A calm, atmospheric hotel. We had a rest with my daughter, we really liked everything, we recommend it.
Great food, quality service, bar, very tasty cocktails.
I also want to mention the animation team, the guys are doing their job well. Activities such as aqua aerobics, yoga, darts, volleyball are just great. Evening events are always different and very interesting. Thanks Acanthus, it's just super
We had a rest in July at this wonderful hotel! We liked absolutely everything! Especially the service . We were treated well in restaurants , thanks a lot to the waiters, very nice guys !
The pool bar was also very memorable to us, the bartenders made very tasty cocktails, with a beautiful serving. The pool is very warm, clean, it was nice to swim in it and spend all the time. There is also a bar in the lobby where we sat after the evening program.
There are comfortable sun beds on the beach, and a code under the umbrella, by clicking on which we could order cocktails, it is very convenient!
We remember the animation program, the evening events are different every day, and very exciting. Animator Julia, a very sweet and kind person, always helped and accompanied. Aerobics, darts, volleyball and exercise in the morning every day. The animation team made our vacation fun!
I recommend this hotel to everyone, we will definitely return!
We are currently staying with our spouse at the hotel from September 6th to September 18th. This is our 4th September at this hotel. We love small compact hotels. The food is just a delight! Respect to the chef of the hotel! A huge selection of dishes - you can't try everything)….A huge selection of fruits, sweets, ice cream.... The room is cleaned daily, there are enough sun beds. The sea is warm and clean! Many thanks to all the staff of the hotel for a wonderful stay. We hope to meet again next September!
We are resting at this time. October 2024, the air temperature is 30-32 degrees. A quiet hotel. There are practically no slides for a measured rest, entertainment for young people and children. The food is excellent, the cleaning is excellent, the beach is private, the hotel is through a 2-meter footpath. There are a lot of sun beds, there are always free ones. In the morning, no one runs around with towels to take up space. I recommend it for a relaxing holiday.
The food is excellent, the service is also different, the staff is different (there are very courteous, and there are arrogant and arrogant (in halls where there are fewer people, (straight hazing))they know where to hide in order to work less, but more tips), sleep Only after 23, before that just unhealthy loud low-frequency animation with visiting amateur artists (a la karaoke), the territory is zero, only the building and the pool, the beach is good, but the people are dark, hiking is not in High! You will be breathing down your back, you will get tired of giving in and dodging oncoming pedestrians, Belek will seem like paradise to you., the rooms are just rubbish, we had a vanity penthouse of 60 square meters. I don't know how or who thought, a narrow pencil case (one room), a worthless balcony with a Jacuzzi, no one was basking in them, except for the woman in the advertising booklet. The pool is cold, no one swam, they swam in the sea, there are rooms with personal pools, I saw how a woman tried to climb into her cold pool, but did not dare, these rooms are unclaimed (or designed for trusting respectable)
The hotel spends a lot on food, there is a lot of it, everyone is crowding, but it does not end, they put it in, it is quite tasty. The wine is only local for free, I didn't like it, but here it's a matter of taste, I ordered cocktails gin and tonic - fine, pinot colada- something is wrong((
The restaurant is good only the main one and saffron, by the pool - it's better not to eat, everything is overcooked and tasteless
During the week we spent at the hotel, we had a lot of fun, we rested. Everything is thought out to the smallest detail. The food was better than we expected. The evening shows were successful. You can attend many interesting events during the day. Special thanks to Tugba from the animation team. Come relax at this hotel without hesitation.
Everything is at the highest level!!! Staff, food, bar and live music. As well as a beautiful view of the sea and everything around. I highly recommend this hotel for a vacation!!! The location is very convenient for walking distance in different directions!!!
A good place, slightly overshadows the situation with towels by the pool (take up space before breakfast). Otherwise, I liked everything. The beach is wide and well-maintained. The food is top notch.
I really like the hotel. Probably not very good for children, but it's great for adults and lazy people. The sea and the pool are nearby. The entrance to the sea is flat, sandy. The promenade to the old town is 20 minutes. The food is great!!! The rooms are fresh, the cleaning is excellent. There is not a very comfortable moment, the evening show until 11.00 is heard in all rooms, whether you want it or not. But only until 23.00, tolerable.
