Side Mare Resort & Spa - All Inclusive

Very much catered for German people with occupancy being around 90%. Staff mainly speak German. Staff friendliness/Helpfulness mixed. Previous experiences in Turkey much higher in other Hotels than found in Side Mare. Especially the reception staff who are less than helpfull. Wifi drops on and off throughout the day. Cleanliness of Hotel very good. Good pool and beach area. Entertainment very poor.

Good food 👌🏻 Room is OK👍🏻 slippery floor around the pool area 👎🏻 some stuff are very unfriendly, rude - specially a guy that works in the restaurant, acts like he is doing us a favor 👎🏻 cleaning ladies friendly and keep room nicely clean 👍🏻 3 elevator that I could count - small and normal full and air inside gets stuff. If you have luck you may catch one, or you have to take the stair if you are not willing to wait! 👎🏻 Recommend staying in the floors near the ground/restaurant floors.

Group of friends visited with children aged 13-16 . The hotel is situated around 10 minsctaci ride outside Side centre . 10 euros in a cab.I.prefer a hotel that is nearer as I would have liked to walk. There us a shuttle bus to the beach, the beach is OK, not the best but there us a restaurant and bar u can use, included in all Inc. The hotel.is spotless. rooms are an OK size, only 3 of us in the room so we had enough space. Don't think they are big enough for a family of 4. We had a room with pool view which was nice. The food is lovely, so much choice and themed nights every few days. choices of Turkish, Mexican, Chinese dishes. The drinks on the other hand are not good.The beer is OK, but the spirits are poor, and the wine us undrinkable,. the only cocktail that was OK was the pink colada. Be aware the hotel is totally geared up to Germans, and Tussians, who could be quite rude at times, be prepared to get up at 6am to get a sunbed round the main pool. All entertainment is in German, and is rubbish to be honest.But there is a nice bar behind the wave pool, but they only play music for an hour 10-11pm. The kids loved the football pitches. and had nightly matches with other nationalities. Most of the staff are lovely, some of the bar staff are miserable, but a big shout out to the big guy at the pool bar and the lady on the reception bar in the evening. All in all a good hotel, not sure it's for the Brits , but a pleasant stay , gorgeous food, lots to keep the kids entertained , spotlessly clean .
