Side Mare Resort and Spa

... Maybe the food is repetitive, maybe there is only entertainment every other night but overall this holiday was the best holiday me and my girlfriend have ever been on. I would recommend this hotel to anyone, the one thing i dont recommend is flying with thomas cook... So please dont be put off by the bad reviews all the snobs have wrote because the holiday is what you make it and the hotel helped us make this holiday fantastic!

Grau und kalt ist es am nächsten Morgen. Missmutig und fröstelnd sitzt die spärliche Kundschaft beim Frühstück. Ohne Sonne nichts los? Wir beginnen die Erkundung mit dem Museum von Alanya, das einige interessante aber eher simple Statuen und Sarkophagreste aber auch einen sehr schönen bronzenen Herkules zeigt. Ein Klasse mit fröhlichen Schulkindern strahlt uns an, aus dunklen Augen, und will ...

What a wonderful little peninsula on the Mediterranean. This town has it all. Lots of restaurants, bars, and shops, but also beaches and lots of ruins. Our room at the Hotel Lale Park was a little small, but we had a great time here.

... worked in the business and is engaged in helping to raise scholarship funds for poor children to attend school. The love the family showed was so apparently real. The experience in the home was so moving. İ did not want to leave but wanted to get to know these people better, especially the wife who had one of the most engaging smiles I have ever seen. Through Kamil İ told the family that I did not want to leave, and how impressed I ...

Well first time at Club Med.. great location; fab room, very luxurious... the whole happy campers atmosphere though.... not really me... but i recommend the med coast of turkey... 300 days of sun per year... and you can windsurf; sail; go horse riding in the mountains; waterski; parasail,etc...

... Roman ruins and an equally large amount of touristy shops and restaurants. I didn't care much for the commercialism (although the bellydance outfits were a little bit better quality) but the ruins were awesome, and the only part I saw that charged admission (the Roman Theater) was 5 Turkish Lira. That's less than 4 dollars/3 Euros/2 Pounds. Compare that with 11 Euros a head to get into the ruins in Rome!

... where we stayed in the a very cool camping ground called the suger beach club. Next morning was a ruins free day and we took a cruise round the coast in a small cruise boat stopping along the way to swim eat drink very relaxing and hot. Next day we had a short drive to saklikent which had an amazing gorge. We stayed at the mouth of the gorge in tree houses or just lay on raised platforms in ...

... Turkish hotel owners when they say therell be hot water in the morning) : Never Trust A Tout (Turkish or Otherwise - Theyd sell their own mother to get u on the boat!). I wonder if there will be any more Turkish Travel Laws..... Oh I tell a lie - I did accomplish one thing of substance today - I managed to extend my car insurance - its been exactly a month in Turkey now so TIPO needed another fix. Theres an office in Antalya, as the biggest city on ...

... China as sick as a dog, and some of the weeks in Western Europe were slow and almost annoying. Do I feel like I am half way? Truthfully, I have no bloody idea yet. Given the Lycian Ruins are out there somewhere, Ayse and I decided to explore the area. It is like a scene out of an Indiana Jones film. Jungle vines and trees cover old collapsed buildings from the times BC. Some are recognisable as old Turkish style baths and temples, while others are just piles of rocks. There is one ...
