Honest review
A well-kept family resort three kilometres from Side: the grounds are not vast, but they are green and genuinely tidy — no conveyor-belt feeling.
The sandy beach is right next door, but there is one nuance better known in advance: the entry into the water is stony. Bring water shoes or swim from the pier — problem solved. On the beach: sun loungers, an alcohol-free bar and a snack bar.
Rooms are spread between the main building and the annexes; many have a full or partial sea view — clarify this when booking, the difference is tangible.
The kitchen is a pleasant surprise: breakfast brings freshly squeezed orange juice, red fish, several kinds of porridge, pancakes, croissants, pastries and a whole line-up of cheeses. For the shoulder season there is a heated indoor pool, working from November to April.
Old Side is a 45-minute stroll along the promenade or a short bus ride away. A good choice for families after a calm, well-groomed shore next to an ancient town.
