SIDE STAR ELEGANCE

All round an excellent place to stay. The location is fantastic and only a 20-25 minute walk to Side old town which is beautiful. Side old town has many shops and places to eat, and a great place to pick up bargains. The facilities at the hotel are superb, the staff are extremely friendly and helpful, and the choice of food available cannot be faulted. This has been our 1st trip to Turkey, and we are so glad we chose this hotel and location. 5-star!

Beautiful hotel, staff very attentive, entertainment is very good. Beach and pools are lovely. Great location. We are recommending

When we booked Side Star Elegance, we hoped for a relaxing family holiday. What we didn’t expect was to fall in love with the place. The first thing that took our breath away was the view. Because the hotel is built on a hillside, almost everywhere you look you can enjoy stunning views of the Mediterranean. It gives the whole resort a very special atmosphere. We visited during the busiest part of the summer, yet the hotel never felt crowded. There was no feeling of being “packed in like sardines,” which is so common in many large resorts. The spacious layout, beautiful gardens and different levels make a huge difference. There is always something nearby – several pools, plenty of bars, excellent cocktails, ice cream, and even soft drinks available in the gardens. The food selection was incredibly generous, with something new to try every day, and everything we tasted was fresh and delicious. But what made this holiday truly unforgettable was the people. Every member of staff we met was genuinely kind, warm, professional and always ready to help. Their smiles and positive attitude created an atmosphere that made us feel welcome from the very first moment. The location is another huge advantage. Walking along the seaside promenade to the ancient town of Side became one of our favourite evening activities. It’s simply beautiful. We left with wonderful memories and, before we had even arrived home, we were already planning our next visits. We hope to return in autumn, again in winter, and hopefully for a much longer stay next summer. Thank you, Side Star Elegance, for such a memorable holiday. We can’t wait to come back!

We had a very enjoyable stay at Side Star Elegance Hotel. The hotel is clean, well maintained, and the staff work hard to make guests feel welcome. The food offers plenty of variety, with something different every day, and the drinks are not toobad quality but for 5 star hotel could be a bit better(coktails). The pools, private beach, and gardens are beautiful, and there are always plenty of places to relax. The entertainment team keeps the atmosphere lively without being too overwhelming, making it suitable for both families and couples. The location is also excellent, with Side's old town within walking distance. There are a few downsides. Some rooms feel a little dated and could use renovation. Wi-Fi can be unreliable in certain areas of the hotel, and during peak meal times the restaurants can become busy. While most staff are friendly and helpful, service at the bars can occasionally be slow when the hotel is full. Overall, Side Star Elegance is a very good all-inclusive hotel that offers great value for money. It isn't perfect, but the positives definitely outweigh the negatives, and I would happily stay here again.

Recently returned from a birthday celebration at our favourite hotel. The hotel gives us everything we could wish for in a holiday and this is the reason we do not look any where else. The staff at this hotel cannot be faulted they make all guests feel special. The food is so varied even the fussiest eater is catered for. All staff from cleaners to gardeners greet you and are happy to share a few words. The entertainment is varied and caters for all tastes. Reception staff are friendly and handle any problem efficiently . We must on this occasion give a special mention to Damla in the main dinning room who greeted us every morning and lunch with a smile and efficient service. Thank you again Side Star Elegance for special memories cannot wait until we see you all again for Octoberfeast.

If I tried to sum up all the positives about my holiday at this hotel, I would still be writing tomorrow🤣…I would sum it up as probably the best hotel I’ve stayed in over 40 years of holidaying and practically faultless in every way. Hotel is beautiful, including the rooms. All staff I encountered could not do enough for guests and are a credit to the Sidestar brand. No complaints re food and you could eat 24 hours a day if you wanted. (we tried the Turkish and Chinese à la carte, a great experience and food and service was 5 star). Side town centre is a 25 minute walk along a beautiful promenade, or €10 in a taxi. If you have mobility problems, then I would suggest the hotel might not be suitable due to many flights of stairs as you move around the hotel. I booked the hotel via EasyJet and can say 100% that it was it was absolutely fantastic value for money

We loved our stay at this hotel, the staff are great and go out of there way to make us feel welcome. The pool entertainment is amazing and Ozan is the best guy. We would definitely come back! The pool side food is great. Can't think of anything bad to say make sure to find Ozan when you come he is very good at entertainment!