This hotel is above all praise!,Everything is done for the guests.The staff is responsive, they try their best! Excellent cuisine, several restaurants!The rooms are gorgeous!The sea is just a stone's throw away!It's all for five!
A wonderful hotel, small, cozy, modern, everything is thought out to the smallest detail and everything is for the convenience of guests. We specially chose a quiet hotel, here everything is in moderation and animation, discos and entertainment. The beach is wonderful, the sand is clean, the sea is also clean and warm, the approach to the sea is smooth, without pits and stones. The sun beds are comfortable, there are always places. The food is delicious, there is something new every day. The staff is not intrusive, but attentive. The rooms are cleaned every day. A good spa, girls from Bali work. You will definitely find your place on the territory, whether it is a beach, a swimming pool or cozy recreation areas on the lawn under palm trees. In general, I recommend people who just want to take a break from the hustle and bustle, relax, the hotel staff will certainly take care of it. Thanks
Great hotel. Delicious, comfortable, good service, the audience is mostly elderly. Direct access to the promenade along the sea.
The territory is not large, the windows of some of the rooms overlook the street, which does not have a large bar. In the evening it does not bother, but in the morning empty dishes are loaded - it really hits the ears. Elderly public - there are pros and cons) Well, the nuance that surprised me - at the time of departure, after the check-out, they ran to check the number… And they even seemed to want me to wait for the result))) We were able to surprise you right away)))
Gentlemen, this, along with Lara in Antalya, is the flagship Barut. And in any Barut, it just doesn't happen badly. Alas, the prices for 2025 are not encouraging at all! But if you can afford it, this hotel is the standard of quality in absolutely everything. And in 2025-we booked Acanthus for the 7th time! Of course, our favorite penthouse. Everything is already familiar and loved. Expensive, but very cute!!! We arrive as if at home. And what kind of dish is there on the menu! Just the pride of the hotel, not the dish! There is no such kufte in the neighboring Barut Andiz! I do not accept critical reviews, the penthouse is a real VIP accommodation, with excellent sound insulation, two sinks, a service area and a luxurious balcony with a Jacuzzi. Bottom line: Acanthus is the starting point for all other hotels in Side. From the wishes: put 1-2 shields with a basket ring, they take up little space, and the benefits are huge!
Good afternoon to everyone who reads the review. We visited this hotel at the end of May . The hotel is located on the first coastline from the sea. I must say the hotel is very small. There is nowhere to walk except the embankment. I tried to take a photo of the territory to the maximum. The price of a vacation for 7 days is off the scale, and it has not yet begun June and the holidays have not come (the price has sounded 2 times more expensive to us since June). For what it is not clear. Who is looking for peace and complete silence: this hotel is for you.
I'll write right away. If you plan to go to the Sede center or the old town, Manavgat : take public transport. A taxi to Manavgat from the hotel costs 450 liras, and by minibus it is only 35.
Sede is not like Belek and Kemer. Here the rest is completely different and the hotels are different. There are mockeries of hotels, apartment buildings, and a market here. There 's a hotel on the hotel . The coastline: these are solid deck chairs, people like a herring in a barrel. And it's only the end of May.
Now everything is in order. The flight was overnight by Turkish Airlines. Perfect as always. We were brought to the hotel at about 9 a.m. What can I say about the reception and reception. There are practically no Russian speakers. They said that they had to wait 12 hours to check into the room. At the appointed time, we were shown a room with a view of the road (noise, dust, din). I asked to change the number. They said to wait until 14 o'clock, not earlier. The room is standard and ordinary. No frills. Nice bed. The pillows are gorgeous. The room has bathrobes and slippers. There is no toothpaste and no brush. There is no razor. So take your own or ask at the reception. They give it reluctantly. Cleaning is done superficially, but every day. The bar is filling up. Cola Fanta sprite water...... That's all. What is stated in the presentation is not there.
A beach bag is provided upon check-in. High-quality.
What can I say about the hammam and the bathhouse. This is not what you expect at all. There is no towel at all. Everything is empty. You will come out of the sauna with nothing to wipe yourself with. We need to take it from the room. There is no tea there. Only water from the boiler.
