Not a bad hotel, in a very good location, there are many grocery stores, cafes and ATMs outside the hotel.
We visited NG this winter.
Among the advantages: very tasty and varied food, excellent evening programs with dancing in the lobby, a good spa.
Among the disadvantages: a very meager mini-bar (only plain water and juices), old worn spa robes, no cosmetics in the bathroom, only 2 liquid soaps at the sink and in the shower (take gels and shampoos with you), very weak sound insulation between the rooms (we were unlucky, a family with a girl of about 3 years old, who literally screamed and hysterical 24/7, especially at night), absolutely disgusting local alcohol, you can only drink cocktails, and so either shop at duty free, or there is a Migros not far from the hotel.
Overall, I liked it, despite the disadvantages, we had a good rest.
I had a rest last week in November 2024. I liked the hotel. The rooms are clean, there are bathrobes and slippers, the food is delicious and varied. I was particularly surprised by the large number of cheeses. The bars serve delicious cocktails and coffee. Outside in the daytime, you can take hot waffles with syrups and fresh fruits or just ice cream. It's not far from the sea. Only Russians swam at this time of year. Since it was already getting chilly at 4 p.m., I left the sea and went to the spa. The pool, however, is very chlorinated. But we sat in the sauna, and after that we went to the pool outside to cool off. The evening shows are a blast, some with dancing. I recommend.
I visited this hotel in March 2024.The hotel itself is not bad.This is not the first line from the sea.Of the advantages:good food, everything was necessary.There was always tea and desserts at the bar.The rooms are cozy, everything was in the room:A kettle and soap accessories were in abundance.What are the disadvantages:at first, I was given a room with a view of the pool-the music from 9 a.m. until late at night was just blaring.There was a question: is everyone in the hotel deaf or something?It is not possible to rest after lunch.However, there was a customer service girl at the reception, she understood Russian well and helped me with the room change.I went to the pool once - it's very small and at that moment there were a lot of Iranian children splashing and splashing, I was not comfortable.It was after the pool that I got sick, caught the rotovirus, just like my friends-the whole family of four had a fever, vomiting and diarrhea during their entire vacation.Of the 8 days of my vacation, I was ill for four of them and stayed in a room with a temperature of 39.7.Of course, you can't blame this hotel for my sore, but the residue remains.Would I recommend him to my friends?If the price is adequate, then you can relax here once.
A wonderful hotel in every way: staff, rooms, cleaning, food, drinks, entertainment.! Delicious, good cocktails with imported good alcohol. Clean, with good: cafe and bar, sun beds, volleyball, boccia (All animators are well done, they try) entering the sea fine sand is the beach! There is a transfer to it, but I preferred to walk, not far away. Jazz, violin, piano, etc., classical music in the lobby bar is just super! A show in the amphitheater! Discos! Children's room and animation. The pools are indoor and outdoors, where there is some kind of movement all the time. Great respect for the Coffee cafe with a delicious assortment of tea, coffee, sweets and wonderful girls working there! I was at the hotel in March and October 2024. I want more!
I liked the hotel: good cuisine, good location, a lot of shops nearby, it doesn't even bother that this is the 2nd line, 7-10 minutes to the sea at a calm pace and small cars walk. But there is one THING: towels are changed 1 time a day and this office opens at 9:00. And if you want to go to the sea before breakfast, and you need to leave a towel there to take a sunbed, because after 10 o'clock almost everything is occupied, then when you return from the sea, they tell you that there are no clean towels. I wrote this as it was with me, and if you go first to breakfast, then to the sea, then everything is fine.
We stayed at the Castival Hotel in Side and were absolutely delighted! This is a really wonderful place for a family vacation and more.
The advantages that are especially memorable:
Location: The hotel is located in a picturesque location, close to the sea. The beach is easily accessible on foot or by shuttle.
Territory: A huge, green, well-maintained territory with many pools (including children's pools with slides!), bars and places to relax. We always found free sun beds.
Food: Just great! A huge selection of dishes for every taste. Everything is fresh, delicious and well-prepared. We were especially pleased with the themed evenings with cuisines from different countries. There is a diet menu.
Service: The hotel staff is very attentive and friendly. We are always ready to help and answer any questions. There is a sense of caring for each guest.
