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
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 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
We arrived late and unfortunately were given a room with a double bed so we’re moved the next morning. That was really a fault when booking that you can’t choose the bed setting
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
Down a lovely little side street it was lovely and quiet at night

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
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.
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
Great food, great service, friendly staff. Beach is fantastic, rooms are great, slides are fun. Loved every minute we spent here.
Fantastic holyday. Excellent hotel. Clean everywere, excellent staff, fenomenal food, everything according to COVID rules.
Entertainment is in German, food predominantly German. Hotel staff are amazing and helpful can’t do enough for you. The Turkish made you feel very welcome
We can really recommend staying in this lovely hotel. The rooms in your own tiny house are super cute and a nice difference to the other hotels in the area which are big and overfilled often
Their beach assistant wasn’t at all aggressive and they all seemed so friendly so we continued to hit the ball at them again and again
I suggest all Germans should come here, it’s great fun as long as you have no shame, which as we all know, we don’t
To be honest I felt like I was intruding in this hotel and felt very uncomfortable by the German guessed
Everything is cleaned up and the Personal is very helpful and friendly. The surrounding to the hotel is great. You can walk to the old side village in about 10 minutes with all its beauty and history
Our stay was lovely overall! Lovely clean rooms, nice and relaxed atmosphere by the pool. The entertainment, especially the shows on the romance bar were great
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
The hotel is beautifully maintained, with clean and comfortable rooms that are replenished daily, and the overall atmosphere is so peaceful and relaxing
Nothing wrong with it, but if you are looking for an adults only hotel with a lot of young people, this might not be the place
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
And very well organised individual with such a lovely helpful and welcoming team. Overall I would highly recommend anyone Togo to linda resort and enjoy the holiday with the welcoming and friendly hospitality service
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
The sea is slightly wavy but very clean. The town of Side is only a 10-minute drive away. I highly recommend visiting the sights there, especially in the evening when the atmosphere is particularly charming
Their passion and enthusiasm made my stay incredibly enjoyable – a huge thank you to the entire team!
The beach is just a 10-minute walk away, or you can take the regular shuttle service from the hotel
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 he was so helpful and he guided us to get involve with the activities that was going on daily
They cleaned the rooms each day, they also refilled the minibar as well and created some animal formats from towels
Each evening there was a presenter or a show, which was located in the hotel area, and things like karaoke, concerts, and acrobatic presentations in the pool
We've been to this hotel many times in the past years and the experience is always wonderful! Excellent services, especially the waiters, cleaners, kitchen staff, gardeners, security staff and pool maintenance workers
The staff was really helpful, particularly a woman called Sevilay, she helped a lot in the restaurant area, even though we didn't know the language perfectly
Service at the lounge or on the beach bar was perfect with Abdullah a nice guy always smiling and good humor Entertainment was great at the day time all international music was played with different activities such as darts with Chacha a great lad who speaks german english and russian fluently and giving positive vibes to everyone
two wardrobes and a coffee set with kettle changed everyday. housekeeping staff were always on time Food was delicious warm with variety of choice. breakfast buffet also rich of fruit and pancakes
The hotel is clean and well-maintained, with a beautiful garden and two swimming pools. One of the pools has water slides and is suitable for children, which is a nice bonus for families
The pool areas are also quite nice and if you believe there is a lack of slides, there is a water park right next to to it!
Overall, great stay
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
The food is tasty, although the selection tends to repeat after a few days. Drinks available throughout the day from the dispensers are overly sweet and have an artificial taste
As is common in Turkey, the fridge only contained small plastic cups with very little water — in the summer heat, you might need several just to stay hydrated
The next morning, we requested a different room and, for an additional fee, were moved to one with a balcony located above the restaurant
The rooms and pools are just outstanding! If I have to point a finger at something negative (not so negative) the old bus that drives to the beach doesn’t represent the hotel standard and the pump at the corner bar door could use a fix as it had an annoying sound
Guests really should show a bit more respect after a certain hour and be quieter! The rooms were also not cleaned very well. Dirt was left lying on the floor and mopping did not happen during our stay
We stayed for a week with friends at this hotel, which is very well located. Check-in went very smoothly thanks to a very friendly receptionist, who give an explanation of how everything worked
We had a family room with 2 separate areas, the room itself was spacious. However, the rooms are very noisy and you can hear everything from the neighbors or when someone walks in the hallway
We do want to say that the majority of the staff were very attentive and friendly! Despite the hotel's favorable location, we had a less-than-ideal experience in Side for the first time
The restaurant was too small for the number of guests (and it's not even high season), so it sometimes took a long time to find a seat
The hotel was brilliant and the Hotel Manager Hakan was absolutely fantastic
We had a hiccup with the room on the first night and he made sure we had a wonderful holiday by checking in regularly, and even helping with the restaurant bookings to make our holiday so memorable
There was a small minority of staff who seemed to prefer the German Guests and could be quite rude at times. Overall this is a lovely hotel with very good service, the cleanliness of the hotel cannot be faulted
Workers are friendly. The foods are great. The room is clean everyday new towels. The roombar is everyday filled in. The surroundings are good. The hammam and massages are fantastic. Its 10/10.
Dilan on Guest Relations was extremely helpful and couldn’t do enough to ensure we had a lovely holiday We found the majority of staff very welcoming and they provided a very good level of customer service
I stayed at this hotel with my two sisters for 17 days in September 2025. Our special requests prior to arrival were all met to our satisfaction so cannot fault attention to detail
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
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
There was never any more choice. If you like cheese, this is not the place for you. The sausage is also not worthy of a 5-star hotel. The breakfast is rather disappointing for a German palate
The beach with its own sun loungers and the beach bar right next to it are great. When it comes to food, things get tricky. Every meal has some tasty items, but also some really bad ones
The building is new and impressive, the rooms are large, and the beds are very comfortable. The waiters mix very good cocktails with proper proportions

