Hoteles en Side (Antalya)

Ventajas: Clean.

Desventajas: Looks bigger than it acually is. Pool with out any sun protection. Spicy food. The slides opens 4 hours only. And just 3. No good food outside . You have to go to room to change clothes and go formal to lunch.

Ventajas: Special thanks to Adil Harman! Awesome personnel, very nice food with great variety, clean and comfortable beach. A-la Carte restaurants are insanely tasty.

Desventajas: No area for non-smokers

Ventajas: We were visiting from the U.S. and so we are comparing the King's Palace to all-inclusive Carribean resorts and the Gulf of Mexico beaches. Overall, we were highly satisfied and had a fantastic trip. The territory of the hotel is not huge but even at maximum occupancy in July, there was enough room for everyone at the pool, beach, restaurants, etc.. It was important for us to have a clean, sandy beach: while the sea is not the same lighter aqua blues of the Carribean, but the golden beach was clean, there was no seagrass or pollution of any sort, the waves were very gentle and there is a long stretch of shallow waters perfect for kids (a bit cooler than in the Gulf of Mexico but still very pleasant). The staff is great, very polite and eager to please; the few complaints that I had were quickly fixed. The whole place is spot-clean. German is the most commonly spoken language, but almost all staff members are multilingual. We were pleased with the food choices and variety, although a bit disappointed with fruit (apples, pears, peaches, and apricots were tasteless and rock hard). Made us miss all the gorgeous tropical fruit and smoothies we typically enjoy during our beach trips. Kids' club does not office very extensive programming and their space is not great, but during the hours that they were open, our kids did enjoy the activities and mini discos (esp. Miss Eda). The kids' club is not open during dinner hours which we loved as an option at other resorts. Some of the nightly shows were spectacular (although a couple of nights were cheesy). Overall, we were pleased with our hotel choice and enjoyed our beach vacation

Desventajas: Provide better fruit; offer a more upgraded kids' club with an interior room and longer programming hours

Ventajas: Front disk and receptionist, especially Adil he is such nice and professional guy, and staff and environment are outstanding.

Desventajas: Too many Old guest every where

Ventajas: We absolutely loved everything about our stay at the hotel. The staff were very warm, welcoming and helpful right to the time that we left. They had wonderful animation programs for all ages. I would definitely stay there again and have already recommended it to a few of my friends. One of the animation staff, Oscar, was extremely helpful and friendly and I give an extra shoutout to him.

Desventajas: Nothing! It was perfect

Ventajas: Outstanding property with outstanding staff. Very well appointed rooms with magnificent view. The staff, and each and every one of them were very friendly and caring. Excellent service. English could be a problem, but can be managed.

Ventajas: Most of all, what I did like was the excellent cleanliness everywhere, the room, the hallways, the territory and the restaurants are tidy to extreme levels, every now and then there's a person who cleans the door handles or every corner with disinfection solutions. No bad smells anywhere, the territory full of plants and flowers. The shower is good, though no rainshower, as you might expect from a 5-star hotel. The bed is ok. The food is terrific and very assorted, at least 50 dessert varieties for the dinner, same with other foods. The sea is close, just a minute walk from the territory. The pools are clean, and the evening show programme is basic but good. We had 2 special evenings during our 10 day stay when the restaurant is being decorated and they add some special food like caviar or some liquor to the menu. Also, there's an ice-cream cake for kids to enjoy these evenings. The ala carte restaurants were good, but the food didn't like too special from what we could eat regularly downstairs. Except it took longer to wait. The self-served BBQ evening was delicious, even as we had no idea of how to barbeque (not our habit) the cook helped us through the whole evening.

