Dosi Hotel in Side

First, the good things:
1. Excellent food. The best we've ever had in a Turkish hotels.
2. Very good location - 100m from the main street and 7min drive (by bus) from the old town of Side.
3. Good pools and a pretty cool water slide.

Bad things:
1. The hotel is really old... it needs at least some cosmetic repairs - outdated "design", old furniture, etc.
2. The worst animation team ever. I don't understand why they are there at all - they do absolutely nothing. Total disaster not animation team.
3. Very, very boring everyday life. There are no normal evening events. Total boredom and neglect from the animation and the hotel.
4. The employee who makes Turkish bread (pancakes) does not like foreign tourists, a disgusting woman who obviously talks and mocks foreign tourists even with Turkish tourists. (and we are not the rude ones. We are very polite to everybody)
5. Very dirty sea. And even no drinking water available! That was crazy! In +40 degrees. And we have been in several 4 star hotels in Turkey but something like that saw first time.

Guests who are only interested in eating well and lying by the pool all the time on vacation - will like it.
For those guests who want to relax in the pool, eat well but also play water polo, watch nice evening events, experience some children's event for children, etc. - I recommend choosing another hotel.
P.s. and we are customers who like a quiet, nice, calm vacation, but even if we were bored...
