“Nice Hotel / Resort - but what a fiasco with guests, pool decks and loungers”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 18 September 2010
3
people found this review helpful

Our family vacation from Canada to Turkey was good at this resort, overall. Decent facilitites, staff were hospitable, consciencious and the hotel was generally well kept and clean.

However, the group of guests coming from that largest European nation by population we found to be completely out of line. It was impossible to find a pair of pool loungers at 8:30am any given day. Apparently the guests get up as early as 4:00am to lay claim to their little piece of real estate and monopolize their loungers all day while they sleep in their rooms upstairs most of the day.

What a fiasco and we're shocked how the hotel handles this and doesn't pull all the guest towels to make them comply with the posted house rules. For such an orderly and apparently sophisticated society of guests I was dumb founded and shocked how this little game is played and how uncomfortable this feels as Canadian guests. I was tempted to take 150-200 towels on the morning we were leaving and throw them all in the pool!

Now I know what to watch for when I go traveling to European Resorts and speaking to others in Europe and Canada, now I've learned this is partly what gives this group of travelers an overall not so good reputation.

I hope the hotel does something about this - it was a real turn-off!

“Quite good, but not perfect”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 23 October 2009

Pros: Very nice and friendly personnel, with the exception of the entertainment staff. Great continental breakfast, generally good food and drinks selection.
Cons: Food, especially lunch, tends to get slightly boring over time (cycles every 4 days, on average). Entertainment staff was pretty unfriendly to mean, from time to time. Shows and entertainment generally were not very good.

“A nice stay”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 21 November 2007

person found this review helpful

We needed a hotel for 1 night while on our way to Beysehir. We decided to stay near Side as there would be many to choose from before going inland. In the evening darkness we ended up in front of Nova Park hotel. We are no Side fans and not at all inclusive fans, but as it was November the choice was limited.
We were very pleased with the hotel. We had a comfortable stay, good room, clean bathroom, really good breakfast and I especially mention the delicious honey straight from the honeycomb, good scrambled eggs and lovely mini pancakes!
Looking from our room down there was a large pool with big water slides, for children in summer it seemed like very nice if this is how you like to spend your holiday.
It is not located straight down the beach, but it is just a very little stroll down.
All in all, a good place for AI lovers, for those I will recommend!

  • Liked — There was no central heating working beyond control!
