cold, not heated, people weren't there much for that. The staff are terribly upset, a spitting attitude I haven't seen in a while. They really don't care. Virtually all requests were ignored. For that kind of money, I expected so much more! This hotel is not recommended.
I'll also add a photo of the iron in the bread at breakfast, the dirty dishes on the floor and the screens of the correspondence with "guest services."

I would like to share my pleasant impressions of my stay at Megasaray Resort Side. We arrived at 7 am, immediately received our bracelets and went to breakfast. While waiting for check-in, we changed into beach clothes, got towels and went to the sea. Walk for about 8 minutes along the lake. The sea is warm and clean, the depth begins immediately at the shore, but the children are already quite big, so it was great. There is a lifeguard constantly on duty on the beach, watching over those diving :) The beach is large, very clean, you could always find 2 free sun loungers nearby on the 1st line, you don’t need to borrow anything anywhere in advance, including by the pools. The children really liked the water slides; there are also staff on duty upstairs and downstairs all the time, keeping a good eye on the children. Therefore, you can safely do, for example, water aerobics, while the children are having fun on the slide. The area is large and very well maintained. The food at the hotel is beyond praise! There is always red fish in the morning, there is always a wide variety of fruits, including on the beach, for lunch and dinner, grilled meat and fish, a lot of different meats and fish in the main restaurant, the desserts are simply fantastic (many thanks to the pastry chefs!). In the afternoon, Algida ice cream of various types in the aquabar. Also ice cream in scoops during the day on the beach, in the evening at the restaurant (there are no queues anywhere, because it is available all day, not a couple of hours). The hotel has a real coffee shop with friendly staff, so you could have great coffee on its own after dinner (Turkish, cappuccino, macchiato, etc.), and they also have great desserts! The bars offer excellent cocktails, wine, beer, and excellent champagne for lunch and dinner. The waiters are friendly, most understand Russian. In the evening there are good dance shows. Megasaray does not skimp on guests; they give their best everywhere! Special thanks to Saadat from gas relations, she was always interested in whether we liked everything, when my son was sick, they unexpectedly brought fruit to the room, it was very pleasant :) I really liked the warm attitude towards Russian guests! For this, special respect to the hotel :)

We visited this hotel at the end of August. We were choosing between a megabarn and a waterside, and ultimately settled on the first. I read reviews on the forum, they were quite contradictory, but we really liked the hotel! However, the move-in didn’t work out very well. We booked a family room, but as a result, the room had two single beds. The girl at the reception said that this is the case in 80% of the rooms and they brought us a folding bed. The area is large and green. Two pools for adults, two pools with small slides for children. You could even find free sun loungers :) The pools have two bars and a food court with food after lunch (shawarma, crumble potatoes, fruit, French fries). It's a five-minute+ walk to the beach, going around the lake near the hotel. There are a lot of sunbeds, entry into the water is good. There is also a bar on the beach where you could have a snack (the order was made through a QR code and a menu - salads, pizza, pastas, etc.). The main restaurant has a very large selection of food: two types of soup, grill, meat, vegetables, snacks, side dishes. There are no complaints about the drinks either. The cocktails are delicious (from the menu, but many ordered mixed drinks separately), ayran in packages, beer, wine, juices in packages and instant juices in vending machines. There are two coffee machines in the dining room. We were only in the cafeteria twice; we had cappuccino and mocha (delicious). We went to dinner at 8 o'clock, and sometimes it was difficult to get a table. The animation is interesting! Every day there is a new show, mostly dancing. On Friday we went to a party on the beach. During the daytime animation we only went to morning gymnastics and darts. The room was cleaned at different times, sometimes in the morning, after breakfast, and sometimes they knocked on our door at lunchtime, at about three o'clock, and it was inconvenient. We lived on the first floor overlooking the hotel entrance. The air conditioning worked without problems. The cosmetic set included shampoo, shower gel, conditioner, body lotion, solid soap, washcloths, cotton swabs and pads. The staff is polite. I can’t say for sure about the contingent, but it feels like the majority of vacationers are Turks and Poles.

Both my son and I are very pleased with our stay at Megasaray. Lots of entertainment, the child played football and learned to play billiards here. The beach is quite comfortable, there were always free sunbeds, even though it was a 500-meter walk to the beach. The food was also okay: of course they didn’t feed us lobsters, but there were a lot of chicken, beef and lamb dishes, there were also plenty of fruits and sweets. Cleaning is daily, beach towels are changed once a day, there were no questions regarding the number. There are three swimming pools on the territory, all beautiful and green. The bartenders are very cheerful guys (it's a pity that all bars close at 24 o'clock). The staff is quite friendly, we became very friendly with a nice girl from the guest service named Saadat, she helped with everything, suggested all the details and nuances about excursions and the surrounding area. It’s a pity that Turkey is becoming so expensive in terms of tours and shopping, but still, I wouldn’t mind coming to this hotel again.

After a long and painful choice, we settled on this hotel; we wanted something family-friendly, calm and of high quality. What can I write after 4 days of staying in this department - the food simply 100 out of 100 exceeded all our expectations, fish of various types, meat, fruits (watermelon, melon, peaches, nectarines, strawberries, apricots, etc.), all kinds of salads, vegetables, sauces and basically everything your heart desires. There are 4 bars on the hotel premises where they make delicious cocktails, there is a bar map, which is very convenient, all types of the most famous cocktails are present in it and even more 😉 You can also ask to do what you want and they won’t refuse you)) We checked into a new clean room, very modern design, everything is beautiful and, in principle, the hotel is very instagrammable) they are cleaned regularly once a day, bed linen is changed every 3 days, all hats and gels are updated. The department has a mini club for children, animators, and a children's water play area for kids with water slides. There are 3 slides for adults and older children, so you can have a fun and not boring time by the pool. I was pleased with the beach and the sea (it’s literally a 5-minute walk from the hotel), I didn’t expect it to be so clean and beautiful, I was also pleased with the sand and pebble beach. I would like to express special gratitude to the Russian-speaking manager Anastasia, she will solve any issue you are interested in quickly and without delay🫰🏽
