A Great Family Holiday – We Would Come Back
We stayed here during the first week of September 2026. Before arriving, I had read quite a few reviews saying that some things were old, others were broken, and that the staff could be rude. However, our experience was completely different.
The rooms were really clean — actually much cleaner than we expected.
The staff were very nice, friendly and smiling at everyone. The only downside could be the language barrier, as most of the staff speak German and Turkish, while only a few speak English. However, communication was still possible, and if someone didn’t understand us, they always tried to find someone who could speak better English.
The food was excellent. Of course, don’t expect sushi or a huge selection of luxury dishes, but from our point of view there was a good variety, especially during dinner. There are three places where you can eat: the main restaurant, a smaller restaurant inside the hotel complex, and a restaurant near the beach. The beach restaurant and the smaller restaurant also have Pizza Hut, so they offer somewhat different food compared to the main restaurant.
The desserts were probably the most repetitive part, as many of them were the same. However, during dinner there were also whole cakes and other desserts that changed from day to day. Some evenings also had special themes, such as Mexican or Asian night, which was a nice touch.
The pools were quite cold, but we quickly got used to it. In fact, during the hot days it was quite refreshing. What really deserves to be highlighted is the number and variety of pools. The lazy river, pirate cave and waterfall were especially great, and our kids absolutely loved them.
The sea and the beach were also great. The beach was clean and sunny, and sun loungers were free for everyone. Keep in mind that we stayed there almost at the end of the main season, so this might be different during the busiest weeks of summer.
Overall, we had a really great experience and would definitely recommend this hotel, especially to families with children.

We had an absolutely wonderful stay at Club Grand Side in Turkey! Everything exceeded our expectations – the hotel was beautiful, the rooms were clean, the food was delicious with a huge variety to choose from, and the staff were friendly and helpful. The pools, beach, and overall atmosphere made our holiday truly unforgettable.
One of the biggest advantages of our stay was the Polish animator, Maja. She is cheerful, full of positive energy, and truly passionate about her job. She made everyone feel welcome, encouraged guests to join the activities without ever being pushy, and always had a smile on her face. Her enthusiasm and dedication created an amazing atmosphere and made our vacation even more enjoyable.
We highly recommend Club Grand Side to anyone looking for a relaxing and fun holiday. We will definitely come back!
Perfect family holiday
Very nice family hotel. A lot of swimming pools. Amazon Water World is one of a kind😍. Food various and tasty. Perfect coffee bar with delicious cakes next to the big swimming pool.
Not a 5 star hotel
The cleaning of our room was poor. The floors were dirty and hadn't been vacuumed or mopped. We also ran out of toilet paper and had to go to the front desk to get more. On top of that, there was no soap in the bathroom. Smoking outside does not have any regulation, not good for non-smokers.
Happy to come again! ☺️
We enjoyed every part of our stay. Hotel staff were very friendly, smiley and so fast with every our request. Our family room was very nice, resort was clean, and well equipped. Kids loved Amazon water world and wild river, I also enjoyed wellnes and perfect massage and the food was delicious too. Great location and lots of possibility shopping around.
