We were in Turkey for the seventh time already, for this tour we chose the city of Side with the opportunity to see the ancient places of this region. We chose a quiet (chamber) hotel, with normal service and food, and within walking distance to historical sites.

The Sun Beach Park & ​ ​ SPA 4 * hotel approached us according to these criteria. The check-in went very quickly and we received the key to room A 408, this is a family two-room suite (Femily) of a corner location (the bedroom window overlooked the pool of the Side Star Park 5 * hotel, and the living room balcony overlooked the wall of the building B of the hotel, although you could see a little from the side sea). Under the balcony there were kitchen air conditioners which were noisy but no noise was heard with the door closed. According to the voucher, we were booked a Standard class room, and we were settled in the best room without any additional payments. THIS IS VERY PLEASANTLY SURPRISE!! ! They explained that the standard rooms are all occupied.

The hotel has one five-story building divided into three buildings A, B, C - there are three elevators, in building A - mostly family rooms, in building B - standard and economy rooms, building C - standards (but worse). Each building has its own swimming pool and recreation area.

The room was renovated (good repair and fairly new furniture), everything worked, plumbing in perfect order. , safe for free. TV showed German, Polish and 4 Russian channels. The flooring is laminate. Slippers were provided, which was nice.

The room was cleaned daily, but there was not always a wet cleaning, however, 1.5 l - water and shampoos were replenished daily. Towels were changed as needed. Bed linen was changed once in 8 days of stay. The service is prompt, when we had a tap in the washbasin dripping, the manager at the reception (who put us in the room earlier) called a plumber in front of me and he immediately replaced the entire tap with a new one.
I've never experienced this kind of attitude in other hotels...

The food at the hotel should be noted as good. Breakfast is standard - cheeses, sausages, vegetables, pastries (delicious), several stewed vegetables, scrambled eggs, pancakes, etc. For lunch, in addition to raw vegetables, various stuffed peppers, etc. , there were always soups, 3-4 types of meat (chicken, turkey, beef) and fish dishes, side dishes for every taste, desserts - a huge selection, fruits - there were apples, plums, watermelon, grapes, oranges, gray fruit. Drinks: tea, coffee from the machine, yupi, fanta, cola, sprite. From alcoholic: red and white wine (sour - not for everyone), Effes beer, brandy, vodka, gin (you can drink). Other drinks (cocktails, Turkish coffee, fresh) for an additional fee.

For dinner: grilled meat or fish was added, mussels stewed with vegetables were given twice. Everything is very tasty!!!

Yes, and despite the pandemic, the hotel provides buffet meals - without individual distribution and queues.
Only there is a question of free tables, which is solved by the arrival an hour after the start of the meal.


The hotel is constantly occupied at about 80% - a large number of Germans, there are Poles, Russians and Ukrainians. The contingent of age, mostly - 60+. Until 2019, the hotel accepted only Germans, so the service staff strained with the Russian language, but you can explain yourself in broken English.

The bottleneck of the hotel is the beach. Yes, it is not very far away, 5-7 minutes walk, but there are only about 100 sunbeds on the main beach, which are engaged from early morning (6-7 am), although there is also an additional beach (250 meters to the right to the local gendarmerie building), there a little more than 100 sunbeds, which after 10 am are also all filled. Sunbeds, umbrellas, mattresses on the beaches are free, but beach towels cost $ 3, so it's better to take your own. With a large occupancy of the hotel, the issue of the beach is an edge and the owners need to solve it in the future ...
The sea is excellent - clean, the coast is sandy, the entrance is gentle and convenient for children, the depth begins - about 20 meters from the coast.

Well, perhaps that's all. Wi-Fi in the lobby is free, but weak, available in the rooms, but for a fee. There is no animation at all in this hotel, but we didn’t need it, in addition, every evening through the window we listened and watched live concerts from the neighboring five through the bedroom window.

Near the hotel there is a promenade (quay) with bars, restaurants and shops. Migros, Waikiki and a large shopping center are very close by. To the old (antique) city along the embankment is just over 1 kilometer (20 minutes at a leisurely pace).

A hotel for a relaxing and measured family vacation. Young people will probably be bored here.

We enjoyed our holiday in general. We will probably come to the hotel again, if there is a good offer for the price ...I am attaching a photo of the hotel (room).
