The lowest main pool, cramped and noisy. But there are several other pools in the hotel area that are calmer

Side Star Elegance is a really beautiful, clean and functional 5* hotel. The staff are all really pleasant.

The room is not completely soundproof, as you will hear people from the hallway. However, no sound from neighboring rooms!

Exceptional friendly staff! Huge variety of food (but unfortunately in turkey there is a lot of pickled and oily food). The entertainers do a great job and there is always something to do, so it will never be boring.

It all depends on where you have stayed before and how far you have travelled. In my case, luckily I have been to several all inclusive resorts and I would say that they have a lot of things to improve. Starting with the food: vegetarian or vegan options are not frequent. And the 3 options are always the same. They put meat in everything, even pasta, or they have white pasta but the sauce has meat in it. Drinks: there is an important imbalance: some make your drinks super high in alcohol and others don't. In my case, as I don't drink often, it's not something that bothers me but I think that if you're a drinker, the quality of the drinks can bother you a bit. Infrastructure: the complex is large and has many stairs, the lifts are not many, we went in low season and still preferred the stairs because there was a long wait to access the lifts. Opening hours: everything is very controlled, for example breakfast, lunch and dinner are basically 2 hours. Then you can go to the snack bar which has very LIMITED options. Extra services: I think the price for the spa is a bit ridiculous, especially because as soon as you leave the hotel in less than 1 minute they offer you the same service for much less money (hotel €75/ outside hotel €20). Language: sometimes it is very difficult because the English is not very good. But the staff go out of their way to help you, in our case we didn't notice that they were rude. A la carte restaurants: this was definitely our biggest disappointment. we had only 1 option in the 5 nights we were there, chosen by them as they were all fully booked. We got the Chinese. We asked them to please let us know if there were cancellations but to no avail. We thank Darya for her help. The problem is that you don't choose a la carte but they start bringing what is already done. And it is difficult again if you don't eat meat. And we did not like the quality of the food.

What we liked most about the hotel was the beautiful surprise in our room for our honeymoon. The view from the room is beautiful. We also want to highlight EMI from the fitness centre who made our stay nicer ,she filled us with info and trained our body, thank you! and reebi from animation, he made us laugh and entertained us. The location of the hotel is good, as you can walk to the city side and enjoy the beautiful shops. Tip, don't pack too many clothes and take advantage of the low prices of the most recognized brands. From the hotel you have direct access to the beach and I recommend watching the unique sunsets! It's also nice to have the bar nearby, which you can drink there or take your drink to the beach; nearby is the crepes and waffles service with sandwiches and lots of fruits. Water coolers are available throughout the complex. And the sweetest cats you can find. In our case the cleanliness of the room was very good! And they give you all kinds of shampoo/conditioner/body creams/shaving kit/sponges/swabs/soap and body wash. You also get slippers and robes. They also give you a bag with towels for the beach. another positive thing was the heated water on the pool in the outside area.

This hotel is the best for winter stay, tons of bars, restaurants and internal entertainment. also it’s in 20 minutes walk to old city Side. There is also a bus stop near the hotel to go to the old city or Manavgat for shopping in Novamall.

I booked two double rooms through booking.com for three adults and 2 children (6 yrs and 2 yrs) and when I arrived to the hotel, they told me that my booking is only for two adults and 1 child (one bedroom for me and the other one for my husband imagine). they charged me by paying extra 224 Euro though the reservation was for 4 adults. They told us that the issue is with booking.com and it is our problem to fix it. they could have been more collaborative and supportive but unfortunately they were not at all. worth to mention that when I did the reservation through the booking, I requested one of the rooms to be twin beds and the other one double bed and they approved that as I received a confirmation saying that this request was approved :(

the location was so perfect. The hotel was so clean. The food was good.
