Yes, there are a lot of german people staying in this hotel and that simply means that it is well run, clean, friendly and the food is fresh, plentiful and varied. The desserts - unbelievable! I cannot fault the staff - all of whom made an effort to speak to us in english - we were the only two brits... More

Completely agree with every comment in Jenna R's review. We would not normally choose a beach holiday but went here as my daughter is also a travel consultant, in Side for her second year. We were surprised at how much we enjoyed our stay and could not fault the hotel or staff. More

We stayed at the Acanthus at the beginning of August and found the hotel clean and waiting staff and cleaners very friendly but the reception staff spoke very little engish. The hotel was full of germans and russians and the hotel catered for the german guests will no english food available. Not good when you have fussy eater with you... More

People were very friendly and the meals were very relaxed with a good choice of... More

I just returned form a two week holiday in Side and stayed at the Acanthus. I am in mid thirties and went with my girlfriend. Firstly I must point out that this was a relatively cheap holiday so my expectations were not as high as they would have been ordinarily but all future visitors should know that this is simply...

Spent 2 weeks here in June.Bedrooms very small, balconies tiny and food of poor quality. Reception area is dated and full of artificial flowers. Air con is limited and on a timer and is switched of regardless of outside temperature. Had a few sleepless nights when temperatures soared and even complaints to the management fell on deaf ears.The private beach... More

I got back from a holiday in Hotel Acanthus last week. I am 24 years old, and I was with my 22 year old girlfriend, both from England. On arrival the lobby was really humid, and when we were shown to our room we were initially disappointed with its small size and view of only the neighbouring houses. We did... More