Animation: Animators are working 100%! The entertainment program is very rich and interesting for both children and adults. The evening shows are amazing! A mini club for children is a special joy!
Rooms: The rooms are clean, cozy and comfortable. Cleaning was carried out regularly and efficiently.
Generally:
Castival Hotel is an excellent choice for those who want to spend an unforgettable vacation in Turkey. The price-quality ratio is simply excellent. I recommend this hotel to anyone who is looking for comfort, entertainment and delicious food! We will definitely come back here again!
We stayed at this hotel in November, the staff is helpful, excellent cuisine, good cocktails at the bar.The beach can be reached by golf cart, or on foot in 7-10 minutes.There is a snack on the beach during the day, so it is not necessary to return to the hotel for lunch.
You can also visit the Ala-kart restaurant, we really liked it (Mediterranean cuisine)
There is a cafe on site, delicious desserts, and good coffee.
In the evening, performances are held until 23:00.Germans and British mostly live in the hotel.
There are many shops and a shopping center near the hotel.There is also a bus stop nearby from where minibuses go to the old town, Nova Mall.
We had a rest in September 2024, the rest was wonderful. The hotel is compact with a small area, but clean with friendly staff. We had no problems with cleaning, everything worked in the room (plumbing, air conditioning). The windows of the room faced the courtyard, so we didn't hear anything about the road and the noise, there are rooms where the windows overlook the road. During this period, there were a lot of Europeans who like to chill by the pool, so you could always find free sun beds on the beach. The sea and the beach are good, the entrance to the sea is gentle, the beach is sandy. Everything was fine with nutrition, too, especially the fruit table.
The hotel has a Russian-speaking staff member, Angela, who is ready to help and prompt. Hello and thanks to Angela😉
Excellent hotel, I recommend it. Excellent attitude of the staff, delicious and varied food, drinks, and entertainment. I would like to mention the animators, Emre, very active, interesting, attentive to vacationers, knows languages, conducts entertaining games. I recommend everyone to visit this hotel! The hotel will meet 5 stars!!!
Positive:
- we arrived 7 hours before check-in. We quickly resolved the issue and settled into a free room with a sea view.
- problems are solved quickly
- EXCELLENT CUISINE!!!!! Every day there is a varied menu, good drinks, including alcoholic ones. Delicious beer. My favorite alcoholic cocktail is Pina Colada. A wide variety of meat dishes, cakes, cheeses, snacks....🤪🤪🤪
- daily room cleaning + refilling the refrigerator with water and juices.
- friendly staff. Special thanks to the Russian-speaking manager Angela!!!! She is very sweet and friendly. I helped to solve all the issues quickly.
- good location (1 hour drive from the airport)
- good quality shampoo and liquid soap dispensers.
- electric cars often drive to the beach and back (600 meters)
- very tasty ice cream
- every evening there are various entertainment programs on the street. There is a hall where you can listen to live music (violin, piano)
- within walking distance of shops (there are exchangers), shopping malls, grocery stores. There is no point in going somewhere to get the goods. Prices are the same everywhere (bargain!!!😉)
Cons:
- few Russian-speaking managers and staff
- old terry bathrobes, small sizes.Maximum Xl. For big men, they are too small....
- Sooooo hard blankets, like waffle towels. After the request to replace it, they brought light synthetic ones (thank you)
- All additional accessories - body lotion, hair conditioner, toothbrushes, foam and shaving machine - on additional request.
- upon check-in, a "compliment from the hotel" bottle of red wine is placed in the room. I had to remind you about it - they brought it😁
Recommendations:
- If you go on a sightseeing tour of Side (old town, boat trip on the river, mosque, olive museum). Not bad. But....Don't get fooled by buying olives at the museum. Prices are inflated by 3-4 times. You can buy everything in the store. Try everything, but don't buy😊
- take plenty of pancreatin with you. There is no way without enzymes. The food is sooo delicious. Praise the chefs!!!
- there is a tray with Ayran cups in the bar at the end of the hall. It is very tasty (unlike ayran in our stores) and healthy. To help the intestines!
Have a good rest, everyone. A wonderful hotel. About 70% are Germans, 15 are Poles, 15 are Russians🤗💗💗💗
We went from September 15 to September 24, 2024. That's it. The weather is wonderful. Warm sea, 22C in the evening, it's not so hot anymore....
