Another great holiday here

Reviewed Oct 25, 2022
Well what can I say, all the great reviews about the hotel are true. This was our 3rd visit to this wonderful hotel and we can't wait to come back. From moment you walk in your treated like a king, the check in process nice amd simple, food service was on when we arrived so they told us to leave our bags and make our way to get food. When I came back they helped carry my bags to the room.

The food has something on offer for everyone at anytime even the fussy eaters like me, the grill is always a must at anytime and the Al le carte service is top notch also. There's also the burgers bar where it varys from day to day but grilled chicken and chicken kebab can be found there also

The rooms are clean and spacious even for a family of 4, towels changed and rooms cleaned daily and what a wonderful job they do, the room is spotless.
The bar is well stocked and again caters to all, this is where you also get your Ice cream from. The bar staff are always willing to help, from the wonderful ilya to Muhammed and the rest of the staff there who always go above and beyond to help you. If you want drinks not on menu such a imported spirits or cider this will be charged to your room as they don't accept cash at the bar, but there is still plenty for everyone there. Bob need to be manager of the entertainment what a lovely young man he is, cant do enough for you, always trying to engage everyone and get them involved in the activities. The lady in the kids club aswel was great with the youngest member of the family from face painting to fun activities.

There's are 2 pool areas one in main complex has a kids pool with little slide init, couldn't keep the youngest out of there. There is a second pool and the water slides that are located next to the burger bar, well worth a visit. Also a nice little play park for the kids also.

Also there's a mini Market at the hotel aswel as a few bigger supermarkets near by such as the migros jet which is the Turkish lidl, always a bargain in their. Also abdulu on the photography was fantastic, we won a free photo from the bingo but we ended up buying more as he got some absolutely cracking shots of the kids. Also if you fancy a change for something to eat, have a drink or to watch sport I can't recommend safran highly enough, yusef who owns the place is a superb chef, does a mean fry up and there's always a warm welcome guaranteed for anyone, his wife anette is the host when you walk in and they truly are an amazing place if you fancy a change. Even do sisha and the daiquiris are something else.

And last but not least to the wonderful zafer, osman and serkan, from first time we walked into hotel a few years ago, they have been nothing but kind, beautiful people who can't do enough for you. They have made the place feel like a second home to us. They never pass always stop for a chat, my kids even run up to them for a hug they are such genuine lovely kind people who really make the hotel what it is along with all the other wonderful staff and if you have any problems then they will always go above and beyond to help. Thank you again for everything can't wait to come back already.

We arrived in the early evening and the Reception staff were concerned if we needed to eat, and the fact that the restaurant was still available for us to use., We were quite surprised by the selection of meals available together with an outdoor barbecue. The Executive Chef was walking around all the time we were dining making sure everything was operating professionally. It became apparent during the week that the excellent food wasn't just a one off, it was excellent throughout our stay, We had a drink later that evening the draft beer was Effes and was a very good lager. Also the spirits were of a good quality. As we discovered during the week also included within the A.L. price was Irish Whiskey, Baileys coffee, also some home made cocktails were also included.
Our room consisted of a small lounge with flat screen TV.a kitchen, Bathroom with 2 showers and good size bedroom. All in good repair. The whole of the staff were very good they would come over to you having a chat we also got waiter service, which isn't always included in A.L. stays. All in all we had a wonderful stay and especially for families is highly recommended.
Out and about a short walk away you could visit the Roman ruins followed by a small town centre full of shops and bars, which was worth the visit.
Enjoyed our stay would definitely go back if we get the chance.
Thanks to ALL the staff who made our stay so enjoyable.

Room tip: Low room for anyone with a walking issue.

I was very pleased with the friendliness and helpfulness of the staff and cleanliness. All round it was a good experience but not a great one. One of the main things about an all inclusive hotel is the entertained. This is where the hotel is lacking. Apart from rifle shooting and darts,that was about the limit for daytime activities. The evening entertainment was a bit boring and repetitive.
Sort out the entertained and it could be a great place to stay

We stayed at Side Resort-hotel for a week with my family (2 adults, 3 little kids). Everything went smoothly and the hotel with its wonderful staff was excellent. Our room was very spacious and in excellent condition. Everything was well organised and the whole hotel area was very well taken care of. The food was exceptional and more choices than one person could try in a single week. Pools were heated and of course the slides were very popular. I will give this hotel 10/10, the staff 10/10, the food 10/10 and location 10/10 (very close to the old town and beach)

We’ll where can we start, we arrived 8pm and the reception was waiting for us, friendly and very prompt checking us in, we then had our cases stored while reception walked us straight into the dinner hall this was incase we were hungry after our flights - top class

Next we were greeted by an amazing person Mehmet the dinner hall manager, what a guy who’s opening line was welcome to paradise and he wasn’t wrong,

We were then shown around the dinner hall and talked us through the process for the buffet style eating but had more of a feel like you dinning in a restaurant the food was amazing and the buffet name doesn’t do it justic, all the staff from start to finish were friendly welcoming and could t do enough for you u til we left, the entertainment kept everyone busy and the bar staff were just as good

The hotel was cleaned throughout and there was always a member of staff waiting to help you out

If there was a reward of recognition for one member of staff it would definitely be our new friend Mehmet because he was always making sure we were comfortable and didn’t need anything

Mehmet is a credit to Side Resort and we will be back to see him again next year

Our review is excellent and thank you to everyone connected to side resort we had a hall

We spent a week at the hotel from 7th - 14th October and loved every moment. The staff were friendly and always willing to help. Very clean hotel. The Spa was wonderful and the massage was super great!!! The entertainment was very good that covered all ages. There was ample food, you would not go hungry at this hotel as the snacks were freshly made and plentiful! We loved the donuts made on the spot!!!
The meals was plentiful, however was a bit repetitive. I would suggest to do themed meals ie: Chinese, Indian. In saying that the food was overall very good as there was a good variety. The desserts was plentiful and yummy but again repetitive.
Our rooms were cleaned daily and so were other areas of the hotel.
As for the drinks the bar staff could do with more cocktail making skills. Otherwise beers and wines were great!!
We will definitely recommend this hotel for the whole family

Room tip: Nice pool view
