We had a nice week, the rooms are nice, the food was always ok, there was always space, no waiting times for food! The beach is easy to reach! We enjoyed taking part in the morning exercises and at the boggia, where we met nice people
A small, family hotel in a quiet location right on the beach. We had a double room with side. Sea view and were very satisfied. This hotel places great emphasis on cleanliness in all areas
The employees in all areas always do their best to ensure that our guests have a wonderful holiday. Even if you have any requests or problems, we can do it quickly. There is also a mini club and good entertainment for e
Hello
I would like to thank the talia hotel for the ferry quick responce and handeling after the hotel side mare fire okt. its not easy to accomaded 200 people in one morning but you dit
If you want you can eat almost all day long and everyone has to find something tasty here. During the time we were there there were still free loungers
morning exercises, boccia, darts or volleyball. In the evening there is a mini disco, then a very nice water light show and then various evening shows
The beach is excellent: plenty of sunbeds available, soft sand, a gentle entrance into the sea, and a shuttle bus running every 15 minutes from the hotel
Don't know how anyone can possibly complain about the food. The beach, (a 2 minute ride in the free shuttle) is amazing. The beach bar serves beer along with hot and cold soft drinks
Seriously this is a great beach long and sandy and no rocks or stones getting in your way when going for a swim. The rooms are clean and spacious, containing a kettle and mini bar
The beach and pool were just as you'd wish for a relaxing time. I highly recommend it and will definitely return!
You can also have lunch at the beach restaurant, where the food is very good, though for dessert the only option available is fruit. The biggest downside is communication
The pool is nice, although often a bit crowded, and finding a free sunbed can be difficult
No children, quiet area and beautiful beach. The waiters are very attentive and friendly. Jenny as guest supervisor is great too
Friendly and helpful staff, clean room, amazing food
We then realised that despite it stating no towels on loungers around the pool till after 7am that that doesn't happen and seemingly people go out very early indeed
A strange window between the bathroom and main room (although had blinds) didnt entirely protect privacy but no issue to us. The only little annoyance for us was that we had 2 singles pushed together and often came apart
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
The pool bar area is lovely and you can help yourself to bottled water whenever you like. The drinks are strong and there is a huge range :) the food at the pool bar is lovely if you dont fancy the buffet for lunch
This is a really luxurious, spacious and clean resort, with a nice pool area with water slides, access to beach (shuttle every 15 minutes, 5-minute ride) and top-notch service
Today he rudely insulted my wife when she refused him. I absolutely do not recommend his services
Great hotel, great entertainment every day including exercise classes. Always loads of sunbeds by pool or beach. Lovely cocktails ways available. Tea and coffee could be better
Absolutely lovely hotel, everyone is really friendly, the hotel is spotlessly clean, the waitor around the pool is on skates and is really nice, food is really good something for everyone, the corner snack bar does really good pizza and burgers, we went as a group of 12 with 2 kids age 7&4, they loved the slides, the entertainment is really good, i actually cant fault the hotel, the only thing is about...
The hotel seemed to be fully booked, however, the lunch and dinner services ran really smoothly - food was plentiful and varied a little from day to day; everything I tasted was fresh and delicious (maybe the desserts were a bit too sweet); it was always possible to find a table, the tables were cleared super fast and after sitting down with your dish, someone always magically appeared to take the...
We once found a hotel on the internet that we fell in love with. Now we have visited six times and the longest time was 3 weeks. Although the other vacationers are German and the hotel's main language is German
We stayed here to take part in Malaga Marathon and the location was perfect for not only getting to the start line (10 min walk) it was also very central to bars, restaurants, shopping
All very reasonable and they do favour euros so no need for a lot of Turkish Lire. The beach opposite is sandy and a small walk or you can ride a golf buggy style vehicle
Pros:
Large hotel with friendly, attentive service
Beach nearby with shuttle, private beach & beach restaurant
Excellent facilities for children (kinderdisco, kids club, park, activities)
Cons:
Food has a big variety, but the quality isn’t amazing
Only two lifts, which can cause waiting times
Indoor pool water is quite cold
Bedrooms are a bit old, but still comfortable
There isn’t much around...
