Guest Reviews
- Artem (10/5): - Отель отличный, персонал внимательный и дружелюбный, огромный выбор еды хорошего качества, достойные напитки, собственный пляж с хорошим заходом в воду. Раньше к отдыху "всё включено" относился скептически, но после этого отеля поменял своё мнение. Не пожалеете.
- Valentina (10/5): -
- alit76 (8/5): Lovely Stay, Few Minor Issues - Stayed in a swim-up room at Side Star Elegance—beautiful, very clean, with excellent food and drinks available 24/7. Most staff are friendly, though a few asked for spare coins, and the mini fridge wasn’t initially stocked. Despite some steps and occasional rude guests, we loved it and would return.
- SVITLANA (10/5): - Відпочинок у Side Star Elegance залишив дуже приємні враження. Цікава архітектура та красивий дизайн створюють особливу атмосферу елегантності й затишку. Персонал дуже уважний і привітний, завдяки чому почуваєшся бажаним гостем.
Кухня смачна й різноманітна, усе свіже та гарно подане. В останні дні були невеликі шорсткості з прибиранням, але загального враження від відпочинку це не зіпсувало.
Elegance дійсно відповідає своїй назві — стильний, атмосферний і комфортний готель, до якого хочеться повернутися. Все добре
- 168janiceh (10/5): Spring break - Another wonderful holiday at our favorite hotel, once again the hotel gave us everything we could want from a two week break. We are regular visitors to this hotel and are always welcomed back by all staff members and it's amazing they even remember what you drink.Whatever time of year you visit the food is always of high standard and the Turkish dishes are always enjoyable .Most members of staff have a good command of English even though the larger majority of guests are German. The cleaning team do a wonderful job and work tirelessly to keep everything clean and tidy. The outside areas are landscaped to a high standard and a wonderful team of gardeners work tirelessly to keep everything neatly pruned. The hotel although on several levels does provide space to accommodate all guests even on days when the weather is bad. Some guests say rooms are a little dated but every visit we notice upgrading to different areas. Thank you for fulfilling our request for block 3 can't wait to return for Octoberfest. Ahmed and Janice
- 629irat (10/5): Massage - Spa was excellent, I had there the best massage of my life. Treatment by Sema was perfect, she was very professional and polite. I highly recommend her!
- Florian (9/5): Établissement exceptionnel que je recommanderai à mes proches ! Bravo - Tout était parfait, personnel agréable, établissement bien tenu, et très bien positionné. La décoration des buffets est au top, les plats sont variés. Tout le monde y trouve son compte. Le manque d’information sur les activités, l’établissement est grand et nous sommes livrés un peu à nous même, aucun texte traduit en français, à part 1 ou 2 personnes, personne ne parle français. La porte fenêtre ne notre chambre ne fermait pas, le mitigeur du jacuzzi était dur à basculer en mode douche ou robinet. Dans les smoothie du matin, je n’aimait pas les épluchures et les pépins qui étaient présent, du coup imbuvable… Bien que la présentation des buffets soit exceptionnellement belle, la qualité des ingrédients n’est pas terrible… par exemple j’aurais aimé pouvoir manger du kunefe. On dirait qu’on impose un choix des ingrédients ou un choix de qualité assez faible… difficile à dire… mais cela dit c’est un établissement qui vaut le détour. Pour quelqu’un comme moi qui dort souvent à l’hôtel et qui est du métier, je reconnais le travail effectué. Et franchement la barre à franchir est celle d’une meilleure qualité gustative et j’insiste sur ce point. Lorsque ce n’est pas bon, les gens ne mangent pas et le gaspillage doit être énorme.
- Daniel (8/5): -
- lizd638 (10/5): Perfect bit of spring sunshine - Made a booking based on reviews and price at the time and not disappointed.

- ambrockett (10/5): Fantastic, we will be returning! - Absolutely amazing hotel. We came here with our three children, 2, 9 and 12 years old. Our friends who were staying at another hotel actually moved to our hotel. We couldn't fault the hotel at all. Everything you could wish for. Food and drinks are wonderful, so much choice. The staff are so attentive, kind and caring. When we arrived we had a land view and asked if we could upgrade and they did this immediately without hesitation. They truly want you to have a wonderful time and will do anything for you to make that possible. Already looking at returning! 10/10 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
- adsnsue (10/5): Another amazing stay. - Another amazing stay at the hotel. The hotel is incredible. Very clean and food is great. Shout out to the animation team. Would strongly recommend.
- B6431YFrichardc (10/5): Unforgettable Stay with an Amazing Animation Team! 🎉 - We had an amazing stay at this hotel! Everything was clean, comfortable, and well-organized. A special thanks to the animation team — they were absolutely fantastic! Their energy, friendliness, and fun activities made our holiday unforgettable. They kept both kids and adults entertained all day and night. We truly enjoyed every moment thanks to them. Highly recommended, and we would love to come back again!
- taratD6133EU (10/5): An amazing holiday thanks a lot to entertaintment - The hotel provided a very comfortable and enjoyable stay overall. The rooms were clean, well-maintained, and the staff was friendly and helpful throughout our visit. The facilities met our expectations and created a relaxing atmosphere.
A special mention goes to the animation team were absolutely fantastic! Their energy, creativity, and engaging activities made the experience even more memorable. They truly added a fun and lively spirit to the hotel, and we really appreciated their effort in keeping guests entertained.
