We had a rest with a child from August 11 to 22, 2024. It's not all that scary. A few rooms after renovation, we had no fresh repairs, but quite normal. Bathroom, conder, you. Two days later they brought a mini-bar. They washed and changed the linen. The food is normal. No frills. Drinks are cola, fanta, sprite always. A bar on the beach. Problems with the elevator, lack of staff, old carpet that spoils the view in the lobby... There are not enough plates, because of this there are queues in the dining room. Of course, the guests still take them to the room and do not bring them back. A gorgeous beach, 7 minutes on foot without hurrying... In general, you can live. But not for long and not expensive
Review of the stay at the Side Orange Paradise Hotel (02.09 - 08.09)
Unfortunately, our stay at this hotel turned into a real nightmare. Let's start from the beginning — check-in. We arrived at night, and the young man at the reception, instead of helping, just sent us to the 5th floor with suitcases. The elevator wasn't working, and it didn't seem like it was going to work during our entire stay. We were not even offered a bottle of water, and the background information about breakfasts and lunches was completely missing (I found the information on old reviews).
When we finally got to the room, horror awaited us. An old, dirty room with a bathroom that looked like something out of a horror movie — mold everywhere! We asked for room improvement, but were refused. There are air conditioners only in the rooms, and none in the rest of the hotel. Wi-Fi is paid and is not cheap at all.
The impression was that the hotel had not been cleaned for several years. The carpet was covered with old dried stains, in places it was not there at all, and glasses and garbage were scattered everywhere.
As for nutrition, this is a separate story. If you have children, I strongly do not recommend this hotel. The main course is potatoes in three versions and some chicken giblets. There were almost no vegetables, and only watermelon from fruits. The tea station was so dirty that I didn't even dare pour myself a cup of tea. The alcohol was just terrible.
The pool was also not happy: muddy and dirty water, glasses and bottles were lying around. The beach, which the staff had to take care of, resembled a garbage dump — garbage is everywhere. The hotel is located on the second coastline, and the beach can only be reached via the road without a pedestrian crossing. The shuttle stopped running at 15:30.
And the worst thing is that half of the vacationers were poisoned by water from the pool. People were throwing up right on the beach and in the hotel lobby, an ambulance came and took people to the hospital!
As a result, we wanted to save money, but we got the worst vacation of our lives. I strongly do not recommend choosing this hotel!
Side orange paradise hotel.
We arrived at this hotel in late August and early September 2024.
I'll start with the most important food, it's enough, but it's impossible to eat meat (only chicken), fish, stewed vegetables, fried and everything hot is made so that it's impossible to eat....There are queues of 40 minutes before lunch, dinner, plates, spoons, places, not enough, only watermelon and melon from fruits, it is possible to eat only breakfast food.. The main% of tourists staying at the hotel are Turkish families, there are very few Russians. There was also a case when the vacationing Turks of the same hotel, seeing Russians in you, passing by, shouted in a dissatisfied, indignant tone: Rush? Rasha, raaasha!???? In short, we are not happy to see you if you are from Rush.
Also, if the attitude was excellent before, now they look askance...
About the pool: if you are not with children in any case, do not approach it, there is no disinfection, rotovirus begins in children right without leaving the pool, in the truest sense of the word: they vomit right next to the pool ...
The room was good. Comfort. The rooms are not cleaned, the towel is not changed, you come up with a trolley, you change the towel, the cleaning does not reach the room. The elevators don't work, and if it suddenly works, you will definitely get stuck. We walked /descended to the 5th floor on foot.
The beach is dirty, the Turks eat there, they throw plates, burgers, cups there.. The beach is sandy, the water is clean,
I can give the staff 5 only to the reception. The girl is young and her partner is a man, responsive, friendly.
Internet is paid for 1 day 3 euros.
In shops, in markets, there is no difference between euros or Dollars for them. There is no recalculation, 5 € = 5$.
It's up to you to decide whether to go or not) everyone has a wonderful, unforgettable vacation (in the good sense of the word))) 😎👍🏻
Hello. I was at this hotel with children from August 27 to September 3.
I will call the rest in one word "Stay alive". We entered the hotel at 21:00. There is sewage from the garbage dump in front of the hotel and this smell is all over the hotel. The sanitation is complete. We were taught and I walked with forks in my bag. I also ate cheese, eggs, bought food for the children at the supermarket, well, how to eat ... chips, salted sticks, ice cream. Of course, I read reviews that the hotel has outlived its usefulness, but not by so much.
The hotel was mainly occupied by poor Turks and Russians who fell for the low price.
If holidays in Turkey have always been associated with the delicious smell of detergents, now there is a persistent musty smell and the smell of sewage.
