Grand Seker Hotel - All Inclusive in Side

Hotel was renovated this year + new waterslides, pools, we had a Nice view from our Room to the poolside and garden. Garden was very beautiful and always tidy, animation programs were excelent. U Can choose from many types of food and cakes in the restaurant and beach too. Beach was always tidy, no crowded sunbeds, many shop right out from the hotel, you will be excited if you are shoppaholic like me . We had no problems with communication in english. Hotel IS ideal for families. Thank you ♥️

Really nice hotel. I wasn't expecting it to be so clean, but everything was really nice and beautiful. Loved the food, there was no moment to be bored, the animation team did a lot! They really did everything to make you feel good. Also in the evening there was a programm every night.

We had a very nice family vacation at Grand Șeker hotel. The rooms are indeed small and the balcony for one of the triple rooms we had was very small, but the other double room had a big terrace as it was located on the last floor. It got a bit warm that room as the weather got hotter but all in all we were ok with the rooms. Everything was functional and the cleaning was done regularly and the air conditioning was working so the fact they were small did not bother us. We liked the food, it was diverse enough for us, with a lot of fresh herbs and vegetables. There was fish everyday either grilled or baked in the oven. On fish night we had an extremwly delicious fish in salt...absolute delight. Turkish night was also great with lamb..for the ones in my family eating lamb ;) Too us it was too much food really. I wish people would visit Turkey less for eating all day and more for enjoying the sights. Anyway, the hotel is 7 min walk from the beach. We also liked this as we had the chance to walk a bit and not just lay all day. The Turtle bridge is about 200 m away from the hotel's beach and you can actually see the turtles in the morning, at least. We visited Side Acient City by taxi. It was very convenient for us 5 to pay 15 eur each way and visit the Roman ruins at our own pace. The sea was clean and clear and very warm. I must say some of the staff was really friendly and helpful. I want just to give a nod here to Omer from reception, the lady who was baking the flatbreads on the beach (gozleme -do try them out they are delicious) and one male employee on the beach who was actively cleaning everything there in extreme heat. I do not know his name but I wanted to say thank you and to the entire staff and hotel thank you for a great holiday.

Superb 5* hotel. Great selection of food everyday, fantastic pool with plenty of sunbeds, good kids room/playground. Entertainment was good, and room was comfortable. side note: the local area/hotel is mainly geared towards germans as the majority of guests appeared to be german . Didn't bother us at all, except for when going to the entertainment in the evenings and it was all in german so was difficult for our kids to engage and interact. Outside of that we would definitely return

Overall it is a nice, budget-friendly hotel, but some things could be improved. Food is hit and miss, too many stews, and not much choice from the grill - every day it was just one type of grilled meat (lamb, chicken etc) and one type of grilled fish. Usually Turkish hotels have shish, köfte etc available for every dinner. No card with coctails, you can only order spirit + cola, fanta etc but the bartenders are very nice, especially lobby bar ones. There is a "coctail of the week" but it is very sugary. Rooms are very nice, cleaned every day. Swimming pools and outdoor areas are very well-kept and clean as well. Entertainment team is friendly, especially Halil, and the girls - Meliha, Fatma and Sila. Evening entertainment is good, surprisingly Turkish night show was the weakest of all - girls who performed looked a bit bored, some of the performers didn't have matching clothes (which is a bare minimum for a dance team I would think). I think the entertainment is the strongest point of this hotel. To sum up, it is a very welcoming place and if you do not need to be spoiled for choice you will enjoy your time there.
