The best Side hotels with a water park or water slides on site

Side is one of the most quiet Turkish resorts with a peaceful atmosphere, which is located 70 km from Alanya and 74 km from Antalya, which allows you to quickly and comfortably get to your hotel from the airport.

The resort area stretches for more than 20 km, in addition to Side, it includes small villages Manavgat, Kumkoy, Cholakly, Kyzylagach, Sorgun and Titreengel.

And although there are no children's entertainment and separate water parks in Side, the nearest water attraction parks are in Alanya, Belek and Antalya, local hotels offer many leisure options and services for children. Many of them can boast their own water park, and even more - they offer small slides and other water activities.

Cheap hotels with a water park in Side

Most of the good water parks in Side are located on the territory of 5 * category hotels, which do not differ at affordable prices. Treshki can offer guests only small water slides and entertainment for kids, while the service and territory will not allow children and adults to provide comprehensive leisure. The best option is 4 * hotel complexes: prices are slightly higher than three-prospecting ones, and large territories and well-developed infrastructure allow you to save on buying entertainment outside the hotel.

Gazipasa 3 *

The small hotel Gazipasa 3 * is located in Manavgat, one and a half kilometers from the beach: it is the remoteness from the coast that the guests of the complex consider to be its main drawback.

It has 2 slides: a spiral for extreme descent and a low straight line, which is suitable for children.

The price for a double room is from 5,000 rubles and more, depending on the season.

Armas Bella Sun 4 *

One of the most affordable 4 * hotels with their own water slides is Armas Bella Sun.

Corolla Hotel 4 *
