Reviews of Seher Sun Beach Hotel, Side

I looked on this site to find out what the Seher Sun hotel was like before we booked and I was surprised to only see 2 reviews! But having been, I know why...I think we were the only English couple there and possibly the only ones that had stayed in the hotel for many, many months?! Side and the surrounding hotel seem to attract a lot of Germans (not that there is any problem with that - everyone was very pleasant apart from meeting a reputation for reserving sun beds with towels at an ungodly hour and then not being there all day which was a wee bit annoying), nevertheless, we had a lovely few days if Sun and Sand are all you are looking for.



Location: 5-10 minute taxi ride to centre of Side. Short walk from lovely sandy beach with water sports and hotel sun lounges. All very nice and standard. Bar and food in private area by beach. Nice promenade to walk along by beach in evenings. Side worth a visit but if you don't like shop touts, stay away during the evening!



Rooms: Small but clean and modern-ish.



Staff: Friendly and helpful, mostly German speaking but we got along fine.



Food: Canteen 'help yourself' style...we liked it but we're not shy at trying new foods. Continental breakfasts (hot and cold but no English fry-ups!), wide choice at lunch and similar in evening. Crep-style wraps (sweet and savoury) available through the afternoon and very nice.



Drinks: All ok: local alcohol.



My boyfriend and I wanted a four day holiday simply to relax and unwind, we did get that but a few things that I didn't expect: Loud music (mainly songs I’d never heard of) and occasional 'team' games by the pool was not my sort of thing (and I’m only 27!) but hey ho, it was a package holiday...what else can you expect? Not much entertainment so take a few card or board games too if you like that sort of thing as you can sit by the pool in the evening.



Top tip: Take Euros as well as Turkish Lira and you're less likely to be ripped-off with dodgy exchange rates. Recomend going all-inclusive or SC at the mo as Euro is weak and so everything could have got quite pricey.



Have a fab holiday!

Well when i went to Turkey i was quite nervous but as soon as we got into the hotel i felt much better, the hotel was so clean and looked like a 4* hotel. The receptionist did speak german but another spoke english. She was very helpful and friendly. We needed a 3 pin becasue their plug is only 2 pinned. So she kindly ordered one for us.



The food is amazing!!! and the waitors are helpful.



However the outdoor swimming pool is really cold and the indoor one is quite cold but too small. They have like a mini gym and beauty parlour type of thing where you can have a massage etc. A big disadvantage is when you go for the entertainment bit which is after dinner, the people smoked too much and you can actually see al the smoke in the room, and there isnt much too do in the hotel



A lot of the people do speak german and turkish but a few speak english.



But i would definitely reccomend it and go again in the future!

first of all at this moment in time it is in the middle of a building site, as for it being a 4 star hotel i don't think so, more a 3 star though i have stayed in better 3 stars. according to my brochure it has a tennis court yes it has but no net or fencing round it, there is a mini bar in the room, No there is not there is a fridge, there are bycicles to hire though i have not seen any, the staff are friendly but only if you are german, our highlight of entertainment was a quiz, you guessed it it was in german, though i must say the rooms were clean a maid came round everyday, above each dish of food there was a sign saying what it was which was great if you can read german, the all inclusive drink menu was beer, vodka, gin and brandy anything else you pay for, if you are disabled the entrance does have ramps though they are quite steep you would not like to go up and down them often, the staff speak turkish and german and maybe 1 or 2 have a very limited amount of broken english. the nearby outskirts of the town of side which is approx 2 mile away sell a wide range of clothing,jewellery and glasses thats optical glasses which seem very good value but again you need to learn german which is widely spoken