The location is convenient, with a shuttle to the beach, a beach restaurant, and a private beach area
The shower was the hottest I have ever experienced abroad and very powerful so it made life easier dealing with my long hair. Nothing was too much trouble for the staff at every level
Just returned from an 11 night holiday here and it was a lovely holiday. The hotel is kept really clean even the lifts are checked for cleanliness throughout the day

Went with a friend and our 2 children. The children loved the slides, beach, ice cream, Turkish bath but most importantly the animation team! They went out of their way to make our holiday fun
It' s one of the best sea holiday place in Side Antalya. Beach of the hotel is perfect. People working in hotel are very good. Foods are 😋 delicious. Clean. I advice you to stay.
Great food, great service, friendly staff. Beach is fantastic, rooms are great, slides are fun. Loved every minute we spent here.
Food is really nice,beach is awesome but if you are lucky you can swim as sometimes the is wavy.
The children saw her and many of the others in the team as a friend and were upset to leave! All the staff throughout the hotel were friendly and hard working. The bar staff Aydin and Duge were always helpful
They had a range of activites to get us all involved. Special mention to Morgan, she really went the extra mile to make sure we all had a brilliant holiday
I’m here right now and we’re are having a great time. Our beach assistant is aggressive towards all visitors from other hotels. Today, we had a huge game of volleyball
Lunch at the beach bar is the best with a stunning setting. It’s the hotels own private beach with 100s of sun beds which are free. There is about 45-50 steps from the beach bar down to the beach
Her name is Yasmine, she works to the corner of reception, she is classed as Customer Relations - she has short shaved blonde hair, an older lady & is extremely rude!!! 3 people in our group had to speak to her on different occasions & she was rude to all 3 of us! It did lead to us making a complaint about her
If you want trainers I’d recommend going to the second market in the row & the shop in the middle (next to a huge drinks fridge) is where you will get the best deals. Markets don’t open until 10am but we were there at 9
Maybe 15 of us Germans striking the ball as hard as we could continually into a young family from a neighbouring hotel. We never apologised, after all we’re German so why should we
If you want to save loungers you can not leave towels on them before 7am or security takes them away. I’d highly recommend this hotel. It’s absolutely stunning!!!!!!
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. Just one thing to keep in mind, the average age of the guests is higher than I expected
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. We will definitely come back!
2- Misleading information about taxi prices (the receptionist proposed us "deal" round trip from hotel to Antalya 130euro, regular taxi with taxi-meter charged us 54 euros one way)
3- Misleading information about money exchange (euro to TRL), the receptionist pretended that is not needed and euros are everywhere used, while in many places only Liras were accepted (e
We booked this hotel for 7 nights during the period 4-11 September 2025
There are no clear signs inside the hotel, so finding your way around was frustrating. The beach itself is nice, with a gradual entrance into the sea
On the beach, service was inconsistent and seemed selective depending on where you were from
Some waiters in the restaurant were polite and respectful, and after the first day I managed to figure out where everything was, but overall the hotel felt unfriendly and unwelcoming
One waiter ignored my order for a cocktail, only to bring it half an hour later with a smile, after I had already gone to the bar myself. The food was tasty but extremely repetitive
Meat dishes were varied, but fish was always the same type prepared with different sauces every day. Out of seven days, seafood and sushi were served only once
I also don’t understand the overly positive reviews and the guests who return here year after year; it feels like they simply have no point of comparison
Great atmosphere, not a big entertainment team but enough to keep us occupied for the week, all staff were polite and reasonable, the location is very ideal within a walk
to the beach aswell as local markets and many restaurants
Loved it here and had another great holiday in Turkey. Great beaches, lovely staff and fresh food. Will be back again
First of all, ill start with the negative. Although my stay overall was lovely, The main issue my family had was the rooms. Our shower and our balcony door was broken
Good points : Room was clean and tidy, the maid cleaned everyday Food was great and was always a vegetarian option Beach towels are free to use (collect them from the spa in E block) They upgraded our room free of charge as it wasn’t busy There was snacks between each meal such as salad, fruit, chips, nuggets and burgers Pool was always clean Lovely location, quiet but still things to do About...
