Plussat: every thing

Miinukset: nothing

Plussat: Excellent location, hotel staff and service

Miinukset: A bit noise insulation at the main building

Plussat: The staff were excellent, food very generous with lots of restaurant and snack bar options. Also the setting, pools, gardens and beach superb.

Miinukset: We had the garden bungalow for 4 which was just a standard room with 2 extra beds which was a little cramped. It would have been helpful to explain that a bungalow means room.

Plussat: Everything is great.Amazing place.

Miinukset: -

Plussat: I have no words to explain how perfect it was. Everything with the hotel was so amazing that we couldn't even know where to start. All inclusive meals ,,,drinks in our rooms, the service was top. Excellent!! We felt like royals. Thank you so much, we will recommend the hotel to everyone we know!!!

Miinukset: There is nothing to dislike!!!

Plussat: It was wonderful. Best vacation in a long time. I would return and tell my friends.

Plussat: Location and activities for children

Miinukset: Restaurant timing in resort

Plussat: Daily programs for adults and kids

Miinukset: Food quality is not very good

Plussat: Verygood for familys with the kids

Miinukset: Not by the sea

Plussat: We liked the Buffet it was delicious , a lot of fruits and Salads and the Kids Buffet was ok too. My 2 year old liked that he could go outside and play everywhere he wants to at the playground etc. The Pool was okay too. The Beach is beautiful as always we booked a cabine for one day , with 2 Kids its da best u can do. If you want to have a great haircut or color Go to the barber right Next to the Pool inside the Hotel , great People great work. If you want to have some nice Family pics Go to the Photorapher Inside the Hotel he really does a great Job and is a nice guy too.thumbs up for this.

Miinukset: We didn liked that no one could speak english very well , a lot of russian speaking people so the Personal at the Restaurant or Kids world was always speaking russian Even tho we were in turkiye lol they have To get more english or german speaking People in there . We booked a Family Villa for 10 days and the cleaning Lady didn clean the room as good as she should for a 5 Star Hotel , the mirror wasnt clean When we Came in -the floor under the TV was dirty the whole 10 days i mean grab a broom and clean the „Villa“ we payed 1.600€ and Not 600€ for 10 days and a 5 star!!! So we deserve a clean room everyday we step in ,in our 10 days. So clean the mirrors Clean the floor dry and wet Not only the entry room every room!! Oh and If you book and fly to the hotel before 12o clock u have To wait till 12 or 9 :00 clock to get to Ur room !!! We arrived at 3am after a flight with 2 lil kids at the Hotel , we liked to Check in and the guy at the Lobby Said we have to wait Till 9 am til one of the cleaning Ladys cleaned our room so we can get in .. we had 2 wait 6 fucking ours with our babys at the lobby their luck our babys could sleep at the sofa in the lobby where People walkin by every damn Minute. I mean we said that we will come at night and they didn even gave us another room so we could sleep a lil NO!! We strictly had to wait the 6 hours! For that I really lost my respect for the guys at the lobby. And was pissed off.For real! For that find a option where stuff like this won’t happen again. Give a room with one bed or whatever but don’t let people SLEEP at the damn lobby and especially no kids 2 and 5 months old . Thank you

Plussat: Good

Plussat: Room is in good condition, hotel territory is fine too. There is kids club on the territory. Nice animation (both for kids & adults) every day. Good meal selection. Very helpful staff speaking your language. Sea has always strong waves near the coast.

Miinukset: You'll find no restaurants near hotel. The hotel territory is big, but there are no places to relax beside swimming pool sun beds and restaurants - no benches, small garden houses, etc.

Plussat: Liked everything about the hotel, food, drinks, entertainment, poolside and beach . Can’t find fault in anything.

Plussat: Staff is nice. Food is amazing. Entertainment is guaranteed. Location is awesome

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: The childrentertainment program is amazing. Also the facilites for kids were great, like trampolines, play room inside and outside, kids cafe. The theritory is big and green, staff extremely nice, the atmosphere is relaxed, sauna os relatevely good.

Miinukset: There isn't even one swimming pool with warm water, even that one which is inside is cold. No jacuzzi whatsoever. Not enough hot vegetarian dishes, we are vegetarian and were eating more or less same things evert day, but for meet eaters variaty is great. In the spa staff was nice untill they undetstood we are not going to book any paid massages. We felt pressure of it, like they were expecting us to relly get some.

