Honest review
A resort whose gastronomy deserves studying first — it is arranged more interestingly than it seems. The main buffet is not hugely varied, though the cooking is good — guests say so themselves. But the five à la carte restaurants are free for dinner: international, fish, Turkish, Italian and sushi. Add a snack restaurant with menu service at lunch, a patisserie with coffee and desserts from morning to evening, and seafood at dinner once a week. Advice: build your dinners around the à la cartes — they are the real dining here.
The location is walkable: Side and its amphitheatre are a stroll along a comfortable promenade; there are taxis and public transport, and the drive from the airport takes about an hour.
The grounds are green, with plenty of trees and shade. The zones are kept apart: a relaxation pool on one side, active animation on another, and a mini club and their own pool for children.
The sea comes with a caveat: the entry is gentle and comfortable for bathing with children, but there are many stones at depth — pick your spot carefully. At extra cost: catamaran, banana boat, waterskiing, jet ski, parasailing.
A format for families and for anyone who likes to pair the beach with walks into ancient Side.
