We rested in this hotel from 9.06 to 24.06. 25. Number 103. Right above the reception.
Number
Renovated. Soft beds, sofa. New furniture. Large balcony. Electronic card for entering the room. The room has one double bed, and one single. Good sound insulation. But the TV hangs so that it is not visible from the couch. And the table was disappeared from the number (he was in number 303 last year). The odd rooms are corner, even in the middle of the floor (they are smaller in area).
Beach
The wide - 4 rows of umbrellas of 12 in a row, that is, they will not be enough for all guests of the hotel (in 2024 there were 5 rows of 12 sunbeds - which is also few).
Beach battle is strange. I told him that hats of nails stick out from a wooden flooring on the beach, which is dangerous for children. The reaction was simply clogging of a particularly sticking self -tapping screw on the approach to the soul. All. On a wooden flooring on the beach barefoot, you need to walk very carefully !! !
Transfer to the beach on a bus with 15 sedentary places.
The driver - about 50 years with glasses are very friendly. When you are late for a flight, he stops even from the other from the hotel side of the road and is waiting for being late. Often, when there were a lot of vacationers, he made 2-3 flights at the declared time to the beach (usually at 16-00) and back from the beach at 18-00. At the same time, he and the scourge of the battle loudly called vacationers on the beach and at the hotel. This happened in 5-10 minutes. Until the planned time of departure and after it. Consider it. Thanks to him. Not to thank him for a good job is simply impossible.
Road to the beach
You can not only go to the beach by bus, but also walk. As you understand, to leave the beach at 18-00 with the last bus from the hotel for us is unacceptable. We were on the beach at least up to 19-00.
You have to go to the beach on 2 lane asphalt roads. To the right from the road there is a sign “Irem Beach”. We cross the road. We go towards the Irem Beach beach along a trampled wide path before her branch right.
Next, we again go along the way to the gate opposite the Dream of Side beach. Go about 20 minutes. We went to the beach on foot in the morning about 8-10, then about 11-00 to the hotel, and during the day because of the heat, at 16-00 we drove to the beach by bus, but in the evening we went to the hotel on foot.
Nutrition
Quite diverse. Each meal was watermelon and apples, often melon. There were pears, bananas and apricots. A large selection of cheeses, pickles, stewed and grill vegetables, chicken and beef meat, usually in 2-3 types. Once every 2-3 days, fish. A few side dishes. Soup - one view of lunch and dinner. Every day there was a variety of dishes - several side dishes and meat dishes, although Free potatoes were often. The restaurant has special low children's tables.
Photos with a schedule of power mode for a week are attached.
Alcohol
From strong: Rakia, Gene, vodka. The vodka was divorced - there is no dispenser in the bottle. I stopped taking it. The wine was white and red wine. Beer is so -so.
Staff
Very friendly.
Especially Catherine on the reception, a woman-barman and a bus driver. The impression was that the hotel staff understands the Russian language better than English.
Animation
In the evening there is a show with invited artists (low -level). I liked both Turkish night and live music. Although this ends within 0.5 hours, and then from 21-30 to 23-00 tourists just sit near the restaurant and drink something (the bar works 19-00 ...23-00).
Tourists
Russian -speaking (about 80%), Kazakhs, Poles, Germans.
Prices in Side
Compared to 2022, prices in grocery supermarkets Side rose 1.5 ...2.5 times. This refers to prices for: ice cream, juices in bags, Lukum, watermelon and white loaf. At the same time, the Turkish Lira course towards USD fell from only 36.05 TL in June 2022 to 39.3 TL in June 2025. The Turks are robbed. Going through the RO, VV or HB system in SID is now insanely expensive.
The pluses of the hotel
1. A friendly staff, especially Catherine on the reception, a bartender and a bus driver.
2.
Refined rooms with good sound insulation.
3. Free Wi-Fi in the yard around the reception, in terms of rooms and in a restaurant.
4. Wide beach.
5. Delivery from the hotel to the beach and back has significantly improved.
6. Close (10-20 minutes on foot) as large stores (A-101, Migros, Carefour, LC Waikiki, etc. ) and the ruins of the ancient side (not all of them were surrounded by a fence).
The disadvantages of the hotel
1. The door did not lock on the balcony.
2. An open restaurant without air conditioning - it is hot in it during the day.
3. In the shower or boiling water or cold water - it is difficult to adjust the normal temperature.
4. In the afternoon there is no protection at the entrance to the hotel.
Excursions
In contrast to 2022, most of the ancient objects in the SID were surrounded by a fence and require 10 euros for the entrance. There is a nuance. It is necessary to pay 10 euros for the entrance in Turkish lies. The euro for lira changes at the rate of 1 euro - 43.5 lire, and 10 euros for the entrance must be paid at the rate of 1 euro - 46.56 lire.
Yes, the Turks were still engaged in obvious stupidity - they restore the main attraction of Side the temple of the applon.
About 15 allegedly broken new columns were installed - and the whole charm of the Apolon temple disappeared.
They also ruined the fountain at the entrance to the Sid with a retaining in the form of porticoes and columns. The amphitheater is closed for repairs - a lifting crane is installed on its territory.
We went to Aspendos (35 km from Side). Just delight. As if once again visited the Crimea in the New World or the environs of the Sudak fortress (very interesting slides and vegetation there). Entrance - 15 euros at the rate of 46.5 TL. There is no exchange in Aspends, but the card reader is faulty - bring the lira with you.
The amphitheater, the best of the preserved in Asia Minor, did not make an impression - we saw too many amphitheaters before that. But the 2 -storey viaduct with a 5 -storey house high, and even with somewhat fragments of its continuation I really liked it. In Aspendos there are intensive “restorative” work to bring Aspendos to some completely fictional “archaeologists” species.
It is very hot there during the day, but at the same time you eat less food.
