5 star hotels in Side

There were some things that could have been better (only because we needed some Vegam options and those were not really available) but honestly, if we had to choose again, we’d still come back to the same place even with the options being limited. Not that everything was perfect, but the staff and people working there were literally amazing . They truly went out of their way to make our stay great...

Stayed at Alexia Resort & Spa – Ultra All Inclusive (Adults Only) in October 2025. Unfortunately, my experience didn’t match what was advertised. I booked a Deluxe Double Room, but upon arrival was given a smaller room facing a very noisy street — clearly a lower category. The staff insisted all rooms are the same, although even the hotel’s own website shows Comfort and Deluxe as two different types...

Perfect Stay – Easily 5 Stars! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ My girlfriend and I were absolutely blown away by our stay at Alexia Resort & Spa in Side. This hotel truly deserves all 5 stars – and more if possible! Everything was spotless, the rooms were modern, comfortable, and perfectly maintained. The food was outstanding with so much variety, and drinks were unlimited. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful,...

Our stay at Alexia was amazing! I was pleasantly surprised how great the hotel was, considering the bad reviews. The bedrooms were absolutely 5* as they were modern, clean and had great views. Also, the mini bar in the rooms were constantly topped up for free. The location was great. A short walk down to the beach, there were always enough sun loungers available, right next to the water sports counter...

The hotel gives the impression of being luxurious and modern, but does not meet 5-star standards. The modern style of the rooms and the lobby is impressive, the minor drawbacks (like the damaged floor) do not affect the comfort. Very nice and friendly staff in the lobby (e.g. always smiling and very nice Mrs Selcan) :). Service is very varied - some waiters prefer guests who give tips, especially those...

Overall experience is good. Will we come again - no. We came at 2 am and our room was not prepared. We waited for 20 mins (what is not what you want to do at 2 am). Suddenly we saw two people with luggage and sweaty guy, who was appearntly cleaning room after those two people. That was tough start. Pool, pool bar is very good also snack bar is good way how to enjoy launch. Why? AC is not working anywhere...

The hotel is in a very nice place. Easy access. It is a place where you can go easily in the concept of all inclusive. The staff helps you. Food and drinks are delicious. There is also a parking lot. You can easily reach it by car or minibus. The sea is very close.

Very nice hotel I hope the quality stays the same.

We are very satisfied with the whole hotel. Everyone was very nice. the staff speaks German rather well, but we only know English. Despite this, they did everything they could to communicate with us. The food and the programs were also very varied. the parties were until 11 pm, which was very comfortable for families to relax. The beach is 3-4 minutes walk from the hotel and clean!

Great clean hotel consistent with the descriptions and standards of five-star hotels, very good fresh and varied food for everyone, great hotel service. The only minus is the attitude to the customer in German, in English you can talk. Despite highly recommend.

Good points: * Good swimming pool with a bar and some snacks. Some food or sweet is available at the pool even outside the meals times. * Very clean. * Private beach with lots of sun beds a bar and restaurant. The restaurant offer the lunch and stay later than the hotel restaurant. * Good variety of drinks (alcoholic and non-alcoholic) * Internet is not the fastest but it’s available everywhere...

We stayed 10 days in this hotel. First time in Turkey and thanks to them we would like to visit again. From reception to cleaning service, waiters, and especially animations team, every single one of them were very friendly and there for you. For those looking to party, I would not suggest this hotel since it seems to be more family oriented, but if you want to party there are a lot of clubs nearby...

Very beutiful place to spend the vacation with Kids! everyone is acting very friendly. Cleaning service is perfect. The kitchen and Food are just awesome. 😊😋 i recommend this place very much. and i'd LOVE to come back again.

We're leaving happily as usual. It's a bit crowded, especially on weekends, because it's winter. You might have to wait in line at the lobby bar. Other than that, there were no problems. Everything was great.

This is our third time back to the hotel. It's one of the few hotels open in winter. In January, we had a heated outdoor pool. The food is good, not very varied—mostly the same every day—but everything is delicious. The rooms need renovation.