On day 2, all the children were sick with rotavirus , then the adults .
I couldn't even imagine that Turkey could be like this.
One of the most terrifying places in Turkey! Disgusting service! There were no spoons and forks all the time, then plates, then food was running out! The staff did not respond to requests! There were no wooden ladders on the beach, I had to jump on the hot sand to get to the bar!the bar itself, however, like the whole hotel, has a very shabby look! I leave two stars for the gorgeous sea!
We rested in this hotel, for its price the hotel is good, all inclusive for 7700 a day for three two adults and a child, it would not have been more expensive to go, arrived at 15:00, settled immediately in 2 minutes on the 3rd floor, the elevator was never waited for, walked, the room has a balcony, the rooms are not new but for this price, excellent, there is a shuttle service to the beach from morning to evening to go 2 minutes, walk for 8 minutes, the coolest thing is the sea is warm, there are waves, there are not enough sun beds on the beach sometimes, there is a bar water beer juice and burgers, for breakfast they gave if you want a good sea, good weather, then go there hungry You won't stay
We rested at the hotel at the end of May 2024. We liked the hotel, the staff is very friendly, they respond quickly to all requests. The room is cleaned every day, towels were changed regularly, the food in the restaurant is delicious, varied, fruits, many different desserts, various alcohol, beer, cocktails, juices. The staff is very attentive. Its beach is excellent, there is a bar on the beach, all drinks are always available. I would like to mention the masseuse girls! The massage is just great! I have never received such a high-quality massage anywhere! I recommend this hotel for a vacation!
We didn't have the same number as in the picture. In my opinion, there are no such rooms at all in this hotel. It doesn't look like a four at all. More like a two. A restaurant is not a restaurant, but a kitchen. There are not enough devices.. food too...Of course, they were hungry... but. And the administration is not doing anything for this. The plates are dirty! How did we get there??? I didn't read the reviews carefully, apparently. There are only Arabs in the hotel....apparently the hotel is for them....We will never come here!!!
I rested for 7 days in August. I don't want to write recommendations whether to go or not, I will write the pros and cons that I saw during my stay at this hotel, and then decide for yourself.
By the time I got to the room, I realized where I was. Dirt, leftovers on the tables, unwashed floors. So on all floors (I was moved into the third building on the 6th floor). Unsanitary conditions.
On the day of arrival, I was given a room in which the air conditioner did not work, there was not a single hanger, there was one towel (there was no front one) and the shower was in the toilet (a small partition that did not block the toilet bowl from water, towels, etc.). On the same day, they refused to change my room, referring to the fact that there are no available rooms. Opening the window in the room was prevented by the wall from the bed, which I could not move (it is not attached to the bed, it just stands), as it is very heavy. Thanks to the neighbors who helped me move the bed away from the window to open it and not die in this room at +40 degrees. As for the hotel administration, they didn't care at all, they didn't try to solve the problem and there were no attempts to fix the air conditioner either.
After the hassle with the room and the administration, the next day my room was replaced (But I had to yell for a long time, loudly and every hour), and it was livable, I would say the best that was in this hotel. A large room with a balcony, air conditioning and a normal shower. By the way, the elevators did not work all the time, so you will have to walk.
Now about the sea and the beach. This is the best sea in my life (this is not the merit of the hotel). Sandy beach, clear water. The coast is divided into private beaches of different hotels. Of course, if we compare with other hotels, our beach was the worst, there were the least sun beds, there was no wooden path to the sun beds (all other hotels had a path along which people walked to the sun beds and the bar, and did not burn their feet on the fiery sand), but there are 5-star hotels.
After reading reviews about food and listening to people on the beach, I was preparing for the worst and went to the dining room with fear (there are few restaurants in the vicinity, everything is expensive). Yes, the food is so-so. Constant nuggets; the same cheeses; from fruits: watermelon (often tasteless), dirty or spoiled apples, grapefruits or oranges..., I will not list all the products and dishes that were in 7 days, but I can say that I never went hungry and was not poisoned (cases of poisoning there were 3 people in my environment, mostly poisoning was after pickles- I never ate any of this, as well as salads with mayonnaise). Very tasty desserts. But the dishes are just game, they probably don't wash them, because there were dried leftovers on the plates, as well as on the forks. I will not talk about the fact that there are a lot of people and they do not have time to wash the dishes - I do not care at all, there is no excuse here. Taking out obviously dirty dishes like pigs is too much.
About Wi-Fi, I can say that there is no free Internet there, neither at the reception - "neither behind it, nor under it." Although, it was promised. It was only paid, but it worked great, even on the beach.
As for the territory of the hotel, there is a swimming pool and, in principle, this is the whole territory, but for me it was not important, I swam on the sea, and sitting among dirty tiles and dirty, wet chairs is not for me.
