Side Star Elegance Hotel - Ultra All Inclusive

Myself and my husband visited for a week early September 2025 for the first time. We found the room clean and the beds were super comfy. I have seen mention of rooms not being cleaned daily, which was not the case for us. Our room faced a very busy road, initially I was concerned this would be an issue but we both slept really well. My husband adored the olive shower gel which was available in the shower. The toilet roll holders are really low on the wall in some of the toilets, that was odd, not sure if that is a Turkish thing? Fridge in room stocked daily with soft drinks and a couple of beers. Safe easy to use. The hotel is large, took us a day of so to find our way around. Just because you are on floor 2 don’t expect pressing 2 on the lift will get you to your floor as there are maybe three blocks, so sometimes you must walk side ways prior to going up or down! Lots of pools to choose from and even when busy, you can usually find a lounger. Good selection in restaurant, loved the hot chocolate. Liked the variety of snack bars where menu differed. Nice cocktails. Was not keen on the red wine. Husband loved the cherry cake. Staff are friendly. Overall we were served promptly. One waiter kept the drinks coming without being asked which was very kind but meant we could not switch our choice nor leave. There are worse problems to have….. :-) We really enjoyed our stay and will be booking for 2026 soon.

This was our second stay at Side Star Elegance and we have already booked our third for 2026. All the staff are friendly and welcoming. We enjoyed many delicious meals in the A-la-carte restaurants. Sitting overlooking the Mediterranean with a glass of cold Rose was perfect! Location is excellent with lovely walks to Side Old Town. We absolutely love our swim-up room.

We came here late in July for 10 days. We booked a room with a large terrace and jacuzzi. The room was spacious and the terrace over looked the sea and the view was beautiful. The room was cleaned daily to a very good standard by the very friendly cleaners. The free mini bar was restocked daily. Food: the buffet restaurant served a good variety of local and Mediterranean food and was great. We booked 3 a la carts meals, Turkish, Italian and Fondu. Each was unique and tasted great. Great facilities, pool, bar areas and friendly staff.

The most beautiful hotel we have ever stayed in. It started with our arrival when we were given a very warm welcome by the reception staff and taken to our room by a very special young man who made us feel very special. He showed us how to use our safe , the air conditioning and told us what time the restaurant was open. The room was very nice, although we had a room overlooking the street, and it was a little noisy in the night with the sound of traffic going past. The hotel and grounds are huge and we were given a map to show us round. The gardens are well tended and really pretty and just walking through them is really charming. There are lots of activities provided, ranging from exercise classes in the pools and the sea, to competitions for everyone. Every body in the hotel was catered for. The restaurant was out of this world with lots of choices, ranging from freshly cooked meals, salad bars, cheese bars and luxury deserts, you were made to feel like family and well provided for. As well as the main restaurant, there were numerous bars with eateries in and around the hotel plus three specialist restaurants, which you were allowed three tickets to, but you had to book beforehand. There is an Italian, a Turkish and.a Chinese, we tried the Italian. It was a five course meal with drinks and it was very satisfying . There were numerous bars with a varied choice of drinks and special cocktails, which served till midnight although there was one bar which was open 24 hours. I can honestly say that this hotel has left a wonderful memory, which we want to go back to as soon as possible

Just returned from STE and we had a fantastic holiday , could not fault anything amazing hotel, the bars , al a carte restaurants the pool bar everything you could possibly want , drinks are so nice from I e coffees to wine prosecco cocktails will be booking again thankyou so much

This hotel is worthy of its five stars. From the porters meeting us at the coach to take our bags it was amazing. We stayed for a week in a room with a sea view and it was lovely. The room is gorgeous. It had a t. v. which we didn't use, a kettle with coffees replenished daily. The safe is free, there is a mini bar which had 2 cans beer , some juices and a few cans minerals which are replenished daily free of charge. On Arrival we had a couple of bottles of water in the room and this was replenished daily with a large bottle all free. There is a pillow menu and you can change your pillows as required. When we got to the room there was a bag on the bed with 2 towels for the pool area. They can be changed if you require them. The hotel has a few pools around including one which was an adult only area. There is entertainment at night, again there are different areas for it. There are snack areas which you can use if you are all inclusive. There are fridges around each area with water and juices for all open until 6 pm. The first night we went to dinner at 6.30 in the main restaurant (opening time) but found it to be extremely busy with queues everywhere. After that we went at about 7.30 and it was so much better. There is no shortage of food available. The bar areas are on available on different areas of the hotel and there is no problem getting service with waiters at most areas but you can also go to the bar yourself. If you want to take drinks to your room they will give it to you in plastic glasses which was really useful. What I would say is that it seems to be the norm to tip people there and while they don't hassle you for it, it is much appreciated.. You can use Euro in the hotel and there is a small supermarket onsite. The beach is accessed from the lowest level of the hotel and it is beautiful. Sun beds are also available at the beach with each hotel having their own area. All in all the hotel is just lovely, the toilets are spotlessly clean , as is the whole hotel. Even the pool areas are spotless. The wifi is free for the duration of your stay and is good, we were able to use it even at the pool areas. Make sure you get onto it. If you have difficulty there is a notice at reception giving all the details you need. We asked for a late checkout as we were not going until teatime but the hotel was full so we couldn't avail of one, they did offer a shower room if we wanted but we didn't avail of it. Check out is at 12.00 so not too early. You can only ask on the day you are checking out about late checkout availability. I would go back to this hotel again.