Along the beach : sun beds are available. The course into the water is gentle. Small. Sand. The water is a little cloudy. At the end of May, the water is already warm. It wasn't hot. But very comfortable.
On nutrition. What to say . Everything is there, for every taste in small quantities. The food is delicious. But there is not much choice. There are natural juices. Smoothies are very tasty. Decent dinners: meat, fish, vegetables, fruits, cheeses. Everything is there . everything is fresh.
I can't say anything about alcoholic beverages, because I don't drink. We went to a fish restaurant . I really, really liked everything. The soup is very tasty, shrimp, octopus. The hotel has themed dinners every evening. During the week that we were at the hotel, there were two seafood dinners. Great. There is a separate restaurant where you can have breakfast, lunch and dinner. Very tasty (especially muesli, and poached egg with avocado).
There is a pastry shop. It's small, of course, but sweets, cakes, coffee, tea are delicious. Especially delicious ice cream. Delicious coffee.
Of the bad things that I noticed: the hotel is of a high level, and the dishes from which are served with chips, the napkins are torn. These are small things, but the hotel is expensive and has a high rating....
On the territory of the hotel. You can get around it all in 15-20 minutes. It's all clear. Nicely. But a very small area. There is only one pool . The hotel is very calm and quiet. Animation in the evening. Good.
A big plus is that the hotel staff eats separately from the guests. This is very correct of me.
Thank you very much to the hotel for a wonderful vacation. Delicious quality food, peace and comfort. I am very glad that I came to this hotel. In my opinion, this hotel is for those who are looking for silence, minimalism and peace. You will not see luxury here. The price tag for a stay at this hotel is expensive. For the same money, you can relax in Belek Kemer, Dolman in premium class hotels with the best service and territory (Rixos premium Belek, Rixos premium Tikurova, Silectum Luxury resort, Akra Fethiye Tui Blue Sensatori). And you can get much more from your vacation than here. Think about it and compare it before you go to this hotel.
We had a rest in early August 2023. The territory of the hotel is small, but very beautiful, modern and well maintained. The hotel is not very big and this was a plus for us. There is no rush at lunches and dinners, sun beds are always available at any time on the beach.
Of the advantages:
1. Very tasty food, some new dishes every day. There are a lot of desserts and fruits: strawberries, cherries, nectarines, peaches, watermelons, melons, grapes, etc. Sea bass or Dorado fish almost every day, were with seafood. Quite decent wine and cocktails.
2. Every day there is some kind of entertainment program in the evening on stage, but only for adults.
3. Wooden deck chairs, a special person on the beach comes up opens an umbrella, shakes the sand off the mattress, you can order drinks on the beach using the QR code on the umbrellas, the waiter will bring.
4. The beach with sand is wide, the entrance to the sea is smooth. The sea is hot.
5. The cleaning is normal, everything is clean and cleaned quickly.
6. In the children's club, the girls speak Russian.
Of the cons:
1. A place with waves. When there was no wind, the waves were small and it was fun. But for 3 days out of 10 there was a very SMALL breeze and the waves were unbearable, because of them the sea immediately became dirty from algae, you came out all in pieces of incomprehensible, you had to swim in the pool. For me, this is the most significant disadvantage of this hotel.
2. The town itself didn't really come to me either, the hotel is great when you go out - people are like ants, you can't walk along the promenade quietly, crowds of people.
3. A good shopping center is only in Antalya, if you are a lover of shopping, you are not here. There are only market stalls with junk and cheap replicas nearby.
4. For children, all entertainment is only in the children's club, which is on the 2nd floor, there is nothing on the street. (this is both a plus and a minus, the hotel is designed for adults and because of this there are not as many children as in children's hotels - which is a plus for me, but the children wanted to frolic in the evening, so they entertained themselves in the evening).
5. There are no dancing parties in the hotel, we only danced for a couple of days, the rest we just sat and watched the concert program. If you're hanging out, you're not here.
I really liked the hotel, for a quiet and delicious vacation here, you will definitely be satisfied.
What to see: we took a taxi to the Manavgat waterfall, called at the reception, a walk for 1-2 hours maximum, it's not bad, you can do it for a change. It is also not worth buying an excursion to the ancient Side (the tour operator tried to cram us in). It takes 20 minutes along the promenade and all the ancient excavations can be viewed. We went on a tour of the Demre of the World + I really liked the boat.