We booked a room with a sea view. The receptionist said they had the right to change the room category and gave us the worst room with a roof view. We were told to complain to Trip.com. The manager we called turned out to only speak Turkish and couldn't help. This is our third time at the hotel (repeat reservations), and we didn't expect such rudeness.

The staff attitude is poor, and the rooms are old and poorly maintained.

Holiday village, 3 hotels, many pools, kids club, 6 a la carte restaurants and many more. Value for money $$$$ out of $$$$$

Many thanks to guest relations Fatma and front desk manager Burhan for their excellent service and helpfulness. It's a wonderful hotel, the food is delicious, and the rooms are very clean. We will definitely be back.

We have loved our stay here. Rooms are spacious and clean, the foods are delicious. The salad bar is especially amazing. Every worker has a smile on their face and service is excellent. Mrs Fatma from guest relations helped us with our EACH need warm and professionally. We loved her so much we will definitely come again for her hospitality. Everything else, the beach, surroundings and other guests...

Back at this beautiful hotel in March it’s our fifth time and we weren’t disappointed at all. It just gets better and better. So please ignore all the negative reviews. From the moment we arrived The Service we received was excellent and we were made to feel very special. The hotel is exceptionally clean and all the staff work very hard to make sure your holiday is the best you could have. The rooms...

This is a lovely hotel staff very friendly food is great most of the staff speak English Dogan very funny doing the darts and gets everyone involved Pina was great and up and down with drinks on the beach and pool bar

Very good very nice and beautiful and clean very nice staff very helpful

Just a beautiful little resort. We were looking forward to a relaxing vacation and that’s exactly what we got! The hotel isn’t huge, easy beach access where there are plenty umbrellas and beach chairs for all. The beach itself is nice, fine sand and not many rocks, clear water. The hotel is very stylish and smells amazing! The food is also great, there are 3-4 specialty restaurants and snack spots...

We travelled as a family of 4 from the UK with children aged 13 and 15. Although the hotel was mainly German this was quite an experience to not have the typical Brit vibe. In fact it was very chilled. The entertainment staff were fab as were all the restaurant and bar staff. They were all so friendly funny and welcoming. Lots of activities . It really made our holiday. Music is great around the poolside...

Some fantastic elements to the resort- food and pools. Food for everyone. We loved the lunch near the pool. Ice cream and waffles at 3-4pm were a huge hit! Staff worked hard and it was kept very clean. Good atmosphere around the pool. The resort is mostly catered to Germans in terms of evening shows etc. I think I only heard one other English speaking family whilst we were there. I quite liked it though...

Very much catered for German people with occupancy being around 90%. Staff mainly speak German. Staff friendliness/Helpfulness mixed. Previous experiences in Turkey much higher in other Hotels than found in Side Mare. Especially the reception staff who are less than helpfull. Wifi drops on and off throughout the day. Cleanliness of Hotel very good. Good pool and beach area. Entertainment very poor...

I read hotel reviews and came across good and bad comments. But I've experienced so many good things to disprove the bad reviews. I've never had such a good time. It was a really fun holiday. foods are good. The hotel view is beautiful. and especially if it wasn't for the animation team this hotel would be very quiet. They took us on a disco tour. I had so much fun. The animators are very close friends...

Good food 👌🏻 Room is OK👍🏻 slippery floor around the pool area 👎🏻 some stuff are very unfriendly, rude - specially a guy that works in the restaurant, acts like he is doing us a favor 👎🏻 cleaning ladies friendly and keep room nicely clean 👍🏻 3 elevator that I could count - small and normal full and air inside gets stuff. If you have luck you may catch one, or you have to take the stair if you are not...

Have just came back from this hotel as a family of 6, the hotel was ok the decor was a bit out dated although rooms were really clean. The cleaners worked hard and were lovely with my 2 year old. On the other hand though the bar staff and waiters not so much we got the impression that they had no time for the British and went out of there way for the Germans. There was some bar staff that where really...