Plussat: Wifi in rooms is good; I saw people complaining alot about wifi in other hotels. Beach is ok. Lemonade is yummy. Massage is ok if you are willing to be ripped off. Sauna is ok. Room was ok. Steam room is ok. Cleaning ladies are ok, especially if you tip them. Be careful, they sometime enter like commandos with no knocking or storming in one millisecond after knocking. Weather is ok if you like monotone hot weather, not a single cloud on the sky for days and some foggy atmosphere.

Miinukset: This is hotel for middle or lower middle class, so it can not be rated with 5 stars. There are many examples that can support my statement. If you are into 5 star hotels, if you like Mercedes, BMW or Porshe, if you believe that All inclusive, really means All Inclusive, than this is not a place for you. If you have kids from 2-10 yrs, or if you have a kid that is teenager but didn’t travel alot and didn’t see places, if your standards are not high and if you never/rarely been on the coast, if you adore 9 years old Toyota, than you can consider this place. All inclusive includes food (not bad, but nothing spectacular- it is like a little better military cantina), some programs and shows that can be interesting to kids, and drinks that are probably worst I ever tasted. For example, mojito that is served here is an insult to world of cocktails- the worst drink I ever tasted. Everything else you pay, is a major ripoff. For example, air hockey game requers two coins and total cost for one game is 3€ which is insane. Booking.com states that a few types of a massage are free, but that is not true. All types of a massage are overpriced. Airport shuttle, if not arranged via agency, will cost you 45€ in one direction. Table tennis is mention among activities, but that is ridiculous- they just put things and objects there, so they exist there, and they list them as an activity. So when you read, you say “Wow, they have everything!”. That’s not true, of course. Table tennis is a dirty, twisted, wet board, in the dark, with yellowish lightning, with something across what might be called net, and with some orange plastic things; I heard people call them balls. The restaurants and a bars are constantly cleaned by poor young girls and boys, who look like they are working in prison. Didn’t see a happy face or a smile from them for 7 days. Staff is ok.

Plussat: The staff where very friendly. The kids loved the waterslides and the pool area. Perhaps a toilet close to the children pool would been a good idea. We also liked the beach and the beach bar/restaurant and especially the ice cream. We also liked to sunsets at the beach.

Miinukset: The area around the hotel was a little deserted, but we could easily take the bus to side. The food was not the best, although we liked the meat at the grill. To be fair we visited the hotel of season, hopefully the food is better in full season. We tried the food at the Italian restaurant. If I have served that food at a restaurant in Italy I would have been killed. Actually if I have served that to my girlfriend she would probably dump me...

Plussat: Modern & clean

Miinukset: Our room was right behind kitchens & had noisy air con. We also found it hard to sleep with door open due to late night & early morning noise from kitchens. We decided not to request change of room as we wanted to stay close to friends but with hindsight we should have asked for different room. Hotel didn't provide courtesy room for those leaving in evening & wishing to freshen up. We've had this offered in other hotels in Side. Even paying extra €30 to keep room until 5pm would not have fitted in well with our plans & would have been too rushed, so we had to go to Spa facility & use showers & small communal changing room. Hotel staff were great & very friendly.

Plussat: Very clean

Plussat: The staff in reception were cery helpful. Rooms were clean. Pool was quiet and clean. Foods were excellent.

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Again I was sleeping at 8am when a member of staff invaded my personal space by entering my room without nocking

Miinukset: If the staff did not invade my room while I’m sleeping or at least nock

Plussat: Oli hyviä aamupalat Altaat oli isoja

Miinukset: Ei ollut altaalla kaikki paikat auki Muuten hyvä

Plussat: The hotel is amazing, the food is really good, clean beach, fun activities, great pool, excellent music (piano in the lobby)

Miinukset: The staff from the reception does not speak english (or speaks really bad) and that it is frustrating because the communication with them was very hard :( I was not informed that I must make a reservation 3 days in advance, for the A la cart restaurant for dinner so there was not possible to have dinner there.

Miinukset: I surely didn't like the attitude of the guy on the reception with very bad English and if you ask twice he literally starts shouting!! I've told him sorry you have to excuse me for not understanding your perfect English! My bad! I have given low rate because of that so that management would act quick to such staff! Though I have to be honest other staff at the counter were very nice and polite... also I didn't liked that they don't have toothpaste and when I reached hotel I've called for iron and iron board but they didn't have and ironing service was closed so I had to wear wrinkled shirt because I had a long trip and couldn't just wear what I had on me all day! Simple things can make big difference!