We liked the tour operator Loti in general.
My best vacation, food, atmosphere is a buzz. The sea is great for families with young children. I prefer a pebble beach with a deep sea.
The Side City Museum and the ruins of ancient buildings are not far from the hotel.
The service is at a high level. A lot of Germans and British are vacationing at the hotel. There are fewer Russians.
The animation is unobtrusive, there is yoga, volleyball, darz, boccia. Evening concerts. There is no children's animation.
The hotel is not new, I really liked the food and service, it's bad that they bring bottled drinks in the restaurant area. Good cocktails and selective teas, not tea bags. The compact territory and the hotel itself. In general, the hotel has a very pleasant aftertaste, due to the staff. The sea is close, across the boardwalk. There is a promenade along the sea, which is also convenient, there is a place for walking.
Positive:
1) Excellent cuisine, one of the best in almost 20 trips to Turkey. For her sake alone, in general, you can go. There are few dishes, but they are all very tasty without exception. This can be said about both the buffet and a la carte restaurants;
2) A small hotel, as a result, there are in principle few people in it, there is no constant jostling and pandemonium, and all points of activity in the hotel are located extremely compactly;
3) Very clean beach;
4) High-quality alcohol (including own production);
5) The hotel is popular with tourists from Western Europe and unpopular with tourists from the CIS;
6) In the hotel shop there are extremely convincing replicas of branded bags, clothes, etc. From the real Louis Vuitton it is impossible to distinguish from the word at all, compared with the present. It may be useful for someone to get Philip Plein shoes for 100 euros instead of 10,000 euros;
Subjective disadvantages:
1) The hotel itself is small. For some, this may be a disadvantage, since there is not a large area for walking, and the pool of activities is very limited;
2) There is no bar and pier on the beach, which is very rare in my experience, and it was very upsetting, since I like to sit on the pier in the evenings;
3) There are no water sports and entertainment in the hotel, which is not very sad, since they are available in two neighboring hotels (but still slightly exaggerates the colors);
4) There is no water park, and there is only one pool. Uncritical, but unpleasant;
5) A small gym, which is worth going to only in the morning, as it is crowded in the remaining hours;
6) There are no snacks in the minibar, only drinks
7) SPA activities are not very diverse. A couple of baths, a swimming pool and several types of massage;
8) There are no activities in the hotel for youth recreation: there are only two bars, no nightclub, disco and a game area with billiards, bowling and others like them;
Objective disadvantages:
1) Slow service in bars and restaurants. Tables in a restaurant often stand for 20 minutes without serving, and plates are taken away only if asked;
2) There are no napkins on the tables in restaurants, it is very inconvenient;
3) Ventilation problems in the corridors of residential buildings: stuffiness and the smell of mustiness in the corridors are extremely annoying;
4) When opening the balcony in the room, the air conditioner turns off, it has to be turned on again;
5) Residential buildings are located close to each other, it is impossible to go naked to the balcony, since it is perfectly visible from the building opposite;
Resume:
A compact hotel for a quiet family holiday. A good option for those who just want to lie on the beach, eat delicious food and drink beer in the bar by the pool, but for those who like more active pastime, the hotel can provide almost no activities. It is worth going in pairs without children, there is almost nothing for them either, except for a bunch of cats on the territory (allergy sufferers should take antihistamines)
We stayed at this hotel in early August 2023. We liked everything very much, the varied food was in the main restaurant, it seemed to us that it was better than in themed restaurants. Wonderful cocktails. Wonderful cakes and sweets in the pastry shop. The staff is polite and friendly. The rest was a success, if it works out, we will definitely come again. The only thing is the way from / to the airport, it is better to take an individual transfer or taxi.
In the "beach hotel" category, Acanthus Cennet Barut Collection scores 5 out of 5 points in my rating. 🙌🏻
1. The beach and the sea. The beach has a blue flag: the water is very clean, the sea is calm, the entrance to the sea is long and gentle, which is great for children. The beach is sandy. In late September and early October, the water temperature was 27 degrees. The hotel's sun beds are located in 4 rows, each a few meters apart, so it is very comfortable to be on the beach: there is no crowding, no one interferes with each other. For comparison, in other hotels on the same line, the sun beds are located in 6,7,8 rows, close to each other… By the way, the beach beds of this hotel are wooden, not plastic, which, of course, is more aesthetic and environmentally friendly. At the same time, there are both single sun beds and sofas (in fact, 2-seater sun beds).
