I would say that this is at least a 4.5 out of 5, we stayed as a family of 3 for a week all inclusive in the October half term. I am an experienced traveler and have been to a variety of hotels, good and bad. I am by no means new to holidays abroad!
Food - I read reviews about how poor the food was before I came out. I have to say that the food has been very good indeed and by no means boring. Could there be a bit more variety? Maybe, but I’d be harsh to knock the food on that basis. 
Drinks - all inclusive are normally local spirits as is the case here. The beer is EFES which is great. There is also a free mini bar in your room with a couple of beers, soft drinks and water in.
Rooms - I am in room 1107 (last day), our room is very nice, well appointed and maintained. The air con appears to be off through the hotel as it is classed as winter. It’s not been required as it has dropped cold at night. The rooms are well worth the money. The safe is also free of charge!
Hotel - it’s very nice, has a large lounge reception and is very clean. It does not appear tired in any way and again appears well maintained. The large outdoor pool is not heated and is freezing! Thankfully there is a smaller heated outdoor pool and an indoor pool. The beach area and beach bar are also a plus but we spend our time around the pool. The other facilities are all very good. Bowling is also decent at 4euro each.
Restaurant(s) - the buffet restaurant gets busy, but you just have to get on with it. It hasn’t been an issue. We have done lunch at the pool side restaurant which has been good and appears to be the best for lunch. I’m booked to go to the Turkish restaurant (tonight). I could not get a table at the other 2 Al a carte restaurants so either book before you go, or on the day of arrival. 
Staff - I think the staff are a credit to the hotel. There’s been the odd member who might have come across as a bit grumpy but in the main, all have been friendly and work really hard!

Overall I’m really happy. It was Halloween while we’ve been here and the hotel went to a lot of effort dressing up the restaurant for this occasion which appeared to be well received by all the guests. If you want a decent trip, I’d recommend it here.

Honest personal experience - staying from 26.10.24 for a week all inclusive

Just returned from a week staying at side star. 2 mums and 4 boys, aged 13,14,18 and 19! Had an amazing time! 
Good points - rooms are clean and spacious with plenty of drawer space. Free safe and mini bar replenished every day which is a huge bonus free of charge. The staff at the bar and restaurants are fabulous, very happy to get you drinks, always smiling! Food is great, maybe not 5 star but there is so much choice and theme nights. We didn’t eat at the beach bar, mainly pool bar for lunch - good for kids, burgers, chips, jacket potatoes, pizza etc. the evening restaurant has so much choice - I advise walking around first before diving in as there are loads of different areas with so much choice, not forgetting the outside grill which can be easily missed. A must is a taxi ride to side old town to watch the sunset as it is beautiful. You can get the bus straight out of the hotel but as there were six of us we tended to take taxis! €45/50 return and the taxi people wait for you. We had no problems getting a lounger before 10 but as normal people put towels down from 7 onwards. I can imagine it to be chaos in peak season. The days are very hot even in October but past 7 it gets a bit chilly so cost, hoodie is needed. The markets near the hotel have some amazing bargains, don’t be afraid to haggle for a good price.
Not so good points - whilst the staff at reception and around the resort are lovely I found the guest relations people very unhelpful, miserable and quite rude. We couldn’t get a late check out which is understandable as the hotel was full and was offered a 20 min slot for 3 in the spa area to get changed etc. however as this is the main locker room for the spa you are not the only people in and there is no privacy! The restaurant on an evening gets very busy with a lot of people dashing about so have your wits about you. The pool was Baltic but persevere once you’re in and you get past the ‘I’m going to freeze’ stage it’s lovely. Be careful of some taxi drivers who can be over friendly - I’ll leave it at that!

First time in Turkey and  Side Star! Fantastic holiday!

We recently stayed at this hotel during Scottish School holidays.

Firstly, I’ll highlight the negatives (very few).  There’s simply not enough sun beds adjacent to the swimming pool.

You need to claim your spot by 7.30am latest to have any chance of a bed.  The first day we went down to the pool after breakfast to find a suitable spot, only to have 2 women break the 100m round the pool dash whilst barging their way past my family and I to literally throw themselves on the beds.
The hotel has signage in place prohibiting guests from placing towels etc on beds….this is ignored by all guests…..I too ignored this instruction for the remainder of my stay.