Overall, it was a great experience, and we would definitely consider coming back again.
- Wander04378993241 (10/5): An unforgettable stay the Animation Team is world-class! - We are currently enjoying the last day of our holiday, and we are already sad to be leaving. While the hotel facilities, rooms, and food have been excellent, the heartbeat of this resort is undoubtedly the Animation Team.
From day one, they transformed a "good" vacation into an extraordinary one. Their energy is absolutely infectious, yet they have a wonderful way of being engaging without ever being pushy.
What made the difference for us:
• The Atmosphere: They create a sense of community around the pool and beach that makes everyone feel welcome.
• The Activities: Whether it was the morning stretches, water gym, or the afternoon games, the team kept us moving and laughing.
• Evening Entertainment: The shows have been high-quality and full of talent. You can tell how much hard work goes on behind the scenes.
What stands out most is their genuine kindness. They don’t just do their jobs; they truly care that every guest is having a great time. They remembered our names and always stopped for a chat, making us feel like more than just a room number.
Verdict: If you are looking for a fun, high-energy, and friendly atmosphere, look no further. We are leaving with great memories and will definitely be back. Huge thanks to the whole animation crew for making our stay so special!
- LoveTravel303872 (10/5): Fabulous hotel with a lovely kids club - We’ve had a wonderful stay at the Side Star Elegance. The hotel is great for families. The kids club is brilliant. Lots of great activities and the staff are brilliant with the kids. We’ve been here over Easter and they’ve done face painting, egg painting, egg hunts, treasure hunts. My daughter loves the mini disco in the evening and then there is an hour of fun from 9-10pm in the mini club. We’ve been so impressed with the staff particularly Merve and Zeynep. They have been very so attentive and kind towards our children (ranging from 10-2 years old). We’d definitely recommend here if you have kids.
- 2xhappy (10/5): Consistently great. - The Side star elegance continues to be a fine holiday hotel. Over the years that we have visited, it is apartment, in most cases, that the hotel is managed consistently well. The friendly welcoming smile and welcoming from exceptional staff, together with everything that is offered at this wonderful holiday destination.
Highly recommended.
Thank you.
- poodlesScotland (10/5): Side Star Elegence - Central location - We stayed end of March into April, hotel was lovely, plenty of bars to have a drink, places to eat. Pretty much something available 24 hours a day.
Staff are helpful and friendly, a credit to the hotel and make the experience better.
Top pool is heated, its small and it would be ideal if they heated the other half as it gets very busy on nice days.
Room was nice, jacuzzi bath was a nice extra.
They are looking after the cats, have a donation box at guest relations for donations to help care for the cats and provide vetinary care. Most of the cats I saw were neutered which is good to see. They have a feeding station for them in the grounds.
A la carte can be booked between 10 and 12 at guest relations. Book early for the rest of your holiday.
Dolmus will stop outside of hotel. Easy to get about.
- 885denm (10/5): A great welcome by so many of the team. - We have been made welcome on all our visits. Very impressed with the service and exceptional skills of the staff.
We will return!
- saraheA6325JB (10/5): Lovely hotel great amenities - Stayed for 10 days in the jacuzzi room. Room was excellent value, very clean with good amenities.
There are various bars on site, but not all were open due to the rime of year. The ones that were open had great international drinks and cocktails. The main barman at Time out bar was outstanding. He remembered everyone's drinks and served really quickly in a friendly manner. Cocktails were pretty good!
The heated pool was lovely and work, and there were plenty of sunbeds throughout.
The food was excellent, in particular thw Turkiah alacarte and Turkish night. Great choice throughout the whole 24 hours.
Entertainment was as expected for this time of year. Location great for a 20 min stroll to Side old town.
Would definitely stay there again, thanks for a lovely stay!
- V1673WCchrisw (10/5): Amazing Stay with Fantastic Entertainment - We had a fantastic holiday and truly enjoyed our stay at the hotel. Everything was well organized, the atmosphere was welcoming, and the staff were friendly and helpful throughout.
A special mention goes to the animation team their shows were entertaining, energetic, and fun for all ages. They really added something extra to our evenings and made the experience even more memorable.
Overall, it was a great holiday, and we would happily return again!
- traceyhK2909WQ (10/5): Superb Hotel! - This is our 8th time at this hotel, and we just love it more! The staff are the very best, so friendly, efficient & amazing! I have worked in the aviation industry for 42 years & stayed in many hotels, this rates amongst the very best. Lovely rooms, great food, but the staff absolutely make our holiday the very best. We cant wait to come back again in November! Well done Side Star Elegance 🌟

- lynnwI7650RB (10/5): This is Lynda honeys review - Brilliant hotel as always waiters on all bars can not do enough big shout out to the entertainment team higher up management need to take a leaf out of the hotel staff and entertainment team they do all the work a hello now and again would be nice even you get a hello from the chefs in the restaurants but there bosses look down on them if it was not of your staff please please praise all of your staff please do not abuse them you have a lovely hotel but please big bosses look after you team will be returning again tell.
- 322huseyinc (10/5): High recommended - We stayed at Side Star Elegance Hotel for a week and had a great experience overall. The hotel is very clean, the staff are friendly, and the food is good with plenty of variety. It’s in a nice location, and the hotel itself is quite large—you really need a few days to fully explore everything it has to offer.
There are lots of seating areas throughout the hotel, and several bars spread across different levels, all with plenty of space to relax and enjoy.
