Side Star Resort Hotel

Honest review – Things I wish I knew before staying at Side Star Resort: Rooms & Housekeeping: Room cleanliness could definitely be improved. Housekeeping frequently forgot to restock basic amenities like shampoo, cotton swabs, and makeup remover pads. Food & Dining: The food was good overall, though a bit repetitive after a few days. The kebab meat was very delicious—I just wish they served it more often! Bars & Drinks: The bars tend to get quite crowded, and the drinks are not high quality. Beach & Water: The sea water is clean, though it isn't crystal clear. Service & Staff: Waiters were often too busy to clear tables promptly. A bit more attention to detail from the service staff would make a big difference. Overall: A decent stay, but nothing wow.

🌟 Side Star Resort: A Truly Exceptional Family Stay From the moment we booked, the communication was outstanding. The hotel team ensured we had everything we needed, including a cot for our youngest and a smooth arrangement for our family of five (2 adults and 3 children) even though we were placed in a 4‑guest family room. Their flexibility and understanding set the tone for a fantastic stay. I want to give special recognition to the lady receptionist on the evening of Friday, 14 August. She was incredibly professional, patient, and kind while helping me resolve a payment issue after I realised I had left my physical bank cards at home. She went above and beyond to sort it out, and to top it off, she arranged two strollers for us free of charge. Her humility and dedication truly stood out, huge kudos to her. To our surprise, we were allocated a beautiful sea‑view family room in the main building, featuring two interconnected rooms and a stunning central view of the pool and the sea. The room was spotless, housekeeping was consistently excellent, and the minibar, restocked daily with drinks including beer, was a great touch. We checked in around 10 pm and were delighted to find the late‑night snack station open, offering plenty of food options. Once again, thanks to the brilliant receptionist for pointing us in the right direction. 🍽 Food & Facilities • The main buffet offered great variety and quality. • Snacks at the pool bar and beach bar were top‑notch. • Even if some dishes repeat over longer stays, there is still more than enough choice. • Our kids enjoyed everything — from breakfast to dinner and all the snacks in between. 🏖 Family-Friendly Highlights • The swimming pool with slides was the kids’ favourite. • Easy stroller access to the private beach made life so much easier. • The kids’ playground with water pad was another hit. • Evening entertainment was enjoyable for both adults and children, we especially loved the Medusa dance show. • The resort is surrounded by lush greenery, creating a peaceful, relaxing atmosphere. • The chill‑out zone overlooking the beach is a perfect spot for sunrise and sunset. 👏 Staff & Service Every staff member we encountered was friendly, professional, and genuinely welcoming. Their commitment to guest comfort is evident in every detail. ⭐ Final Thoughts We had a truly pleasant and tranquil stay with excellent value for money. For families, especially those with young children, this hotel is a perfect choice. Side Star Resort made our holiday an unforgettable experience, and we cannot thank the entire team enough.

We had an unforgettable stay at Side Star Hotel in Side, Turkey, at the beginning of April, when we came as a small family group to celebrate my nephew’s birthday. From the moment we arrived, we experienced wonderful hospitality, delicious food and genuine care from the entire team. The hotel provides everything you need for a comfortable and relaxing stay, but what really makes this place special is the people. A very special thank you to the whole team — from the housekeeping staff, who kept our rooms spotless, comfortable and welcoming, to the wonderful waiters, who were exceptionally attentive to our whole family and especially to our youngest guest. You could truly see how much care and effort everyone puts into their work. What impressed us most was the personal approach. They don’t treat you simply as a hotel guest — they make you feel like a close friend or even a member of the family. We left with wonderful memories and a feeling of genuine warmth and appreciation. Thank you to the entire Side Star Hotel team for making our family celebration so special. We would be delighted to return and stay with you again. Highly recommended! Ayna Feshin.

We've just come back from a 5 night stay at this hotel, 2 adults and 2 children. Although admittedly the hotel is not withing walking distance of anywhere and taxis or transfers are needed to go just about anywhere which was a bit of a drag but despite that we all truly enjoyed our stay here. Everywhere was very clean and well looked after, the mini bar in the room was always stocked up, the food was really tasty and between all the bars and restaurants we could always find something to eat (and our son is the definition of a picky eater!!!) But the highlight of our stay was the staff! They were so incredibly friendly and attentive! Nothing was ever too much trouble and they all always had a smile on their face but the thing that impressed me the most was that none of them were ever stood still, they were all always doing something whether it was clearing tables or taking drinks orders or even just mopping the floors they were always making sure the place was spotless and I really did appreciate that the most! All in all a lovely hotel with amazing staff and even with it's out of the way location we would be back just due to them!!

I have just got back from a great 11 days holiday at this lovely hotel. The food is amazing, especially the lunchtime buffet next to the pool. Staff are super friendly and go out of their way to make sure that you have everything you need. The staff also work very hard to make sure everything around the hotel is super clean. Top tip from my daughter - bring plenty of cat treats for super cute friendly cats!
