This is our second time staying at this hotel. Huge, well-kept area. A beautiful wide beach with a very convenient entrance to the sea. Excellent hotel we recommend.
For us, the hotel is in a great location, with a wonderful private beach. The atmosphere is excellent, and the staff is very friendly. The rooms are clean and comfortable. The service is worthy of five stars
Kids’ animation basically consists of sitting children in front of cartoons for several hours while the animators scroll on their phones or chat with each other. The children are practically left on their own
The room had one large double bed and two small sofa beds, which was very inconvenient for a family. Bedding, towels, and robes were also only for three people
Kids’ Animation: The animators do run some shows and activities, but they appear completely uninterested — no emotions, no energy, no engagement at all
The room was very small, and the bathroom and furnishings were old and worn. Despite this, cleaning was done daily, and the room was kept tidy
And there were alot of things to do at the hotel. The pool is a bit cold but you can go to the beach as well
The weather has been brilliant 😎 (apart from today we have had some heavy showers) We have toured round the whole hotel and had a good time at the beach
You have enough food and drink in the restaurant and beach bar to keep you full all day. There is a wide selection for everyone, kids and adults
But being the end of the season and on a Monday it was quiet. I can imagine it being a super club during a busier day or time of the year
Be waring you must pay for WiFi away from lounge area which is not documented until you arrive. 95 for a week which isn't terrible and signal was stable even at the beach. Overall very good we enjoyed it
Me and my sister stayed at the hotel for 7 days. They took our luggage upstairs. The activiteits from the animation team was awesome. The halloweenparty was great, the partys to the club, the brazilian show
It was another amazing and unforgettable holiday in Maxx Royal Kemer. Rooms, restaurants, pools and other points were as usually perfectly good. Very special thanks to the General Manager of the Hotel to Mr
Hands down one of the best hotel experiences we have ever had as a family. Our baby (1,5 y) got the sweetest kind of attention and care at the Kidsclub. The rooms are clean and the staff everywhere is incredible
Senol for his great hospitality. We’d love to thank to another amazing person to our Assistant Mr. Jackelin who’s been our assistant for many years in all our stays in Maxx Royal Hotels
Loved this property so much and it has so many things to offer, they have a small water park ride and a crazy gaming zone too 🤯
Everything is so good about this property 🙌🏼🤌🏼
He definitely knows all our needs and is very helpful and friendly. Thanks to the rest of the staff who made our holiday unforgettable. Looking forward to visiting the hotel next year
Especially our assistant Ebru Tazefidan made our stay even more special. She made it feel like we were staying at a family home, really warm and cozy
We spent the last week of November at the hotel. Upon arrival, we were greeted by smiling staff at the reception. Since lunch wasn’t open yet, we were directed to the snack bar by the pool to eat
At first, we were given rooms in the last building, but later we had the opportunity to move to a family room in the first building with a view of the entire complex and the sea
Although we were a little unhappy because our car was accidentally hit in the hotel’s parking area, even though it was not the hotel’s fault, we appreciate all the efforts of the security staff to make our holiday enjoyable
Both rooms were beautiful and well maintained. The only issue was that the balcony door in the first building couldn’t be locked (we informed the staff, and they promised to fix it after our departure)
He put the stroller back up for rent even after my 3-year-old child (weighing about 15 kg) repeatedly fell through the bottom because the seat frame was broken from the stroller frame, and the wheels wouldn’t turn properly when there was kid in it
This is the one of the best hotels where I was. Distances are short, but area is big enough. All the time I can find comfortable free spaces at the beach, pool, messhall. I can easy reach every point with stoller
Accommodation and Amenities-
The hotel overall is nice, offering spacious rooms (including our own balcony). The location is perfect, situated right on the beach, and the property features three large pools
For relaxation and activity, the hotel also provides a spa, disco, shop, and hairdresser. Food and Dining (A Major Highlight)
There is plenty of variety to cater to any dietary requirements
Crucially, food is available 24 hours a day. We arrived late and were extremely grateful to find a full offering of chips, pizza, and burgers available—a lifesaver after a long journey
Was given a room in the main building with sea view, freshly renovated, fresh, bright furniture. The food, well, fish, meat, every day. And the location is the only big advantage of this hotel, on the seafront
Hotel looks a little bit tired and average evening entertainment, though neither significantly impacted our enjoyment. We enjoyed an October half-term holiday here
Fortunately, there is a cash machine located just outside the hotel premises. Sightseeing Tip:
If you plan to visit the beautiful Side old town, local buses are easily accessible
- indoor pool - was down for maintenance despite an initial confirmation when I booked that no works were planned. Managed to use for last 4 days of stay, was a main attraction for my booking
Perhaps because it wasn't the peak season, the lunch buffet was quite mediocre. But what they had was delicious, thank you.