Great hotel. Nice rooms, delicious varied food, pleasant staff, good alcohol. The beach is 5 minutes on foot or 2 minutes by electric car. Nearby there are shops, pharmacies with Russian-speaking pharmaceuticals, migros, bim, karefur. There is an animation program every evening. We really liked it!
I liked it! I lived for a week - cleanliness, comfort, delicious and varied food. Friendly and attentive staff. Beautiful decoration of the floors, I felt comfortable. Near Migros, stops to Side and Manavgavta. To the sea 10 min. Beautiful view from the balcony to the sea.
It's a great hotel. We had a vacation in January with a small child. We arrived at 7 a.m. and were immediately sent to breakfast. We were already checked in at 8, although according to the standard at 14.00. Very pleasant staff throughout the hotel. Everyone entertained the baby and was especially welcomed. Amazing cuisine, great selection, something new for dinner every day. I was especially impressed by seafood day. Breakfast and lunch are relatively similar, but due to the large selection, you can still eat different things every day. It's very beautiful inside, and you can see the great work of the designers. There were many athletes in the hotel with us, for example FC Spartak or the Turkish national ice hockey team at the training camp. It was funny. There is a kids' club, but kids under 4 years old can stay there with their parents. If you need a babysitter, a girl from there can stay with the baby for 20 euros per hour. We have used this opportunity 3 times, and we are satisfied. The spa center is normal, there is a large swimming pool, a small one for kids, the hammam was written that it was cold, but this is a hammam that is designed for procedures (and not a la sauna, as we used to warm up), there is also a Finnish sauna. A hotel is being demolished next to it, rumbling can be heard during the day if you chill outside by the pool) but it is tolerable. There was nothing to be heard in the room. They promised that it would be over by the summer. And a beautiful boardwalk nearby. Especially near the Camellia Hotel (you need to go a little further, but it's worth it)
It was the beginning of December, the sea was already cool.
Among the advantages, the food in the hotel is varied , there is a lot to choose from, a huge number of cakes, there are 2 dozen types of cocktails in the bar.
Live music every evening.
The room is spacious and clean, cleaned every day.
There are small disadvantages. By the end of the season, some rooms were under renovation: fitness , 2nd sauna , tropical rain shower in the spa and several more rooms in the spa. The warm pool smelled a little like bleach.
An amazing hotel, excellent service, beautiful and premium, I was incredibly glad to relax here, but there are a couple of nuances, the plumbing is a little tortured and it was frustrating that the beach was in cigarette butts, but this is already a factor of people, but they cleaned it overnight or evening is a plus
Nice hotel, we were at the end of June 24.The food is good, the restaurant and the grounds are clean.Beach bar, pool bar, waffles, ice cream, pastry shop-everything is very tasty.
The pools are clean, there are not enough sun loungers, you can find sun loungers on the beach during the day.
The room is not big, but cozy. The safe is free, the mini bar was not always replenished, we had to catch the maids.The cleaning in the room is not very high-quality, garbage sometimes remained and the ashtray on the balcony was not cleaned.
The territory is not large.
We had a good rest, but we won't go to this hotel a second time, it's a little boring.
I liked the hotel, of the cons there is no Playground, there is only a children's room and there is no pool inside the hotel, now about the pros, there are many more:
Excellent food, delicious and varied, especially liked the grill bar, interesting animation, there was always something new: live concerts, extreme shows, Brazilian shows, piano performances, etc
Separately, I want to praise the staff and animators, very positive guys, it was nice to be at the hotel. The rooms have been renovated (for example, the laminate has not been changed, it is a little worn, but for me it does not matter), the rooms are spacious, excellent views of the pool. There are shops and a mall near the hotel, but they sell fakes of famous brands, nothing interesting. It is easier to take a minibus and get to Side, or to Manavgat for shopping. The beach is sand, in general I like the beaches of Side, the sea is clean, the depth increases gradually, it is perfect for children. The ancient city of Side is also nearby, a 10-minute bus ride away. In general, an excellent hotel for its price, I recommend it.