I can say that this hotel is not 4 stars, I would put 2 stars, but this, as far as I know, does not happen. Would I go back to this hotel? If they fix the cleaning and cleanliness of the dishes, it is possible. For the sake of the sea. Since this hotel was the least expensive in the area. All the others were 5 stars (gorgeous castles, with pools and animation).
If you are going to go to this hotel or have already bought a tour, then I recommend taking with you: plastic dishes (save time waiting for dishes and you will eat clean), from poisoning, etc.; beach towel (the hotel does not issue); flip-flops like crocs (the sand heats up and it's hard to walk in open shoes); the money is in rubles (you will change it later to lira) or dollars and euros, but in small bills. It is not always possible to withdraw money from ATMs, so it is really possible to remain without cash.
In conclusion, I can say that despite the unsanitary conditions, my vacation was not spoiled. I wanted a budget vacation - I got it.
I would like to start with the advantages, but, unfortunately, there are no such facilities in this hotel.The sea was great, that's all.
We had a rest with friends from 17.08 to 24.08.
We arrived at the hotel around 14:30 and immediately asked if we could have lunch after we brought our suitcases to the room, to which we received an answer at the reception "of course".Later, after going downstairs and asking the same thing from another receptionist, the answer was already "sorry, no."Welcome!
If I knew right away what kind of lunch was waiting for us, it would be better to go hungry all week)))
The food at the hotel: a terrifying combination of stale salads, watermelons, smelly fish and a complete lack of meat and EVEN CHICKEN!In the first 2-3 days there was at least some chicken and pieces of soy meat, nuggets, French fries (only for breakfast), but then we were surprised in the form of a battle every day for forks, empty tables and kilometer-long queues for the usual mashed potatoes.
There was alcohol in the bar, of course, but the cola was constantly running out, the gin stank of sewage, they tried it and didn't do it anymore.
The snack bar on the beach is also a great gift. There was absolutely nothing there for 3-4 days, later burgers appeared, thank God.
As for the rooms, it's even more interesting here.We were probably lucky to live in a more or less normal room, but of course not without problems.The air conditioner was working, but it was not noticeable, the room was just hot.Cleaning came every day, BUT the towels were changed 5 days after contacting the reception (we put them on the floor on purpose, literally before entering the room, so that they would be taken away, but, of course not).
My friends still had ants in the room))
Wi-Fi is paid and was constantly disconnected, we went to the reception 6 times in the last 2 days.
The whole hotel is terribly dirty, the elevator didn't really work, there are huge queues everywhere.
Even the plastic cups were just washed there!!!!!!
There were catastrophically not enough hotel beds, all hotels had enough, and ours was like a cauldron with cockroaches.
As a bonus, someone took a shit in the pool and it was closed for a day, apparently they couldn't cope with the shit.
That was such a wonderful vacation in this place.And I wish his master to have more rest in his own hotel)
Never come here if you don't want to ruin your vacation.
In general, the hotel is not as bad as it is written about. Yes, he's not new, he's already very tired. But if you close your eyes to the little things and don't find fault, then it's fine.
I take off the star for the food. My stomach has not experienced such stress for a long time.
Meat: this is a complete trash, because only chicken is served. It is impossible to eat chicken for 10 days only, the restaurant constantly stinks of food mixed with a rotten rag.
Vegetables: they also pass by completely, there is a lot of choice, but they are all tasteless.
Fruits: the same story as with vegetables.
Soups: we tried it once, it was impossible to eat
Desserts: good, it was delicious
Drinks: also good, I can't say anything bad.
Of the advantages:
Good staff, very polite.
The rooms are also not bad, tired, but clean
Cleaning was carried out every day, towels were changed, bed linen too.
The beach is very nice, beautiful sand, there is a bar and snacks.
We were from 15.10.23 to 24.10.23. We went at our own risk on a hot ticket. The Internet is paid, there is a lot of food, coffee machines are working. Everything worked fine in our room, the only thing was the stains on the walls, but everything was clean. They cleaned every day . It's not far to the sea, there are a lot of sunbeds, the entrance to the sea is excellent, the water is lovely. The kitchen on the beach is open from lunch and Wi-Fi is also available. The hotel has a hammam, outdoor large swimming pool, indoor swimming pool, steam room, two bars. The vacationers were mostly Russian-speaking. I liked the rest, I would come again. No one paid for the review!
The hotel is definitely not a four! It's very dirty, unsanitary.A very budget hotel, the main thing is that the room is normal. They try at the reception, they change the rooms, they pass on your wishes and problems from the reception, but the guys who work at the hotel can simply ignore the people from the reception.It's a problem with towels, okay, there are no beach towels, but they are not in the rooms either.There are not enough maintenance staff.
