My first experience with vacation in Turkey and must say, I am really excited. In short: Room The room is modern, cleaned every day and standard equipment. We had side view to the sea with balcony. Nice view to Side, not disturbing from other hotels. In the room is also available towels to the beach, no need to carry any from home. Every day is refilled drinks in the fridge (water, Fanta, Coca cola, beer). In the hotel is available wi-fi, with reach to the beach. Food I like food and what was served in the hotel is absolutely amazing. a large selection of different type of meals. Everybody could choose what they like, lot of vegetables, fruits and meats. Theme dinner was brilliant, so every day you can taste something special. Amazing seafood, traditional Turkey cuisine, Mexican, Asia or International cuisine. amazing starters and sweets. It was great (thank you cooks). The staff speaks german and english, so its easy to order drink and they are always happy to help with anything. Entertainment Pool or aqua park is OK, you can stay in the hotel in the pool, or walk 5 minutes to the aqua park with other pool and enjoy water slides especially children. Each pool has own bar, so you will not be thirsty or hungry. Beach is close to the hotel, only what you need is cross the promenade. In the beach is fridge with cold water, or you can go to the beach bar and order some drink or enjoy popsicles. No problem to find spot with sunshade. The beach is clean, no dirt, so if you have children, perfect place for entertainment. In the evenings was always some show at pool or amphitheatre. Or if you want to have calm evening, just stay in lobby bar and enjoy some drink. Surroundings Close to the hotel is Side old town. If you are keen on history, nice museum and amphitheatre (entry is paid in Turkish lira) but very nice exposition with old relics of Rome age. You can go there by foot, roughly 30 minutes on promenade, or you can use bus or taxi. In the old city, there are a lot of shops, restaurants. We enjoyed the stay in the hotel and I can recommend this hotel for everybody, ideal holiday with childrens. I am looking forward to next stay in this hotel. Thank you Melas team!
