Reviews
The room we had was spacious, however felt quite dated. The entire hotel is begging for a serious renovation, however is quite tidy overall. We did not mind too much, we were focused on spending time outside, but we would not travel there with the kids - despite a dedicated corner in the garden and a shallow pool.
The food is a very solid Turkish allinclusive standard. Good variety of choice among the cold stuff, hot stuff, sweet stuff plus 'live cooking' - grill sessions and fresh pasta. Big props to the grill master - the guy was fun to watch, seemed to really enjoy what he was doing and making a show out of it.
The entire staff is very kind, supportive and fun. The hotel beach is located 25min walk away but there is a shuttle bus. Otherwise the closest sea access is less than 10 min out.
One more thing to bear in mind - the hotel seemed to be more German oriented - if you are looking for animations in hotel, bear in mind that they are primarily led in German, but also translated to English. Also we were primarily addressed in German - not a bad thing, we did not mind that, but led to couple of misunderstanding as my German is below basic 😉
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 it needs at least some cosmetic repairs - outdated "design", old furniture, etc.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...
The food was absolutely delicious with a wide variety, including an excellent selection of local dishes. The quality of both soft and alcoholic beverages, as well as the Turkish coffee, was impressive.
Our room was spacious and featured a lovely balcony, perfect for relaxing. The free shuttle service to the beach was a convenient bonus.
A highlight of our stay was the cultural events, especially the Turkish night, which offered special dishes and a truly authentic experience.
The hotel also boasts two large pools equipped with plenty of fun activities for children.
Special thanks to Mr. Sadik, Erhaan, and the entire staff—they were incredibly friendly, helpful, and responsive to our requests.
I highly recommend this hotel. Well done to the whole team—keep up the great work!
Both Osman and Memed are not only talented photographers but also genuinely kind and professional. They made us feel completely at ease in front of the camera and had a great eye for light and detail, which truly made the photos stand out.
We will treasure these pictures as precious memories for years to come. Thank you so much for your amazing work – we highly recommend you to anyone looking for beautiful, personal, and memorable photographs!
