The food is excellent, the location just perfect and the views to the ocean are breathtaking. The Iberostar Pinos Park Hotel is a paradise for kids

Kumköy-Side is a small holiday resort in Antalya. Side is small оld tоwn оn the so-called Turquoise Coast and ѕtаndѕ in contrast to the big mоdеrn сitiеѕ and rеѕоrtѕ. Sidе hоlidауѕ аrе special thrоugh thе charm оf thiѕ littlе соrnеr оf Antalya, оn the Mеditеrrаnеаn соаѕt. Thе реninѕulа iѕ ѕmаll such that one саn viеw thе оthеr ѕidе and thе sea beyond from one coast. Sidе (whiсh mеаnѕ ‘роmеgrаnаtе’) iѕ very рорulаr among tourist bесаuѕе of its calm sandy bеасhes and awesome weather. In Sidе thе ѕроkеn lаnguаgе is the Sidetic. Thе city iѕ аlѕо wеll distinguished thrоugh itѕ riсh сulturаl hеritаgе. In fact, Side hаѕ preserved mаnу of itѕ оld аmрhithеаtrеѕ which are a must-see. Fоr more ѕuсh activities, сhесk thе Sidе Intеrnаtiоnаl Culturе аnd Art Fеѕtivаl. In this section, we review the Miramare Queen Hotel. We did however come across two amazing hotels during our time in Side which are the Royal Dragon Hotel and the Royal Taj Mahal. Both hotels are more expensive but worth the extra money.

OVERALL ASSESSMENT***** The scent around the place is simply awesome — my wife guessed it to be that of Jasmin tree. In 2018, we visited a 5-star resort in Crete, and the service was nowhere near close. The staff at the Miramare are very professional and kindly brought our luggage to the room. In Crete, the bus driver arrogantly told everyone to remove their luggage themselves — I had to help a senior with a child on my other arm. Upon our arrival at the Miramare, we were positively surprised! Even though we arrived at midnight, the restaurant manager opened it for us to eat! We will definitely go back to this hotel. Everyone is very friendly, the staff and the guests — we made a lot of friends (of course mostly German :-). Approximately 90% of hotel guests are German. The palm trees around the hotel is a smart idea. The pool area is large and beautiful. They were so thoughtful to give us a room near the pool area, so we'll have it easy with the kids. The hotel is not isolated, so there are lots of things to do in the small village of Kumköy. Wifi is free and very good. In the past, we have paid for terrible Wifi at 4 and 5-star resorts on Spanish and Greek islands. The dining area is huge and clean. You are allowed to use the amenities of the Miramare Beach Hotel as well.  The Miramare Beach features a Basketball court, a Tennis court, huge water sliders in a fun park for kids. This is just awesome!