Another Excellent Stay
This was our sixth visit to the hotel, and as always, it was a truly pleasant experience. We were very satisfied with our Star Swim-Up Villa, which offered both comfort and privacy
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
We had a wonderful stay at IC Santai! The hotel is beautiful and well organized, but what truly made our vacation special were the amazing staff at Hi Kids Club
They are kind, professional, and genuinely care about the children. Our kids absolutely loved spending time there — every day was full of fun, laughter, and creative activities
Me and my family had our first trip to Turkey and after doing my research on hotels IC Santai seemed like a good fit as it had great reviews in regards of customer service, cleanliness, modern hotel standards and good overall experience of previous visitors
Melissa was also fantastic friendly, professional, and always happy to help. The hotel itself is beautiful, immaculately maintained, and the private beach is stunning, relaxing, and perfectly set up for a day in the sun
Alena in the Mini Club was absolutely brilliant, she also organised a wonderful birthday event for our son, which made his day so special and memorable
We stayed here at the end of May (sorry for the late review) for a week and we had the best time. The pool facilities were excellent and great for the kids
We had a nice stay at Miracle Resort Hotel & Spa. The all-inclusive package was excellent, with great food, drinks, and service throughout our stay
We had a blast relaxing at the pool and enjoying the water activities. Thanks Dilara Food was good but too much
The food was really delicious; especially the breakfast had a wide variety of options. The pool and beach areas were very well maintained, the sea was beautiful, and the water was incredibly clean

Large territory, aquapark, sand on the beach, many swimming pools, good cuisine. Great place for vacation with children
Food was amazing, so much choice, always something different. Had to be something there for everyone. Pools were clean, not over crowded and top class lifeguards were on top of their jobs always
Staff around the pools making sure no food, drinks left around. The beach was clean and lots of sun beds available. Loved seeing the cats and petting them. Looked cared for despite being so petite
We particularly enjoyed the water park and beach. The main negative was the standard rooms are pretty basic, and when arrived at 1am, there was a bed missing from the room, this was the same for 6 other families
The gardeners were working daily keeping the paths clean and tidy in so much heat, too. My first holiday for nigh on 20yrs and thoroughly enjoyed my stay with family
Whether it was breakfast by the pool or dinner at the à la carte restaurant, everything was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. We also loved the pool area and beach — clean, relaxing, and never too crowded
We never had a problem finding sunloungers by the pool but in the afternoons it was difficult to find them by the beaches. All the staff are friendly, helpful and incredibly hard working
The rooms were spacious, comfortable and cleaned every day. The gardens and grounds are absolutely stunning and are an absolute credit to the Hotel and all the staff who work so hard everyday to keep them pristine
There was a large selection of different cocktails which we thoroughly enjoyed. The pools were a little chilly but once you were in soon got used to it , the sea was still lovely and warm
Most beautiful setting I’ve been to ( I’ve done turkey numerous times , Mexico , Dominican , Greece , canaries etc ) The location really is outstanding. Views from every bar , restaurant , pools, terrace
Great relaxing chill out tunes at bars in evening with soft comfortable seating and nice lighting and vibe
Favourites for us was watching the sun rise up at sunrise bar with a coffee , dining at moonlight under the lights, lykia terrace for breakfast and lunch , Turkish coffee from the agora bar , cocktails at sunrise and sunset were amazing
My wife and I, along with our two small children, stayed at Selge Beach Resort & Spa for 6 nights. A very nice and cozy resort where the quality of the various experiences offered is definitely worth the price
We visited during peak season in July, and while this did impact the service level—orders and requests took longer than usual—it was never to an uncomfortable extent
The swimming facilities are good for both children and adults, with options for both shared and gender-segregated areas. Refreshments and snacks are always conveniently available throughout the resort
Installing some sort of ceiling fans for better air circulation would make a difference. Additionally, the children's play areas could use an upgrade, as some parts were noticeably worn out
Our room was a bit far from the elevators, and the walking distance, combined with the wait for the elevators, was uncomfortably hot and made us sweat every time