Friendly and helpful staff, clean room, amazing food

Here as 3 English couples. First the negative Very hard beds and pillows,air conditioning in the communal areas is not maintained as constantly drips on you . Lack of entertainment inside the indoor bars and very bad piped music (Xmas songs in August ) food needs to be hotter . Positive Staff are fab and extremely helpful, food though sometimes cold is very tasty . Entertainment team ok but Rambo...

First of all, as a huge trip advisor reader, I read so many reviews before booking this hotel and always said when I was back Id right an honest review based on my experience. So here goes... We arrived in the middle of the night and was greeted by friendly staff who took our luggage to our room and showed us the features of the room. They advised us where food was available during the night and asked...

We spent 2 weeks (Nov/Dec 2024) at Alba Royal) Overall, it is a very nice hotel, in front of the beach Perfect cleaning, huge swimming pool, nice spa, good service, wide food variety, nice drinks. I recommend this place with no doubts and would gladly come back again 😊

Just came back from a weeks stay here and it was absolutely amazing, nothing can be faulted. The room was brand very clean. The hotel is so big and has lots to do inside. Cannot fault the staff at all especially Circan from Nikita lounge and Hasan and all the other staff from the downstairs bar I’m sorry I don’t remember all their names, excellent customer service and just genuine nice people :) it...

This hotel is most definitely not a 5 star hotel it is barely scraping a 4 star rating in my opinion. The grounds are vast and well kept but unfortunately wherever you are around the grounds and including the restaurant terraces you are forever engulfed in a puff of smoke. So if you think you wish to enjoy a lovely lunch or dinner outside think again. The WiFi is useless as if you want it in your...

Absolutely amazing, delicious food, excellent service and a beautiful location directly at the beach. This was by far one of the most relaxing holidays I have ever had. Some of the highliths were the fitness classes, the Spa area and (a personal favorite) the San Sebastian Cheesecake. Cannot recommended enough. Just one thing to keep in mind, the average age of the guests is higher than I expected...

Good food, entertainment, restaurant staff. Bad cleaning staff... very bad reception staff ----Some additional details: - Bad experience with reception staff: 1- Misleading information about public transportation (not only taxis were available, BUT inter-city buses are available, city small buses are available). 2- Misleading information about taxi prices (the receptionist proposed us "deal" round...

We booked this hotel for 7 nights during the period 4-11 September 2025. It was our first time here and we are very happy with everything! All was perfect to our expectations: daily cleaning in all areas including rooms, daily towels change. The staff was very friendly, they speak German and English. The food was delicious and tasty with a wide variety that could really meet varied tastes and appetites...

2nd visit to this relaxing hotel. Good food especially like the beach snack bar and cake at theas coffee shop. A la carte at the fish restaurant was very nice. Good amount of activities on offer. Particularly liked the aqua boards and aqua jump. Would highly recommend for a chilled holiday. Most guests Germans but this was not a negative to us, all staff spoke English. One negative is that the man...

I recently spent a week at TUI BLUE Side, and I must say it was an amazing experience from start to finish. The hotel is beautifully maintained, with clean and comfortable rooms that are replenished daily, and the overall atmosphere is so peaceful and relaxing. What truly made our stay special, though, was the incredible staff. A huge thank you to Yilmaz at reception – he went above and beyond to...

Wow blown away by this amazing place, I’ve stayed in a lot of places before but these guys are 5star. The rooms amazing, the food wow, the staff are friendly and go the extra mile for every guest. I cannot recommend this hotel enough, a special thanks to ozkan one of the entertainment and restaurant staff, such a talented and lovely guy. Thank you TUI blue side

I was affraid reading comments but I can say that it was amazing week. Delicious food, ice cream, cakes. Room service cleaned room every day. I would like to highlight how engaged was animation team: football, darts, volleyball, aqua aerobik etc. No time for boring. You are amazing.