The only criticism I would mention is that our room was next to a dual carriageway, which made it quite noisy at times.
One suggestion: there are some large French words displayed on the reception walls (you can’t miss them!), and it would be nice to have a small explanation or plaque explaining their meaning. Also, there is a large statue of Alexander the Great, which made us curious about its connection to the area—some information about this would be really interesting for guests.
Thanks
- B9727URpaulg (8/5): My usual honest Reviews - The staff are by far the biggest sellers of this hotel
Etakan in time out bar was amazing
He knew everybody's drinks always with a smile 😃
We have been here 3 times different times of year this is off season so don't expect the quantity you would get on season
No water slides No pool restaurant
Entertainment terrible
All done in conference room
Outside area not finished
Hence the price
My advice book high season
You will not be disappointed
Plenty of choice with food which is available all day
The only criticism is breakfast
We all like a cooked omelette
Unfortunately there was only one person making them on one ring
The queue was ridiculous
Get a grip Elegance an easy fix
- suewV9168PX (10/5): Amazing hotel - We are coming to the SIDE STAR ELEGANCE Hotel and we love it!!!
Such an amazing time every day with animation programs, evening dances or love music.
The restaurant is selection, tasty and delicious!
All the staff is friendly and they are helpful.

- jandurham60 (10/5): 80th Birthday celebration - Have just returned from another wonderful two week holiday at the side Star Elegance . We are regular visitors to this hotel and we don't look anywhere else as this hotel gives us everything we could wish for in a holiday. This year even the weather was perfect for our two week stay. Every time we visit the hotel has made improvements and they do listen to guests comments .All staff have a good command of English and the number of British guests is increasing .The entertainment will suite all age groups . The food is always high quality and deserts are exceptional. even the fussiest eaters would find something to eat . Will be returning soon.
- W3778ABshaunm (10/5): Perfect - Everyone has been wonderful the staff are fantastic, the food is exceptional and we will definitely be back next year. I would like to mention a few staff who have been outstanding and so good with our special needs son William..The waiters Ahmet,Ali,Husyeh. The room cleaner Huru, and Sefa from the entertainment team.
- Passenger66666175506 (10/5): Amazing hotel *****🥰 - Yet another amazing holiday at the Side Star Elegance, on arrival we were greeted with a smile and our luggage was taken to our room. This is our 6th stay at this hotel and we honestly wouldn't consider going anywhere else. We were in room 1258, we arrived early in the morning and initially were a bit disappointed, in June 2024 we were upgraded to a family suite and I think this spoiled us, however when we saw our view in the morning we were happy with it. However if we had a room a couple of floors up our view would have been amazing. We were central to everything. The staff were there usual friendly and courteous selves. They go out of there way to help you. The cleaner keeps your room spotless and the mini bar is stocked everyday. The cleanliness within the hotel is second to none. Special shout out to Mustafa in the dining room and Muharren at reception. The only down side this year are the children on the scooters in the hotel itself. There are a lot of elderly in the hotel and its just a matter of time before someone gets hurt. This however will not stop us returning and we hope to be back in June.
- eidorb (10/5): Another Fantastic Holiday - My wife and myself have just returned from our fourth visit to the Side Star. We keep returning - like many others- because of the ambiance, the staff and the food.
The staff are so happy to serve you . They are always polite and courteous. They remember what tea/coffee you like in the morning and drinks in the evening..
Room service was great and our room was always made up before lunch. The mini bar was restocked when necessary on a daily basis.
We loved the location of the hotel as it looked directly onto its own private beach area which had plenty of sunbeds. There are a number of pools to relax at and one adults only.
Side Old Town is a 30 minute walk along the promenade or you can take a local bus or taxi. The walk is very pleasant.
We want to thank Krystyna the Guest Relation Manager who went out of her way to accommodate our request regarding rooms.
We cannot praise the staff and the hotel highly enough and we cant wait to return next year.
- 908aideenw (10/5): Beautiful hotel - Beautiful hotel. We are here in the office season but still so much to do and excellent entertainment, especially for the children. Merve has been excellent with my 3 year old.
- McNally65 (10/5): Fantastic - The animation team are unreal and merve is amazing, fantastic and really genuine with the kids and parents. Great hotel
- stuietravels (6/5): Great hotel but lacks character. - At first glance this is a marvellous hotel. But it is a labyrinth of hidden features.
The location is great. A nice part of the beach is available exclusively to guests. It is a good walk down to it but well worth the effort, and the bars and food stalls there are great. There are also local shop with friendly shopkeepers.
The restaurant, although seemingly well stocked and an abundance of colour. But the food feels like the same thing as very day. After 4 days I stopped going, preferring instead the early evening pizza and salad. Get to the restaurant early. Don’t be fooled by the ‘late’ breakfast and dinner. You’re basically getting what is left of bile the staff close the restaurant down.
The bars are good, the drink is plentiful.
Service is ok, polite and to your table. Better service comes from tipping, which the staff are happy to ask you to do.
The rooms are clean, well equipped and with a spacious balcony. A mini bar is there and tea and coffee facilities. Initially well stocked although seemingly forgotten about the longer your stay goes on. Not that you miss out, there are drink a plenty in the bars and refrigerators scattered around the hotel with soft drinks, juices and water.
The pools are great.
Overall the look and ambience of the hotel is good, but I felt underwhelmed by it all.