2. Beach service. An unlimited number of towels are provided for use, there is a refrigerator with cold water, mineral water and some kind of local milk drink like ayran on the beach + the same drinks are periodically delivered on a trolley around the perimeter of the beach (for those who are too lazy to go themselves). Each beach umbrella has a QR code that allows you to order drinks from the pool bar (cocktails, alcohol, juices, cola, etc.). They are brought quickly enough.
3. Entertainment on the beach. Periodically, the animators of the hotel invite you to a beach volleyball or a petanque party, but everything is very delicate and unobtrusive.
4. Sunbathing areas. On the territory of the hotel, the sun beds are already plastic, but there are a lot of them, and they are located in locations for every taste: by the pool, on the lawn under palm trees, on the wooden veranda and even on the terraces of the rooms on the top floor. That is, people can actually choose even the surface on which their place of rest will be located.
5. Guest service. Quick check-in much earlier than the generally accepted 14:00 (no extra charge), late check-out of only 20 euros / hour is also no problem (although it probably depends on the load, we arrived at the end of September and left in early October). There is a special chat on WhatsApp with a Russian-speaking employee who really responds quickly to questions, requests, etc. In addition, the hotel has an excellent mobile application (at least on iOS), where, in addition to information about the hotel, you can, for example, book a table at restaurants a la carte
6. Contingent. The guests of the hotel were mainly from three countries: Germans (the absolute majority), British and Russians. The average age is about 50 years old, although there were also young couples with children. I'll make a remark about the children: the concept of the hotel is absolutely not for children, there are no special entertainments, slides, animators for children (except for a simple children's room), so parents who prefer to hand over their children to caregivers and go hang out by the pool themselves are clearly not here. Due to the above circumstances, the atmosphere is quiet, calm and friendly. It is significant that during my stay at the hotel (10 days), there was never a situation when at 8:00 in the morning all the sun beds would be occupied with some things /towels, the owners of which had already "booked" them for themselves at night! There were always free places in any location of the hotel, and in general, people go to the pool / beach en masse no earlier than 10 o'clock, probably.
7. Entertainment. In the evenings, there are a wide variety of shows every day: circus performers, dancers, singers, acoustic concerts, etc. Cool sound, light and scenery, especially considering that this is a beach hotel in the Turkish province. There is also dancing or live music at the bar at 16:00.
8. Alcohol. This point will probably be important to many, taking into account the all inclusive concept. The choice is good, both for strong alcohol (for example, from gins, including Bombay Sapphire, Hendricks), and for everything else (for example, 4 types of beer). Also included in the package are basic Turkish wines (by the way, quite tolerable) + in the expanded menu, for a fee, you can choose more refined options from different countries to your taste (starting from about 30 euros).
It is worth mentioning the cocktail cards separately: there is one in the pool bar, and another in the bar closer to the sea (there are really great cocktails from classics to branded local options).
9. Food. A huge variety of dishes + frequent themed dinners (local cuisine, Asian cuisine, Mediterranean cuisine). There are 3 a la carte restaurants, each with its own menu, you need to book a table for dinner in advance.In addition, even in the morning and afternoon, the restaurants in the hotel offer their own menu. For example, in the morning, healthy breakfasts are prepared a la carte in the Roka hotel restaurant (muesli with berries, fresh fish, smoothies, gluten-free pancakes, etc.), and in the afternoon there is a separate large menu of sushi/rolls/Asian salads. There is a cafeteria available all day, with a huge amount of delicious desserts, ice cream and wonderful coffee. The areas for eating have been thought out: there are several halls with their own "chips" (the hall "without children" and the hall "mobile phones"), a large veranda (where you can smoke), separate secluded tables in the courtyard.