Nice and helpfull service, good meals, many animations, pool with 5 slidings, atractive price according the offer. I could recommended for families with children.
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
A warm place with friendly people with good food and many sweets where you will feel pampered. Where you will be able to take a Turkish bath and a massage in which you will be reborn
Very nice hotel but the Hamam staff made it so nice Sridah, Mustafa, Marina, and vova were all wonderful and Mustafa really knows what he's doing great masseuse
Everything is fine there are no questions, the animation is at the highest level, the service is good no questions were met well, we arrived at 01:20Am We didn’t have time for dinner, but we were fed, although we arrived quite late and immediately allocated a room
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
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
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 fitness area is a disaster, it's better to stay there on holiday if you're not into sports
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
We stayed for a week in this Hotel, I was really very satisfied. There was a children's Playground directly next to the Pool
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
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
Excellent service, better than in Russian-speaking hotels. The hotel specializes in Germans.

Amazing, helpful and friendly staff. Not a massive resort but a definitely a large hotel with great facilities like a heated pool, Hammam spa and gym. It was a quiet hotel which is great for relaxing
Since the sea is still cool in April, this did not stop the swimmers, but the hotel has an indoor heated pool. The outdoor pool is not heated, but people swam there too
There's a small pool with slides on site, but it was perfect for us with a 3. The slides are open from 2:00 PM to 5:00 PM. The restaurant offers a varied menu every day, catering to every taste
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
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
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
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), etc
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
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
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
I would like to mention that this hotel is very nice inside, the rooms are spacious, there are more beds, the pool and deckchairs within the hotel are great, the pool is beautiful and has very nice greenery around it, women clean the rooms every day, but not exactly as clean as it should be, the bed linen is not changed as often, the terraces are not cleaned as they should be! As for the food, the...
Customer relations manager Daria is always ready to step in and solve any issue promptly. The pool is large, safe, and enjoyable, with different shows and activities every day
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...
Take Euro's if you can as the whole area in Side, seems to use that currency. Pool area is good, clean and we used it daily, as is the beach area. Food is the main issue, with repetitiveness of choice, the biggest issue
Rooms were cleaned nearly every day but once they didn't give us any toilet paper and left us with one towel. Also we used two blankets but after cleaning they left us only one
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 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
Turkish night on Monday was excellent. No shortage of variety food and cakes. Great view from balcony included. We had the best room from whole hotel. The swimming pool was clean and water inside always refreshing
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
As minor downsides, we found the entertainment programs to be quite loud (though most were very interesting), and we missed having designated non-smoking seating (tables) around the pool
We had an all-inclusive stay, which included four meals and an afternoon snack/day, drinks (both alcoholic and non-alcoholic), sauna and pool. The hotel has thematic evenings (karaoke, dance etc), if one is interested
There were a full range of activities for small and big children, from sunrise to sunset :) "Fun and sun" is a totally deserved name ! Another big plus of this hotel, beside its all staff, is the delicious food
Their reviews speak for themselves. Very professional and accommodating. Knowledgeable and passionate tour guides and very professional and accommodating drivers
Big shout out to young lady who makes the omelettes. Always smiling, great Chef! Pool area & outside dining all great. Little shop selling essentials by pool. I forgot flip flops so purchased from here
Would do it again with this company , we did Antalya tour and Pamukkale
My partner enjoyed the soup every day. I loved the purple coloured bread (beetroot perhaps?) The waiters & waitresses keep the restaurant immaculate. Some guests don't appear to have table manners making their job harder
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
The restaurant manager Ahmet along with his team ran a very well oiled machine in that the food was always replenished with lots of lovely choices from morning breakfast through to evening meal
and its earn its 5 stars
yes its not new and yes its not right on the beach. the food and the team is outstanding. and better than most even more expensive competitors
The hotel itself was very clean and well situated for the beach and other tourist attractions!! It is approx 1 hour transfer from the airport
My young son especially enjoyed the large pool!! The guest relations manager Zeynel (forget his surname) for myself and family along with other families we met found him to be helpful with anything we needed, he always seemed to be about making sure all guest were happy, ok and enjoying themselves, nothing seemed to be too much trouble for him, my young son especially took to him and was asking each...
During our stay we mainly stayed around the pool, we did use the hotel bus to the beach which is great but, we enjoyed the entertainment during the day and found Mona and her team were busy and tried to involve all guests in the different activities which were great
I certainly would recommend this hotel and would 💯 return, our only negative is that unfortunately, we found the reception manager Ali and his team didn’t smile and were not very helpful, even to order a taxi seemed too much trouble !! All in all great hotel, with everything you needed, definitely value for money
It has been for us the best holiday ever. Great location, clean sandy beach, fantastic hotel, food&drinks, service, amazing staff. I will never forget this holiday in Villa Side Hotel - Kümkoy Beach - Turkey
The food both in the hotel and on the beach is good, you can always find something for every taste. The hotel has a big selection at every meal. The drinks (local alcohol) are okay for a 4 star hotel
What really makes this hotel stand out is the team that works there. They are kind, attentive and always willing to help with anything you need. They make you feel like family and make your stay even more special
The sandy beach is about a 5 minute walk or with the shuttle and is beautiful. The sea is clean and clear and there are enough free loungers for everyone
Some of the rooms also need to be renovated; you can see the age of the building in places like door frames, cupboards, shower cubicles and exhaust fans
However, the rooms facing the street are not recommended; the windows are very thin and you can constantly hear the street next to the hotel
