Side Star Elegance has been lauded for its prime location close to the sea and local attractions, with guests frequently praising the comprehensive amenities such as diverse dining and beach access. While many describe the hotel as exceptionally clean and celebrate the friendly and efficient service, some reviewers have pointed out room quality can be inconsistent, ranging from spacious upgrades to smaller, noisier options.
The festive atmosphere generally delights guests, yet, a few suggest after-hours ambiance and entertainment could be enhanced. Noise from traffic has been noted as a concern, and while the value is generally appreciated, the cost of spa services and entertainment quality received mixed reviews.

After travelling from Edinburgh and arriving late in evening we were quickly assigned our room from the helpful Reception Staff . Our room was on 2nd floor in block 3 . The corridor was well maintained and modern and quiet at night . Our room was beautiful bright, spacious with luxurious bedding. The bed was large and super comfortable . The room had everything to meet our needs and the drinks fridge , coffee and teaswere replenished daily . Our balcony faced out over trees and the sea . There was a service road from hotel but no noise or disruption from it. We had sun on the balcony from 2pm until sunset ☀️ Our room was at one of the furthest away from restaurants and pools but that was no problem to us. We never used the pools outside Reception area or the pools by Venetian Bar as we preferred the quiet but busy Adults Only pools. Restaurants - main buffet has something to suit everyone It is well run and food is at correct temperature as far as I noticed. This goes for the salad bar , cold deserts and meats and cheese areas. We used The Seafood , Turkish and Chinese a la carte restaurants and they were to a great standard. Give yourself 2 hours for your 3 courses. My personal favourite was The Seafood . The staff genuinely can't do enough for you, so if you can leave a sign of your appreciation. Same goes for bar and restaurant in my opinion. Breakfast buffet , very good selection Only issue was lack of teaspoons ! None at self service coffee and tea machines and when staff served coffee and tea none given. After a few days , I noticed you only got one if you asked and there certainly was a lack of them ! Staff looking around and keeping some in a glass of water at the Dresser stations. So please provide disposable ones if no teaspoons as we need something to stir or drinks with . Animation staff certainly put on good shows and participants enjoyed We were on holiday for a rest so we're happy to watch . Special shout out to the staff at The Venetian Pool Bar - friendly and good understanding of several languages. Food,and drinks there were excellent. The Didum Bar has a good seating area for evening entertainment which again in my opinion was awful. I'm in my 60s and enjoy all types of music but these duos and trios were terrible . We never stayed and most of the other guest looked bored by the entertainment. Very little applause after each song. Younger guests looked on in horror. We tried going 4 nights and twice saw the same trio twice despite a solo make artist being advertised This was my only disappointment with my stay . Great hotel , great staff . See you again

After 1.5 years we were finally back in our 3. Home - the Side Star Elegance. We were warmly welcomed and every member of staff at the hotel - from the cleaner to the manager - have always fulfilled our wishes, were very accommodating, so we could spend an incredibly beautiful and above all relaxing holiday.
We have received a beautiful quiet room with sea views.
The hotel is beautifully located on a long beach promenade. The Temple of Apollo is also just 2.5 km from the hotel. There is a bus stop at the hotel, so you can easily take the bus to Manavgat, for example to the weekly market held twice a week.
The hotel has several a la carte restaurants. We were particularly pleased with the fish restaurant, where we could enjoy a delicately prepared sole. Also the Italian restaurant with perfectly grilled steaks was incredibly good. The food overall at the hotel is great and has become even more diverse and better in taste compared to our previous visits. The variety of bars also makes for a nice change, especially the Duden-Bar was a delight for us, which has become even more beautiful after your expansion.
In addition, we greatly appreciated that the heated and windproof outdoor pool is available in winter.
Since 2013 we have fallen in love with the hotel and, as mentioned above, consider it our third home (winter residence). Over the years we have made beautiful and long-lasting friendships and feel completely at ease.
Of course, we will be back with friends in February 2025 and are already very much looking forward to it.

This hotel is Amazing, very modern and everyone from the front desk to the cleaning staff are excellent. We stayed in room 1455 this room has a large terrace with two sun beds and a whirlpool bath under a retractable roof, the terrace has the sun for a large part of the day and is very comfortable.
We had an all inclusive plus deal which that there is a fridge in the room that is restocked daily and along with the free Wi-Fi and room safe made this great value for money. There was fridges all down the front near pools that you could help yourself to up until 6pm. These has water juices and energy drinks in them.
The hotel is clean tidy and comfortable with various restaurants and places to eat dotted around the hotel grounds, the food is very fresh and the menu changes daily with themed nights spread throughout our stay.
The staff are some of the most helpful and friendly staff. There are plenty of lifts to get to where you need to and we even noticed a lift for disabled to get you from hotel down to pools etc.
All in all give a try you won’t be disappointed if you want a relaxed holiday

This is the fourth time we have visited this hotel, everyone from the front desk to the room cleaning staff are excellent. We stayed in room 1460, this room has a large terrace with two sun beds and a whirlpool bath under a retractable roof, the terrace has the sun for a large part of the day and is very comfortable,
We had an all inclusive plus deal with our tour operator which means that there is a fridge in the room that is restocked daily and along with the free Wi-Fi and room safe made this great value for money.