This is one of my best holidays I’ve ever experienced firstly the hospitality on arrival me and my son were very welcomed. For the 5 days that we stayed all inclusive Everything was on point the actual resort itself was amazing and massive And very family friendly And we was welcomed by the hotel reps that work there daily. I want to say a massive thank you to Fahmi Osman who worked at the resort...

Food, Rooms, Cleanliness – 10/10 The Linda Resort is a tranquil hotel, perfect for families. On my first day, I noticed that the guests were mostly families, which felt a bit unusual as a young solo traveler at first. However, meeting the animation team completely changed my experience. Their passion and enthusiasm made my stay incredibly enjoyable – a huge thank you to the entire team! The beach...

The facilities and rooms are very good, and on the cliff by the sea, the scenery is unobstructed.

Food was great but the rooms need renovation

The Linda Hotel is particularly popular with German guests. There are many regular guests aged 50 and over. It is not the biggest or most luxurious hotel, but it is well maintained and clean. It is not really recommended for "party vacationers".

We had a wonderful vacation here. Overall, the hotel is good, but with a few minor drawbacks here and there. The Defne Defnem is a rather low-end 5-star hotel. In my opinion, whether you are satisfied here depends largely on your previous experiences with 5-star hotels and your expectations as a result. The building is new and impressive, the rooms are large, and the beds are very comfortable. The...

We had an amazing holiday here. The Hotel is beautiful, extra clean, plenty of food choices even for the picky eaters. Also the beach bar was super nice, the team is also very cute. The only complaint I have was the wifi, it doesnt work in the rooms, that made my stay uncomfortable as I needed to pay a lot of money for data in my country. Special thanks to the Reception Team, and Erkan who was absolutely...

It was one of my life’s best holiday, due to this wonderful staff of this special hotel! It was my first trip in Turkey , but for sure, I will come back soon! Everything was excelent , all my gratitude tó the hardworking people, my special thanks tó Erkan, Hüseyin and Sudenaz! You are the best!

We were very happy there. The hotel was nice and clean, the pool was good, room service nice, good meal, nice sea. The slides were fun. They had tennis… There were minor issues - they could change the towel used for the beach every second day. The wifi was very bad - did not work in the room but we solved it with Airalo. Overall very nice experience, we would come back.

We stayed in the Hotel for a week. It was a great holiday, the staff were really nice and friendly, the food was delicious, they offered a great variety of food, the hotel is clean and the atmosphere is pleasant. Absolutely loved it, I’d recommend!

We stayed at the Fulya Hotel from June 7–15, 2024, with friends. We got the sea-view room we had booked. The hotel is clean, the staff are kind and helpful, and the food is delicious with a huge variety – we even received gluten-free baked goods every day upon request. Special thanks to Oguzhan A in the main restaurant! The cocktails are great, and the entertainment is fun and high-quality. The only...

This was my first time in an "ultra all inclusive" hotel (or whatever it’s called). My first impression was very pleasant: the staff were very kind and helpful. Almost all services are included - pool, restaurant, bar. In one week, I think I ate about two thousand ice creams. Things that, in my opinion, are not great: it seems that smoking is allowed almost everywhere - by the pool, at the bar (outdoors...

Great place! Excellence service, delicious food, many activities all day long. Very good drinks🤭 Holiday of my life! I travel a lot, know Turkey very well but this hotel was so far the best. I will be back but next time for more than 1 week. Thank you Fulya Staff for making my holiday so successful!!!

We stayed at the Sentido Kamelya Fulya Hotel and overall had a great experience. We were given a room on the top floor, right in the center, with a full sea view (extra charge, but totally worth it!). The room was clean and comfortable, housekeeping came daily to clean, replace towels, and restock the minibar. However, we were a bit disappointed with the food. While there was plenty of variety, it...

