This hotel was clean, new and fresh. Always new and clean towels. BUT the reception staff were not service-minded at all. In addition, not many spoke English. We preferred the beach bar!

We stayed at the Merve Sun last year as after being to other Turkish resorts, fancied seeing some of the architecture in Side. I agree with the people who have been recently that the area is not the best for British holiday makers. Side itself is lovely with a very nice beach and some good restaurants! but we had to... More

Have spent many happy times in Turkey at different locations my advice is if you are English do not consider staying in the Kumkoy area, which is were this hotel is, as it caters mainly for Germans. The Hotel is horrible the staff are not helpful especially some on the desk and the Thomas Cook rep is even less helpful... More

Just arrived back from my second trip to Side, Turkey in the last 3 months. The apartment I stayed in last time was not available, so using easyJet holidays I booked the Merve Sun which was a good price. I was shocked and worried when we arrived at 11pm, there was a noisy, flashing light, smoke filled disco in full... More

Now you might be thinking from the title i am about to go off on a long rant moan about the apartment mervesun far from it. The room was basic but it was cleaned every day, in a quit location overlooking the back garden on the ground floor just what we asked for. I can’t praise the cleaning staff enough... More

We were aware we had to pay extra for the air conditioning does make a real... More

We arrived at the Merve Sun hotel at 3am. We then got our key were taken to our room. The next day we spent most of our time in the shade next to the pool. It was lovely and not too crowded. The restaurants food was okay (not cheap) and they added charges on your bills. For example they added... More

We booked this last minute and were not expecting a great deal so were really presently surprised. The hotel room was basic but very clean and the maids worked very hard - even decorating our bed with flowers one day! As other reviewers have commented, the pools are quite small and a bit chilly at times, but that was very... More
