Amazing!
An amazing experience at Side hotel with friendly and helpful staff, specially Emre, Younis and Mansoor were amazing. The chef was extra hospitable and was making every effort to give us the best. The only thing was our fridge wasn’t working and upon request they said the fridges aren’t of good quality to keep things cool. The rest of experience was amazing.
