We had a great holiday. I travelled with my two daughters during the Easter holidays. The hotel is in Side, next to shops, beauty and tattoo businesses. The location is very, good, a great drive from the airport and next to the beach. Obviously the weather was very pleasant in April and much needed after the constant poor weather of England. Location for trips and sight-seeing is perfect, although we stayed by the pool this time. If you want wild nightlife, this is catered for by the animation team, with nearby tours to nightclubs and event halls. This is not really to a 5 * standard, nearer a 4*, but it is also very nice and there are no reasons to complain. We travelled out of season, and the amphitheatre was closed, but the animation team worked hard and all staff were pleasant and hard-working. A massive shout out to the ladies making freshTurkish pitta, this was AMAZING! Rooms were immaculate, with excellent cleaning, and there was plenty of water in our room every day. The pool area was fantastic, the children loved the slides and even in April the pool was a good temperature. I recommend the Spa, I went three times and at the end of the week, my locked shoulder was recovered. Deanne was fantastic! The food here was typically All inclusive, but the range of choice was great! We loved the food, and Turkish night was a lovely spectacle. Drinks are ok, cocktails weren't to my liking, but again, there is something for everyone. Beer is great! It was my first time to Side and I will definitely be going back. Be aware, we were the only British speaking people, and the staff spoke German. German tourists were so friendly and welcoming and we tried our best to communicate regardless of the language barrier. Sometimes this was hilarious and I entered up with a pint of rum! We had an issue with the shower (the screen broke) and my daughter received small cuts from the glass shattering. However, the hotel quickly repaired the glass and TUI sent a representative to look after us. To all at Calimera Hane Garden, thank you for a great introduction to the area and for beginning my love affair with Turkey! Highly recommended.

“Okay”

We stayed here as a family for a week in February. The location of the hotel is perfect very close to supermarkets, bazaars, shopping centres and the beach.

We stayed here as a family for a week in February. The location of the hotel is perfect very close to supermarkets, bazaars, shopping centres and the beach. We stayed in the bedroom for 5 people and to be fair it was quite small for 5. Our air conditioning also wasn’t working. Rooms were cleaned daily and new towels were given daily. The cleaning ladies were super ! All the waiters and barmen/women were so lovely, always cracking a joke and making sure everything is okay for you. However I didn’t like Mr. Muzzaffer’s attitude: we asked him if we can book the a la carte restaurant as part of our 1 week stay and he said there is no room and we went down anyways to see and the restaurant was 95% empty :/ not a good luck for the hotel as the restaurant is part of what we paid for. Breakfast, lunch and dinner and lovely always a bit of variation. The pizza in the pool bar was amazing - best pizza ever. We also made us of the spa during our stay the indoor pool and sauna was great. We tried Hamam with the massage and it was a very good experience for a very good price however after the massage we were constantly being asked and asked if we want more for more money which was quite annoying. The animation team could be a bit better. I understand that the hotel has mostly German visitors but dance nights etc. Should be inclusive for everyone. But after we said that more inclusive music is needed they provided it and it was an amazing night for all - nearly everyone was up and dancing. Overall we had a great stay :)

- pillows uncomfortable, impolite staff, room service is very slow (have to ring at least twice to the reception), food is not upto 5* hotel standards, no iron (only paid services for clothing), the hotel overall requires a "refresh" as curtains in rooms are constantly falling, air conditioner breaks, once hot water stopped running for about an hour + swimming pools are good, there's a children's playground area in the tree shades,not in the sun, shuttle to the beach
