The Hotel Turquoise sits snugly between pine trees and a long private stretch of beach giving it a real secluded feel. A jetty reaches out into the Mediterranean Sea with steps that lead down to the warm waters. Completing the scene is a water sports centre with everything from windsurfing to paragliding. One of the best things about this hotel is the dining. The main restaurant serves all meals buffet style with a plethora of local and international cuisine along with different themed evenings. Or you can take your pick from one of the à la carte restaurants which specialise in Chinese, Italian, Turkish and seafood. And don't miss an afternoon snack of gozleme - Turkish savoury pastries, served up in a traditional Arabic tent.
As for the bedrooms, expect smart, cosy and modern spaces. They've been simply designed without pinching on style. The walls and floors are decorated in shades of cream, while big beds and plump armchairs up the comfort factor. Additional touches come in the form of satellite TVs, mini bars, hairdryers and air conditioning. Outside you'll find a number of swimming pools dotted throughout the grounds, the main one is a huge curvy set up, with a wavy slide and two twisting chutes. While sun terraces sprawl across the gardens and come with clusters of loungers and parasols. For something a little quieter, there's an adults only pool, hidden away from the action. There is a fitness centre if you're looking to keep trim on your holidays and after your workout head to the Spa for a massage, aromatherapy or facial. The resort of Side is a ten minute taxi ride away from the hotel and a bus stop is located just outside the hotel, so you can get it into town for only a couple of euros.