We stayed at this hotel in July 2024. Upon arrival, we were checked in quickly, which we appreciated
Since we were on a family vacation, I didn’t mind walking to the lobby for 10 minutes of internet access from time to time. The beach is about a 10-minute walk from the hotel
The sea is clean and the sand is the most pleasant entry into the sea (even from neighboring hotels many swam with us) we found sunbeds without problems both on the beach and by the pool. We liked everything! Thank you
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
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 amazing!😍
There is one (!!) type of sliced cheese that is cut into 6 different varieties and served on 6 different plates to give the impression of a large selection (see pictures). This cheese is terribly tasteless
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

This way, you get beautiful photos and a private excursion in one! The prices are very flexible and affordable. A shuttle bus conveniently takes you to the beach, so you don’t have to worry about transportation
Not only does he take professional photos with great support during the shoot, but he also offers a personalized tour to scenic spots of your choice
There are also various services available at the hotel, one of which we highly recommend – Attila Photographer, located in the hotel yard
Overall, we really enjoyed our vacation at Side Yesilöz Hotel and would definitely recommend it!
Kamran is the best animator. He made my stay in this hotel so much better and funnier. If you feel bored just talk with him!!
Excellent Hotel if you had children. Water slides, great service. Too noisy for us as we like a more relaxed and quieter hotel. The food was excellent
We stayed at this hotel 4-11 September Room 7505. This holiday was most likely our best ever ,even so we are booking again next year. The hotel caters for all nationalities and did not disappoint
Second visit to this lovely hotel. Staff,food,drink and cleanliness are first class. But please,please update the evening entertainment .
Unfortunately a lot of people do put towels on early and take the same beds each day but I feel you may miss out on the whole of the hotel. The hotel was very clean and the staff worked very hard in keeping it clean
We had breakfast in the sunrise restaurant which has everything you could wish for and sometimes they would bring us champagne. Lunch was at the beach bar and dinner at sunset
We took advantage of the alacart restaurant the Italian and the fish service extremely high No need to put towels on sun beds as there are plenty of beds to go round
First of all I would like to thank you for our stay in your beautiful hotel. At first I will be honest I was a little overwhelmed to start with as the main language spoken was German and we felt a little isolated
On the beach sunbeds are also free and are available all the time. There is also a bar with drinks, snacks etc. It was fantastic time in this hotel. We were with 4 yo kid and he was very happy
High-quality service, comfortable hotel room, own restaurant on the beach
It was fantastic 10 days stay in Lilyum. After long trip we had very fast check in a nice atmosphere. The room was clean and nicely decorated. ” version and it was perfect option
Delicious food all day long, drinks from 10-24 on the pool and in the hotel. Sunbeds in the pool are available all day long. There are 3 fantastic water slides. The animation team was excellent
If you are looking for that is rest and relaxation then this is your choice. The beach is 300 metres away, the bus runs continuously
Very polite staff,even they don't speak perfect English,they will do the best to explain everything. They deserve 5star definitely,because we saw the other hotels in Turkey. Special care they show to rhe kids
The reception could be more accommodating, friendlier and smile more please. WiFi is only in the lobby area, you have to pay for rooms and the pool area, no WiFi on the beach
Clean warm and delicious food. Side antik City was near…ın the beach there was a Restaurant too. Waiters were kind and enough waiters
The rooms are fine, although one or two things need to be replaced/replaced. The cleaning of the rooms varies; this depends on the cleaning staff and the time they have available for cleaning
The wellness area is under NEW MANAGEMENT and is not recommended, the lady prefers to sit on her cell phone and play around without noticing that customers are coming
The event room (lower level) for colder weather is very outdated, dark, with no windows, and an old, musty-smelling carpet; it could be renovated more pleasantly
wasn't necessary, as the plates weren't placed the way the boss wanted them. The boss lets himself, his personal guests, and his family be served

The hotel is in a good location. There’s a shuttle bus to the beach which is walking distance and a beach bar. Please note not many activities for children
5 minutes, but it's a blast! It's a 5-7-minute walk to the beach. It's private, with sun loungers, a covered area, and a bar where you can have lunch, refreshments, and more. The staff is incredibly friendly
There is a table and chairs on the balcony, where we had tea after the beach with Turkish delicacies. The balcony was overlooking the pool. Very good food - everything is tasty and varied
Always ready to help, suggest, everyone smiles, remembers your preferences - you come to dinner, and the waiter is already carrying drinks. The beach is nice, umbrellas, sun loungers
It’s impossible to limit yourself, you want to try everything, you go out like a penguin, you barely move your legs)))) During dinner, a large selection of Turkish sweets, it’s just impossible to resist, just a feast of the stomach))) During your stay, you can visit an a la carte restaurant to choose from Italian or Mexican
From alcohol they drank only red wine. Sometimes it was cool, sometimes it was somehow "sour", but you can drink it, I can't say about other drinks - I haven't tried it. The service is very friendly, helpful and humorous
Special thanks to Oguzhan A in the main restaurant!