Was just ok, not wowing. On my one lift worked when we checked in. Had to wait for ages to use the small lifts. For a big resort only one person checking everybody in. Room was nice, food was ok as well. Long and short is I’d definitely try somewhere else next time

What I liked: The resort is visually stunning, and the staff are its biggest strength. Despite being understaffed and working extremely long hours, they remained friendly, professional, and hardworking—this includes receptionists, bartenders, waiters, and housekeeping. The food was fantastic, with delicious daily variations inspired by different cuisines. The beach is wide, sandy, and located conveniently...

Good experience over all. It is a small hotel , for those who don't like the big busy resorts. BUT what it needs a.s.a.p is a renovation both in the reception area, which is dark, and in the rooms. You need to get rid of the brown wood and repaint everything in brighter colors. In the room the furniture is dated. The front door does not isolate properly and it's old. In the bathroom we didn't have...

We had an amazing stay at this hotel in Side, Antalya. Our stay was from 4th to 11th of July 2025 and everything exceeded our expectations — from the moment we arrived until the day we left. The service was impeccable, the staff was always friendly, helpful and polite. Rooms were cleaned every day, with clean towels supplied daily for both the room and for use at the beach or pool. The beach was beautiful...

Our stay at the hotel was wonderful – the food, the beach, the service, and the pool were all excellent. There’s really nothing to complain about. I just have a few small suggestions for management: The machines for fresh orange juice are quite old and often get jammed. Only one out of five worked properly, and the others were very difficult to use. Also, I would recommend offering smaller, mini-sized...

Great holiday and great resort. Staff were excellent. We were upgraded to a large room. Everything was spotlessly clean. Food was great, possibly could be kept warmer during sessions. Overall a super holiday Beach was just outside the hotel entrance. Nice sunbed area. Lots of shops close by and a short distance from Side

Spent 10 days here in July. The hotel was always very clean and tidy in all areas. The beds were comfortable and the rooms a good size. If I had one gripe it was that the air conditioning wasn't great and would often turn itself off on its own so I'd often wake up at night very hot. I never complained about it so can't comment on whether they could have resolved the problem. The pool area was quite...

We have just returned from an amazing stay at the Sunis Evren Beach Hotel & Spa in Everenseki, Side. The hotel is one of the only hotels which we have stayed at in Turkey that accurately represents the official 5 Star Rating. TUI rate it as 4T Plus, we believe they should rate it as 5T. There are lots of bazaars, restaurants and shops a couple of minutes walk away. Again, it is a couple of minutes...

A beautiful, modern and high quality resort. We were wowed from the moment we arrived, and did not get bored or want for anything during our stay. The staff were kind, hardworking, friendly and attentive. Food and drinks were diverse, delicious and plentiful. There was also plenty to do and keep entertained including water slides, diverse fun activities and evening entertainment. The nostalgic and...

We had a wonderful stay at Calyptus Kirman Premium Resort! 🌴✨ The service was excellent from start to finish – the staff is always friendly, attentive, and helpful. We were especially impressed by the animation team, which offers great entertainment for all ages and creates such a lively atmosphere. A very special thank you goes to Kristina from the animation team – our daughter immediately took her...

Very nice resort, especially for families. It’s really clean and the food is delicious and also clean. We didn’t have any issues on that part. The only thing that I have to criticize is, that the service in the restaurant isn’t really there. There is a nice snack bar street with various snacks like gözleme, wraps, waffles and many more. I would have loved it even more, if these snack bars would be...

I had an amazing stay at Kirman Calyptus Resort! The staff were incredibly friendly and always ready to help with a smile. The animation team kept the atmosphere lively every day with fun activities and evening shows—such great energy and professionalism. The waiters were equally wonderful, quick and attentive, making every meal a pleasure. Speaking of meals, the food was excellent: fresh, varied,...

Hotel is amazing! Beautifully clean. The food is so good and so much choice. The entertainment staff have been so friendly and we have joined in with lots of the activities. There are so many different things to do. We have had fabulous drinks and cocktails and the bar staff are very friendly and chatty. Would definitely return to this hotel.