10. Rooms. It is clear that there are rooms of different categories, but in general they all have a sea view one way or another (someone has a frontal, someone has a side, but nevertheless). Modern furniture and plumbing, powerful hair dryer. Sound insulation is good, various pillows are provided on request (without feathers, orthopedic, etc.). The most expensive rooms are with frontal sea views, with access to a private pool. The most inexpensive ones are those far from the sea, located close to the neighboring building (the hotel has the shape of the letter V, the upper part of which is turned towards the sea). I liked that even the little things were thought out, for example, each room has an electronic scoreboard outside, which not only displays the request "do not disturb" or "clean", but also shows the presence of people in the room, so that the hotel staff knows when to safely enter the room, and when to knock and introduce themselves. Thus, the noise level in the corridors of the hotel is noticeably reduced, there is no familiar knocking on neighboring doors and shouts of "hello, room service!".
11. The hotel staff. Everyone is polite, everyone is responsive, everyone is smiling. Many people speak several languages, including basic Russian. Daily cleaning, filling of the mini-bar too. One day a man came and changed the filter from the air conditioner in the room (he said that it was planned), another time a worker came to fix a broken balcony door, and it was not me who reported the problems with it, but the maid. The laundry works perfectly, where things are washed, dried and ironed efficiently in just a few hours. The only case that confused me was "the mystery of the lost underpants")) There are small recreation areas on the floor, literally several armchairs and a table to rest, wait for someone, etc. So one day the lower part of a women's swimsuit was left on the table (by whom and why - history is silent). In the evening, this piece of clothing was neatly folded by the staff and placed on a chair, and then... hung there proudly for a week, until my departure. Why no one handed it over to the conditional "lost and found", did not remove, did not throw it away is a mystery))
12. The Internet. There is stable Wi-FI throughout the hotel, including the beach(!). There are no restrictions on the number of connected devices, good speed.
13. Pool. The usual one is quite long, without slides /bridges and other decorations. There is equipment so that people with leg injuries can use it.
14. SPA/gym/indoor pool/medical room. I can't say anything except that the hotel has all of the above.
Of the disadvantages: cosmetics for this level of the hotel are still very simple: soap foams, but does not wash off well, but the gel washes off, but does not foam at all. The smell is incomprehensible, although it seems that some kind of odour is used… In general, it is quite possible even to find better and brighter options from local manufacturers.
The best hotel in Side in my opinion. There is not a single moment to cling to. The food is excellent, the waiters and cooks are just super. The rooms are spacious and clean. Special thanks to the Russian-speaking manager Irina, always ready to help / prompt / advise. Very convenient location of the hotel, beautiful embankment, near the old town with beautiful locations, cafes and restaurants. I want to return to this hotel.
The hotel is a Fairy Tale!!! Magnificent in all plans!!! I was delighted with staying in it. Not one minus. All the staff is helpful and friendly. Some people do not know Russian, but everyone understood each other exactly somehow))) The food is just a gastronomic explosion!!! Three restaurants on site, I think it's cool!!! I definitely recommend it!!!
Take the best room possible and you will be happy! The main thing is not to have illusions and high expectations when buying a tour to this hotel! Do you have a feeling that the hotel is saving a lot on its dear guests, bravo! It didn't seem to you, it is! Here they save on the quality and quantity of fruits, on cosmetics in the rooms, on hotel staff, on air conditioning and drinking water! But! Of course, there is also a guest service - by asking and complaining, you can slightly improve the quality of your vacation, but not to save nerve cells!
Food for every taste and cuisine. Cute waitresses and cute waiters. Beautiful lifeguards and bartenders. The waiters always come by themselves and it doesn't matter what you need to ask you about the baking or to remove a dirty plate. The beach is not very clean, the waves bring mud and algae, but you can order drinks through the website. A restaurant for every taste. And the Swedish table changes every day. There is a swimming pool, a stage, a sauna, a hammam, a sauna, a tennis court, a dessert room with milkshakes, a couple of bars. I myself lived in a 5+ deluxe room and I had a minibar updated every day, a canditer, two sinks, a huge double bed, a scale with a tint, a Jacuzzi, etc., well, a dream come true. Drinks are completely and without restrictions, free of charge, except for some alcoholic ingredients.
We visited the hotel in September 2022. The weather was excellent in the afternoon up to +35, the sea water is the warmest!
