Linda Resort Hotel

Side is only a 10-minute drive away, and I’d recommend seeing the sights there, especially in the evening when it has a charming feel. The beach is about a 10-minute walk, or there’s a regular hotel shuttle. The sea was very clean, though a little wavy. Food, rooms, and cleanliness were all 10/10. The Linda Resort is peaceful and seems especially suited to families. At first, as a young solo traveler, I found it a bit unusual that most guests were families. Meeting the animation team changed things for me, though. Their enthusiasm and passion made my stay really enjoyable. A big thank you to them.

The resort was big, impressive, and very family-friendly. We stayed all-inclusive for five days, and everything was on point. My son and I felt welcome as soon as we arrived, and the hotel reps were there daily to greet us. Fahmi Osman deserves a big thank you. He was helpful, guided us toward the daily activities, and was really well organized. He and the welcoming team made the stay great. I’d highly recommend linda resort for its friendly hospitality. 10/10.

The food felt recycled, and the bathrooms were awful for me. You also have to pay for internet, fresh fruit juice, and the in-room safe. I’ve stayed at many hotels in Turkey, especially in Side, and this one came last for me. The hotel shop was the worst part. The woman there seemed greedy and dishonest, and charged different prices for the same product on different days. I’d avoid it and shop at the market across from the hotel. Bar and restaurant staff weren’t very polite either, and acted as if they were there under duress. I know I won’t come back. There are hotels in Side I’m happy to return to, but this isn’t one of them.

I was nervous after reading the comments, but we ended up having an amazing week. The food was delicious, and there was ice cream and cake too. Room service cleaned our room every day. The animation team kept us busy with football, darts, volleyball, aqua aerobics, and more. There was no time to get bored. You’re amazing.
