Sertkaya Hotel - Side, Turkey 

I met my family there in August they left London before me. The transfer from the airport to the hotel cost me ?50 (taxi) when I arrived my 1st impression was middle of no where 3 star hotel... it was in fact NOT BAD... The food was good, the desserts counted to over 20n different kinds... the pool was clean, the beach was around 20 mins walk... the staff was friendly.... above all the air condition was included... this is not like turkey at all... often you have to pay extra. I would go back... the hotel has 2 sections, they have entertainement including magics... and belly dancing... not bad ... would recommend.

I've nearly only read negative reviews about this hotel so i'll try to be a bit fairer................ the hotel is probably a 1 star although listed as a 3. It is i'd say 2 km from the beach not 900m as advertised and 2km to Side old town, We hired scooters for about £10 a day and that sorted that out..............to hot to walk...............about 45c. Paid for half board but upgraded to all in as it was only 8 euros a day..................well worth it as turkey is not that cheap, did this for the drink not the food. The meals are a bit samey buffets and salad and you have to sit down early or end up waiting a while. Limited choice of drink unless you are happy with just coffee, sqash beer and raki. Staff friendly clients mainly German and Turkish. Rooms very basic but with free aircon. The pool area is well kept and the best part of the hotel