The staff are some of the most helpful and friendly staff I have encountered in any hotel they make a good hotel great, nothing is any trouble, while the staff are fluent German speakers they try very hard to speak and understand English speakers.
We have never had a bad stay in this hotel and we will definitely return.

Just returned from our first stay at the Side Star Elegance and it definitely wont be our last. I travelled from Glasgow and my friend from London and we had requested, if possible, to have rooms near to one another and not too far away from the pools at lobby level. We were delighted that the hotel had met our requests and we were in two lovely rooms next to one another above some of the swim-up rooms and overlooking lovely gardens. The rooms were spacious with good sized balconies and cleaned every day. Mini-bar also filled and I usually only take the Coke Zero, so left a note, written in Turkish, for the guy who fills the mini-bar, which he must have found amusing but he did leave me what I asked for. What can I say about the food, absolutely delicious, prepared and presented to very high standards and replenished when running out. We "found" the beach restaurants and the food stalls next to them and used them mostly at lunchtime as we would go on the beach for the afternoon. The food at the beach restaurants was amazing, lots of choice and I found just enough for a lunchtime snack. I found if we used the main restaurant I ate too much as there was so many things to choose from. Entertainment in the evening was very good in the Duden Bar, with some excellent singers and entertainers. Cannot fault the service we received, never had to wait for a drink and all the staff very pleasant. Some even helping me to learn more Turkish words during my stay. The a la carte restaurants were also excellent, we went to the Chinese, Italian and Turkish and the food was lovely. A bonus on the last day was the use of a shower and change of clothes in a dedicated courtesy room area (they had quite a few available). You are given 30 minutes but I was a bit longer and no-one seemed to mind. All in all we had a fabulous time at the Side Star Elegance and I am already looking to come back over, hopefully before the end of this year but if not, definitely in 2025. Tesekkur ederim, kendine iyi bak xx

This was out third time at the Side Star Elegance and the experience was, once again, fantastic. We arrived in the evening, for an 11 night stay, and check-in was fast, friendly and efficient. The porter showed us to our room and explained everything about the hotel. A perfect start after a long flight and transfer from Antalya.
The hotel itself is big, with beautiful gardens, and very well looked after by the staff. Our room was kept spotlessly clean by a very friendly cleaner, and our mini-bar was topped up every day.
All meals are fantastic and, because of the lovely early November weather, we ate outside every day and night. The food is exceptional, as are the dining staff (thank you to Burak, Seper and Hussain). On this trip, we also tried three of the a la carte restaurants (Turkish, Italian and Chinese) and they were all very good. We also ate at the Time Out cafe, the Beach restaurant and the Pool restaurant, and I don't have a favourite - they are all great, serving wonderful food and providing excellent service by polite and friendly staff.
The bars are also great, although we used the Duden bar the most as it was beautifully peaceful during the day (with great views of the sea) and with some great entertainment in the evenings.
There are plenty of sun beds for sun worshipers, and we spent a lot of time topping up our tans or swimming in the heated pool.
The location of the hotel is perfect, just a short walk (about a mile or so) along the sea front in to Side town to the shops, bars, cafes and historical ruins.
The hotel rewards returning guests and, as this was our third visit, we received discounts from any payable activities and got all our clothes washed for free. We didn't use the payable activities but we did get the clothes washed, and it is great - we dropped the clothes off in the morning and they were returned to our room, washed and ironed, in the afternoon.
In summary, a perfect holiday at a perfect hotel. Side Star Elegance has got to be one of the best hotels in Side! The location is great, the management is professional and friendly, and the staff really make your stay unforgettable.
Will we be going back to Side Star Elegance again? Of course we will! We are already booking for next year, and I fully expect we will be returning year after year - it really is that good.
David and Jill