Miinukset: The only one thing which was a bit uncomfortable that the staff mostly cannot speak in English. I know that the ~80% of the guests are from Russia but it would be great if an English speaker guest could order a glass of something without to use his/her hands at the bar. :)

Plussat: Was lovely configuration, pool was awesome and food was great

Miinukset: Bathroom was not properly segregated and wash Basim was part of the room. Would have been better if was segregated

Plussat: The hotel is new, less than four months. Nice pool, the beach is not far and they have beach transfer all the time. The hotel is good. The food is ok.

Miinukset: The WiFi was terrible all over the place. They don't clean the floor of the rooms regularly. The air condition outside the room is very weak.

Plussat: The hotel is new, the design is very good and beautiful Good food, really tasty meals.

Miinukset: There is disco several times a week - in a very small room inside the hotel. So just forget about that disco. Drinks are for extra cost after midnight - first time i see such a thing...

Plussat: The hotel design was beautiful. The pool and beach are excellent.

Miinukset: All staff were unfriendly and unhelpful. The cleaning staff were very poor not leaving fresh towels on a number of occasions. Reception staff were rude and unhelpful. The hotel Doctor could only speak Russian and asked us to use Google Translate to explain an illness. There was no animation team around never saw them in two weeks. Only one al la carte restaurant for a 2 weeks stay very disappointing however when we went for our meal it was the worst meal I have ever eaten and would certainly not eat there ever again. I would not recommend this hotel to anyone.

Miinukset: The only problem was with the staff. They cannot speak in English (colleagues cannot count till 10 in English at the reception!). I know that the rule is “Russians first” but it’s really annoying especially the small,chubby guy with glasses at the Spa. He’s rassist and so rude when you’re changing your towels.

Plussat: Good Restaurant. Nice Lobby.

Miinukset: Crowded open area around swimming pool, not direct on the beach. Need to pay extra for kids games..

Plussat: Cleanliness, the food was amazing!! The pools were big, and they had a besch shuttle

Miinukset: There were many things which were not included inthe price, such as the game room, some ice cream and fruit smoothies. It was far away from the beach, and you had to walk about 7 minutes through a tunnel to a shuttle, which you have to wait in line for.. but its manageable

Plussat: Very good service.cuisine was amazing.staff very friendly n helpful

Miinukset: Directions could improve

Plussat: Always something available of food 24/7. The beach was awesome. I am more of a pool person, but this holiday I spent on the beach. Even though the beach isn’t very close, we enjoyed the short walk there and back. Rooms very clean. The room service lady was lovely. Not many of the staff know english, but with some effort we didn’t have any trouble communicating what we needed.

Miinukset: There’s a lady on the beach in a tent making fresh pita bread with different fillings, it says 2 per person. I had ordered 2 with cheese and when my husband came we shared them. Then he wanted to try one with chocolate, he waited for everyone who was there to finish ordering and asked for 1 with chocolate, but she kept ignoring him and taking orders from others who kept coming. He waited for some time and asked again and again she just looked the other way and started taking others orders (even though some of them were ordering more than 2 each). This was the last day of our stay and the first time we ordered in something in that tent, it left a really bad taste. We just walked out of there kind of ashamed, because the other visitors couldn’t understand either why she wouldn’t take our order.

Plussat: Accommodation was very clean and relaxing atmosphere

Miinukset: Not enough sunbeds if your a late starter. Atmosphere was not flat around the bar area

Plussat: Almost everything

Miinukset: Timing for food They did not inform us about the activity timing

Plussat: The pools, shows, cleanliness.

Miinukset: Some staff were not motivated and doing only the minimum. Food has room for improvement. Salads were fresh and great.

Plussat: Overall good facilities and good variety of food. Nice looking lobby, clean pool. I recommend the massage and hammam. Easy access to the beach. Different seating areas and places where you can have a drink and relax

Miinukset: WiFi is very poor in most of the areas. Booked 2 rooms of 35 m² but one of them was smaller. Bed covers quite rough. Pool bar cocktails aren't very nice. The only bar to find good drinks and coffee is the one at the ground floor. Hotel staff was not always friendly and they speak basic English, so it takes a bit longer to explain an issue you may have. Main foreign language in the hotel is German. Loud music coming from the hotel next door.

Plussat: Lovely rooms with a beautiful view. Modern hotel and very spacious. The hotel was very clean inside and around the pool. The choice of food and drink very good compared to other A/I hotels I have been too.. Most of the staff were fantastic, some reception staff not so much. I highly recommend this hotel

Miinukset: To far away from Side old town where the bars and restaurants are if you want different food choice or entertainment

Plussat: Excellent food and service ,the pool is also nice and clean, the rooms are comfortable and specious.. Good hotel

Miinukset: The reception are real lousy, it's that they don't speak English at all but it takes them a lot of time for you to check in and to check out, and at my first night they gave me two seperated rooms in different floors instead of giving me a family room which I made a reservation for it two weeks in advance

Plussat: Great size room, lovely pool area.

