Reviews
4 SEASONS TRANSFER …
I recently had the unfortunate opportunity to stay at the Side Crown Sunshine Hotel during my second visit to Antalya. As a black woman accompanied by my two sisters, our experience at this establishment was nothing short of infuriating. I feel compelled to share my grievances regarding the staff, the food, and the overall service we received during our stay. Allow me to elaborate on the various aspects that contributed to our terrible experience.
To begin with, the staff's attitude towards us was abhorrent. From the moment we arrived, we were met with disapproving glares from both the staff and the residents. It felt as though we were being subjected to a deathly stare, a constant reminder of our perceived otherness. The blatant discrimination we faced tarnished our visit and left us feeling unwelcome and disheartened.
Moreover, the quality of the food served at the hotel was nothing short of appalling. As paying guests, we expected at least a satisfactory dining experience. However, the meals provided were consistently subpar, lacking in taste, variety, and overall quality. This was an unexpected disappointment, as we had hoped to indulge in the local cuisine and enjoy the flavors of the region. Instead, we were left with unsatisfying and uninspired dishes that failed to meet even the most basic standards.
One particular incident that further exacerbated our terrible experience was the hotel manager's mishandling of our scheduled transfer to the Sunshine Garden club. We had agreed on a pick-up time of 10:30 PM and a drop-off time of 2:00 AM, for which we were charged a hefty £120. However, when the designated pick-up time arrived, the driver was nowhere to be seen, and our calls were completely ignored. Left with no other choice, we had to arrange our own transportation back to the hotel via taxi. This breach of trust and lack of professionalism is entirely unacceptable.
As paying customers, we entrusted the hotel to arrange our transportation, and their failure to deliver on this commitment left us feeling stranded and inconvenienced. It is disheartening to witness such a lack of accountability and disregard for their guests' well-being. The hotel's negligence in handling this matter further solidifies our decision never to return and to caution others against staying at Side Crown Sunshine Hotel.
In conclusion, my experience at Side Crown Sunshine Hotel was marred by the staff's discriminatory behavior, the abysmal quality of the food, and the complete disregard for our agreed-upon transportation arrangements. As a black woman visiting Antalya with my sisters, I had hoped for an enjoyable and welcoming stay. Unfortunately, this was far from the reality we faced at this establishment. I strongly advise against staying at Side Crown Sunshine Hotel, as it has proven to be an unpleasant and regrettable experience that I would not wish upon anyone else.
Negative could be which is only a suggestion to improve that the staff does not speak good English, and the Internet is very very weak and 250 mega the usage for free. Lot of Russian and German people who can party hard but I have not been bothered by them at all.