Stayed at the resort for 10 nights, all inclusive with husband and 20 year old daughter. We had a fantastic time; the staff was very friendly and we got to know some of the animation team who made the days extra special. A massive thank to Suleyman, Çiğem, fitness instructor as well as Lisa with the aqua aerobic , Michael and the rest of the team. We have been given a family accommodation facing the sea, which was like a studio apartment with a large bathroom, 2 separate large bedrooms, large corridor with TV, table and 2 armchairs. TV also in each bedroom, air conditioning, large balcony with 4 loungers and table. The hotel provides towels and bathrobes for the room and towels for the pools and the beach. The buffet is spectacular with different food each day, lots of choice throughout the day, themed cuisine, like Turkish, Italian, French, Chinese etc.The table service is great, unlimited food and drinks. The hotel has a Spa with free Sauna, Steam room and Salt room; treatments like massages are to be paid for. I would recommend to try the service. The resort has children’s clubs as well as different pools for both children and adults. The staff could not do more to make our stay very pleasant and I would highly recommend it. It is impossible to write all the details in one review but I would go back any time. Thank you again!

I wrote the comment below after returning from holiday, but it was not published because I forgot to confirm it via e-mail. I am now writing for republication. We booked our place again this year by early booking. We really liked the pandemic management, cleanliness and meticulousness of the hotel we went to for the first time during the pandemic period. As people who are more meticulous than usual and care about hygiene, the fact that we liked this hotel is a situation that should be taken into consideration. This year, we spent our holiday at Side Star Elegance for the 3rd time in a row. Let's start with the positives, saving only one thing for last that we would recommend to the management about the hotel: Although we liked the interior and exterior of the seaside hotel with fine details, we saw for the third time that the institutionality had not changed systematically. Certain minor shortcomings also occur in the kadi's daughter. Although we do not experience any serious problems, they are ready to solve any problems you may have. Positive and small suggestions etc. that we have already seen or experienced. We shared everything while we were there. The staff is professional and friendly. Because they are satisfaction-oriented, you get the feeling of a truly elegant holiday. The quality of the food is above standard and the variety is satisfactory. The facilities offered are balanced according to the number of guests. You don't have to worry about grabbing a sunbed like in some hotels. Thanks to two relax pools, you have the chance to swim calmly. The hotel management can check if the relax pool below needs some maintenance or renovation (especially if you look at the tiles and the water line). It is great that the Ficus Bar close to the beach always provides a la carte service, and that different flavor points on the road from the beach to the hotel prepare and serve fresh food (waffles, hot dogs, pancakes, baked potatoes, pizza, etc.). I think it is an important privilege that they prepare the products quickly in front of you, as you order, instead of the products being cooked and waiting as in most hotels. The same situation is in the Ficus Bar section when you look at the menu and see fried products, döner, hamburger menus, pita types, lahmacun, etc. You can order many other options such as and eat them fresh. There is already a "Time Out" restaurant in the hotel, which provides 24-hour food and bar service. There are Pearl Patisserie, Düden bars and shops on the lower floor of this place, which you should go down to. The wonderful view of Side from here is also worth seeing. Just tell the lady who is the chef of Time Out bar, I think, the cocktail you are thinking of, and they will be able to prepare it for you (there is one prepared for us in the photo). The important point here is, of course, that they show the same care to everyone, not to a certain person/persons. Thanks for the nice holiday service this summer.

We stayed here for 9 glorious night in November '24 and hands down - THE best hotel we've stayed at in Turkey! The whole place is spotless and the staff work so hard to keep it so. The room was cleaned every day if we wanted it and the minibar in the room is stocked daily too. I loved the hot rain shower and the bathroom layout in general. Theres plenty of wardrobe space and the room has tea making facilities. The food here is amazing. Theres something for absolutely everyone - even the fussiest of eaters will find something they like! We especially liked lunch time at the Timeout Snack bar, the pizza is delicious! This was our first visit to Side Star Elegance and will not hesitate in returning again soon.

Just returned from our fourth visit to this stunning hotel. Positive comments
The whole workforce are always happy and polite, never a sour face, food in abundance and of good quality, many complain about food being repetitive, we have never found it so.
Bars a staffed well with original international brands, and even local alcohol is good quality.
Cleanliness! Well you have an army of cleaners 24 hrs a day, not many hotels can boast that, everything is spotless, subsequently no flies or any other creepy crawlies.
Housekeeping is first rate, cleaned every day and fresh towels every day.
Negative
NONE
We will return again
Thank you

Would be a squeeze for 3 adults…2 twin beds which can be made int to a double plus a chair bed which can be swapped for a single, no privacy….maybe look at the family rooms which have 2 separate bedrooms.

You can get non alcoholic drinks at the ssbeach when staying at the elegance,the beach bar and small snack bar pizzas,jacket potato ect will be open but not the main outdoor food service,drinks service around the heated pool. I think on a Sunday weather depending there is a lunchtime bbq at the beach.
