Calido Maris Hotel in Kizilot

Overall we had an amazing holiday. Our expectations were not very high due to the overall review here on TripAdvisor, however everything was beyond our expectations.
Food was amazing!!!! Fresh, good variety and delicious. They had fruits and amazing cakes available at all times, AND baklava all the time!!!! Absolutely loved it 🥰.

The room, and all comunal areas were very clean.
Stuff were amazing, all extremely friendly and although not everyone speaks English, they were trying to help the best they could! Very smiley and polite .

Pool area great, cleaned and in good condition. I also loved that the water was very warm! Also they are not closing the pool at fixed time, which is great, if you want to dive in at 6 am, or 7 pm, you are welcome! Also, absolutely loved to have the blue cushions on the sun beds, made a massive difference!
Although seems like lots of rooms and i was expecting to be crowded, it wasn’t ! There are many sitting areas, many pools + the beach and plenty of space for all.
The beach- plenty sitting areas, good bar and good by the beach. Sand was fine by the sun beds, but had stones as you were getting closer to the water. Beach and water was clean, and water very warm!

The hotel location is not central, so you will need bus/ taxi for all the trips. Depending on the flight time, and how many stops the coach has, you can ruin a day only to come to the hotel. It can be 2 hours, or it can be 5 hours unfortunately.

The only one thing I would change is the entertainment. They have a massive stage, and also live music on the terrace , however i didn’t hear any dancing music.
Indeed, it was traditional Turkish music ( loved it, but impossible to dance if you don’t know the specific group moves) , also live English music, but a bit sad songs, not an amazing vibe, definitely not something to have fun and dance.
I was impatiently waiting every evening for a bit of dance music ( trust me, I can dance on anything, as long as it has a good vibe/ rhythm ) , but nothing… and i noticed many people around our table in the exact same situation, waving hands, wanting to dance, but no dance music.
I do respect we are in Turkey, and certainly expecting to hear Turkish music which by the way, I like, however I would have loved to listen to something popular from Turkey, or to more commercial music which normally is listen by everyone , and have a bit of party in the evening .
On every holiday, I love attending all the water zumba. Sadly, in my opinion this was the worst zumba/ aqua gym I’ve attended. Water above the chest and their movements really hard to do under the water. They used very awkward moves, and repetitive. The vibe was more like a gym coach rather than a holiday fun vibe.
Normally the team needs to have a very good vibe, singing and laughing and basically making you happy 😊. So sorry for the bad review as I am sure they work hard, but entertaining team needs a bit of an upgrade.

Overall we had an amazing time, and definitely return to Turkey 🇹🇷. Calido Maris holtel definitely deserves better reviews and I would recommend going there ( if you are not a party lover) 😄♥️

Spent a week there with my 9 year old son, and on the whole we had a lovely time. It is an all-inclusive so one needs to understand that this establishment is essentially a cruise ship on land. If your looking to get a feel for everyday living in Turkey and do as the locals do, this place it not for you. The staff we friendly and attentive, the facilities were clean and I genuinely felt very welcomed and relaxed. The food selection although abundant, did feel monotonous at times, and I desperately wanted garlic and pepper sauce with their amazing grill which was nowhere to be seen. Would highly recommend for anyone looking for an easy and relaxed getaway. Shout out the the hooka and cocktail boss! You're a legend.

Checked out today, this place is great. Although it's quite far from the airport and city centre, everything you need is within the hotel! If you want anything else, a cab will be outside in a few minutes.
The entertainment team are great, Mady and Fabio are the best people ever and we were sad to leave them! They made it possible for guests who don't speak the same language to have such fun together.
The food is definitely not catered towards English people but why would it be? If you're in Turkey you should expect to eat turkish food. Which was also great!
Our room was cleaned daily and you see people cleaning to hotel, poolside and toilets ALL DAY. We even saw a sign fall down and it was being fixed within 5 minutes!
The beach is quite rocky as you enter the water but nice and sandy by the loungers.
Oh and don't be fooled into going to Land of the legends at night... its just a shopping centre. In the day may be more fun.

All in all, we'd definitely go back, and plan to bring our whole family next time :)

This hotel take it to a whole another level with every little detail it has. Good quality food, hygiene was alright but the service... It's beyond incredible. I would like to thank all of them seperately but the service staff in general were great. They were very caring,friendly, fast and neat. Literaly smiles were throwing in the air. They were the best part of our 10 days vacation. So a big thanks to the staff and the management but the biggest one is to the service staff and their chief🤗

Just came back from late vacation break. I’ve wanted visit turkey for the f1 race. Sadly I’ve not been so Lucky. But I’ve to got say this trip was amazing. Kudos to my Turkish (calico Maris hotel) host they know how to entertain and keep from access to the beautiful beach and amazing poolside accommodations. They truly know how to wow you. Most of the time going foreign places the food can be hit or miss. Surprisedly this hotel is really good as it had a good supply of food and drinks for both young and old. The staff while able to speak English surprised us as the can speaker polish and German and Russian also. The clients that I observed seemed to come from all over the globe. Views of the mountains are breathtaking. The rooms are very clean and maintained and very cool with A/C that are very effective at cooling the room quickly when need. So my final verdict is. I’ll definitely recommend you this hotel/resort. Oh just one more thing it is an all inclusive for food and drinks free wifi is included when we stayed. Do drop in and enjoy some Turkish delights..

The hotel's location is excellent, offering beautiful views and easy access to local attractions.

The dining options were varied and of high quality, with a great selection of dishes catering to different tastes. The hotel's amenities, including the pool and spa, were top-notch and added to the overall enjoyment of the stay.

Overall, my time at Calido Maris Hotel was fantastic, and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxing and enjoyable stay in Side.

We just got back from Calido Maris and had a fantastic experience! The staff was very welcoming, and the rooms were comfortable and well maintained.
The meals were amazing,everything was flavorful and lots of different options to eat (very important for us at least).

A huge highlight was the animation crew they were so fun and creative! Their energy brought so much fun to our vacation, with activities for all ages. They didn’t let us gets bored at all.
I definitely recommend this hotel!
