Dosi Hotel - All Inclusive

Staff are great, other than the night porter dead miserable. Food is ok but don’t expect any red meat, all cheap cuts of chicken ( chicken butterfly? Never heard or saw it before) always running out of meat. The drinks are crap only 3 alcohol drinks available, beer, vodka and gin or and raki and the bar area is dingy and dark there is a beach bar of sorts it’s shared with other hotels/ bars but have to pay for drinks and food. Rooms are cleaned everyday but the towels are threadbare. Safe costs 16 € for 9 days and only enough room for passports and money no room for pads or phones. Entertainment is well basic to say the least. Would not return but you get what you pay for I suppose £1000 for 10 days.

This is NOT a 4 star hotell, rather between 2 and 3 stars. The rooms/the inside are really bad and desperately needs updating. Remember to bring earplugs, because you will hear everything from the neighbours. Especially on the bathroom... The inside condition is probably why you only see lots of outside pictures.... In fairness, the outside area and pools are decent. The "all inclusive" includes only 3 different drinks, one beer brand and sodas. No ice-cream... The buffet food is at its best only ok. Desserts are terrible. The staff are mainly kind and service-oriented. I would never recommend this hotel to my friends.

This is worth the read, i have contacted the hotel multiple times and received no response so decided that they have had long enough to give me a response having being 5 months ago. visited the spa on my last day of my few days i spent staying at dosi hotel. Having heard a-lot about hammam I was excited to try it. I (female) visited with my 2 male friends and the trea**ent started off with being scrubbed and washed on the hot stone. I was then taken into a room and asked to remove my bikini bearing in mind the door was wide open and my 2 friends are across the hallway and can see in. I pointed at door to be shut since the woman’s English was not so good but this only led to it being closed about 5cm. I quickly removed my bikini and got onto the bed assuming thats just how massage is done here. I did my research on this before booking and understand that males and females are normally separated even when in a relationship, so i find it odd why we weren’t. The massage started off extremely rough, i get regular massages in the UK including extreme deep tissue trea**ents aimed at people who regularly weight lift, so i can genuinely say that it was rough. I was tensed up and not enjoying it all and told the masseuse that it was sore and she repeated what i said and continued with the same pressure. Fire cupping was then used on my back which i was never told about and did not give my consent for, in my opinion it is a dangerous method that i would almost never consider appropriate for an average masseuse (was also done with one of the drinking glasses from the bar and some type of baby oil which i would assume is flammable) Another method which was used was some form of Chiropractics which I consider to be extremely dangerous unless performed by someone with a medical degree, I had to tense up to ensure nothing was damaged, being someone who power-lifts any damage to my back can limit me for a long time. She then moved onto my legs which i never enjoy normally in a massage as my legs are very ticklish, her hands were moving right onto my bikini area and i moved my hands in the way as i was not comfortable with this level, my attempt to block her hands was ignored. Although this may be normal to massage that intimately, boundaries should be respected regardless of what is “normal” in turkey. I was then asked to turn over, the door was wide open so i was weary about turning due to my friends who i have no intention of letting them see me naked were across the hallway, the towel was pulled off me so i turned over and it was not placed over me to protect my modesty but instead placed on my legs. She then massaged my chest which i am not comfortable with since i have multiple piercings that were caught during the process. She then sat me up and didn’t let me hold the towel up to protect myself even though again the door was wide open. Medicated cream was then used on my back which should be totally unnecessary after a massage.I really think this needs to

This could be a really great hotel, but there were too many inconsistencies depending on who you were. - check in and support for wifi connection - loads for my teenage daughter, non for us. - cleanliness of rooms - some rooms were great, some needed a good clean - food - some nights a good selection, some nights really boring and repetitive - entertainment- the gymnastic group were superb, the Michael Jackson dance troop- terrible - room standards - I know some were being upgraded when we were there, but my daughter got a brand new room with great aircon, and we were in an old miserable room with terrible aircon The pool area was great and very clean, and we never had an issue getting sunbeds, and didn’t have to get up early to get them. Service - hit and miss. We didn’t particularly find the staff very friendly, except for when they tried to sell ilia ‘Turkey teeth’. The spa - doesn’t look particularly great, but the trea**ents were excellent and I would recommend going there. The beach - don’t bother - it is not the beautiful sea and sand shown in photos of Turkey - we stayed 10 minutes and then left. Location - great for shops and other bars/restaurants. The biggest annoyance for us was the extra charges - we knew about the €5 for a cocktail in advance, but not having to pay for fresh orange juice in the mornings for example. I would rather have paid an extra charge for a week and for everything to then be free, otherwise what is the point of it being all inclusive? We did enjoy our stay all in all (mainly because of the pool) but we wouldn’t be returning to the Dosi.

This hotel is clean and spacious if a little dated The food is fresh and well presented but aimed at their (mainly) German guests Waiting staff, services, notices, entertainment, everything is geared towards German clients..... It gets very wearing after the first couple of days There is a shuttle bus to the beach and back which is nessessary because it's too far to walk. The beach is gorgeous Side itself is lovely but the kumkoy area is set up for Germans and Scandinavians. I strongly suspect that prices went up in shops we visited when staff realised we were not german, not sure why that would be. I would go back to Side but not this part of town. German and Scandinavian visitors would find this hotel excellent value for money but I wouldn't go back

Not s friendly as some of the hotels I've stayed at in Turkey but still a pleasant stay. Lights in our room never worked properly and the shower didn't reach the hook up, few other gripes but nothing major. Reception area and pool areas were lovely and they were clean. Apart from breakfast the food was amazing,was so stuffed all holiday. Few kitties about which I loved to be honest, they were very friendly. Would I stay again, yes we had a lovely time.

We arrived at the hotel during the day all seemed OK hotel reception staff we didn't think were that keen when we said we were English, Room clean it was scummy under the soap dispenser in the bath and on the floor in front of the bath and toilet wasn't cleaned after we arrived and we stayed for 10 days only one bed was changed once my sons wasn't changed at all bathroom floor wasn't swept behind door. Alcoholic drinks are awful so we ended up going out most nights, food was fine but very repetitive no free ice cream apart from Turkish night on Wednesday and Saturday you only get 1 bottle of water for the room but water is available from machines downstairs most of the visitors were german this didn't bother us but the Germans are favoured here in the shops here they say barter as soon as you say your English they put the price up we visited the green gorge very rude driver on bus complaining about the English being last to get back on the bus would we go to Turkey again definitely not

The entire hotel was exceptionally clean with staff cleaning constantly in all public areas. The shuttle bus to the hotel’ s private beach provided a good and most entertaining experience. The food was inclined to be a bit repetitive although well cooked and presented. The staff were all very friendly and polite, although very little English was spoken. The room was fine but rather outdated. The two swimming pools were lovely and again immaculately maintained.

Well, my stay comes to an end tomorrow. I've been here 10 days, and I was very apprehensive. I really enjoyed myself. Staff are amazing and work so hard to make your stay special. Night entertainment is okay but could be on earlier, usually around 2230 hours. Basic drinks, no peach snapps or maibu unless you pay extra. Cocktails 5 euros, cheaper than cocktails off the hotel. Done a few trips would defo recommend the Jeep Safari. great laugh, and you get to see the countryside. I booked my trips off the hotel. it's cheaper. There's plenty of shops, and if you want to watch live football there's a couple of bars about 7 minutes walk from the hotel. Lots of Dutch and Germans in the hotel. It's mostly euro around the area, so I wouldn't bother with lira. I will come back, but probably a different hotel may be 5 stars. But all in all, Dosi staff are amazing are a credit
