Nova Beach Hotel

When you think of Turkey, you often think of giant resorts, overcrowded swimming pools and the infamous 'towel fight' in the early morning. What a relief Nova Beach Hotel in Side is! We had a fantastic holiday here. If you like small scale, tranquility and genuine hospitality, then this is the absolute golden tip. You will stay in cozy, clean bungalows that are scattered on a beautiful, green garden. It's not an overly luxurious experience, but it's incredibly atmospheric, neat and cosy. The biggest plus is the personal contact. No lines at a massive buffet, but staff who know your name after a day. And how nice is this: you just get your own towel at the beach and in your bungalow the shampoo and shower gel is already ready. The food is delicious, fresh and varied, provided you like the authentic Turkish cuisine. The location is really perfect. The hotel is located directly on the sandy beach and the lively promenade. What makes this place truly unique is that you can walk straight into the historic center of Side. I travelled with my two children aged 8 and 10, and for us this was a pleasure; tasting atmosphere together in the old town, seeing the impressive temples and walking to the nearby museum. It is the ideal place for parents who want to give their children something of the culture and enjoy stand, tranquility and hospitality. We will definitely be back!

We have been in Nova Beach hotel from May 23 to June 2. There was quite a lot of criticism of this hotel. Well, to our surprise, quite the opposite. What a nice bungalows that have been quite refurbished. Enough to enjoy a nice holiday. Fantastic staff who do their best to make you feel as good as possible. The food was well cared for and varied and there was plenty of choice. In short, if you want something different and are looking for a small-scale hotel, this is highly recommended.

Absolutely disgusting. we arrived at 2am and were tired so didn't take a lot of notice of the place until the morning. when we got up several hours later we were horrified at what we found. the shower was full of black mould. i went straight to reception to be asked to be moved, they said all the showers were the same, we where told that we would be charged to move. i contacted my daughter in England to contact Love holiday. The Food was awful and cool. Behind the bar area the tiles were broken and swimming in beer that stunk, the soft drinks machine had no cover and was filthy. the outside dining area was also filthy. even though we had paid for all inclusive we had to eat out. When we booked there was a pool advertised which did not exist. the pool was at a sister hotel that we had to get a bus to. we were allowed to drink there but not eat. The beach was no better, the sun loungers were dirty and ripped. the sand was covered in cigarette butts from the days before. On the Monday we were told they would move us, we only had one day left so what was the point. this is the worst place i have ever been to. Turkey is beautiful and i will be back next year but STAY AWAY for this place