- Anthony (9/5): -
- zawkrzek (10/5): Best hotel - Had an amazing experience, staff are very helpful and nice. Zeynep form kids club is the best.
- P3198FMdanielleh (10/5): An amazing anniversary holiday - We stayed in Side star Elegence 2nd-11th March for our anniversary and had the most amazing time!
All areas of the hotel are completely spotless and there is a great selection of food & drinks and the mini bar in the room is refilled daily. We went to the Italian and Turkish specialty restaurant, and both were excellent.
As a couple in our mid 30s, we found the entertainment to be a bit hit and miss, but we really enjoyed the Latin dance show on our first Monday night and the singer & keyboard player on Sunday night. We were disappointed that the Turkish show is only on once every 2 weeks and we didn't get to see it, as that was the show we were looking forward to seeing.
Time out bar was great for grabbing a late night snack.
Duden bar has a massive terrace and we enjoyed having a cocktail in the sun at around 5pm, before getting ready for the night.
The lobby bar was our favourite for a drink before dinner and after the show, especially when the pianist was playing.
We really enjoyed going to the disco both Tuesday nights we were there, and DJ Berk was excellent. We loved the music he was playing and he was very friendly. It's a shame the disco was only open 1 day a week, but understandable in the winter when the hotel isn't as busy.
I'd like to give a special mention to some of the staff who stood out for us, who really are a credit to the hotel.
Sena in the lobby bar is fantastic! She is so friendly and always smiling. The main reason we went to the lobby was because of her excellent service.
Emre was working in the disco on the first Tuesday of our holiday and he was really fun and friendly. We saw him in Time out bar on our last night of our holiday and remembered our order of Jager bombs in the disco from the week before.
Mustafa in the buffet restaurant and show bar is very polite & attentive and he remembered our drink orders.
Hasan, Cumhur and Dursun in the specialty restaurants were also very friendly and gave excellent service.
I've read some reviews saying the staff give preferential treatment to the German guests, but that is absolutely untrue. I'm English & my husband is Brazilian, and everyone was so friendly and attentive. We never once felt like they prioritised the German guests over us.
We feel very sad that our holiday is over and we look forward to staying in this wonderful hotel again.
- WestEnd1987 (10/5): SO GOOD WEVE BOOKED AGAIN - Just arrived home after a perfect 5 day stay at this hotel, the staff are wonderful and location is just great. Our only gripe was that we didn't realise that you can only book the al a carte restaurants if you are on a minimum of a 7 day stay. We will make up for it though as we have booked to return next month for 10 days.
- O4648CEjayneh (10/5): Amazing - Had an amazing experience staff are very and go to great lengths
- Meander08647770645 (10/5): Good - We like this place, good foods, good service and nice location. It was our 13. Times in this group. Also Side star resort were fantastic.
- D_Lawrie171 (10/5): . - Hotel and service perfect, we love this place
- 86johnn (10/5): hotel - what a hotel all staff excellent spotless well done again elegance
- TravelML0090 (6/5): Lovely hotel / shame about the room/noise - Hotel is absolutely beautiful - ideal location on main road with beach at the back. We have a Double room, which is ok, but bed is not very comfortable. Rooms are cleaned very well every day, fresh towels etc. Entertainment is not great..so beware there is not much to do at night. The Cocktails are terrible. But the food, in each and every restaurant/bar is absolutely outstanding. There is something for everyone. Down near beach side there are small bars with hot dogs/pizza/baked potato/waffles/crepes etc, so even the fussiest of eaters will be happy (these were closed on Sunday but there was a lovely bbq instead!) fridges dotted around full of drinks/water to help yourself. Spa/indoor pool is lovely. Enjoying the 18+ section with small pool, as it’s much more peaceful. Not sure if we would return as the room/bed is not the best. It’s really noisy in the morning too, cleaners banging around so early & there is a lot of noise from the pool..But maybe entertainment would be better in high season and a better room, we may return
- 704tinom (10/5): Amazing hotel and staff - It was such a lovely stay! Made most amazing by the staff at the hotel! Sude from the animation team was especially great! The night shows were really great and entertaining. The team made sure everyone was having fun!
- hollien386 (10/5): Very friendly - Ozan was brilliant at keeping you entertained and getting everyone involved in the darts every day had lots off fun.
Friendly staff bringing the drinks to your table and remembered our drinks every time.
- brianlQ7237YG (6/5): Not to shabby - Less the people who visit year in and year out and think they kinda own the place.
The staff were amazing and very attentive
Housekeeping was amazing and could not do enough for you
Reception were quick to react to any problem with professionalism.
I am a wheelchair user and found that getting around went ever so freely even a lift down to the seafront .
Not a person to partake in alcoholic beverages there was an abundance of fridges spotted about the place with soft drinks and water
Good games room for the under 12,s be aware a teenager would soon get bored here not a lot for them to do.
Entertainment was fair that is to say someone was on the stage making some kind of noise.
It was okay for a break
- 691gurjitc (8/5): Half term break - Very enjoyable weeks break. Good facilities and food. Enjoyed the entertainment and big thank you to Ozan for engaging with us and making us feel so welcome.
- tonywV5794YR (8/5): Feb family trip - Very similar to other reviews. Can be very German focused. Nice food and the deserts are great ! Would be nicer to see more things open. Also having the kids club back outside would be idea as they could then use the playground.
Heated pool was great.
Dated, needs some TLC.
