Overall had an average to good time on this holiday, considering we went during a pandemic and it was very last minute booking as we wanted to avoid having to quarantine on return. Things you should know: I do not recommend this resort for more than one reason. I see most people have an issue with the food, I will say most times it was average, sometimes it was very good (they held celebratory dinners that were themed and the food was fresh and delicious) so I won't complain about it. The rooms were never actually clean, although someone would come and take the trash, refill your mini fridge and rearrange your bed every day. It wasn't very clean when we checked in and it wasn't properly cleaned on a daily basis either. An actual issue is that out of 10 people, 9 DO NOT speak a word of English. They all, however, speak German and Russian so unless you speak either, I would avoid the frustration of not being able to figure out how to book your shuttle to the airport for 2 days because no one can tell you, like we did. Reception as an experience was quite unpleasant for us. Check-in was chaotic and took a long time; again, very few people spoke English and some of them would get frustrated for having to explain things in English. Their All Inclusive deal gives you the right to order local drinks (nothing international) between 8am and 11pm only. After 11pm, you have to pay for any drink you order. The hotel is across the street from a mosque. It did not bother us in the slightest, we actually enjoyed the prayer time but you should be aware one of those times is around 5am when the sun comes up. The resort beach is 12-15 minutes away from the hotel. There is transport available every 15 minutes and I do not recommend strolling as it is not scenic, it's quite abandoned and there are strays in the area. The beach is decent, not great and quite far from any kind of other restaurant, store or any sort of entertainment. There are small shops and a market 5-10 minutes away from the resort. I strongly recommend visiting Side Town and Antalya Kaleiçi (Old Town) if you are in the area as they are both beautiful and worth a day trip each. There is virtually no information on the infrastructure of this area online, so don't bother googling where to go to catch a bus or what bus to take, you have to ask around and hope the person you are talking to, has a minimum understanding of the English language. To get to Side Town you need to catch a mini bus that is 5 minutes away, to get to Antalya you need to catch a mini bus towards Managvat, make sure your poorly English speaking driver understands where you're going, get off where the driver tells you and wait for a bigger bus to take you to Antalya. Everyone at any step expects a tip so be prepared for that with cash.

Myself and cousins booked this holiday back in January 2022 for the end of August 2022 and we could not wait! On arrival, after the very long late night transfer from the airport to the hotel, we were informed by the receptionist that they did not have two rooms for us (which we had booked). He told us that he would upgrade us for the night to stay in their 'Jacuzzi Suite' which guests usually have to pay extra for. We had to take this offer or we would've had to sleep in the Lobby which they sadly suggested... We arrived at the room at around 2am with 1 double bed and 1 sofa. There was 4 of us, all adults. There was not enough space for us at all. We then had to wait 2 hours for another bed to be delivered to the room so we all had a bed to sleep on. This took several phone calls to reception. We were told to arrive at reception the next morning for 10am in order for us to get our allocated rooms. This was not the case and we were eventually given our rooms around lunchtime, however when we arrived to the rooms they had not been cleaned. We also booked 2 Double Standard Rooms (extra money) and were given 2 Double Economy rooms with an extremely small balcony. The hotel would not do anything about this. If you are English, please do not speak to the Lady named Stella behind reception. She will only speak German and roll her eyes if you tell her you are English. She was very unhelpful and rude. We had several questions during our stay and it was extremely difficult and frustrating to find someone who would understand us. The doormen spoke better English than the Receptionists. Overall, we enjoyed our holiday. The pools, beach and entertainment staff are great! But we wouldn't recommend to only English speaking people.

I have stayed in side crown sunshine the hotel is a semi luxury hotel with 24-hours food and drinks staff are very friendly the foods is very tasty and and all variety of international cuisine including mainly the Turkish cuisine. Three swimming pools with plenty of sunbeds and lounges. The location is far from everything ( half an hour from Side 25 minutes from Manavgat ) however you can get a minibus for 1 or 2 Euros into Side town centre or Manavgat. The only problem I had is I have booked a deluxe sea view room and I didn't get that and on arrival they offered me to pay for a room with a Jacuzzi instead ( apparently they do this with everyone which is a tactic from the reception guys ) The main question is would I come back? and my answer will be YES however they need to honour the right rooms which people have paid for Thank you entertainment team and all the waiters too.
