Side Resort Annex

I enjoyed my all inclusive stay, the staff were pleasant & kind, rooms were very clean, the buffet food was basically good for the price, great salads & I stuck with the freshly cooked chicken & fish. I my view avoid the burgers as they are truly awful. Drinks were budget, Swimming pool was fab. I paid the Reception chap as requested in cash for Wifi & was then asked for a duplicate payment for this as I checked out, I declined to pay this twice & I think that he 'Trousered the money as a bit of a 'Hustle'. I believe that the 'Side Resort Annex' will close at the end of Oct 24 for refurbishment & then be absorbed into the current 'Side Resort Hotel' next door which will probably be renamed. Good location, it's an easy 20 min walk into Side town & Marina. I felt safe at all times.

Friendly staff it was a pity there was not many choices at the buffet turkey was overcooked needed a hacksaw to cut through it had to ask reception for a wrist band after 3 days any one could walk in and help themselves to free food and drink Room was OK but no view you had to pay for WiFi not free like most hotels lacks entertainment but met some good people maybe needs to review its standard of all inclusive

Lovely clean hotel, some nice staff, food well it's all inclusive so it is what it is, expensive for wi fi and tried saying I'd bought twice as much as I did, good kebab nights, bar shutto early 10pm and bar staff dissappear all the time (1 star). The attached shop is a rip off lollipop attached to a toy Croc was £5 , flying horse pub is by far the best and cheapest, would definitely go to Side again but not all inclusive and not to the annex.

Brilliant hotel for the price we paid… Location is perfect 10 minute walk through the ruins to the beautiful old town. Party of 3 women walked most evenings - very safe all lit up beautifully. Lots of shops, cocktail bars over looking harbour - nicest resort we’ve been to on our travels so far. Hotel - rooms very clean, have everything you need, aircon, fridge, hairdryer, powerful shower and very comfy beds. Not modern but sufficient. Food - fresh omlette station was massive bonus for breakfast. Pancakes, toast, fresh fries eggs. Lunch was not greatest apart from lovely salads, but at 3pm they do freshly cooked burgers which were great. Evening meals we found fine too. Generally some meat cooked on grilling station and again fresh salads. Only ate out 1 night out of 4. Pool very clean and plenty of sunbeds All inclusive drinks - good selection of cocktails and spirits, wine and beer were drinkable. If your coming for evening entertainment you might be disappointed as wasn’t on for long and bar shuts at 10pm. But we went out on evenings after dinner so didn’t bother us Had great break with friends and all said would return

The hotel is certainly graded correctly at 3 star. Rooms:- Immaculately clean and very comfortable beds. The shower is amazing. We started in a basement room that was horrid with no view or much light. In the morning spoke to reception who moved us to 3rd floor overlooking the pool…perfect. Location:- You can walk to the beach but it’s way too hot even at only 25 mins. Beach shuttle is great runs about every 30 mins takes 5 mins. The old town is lovely and only 10 minutes walk make sure to turn right at Antique Restaurant for a shortcut. Drinks:- Poor! Every cocktail seemed to be blue and weak as. Efes beer on tap bar area shabby. Entertainment:- Only 30-40 mins on 3 out of 7 nights. Poolside:- Loads of sunbeads but despite that there are the usual saddos reserving them at 7 am. Music from bar too loud! Food:- Awful really. Breakfast is good salads very good but the hot food consists of turkey turkey and more turkey. Burgers in the afternoon 14-16:00 are good. Turkish night BBQ was excellent the hotel should do more of these. We didn’t starve as we ate out a few times but went to lunch and dinner with dread as to what we would find. Overall wouldn’t go back despite good staff. The annex has been bought by Side Resort next door and is apparently undergoing renovation over the winter I hope it comes up to the higher standards of that hotel. I got the feeling they were winding the place down.

This is my second time visiting this hotel, I was here with my little one September 2023 and had a great time. This year, it’s under new management + all new staff. I would say the food isn’t as good as it was last year when it was under the old management but still somewhat ok, managed to have a decent meal at breakfast/lunch/dinner and find things for my 2 year old to eat. Make sure you get to breakfast early because they took forever to replenish some of the foods. Love the free shuttle to and from the beach (ask reception for the timetable) because taxi’s were charging 10€ for a 5 min drive one way to the beach when I missed the morning shuttle.. absolutely not. In my review last year, I mentioned that the hotel was underrated for a 3 star hotel but this year it’s definitely just giving 3 star hotel.. nothing more, you get what you pay for lol. My room was quite small this time but that’s fine as it was just me and my toddler again plus it was very clean and bed was comfy like the last time that I was here. The electric went out overnight but was fixed after breakfast. There are a few restaurants nearby and the town is quiet and walkable. Other hotels are definitely more lively if you’re looking for entertainment. Overall an another relaxing stay, not sure I’d come back again though which is a shame because I wanted to make this an annual get away around the same time. The beach is nice but I’ve noticed that it’s also under new management. It’s slowly becoming a German/Russian town lol.

The hotel was very clean and had what you needed - I found bed extremely comfy and slept really well (hubby didn’t but can’t please everyone) staff friendly. Didn’t see any entertainment during our 4 nights. Other resorts near by appeared more lively. Food - despite being all inclusive we only had breakfast twice and lunch, I’m not a fussy eater however seeing ants in desserts and flies around salad bar/cold meats did put me off! Some of the food may have been nice but appearance is a lot and couldn’t bring ourselves to try chicken that looked like meatloaf or one night was bbq Turkey or turkey casserole so we chose to eat out. Meals/drinks in nearby restaurants very reasonably priced. Not sure why ice cream only available for 1 hour didn’t always fancy one at that time. Drinks - were ok fraught beer and local spirits same as any other all inclusive. Juice was very weak barely coloured. Beach shuttle- reliable quick service and beach area clean. Since reading other reviews (refuse before I visit) we obviously didn’t walk far enough and we found it to be very quiet (our fault) but wouldn’t return much preferred previous areas of Turkey we’ve visited.

1st time in turkey 1st time in the annex hotel. Beautiful place lovely staff . Definitely going back. Atmosphere was perfect. Would recommend hotel very clean. Polite and helpful staff. Simply amazing time and experience. Thank you guys x