Areas for improvement at the resort include the lack of air conditioning in the hallways between rooms and elevators on the upper floors
The beach was nice with clear water but not child-friendly as it gets deep after just a couple of meters into the water. The water park was good but a bit difficult with their queuing system
night shows: the shows are good most of the time
kids area: this hotel is a kid hotel. lots of places for kids
sea: not good. the place you get in water is ful of stones and gets deeper quickly
dessert: 1 out of 10-soooo bad. especially baklava etc so bad
pools: very good but little bit crowded
aqua parks: very good but little bit crowded
restaurants: good,most of the time enough
The children had to wait every time they wanted to ride the larger slides. People complain that there were no sun loungers, which is not true
However very interestingly they handle it so well. just some places and restaurant can be crowded at peak times. some details:
food: the food is not amazing, some bars are good but it is 7 out of 10
staf: helpful and kind
rooms: very very clean and spacious. car lot: they have lots of car lot but i wasnt able to find a place. snacks: most of the time they are good
Also to Yusef, the guest relations offer who has made sure we are 100% happy during our stay and always greets us with a smile. I will definitely be returning to Trendy Lara in future ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Also the facilities are brilliant. Everything has been perfect so far! Special thanks to Burgu and Shamus, the best bartenders we've ever had and a real asset to the hotel
Great choice of good food,room big,comfortable and clean. In a quieter area on the outskirts of Lara area,nowhere to walk outside as it’s a main road,no shops etc
My fiancé and I had an incredible experience at Trendy Lara during our 3-night stay. We stayed in a king room with a balcony overlooking pools
That was the second visit to the resort in 1 year. Everything was perfect, food, staff, room, and facilities.
For sure, again next year.
2nd night was for managers of the company a bit less busier on that night. I think trendy Lara management should’ve curtailed a separate area for the conference people,but they’ve paid like the holidaymakers I guess
The bars were just okay; the one between the two main pools often smelled unpleasant (like old beer or stagnant water), and the coffee and juice machines didn’t appear well cleaned or maintained
The Turkish bath / hammam massage is highly recommended. There’s also an indoor pool, a small shopping area, bowling alley, nightclub, outdoor cinema for kids, and even an archery space
It would also help if there were designated smoking and non-smoking areas, as smoke was overwhelmingly strong around the pool areas
The hotel offers a lot, but none of it is clearly explained. Guests aren’t given a map or any guidance other than mealtimes and additional charges, so it’s easy to miss facilities and activities altogether
The main dinner buffet officially ran 6:30–9pm, but staff began removing food around 8:30–8:45pm, which caused a rush. On two occasions the lights were switched off while we were still eating at 9:15pm
Our room faced a building site, so we were disturbed by drilling and dust during the day. The smell of chicken waste was also strong near our block, and the cockerels crowed both day and night

Food & service were excellent! Warm thanks to the pleasant workers who made my stay awesome! Fatih & Ugor are kind and generous receptionists! I enjoyed a luxurious welcoming! Tuana & Chaimae offered amazing guest experience and are great,smiling speakers!
Servin Deniz smiled gracefully and worked as hard as a bee!
The animation team endorses beautiful people with spectacular personalities!
My respect...
We loved this hotel, and the people who ran it. We booked through TUI and flew Sunexpress for the new year period 2024-25. The room and hotel was kept extreemly clean. The food was of a very good quality and quite varied
New years eve celebrations were fabulous, all the staff clearly made a big effort to make it something special and they nailed it
Unfortunately we didnt get to try any of the a la carte restaurants as the few that were open were all booked up
*transfer from antayla is about 45mins
*download the TUI Magic Life app to book restaurants and activities
Amazing hotel with huge area and plentiful atmosphere. Different activities, pools, shops are available inside. Anyone can have food all the day. Picturesque gardens and views of Mediterranean sea
A ideal place to relax and spend holidays
entertainment 9/10 - lots of choice from game centre, main stage entertainment although I did find that a bit repetitive and any speaking is in Turkish the kids still enjoyed it, there is a spa which I had a massage by a lovely lady ming very professional and friendly, indoor cinema, indoor pool, a nightclub, they did different themes each night around the far side pool like a foam party, light show...