Desventajas: The biggest turn-off was the indoor pool, which was supposed to be heated but was cold for the kids, not more than 23-24 C. We had a visit at the beginning of May and even the sea was somehow warmer than the pools. Next thing, the noise amount is high to relax in the room. Was nearly impossible to sleep in the daytime, as the staff was cleaning the rooms with the vc all the time, screaming to each other constantly. A couple of times staff knocked not noticing the "Do not disturb" sign, and the mini-bar refill guy (pretty limited with just a can of beer and 3 cans of soda) knocked or came inside while we were asleep, not waiting long enough for us to wake up and let him in. The animation at some point got money-draining, as some activities required kids to pay. The water slides work a couple hours a day, and kids were unhappy with that. And the last thing, the personnel has really poor command of English, even though they fluently talk German and basic Russian, there were moments we couldn't understand each other, especially in the bars/restaurants. 3 of 5 times the bartenders didn't understand what I wanted. The cocktails in the pool bar are mediocre. No usual stuff like Mojito or Pina Coladas. The bartenders tried to help with that, but the results were wrong. So, let's break it down - Water Temperature, staff knocking, paid animation actvities, poor communication with personnel, bad cocktails.

Ventajas: Very well located. This hotel has everything you need and caters for the entire family. The staff are amazing. They even catered for our special request.

Desventajas: There is nothing not to like!!!

Ventajas: The hotel staff were friendly and always happy to meet our needs, no matter what time of day it was. The Guest relations manager, Aylin was a gem! Very helpful and always happy to assist with any queries we had (she even tried to help locate us a table at dinner time!) before arriving at the hotel, she ensured our transport was booked to pick us up and when we arrived, the service we received was top class. The Hamam with the Massage service is totally worth the extra cost and my husband and I loved it so much, we even went back several times during the week. The animation team are fantastic and make you feel like you are part of the gang. My daughter fell in love with Kitty and Picachu, who made sure she was always included and enterained (even playing with her in the Beach Disco, by the playground) The Kids disco was the highlight of my daughters evenings and her favourite part. The evening entertainment was fantastic, with something different every night and some of the shows felt like a night out in the West End! The food was phenomenal as they covered everything from fish and chips to the more local, Turkish delicacies, with something for everyone. I have never seen a desert station this big before!! Would definitely go back to this hotel again.

Desventajas: There is absolutely nothing bad to say about the hotel at all, as everything was spot on! The only thing I want to warn people about is the day trip we purchased from one of the tour operators, which was a day trip to Antalya with a stop off at a "Jewellery market" with a final stop at the Aquarium. The trip cost £33 per adult (Child free) but some of it was really a waste of our day. The Jewellery market is just a large show room where you are sent to spend an hour looking at the fancy necklaces and if you're like me and my husband (we wear minimal jewellery and not interested in jewels at all) it's a waste of an hour and super boring for a 4.5yr old. You are then taken to Antalya and near the port, but if you don't speak German then you miss out on all the tour as the tour guide only speaks German (I speak Turkish, but he didn't even translate what he was saying to me to Turkish so I could translate it for my husband, who is English. I had to ask him where we were meeting, where we would be going etc.) When we got to the city, he simply advised us to NOT walk around the city, but said he was taken some of the others to the "market", so we could follow them there or just see the cathedral in the city. We decided to not take his advise and by asking the locals, found the port and did a little walk around the old town. It's a shame, but the only thing I could say about Antalya is that it is a tourist trap! They charge everything in Euro (although Turkey isn't part of the Euro) so most things work out at X 4 the difference - (£1 = 4.50 YTL, £1 = 0.96 Euro) so you are charged nearly 4 lira for a bottle of water, or 82 lira for a small kebab roll and 2 ice coffees, which is unheard of even in the most touristic parts of Istanbul! Again, not a reflection on the hotel as they didn't book this, but once you leave the premises it just feels like everyone wants to take you for a ride. such a shame.

Ventajas: Stylish hotel with spacious rooms and very comfortable beds!! Amazing staff!!

Desventajas: Poor WiFi in my room, but excellent WiFi everywhere else, including the beach. The entertainment at night where not to my liking, but that’s a matter of taste!

Ventajas: Pretty much everything was spot on at the hotel. The room was perfect, clean and spacious. Hotel was very clean and really nice as well.

Desventajas: The outdoor pool was freezing so couldn't swim in it. Not many people were going in due to how cold it was. Indoor pool was great. The free 10 min massage they need to make it clear that it has to be used within one day and the staff at the spa shouldn't make it sound you only get it when you book a full treatment.