Miinukset: Doesn’t include cleaning even mid stay bed change on a 2 week break wasn’t included! Location is a bit out of the way.

Plussat: Modern, new furnitures full kitchen equipment are available, washing machine even includes tablets for washing are available. All details are cared by hotel management. Thank you.

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: The spa facilities are awesome

Miinukset: Location was bad but free shuttle available

Plussat: Top small Resort, huge duplex flat, very modern and clean accommodation with all facilities you need, two balconies with views to the city and surroundings, excellent spa and wellness center included in the package. Quiet area of the city but easy access to the shops and restaurants within walking distance.

Miinukset: This is almost perfect accommodation you can find in Turkey, you barely can find something missing in this place.

Plussat: Facilities - They had shuttle Service to beach Guests were welcomed compared to everywhere else which where you can’t have visitors .

Miinukset: The restaurant service was so lacking , cocktails are not actual cocktails, preferred to Jane authentic Turkish food on the menu as none. Bfast also is international . Wish the family that hang around all day - which contributes to lack of service would sit not in the entry as every time I walked in swimwear I felt uncomfortable and manager was unprofessional hitting on me.

Plussat: Spotless with excellent facilities.

Plussat: Loved the quiet apartment was spacious had a pool view,security was great to have apartment and he able to prepare food or have the option of buying a meal at restaurant which was first class especially great with my daughters life threatening allergies ..the spa was first class quality Hamam was immaculate massages were fantastic ...

Miinukset: big problem with ants in kitchen &downstairs bathroom also in twin bedroom there were 100s even on the unused single bed ,it was as if they came out from the wooden frame of bed and they looked more like termites complained as paid a lot for 2 rooms yet my daughter slept on sofa more than 3 nights .reception were not prepared to give a partial refund for the difference of not using that room ..and we’re not that nice about it either

Plussat: The design was modern, new property, spacious rooms with all new amenities. Gym was good.

Miinukset: The restaurant manager was not nice. We attended breakfast at 8:30, they open at 9:00 am The food was set but he didn’t allow us. We don’t mind the wait, but the way he said it was rude. Also, he could at least offered us a cup of coffee while waiting but he didn’t

Plussat: The apartment, in terms of space, kitchen facilities, and cleanliness, was excellent. The staff, too, was very helpful and our family would like to extend our warm regards to Funda.

Miinukset: The location was a bit cut off from the major shopping areas and we ended up spending quite a lot on taxi fare.

Plussat: the friendliness of all staff although most guests are german or russian good fun i think i was the only englishman in hotel but my partner is russsian . very good value for money . the beacx 10 minute walk was excellent

Plussat: Enjoyed our stay and recommend it ,specially to families with children . Staff are super friendly and food is great and abundant.

Plussat: Stuff was very friendly and helpful. Massage was good but expensive. Side old city is nice and close to the hotel. Good choice for older people:)

Miinukset: Choice of food was not good, all the time the same. Not many opportunities for kids, just one playground. If it is raining there is nothing to do for them. Not many opportunities for activities, just pool and the beach. In the evening there was some kind of entertainment but just about half an hour.

Plussat: Great food

Miinukset: Wifi should be free with high speed

Plussat: The hotel is a good 4 stars. The food is not particulary varied. The hotel is suitable for relaxing holiday. It is better to book a luxury part- has been opened in early May ( rooms are new, food is better). The coolest thing is encradable team of animators! Very unobtrusive and interesting!

Miinukset: Thy are building a new part of the hotel. And it is noisy during the day.

Plussat: The rooms and the service from the staff

Miinukset: Everyone spoke perfect German but their English wasn't so good

Plussat: All inclusive buffet option Good pool option

Miinukset: No toiletries were available Not many spoke English

Plussat: Food , stuff , service

Miinukset: Loud music

Plussat: Excellent service people atmosphere location beach

Plussat: Excellent staff and very good food.

Miinukset: Hotel’s conditions.

Miinukset: Actually I was disappointed since the hotel was more a 3 star hotel than a 5 star one

Plussat: The hotel room was lovely. The staff were excellent. The pool was nice and clean and everything was luxurious

Miinukset: They had no signs in English

Plussat: Staff were welcoming very nice hotel

Plussat: Friendly staff & not too big - visited just prior to closing for the season with only a few other guests so very good service.

