Side Square Hotel

Just came back from a week's all-inclusive holiday at the Side Square Hotel. I'm glad we ignored all the bad reviews..it was fabulous for the price we paid! We arrived in the early hours and there was a delay with the room being ready but the reception staff explained this and ensured we had drinks and were comfortable whilst we waited and came and sa with us for a chat. We saw some packed lunches for guests who were checking out and when we asked they gave us one each. All the hotel staff were friendly and majority spoke good English, for those who didnt we managed anyway. All the staff worked really hard and were attentive to make our stay great....and it was! All inclusive food was fine, there was enough variety throughout and was plentiful ..typical Turkish food and we had no complaints. There's enough bars and restaurants in the vincinty to eat out as well, which we did some nights as it so so cheap. Good choice for all inclusive drinks ..local beers, spirits and a list of 6 cocktails as well as soft drinks, self service bottles of water and tea/coffee. If you wanted a more exotic cocktail or top shelf drink then you paid extra...again prices were reasonable. Beds were make everyday and floors mopped. The bonus of this holiday was the hotel was 16 years plus so it contributed to the relaxed vibe. Definitely recommend the side square hotel! I don't understand the bad reviews ...for the price you pay just have realistic expectations and if you're nice to staff, they're nice back!