Frankly, the hotel is 3 points, it has certainly outlived itself, the food is also not to say that it is diverse, mainly fish, chicken and semi-finished products, the pool is excellent, the beach is also excellent, but there are few sun beds, it happened that they were not enough, well, in general, as a budget option it is quite
The hotel is called SIDE ORANGE PARADISE. This is already the 4th title. On Yandex maps, two hotels were indicated at once at this location, which were previously. One was removed, the previous one was left. Apparently, it is more convenient to sell the hotel this way.
We were in this hotel from 19.10-01.11.23. 13 full nights. A tour of 2 adults + 1 child cost 130 thousand without transfer. The transfer was ordered immediately on the website for an additional fee.the fee is + 9000t in both directions (minibus, meeting with a sign, only we are going). We asked for a taxi to the airport for 60 euros.
I must say right away: we hesitated for a long time, because the other 4 were more expensive by 50 thousand and the price of the tour started from 180, 200 and above. We weighed the pros and cons, laid 50 thousand for evening dinners outside the hotel and met the budget. If your tour will cost the same as ours, then you can choose. But getting used to the food will be difficult.
Hotel: we were given a 2-bed room without any extra charges on the 6th floor. Only one of the three elevators worked. One building is somehow separated from the main one and the elevator has never worked there. How they got there with suitcases is not very clear. The door in the room according to the card, the lock worked, the water was hot. The bed linen was changed, probably. The maid came every day to clean and cleaned: the floors were washed, the bathroom too. Yes, the rooms were different before, the design has not been like in the photo for a long time, but we understood this. One of the beds was broken (the base was under the mattress) and if we needed it, it's not very clear how to sleep. Outside the window, the hood from the restaurant was humming with a view of her… But with the window closed, you get used to the monotonous sound. Internet is $3 or euro per day. As paid, so for 24 hours. Worked properly. They took it in a day. It turned out to be more profitable than taking a tourist SIM.
There is nothing in the hotel to entertain you in any way. More precisely, it was once ... And you just have to accept it)
The beach towel didn't look like a towel. More like an Arafat, only long. Lay on a chaise longue.
Nutrition: some reviews that the food is good surprised.
Breakfast: sometimes there were eggs. Porridge, rice type, tasteless and cold…Yes, yes, at whatever time you come: at least at the beginning of breakfast, at least at the end. The heating of the dishes was at a minimum. And the dishes are: peppers, beans, peppers and beans again. Do you think there was oil? No, margarine) What has always been there: fresh bread, hot water, tea leaves and drinks from coffee machines. The chef (we thought so) went out in rubber boots (without a chef's hat) and changed/did something and a couple of girls who cleaned the tables. Desserts were the first 5 days and they were also disassembled. Sometimes they gave chicken wings a couple of times. Soup is one and it is difficult to call it soup: peppered and one broth. But we still need to find a deep plate for him. They were quickly running out)
I had to go to the supermarket and buy sweets for tea.
The beach line, like other hotels, is cool. But this is not the merit of the hotel, but the general equipped line, divided into sections by hotels. Convenient access to the sea, a gentle entrance, you can go left and right for a walk and go with a mask. There are fish there, because there are stones.
ATMs are everywhere, you can withdraw as much as you want, Union Pay cards are accepted everywhere. We went to Side by minibus. They drive every 2-3 minutes, but you need to remember the name of your neighborhood, where you live. The driver puts so many people until there are no standing places anymore)
On 29.11 it was the 100th anniversary of Turkey declaring a republic. Everywhere there is a holiday, flags, a program. But in this hotel, only the flag was hung. They didn't even buy a cake for dinner. And why?!)))
Minus: dirt is everywhere!!! Corridors that have not been washed for years, showers that have not been cleaned, dishes that have not been washed, etc....
Pros: the sea is good... and the beach, again... dirty.
But this is the cheapest hotel in the region. Therefore, price-quality is not about this option.
In general, it's not bad. The food is good. The staff is good. The area in front of the hotel needs to be improved. There is almost no territory . I love space.
Ruined vacation. It doesn't even pull a deuce. I'll start with the food. It is terrible, especially in the last days of October. They explain the closure of the season, while the guests are accepted, they said on the beach: "There will be nothing from November 1st. There has been nothing, not even plain water since October 29. The hotel served rotten minced meat and generally fed in the dark. Especially in the morning. There is a Gulya woman from Kazakhstan at the reception, she makes money literally out of thin air, for example, the Internet is paid. For 9 days, $ 14, asked for 3 days, it's $ 9. There are at most 2 palm trees on the territory. No flowers, no reeds. Animation, there are no discos either