Mustafa in the wait staff is amazing and so kind. As well as the kids club staff.
- Traveler56009040585 (10/5): I went to darts every day did the different courses and ate all the time and loved my stay and come here loads. - The staff are kind and there is always something to do I liked the entertainment every night and can always sit down and have a drink
- I1957IVerinf (10/5): Brilliant place! - Lovely staff, lovely rooms, lovely experience. Karaoke night especially is fun and the staff are very friendly and encouraging.
- 969emmien (10/5): Great holiday - I came here on the 15th February. We are staying till 22nd February. All the staff have been friendly, it’s clean, have great service. The entertainment is good. Would highly recommend
- 964tristant (10/5): Second visit exceeded expectations yet again!! - Amazing hotel, our second visit here and it has exceeded our expectations yet again. Al a carte restaurants are stand out. Guest relations made went out of their way to ensure that we had an amazing stay. Hotel was clean wherever we went and towels and room were cleaned daily. We rarely return to a hotel after an initial visit however I would happily return to the Side Star Elegance in a heartbeat.
- Voyager49364971026 (10/5): Absolutely fantastic stay - We have had the most incredible stay at this hotel. From start to finish, everything has been exceptional.
The indoor pool and spa facilities are amazing — such a relaxing space and beautifully maintained. The outdoor pool being heated was a huge bonus, especially on sunny days. It made swimming so enjoyable and comfortable, and there is truly so much to do here that you’re never bored.
All of the à la carte restaurants were fantastic. The food quality, presentation, and service were outstanding every time. It really elevated the whole all-inclusive experience.
The staff are genuinely some of the friendliest we’ve ever come across — warm, welcoming, and always happy to help. Guest relations were also brilliant and available for anything we needed, which made everything feel effortless and well-organised.
We honestly couldn’t fault our stay and would return in a heartbeat. Highly recommend!
- jeffgreenland (10/5): Fun in the Side Sun!!! - Best hotel in Side!
The staff are amazing and go out of their way to help you make your stay the best possible.
The food is always brilliant with lots of choice.
This is my fourth visit to the hotel and my family always have an amazing time when we visit.
The animation team are incredible and are always working hard to keep you entertained.
Big shout out to Ozan “The Dartsmaster” for the fun and laughter during Darts game.
- ouzman2022 (10/5): Side Star Elegance for the past 3 years! - We have been going to Side Star Elegance for the past 3 years. The kids mini club is what our children have enjoyed the most. The staff every year have been wonderful , special shout out the Zeynep for being professional and lovely. Also Ferhat and Ramzan for looking after us in the restaurant.
- arcina2026 (10/5): Professionalism and cleanliness - The location was very good I liked how close it was to the ocean and lots of shopping places it was a 20 minute walk to the side old town the hotel was very professional and rooms were tidy I got to do everything I wanted to do I enjoyed the indoor and outdoor heated pools a lot and the massage services were amazing the buffet style food was amazing I found and tried out new foods there and all of the à la carte restaurants was amazing I would recommend the fish one
- amberskyes2026 (10/5): Amazing - Location very very good, very close to the beach and close to attraction sites. The room is cosy, warm, and makes you feel comfortable and relaxed. Room service is always good and can barely hear any noise, we came for 7 nights and not once did we have any disturbances. Choice of restaurants and always having drinks and food available is good. It was my partners birthday and the hotel surprised him with a bottle of champagne, cake and a card which we didn’t expect so that was a mega bonus for him. We will definitely be coming here again as a revisit.
- 403maggieb (2/5): First week was fine, but not the remaining 3 weeks - Unfortunately workers in charge of maintaining the pool didn't appear to know how to do their job. They were putting chlorine or perhaps even bleach in the outdoor heated pool at all hours of the day. I wasn't aware of this until it was too late. I swam in the pool at 10 am. When I got out an hour later I had a splitting headache and couldn't stop shivering. It was not from the cold. I was shivering uncontrollably all night. My right eye started to hurt and a rash appeared on my left leg extending from the ankle to the knee. The following morning it looked as if it was covered in first degree burns with second degree burns around the ankle. I contacted reception who said they would inform technical services but I never heard back from them. The pain was tremendous. Luckily a friend recommended St John's Wort oil, which I was able to buy from the spa. It really helped ease the pain. I couldn't leave the room for 3 days and after that only walk with a limp. My eye has suffered serious damage. I have numerous hospital appointments for treatment to prevent me from going blind. It is in my medical records that the problem was caused by a chemical in the hotel pool. I contacted reception and guest relations on several occasions about my situation but no one seemed interested. The hotel nurse was useless. I must state that I have stayed in this hotel several times and swum in the pool. This is the first time something like this has happened. The workers responsible should be held accountable.
