Honest review
Set just steps from the sea, this hotel offers guests a homely, welcoming holiday. The resort spreads across a stunning spot surrounded by greenery, not far from the Turkish town of Side. Everything that matters on holiday is here — pools of cool water, the beach and sea close at hand, a spa and massages, a kids' club for the youngest guests and shows for adults. There are shops on the hotel grounds, and the souvenir stalls and authentic local shops are just a 5-minute walk away.
The resort's rooms are homely and cozy, with designer touches lending them a special charm. Each has its own balcony, satellite television, air conditioning and a minibar stocked with water for your arrival. The spacious bathrooms, beyond the standard amenities, hairdryers, towels and bathrobes, are supplied with pleasantly scented cosmetic sets free of artificial fragrances. The hotel offers four room types: standard with a view of the grounds or a picturesque panorama of the sea, superior, and family, which consists of two full rooms.
Dining here is buffet style. The main restaurant serves Turkish and international cuisine, while in the bars you can enjoy a vast selection of classic and signature cocktails, wines and spirits.
The resort has several pools. Water attractions include slides, a sunbathing terrace and an aqua park. Also at your service are a gym, if you were not planning to skip workouts on holiday, a spa and wellness center to help restore body and spirit, plus a sauna and a genuine hammam.
The youngest guests have a kids' club, a shallow pool and a wonderful playground. If you are wary of leaving your child alone, the staff can arrange a babysitter on request to look after them while you enjoy some secluded rest.
Amara Family Resort is a Mediterranean classic and an excellent choice for a quiet, comfortable holiday on the coast.