Ventajas: Its new and clean

Desventajas: Nothing to complain about

Ventajas: Clean hotel and very helpful staff

Desventajas: Should do continental food (English food)

Ventajas: The restaurant staff were lovely. The hotel is very new and very clean! Moses (best member of staff at Sungate!!)

Desventajas: The management didn’t tell us that there would be NO evening entertainment. Management told us that when we asked they would tell us. They told us because they were closing in a few days they didn’t feel it was necessary for there to be entertainment. We did explain that we had paid for the stay and we’re entitled to entertainment just as anyone else as the hotel has accommodated us. The children’s mini club was closed. The all inclusive food was Very repeatative and there was few dishes that changed seldom. The guest relations manager ( Yesim Cipriani) told my father in law (alone) that his transport to the airport will not be coming to the hotel, because he booked through the internet with (Holiday Taxis) she convinced him that only transfers made through travel agents will come to the hotel. She told him if he wishes to get to the airport on time he needs to book at taxi the day before for €65 - which he paid!!! As he was concerned he wouldn’t have transport back. When she also approached me alone just after this she told me the same that my transfer would not be coming and that I should also do what my father in law done and book a taxi, I then told her that I had paid already for a transfer and that I’m sure it will come and asked her to ring the number on my voucher. She rang the number which CLEARLY said thy confirmation for our transfers will come at 4pm the day before our departure. She pretended to not understand what the lady said on the phone. Then further told me from experience the confirmation will NOT come. To which I said I will wait and see as I’ve paid my money for transfers. When I heard that my father in law had paid €65 for a taxi I became very angry as I knew the kind of manipulation he had experienced from her. I told her that she had conned him and that she should’ve been patient and told him to wait for the confirmation. To which she told me ‘it was not her JOB to be sorting this kind of stuff’ - GUEST RELATIONS MANAGER???!

Ventajas: The View and Garden was absolutely amazing.

Desventajas: The Stuff was unfriendly especially at the Check IN. The Rooms are very old.

Ventajas: Very beautiful area, up to the sea no more than 100 meters, tasty and varied food. Ideal for a comfortable and relaxing holiday with the kids.

Ventajas: Cleanliness very good Location very good you can take the bus 10 min to nova mall 4 turkish lira Food very good hoping to extend the time of dinner to 22:00 Staff excellent, especially Farhan the barman he is always happy Slides are few hoping to put more

Desventajas: Minibar coolness is not good, you can not enjoy a beer

Ventajas: Location and facilities and most are the stuff Beauvoir.

Desventajas: The beach is not suitable for swimming specially for kids since it’s rocks and deep.

Ventajas: I love the resort in general, the food, the staff all of them are friendly and love the guest relations ( smiley office) all of them welcoming you with a smile on their faces, love the activities that you are having and the diversity of the shows, love the staff that many of them speak different languages. Thank you so much of the amazing nights that we spend in your resorts

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

Desventajas: Nothing bad everything very good

Ventajas: We loved everything about this hotel - modern, stylish, clean and beautiful. The food was amazing and great to have the option to eat in restaurants as well as the buffet. The location is stunning, right on the best part of the beach and a pleasant stroll to Side old town.

Desventajas: My only complaint was that the pool was too cold to swim in - which was disappointing for my kids aged 7 and 4. However the indoor pool was warm, and the sea was even warmer, so we enjoyed ourselves there!

Ventajas: Excellent food! Never dissatisfied with the options available, a huge selection and cooked to a very high standard. I stayed in the penthouse suite which was amazing, complete with jacuzzi. This hotel was very clean, with great facilities. It definitely was better than all the 4* I have stayed in. Completely worthy of the 5* rating! A great location and place to relax. I want to go back! Superb!

Desventajas: My only gripe is that that housekeeping did not come everyday nor deliver towels. However when we called reception they would always send someone up with them. No iron in the room, there should really be one in it. The pool bar had awful day time food. It was near the closing time when we went but very disappointing considering how brilliant the food is in the other restaurants.

Desventajas: Not by the sea

Ventajas: 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.