Side star elegance, where do I start… the staff here are friendly, entertaining and wholesome to be around. Ozan comes over to us daily asking how we are informing us on all the activities that are on for the day ahead and makes sure we are happy with our stay. The entertainment is always different every night and as we were here during the World Cup they had the matches on the main stage (amphitheatre) alongside its own bar. The food is brilliant here and you are completely spoilt for choice there’s always food available 24 hours a day (I’d personally recommend the restaurant next to the main pool the fajitas are incredible) the hotel rooms get cleaned daily and on the occasion we’ve bumped into the staff cleaning our rooms they’ve always been lovely to talk to. If you’re looking for somewhere to stay where you can relax and feel comfortable as well as being able to live it up then I would highly recommend side star elegance. If you do come here find Ozan as he is the man !!!

The hotel is very great for children and family time spend. High level of food, comfort and hospitality. Fast and good cleaning. Comfortable stay with children, everybody is friendly. A-la cart (we visited fish and fondue, Italian) is very tasty. During fondue we had a show ) Animation, activities more then enough and different. Especially thanks to mini-club, girls (Merve, Zeine, Aylin) very fast found contact with my shy daughter. They made pizza snd prepared picknic, played sport and art games, painted T-shirt and bag, jumped on trampoline. Mini disco in the evening is so cute activity (thanks from small Kristina). I really thankful to them and whole people who works in hotel for our comfortable vacation!

The hotel is beautiful. The rooms are lovely. The staff is super friendly and the food was good. My boyfriend and I had a photoshoot at the hotel and the result was truly beautiful. The photographer really did his best to make something beautiful out of it. I look back on a wonderful vacation.

This hotel was awesome, my partner and I stayed for a week with his parents in two of the swim up rooms. The swim up rooms are well worth it, waking up and taking a swim in your own pool before breakfast is unbeatable. The room is a decent size with minibar which was stocked every day with water, soft drinks and beers. Cleaning staff were lovely and friendly and always said hello in the mornings when passing in the corridors. The hotel is large with many pools, bars and restaurants spread over a wide area with the result that the place never felt overcrowded. Everything is very clean. There are numerous cats about (quite common in Turkish hotels/resorts) but there are feeding stations around the hotel for them and guests are discouraged from feeding them at the main restaurant with the result that there were very few cats begging for food which we've seen at other hotels. The hotel also partners with an animal/vet charity who looks after them, they all looked pretty healthy. The food in the main restaurant was good with enough variety for a week. The main pool veranda bar and ficas bar have a small set menu which you can order to your table. We ate there for lunch every day. There are also snack bars serving, sandwiches, baked potato, hot dogs, pizza and waffles. We tried the Turkish and Italian a la carte's which were also fantastic. The spa was good, we used the sauna daily. As the hotel is quite large and on a hillside there are quite a few stairs, however each staircase had a ramp beside it and there are plenty of lifts. Once you've found a route to and from your room it's pretty easy. The main pool was not too loud, there were two activity sessions each day for aerobics/games etc when the music was turned up, but it's a short time frame and not that intrusive. I've been at hotels before where the pool music is on all day and it's so loud and annoying. There is an 18+ pool here as well if you prefer things even quieter. There are numerous beverage fridges and ice cream freezers at the pool areas as well which were always well stocked. The hotel also has a private beach area. Drinks at the bars were great, good selection of branded alcohol and cocktails. Cocktail strength varied a bit depending on which bar tender was working. It's a short 25 mins walk into Side from the hotel, you can walk along the promenade at the front of the hotel. In Side there are the usual shops selling handbags and designer clothing, but there are also some interesting ruins and mosaics. All of the staff were friendly and helpful, there are tip jars at the bars and you are free to tip individual staff as you see fit. We only had one experience with a staff member overtly asking for a tip which we politely declined, it was definitely not the norm. Entertainment - there was live music every night at the Duden bar and we saw an acrobat show at the auditorium one night which was very good. All in, we had a very relaxed holiday. I'd say this hotel is good for couples and families with small children.
