The best available Resorts to stay near Side
Approximately 60 miles east of Antalya lies Side, another once important port town in antiquity. Side has become a popular holiday destination all by itself, but is well worth a day trip from Antalya. The village offers picturesque, narrow streets and lovely gardens while the long, white beaches invite swimming. Imposing monuments of antiquity, such as the Roman bath and the columns of the Apollo temple by the sea, complete the picture of a perfect combination of modern-day vacation pleasure and the treasures of history.

Fantastic extended family holiday
Reviewed By Mukesh PThere were 8 of us on a family trip, grandparents, 4 adults and 2 children. Great location, really clean hotel and extremely friendly staff. Transit to/from airport with private vehicle, no issues, manager arranged early check-in with 1 room. Plenty to do, evening show was varied and high quality, swimming pools and slides met all our needs. Usual rush for sun loungers but plenty of space so not a problem to get a spot. Buffet meals were varied and good quality. We tried the 3 a la carte restaurants and choices were limited if you didn't like beef but good quality, bit pricey on wine. Good choice of drinks and bar by the beach is great to hang out in evenings. I highly recommend the hotel for families looking for the flexibility of all-inclusive and 5 star quality. The other residents were friendly and it wasn't loud or congested when we went. The private beach and pier is a highlight and we same in the sea and bumped into a turtle! Can't go wrong.

BEST HOTEL I HAVE STAYED IN
Reviewed By chriskenny165A truly first class hotel, levels of service from all staff was exemplary. Rooms - very comfortable with pillow selection plenty of space for luggage, small refrigerator topped up regular and FREE. Pools - large pool some rooms with swim up. Good size indoor pool and spa. Food - excellent, if you cant find something you like then you are obviously very hard to please. A great patisserie with hand made chocolate. Drinks - This is an Ultra all inclusive hotel, and you can drink branded drinks apart from the really expensive brands were there is a small surcharge. The bar is open until the last person leaves and you can get snacks till 2 in the morning This hotel is not cheap but they really say No to any reasonable request. Clientele is mainly German, but plenty of English, french while we were there. BEACH has plenty of double beds, and there are plenty of sunbeds in beautiful lawned grounds. I would highly reconvene this hotel, and hotels in this group Entertainment - evening entertainment excellent

Very disappointed
Reviewed By cufojaI just came back from a week in Side Premium and was very disappointed with this hotel. I will start with the positive: The beach is very close to the hotel and it’s very nice. If sand and sea wasn’t nearby I think we would have cut this holiday short or gone to another hotel. I have been to a few all inclusive holidays but this is by far the worst. I am really surprised that it has 4.5 stars on Trip Advisor. That’s what fooled me when I booked it. The food was below average. Very repetitive and tasteless. The staff were supposed to serve you the drinks during your meals but it hardly ever happened. We had to go and chase people for a glass of water. One of the waiters made it quite clear with gestures that unless we tipped he wouldn’t bring us any drinks. The restaurant for dinner closed at 9pm which we found was very early closure. All other facilities like coffee shop, patisserie shop, gym were opened between 9-6 which made it hard to use them if you were going to enjoy the sun during those hours. They had 3 A la carte restaurants but you were allowed to book only one of them per week. Went to guest relations to book it and she was supper rude. She was this Chinese looking lady who assumed we were from Romania and kept saying phrases in Romanian that we didn’t understand. I kept saying we are not Russians as I thought she was speaking in Russian and very rudely she turned around and says well I’m not speaking in Russian, I’m just saying …. And repeats what she had said in a language I didn’t understand. I said I don’t understand you for like the fourth time and she says but you are Rumanian right? I answer No and she looks as though I’m lying to her and no apologies. Appalling behaviour honestly. Reception staff so rude as well. Called to ask for the time the taxi was picking us up for the airport and his answer: Lady come to reception and read the list. I guess it was too much for him to just look at my name on that list with 10 names on it and tell me the time. By the way none of the staff spoke a word in english. Not only but they would automatically assume we were Russians or polish or Rumanian or german and start taking to us and we never had a clue what they were saying. The moment you told them do you speak english they would just move on from you as if you didn’t matter. Animation team rubbish. They did the bear minimum, no real effort with guests, I guess because most of them didn’t know any english. Even the guy who was in charge of the beach volleyball, God forbid if the people wanted to carry on playing. After an hour he would just collect the ball and lock it away quite rudely I must say. We had to get our own ball to carry on the game. The rooms were not cleaned at all, just towels changed. The cleaner had taken our quilt one day so we were really cold all night. The walls of the rooms were so thin we could hear the conversations of the room next door or their snoring. I am shocked by how low the standards of this hotel were. The hotel itself and the facilities are not bad but it’s being managed very badly. I have been a few times in Turkey and everywhere people have been very warm and friendly even if their english wasn’t great. The attitude of the staff here was really bad. It felt like if you were not russian or german they wouldn’t even bother to ask where you came from or to give you the time of day. Good luck to them because I will never go back there.

