Side Resort Annex

Good food, nice location, lovely waitresses.
However as soon as it gets to 22:50/55 everything goes off (music, lights, bar) and you literally feel like you’re are being pushed to go back to your room.
The music they play it’s so depressing so you feel like all you want to do is go to sleep or get drunk and not remember the night.

We stayed here 2 years ago. The biggest highlight of this place is its beach - unfortunately we need to go there by bus. This is quite a distance to the old town. Nearby is the happy bar with very loud music till 3-4 am!!! Service was mediocre. Rooms - it depends what you get. Food ok but nothing extraordinary. The pool area pretty small and crowded.

I enjoyed my all inclusive stay, the staff were pleasant & kind, rooms were very clean, the buffet food was basically good for the price, great salads & I stuck with the freshly cooked chicken & fish. I my view avoid the burgers as they are truly awful. Drinks were budget, Swimming pool was fab. I paid the Reception chap as requested in cash for Wifi & was then asked for a duplicate payment for this as I checked out, I declined to pay this twice & I think that he 'Trousered the money as a bit of a 'Hustle'. I believe that the 'Side Resort Annex' will close at the end of Oct 24 for refurbishment & then be absorbed into the current 'Side Resort Hotel' next door which will probably be renamed. Good location, it's an easy 20 min walk into Side town & Marina. I felt safe at all times.

The hotel is certainly graded correctly at 3 star. Rooms:- Immaculately clean and very comfortable beds. The shower is amazing. We started in a basement room that was horrid with no view or much light. In the morning spoke to reception who moved us to 3rd floor overlooking the pool…perfect. Location:- You can walk to the beach but it’s way too hot even at only 25 mins. Beach shuttle is great runs about every 30 mins takes 5 mins. The old town is lovely and only 10 minutes walk make sure to turn right at Antique Restaurant for a shortcut. Drinks:- Poor! Every cocktail seemed to be blue and weak as. Efes beer on tap bar area shabby. Entertainment:- Only 30-40 mins on 3 out of 7 nights. Poolside:- Loads of sunbeads but despite that there are the usual saddos reserving them at 7 am. Music from bar too loud! Food:- Awful really. Breakfast is good salads very good but the hot food consists of turkey turkey and more turkey. Burgers in the afternoon 14-16:00 are good. Turkish night BBQ was excellent the hotel should do more of these. We didn’t starve as we ate out a few times but went to lunch and dinner with dread as to what we would find. Overall wouldn’t go back despite good staff. The annex has been bought by Side Resort next door and is apparently undergoing renovation over the winter I hope it comes up to the higher standards of that hotel. I got the feeling they were winding the place down.

The property was in good location and 10 minute walk into Side which is beautiful. the lady who runs the hotel could not have been more helpful. food decent, good range of drinks and great value. There was a shop on site and everything in there good value (stayed at another hotel during stay where shop took advantage).