A wonderful hotel, high level of service, respectful attitude towards guests, friendly staff. I also really liked the territory of the hotel, it is very conveniently located and cozy. I definitely recommend it
I really enjoyed my stay at the hotel :
Helpful staff, delicious varied food, a large selection of cocktails at the bar)
Nice beach, warm sea entrance to the territory via a bridge over a river with turtles)
There are also many cats and kittens on the territory)
Thank you for a great stay!!!🥰
Special thanks to SELIN from the reception , Hassan from the reception (always friendly and will tell you the necessary information), MEHMET from Ponto MK sociable helps in everything ✨
An excellent comfortable hotel, a good gym, lots of pools, good alcohol, bartenders do not create queues at bars, wine is freely available, you can pour yourself, decent food. Lifeguard are not annoying, the staff is correct, they know minimal Russian. Quietly calmly
The hotel is wonderful, the food is very tasty and varied, you can eat at any time, the animation program is on top, the animators are fully involved in the process so that no one gets bored. Great bar, delicious cocktails. The rooms are always clean, cleaned every day. Administrator Muattar is interested in ensuring that the rest was at the best level, a responsive girl who will help solve any issue. I would like to express my great gratitude to all the staff!
A wonderful hotel! Excellent service, good cuisine. The hotel is for young people and families without children. They just have nothing to do there. They take you to the sea instantly or 8 minutes at a slow pace. A good budget five, no frills. I recommend. I would repeat it at an adequate price.
A very cozy and wonderful hotel!
The buffet is at the highest level.Nice beach (there is food and drinks on the beach too)We also liked to go to the coffee shop with our parents, which is located in the hotel. There are many different sweets there.The staff is very polite and helpful! I would like to express special gratitude to the animators! Contests, discos, yoga are just🔥🔥🔥We always came up with something new and interesting!!!I especially want to express my gratitude to the animator- Ali! I am always ready to help and suggest something. It also charges you with positive energy for the whole day and does not let you get bored.
The food is delicious and varied, the service is good, although the hotel is always 100% full, but the wait is not that long, everything is clean, but the hotel is not new. Summary the hotel is worth 5 stars plus. The territory is not large, and there is a variety of animation every evening.
A cool 5 star hotel. There are 4 swimming pools and water slides on the territory of the hotel. Lots of bars and restaurants. In the evening, there is live music in the lobby of the bar, and on the street there is a disco until 23:00, Germans, Poles, and British relax. There are only a few Russians. The staff does not speak Russian. German, English or Turkish. The rooms are cleaned every day. As for food, it is for slaughter. Meat, fish, fruits, vegetables. Waiters serve you at the tables bringing drinks. As for the beach, it is a 5-minute walk away. There is a great bar on the beach. The beach itself is sandy like the bottom of the sea. According to the infrastructure around the hotel. Lots of shopping malls, streets of shops. There is a Migration center nearby. There are bars and discos.
The staff is very friendly, if you need something, you will definitely be provided with a Russian speaker. The food is delicious, there is enough of everything. The beach is a 5-minute walk away. There are shopping malls nearby. The hotel is clean.
We were in November of the 24th year. A wonderful hotel, we have something to compare it with. There is some fatigue, but it is not overshadowed by rest. The staff is great, they don't communicate very well in Russian, but they try to be 5+. Room cleaning is decent. The food is varied and of good quality - chicken, turkey, lamb, beef, seafood.
Special thanks to the Muattai Hotel employee for resolving the controversial situation.
I had a rest from 24.11 to 05.12. 2024. The attentive and courteous staff is always ready to help. All issues were resolved quickly and efficiently. Meals for 10 points. I'm happy with my vacation.
I love Side, especially this village (Evrensiki).The hotel is wonderful, the attitude of the staff is great (it does not depend on where you are from).Food for four, it seems like a lot of things, but on the fifth day I got tired.Nice cocktails in the lobby.The beach is nice.The room stock is a bit shabby.In general, we were satisfied 🙂
We are traveling independently along the Turkish coast, for the fourth year (review 2023).
Therefore, I will have an adequate review - it is the hotel, not the tour operator, etc.
We chose three different 5-star hotels on this trip, this was the end of the trip) and it was more expensive than the previous ones.
120€ per day 2 adults + child 12 years old
Of the advantages:
After renovation, stylish.
The food was delicious. They gave a large femel number of 33kv .