Desventajas: 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

Ventajas: Good

Ventajas: 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.

Desventajas: 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.

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

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

Desventajas: Nothing

Ventajas: 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.

Desventajas: 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.

Ventajas: 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.

Desventajas: 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.

Ventajas: 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!!!

Desventajas: There is nothing to dislike!!!

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

Ventajas: Comfortable and beautiful suit. Delicious food

Desventajas: Small territory. Hotel haven't any for rest with children

Ventajas: Great location. Nice, big clean room and comfortable bed. Staffs are friendly, special mention to Ms. Fatima Ata of the main Restaurant whose been extra friendly with the guests. Lot of choices of delicious foods. Nice pool and beach area.

Desventajas: Long waiting for elevator, coffee taste terrible..

Ventajas: Staff / location of hotell

Desventajas: All is good

Ventajas: Excellent service, we were treated like a family by the staff. The hotel facilities exceeded our expectations. Great facilities. Delicious local cuisine in the hotel restaurant.

Desventajas: I as a Turkish speaker and my wife as an English speaker felt completely as foreigners, almost as second class citizens in the hotel. You need to be a German speaker to feel comfortable. All the activities are in this direction and the staff mainly speaks german as first or second language. During the checkin the resort building did not have a POS device for foreign currency, had to be driven with the cart to the holiday village building to be able to pay. It was a little bit of an inconvenience. Lacking playgrounds for small kids. Our four year old didnt mind much since the pool was enough for her entertainment.

Ventajas: Really good hotel, especiallu staffs are awesome. No one would be regretful for staying in this hotel. I recommend everyone.

Ventajas: I liked everything the resort provide, all meals, helpful staff & great service, great room with a view wtc.

Desventajas: No comment

Ventajas: The view was good.

Desventajas: it is an old hotel. the staff there speaks Turkish, Germany and very little of English which was annoying, everyone there thought that we speak Germany!! The gym is very small, not clean and has old equipment.

Ventajas: Children really enjoyed the mini club, the food quality was good. Delicious crepes for breakfasts! The animation team is really good. Family room was spacious and comfortable. Good cleaning in the rooms. Simple and Good aqua park. The staff in the cafeteria were mostly positive and helpful and talkative. Nice beach area, sandy, but with big stones under water, it was not easy to get in and out after a wavy days when sand is washed off the stones under the water.

Desventajas: Short working time for water slides. Little to choose from at the bar(limited choice of alcoholic drinks and no snacks like nuts or chips, refuse to make non-alcoholic mojitos, no piña colada. We were here for three weeks and the teenager club was non-existent until the last few days meaning that the teenagers had nothing to do up until the middle of July and even when it started, the animators in charge poorly executed the activities. The daily pool game was 16+ along with darts and rifle shooting. The staff from spa and hair salon were a bit annoying, but willing to help. Some stuff at the canteen were looking tired and irritated. Mostly German guests therefore staff rarely understood english. The WiFi is HORRIBLE, there were only a few places in the whole hotel where it would work decently well (lobby/reception, peninsula house, next to the bathrooms in the cafeteria and under the lifesaving stick by the pool). Booking ranks as 5star, whereas German guests get it advertised/sold 4-4,5 stars.

Ventajas: Entertainment team were really good

Desventajas: The cocktails were not enjoyable

Ventajas: Good facilities The hotel upgraded my room without additional cost Most of the staff are very friendly It is good place for children’s

Desventajas: WiFi and even 4G coverage not good No tour agency in the hotel you should manage from outside by yourself or you have to use the taxies or you have to rent your car

Desventajas: The internet connection is not working very good...is the only thing that it wasn't nice. The rest was perfect for traveling with the children.

Ventajas: Very nice hotel, spotless, nice big rooms, very good value for the price

Desventajas: Beach towels are changed only once a week, no variety with regards to refreshments- only soda, water, cola and beer.

Ventajas: Good price, good service , comfortable for kids, nice beach

Desventajas: Nothing

Ventajas: Everything!

Desventajas: Room view

Ventajas: Very well kept complex, well organised, attentive staff. Food is good, with a decent variety.
