SideNewest Review: ... make were good enough, too (and went for free). S p o r t f a c i l i t i e s. If I were the big cheese at Side Hotel, I would make its fitness corner twice as big. In addition, they have a tennis court, two swimming pools for adults (one in-house) and one swimming pool for the kids. Most of the v i s i t o r s were either from Germany or from Russia. My impression was that the Germans were ... more |

I spent two splendid weeks with my wife and son in Side Hotel on 11-25 June 2000. Ours was an "all inclusive" package, and I will expand below on major points of that "all". The h o t e l is situated in Kumkyi, a village some 70 km away from Antaliya. It consists basically of two blocks of flats: Side Annex (4*) and Side Hotel (5*) itself. The former is negligibly further away from the beach than the latter. The restaurant is in the five-star building, with an open terrace offering a picturesque view of the sea and the cove.

After doing the package deal to Olu Deniz three times we decided to just get a flight and book ourselves into pensions. (It was so cheap in Olu Deniz we thought we would try it ourselves.). We got a flight to Dalaman and back handed a rep to get us on her coach to Side. We had no trouble getting a pension (small hotel). Really cheap. The trouble was, although an advertised resort, there was nothing to do there. The resort was about the size of a 400 metre track and most of it was stalls with a few ancient relics. I got through about 4 books during our stay! We wondered about going to Olu Deniz but the coach and taxis would take too long and prove costly. Still, we know ... Read the complete review