The location of the hotel is the best in the area - the beach is sandy, completely without stones, smooth entrance.
There are only 4 rows of comfortable sun loungers, while the neighboring hotels have 7-8 or more. The service from the hotel is also available on the beach (towels, free soft drinks). Beach volleyball, etc. are provided as activities on the hotel's beach.
Along the promenade, you can walk to the ancient Side in 20-25 minutes.
The territory and the hotel itself are well-maintained, cozy, although small - this is an undoubted plus. Modern design. There is a mini bar with soft drinks in the room. There are all showers and hygiene supplies.
Very high-quality and delicious food in all the restaurants of the hotel - from the main buffet to a la carte. The variety and choice is huge! Various themed buffet dinners. Amazing confectionery products. A la carte restaurants with unlimited visits, but always by appointment.
The service is excellent, the staff is very attentive and positive! A Russian-speaking girl, Irina, works at the reception. She will help with any question, she is very friendly.
The lobby bar with a huge selection of cocktails was also noted. A musician plays the piano several times a week.
A variety of evening shows throughout the week - there is no need to look for ways to have fun outside the hotel. The hotel is more aimed at adults than for children.
We were very satisfied.
A hotel that you want to return to again!
The hotel is very small, so a well-thought-out area seems quite sufficient. If you do not take sun beds everywhere and at once, as it is written on the signs, then there are enough of them on the beach, by the pool, and in the relaxation area... With respectful treatment, the staff is friendly and courteous. The rooms have high-quality supplies, linen, bathrobes, capsule coffee. In a restaurant, you have to control yourself - if you try everything, you can burst. And I really want to try it: beef, mutton and duck are cooked masterfully). Fruits, seafood, sweets and any alcohol are available. Next time I would skip the SPA (hammam and sauna for free). I recommend a visit to those who are without children - they will not take root)...
Very nice hotel!
Great restaurants. A varied menu and drinks.
The whole area is very well maintained and beautiful. The service is good. The beach and pool are comfortable.
The hotel is fresh with a good design.
The best hotel in Side, nothing to complain about)) the service is impeccable, the food is delicious, the rooms are spacious, the interior is eye-catching, clean and shiny!
Impeccable hotel, impeccable service, well-groomed and clean territory, very cozy and comfortable rooms, stylish decoration, well-trained and helpful staff, impeccable food, the eternal desire of the chef to surprise and pamper🥰
A gorgeous beach , convenient entrance, there are large sun loungers for 2-3 people, there is equipment for people with disabilities, locals come to the beach , sometimes they are kicked out if they strain hotel guests.
I am in this hotel, I don't know who doesn't like what, in my opinion the hotel is just great. The staff is very polite, they have never asked for a card, everyone is trying to remember the vacationers in person. Just don't walk around with a distorted face, smile more and you will be answered with a smile. It is very convenient that all dishes contain information about possible allergens. A good spa with massages, but I recommend trying several masseuses to choose the most suitable massage for yourself. For the price, I paid 80 euros for 1.5 hours. The bar makes cocktails not only on the menu, I highly recommend pornstar martinis. There is an application that allows you to track all activities, view menus and log in to Ala-maps.
An excellent hotel, excellent cuisine in all restaurants, beautiful territory, there are always sun beds on the beach, it is more difficult to find a place by the pool, there are not many people on the beach, and it is clear that the neighbors have people in the sea, as in Anapa. The service is excellent. There are no queues at the buffet. For dinner, and crabs and oysters, and duck, I'm not even talking about fish and meat. Good fruits. Daily cleaning service. The hotel is not for children, there is no entertainment for children, but there are a lot of children. I recommend. The top five.
Good time to all, We were at this hotel from November 26 to December 3, impressions about the hotel and the surrounding area are very positive, My wife and I were the first on winter vacation, we chose a hotel closer to the sea, with the possibility of active movement in the surrounding area. Julia met us at the hotel, explained everything, showed us to the room, constantly asked how we rested, if everything was comfortable, the waiter Fatih Yunsal decorated the morning very much, the most friendly and tactful guy singing at work in the morning, the favorite word " enjoy ". We also enjoyed the hotel, walks to the ancient city, the sea! I was impressed by the contribution of the Barut family to the city of Side, it is very nice that there are such people!
