After staying in the old city area of Antalya, it was a pleasure to stay at the Hane hotel in Side. It was a full board hotel, with many activities and private beach. Service was good, room clean, and meal a pleasure to sample and enjoy.

What I learned was that most of the hotels in the Side area seem to cater to specific nationalities. The Hane hotel had many tourists from Germany, and other Germanic countries, so their understanding of English was limited, but we were able to make it through the one week we stayed at the hotel. But in the future, I would find a full board resort hotel, that catered to English speakers, to make the stay more enjoyable. Worse comes to worse, just bring a translating dictonary in Turkish to communicate with hotel staff.

The hotel was located to a large bazzar, which was aimed at tourists. Prices were good for leather goods and clothes. Transportation to and from the hotel was by taxi or rental car. Taxi are resonably priced.

The beach was clean and a snack bar was near the beach to get drinks.

Hane is rated as a three star, but the service was very good and the hotel was nice. A higher rates star hotel will get you a few more services, but the price would be much higher. Hane is a great value for the money.
