Pool

We stayed here as a family for a week in February. The location of the hotel is perfect very close to supermarkets, bazaars, shopping centres and the beach. We stayed in the bedroom for 5 people and to be fair it was quite small for 5. Our air conditioning also wasn’t working. Rooms were cleaned daily and new towels were given daily. The cleaning ladies were super ! All the waiters and barmen/women were so lovely, always cracking a joke and making sure everything is okay for you. However I didn’t like Mr. Muzzaffer’s attitude: we asked him if we can book the a la carte restaurant as part of our 1 week stay and he said there is no room and we went down anyways to see and the restaurant was 95% empty :/ not a good luck for the hotel as the restaurant is part of what we paid for. Breakfast, lunch and dinner and lovely always a bit of variation. The pizza in the pool bar was amazing - best pizza ever. We also made us of the spa during our stay the indoor pool and sauna was great. We tried Hamam with the massage and it was a very good experience for a very good price however after the massage we were constantly being asked and asked if we want more for more money which was quite annoying. The animation team could be a bit better. I understand that the hotel has mostly German visitors but dance nights etc. Should be inclusive for everyone. But after we said that more inclusive music is needed they provided it and it was an amazing night for all - nearly everyone was up and dancing. Overall we had a great stay :)

Okay

- pillows uncomfortable,  impolite staff, room service is very slow (have to ring at least twice to the reception), food is not upto 5* hotel standards, no iron (only paid services for clothing), the hotel overall requires a "refresh" as curtains in rooms are constantly falling, air conditioner breaks, once hot water stopped running for about an hour
+ swimming pools are good, there's a children's playground area in the tree shades,not in the sun, shuttle to the beach

Just "Ok" hotel for its price

We had a great holiday. I travelled with my two daughters during the Easter holidays. The hotel is in Side, next to shops, beauty and tattoo businesses. The location is very, good, a great drive from the airport and next to the beach. Obviously the weather was very pleasant in April and much needed after the constant poor weather of England. Location for trips and sight-seeing is perfect, although we stayed by the pool this time. If you want wild nightlife, this is catered for by the animation team, with nearby tours to nightclubs and event halls. This is not really to a 5 * standard, nearer a 4*, but it is also very nice and there are no reasons to complain. We travelled out of season, and the amphitheatre was closed, but the animation team worked hard and all staff were pleasant and hard-working. A massive shout out to the ladies making freshTurkish pitta, this was AMAZING! Rooms were immaculate, with excellent cleaning, and there was plenty of water in our room every day. The pool area was fantastic, the children loved the slides and even in April the pool was a good temperature.   I recommend the Spa, I went three times and at the end of the week, my locked shoulder was recovered.  Deanne was fantastic! The food here was typically All inclusive, but the range of choice was great! We loved the food, and Turkish night was a lovely spectacle. Drinks are ok, cocktails weren't to my liking, but again, there is something for everyone. Beer is great! It was my first time to Side and I will definitely be going back. Be aware, we were the only British speaking people, and the staff spoke German. German tourists were so friendly and welcoming and we tried our best to communicate regardless of the language barrier. Sometimes this was hilarious and I entered up with a pint of rum! We had an issue with the shower (the screen broke) and my daughter received small cuts from the glass shattering. However, the hotel quickly repaired the glass and TUI sent a representative to look after us. To all at Calimera Hane Garden, thank you for a great introduction to the area and for beginning my love affair with Turkey! Highly recommended.

Great Family Holiday!

