Marvida Family Eco

Our stay at Marvida Eko Family Hotel exceeded all our expectations. From the moment we arrived, we felt genuinely welcomed and at home. The hotel was spotless, the food was delicious with a great variety, and every member of the staff was friendly, attentive, and always willing to help. It is an excellent choice, especially for families with children, offering a relaxing, comfortable, and enjoyable holiday. We would also like to give a special thank you to the photography team. They were incredibly professional, kind, and passionate about their work. They made us feel comfortable throughout the photo session and captured our happiest moments in the most natural and beautiful way. The final album and photos were absolutely stunning and far exceeded our expectations. We are truly grateful for these priceless memories that we will cherish for many years. We highly recommend both Marvida Eko Family Hotel and its amazing photography team, and we would love to come back again.

Second year in a row for us at Marvida Family Eco and once again we had a great family holiday. We stayed in two standard rooms and one family room, and everything went smoothly throughout the stay. One thing we really appreciated was that it was never difficult to find sunbeds around the pool, even during busy hours. There was food and drinks available all day long, with themed buffets and several à la carte restaurants offering plenty of variety. The kids club is excellent as well, and our 5-year-old daughter really enjoyed the activities. The real added value of the hotel for us is definitely the “Barvida”, the adults-only bar area. It’s calm and relaxing, with more premium cocktails that are better prepared, better served and nicely presented. Even though last year’s mixologist is no longer there, the young woman replacing him is extremely friendly and makes very good cocktails too. Our biggest highlight this year was the lady giving swimming lessons for children. Unfortunately, our daughter could only attend one session because the schedule gets fully booked very quickly, but she absolutely loved it. We could already see real progress after just 30 minutes of lessons. A huge thank you to her for the confidence she gave our daughter in the water. This is truly a great added value for the hotel. We may come back again next year!

We stayed at the Marvida for 10 days in August 2026 as a family of 4, and overall the experience was brilliant. Food & Drink The food was excellent, really tasty with a wide range of options across the hotel. The Turkish à la carte restaurant was the standout dining experience of our whole stay, and Muhammed's service there was exceptional. The snacks were great and the drinks were even better. We loved that cocktails were included in our package, and having the bar open 24 hours was a brilliant touch. The coffee bar deserves a special mention too. On our last trip to Antalya, the hotel we stayed at didn't offer oat milk, so having good quality oat milk available at the Marvida felt like such a thoughtful touch. The barista (I never caught his name) was fantastic and remembered my order every single day. My husband was a big fan of the patisserie too, especially the cheesecake, chocolate cake, and baklava. Entertainment The entertainment team were the crème de la crème of our stay, genuinely the highlight of the holiday. The pool parties were a huge hit with the whole family, the Mr. Marvida show was hilarious and brilliantly put together, and the neon party with dancers had everyone up and dancing. The Mongolian acrobatics were seriously impressive, a real "how did they do that" moment for the kids and adults alike. There was live music throughout our stay that added such a great atmosphere in the evenings, and the bubble show was a magical touch that the little ones especially loved. The pool games kept everyone entertained and laughing every single day. Every member of the team was brilliant, but Angela in particular was exceptional: friendly, talented, and clearly great at her job. Fathi was also amazing and he always took the time out to chat with us! This team alone would bring us back. Cleanliness The whole hotel was spotless. Housekeeping was thorough and consistent throughout our stay, and the minibar was restocked daily without fail. We never went without anything. Spa It's become a tradition for us to get a Turkish bath and massage whenever we're in Turkey, and the Marvida's spa was exceptional, so exceptional I booked it twice during our stay. Biran was lovely to deal with, never pushy about upselling treatments, and friendly throughout. I'd recommend the spa to anyone staying here. Room for improvement The room we stayed in could do with some updating and refreshing. On the food side, the sushi à la carte could use a rethink, especially the noodle soup. The sushi itself was nice, but portions were quite small. Overall, a fantastic 10 days as a family, and we'd happily come back.

🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Outstanding Photography Experience During our stay at the Marvida Family Eco Hotel in Side, we had the pleasure of working with the in-house photographer, and the experience was nothing short of excellent. The photographer was professional, friendly, and made us feel completely at ease throughout the session. Their eye for detail and ability to capture natural, genuine moments truly stood out. The photographs themselves were of exceptional quality — vibrant, well-composed, and full of character. Each image perfectly reflected the atmosphere of our holiday and gave us memories we’ll cherish for years to come. It was clear that both skill and passion went into every shot. We couldn’t be happier with the service and the final results. Highly recommended for anyone visiting the hotel who wants to take home beautiful, lasting memories.

The staff is friendly. The rooms were big and clean. The pools were big enough and there are at least 3 kids pools. I liked that the sunbeds were not crowded and most of them were placed in the shade, both at the pool and on the beach. The beach is located at about 7-10min walk from the hotel, but there is also a free shuttle service. The beach/pool towels were free of chaege. The food is good, with lots of choices and different themes every night. We really enjoyed the daily activities offered by the entertaiment staff. Make sure to pack all you need from home as the shops inside the hotel are quite expensive (for example 18 euros for a pair of the most basic water glasses). We really enjoyed our stay here and we had a great time.
