Side Crown Serenity

After our original hotel being changed to this hotel I was concerned and didn't know what to expect, However after spending a week here I'm not sure why the bad reviews. All staff were helpful and accommodating, they all spoke a mixture of languages and always friendly. Never had any issues. Rooms were clean and tidied and even fridge stocked in the room which was great after getting into the hotel late on arrival. The only bad points are the rooms are not sound proof. You can hear the prayer alarm go off at 5am and further throughout the day, as well as the entertainment which luckily does finish at 11pm. There is a good range of food and drink however are not consistent or measured so some bar tenders tastes better than others! Lovely clean pool but rather cold but understandable as only now just coming into the season. 10min walk to the beach or shuttle until 5:30pm, lovely sports bar close by and several shops and a pharmacy which was useful during our stay as we ended up using it.

The Place Was Amazing! We First came in and checked in the staff was so friendly! But the only thing is the first day the Wi-Fi was down and broke but the next day it was back. There is a games room and at 9:30PM everyday there is activities and there were black men like 6 doing backflips, front flips and juggling balls it was amazing because it was 3 euro for candy floss or popcorn. And if you buy all exclusive you get every free food and free drinks! There is a morning gym. There is a Bar. There is Amazing Rooms you can ask for another bed and they will give you it too cause my brother didn’t want to share a bed with me so he called the staff and he got the bed for free! ITS A 5 STAR YOU SHOULD DEFENINTLY GO!!! 😊😊😊

I do not recommend! The staff dare to STEAL from wallets left in the locked room. It wouldn't be so bad but that was so pathetic. Maybe they wanted to get some tip... But not this way. Never again!

Fantastic hotel, wifi is only free in the lobby if you require wifi around the hotel you have to pay (low price) in euros. Same goes for the safe but it wasn’t a problem. Staff were friendly, their language skills are amazing but low on English which was ok for us as they spoke Polish ok and we could communicate with some staff in Polish or English. Room was clean and quite modern, fridge was always topped up with drinks and you are able to have tea or coffee in the room as well. There is air conditioning in the bedrooms and it works great. The balcony had a beautiful view and hearing Ezan from the nearby mosque added to the atmosphere. Swimming pool was clean and water felt fresh, the sunbeds were hard to get but I didnt have a day where I couldn’t get a sunbed at all. Food was the best thing about this hotel, huge variety, breakfast was OK but Dinner that started at 18:30 was the best! The meat variety and the vegetables and salads, I always had a plate full sometimes even got seconds and thirds. The desserts were fresh and gorgeous tasting. Also, food was available 24/7. Bar staff were extremely friendly and accommodating. The hotel had entertainment every night around 21:00 only for about 2hr but it was good, we could find a schedule of what was on every night by the dining room on a notice board. Spa was also available treatments ranging from around 60 euro up. The hotel also had a hairdresser which also did beauty treatments and had a variety of shops (shoes, clothes and souvenirs) the shops were at discount price and we found a lot of clothes and other items cheaper than in the bazaar’s. There is also a Jewellery store on site and the Jeweler is a very friendly man, good at deals. Hotel itself is about 30 minutes from the Old town, but there are plenty of buses that go from just outside the hotel to Side Old Town every 15 minutes that cost 30lira or 1 euro. There is a free shuttle to the beach but we did not take one as the weather was so beautiful, we walked and it took us less than 10 minutes. There’s gorgeous food at the beach also, and drinks. Sunbeds are plenty on the beach and some cool activities at extra charge. Over all the stay was fantastic and would 100% recommend.
