We found all the staff extremely helpful and friendly. For example the receptionist was extremely helpful and organised a doctor for our child suffering from sunstroke. We found that learning a little Turkish went a long way and Mehmet helped us with the correct pronunciation. He speaks about 6 other languages so put us to shame. We stayed half board,... more

The hotel and staff was nice, but it has been open for 4 years and the maintenance is very lacking, half the lights that come on at nightfall dont come on, because the light bulbs have not been replaced, the tiles around the pool by the bar have subsided by about 3/4 of an inch , sugesting building problems, the... more

After all of the good reviews, me and my partner decided to go to the Hotel Aral. In many ways it is good, but there are just as many bad points in my opinion. It may be a good hotel by Turkish standards, but there are parts about the experience that I find very dodgy. I'll try to list the... more

My girlfriend and I booked a last minute deal via teletext for a weeks stay early sept. We read reviews prior to booking and were dubious about the accomodation. Upon arrvial you did have to pay extra for the safe(£10) and air con(£20), which was certainly needed. However the room itself was very spacious and very clean, although toilet paper... more

My Wife & I went to the Aral Hotel for our honeymoon. The hotel we couldn't fault as it was everything we wanted, quiet & relaxing. When we booked with thomas cook we told them it was for our honeymoon which was noted by the person booking it for us. On arrival we missed the welcome meeting due to arriving... more

We really enjoyed our week at this hotel. The staff were very friendly,rooms exceptionally clean and extra touches by the maids were delightful. Quiet at nights apart from the bellydancer that came once a week but we didnt mind as we were there to enjoy the sun which was hard to stick some days but the clean pool came in... more

There is a definite feel in Side that they are more accustomed to travellers from other European areas. Lots of Turkish people spoke German and we had 1 or 2 strange conversations with Turkish people, where we both were using pigeon German - very funny! So its a frequent occurrence that there are only 1 or 2 english speakers in... more

We stayed at the Aral by default as our accommodation was double booked by the Travel Agent. This turned out to be a pleasant experience as the hotel was clean and the staff very friendly. The rooms had a television and a hairdryer. The cleaning staff were only too happy to assist with clean towels and making up the room... more

So there we were quite happily ready for our holidays. Time off work was booked, but we didn't know where we fancied going. With time running out we had to choose somewhere. In a moment of panic, similar to that of John Prescott in a salad eating contest, we plucked for Side in Turkey. The flight times were totally antisocial,... more
