Sural Garden

The food was plentiful and the amenities were high standard. My friend and I stayed at Süral Garden Otel in the last week of September this year and had an incredible time with the staff. They were exceptionally friendly, helpful, and fun, and Osman made our trip truly special. Sending warm greetings from Canada 🇨🇦, and thank you! I really recommend Süral Garden Otel to anyone wanting to experience the beauty of Turkey.

Don't let the three stars put you off. This hotel is much better than many five-star places nearby, and I hope anyone who chooses it has a pleasant stay. It's in a quiet part of Side-Çolakli, about a five-minute walk from a lovely, wide, well-kept sandy beach. There's a main building with reception and rooms, plus several buildings with rooms only. The shared area has a pool, and next to the main pool there's a smaller one with slides for children. Rooms are cleaned daily, kept in good condition, and have what you need: air conditioning, TV, coffee and tea set, safe for a fee, and hairdryer. Breakfast and dinner are served in the main building restaurant. Lunch is at the beach restaurant, with a beautiful sea view. There's lots of good quality food, including Turkish and European dishes, so everyone should find something they like.

The rooms are old, as this is one of the oldest hotels in the region. Still, for a three-star hotel, the beach, food, and drinks are very good, and the price-to-value ratio is great.

We paid around 485 € per person for 7 nights, including all-inclusive and transfer, and the value was amazing. My parents and I were here for the last week of September 2024. We've travelled together for more than 30 years, and this was our best value-for-money holiday ever. The beach is nice and sandy, with free sunbeds. It's about a 10-minute walk through a nice park. We chose a family room for three, a duplex with a balcony and a view of the sea and city, and everything was nice. The pool area was clean and well maintained, though the water was cold. There was also a restaurant and beach bar, and it was lovely to have lunch with a sea or sunset view. The park between the bar and sea was green and clean. There were wellness facilities too, though we didn't try them. The all-inclusive food was like heaven. Breakfast, lunch, and dinner had a huge range of fresh, mostly local dishes, with something for everyone's taste. Almost everything was still being refilled even 10 minutes before closing, so there was no need to rush or miss a meal. Chefs prepared fresh eggs, fish, and meat right in front of you. Beyond the three main meals, there was late breakfast, afternoon gözleme snacks, and midnight soups. Local alcoholic drinks like beer, wine, and cocktails, along with water, juices, tea, coffee, and other non-alcoholic drinks, were included. You could get them at the hotel restaurant, hotel bar, pool bar, or beach bar. That's rare for a budget-friendly hotel in Side/Alanya. The drinks were fine quality, though the cocktails were cheaper versions rather than the originals. At this price, it was still perfect. There was a different evening show each night, with dancers and musicians, and most were entertaining. Cleanliness was perfect, and staff were helpful, kind, and polite. The one drawback was Wi-Fi, which was unstable in our room and sometimes slow elsewhere in the hotel. I wouldn't recommend it for a long business stay, but it's perfect for a holiday. I'm convinced this is one of the best value-for-money hotels in Turkey, if not the world. In more than 30 years travelling from Portugal to Poland and Egypt, we haven't found a better one.
