Riolavitas Resort & Spa

There are no words. It was the first vacation in 10 years. The pastries are delicious, the cooks cook well. Maria is nice at the reception, the cleaning people are also good. That's all the pluses. What was written earlier turned out to be true! There is no soundproofing, music blares until midnight, water shortages (I scalded myself with boiling water and was left in soap). The plates are dirty, it is better not to take a cocktail by the pool or let them make it completely from scratch. Gym.......(((

The hotel looks nice with its modern design, but unfortunately the food is very repetitive, with limited variety and few options to choose from. After a while, everything starts to taste the same. The drinks are of very poor quality, and even though water is stored in fridges, it’s still warm. The ice cream is also low quality, and although we’re on an ultra all-inclusive package and it’s supposed to be available from 12:00 to 16:00, in reality it’s only served between 14:00 and 16:00. Overall, the food and drinks are disappointing and far below expectations. Two years ago, we stayed in Side as well, but at a different hotel, and we were very satisfied with that experience. Unfortunately, this hotel did not live up to the same standard and left us disappointed.

Stayed here. The service is great staff really friendly BUT don’t be fooled by the pictures you see. This hotel is not 5 star it’s 3 very tiny. The activities were all for kids so they had fun. The food was horror but then again it’s all inclusive. Can’t stress enough how good the staff were. But just the whole place made me feel I’ve been conned. The indoor pool and jacuzzi was nice.

Had a great week and enjoyed staying at this hotel. The hotel is located in remote area and the private beach is less than 10 min walk. I arrived at the hotel to check in late at 4am and they did offer to take me to the restaurant to get something to eat but I was too tired and just gone straight to room. The room was large, modern and clean. The towels were changed daily. The food was good with lots of variety. I'm quite a fusy eater but I was always able to find something to dailyeat. In the first part of my stay the most sunbeds at the pool were reserved early in the morning. It changed in the last few days when there were a lot more empty sunbeds through the day. The drinks were good made with branded alcohol. The pool bar could get busy at times but the staff worked their best to serve you quickly so I never had to wait too long. The downsides were: - smoke from the grills near the pools - didn't bother me much but I could hear the music and entertainment from the other hotel in my room at evenings Overall, I enjoyed the hotel and would recommend it

I stayed at RioLavitas Hotel and overall had a pleasant experience, but it's definitely not a true 5-star hotel. The food was tasty, especially the desserts. There was always a good variety of fruits and vegetables. The staff were kind, friendly, and always ready to help. The swimming pools were clean and the water was warm enough for comfortable swimming. Rooms are spacious and comfortable, which I really appreciated. There is a free shuttle bus from the hotel to the beach until 18:00, which is very convenient. The beach is sandy, with small stones at the entrance to the sea. The sea gets deep quickly, so it's something to keep in mind, especially if you're traveling with children. Another great thing is the bus stop located right in front of the hotel. You can easily take a minibus to Side Old Town or Manavgat for around 1 euro. The buses run frequently and until midnight, which makes getting around very convenient. However, the hotel needs improvement in hygiene, especially in the public toilets, and some areas would benefit from renovation. Kids corner was not working during our stay. It was disapointing. One thing that really disappointed me was the extra daily charge (2 euros) to use the safety box in the room - it was the first time I experienced this in a hotel. In general, it's a nice place with good potential, but a few improvements could make the experience even better.