Pastry shop until 23:30
The snack bar on the pool is on the menu and worked until
23:30. A great snack on the beach - grill, gozleme, fruits, vegetables, etc.
In the evening, cover bands sing on the pool and piano in the lobby.
A trendy gym.
Active animators.
The beach is about 7 minutes away, but there is a golf cart.
Of the cons: the poorest mini bar that I have seen in Turkey) only water and a couple of juice bags.
Well, another point - I do not know the pros or cons)) 80% of vacationers are pensioners from
Europe.
It was from 06/24/24 to 07/04/24
The reception looks very beautiful, and it is complemented by a gorgeous chandelier waterfall.
We moved into room 3102, which is located on the third floor. Pool view. The room was cleaned, the furniture was good. The mini-bar had water, "Saka" and cherry juice.
• Cleaning takes place once a day. If you need to be cleaned faster, you can press the button (near the bathroom door).
• The lobby is located, as well as the reception on floor L. I attach the menu)
• The main restaurant of the Castival hotel is already on the 1st floor. The food is great! Eggs are cooked for breakfast (fried, boiled, poached), pancakes are made (you can add syrup or nutella) and much more. You can make the salad yourself or put it ready-made. They give you broccoli. In general, they give about the same. There were several Turkish evenings during the entire stay!
• One of the disadvantages of the hotel may be that the Ala-kart restaurant has been open since the age of 18! Even at 17 they may not let you in. This is made for a romantic setting (spelled out in the concept of the hotel).
• Spa treatments and towel changes take place on the 2nd floor. I was in the salt room. Honestly, when I was sitting, I felt like a prisoner in the basement. As it is, there are no questions about the SPA.
• The territory is not very large, but it is not small either. The path with palm trees is very suitable for cool photos. It's very cool when the hotel is not all in concrete, but there is an area with trees)
• I counted 5 pools in the hotel (for water polo, one large, regular, with slides and children's).
Be very careful, as you can easily slip and break something!
• About the transfer to the sea. We need to change the seats on the mini cars! To take an example from the nearby Luna blanka hotel (I was there in 2019. The transfer is very nice!). He also rarely drives. But still it didn't spoil anything, because it takes 5-7 minutes to walk to the sea.
• The beach bar opens late and closes early (compared to other hotels).
• Beach cleaning is good.
• If you do not have time to take the sunbed(s) before 7:30-8:00, then there will be no more space. (But one sunbed can be grabbed;)
• It is worth paying attention to the cafe (-1 floor). Everything is delicious and the staff is friendly! (As elsewhere in the hotel)
• It takes about 1.5 hours to get to Antalya Airport. (Including the stop). About an hour, if without stopping.
• Live music plays in the lobby in the evenings!
We would have come back here! 🌴☀️
I liked the hotel. Good location. There are many shops nearby. The beach is great, you just need to walk or take a golf cart. The drinks are not very good. The food is ordinary.
Good day! There were hotels in this area in 2024. We took 7 nights. I want to share my opinion. This hotel is located in the village of Manavgat. We really liked the hotel and were well received. We arrived at 12:30 p.m., checked in an hour later as the room was being prepared. The hotel is clean and large. The food is very tasty and varied. There is meat and seafood, but not always. There is a restaurant at the hotels, we had one free visit to Alakart, but we need to make an appointment in advance, we did it right away next week. The hotel is more designed for European guests. It's a 10-minute walk to the sea. There is a bar on the beach, fruits, and hot tortillas. According to shopping, there is nothing to do in manavgat and it is expensive, mostly everything is in euros. We went to the old town of Side, it is very interesting there, there is something to see. There is a parking lot next to the hotel where you can safely take a bus to the old town in 25 minutes. There is a migration store and ATMs nearby. There is a shuttle service to the beach every 10 minutes. I can't describe everything, I'll say that the hotel is very cool, there is animation, 2 swimming pools, there is a children's area. There are different programs in the evening. The alcohol is good, the cocktails are varied, the staff is kind, the guide is wonderful and not intrusive, the beach is sandy and the entrance is gentle. I recommend this hotel, there is something to compare it with.
The hotel was renovated in 2021. Modern interior. Beautiful animation. Food is available almost 24/7. I will post the opening hours of the restaurants in the photo.
Discos, live music concerts, foam discos are an evening cultural program.
