Great value for money. The hotel is not overly luxurious but offers everything you need for a comfortable stay. The all-inclusive concept is well thought out with healthy, fresh food and plenty of choice.

A downside is that reserving poolside loungers with towels seems to be tolerated, which can be frustrating. The entertainment program is fine, though more oriented towards adults than teenagers.

Overall, a very good experience at a fair price.

Room was alright. Staff was kinda friendly but a little bit passive. Some didn't seem to care about the guests at all. Food was acceptable but not amazing by any means. Location is alright, a bit far from the central areas and not quite close to the beach, but there's a bus service for free to go there for guests. We had some problems with bugs in our room (ants and a single cricket), but the staff cleaned up and the bugs disappeared.

So the hotel is ok but could be better. We booked as a family of 5. One room had AC and the other room didn't. Unfortunately the 5th person had to sleep on the sofa, not a sofa bed or anything just a sofa which had a sheet and pillow on it. The shower would run boiling, hot and cold but it was ok. The room had a kettle, 3 cups, 3 glasses and 3 towels yet they knew it was for a family of 5. There was no tea/coffee or sugar that was with it. Seemed strange. Also we fell a bit unlucky as our room was located above a restaurant and you could hear music and the movement of chairs when they were shutting. Also there was other restaurants on the street to which one had karaoke on late in the evening (midnight).
The food was ok but was pretty much the same every day, breakfast, dinner and tea. None of the food was labelled so you just had to try it to see if you liked it. All the puddings/desserts where pretty much all the same as they were soaked in a syrup (not sure if this is a Turkish way)There were two hot drinks machines inside the restaurant but the juice/water was outside which was frustrating and only one of them. The big no no for me was the stray cats roaming through the restaurant and obviously people would feed them. I found this quite unhygienic. The pools where fine but if you're being picky about them then it would be that it is the same depth throughout the 2 pools (140cm) so if your kid is an age between a toddler and 10 years old then they would have to be a decent swimmer. The entertainment was very poor on the evening, either bingo, belly dancing or kids club. We did find that the hotel still tried to make more money of the guests. Obviously there was a point that some alcohol maybe chargeable as it is imported which is fine. However every cocktail had a price. This also was the same for milkshakes€3, popcorn €3, candy floss €3 and even fresh orange juice (€2 per glass) in the morning for breakfast.

The good points-

The staff were very friendly and the 3 main entertainers did a great job with the guests. A mention to Orkan who had a great attitude. There was darts competition twice a day, water polo in the afternoon, foam party on Wednesday to which was good fun, aqua aerobics in the morning and also a kids club (my kids are too old for it so can't say how good it was).
The onsite Turkish bath was also very good and well priced. The onsite shop was expensive (obviously). What was onsite also which was unusual was a tattoo/piercing studio and a hair and beauty salon. The hotel provided a free shuttle service to the beach and back to the hotel. The beach is rammed full of sunbeds by the way.
Is this a great hotel? No but each to their own. Would I go back to this hotel and Side? No also. I don't think I have gotten the best deal for £4,500 for 10 nights. Maybe we got unlucky as a family as I read plenty of reviews for this hotel and thought it would be good. My kids enjoyed it which is what is important but this hotel is more of a 2 star.

I hope this review helps others.

Booked 2x1 bed apartments for a family of 5. When we arrived they upgraded us to a 3 bed villa for free as the apartments would have been on the opposite ends of the hotel. The villa had 3 bedrooms, 2 of which had air-conditioning. 2 bathrooms and 3 balconies with a living area that had a kettle and fridge. Two pools are lovely and refreshing. Staff are very helpful and friendly. Pool party was fun! I really enjoyed the food and trying new stuff but my fussy boys did struggle. The kebab and Sunday lunch was delicious. Shops and restaurants on doorstep. The hotel also does a free shuttle to the beach. Old town is about 20 min walk away.

We returned 13 years after our initial visit. Site feels relaxed, safe and clean. Plenty of beautiful scenery and with the feel your not surrounded by hundreds of people like some places.
With updates to the site and waterslides a great addition it hasn't lost its friendly and relaxed feel.
Wonderful food to suit so many, even fussy eaters.
Pepsi max on tap ... Great updated choice thanks!
Staff, just fun, happy and efficient!