Miinukset: No lounge bar so only the outside pool bar where entertainment is - so a bit chilly some evenings, but ongoing building works to enlarge the hotel may improve this situation. Have heard that the bar gets very busy in the high season when hotel is full.

Plussat: Erinomainen perhehotelli: avulias ja ystävällinen henkilökunta, erittäin hyvät ruoat, kiva allasalue, kaikkialla siistiä, mukava huone, kiva lastenkerho, kaiken kaikkiaan kaikki toimi hienosti!

Plussat: Great place to stay, staff were fantastic, all inclusive bar had many options and entertainment every night.

Miinukset: Some of the food was cool or cold but you had plenty of choice.

Plussat: Erinomaiset sängyt, tyynyt ja peitot. Mukavat ja siistit huoneet. Allasalue viihtyisä ja siisti.

Miinukset: Gluteeniton ruokavalio huomioitu erittäin huonosti. Buffetpöydässä jokaisen ruuan viereen merkitty ruuan sisältämät allergeenit, mutta merkinnät olivat täysin väärin. Oma jatkuva valppaus tärkeää.

Plussat: Friendly small resort

Miinukset: The family room was very small, it would have been better for us to book a 2 bedroom room

Plussat: Everything was very good! Nothing to complain about. The staff, the food, the hygiejne etc.

Miinukset: Food was a bit bland

Plussat: Staff were exceedingly warm and friendly always happy to aid your holiday. Hotel has renovation plans for 2019 so they would make the children’s pool bigger. Poolside bar is nice all local spirits included in the all inclusive rates along with Beer and wine. Always an activity going on if you wish to join. Has a good ‘games room’ also.

Miinukset: Dinner menu could have been a bit more extensive. Very good for meat eaters not so much for veggies. However you have to bare in mind the hotel caters for lots of people and dietary preferences vary throughout the hotel.

Plussat: Great location. The staff were very friendly and helpful, amazing service. There was a lot of choice for Breakfast and lunch buffet. Enjoyed the evening entertainment. Overall lovely experience.

Plussat: Kids club was decent

Miinukset: Waiters and bartenders were terrible, customer service horrible, food was terrible

Plussat: The hotel was very clean, there were a lot of staff who all seemed to be working very hard all of the time. The room was big enough for the two of us and had pretty much everything you needed including a small kitchenette which was useful. The food at the restaurant was varied and good quality, it did get busy at times but the ques soon went down. All the staff were very helpful and friendly.

Miinukset: The gym wasn't very good, but then I don't suppose a lot of people go on holiday to exercise! One word of warning would be getting involved in the foam party at the pool , it was dangerous to say the least. All of my family were overwhelmed by the amount of foam and were struggling to breathe. There were lots of people being pulled out, im pretty sure you wouldn't be able to get away with it in the UK. It is a good 25 minutes walk to the beach and town but only a cheap taxi ride away.

Plussat: Beds were very comfortable Breakfast very good

Miinukset: Check in mistake with payment. Corrected by management but should not have happened. Hotel was very noisy during evening entertainment.

Plussat: On our first trip to Turkey and Side ever, me and my girlfriend had chosen Dogan as our hotel. Check-in was quick, and in my native language (!). We got all the information we needed. The room was standard double, tv, wifi, refrigiator, safe. The bed was big and soft. We had breakfast in the hotel restaurant, a few meters from the ocean. Very good breakfast, polite staff, and omelet or pancakes cooked in front of you. The hotel is located close to the old town, and we needed about two days to cover the old roman ruins including Apollo temple and the Theater. The massage provided by the hotel was better than expected. Let me also say thank you to the house keeping.

Plussat: Very close to the beach, and all the restaurants/shops. Also close to Side Ancient City (15min walk). Nice staff, and the cleaning both at the hotell area and the room were good.

Miinukset: - A little bit boring breakfast. - When you book this hotell it's expected that it is going to be a little bit noise since it's in the middle of "everything", but my room was very close to the hotel-restaurant where it is live music in the evening/night, and it was very hard to sleep until the music stopped. I could also hear the conversations my "neighbour" had in the other room. I don't know if every room is like this, but atleast be sure you ask for a room that is not so close to the restaurant.

Plussat: We like it because the staff is not "in your face", but they are there when you request them.

Miinukset: The rush for the sunbeds on the beach and around the pool. Not enough sunbeds for all the people staying.