- gmm8281 (10/5): The hotel is beautiful and staff are very friendly. - The hotel is beautiful and staff are very friendly. Especially the entertainer Merve
- wdalan (10/5): Side star elegance - Great time at the elegance and will definitely return
Animation team were fantastic
Bar staff and restaurant staff all fantastic
5 stars all the way
- brendanbG8917AZ (8/5): I love this hotel hence iv been here 7 times in 4 years coming - All good Staff and food Excellent but I do think Guest Relations have to improve rooms spotless every day Entertainment excellent as per household staff first class
- Explorer44736769047 (8/5): Lovely stay - 2nd stay here as always great food excellent quality drinks. Room cleaned daily, All the staff from getting here to leaving hard working and pleasant, they need to change the daily activities as been the same for years. Some of the evening entertainment could be better, quiz night and karaoke not good. Bus outside the hotel to Mangavat Side market is a 10 minute walk away
The walk to Side and the ruins is approximately 20/30 minutes
Hotel is on the beach
- 116Keith (6/5): First Visit to Side - We stayed here from 16th Jan for a week with my daughter and boyfriend, we were checked in quickly but our rooms couldn't have been further apart, I thought that being booked as a group our rooms would have been relativley close, but were not. We arrived after meals had finished, and were told 24 bar would have food, it did but the choice was really poor, going on from there the hot food choices for lunch and dinner were poor, there was lots of salads and cheeses and desserts but little else.
The waiting staff were very good and their language skills of German and English was very impressive, they are very professional and friendly. The quality of the drinks are very good. The 24 hour bar could be hit and miss if you got served a particular drink, our first 2 nights we had "baby guiness" after that were refused these drinks, although some other guests did have these???
Our room was comfortable enough but our daughter's room was opposite the road which wasn't as nice, we found the housekeeping was very basic, a quick tidy of bed and empty toilet bins and that was that, we had the same bath mat for 4 days. We did have some british tv channels bbc itv but this did keep freezing and going off sometimes.
The outdoor pool was supposed to be heated, it was freezing, the indoor pool was also very cold, not enjoyable to swim in. We found the man at the spa very unhelpful after being asked 3 times if we wanted massages, when we said no thanks, his attitude totally changed,especially when we required towels to use in the steam room and sauna.
We used the games room several times due to the weather not being great when we were there.
The evening entertaiment has got to be the worst we've seen, one night a "DJ" sitting in a corner playing bizarr random music. Due to the weather not being great the entertaiment during the day, was basically darts and we did the painting one afternoon. A huge thanks to Michael one of the entertaiment staff, he was so nice and made our holiday, always greeted us wherever we were in the hotel.
During our stay we had numerous power cuts and wifi outages, which made getting around the hotel quite difficult when not using lifts, because all the stairs are outside which meant getting wet when raining.
We found the hotel quite complicated to navigate around, many many stairs to get around, it was also predominantly "German" which didn't bother us and found these guests friendly enough.
We did find the hotel a little run down and the surrounding area seemed very run down, maybe in the summer months when the hotel facilities are fully opened it might be better, the plus side it was only a lovely half hour walk in old Side town. We had been talking to other guests who had vistited this hotel for many years, and they also said it hadn't been as good as previous years.
We have visited Turkey over 15 times and lots of 5 star hotels and we were a little disappointed with this hotel.
- Boubidi (10/5): Super , je recommande - La propreté, le service, les animations, les animateurs, la literie, la restauration, etc …. Personnel à l’accueil peu souriant
- Salman (10/5): -
- zandaalexander7480 (10/5): Excellent experience - Arrived Sunday 11th early evening an was instantly impressed with the grand reception. Smooth check in and my luggage was taken to my room 3220. The room is amazing so big, clean and modern with bathrobe and slippers. Tea and coffee and a stocked mini bar which is replenished daily. The balcony is huge so far so impressive. The hotel grounds are beautiful and the outdoor swimming pools are heated so I had a swim everyday in mid January! The bars in the hotel are wonderful and the service is excellent and just a small tip each night is appreciated and the staff look after you. The restaurant is grand and the food of an evening is superb. I didn't eat during the day in the restaurant so can't comment on that. The snacks on an afternoon and evening are delicious and there's so much choice. So my only gripe is breakfast if you don't like eggs you're in trouble. There's fried, scrambled and boiled but no cereal etc so I only had breakfast twice egg on toast! Would I stay here again???? Absolutely without a doubt it's an amazing hotel and was a great experience but please give us more of a choice at breakfast. Alex
- 629winniem (10/5): Fantastic - Second time staying at this wonderful hotel, and it didn't disappoint. The cleanliness, food, drink and the staff are excellent 👌
Chinese a lacarte is great. Staff are attentive and make the experience enjoyable.
Italian a lacarte is incredible. Again the staff are great.
Special shout out to Sertac in the Time Out and main restaurant. He is fantastic 😍 Always greeted us with a smile and engaged in conversation even though he was busy. He is so attentive, and his personality shone. A wee star🌟
The entertainment was good. The live music and singers are excellent 👏
This should happen every night!
Side is beautiful and a visit to the ruins and harbour a must.
The markets are worth a visit.
Another great time had, by all.
- Paradise11418211128 (8/5): Returning visit - Our second visit to the hotel first time we loved it.
Firstly the staff especially the restaurant staff are brilliant. So friendly and helpful.
Also the staff in the Italian restaurant were very professional and friendly.
We had 4 rooms in total, 3 on the road side which can be noisy.
1 sea view room which had amazing views but the room was quite tired looking and needs updating.
The pillows were terribly uncomfortable and the beds once made into a king seemed to be different in height. Both had a single duvet on.
Now we certainly didn’t starve but I didn’t find the food as good as our last stay. Despite there being a lot of choice it’s all a bit strange and mismatched.
There are a lot of steps down to the beach but there is a lift down and back up, it’s just not that obvious.
We had a good time all in all and we would stay again.
A sea view room is definitely worth the upgrade though.
Bus service locally is fab.