Ich war mit meiner Tochter und Enkel (3) das erste Mal im Calimera Hane Garden.
Leider können meine Tochter und ich die Lobeshymnen nicht teilen. 
Die Sterne geben nicht den Eindruck wider, deshalb eine ausführliche Schilderung.
Unsere Ankunft war 21:30 Uhr. Zur Begrüßung gab es vorbereitete Teller in Frischaltefolie und vertrocknete Brotscheiben vom Abendbrot.
Bei einer kleinen Ecke zur Selbstbedienung hätten wir unser Abendessen selbst gestalten können. 
Wir hatten ein Familienzimmer (1x Doppelbett, 2. Zimmer 1 Doppelstock- und ein Einzelbett) im Gebäude 4 , also dem Gebäudekomplex über die Straße. Das Bad (große, barrierefreie Dusche) war vor "kurzem" rekonstruiert worden.
Die Zimmerfrau war sehr freundlich,  aber so richtig sauber hat sie nicht gemacht (Flecke auf dem Nachttisch, Toilettenpapierhalter Flecke auf der Abdeckung, Wollmäuse unterm Doppelbett mit einer Fusshöhe von 20cm - alles vom Vorgängergast). 
Die Außenanlagen fanden wir gut, auch was die Spielplätze für den Enkel betraf.
Da die Hotelanlage durch eine Straße geteilt ist hatten wir das Problem, egal ob über die Straße oder die Brücke, man wurde bei Regen immer nass. Viele Hotels leihen Schirme mit Hotellogo aus, was wir uns sehr gewünscht hätten. Bitte jetzt keine Kommentare mit Schirm kaufen um zum Essen zu gehen!!!!
Der Speisesaal und die Räumlichkeit für die Abendveranstaltungen in der kühlen Saison strahlen das Flair einer Kantine oder Mensa aus. Im Hotel sind oft Sportlergruppen, dafür reicht es offensichtlich.
Das Essenangebot war gut, aber nicht gerade abwechslungsreich. Am türkischen Abend waren ein paar Papierfähnchen auf dem Kuchen ......
Das Animationsteam war in Ordnung und ein großes Lob an den Kidsclub, auch weil deutsch gesprochen wurde. Die Damen waren kreativ und die Kinder begeistert.
Das Schwimmbad hatte eine Lufttemperatur von 30 Grad und das Wasser gefühlt höchstens 23 Grad, was mehrere Gäste monierten, also kalt. Der Bademeister hat dann mit "Luftfühler" ca 20cm über!!!! der Wasseroberfläche 28 Grad Wassertemperatur gemessen und war sehr zufrieden. Eine andere Messmethode hatte er nicht. 
Das Personal war freundlich, die Lage zum Strand gut und wer die 300m nicht laufen wollte/konnte nahm den Shuttlebus. Liegen war keinen Tag ein Problem (Nebensaison).
Preis/Leistung mag stimmen.

Hotel für Sportlergruppen

•Hotel für den Preis IN ORDNUNG
•Sauberkeit im Zimmer gut soweit
•Service am Pool/Restaurant KAUM
 vorhanden. Zu 90% mussten wir in 8 Tagen alles selbst holen. Wir hörten dann auch bei Zeiten auf Trinkgeld zu geben. Auch als wir in die TIP-Boxen Geld warfen gab es kein Danke,daher damit aufgehört.
Kennen wir ganz anders. 

Allerdings waren die Reinigungsfeen dankbar über Trinkgeld, denen haben wir bis zum
Schluss Geld gegeben! 

•Freundlichkeit im Großen und Ganzen ok und ausbaufähig wir sind wirklich liebe Menschen !  Hätte mir weniger gelangweilte Gesichter gewünscht.
•Poolliegensituation sehr schwierig (man muss morgens los laufen und reservieren ! )
•Essen überwiegend das Gleiche , schmeckt aber gut soweit. 
•Lage des Hotels optimal. 
•Auto ausleihen empfohlen,unkompliziert.
•Land of Legends Besuch auch toll. Aber morgens um 10 da sein, sonst schafft man nicht alles .
•Strand schön , ausreichend Liegen bis 11 Uhr zu finden. Tolles Wasser 

Geschmackssache : Lautstärke am Pool ! Grauenhaft meiner Meinung nach.

Strandbar:
• Kellner bemüht und nett aber unterbesetzt. DADURCH kaum Service möglich ! 
•Essen dort wie überall … in Ordnung. 
•WLAN am Strand so lala. 

Basare wie mans kennt….und einige Leute vielleicht auch so lieben….es ist schmutzig , man wird übers Ohr gehauen und von allen Seiten angequatscht. Hier auch größtenteils SEHR UNFREUNDLICH ! Schrecklich 

Fazit: für den Preis von 3800 Euro für
4 Mann ist es okay und Kinder waren auch happy aber wir nehmen nächstes mal wieder mehr Geld in die Hand und kommen nicht wieder.
