The setting balances a peaceful, resort-style atmosphere with easy access to local life – you’re a short stroll from shops and restaurants, and just 600m from the hotel’s own stretch of private beach.

Side itself is one of Turkey’s most characterful seaside towns, famed for its long sandy beaches and well-preserved ancient ruins. Spend days between the pools and beach, then head into town to wander the old harbour, browse leather and jewellery shops, or catch sunset by the Temple of Apollo.

• 400m to nearest shops and restaurants
• 600m to the hotel’s private beach (complimentary shuttle)
• 10km to Side resort centre and harbour

All Inclusive at Can Garden Resort is designed to keep everyone happily fed from morning until late evening.

The main Pinus Restaurant is a buffet venue serving breakfast, lunch and dinner with a mix of Turkish specialities and international favourites. Expect live cooking stations, salads, grilled meats, and a dedicated kids’ buffet plus highchairs for younger guests. Beachwear is discouraged inside, keeping things relaxed but smart.

In the evening, mix it up with two à la carte restaurants (one visit per week included with reservation, subject to availability):

• Anatolia Restaurant – adults-only Turkish à la carte with regional dishes, open seasonally between mid-May and mid-October. Gentlemen are asked to wear long trousers.
• Yacht Restaurant – adults-only poolside à la carte showcasing local cuisine, also seasonal with a smart dress code.

For drinks and snacks, you’re well covered:

• Beach Bar – casual bites and drinks by the sea.
• Bistro Bar – snack bar by the pool for daytime nibbles.
• Marina Bar – main pool bar open from morning into late evening.
• Lobby Bars – daytime and evening lounge-style bars for coffee or a pre-dinner drink.

All Inclusive typically includes local wine, beer, spirits, selected cocktails, hot drinks and soft drinks from 10:00 until midnight, plus snacks for at least three hours between meals and a minibar restocked every three days. Offers can vary by season; always confirm on arrival. What All Inclusive typically includes.

Water babies are spoilt for choice at Can Garden Resort.

Outside you’ll find:

• 3 outdoor freshwater pools including a main activity pool with slides, a quieter pool with children’s section, and a separate kids’ pool ideal for little paddlers.
• Spacious sun terraces with plenty of sunbeds and parasols.
• Baby-changing facilities by the pools and a relaxed policy on inflatables.

Indoors, there are:

• 2 heated freshwater pools, including a children’s pool, generally open in shoulder seasons (spring and late autumn) with specific dates dependent on occupancy.

Down at the coast, the hotel’s private beach (around 600m away) offers loungers, parasols and a beach bar, all accessed via a free shuttle. It’s an easy option for mixing pool days with time on the sand without worrying about logistics or extra costs for sunbeds.

When it’s time to slow the pace, head for the spa, which features a traditional Turkish bath, sauna and a menu of massage and beauty treatments for guests aged 18+ (charges apply). It’s a lovely contrast to the buzz of the pools.

Those who like to keep active on holiday can use the air-conditioned gym, equipped with cardio machines, a free weights area and strength equipment, generally open from morning until early evening. Lighter activities such as darts and table tennis provide easy fun between swims.
