The location offers a peaceful setting while remaining close to Side’s historical sites and Manavgat’s amenities.

Tips

• Arrive early at the pools in peak season to secure sunbeds, as they fill up quickly.

• If you plan to use the spa, be prepared for higher prices compared to other destinations.
• Consider requesting rooms in renovated blocks for a fresher interior and quieter air conditioning.