Very nice hotel
Reviewed By tammsaareWe were at the hotel in June and we were very satisfied. The room (1309) was with a view to the sea and pools, super. Beautiful room, good food-drinks, pleasant service. Customers mainly from Germany. Correction needs wifi, it's very poor. The change of towels is at 17-18, but we came from the beach at 16, could be a longer time. Saunas and indoor pool - super. Every night was live music. Very good music! We're very pleased, and we'll come back.

Wonderful place in quiet area
Reviewed By mrrvzaytsevThe perfect place to stay. It is far from loud hotels and tourists. Located in the countryside where only nature around. The room is big and with a modern furniture and kitchen. You can eat the local restaurant and swim in the pool. The only bad side is that there is no food market around and to get a food you need to have a car and drive 15-20 min. You have to stay here if you are not for the sea and tan as it is in 20 min away and even there almost everything in private beaches. ? Pet-friendly.

Wouldn't recommend
Reviewed By Katie GI'm unsure how so many people rate this hotel so highly. They've either never truly experienced a 5* resort or their standards are just too low. It's a sub-par 2-3* max. ROOMS- I was given a family bunk bed room on arrival after travelling for 16hours. It was early hours and my children were exhausted. The bunk bed is honestly higher then any bunk I've seen before and extremely dangerous. To give an idea of the height, in the UK most bunks will have 2-3 steps on the ladder. However at the hotel there were 6. There is only half of a safety slat going across the top too, leaving a gap big enough to fall out of if you have a wriggly sleeper, like me. Night one my son slept in my bed, night 2 he slept on a mattress on the floor, and night 3 we got a bed base brought to the room for the mattress. Which, although just about fitted, we had zero room to move with 4 beds now in a row. I had 3 other children who were in other rooms with family members, we had emailed the hotel prior to booking to request to be near each other, and we were in 2 separate blocks. Couldn't have been further if they tried! The beds are also very uncomfortable, like laying on marble. By the end of the holiday I had bruised hips! FOOD- The food was definitely a high point of the holiday. I have fussy eater children and there was always something they could eat. I'm not fussy and enjoyed trying all the different foods. The BBQ outside the buffet restaurant in the evening deserves its own mention, gorgeous food and always plenty to go around. The aqua bar in the day served fast food, so burgers, pizzas, chips etc, but also some really nice meals such as the vegetable noodles and Arcanus meatballs. The only negative food experience we had was visiting the Turkish restaurant. My sister in law is vegetarian and on booking, we were told they could accommodate her. So we were thinking grilled vegetables, halloumi, bulgur rice etc, however she was handed a plate of cold buffet food from the main restaurant. The same foods she'd eaten all holiday. She was also given it half an hour before anybody else was given their main. POOL- Lovely pool areas, always sunbeds available, lots of parasols (although a few times the staff around the pool tried to take them for other people even when we were clearly using them, so thought that was quite rude) Pool area always very clean. DRINKS- No matter how much we drank, we could never get drunk, or even tipsy. It got to the point it wasn't even worth ordering alcohol, as it is clearly watered down. You see people posting photos of lavish cocktails, but it was noted that English got *very* differently treated to any other nationalities. I watched a Turkish man order a Danish iced coffee, large glass, whipped cream, sauce etc, I then asked for the same and was given an espresso shot with milk, essentially just a luke-warm coffee, in a cardboard cup. When asking why I couldn't have the same to be greeted with a "no, no, not for you" it's pretty poor service. The Passion Bar is the only bar with decent cocktails, however you're looking at a 30-60min wait to get a drink. The barman takes one order at a time, making each drink fresh. Instead of asking everyone who's waiting if they happen to be ordering the same drink, as it'll be quicker to make 5 at the same time, surely!? My son is a type one diabetic, we were asking for diet Pepsi/Pepsi max all holiday and on testing most drinks, it was hit and miss if this was given. A pretty serious and dangerous thing, so just a heads up for anyone going, test your drinks! STAFF- If you tip the staff, your service will be brilliant. If you don't tip, or have yet to tip because no service has been received, the service is poor. Generally ignored, met many very abrupt and rude people, especially the night receptionist. He had to be one of the rudest men I've ever spoken to. I wouldn't work in a customer facing role, if I wasn't keen on people, or, like previously stated, English people. My Mum had a lovely conversation with a barman via Google translate. She was asking general questions about Turkey, how the prices of things are different, what hobbies he likes etc, just being friendly. She was then greeted by 2 angry managers asking her to stop talking and demanding to know what was spoken about. Lot's of the younger staff do not speak any English and I think it's wanted to stay that way, so they cannot converse about any problems or issues they may have with the job. The whole scenario seemed very off. So be warned, don't try talking to anybody! ENTERTAINMENT- Every night there is something on, wether it be a singing or dancing act, or a DJ near the beach. For adults, it was ok. For children however, there really wasn't anything. They were often bored and turned to their ipads, not something I'd actively encourage on family holidays! So all in all, for the amount of money we spent on this holiday, I would not recommend it. I would also not go back.