For those with teens the slides are likely  to be deemed tame but younger guests will have fun.

The hotel rooms themselves whilst spacious could do with a a small upgrade….but I did like the pol / seaside view.

Now, there are plenty of positives too…

Firstly the hotel is only approx 1 hr transfer from Antalya airport and if arriving late you can access food at the hotel.

The hotel staff are great, and never stop….I cannot fault any aspect of the service given and kudos to the animation team who work tirelessly every day,  

I’d especially want to give a shout out to Ergan who works at the beach side bar, great customer service.  I’d highly recommend a late afternoon drink at the at this bar.

The beach is a short stroll through the hotel grounds.  It’s a steep climb back up, so if you have any  walking issues use the hotel shuttle bus.

The hotel has a well covered brach area with plenty of sun beds (guests only), immediately in front of the beach bar, which services food from noon.
The beach itself is clean, and the sea was warmer than the hotel pool.

The best thing about the hotel was the food, it’s tremendous, and the best we have had in Turkey.  So much choice, great quality and changes to the dishes every day.  I’d return just for the food.

The hotel is a good few miles away from Side itself, but there’s a bus service every 15 mins from the front of the hotel into Side for only 2 euro per person, the trip takes 20-25mins.

The old town at Side is very nice but don’t pay to get into the ancient ruins as you get a great few from outside.

If shopping for cheap designer gear is your thing then this hotel is perfectly located near a great market which is a lot better than the shops in Side itself.  
You may want to bring a spare suitcase as you’ll be very tempted at the shops.

In summary, whilst there’s a few wee things I would change at this hotel, esp the sun bed situation, in the main I’d recommend it, the staff and quality of food are big pluses.
  
This hotel and much of Side are very popular with Germans and Eastern Europeans….and Scot’s who like their October tatty week in the sun….weather was perfect every day.

October holidays in the Sun

Arrived 14th October for 2 weeks, this was  our first trip to Turkey and we weren’t disappointed. The hotel is lovely and clean, food was fresh with plenty of choice at buffet. We were lucky enough to try all 3 of the restaurants and they were all very nice & child friendly. 
Lots of entertainment from the animation team throughout the day around pool & shows in the evening were also good and well thought out. 
I would like to give a special mention to ramazan aka Rocky, who is part of the animation team. He was so friendly, and brilliant with both my boys who are 7 & 10 years old. They loved him!! He was so helpful when my nieces phone broke and helped us find a shop to get it fixed in the area. We hope to see him next year when we plan to come back.

Great hotel & we will miss you Ramazan aka Rocky!!

Amazing hotel
Great pool area plenty of sun beds if you can’t find one the little guy will get you some 
Food is amazing plenty of choices even for fussy eater. The theme night are great 
Drink fantastic great choice bar staff are friendly especially Ereycon and Gùlcon always chatty and can’t do enough for you. 
Kidir in the lobby bar was lovely when my nephew was upset made him his own special cocktail he was just a great friend to everyone. 
Big mention to mehmet who was our main waiter look after us nothing was to much. 
Entertainment team great so fun and got you all to join in thank you to rocky (Ramazan) who helped so much when my daughter broke her phone. 
Housekeeping spotless everyday rooms kept clean so happy and smiley 
Would highly recommend this hotel could not find one bad thing.

Fantastic hotel

This is one of the best places I have stayed, the room was huge. We got a family room with two bedrooms. Hotel was spotless, so clean, staff were amazing. Near the beach, own beach bar, heated outdoor pool with slides, the other pool was so cold! Indoor pool great, very out of the way from everything but you can get a bus outside. No issues walking around outside the hotel as a single female with a young child. Shops a short walk away possibly ten minutes or so. Food was delicious and plenty of choice, great price less than £1000 for a family of 3 all inclusive! Would highly recommend this hotel, just bare in mind that it is away from the town and in a quiet location, but this wasn’t an issue for us and we got the bus when we wanted to explore. The little restaurants the did set meals in the hotel were amazing and included in the all inclusive. A few cats and dogs around be careful as they weren’t all friendly, if you left them alone they left you alone. Cat houses and feeding station was great so the cats were taken care of by the hotel.

Excellent hotel
