Side Spring Hotel

Hello, I was there from 1st to 10th of October. I want to mention from the beginning that I have never posted a hotel review. I had the opportunity to stay in many hotels during my vacations. Someone must tell the real truth. I will mention not only the negative ones. 1) The Internet is quite good even on the 2nd floor and it's free. 2) Every morning at 10 and 11 a.m. there is a free minivan (very old) that transports you from the hotel to Blue Beach and back at 4 p.m. and 5 p.m. free of charge. 3) The sunbed allocated to this hotel is also free. 4) The only members of the hotel staff who are really realistic and polite are the young waiter, about 22-25 years old, and the receptionist (also a man) of about the same age. By chance, these two speak and understand English.In total, 3 members of the hotel understand and speak English. I think the 3rd is the manager or even the owner, but I will come back to him later because it is good to know what kind of fake person he is. What is negative: the food! me and my wife not being picky and we don't have any allergies to the ingredients either! We went "half board" but we regretted it because for the same price and the same 10 days I was in Alanya in May at the Club Big Blue Suite Hotel and almost everything was super,food,staff(all inclusive!). Every morning at Spring it was the same boring food, boiled eggs, some boiled vegetables without a bit of taste. Someone said here what a great barbecue near the pool on weekends, wrong! Only once a week (Tuesday) - I know because I stayed for 10 days and I saw it twice. That was really tasty and that so-called chef would give you drumstick and then look at you like "what, isn't it enough?" But what bothered me the most was the following incident: I am a heavy smoker and I insured myself by taking with me everything related to rolled cigarettes (tobacco, filters, papers and especially the rolling machine). Spain when I couldn't find some of these things and that's why I insured myself during my stay in Turkey. One of the afternoons before leaving the room I hung the "Do not disturb" sign on the outside of the door handle because we don't want them to clean our room because it was clean. Ofcourse when we cameback around 5pm that sign it was no longer on the door but inside, the cleaning lady had arranged the room again and threw all my things related to cigarettes in the trash who knows where. Basically, it was a bag with all these items,items very difficult to find in other countries,exept tobacco. I went to the reception and this time it wasn't that young man who speaks English so I tried to explain to the ladies who are part of the manager's family what happened. Finally they called the manager and he arrived after about 30 min.I explained the whole phase that I posted that sign on the door and it's no excuse that the cleaner doesn't know English, working in the hospitality for many years she should know wh

I booked this due to the positive reviews I had read but I am wondering if this was the same hotel. I did not expect 5* accommodation and service but I did expect more than I received . There was no lift and I arrived late at night and had to lug my suitcase up four flights of stairs. I was not even offered water after a long day of travel. There were some great positives. The evening meals were very good quality despite limited choice. Limited breakfast choices but good quality. I felt the the staff were watching people like hawks and I felt a sense of unease throughout, not the overly friendliness I kept reading about. I travelled as a solo woman. I wish as much effort had been placed on the cleanliness of my bathroom as was placed on constantly rearranging the furniture at the pool area as the shared areas were indeed clean. There was dodgy wiring to my tv and as the remote did not turn it off I had to unplug from the wall. I recommend using the safe for storage of items including essential medication. The cleaning lady unlocked my room whilst I was resting on the bed in my underwear the morning I was leaving to hint for a tip. She did not leave at that point, entered the room and insisted on using her phone to translate her comments. I feel this was inappropriate and unacceptable. I could say more.....
