What can I say, I'm at a loss for words... you won't find an alleged 3.5 stars here. The rooms are in a very bad and uncomfortable condition, the beach - old loungers, broken umbrellas, placed close together - looks just as comfortable.The "reception" - if you like to call it that - is like a backyard entrance. The food is ok but don't expect much here either. It's a shame, we just wanted to get away from everyday life and are happy that the short trip is only 3 full days.

I don't know where to start, we went there to spend the holiday but it was a complete disgrace. The first day the water was cut off, we couldn't take a shower, there were no tanks, and on the second day, where we went as two families, one of the rooms flooded. The waiters are so dissatisfied and sullen that people are afraid to ask for anything, even if you try the food, it's terrible. We ate the same food for 5 days. There was an almost unbelievable queue of desserts or fruits until it was your turn. A gentleman called the so-called chef was wandering around the buffet and the only thing he gave you when you asked about the finished dessert. no answer". You cannot find a sun lounger or a place on the beach. If you go before 7 in the morning, they collect the towels and take them away. When you arrive, you are surprised at what you are experiencing. The only good thing is that Mr. Rıdvan, who works on the beach, is a very caring and smiling friend, he was very helpful, thank you.

We are currently staying in a hotel. This is the 4th year of our visit, but it has nothing to do with previous years. Incredible quality of everything has decreased. Food, rooms, hygiene are in terrible condition. It's a shame for the money we paid. If we had the opportunity, we would like to continue our holiday somewhere else, but unfortunately this is not possible in this economy. We came with 4 families, it was a complete disappointment. Those who will come should take these into consideration.

Although it is very crowded during the holiday, it is a very successful and cute hotel. The location is very nice, right by the sea. It has a private beach. The food is very successful compared to a 3 star hotel. On our last day at the hotel, the sheets were not changed at all, but the room was cleaned daily and towels were changed.

I recommend. A small cozy hotel with good service, beautiful grounds, delicious food, a beautiful beach and a prime location.I am now in this hotel for 3 days. I had never stayed in a 3-star hotel before. It was scary that the food could be very bad, etc., but I really liked the area. And it’s really very good, so green, cozy, cool bungalows, but... only if you look at them and walk nearby) living in them is not very cool;) (damp, dark, the windows can’t hang curtains - people passing by on the path they constantly see your whole life until your number) I can say one thing, you need to decide on the number on the spot, there are very good ones, as well as very economical ones, correctly understanding the choice online is not an easy task, as it turned out. But! Even in the economy room itself, absolutely everything works (!), nothing leaks, does not fall off, liquid soap and shower gel are available, as is a hairdryer, refrigerator, safe (there is no kettle, but several points in the hotel where you can use it all night you can pour boiling water and even have something to eat)The taste of the food is the same as everywhere else, to me something even tastes better than in big hotels. The choice may be too small for some. But everything is available: eggs in several types for breakfast, as well as cereals, etc. according to the standard, for lunch there are soups, meat (mostly chicken), but in general, like dinner, it’s also standard, everything is shorter as everywhere else, there seems to be less choice, but I couldn’t even remember what I was missing from the 5 usual ones. They always fry something: eggs for breakfast, meat for lunch and dinner. The vegetables are fresh and the fruits are excellent! Sweets are the same as everywhere else in Turkey, but even tasty (which rarely happens)! Coffee, of course, is sad, it’s true, it’s quite a disaster. Even with Turkish, which in general not everyone likes. For coffee, go to the center, in short. Along the promenade, towards ancient Side, which will take about 20 minutes at the slowest pace.The beach is great! There is sand when entering, and very, very far to the depths. Purely. There is an employee who helps with sunbeds/umbrellas, cleaning, etc...By the way, the rooms are cleaned every day and very well! Every day the towels are changed, the bed linen seems to be stated to be 2 every week, but we have already been changed once in 3 days. The staff is all young, they do everything efficiently and everything is positive, they really try. Just darlings.The service is excellent, everyone is trying very hard, the guys are very nice. Issues are resolved quickly.There are even animators (but for children, only a couple of swings with slides) and there is the opportunity to throw a disco, but the contingent is basically the same as everywhere else in Side)))) (grandmothers and their grandfathers from Germany, or entire families including very little ones ). It’s quiet, but even these guys love to listen to music and have some money at the restaurant on the highway) and the highway is just fire! You can drink wine and beer (which are generally excellent here for Turkey) all day long on it, enjoying the views and light breeze in the leafy living shade of perennial trees!

We have just spent 9 nights here All Inclusive and my review is based on many years of coming to Side and staying in budget accommodation. The small complex of rooms is laid out in 2 parts Altinkum where we stayed and Nova which has individual bungalows they share the lovely pool area and the dining room with a view to the sea.Good points: fantastic location, good small pool with plenty comfortable loungers, private beach directly in front of the hotel, beds and towels changed daily and room cleaned to a good standard. Absolute highlight though is the staff who without exception are friendly welcoming and work really hard to help you enjoy your stay. It's predominantly a German clientele so don't expect English food. The food itself was plentiful if a bit repetitive but you'll never be stuck for something to eat. AI alcoholic drinks are available from 10am - 11pm and are the usual local variety and water, juice coffee etc is available 24/7 along with fruit and biscuits. The rooms need a bit of tlc especially in the shower cubicles and there was a definite smell from the bathroom drains however that was fixed with a 1€ bottle of bleach. Staff are constantly cleaning the communal areas and there were lots of staff(managers?) going round with clipboards making notes so clearly the new owners are making changes. If you are expecting luxury or have never been to Turkey before this is unlikely to be the hotel for you. Probably go to a Barut or The Raga but if you miss the vibe of the Old Town as it was and want a laid back friendly base then give it a go. We shopped around and paid £505 for 9 nights AI in 2 double rooms for single occupancy so less than £28 a night. Unbelievable value.