Staying at this hotel was an absolute delight from start to finish. The staff was incredibly friendly and always ready to assist with any request
There are changing sheds located near all the pools so you don’t have to go back to the room if you want a quick change. A key card for each member is given so you can get a towel from the towel kiosk near the pool area
Cannot recommend this hotel enough! We had the most amazing experience as a family of 4 including 2 children aged 1 & 13. We were all inclusive in a double standard room pool side

A very good hotel, it is aesthetic and looks good, the food is good and diverse, the cocktails are also good, the staff is very friendly and pleasant, many interesting activities you don't get bored at all, but most importantly the beach is beautiful and clean
The rooms were luxurious and had an amazing bathroom, with a large balcony. The amenities and activities were good. The food was top class and had a lot of variety, from seafood to late night snacks
We spent most of our time at the pool bar and Betul was a fantastic bartender and was great at her job. The lobby bar was also a great spot for spending the evenings with freshly ground coffee
I have visited various hotels in Turkey but they get better every time. We are family of 4 and booked the quad deluxe villa, which came with two rooms
The hotel is well maintained and looked after. All the staff work hard to please the guests and make their stay a holiday to remember A special thank you to Mr Isik for his kindness and generosity
PROTECTED, CLOSED, HUGE, BRIGHT AND COLORFUL TERRITORY. ONLY FROM THE AIRPORT IT IS ALMOST 2 HOURS TIRED TO GO, BUT WE WILL GO THERE AGAIN MANDATORY!
Harika bir deneyimdi, off-sezon olmasına tağmen otel olanakları harika bir şekilde sunulmuştu. Servisinden ve lezzetlerinden çok memnun kaldık. Bunlar dışında temizlik spa ve genel alan hizmetleri oldukça iyiydi
Tek şikayet bu kadar elit bir otelin açık büfe rest. Kalitesi daha iyi olmalı ve içki barındaki premium içkiler özellikle viski rafı çeşitlendirilmeli
During our stay, we noticed that the service in the buffet restaurant could have been more attentive. On one evening, the waiters passed by our table several times without offering drinks or asking if we needed anything
We recently stayed at Rixos Premium Belek and overall the hotel was truly beautiful. The resort itself was impressive — the architecture, landscaping, and overall atmosphere were stunning
Fortunately, the issue was eventually resolved and we were able to keep the reservation, but situations like this can affect guests’ confidence when planning their stay
Before our arrival, our confirmed reservation was attempted to be cancelled twice due to what was described as a “local market / nationality agreement
The animation team, led by Murad (he’s a real rock star!), made everyone feel welcome and included. During the day, the atmosphere is calm and peaceful, which creates a perfect balance between relaxation and fun
On top of that, there are a la carte restaurants and a few snack bars around the resort, which makes it easy to grab something tasty anytime during the day
Evenings were always full of energy, the animation shows were genuinely entertaining, and after that, there was live music or a DJ performance every night
The food was another highlight, every meal (breakfast, lunch, and dinner) offered a great variety and everything tasted fresh and delicious
All the bar staff were consistently polite, helpful and professional. Drinks were always available, and I really appreciated being able to get a nice coffee or tea whenever I wanted
Some servers in the eating areas were sometimes rude as well. They don’t know how to interact with visitors. Facilities: I think the facilities are a little outdated
Room fridge provided - although not great, our drinks were colder than the room was!
Bus available to transport hotel guests to the beach and back
I really enjoyed my stay at this hotel, especially the animation team — it was always fun, and the evening shows were amazing!
We stayed at Asteria Collection Side in mid October. There are a lot of pros and cons with this hotel. Good
Friendly staff, available 24 hours, and a good level of communication in English
Short walk to the beach, if you don’t fancy the pools available in the hotel
Although a fresh kick of paint had been applied, this does not cover up the mould in the shower, and terrible drainage system. There was a massive extractor fan outside of our room
We measured this at 72dB all day and night. This is similar to a loud car ride. A transfer service is available within the hotel, however is very expensive

They had empty plant pots beside each sunbed so people could put there cigarette ash and rubbish but they seemed to just attract more flies! Beach was fun the sea was warmer than the pool! Overall not the best atmosphere for a couple of colour as the hotel is mainly Eastern European, me and my partner often got rude looks and sometimes looked at like a lion in the middle of the city so be prepared
Pool - pools were big and sunbeds where plenty but the pool was unbearable cold that no one was in them
I asked the manager if it is usually this cold and he said yes, a big let down considering how big the pool is! The sunbed area was very filthy, you could not lie down for 3 minutes without a fly landing on you
This was difficult at times as a lot of staff did not understand English so could not tell us what each dish was! Food was jus horrendous, cold chips and dry fish everyday Staff- A big shoutout to the two entertainment girls Zeynep and Suheyla, you guys made our trip amazing and was the reason we didn’t change hotels! You’re the best!! However 90% of staff do not speak English so it was difficult to...
The food was horrible and mainly catered towards Eastern Europeans, unfortunately couldn’t find any Turkish cuisine which was odd considering we’re in turkey! If you have an allergy then good luck as absolutely nothing was labelled and you had to ask staff what things were
