Side Town Hotel by Z Hotels

We arrived at this hotel with hope of a good time to be very let down. we were shown to a room very run down with damp in the cupboard, safe unattached to anything sitting loose on top of drawers. view on the balcony was of a stained wall. as acording to reception this was an upgraded room shower was over bath that you had to step three feet to access. we had to report the breakdown of toilet at 4.A.M 9 am then 1pm before any action was taken the bidet would not turn off all this time. this in a country that has a water shortage was waste of water 9hrs running. then there was the staple food of spaghetti with a tomato sauce all vegs overcooked and mushy.pool small for size of hotel very few sun beds though staff seemed vert friendly they were the only nice part of this crap hotel , carpets in the corridor stained very small pol bar and lobby bar for an all inclusive only three local spirits on offer. inter net to be paid on each device that you use and its a very slo HA HA HA w allow they say it is fast speed. HA HA HA very bitty drops out a lot.

We visit Side regularly but decided to book another last minute trip for myself and my daughter in August. I wasn't sure what to expect as the price was really good but I must say it was a very nice hotel indeed. It is built on a hill, so the front of the hotel/reception area is on a higher level than the pool and restaurant area. The room was great...no complaints whatsoever from us and the maid came every day...she was lovely. We paid for a pool/side sea view and I am very pleased we did as the view was superb. The restaurant and bar staff were all so friendly and available if you needed anything. Unfortunately I did not get their names but a special shout out to the man who works in the restaurant (early 30s) who brought us coffee, drinks and was genuinely nice. Also the main barman with the glasses, he was really nice and you can tell he really enjoys his job! Also the young waiter who usually works around by the tables and not behind the bar ... Lovely young man. The pool area is clean and every day except Sunday there is water aerobics, water polo and darts. Evening entertainment is not every night, but there is a nice balance between louder evenings and quiet evenings. The hotel disco generally opens around 11.30pm a couple of nights each week ..this was great too! Location is good ...shops out the front and beach out the back. For a smaller hotel, this was great. We will definitely return. The only thing I would say is maybe a few more sunbeds by the pool...there is room for another row I'm sure! Thanks to all the staff for a lovely holiday!