We love the cats ❤️
- jarroda752 (2/5): This is not 5 Star Quality!!! - Just back from, having spent the first week of January in this NOT 5 star quality hotel. Before I go any further , we read the reviews that all seemed amazing , we watched videos on you tube and checked out their social media and it all looked good , alas it wasn't
Room on the web page looked lovely , however our room looked tired , the beds 2 single were terribly uncomfortable , we pushed the beds together but the bedding consisted of a cheap duvet and several uncomfortable pillows which ended up with us suing our travel pillows.
Wallpaper above the tv was starting to peel , tv seemed to have a mind of its own , all the English tv channels seemed to loose signal after watching for 15 minutes . Terrible draft from the patio door whited faced the street and the traffic noise made it difficult to sleep , if only it was the traffic noise , the walls are paper thin and I never thought that Id pay for a 5 star room to hear two middle aged Scottish men getting it on at 3 am.
Food was very poor , I met a lady who had visited multiple times and she said that this was the worst the food has ever been and that they had received a lot of complaints . There was lots of choice , but it was aimed at the German and continental taste , always fish on the menu but the meat offering was what appeared cheap cuts of meat ,that didn't taste good , Onion soup and pumpkin soup were not to my taste. The volume of deserts looks amazing , but the problem is that they are just bland and tasteless .
The hotel does have lots of facilities spread out over multiple floors so get used to climbing steps , and the overall feel of the hotel is that it looks tired and needs a revamp , something that in goof weather you could live with as you would be around a number of the pools or on the beach.
I can't fault the waiting staff who were all extremely polite and helpful and couldn't do enough for you , but the hotel itself was a real disappointment in comparison to our previous 5 star experience in Turkey (check out my review of the Double Tree Hilton Kemer).
To sum up - Ive had a better nights quality street in a Travel Lodge and eaten better on a motorway service , in 35 yrs together , staying in hotels fro 3 stars up around the world - this has to be the worse that we have stayed in .
If they offered us a free weeks stay - ww would decline !
- keithhS6444HI (10/5): Perfect!!! - This is our fifth visit, and it's a wonderful hotel. We are satisfied with everything. The staff is very attentive, hygiene standards are excellent, and the location is perfect. We will definitely come again.
- davidkJ3056HQ (10/5): Side elegance - Great break for the newyear. Staff are helpful and food is good. Entertainment is light but breaks the night up and has some good music and shows. Been back twice and will be back in tbe future. Great value.
- louisepX14VF (10/5): Winter family break - First time her at this hotel, we are a large group of 9 with some returning guests. Beautiful hotel and service has been excellent. Staff have been really attentive and can't do enough for you. Food is excellent and a lot of variety. We expecially like the food shacks outside for lunch which serves jacket potato's, pizza, pannis and waffles. We will definitely be back to this beautiful hotel
- jenniferkR7093YU (10/5): Winter break with family - Second time at this wonderful hotel. Food and drinks excellent staff are so friendly and welcoming. Here as a party of 9 room cleaning excellent as well as bar staff and relations.
- gaynorr770 (8/5): Delightful hotel - Full of surprises on every level, once you've figured out the layout.
Rooms...good storage comfy beds,cleaned to perfection daily. Shower could be larger with a bit more pressure ( we had older room overlooking the main road) tad noisy but bearable but no sun at all.
Pools ...looked good, heated one used over Christmas, indoor pool cold I was told.
Bars..staff were friendly and welcoming and remembering your drinks choices.
Restaurants... very good choices for seating, would hate to see busy season though,
Food... was good,hot and varied daily, themed nights good choices.
Al a carte only tried one as we were not keen on some menus,Italian was nice.
Lovely hotel and we are booked in for March with a sea view, so hopefully we will have a nicer room, they kindly showed me one which was nice but overlooking huge hotel next door, a lot of work going on in the hotel but nothing to disturb your holiday, looking forward to returning 😀 😊
- M942ZNlynnj (10/5): The best Christmas and New Year I could wish for thanks you everyone - Amazing time from the rooms food to all the staff entertainment staff went above and beyond everyday to make everyone have a great time happy new year to everyone
- gayler2026 (10/5): Super - It was our first time visiting, based on friends recommendations. Our first room was on the street side, and it was quite noisy , so we asked to change it. The reception staff helped us immediately, and we were very satisfied with the second room. The housekeeping staff and all employees are excellent. The waiters are very friendly, helpful and always smiling. The food is delicious with a wide car to suit every taste. Thank you very much.
- margaretpU3413AY (10/5): Beautiful!!! - Our 9th visit, and it’s a perfect hotel. The staff are amazing. This time we brought friends with us as well, and we are having a wonderful time.

Just a short walk from all the ancient ruins.
We will definitely be back.
- Marta (10/5): -
- Hollyrg22 (10/5): “Another Enjoyable Stay at Side Star Elegance – Honest Feedback from Repeat Guests” - ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
We had a wonderful stay at **Side Star Elegance**. The hotel is beautifully maintained, with elegant décor and a very relaxing atmosphere. The location is excellent, close to Side’s attractions while still feeling peaceful and private.
The room was clean, spacious, and very comfortable, with daily housekeeping and fresh towels. The mini bar was always fully restocked each day by the lovely **Emrecan**, which was much appreciated.