There is a huge selection of food products. A wonderful, though not a large gym. The promenade for hiking or jogging along the sea is almost 3 km long. It is very comfortable. This time there were no more than 5 Russian-speaking guests. Mainly Germany, France, England and the countries of the Arab world.
The territory of the hotel is small, so all the movements are in plain sight. There is a spa center.
It's a 10-minute walk to the sea, but electric cars drive that take you to the beach. They want it every 15 minutes.
The hotel is clean and modern. I recommend.
Great hotel.
A large selection of food and drinks.
There are many areas where you can relax and have a great time.
A separate bar area, an area with confectionery.
There is also a wonderful relaxation area by the beach, with its own bar and a selection of food.
Special respect to the animator Emir.
It charges for an active and positive rest.
The guy is totally involved in the process👍👍👍✌️
The hotel is good. At first, I didn't really go in, because I feel the fleur of the 80s. but after living in it for 2 days, after reading about it, I personally felt a certain charm. It turns out that the owners buy furniture at auctions and restore it. The hotel is inhabited mainly by Europeans, who smoke a lot, but use little infrastructure. The pools are free, there are not many people in the sea. A good gym. There are greenery, it is easy to find shade. The pastry shop has delicious (which is not often) desserts. The buffet is not very cool, but it is normal. The dishes and appliances are clean. I didn't see any entertainment in the evening at the hotel, but it is located in the center, so you can take a walk. I have been to good hotels in Belek and changed my mind precisely because of objective factors.
We had a rest in the first half of March. We arrived early in the morning, were immediately invited to breakfast, then walked around the territory and by noon we had already checked into the room. There are no complaints about plumbing and household appliances, everything was functioning normally. I do not recommend going with children as there is practically no territory, two swimming pools, small slides, a small playground with a stage and that's it. There is also a children's room inside the building. There are live music programs every day in the evenings (there are no children's programs). The staff is polite, the work of the waiters and bartenders is excellent. In the evenings, three bartenders work in the lobby bar at the same time, so the queue was instantly resolved. There are also no questions about nutrition, everyone can find good dishes from a variety of assortment. So the rest was a success, if possible, I would not mind visiting the hotel again in the summer season, when everything is working to the fullest. By the way, an awning and a bar have already been stretched on the beach of this hotel, and the sand has been smoothed.
I would probably put 4+ a wonderful hotel, the food : of course, everything is over-dried (Most likely the meat is cooked for a long time so that no one is poisoned), Once they were given shrimps it was impossible to eat them at all, people got in line heated them with whole plates and then threw them away, they did not eat, it was a pity they were overcooked to a rubber states! The desserts were very beautiful and most of them delicious, the staff is super friendly and always ready to help! I really liked the cocktails in the vitamin bar for three euros! I didn't mind any money because they were very tasty! The beach is clean and the pools are warm! The only negative thing about the hotel that I took off the star for is the periodic smell of sewage in the rooms! In general, I have pleasant memories of this hotel! Thank you all very much!
The hotel is wonderful! It wasn't boring! The food restaurant is wonderful! A variety of dishes every day. It also changed from day to day. Live music!
Alcohol in all inclusive is also very diverse!.
Bar, restaurant, pool bar, sea bar!
The pool is warm, sauna, hammam, massage.
I will definitely come back with my family!
I recommend it!
Excellent hotel , good territory , there is a fitness room , a swimming pool , a spa area , food, it 's really cool to walk along half - empty beaches out of season !
