“Poor Experience”

Upon arrival we had a good impression of how the hotel looked as we walked in. However checking in was a different story! We booked a sea view “hotel room” so when we were escorted out of the hotel, across the road, in between the shops and up some stairs and into a room we were very quickly disappointed. We refused the room and went directly back to reception where the guy on reception was extremely rude, unhelpful and generally miserable (Ahmed was his name). We were then taken out the other side of the hotel down a gravel path and steps where there was cat food everywhere with insects crawling over it. We were then shown into another room, this was worse than the first. A tiny room, which smelt of damp the shower was covered in mould. You could not walk round the bed due to how small the room was. We were not happy but were informed we had to stay there at least until the next morning when we could speak with the manager. Well, we didn’t bother unpacking as there was no way I was ever going to spend a second night in the room. The bed linen unclean had stains on the sheets, everything in the room was broken. Air con would come on for 10-15 mins and make an horrendous noise then would switch off and not go back on, we called reception, someone came out did something with the electrics and got it working again. Well only for another 10 mins, then off it went again. Another phone call, another visit this time the maintenance guy tried showing us what to do with the electrics! To make it work, no way was we touching the mains. 3rd phone call to reception about the non working air con this time they just hung up and nobody came. Unbearable hot night, we didn’t really sleep. Next morning, spoke to manager explained situation and complained about what we had been given in replacement to what we had booked. We kept getting told hotel is full, funny how when my husband threatened to come and sleep in the lobby all of a sudden there was a room available that we had to pay €30 a night on top of what we had already paid. 3rd room was what we believe we booked in the first place. Room was lovely spacious and more importantly clean. Housekeeping was good, although apparently they are not allowed to top up the fridge with drinks once you drink them! You only get the drinks in the fridge upon arrival, once gone they are not replaced. We spent majority of our time at the beach during the day. The pools were really quite boring and unwelcoming! Food was repetitive, and got to the point of not looking forward to eating. Some organising needs to happen, some guests form a queue whereas others just push themselves through and have no consideration for anyone waiting. They say they cater for different nationalities however we found the hotel catered more for one nationality. Unfortunately with rude staff and equally rude guests, the bad experience with rooms, lack of different meals and poor entertainment, I will not recommend staying here and I certainly would not return (ever). Such a shame because it could be an amazing hotel with the right staff and not being taken into some shabby rooms before being charged to stay in a room that you have already paid for.

“Be careful when booking”

Hey . Well this is 100 % honest....I always read reviews and go on many holidays . Yes, I knew it was budget, and I believe you get what you pay for . I've just returned after one week with my partner. Arrived late . The hotel looked lovely and was impressed. Then got taken out of the back door of the hotel over a road down a scruffy path to one of the "AMEX" bungalows NOT ON THE ADVERTISED PICTURES TINY ROOM .SCRUFFY .SHOWER DIDN'T WORK . NOISY AIR CON. STRAIGHT BACK TO RECEPTION AT 2AM . TOLD TO COME BACK IN THE MORNING . WOKE UP AND THERE WAS SEWAGE DIGGUNG OUTSIDE THE ROOM . AWFUL MAINTANNCE WORK IN THE LANDING HOTEL MANGER RUDE ABOUT IT returned to speak to the manager AGAIN Paid 120 pounds for a room upgrade . SHOULD HAVE BEEN NO CHARGE ARGUED THE TOSS BUT HAD TO PAY SHOWED THE MANAGER THE SEWAGE PICS AND SHOWER NIT WORKING ECT WASNT THERE PROBLEM. The room was amazing in the main hotel Well worth the upgrade . But what a waste of a day ... New room amazing...but no hangers it was what they call the penthouse. WELL WORTH 120 POUNDS BUT DONT THINK WE SHOULD HAVE PAID Food ok ... no English speaking guests .doesn't bother me that, though. Bus to the beach and back. Beach bar ok . Same food daily. Beach ok had better . Bus to side 10 mins pretty place on the harbour .

“Good rooms, decent food, evening events could be better”

Just returned from 10 day holiday at Side Alegria Hotel & Spa. We had 2 rooms, I was in one, and my daughter and her boyfriend in another. Rooms are good, spacious, clean, air condition works well, good showers and balcony. Food is fine, queues can get quite long as the food area is not very big. Choice is decent, very good Turkish cakes to go with decent Truish tea. Coffee in restaurant was awful, juices usual hotel fare, drinkable but nothing special. The young ones were used the pools and beach a lot, no problem in late July getting sun beds. The area around the hotel is full of the usual Turkish shops selling fake clothes etc - but is lively. Having bee to other areas near Antalya, I found this area quite expensive in general. The evening entertainment was hit and miss - it is the usual dance and music groups that do the rounds of all the local hotels. A couple were good, a couple quite bad. Main issue I found is the pool bar closed strictly 23:00 every night, and often people were getting in a good mood and dancing etc, and they just kill it off by shutting down. I found the animation team to be not particularly inspiring - only really experienced them in the evening time as I was not doing the pool stuff, but they just strutted out the same stuff every night, and the one attempt at Bingo was pretty dreadful. But this is generally what you get going to these hotels Went into Side a couple of times (1m mins on the bus from outside the hotel), it is a nice small town and the archeological stuff is very impressive, worth going there to experience that alone. The other town in the area, Manavgat is disappointing - big and ugly, the "bazaar" mostly the same tat you get in the local shops near the hotel. I had never awful group in the room next door, some screaming and fighting in the room at 3 o'clock clock in the morning, but that can happen anywhere I guess. Overall it was fine, and if you don't set your expectations too high a decent spot to relax for a week or so.

“Not the best”

Location is very good. It has no atmosphere and the staff were glum and unfriendly except for Melissa from the animation team and the housekeepers. The room was lovely with a sea view and was clean and fresh every day. The lobby smells of stale smoke. You only get one key so if one wants to go to the room early the other has to wake you up to get in. The food is average and the drinks were okay but not nice so we went to the near bar for decent cocktails. The pool areas are clean and the poolside cafe had the usual salad and chicken and pizza. This is not a five star hotel and customer services needs to drastically improve.