Get fed up with all the moaners it is what we expected by the price we paid. The rooms was cleaned every day room bit dated. Food breakfast not great lunch better evening meal good choices about the same standard as any all inclusive hotels you’re fine anywhere.Bar I don’t like local spirits so guess what I bought a bottle of Gordon’s gin and staff were happy to give me the mixers I wanted. You get what you pay for,staff very friendly..would I come back ? Yes. If you want 1st class then pay 1st class money it’s that simple..

If you’re on Facebook (for this hotel) then you’ll have seen the contrasting reviews.
Two friends and I wanted somewhere cheap and close to shops/market for a short weekend break.
So on arrival reception was easy to find, helpful staff showed us to our room after checking us in, very informative of dining times. Main Room had 1 double bed and the other room had two singles and wardrobes. Air con was in the main room which also had a mini kitchen worktop area and a fridge( ham and cheese rolls as late arrival and a big bottle of water), tv and hairdryer also included in room . Bathroom was adequate, toilet sink and shower. Room was clean on arrival and also cleaned again the next day while we were out shopping.
Breakfast buffet- cooked breakfast, omelette (freshly made), some cereals and the usual holiday buffet cheeses, bread, fruit etc. food was all hot and enjoyable.
Lunch buffet rice, pasta, pizza, desserts, curry, fish, chicken etc again all hot and enjoyable- the mash is amazing.
Dinner- we ate out by choice as was exploring the area so cannot comment or feedback.
Drinks included were local drinks only but we weren’t here to drink, we did take our own cans and airport duty free bottles anyway. Staff in restaurant come and ask which drink you would like and bring it to you while you eat so that’s really nice.
Pool x2 clean, enough loungers around both pools.
Didn’t use spa facilities as only here for short shopping trip.
Reception called us a taxi when we wanted to venture further afield.
Market was walking distance about 10 mins (lots of bargains for ‘Turkey real’ items)
I would book again and recommend.
Don’t be put off by all the bad reviews on Facebook but don’t expect the earth,
We don’t go on holiday to sit in the room 24/7 anyway, clean bed to rest our heads and a shower to wash in, we didn’t need more.
Staff all friendly and helpful and no as 3 young(ish) adult women, we weren’t pestered or made to feel uncomfortable in any way.

Booked in for a week, quite surprised how clean and tidy the room was as heard lots of bad reports from people who had stayed here , but I can honestly say this was not the case. Staff were very helpful and friendly food was fine lot's of choice and only a ten minute walk to the beach local shops and restaurants just around the corner. It's not a 5star hotel so don't expect 5 star service all in all, I would recommend this hotel for a cheap all inclusive holiday for the family. Also the bar shuts at 11 so pretty quiet after that.

Room itself has dated decor and wasn't in the best state, laminate puffed up, open wires, bathroom stank of sewage sometimes and AC only in living room bit so other rooms usually really hot. Room does have a proper fridge which is good. Food is just average, better than others on some nights. As for kids, always chips, pasta and a tomato/Bolognese sauce. Pool areas were lovely. However the busier pool I'd known and heard of people/kids getting ear infections. The quiet pool was fine however. The staff themselves are great, and work extremely hard so they're a credit to themselves. Location isn't too bad, nearly plenty of shops and some bars. Beach is about 10 min down the road or a shuttle bus. Overall it's budget but it's not too bad, a nice pool and good staff, but don't expect much - not the fault of the staff. However we wouldn't return again, and this is not because of the staff, but because of the overall state and condition of the hotel.

Sunlight Garden is a good 3 star hotel. Nice rooms (we had two bedrooms and a living room) with balconies. But missing ventilation in the bathroom and it could be cleaner. Hotel is in garden villas, slightly old fashioned - no need for a lift, so very relaxing. We were in a quiet part, no entertainment from the front could be heard. . .

The food is really better than the reviews, especially if you eat Turkish cuisine and not the-very-well-cooked English food.
The staff is extremely friendly and helpful.
Walking distance to the old town and the beach (or small bus 3x a day). Nearby there is a nice and cheap Turkish-Kyrgyz shop where you can buy water and other things.
Share your experiences, help others make the right choice!
