We rested in Jacaranda at the end of June - beginning of July 2017, it was our 3rd vacation in Turkey and so far the best.
The only disappointment is the work of TUI guides in the hotel and on excursions (but this is not a hotel problem) and Wi-Fi.

Hotel and territory:
The hotel is unrealistically beautiful, the hall and the chandelier are just a feast for the eyes! Just look at the photos.
The hotel is conveniently located, we are the first to arrive at the hotel, the last to be picked up from the hotel. The nearest shop in Side is 15 minutes (if you leave the hotel and go to the right).
The territory of the hotel is large and beautiful, everything is well-groomed, trimmed. Not perfect, but at a good level.
Wi-Fi - poor, somehow works in the lobby, sometimes in the rest of the territory. At the end of the holiday, posting a video on Instagram was a half-day affair. On the other hand, we went to rest in the first place, and not to sit on the Internet.

Sea and pools:

The pools are excellent, mostly interconnected, there are children's, indoor, pools near with ladders from the rooms on the 1st floor.
In the morning we found sunbeds without any problems, if you go out after 12-00, you had to go and look.
I liked the sea very much, clean and beautiful. The beach is large - sandy, there are showers, changing rooms, a bar nearby. The beach is not perfect like everywhere else, when entering the sea came across small stones.
Before the trip, I met bad reviews about the steps to the sea, I can assure you that going up and down is not difficult, in addition, there is a detour without steps.

Room and cleaning:
We lived in a standard room, it had 2 large beds + sofa, TV, hair dryer, safe, balcony, etc. There were no bathrobes and slippers, there was a lack of iron, I had to pay $ 2-3 for ironing (iron at the reception do not give).
Overall a big, nice room with everything you need.
I didn’t like cleaning, somehow a blunder, without swans and other figurines from towels. In addition to cleaning, you must put water in the refrigerator, if you don’t leave a tip, they can forget about water (although it may have been 2 accidents).
Animation with sports activities:
The animation is unobtrusive, no one pulls anyone and does not persuade anyone to participate somewhere. The shows in the amphitheater are boring, the animators, of course, are trying, but it is clear that they are not prof. artists.
Shows or live music on stage with guest artists near the bar, I really liked it.
Sports activities are definitely an advantage of this hotel. We went mountain biking - hard but great, tennis - novelty group workout, aqua-cycling in the pool - weird but repetitive, archery - great, boxing - more like an intense workout.
We also worked out in the gym - there is everything you need, water, a towel (but there is no locker room, go straight in the form).

In general, this hotel is by far the best we have seen in Turkey and Egypt!