I recommend this hotel, it's expensive, but everything is on the level, cleanliness, food, service! I especially recommend rooms with access to the pool, which is only for 10 rooms, it's just a complete relaxation!
A super hotel. I'm resting here now. Thanks to the hotel, I will be a fan of Turkey in the off-season. There is always something to occupy yourself in any weather. The location is brilliant. The old town is about 15 minutes on foot, a beautiful promenade. Impeccable staff. The ideal nutrition concept. Mayson beach restaurant a la carte is included in the all inclusive, and makes it possible not to be tied to the buffet time in the main restaurant. I'm not talking about the pastry shop at all). Brilliant! lots of mini cookies, canapes and cakes.
The hotel is decent, the beach is excellent, the food is good, I would like more seafood.The only and biggest disadvantage is the sun beds, there are not very many of them and you have to occupy neither the light nor the dawn.At 8.30 all the sun beds are occupied.
We have been to different hotels of the Barut chain, but this hotel is just a horror, starting from the staff and ending with a deserted tiny territory, the beach is terrible, crooked with a passing walking road, no privacy, the food in the hotel is disgusting, the tables are not cleaned for 15-30 minutes. The staff is one of the worst in Turkey. The indoor Pool had dirty windows. The rooms are decorated with cheap building materials, which is unsafe for allergy sufferers. It was even difficult to breathe in the room because of construction dust, apparently the room was not cleaned after the renovation. The dishes were often brought with chips, the menu was almost always dirty. On the other hand, they refused to record maps in ala, there are no places like that, although the hotel was almost empty. They offered to go to the Main where there was a modest corner of the food. The hotel was poisoned in Alaska, Photos with bottles are so much water drunk to get rid of this hotel! The security is rude every time you go for a walk or the beach, they ask you to show a card. Once the guard ran, thinking that we were aliens from another hotel. The hotel is a disgrace to this chain!!!
The best hotel on the coast!!It is beautiful in all seasons.Everything is fine, no complaints!!The food is at a very high level, there is enough entertainment, live music is great both in winter and summer.Beautiful,stylish,modern
I was with my husband for almost two weeks at the end of May. We were unlucky with the weather, but it didn't spoil the rest. Comfort, food, location - everything is on the level! We plan to come next year too!
We visited the hotel in the middle of April.
The hotel is fresh (completely renovated in 2016) very stylish and pleasant. We went with the main purpose: to walk and enjoy the beautiful views, side: to swim and sunbathe.
We chose a swim-up room, decided to pay extra for the pool, it turned out to be in vain, as we swam in it at most three times, the sun was in our room after lunch, the top rooms with the sun 2011-2014, but they are in plain sight. The room itself is nice, the mini-bar is free, there is a choice of pillows, the cleaning is excellent.
The area is average, beautiful lawn, greenery, a large pool in the center seemed to be the warmest of all. We didn't swim in the sea, it's cold, I won't say that the beach is wow, I don't think we've cleaned it up yet, there are soft sun beds, umbrellas.
Buffet meals and ala carte restaurants. One round the clock, one in the afternoon with sushi, the rest in the evenings with reservations via the app or girls at the reception. The pastry shop with cakes and delicious ice cream is open all day.
(During the week, we got bored with breakfasts, everything was always the same, there was only one rice porridge, better lunches, but only pasta was always cooked separately, at dinner the most expanse, as a rule 3-4 racks with a cooking chef, dessert, appetizer and main dishes, depending on the topic and dinner. The restaurants in general all seemed decent, not very fast service when loading, but it's a restaurant)
There are two main bars. By the pool and on the lobby floor. The choice of alcoholic beverages is good, but the lack of decent used drinks upset, smoothies were terrible, cocktails in used bars were very small and that's it, well, infernal sourness, one refresh was sometimes 50/50 because of honey.
Overall, the food is 9/10
minus a point for gradually boring breakfasts and used drinks.
The hotel had Russian-speaking managers and some of the waiters.
There are car rentals, a spa, small and large tennis, fitness and an indoor pool.
The hotel, like everyone else on the line, has a beautiful promenade with lighting, along which you can walk to the ruins of the old town in side.
