Wonderful hotel

Reviewed Jun 19, 2022via mobile
Visited this hotel for 2 weeks on the 21/05/2022. Arrived to a lovely greeting at 3am from reception who speedily checked us in. The room was lovely and clean, it was cleaned daily and always cleaned well with daily fresh towels. The gardens and pools are spotless with walkways cleaned every night and pools tested daily. The main pools x4 one large shallow one for children a large pool with swim under a bridge and through the walkway to the snack bar you will find another pool and a fun water slide pool. There are plenty of sun beds and each one has an umbrella. Nightly entertainment following the kids disco, the kids club is great if you have little ones with ice cream cones at the bar from 11am to 9pm. The food is the usual all inclusive but always plenty of it, I am vegetarian and always had plenty of choice for me at each meal. There is a snack bar at lunch time if you don’t want a full meal that does the usual chips n pizza. All the staff in the resort cannot do enough for you, they are all so polite and helpful, good variety of drinks available and the bar staff work really hard long hours for our enjoyment collecting glasses rounds the pool and fetching fresh drinks for you.
Special mention to Sinan our favourite bar man who looked after everyone.
The town of side is a 10 minute walk from the hotel but seconds in a taxi and very cheap, the taxi will take you from outside to the harbour where you can walk past all the Roman ruins to the main shopping street which is lovely, this leads to the harbour where there are sea front restaurants with music on while you eat. One of the best holidays we have ever had. Will be back next year.

My wife and I recently spent a week holidaying at this hotel.

Two very positive experiences given that this is a 3-star hotel; flight times are lousy for Glasgow during the summer season, however when we arrived at 1am food had been set aside for us and one of the smaller bars kept open for a brief period to allow us to grab a drink. Secondly, when we were leaving for our transfer back to Antalya airport, on request one of the managers kindly opened La Sera restaurant prior to the 6pm start to allow us to grab a relaxed sit down meal.

Both instances of flexibility by hotel staff were very much appreciated and ensured we started and ended our holiday here on a high note.

The rooms in F block are small and compact, but this should be seen as an advantage particularly during the summer as the aircon takes much less time to cool the room. The room was spotless and the room cleaning faultless. The grounds of the hotel are well maintained and pleasant to view. The main pool can get a little boisterous with kids, but this is rightly a family orientated hotel and there is a quieter pool in the other complex beside the snack bar. There was never an issue getting loungers either.

The all inclusive food at this hotel is most excellent, particularly their Turkish night on a Sunday. The snack bar also provides quality food throughout the afternoon. The variety and quality of alcoholic beverages and the cocktailed provided was very good.

The entertainment is typical of a 3-star however the animation staff were consistently friendly and requesting involvement/ providing inclusion in activities throughout the day without being over zealous.

The biggest credit to this hotel are its staff. They were all very friendly, hard working and attentive towards us. A special mention to Aydin working in the main restaurant who was extremely industrious.

We hope to be back in the Autumn circumstances permitting!
