Side Aquarium Resort and Spa is a pleasant place where we enjoyed one week in the Turkish sun. To sum the hotel up briefly, I’d call it cheap and cheerful. The main pool area is the hub of the hotel and features one large pool, a smaller kids pool and playing area. There is also a bar, restaurant and entertainment area. We visited in June and noticed after 10am, it was a challenge to get a sun bed by the pool, however I noticed staff getting more sun beds out and placing these around the hotel. The staff at this hotel were all very kind and friendly and lost spoke good English. We stayed at this hotel for 1 week and visited the main restaurant for breakfast, lunch and dinner. The food is okay. There is a wide selection to choose from and the quality is decent. I found that I often ate the same meals each day, for example I had a cheese omelette for breakfast which was cooked specifically by a chef. For dinner, I often has pasta and chips. We also visited the al a carte restaurant which was a nice change of scenery. This restaurant is quite small and must be booked in order to visit. My main criticism of this hotel is that it is not a relaxing place to stay, especially by the pool and on an evening. I found the entertainment team too loud and uncomfortable to be around. For example, they constantly ask you to take part in activities such as water polo and water gym when you’re relaxing on a sun bed with a book. Also, the music was far too loud! Especially at 10am. The head of entertainment blasted the music throughout the day which was really uncomfortable for my group and I who just wanted to relax. Also, because the pool and hotel are quite small, the evening entertainment noise travels across the hotel, meaning that it can be heard everywhere (and I mean everywhere) until it stops at 11pm. I found this really unfair, especially for small children and families who wanted to rest and have an early night. We ended up buying ear plugs and using these every night since our room backed onto the stage. I wouldn’t recommend staying here if you want to rest and relax, but if you’re up for partying until dawn, then this is the place for you. In all, I’m not sure what the hotel is trying to be? The rooms are decent, the staff are great and the hotel and pool are lovely. But the loud music and entertainment really makes the place seem like a rave haven. Also, the entertainment team arranged a rave and foam party for 3pm on a Wednesday? I was really confused by this and as it was so loud, ended up going back to my room to try and rest. It just seems like a mixed bag?