Check-in at the hotel from 10/23/24 for 8 nights. They settled in quickly, in a bad room 1114, This is the first floor.The fact is that the window looks into the window of another hotel , and below there is a closed hangar in which unloading and loading are carried out, the noise is terrible, and it always happens only at night! This hangar is long and therefore there are ~ 10 rooms on one side and , accordingly, on the other side , so do not take rooms from 1112-1120 these are the rooms of the first floor. I think the 2nd floor is also suffering .They asked to change the number , tired of "football ", apparently they had to pay extra money...They generally like to get a tip right away, and then they do it..I'm used to the opposite, do well and get it! Next, the food is varied, but there is nothing for a vegetarian and for healthy food people to eat here.There are only fruits , grass, cucumbers radishes from vegetables, greenhouse tomatoes without delicious ...And a huge disadvantage to this hotel is that I was poisoned, seriously by food, since I do not drink alcohol...I was tempted by sweets ! I was not the only one, the ambulance was standing, someone was still sick. To my remark, they said that tourists had brought the virus...This is nonsense. Be careful! The beach is dirty, you can remove garbage from the sand...This month, the sea is cold and with a big wave at the end of October, the pools with gorgeous sizes with ice water are twice as cold as the sea, there is also a heated pool inside the hotel, which I hoped for, since I like to swim professionally, it is turned on on November 1. For all guests, of course, it is small by two lanes of ~ 18 meters. A good free hammam and a good salt room will help sick "bones" if you lie there for 30 minutes. Only the sun beds need to be changed, they are very uncomfortable and old.The animators are funny guys, they make fun, arrange games on the beach and in the evenings at the hotel.Tolerable mattresses in the room, a comfortable large bed. Russian Russian TNT TV channel is available and another series is shown in Russian. They clean the rooms quickly, there are stains from wet rags on the table, something like that..There is no iron in the room, ironing board, liquid soap in the cooler without a special smell...there is no toothpaste or brushes...This is a 5* hotel, it's just the basic things you need! The hotel +16 children are enough, and small ones are not at all clear...I wrote it truthfully, as it is!

A wonderful comfortable international hotel! The cuisine is beyond praise, delicious dishes, serving, variety, service, a large selection of delicacies and simple food. The rooms are very comfortable to stay in, very comfortable beds where you get enough sleep and feel rested! The sea is accessible, you can go down to the sauna directly by elevator. We were very happy with our family.
The hotel itself is not bad. But already tired. The food is good. Thanks to the chefs and waiters. There is live music in the lobby every evening. The beach is sandy. They give you a ride, but you can also walk. Not far. There are snacks at the beach bar.
Pulls on a solid 4.
We returned from the Castival Hotel on January 8, 2025.
I sincerely DO NOT recommend it for a family holiday at the moment, the building of the neighboring hotel is being broken behind the wall of the hotel, and besides the noise, dust is flying from the construction site, which is absolutely not conducive to a healthy rest. A la carte restaurants are closed.
The vegetables and poultry are excellent at the hotel, but I didn't like the soups and snacks. Only unsweetened pastries are good. Unfortunately, even a pretty cake can turn out to be completely tasteless. Ice cream waffles are good, which can be ordered after 15:00 in the window of the coffee shop overlooking the pool, but the system is strange, they cannot be ordered from the coffee shop.
Drinks. Of alcohol, beer is Ephesus only, red and white wine, imported alcohol, single drinks, which are not included, for an additional fee. Coffee in cars is very mediocre, like on an airplane. The Turkish tea is excellent.
The animation was rather sluggish, with a bit of darts, yoga, and evening music in the lobby. No one took care of the children.
Through the gate between the pools you can go to the path that leads across the bridge to the wonderful promenade between the hotels and the sea.
In general, I really like Side, I will definitely return, but of course to another hotel.
It's very nice there, a small cozy hotel. The food is super. Very clean. The alcohol is good. It takes about five minutes to walk to the beach. Across the bridge where the turtles live big. It's a lot of fun. But I think not for children, there is not enough space for them. The beach is super, the entrance to the sea is great.
A divine place! The kitchen is on top! Everything is delicious and there is a lot of everything, not monotonous! For a hotel of several floors, huge in capacity, everyone has enough of everything! The food is just licking your fingers... the drinks are super, alcohol flows like a river, delicious cocktails! The hotel is a city that you don't want to leave! There are a lot of pools, clean, food -. The sea! both by the pool and in the hotel, even a person does not need to eat so much!!! Dinners were skipped. I liked it very much! An unforgettable vacation! The sea is nearby, the sand is not deep!!!! The rooms are clean, the mini-bar has been updated, at least the mineral water curls in small convenient bottles! 5 stars like 10!
Pleasant place, service,varied food…But they were poisoned by desserts
The sea is close, the rooms are nice and clean, but we had a damaged mattress, they never changed it for us, although they had a replacement.
I really liked the animation too.
I really liked the hotel, we were there in October 2024, everything is very cool, the rooms are clean, the food is delicious even on the beach, the staff is responsive