The cocktails are great, and the entertainment is fun and high-quality. The only disappointment was the two-hour boat trip
Overall, we arrived with no expectations and left fully satisfied. If you can’t feel good here, you won’t feel good anywhere
The stay for 4 people was a nice one, I was impressed by the attention and availability of the employees for any need of the customers (bar/beach bar staff, from cleaning, serving meals, entertainment)
We stayed at the Fulya Hotel from June 7–15, 2024, with friends. We got the sea-view room we had booked
The beach could also be cleaner, as cigarette butts are often found in the sand. I make these criticisms to help improve the service, but overall, it was a very positive experience
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
Private beach, reached by Shuttle or you can walk 5 minutes through the territory of another. Free good Wi-Fi throughout the hotel and in the rooms, it is possible to chat in viber for audio connection
I can only think bad reviews are down to so many different nationalitys ,there was only us and one other English couple there so if u looking to mix with other English couples its probably not for u but overall the hotel is fine , rooms kept clean , pool area spotless , food is ur typical Turkish fare so all depends on what u like to eat can always get nice chicken/tuna salads ,chips etc fresh bread...
Beach area i didn't think much of an could do with a revamp but other than that I couldn't complain. Location is great there is shops an restaurants in any direction u chose to walk
First of all you won't get to speak English in this hotel. Even reception don't know English and they talk to you in German. also any animations that we been to just in German too
A beautiful family hotel in a good location. The facility is well designed. Rooms are big and well decorated. The staff are very friendly and helpful. Food in hotel and beach restaurants are very delicious
The beach is nice and the sunset is stunning. The hotel has great price performance
The stay sas amazing! Hotel staff was friendly, but for me, they spoke little english. They are better in german, which unfortunetaly i do not speak.
The staff is very kind and helpful, the food is delicious and plentiful, there is good entertainment for children. Unfortunately, the room we've got as a family was too small and did not meet our expectations
Thanks to all of the staff from this hotel which made our first stay in Turkey great!!!!!
Everything was perfect, big thumb up to animation team - especially to Hasan and Á la carte restaurant guy Ekrem!!!! Very friendly people and always smiling and talking to us
Stayed there a few months ago and some staff were great while others were ok with their service. The food was good and plentiful but very much the same catering for more European needs
Pros: affordable price, food and nice beach with sunbeds included into the price. Cons: awful coffee, most of the staff don't speak English, no animations fo children, loud music till the late evening
The hotel and beach staff were helpful and accommodating — we would especially like to highlight Hasan at the reception and Fatima from the restaurant
Although beach was having some additional works, and no shops on the beach which I found strange. This was out first time in Turkey but would return
Their reviews speak for themselves. Very professional and accommodating. Knowledgeable and passionate tour guides and very professional and accommodating drivers
I flew to Turkey - Side in mid-March, I stayed at The FUN&SUN SMART Hane Sun Hotel - one of 4 hotels in the area from this company
Would do it again with this company , we did Antalya tour and Pamukkale
10 min walk to beach with all inclusive bar/ eatery or shuttle bus every 15 mins or so. 5 mins to small selection of shops, cash point, pharmacy & covered market. 20 mins other direction to larger area of shops
Pool table on -2 floor but it slants! Table tennis table outside too. Large kids play area, covered baby pool & 3 slides. Not sure why they open them at 3pm & not all day? All in all , a nice break for us