We really enjoyed the food throughout our stay — the quality and choice were consistently great, with plenty to enjoy at every meal. The only small suggestion would be a wider variety of vegetables. We were also a little disappointed not to see our favourite **Baked Alaska** on Turkish theme night this time. Additionally, we were initially sad to learn about the reduced number of à la carte restaurant visits, especially for guests staying for a longer period, but we were very happy when this was later changed and we were able to enjoy the usual three visits.
The waiting and bar staff were fabulous as always, often remembering what we drank before even asking and taking great care of us. Special thanks to **Bilal** at dinner and in the Time Out Bar in the evenings, **Erkan** and **Atikan** in the Duden Bar, **Serkan** and **Dursun** in the à la carte restaurants, and **Volkan** at breakfast and the snack bar — all truly outstanding. We would also like to mention the new male member of the **Guest Relations** team, who was extremely friendly and spoke excellent English, which was really appreciated.
The entertainment team also deserve a special mention. They are so fun and really add to the atmosphere of the hotel. We especially love **Michael, Ozan, and Sefa**. I really enjoyed taking part in all the activities the hotel offers — there was always something to get involved in and it made the stay even more enjoyable.
As repeat guests, we do feel there are a few areas with room for improvement. The evening entertainment could benefit from some refreshing — while we did notice a couple of new elements, it would be lovely to see more new shows introduced for returning guests. A wider range of music would also be welcome, and perhaps a new quiz, as this has been the same for quite some time.
The open-plan bathrooms could also be improved slightly by adding hooks to the back of the shower door for towels. When sharing a room, this would make things much more practical. Additionally, the ice cream selection in the freezers — especially in the Time Out Bar — was quite limited during our stay. We didn’t want Twisters, and unfortunately the selection didn’t change at all over the two weeks we were there.
Side Star Elegance is a hotel we genuinely love and enjoy returning to, however we have noticed that prices are starting to become very high. We find it offers good value during the out-of-season winter months, but when looking to return for New Year, the price was more than double that of other hotels in the area, making it hard to justify. We also struggled to see how it could be priced so much higher than its sister hotel, **Side Star Resort**, as aside from the location, many of the offerings are very similar. Unfortunately, summer season prices also now feel extremely high, which is a real shame.
Despite this, the hotel remains a fantastic place with wonderful staff and a great atmosphere, and with a few improvements and more realistic pricing, it would continue to be our first choice.
- 833mikaelg (10/5): Staffs are very friendly, and we came here too many time with my partner, maybe 25. Time for 18 years. Everything good.. - Staffs are very friendly, and we came here too many time with my partner, maybe 25. Time for 18 years. Everything good…..
- keithhM9739PM (10/5): simply the best - we have just had an amazing 10 days at this wonderful hotel, on entering you are made very welcome by excellent staff, rooms very clean and modern, food is excellent big range to choose from, cakes are out of this world. animation team very good ,always entertaining for all ages, michael is outstanding member of the team.the hotel offers heated swimming pools, there is always something to do, entertainment is good, friday night is white night this is by far the best night, its a must for all guests.
also i would like to thank emrecan the tea man for for his pleasant service, always polite and friendly, i will be back in january
- Y456BPtheov (10/5): Perfect - The hotel is good. Hotel has good location. Service is verry good. You can find too much lift for the beach, its vers good point. Everyday guest relationele Office members visit us, and they help you everytime. All public áreas and room ver clean.
- irenedI7700QI (10/5): Perfect - We being coming here for 7 Christmas doing for weeks we never had a rainy day in at seven years. There is never been I fault restaurants the alabaster is faultless we exception off. Portions are tasty. All too big for all people. Staffs always good and our rooms always clean.
- T7288XXdavidp (10/5): Brilliant - Where do I start?
First of all we were returning for our 6th visit and we had concerns due to previous reviews of this season. However, our concerns were unfounded. We had read that reception staff a bit offish, WRONG.
Bar staff were rude and favoured Germans , WRONG
Food was poor, WRONG
Guest relations rude,again WRONG.
I had mentioned before on the hotel Facebook forum about these issues I would like to know which hotel they went to, it certainly wasn’t the same one as us.
Never been so late in the year and did not know what to expect.
Yes the pool bar was closed and food was unavailable in ficus bar but drinks were, the shacks were open for food and of course main restaurant and timeout bar.
Overall we had a wonderful time, met old friends and new, is it 5 star?, in our opinion yes, would we return? Yes, all booked.
It’s good value for money at the end of the day. Top waiting staff? All of them however Bilal in quiet area of main restaurant and timeout was superb.
- 168janiceh (10/5): Pre Xmas break - We visit this hotel regularly and every time we visit some improvements are made . The staff are wonderful and welcome you back like family. The food in this hotel is the most generous we have encountered and even the fussiest eaters are catered for and the deserts are irresistible. All staff are friendly from management to cleaners and even the gardeners greet you each day. We have visited many hotels in Turkey but no longer look as this hotel gives us everything we require for a perfect holiday . Looking forward to returning in march for a special celebration.
- juliewZ5215IK (10/5): Mid winter break - Excellent facilities and the staff are second to none, it wouldn’t be the hotel it is without the staff especially the bar staff in the vough bar Abdi always remembers what we are drinking . The hotel has a friendly atmosphere and is only 40 mins stroll along the beach front into side old town . Great value for money we’ve visited the hotel 3 times this year and looking forward to our next visit
- OnAir06312951004 (10/5): 3rd time - This is our 3rd trip to this hotel.
Very very clean.
Food tastes and good choice.
Friendly staff.
Great entertainment team
