Side Star Beach Hotel receives high marks for its attentive and friendly staff, often praised for their excellent service. Comfort and cleanliness are highlights in the well-equipped rooms, although some guests suggest they could benefit from a refresh and better views.
The range of amenities, including a well-stocked minibar and engaging animation activities, add to the enjoyment, as does the hotel's enviable beachfront location close to local shops and the old town. While the atmosphere is generally relaxing, the buffet area can become crowded.

The hotel has several bars and restaurants to choose from, and the food was always very good. The main dining room is very large with plenty of tables - we never had to wait to be seated.
The bedrooms are a little small, but they are cleaned everyday and they come with complimentary slippers, robes, minibar, and safe. The free wifi in the hotel is very good and is available in all areas, inc the beach.
The hotel was at full capacity but there were always sun beds available on the beach, even at midday. The complimentary beach towels in the branded tote bag was a nice touch!
The location of the hotel is perfect - the promenade outside the hotel is full of bars, shops and restaurants. Side Old Town and ruins are a 20 minute walk from the hotel.
The hotel and location is very well suited for wheelchair access.

A lot to digest? Read an AI-generated summary of recent traveler reviews.
Stayed here for a week in sea view room. Very impressed with cleanliness, facilities and staff, who were always friendly and remembered your drinks order. Every inch of hotel was spotless, cleaners were very thorough. Food was ample and always a good choice, I’m quite fussy eater but always found something delicious! Desserts were gorgeous. Lovely walk into Side old town, don’t miss Appollonik bar next to temple of Apollo, fantastic little bar and so friendly. You do get pestered waking in town by vendors but we found if you wear face mask they tend not to bother you. Gorgeous hotel and location and we will definitely be back!!

Lovely hotel to stay at - for what you pay it definitely does the job. Room is standard, very clean and comfortable, and the staff are very friendly and accommodating. The pool is nice, and we particularly loved the private beach - note that you need to get the sunbeds early! The animation team try to be engaging and enclusive, and some entertainment nights were better than others but we did really enjoy the Cuban Circus night. There were lots of cats around the hotel and in the streets nearby, although they seem well fed and looked after. I must note that the food was on and off - some nights there were great options and it was tasty, other nights not so much. Lots of restaurant options nearby, but be weary that you will try and get dragged into them when you walk past. Regarding COVID, you must wear masks around the hotel and wear a glove at the buffet, as well as spraying the sunbeds with disinfectant at the end of the day. Apart from that there is no social distancing. Note that when booking through TUI, make sure the app is working and be aware that the Rep doesn’t offer much around the area and tries to sell you the most expensive excursions, which are not always what you ask for. Overall it’s a very clean hotel with friendly staff and in a lovely area.

The hotel itself is very small, but very clean. The food is excellent and it is served all day, except when we arrived at the hotel late first night, they told us the restaurant is closed and we have to go outside 1 km away to find place to eat and we were very tired. Last day they told us to leave the room very early and our flight was at 6 pm. We asked receptionist to stay longer in the room and she just wrote 25 euros on the little paper. All the animations are in German language, so the rest of the people doesn’t feel comfortable. This is a good place if you speak German, and like to eat all day. The beach is very small and crowded. It is not worth five stars and money. But the center of Side city is very beautiful.

An elegant hotel in the center of Side. A perfect place for autumn and winter holidays. Directly in front of the hotel there is a whole range of shops and service outlets. Rooms small but equipped with everything you need. Minibar replenished daily with soft drinks and beer. Delicious food in the form of very rich buffets - only it is worth changing the way of frying omelettes (they are not very tasty when fried with the wrong fat). Excellent service in restaurants and bars, which even guesses the needs of guests - the only remark: very poor knowledge of English among the staff, which sometimes causes awkward or funny situations. Well organized Christmas and New Year's Eve dinner. The New Year's Eve party did not cause any inconvenience to the guests who did not participate in it (apart from the not very successful and noisy DJ performance before and after midnight). Massages offered by the hotel spa at a high level. Prices in the spa and at the hotel hairdresser are very affordable (it is not worth looking for a massage outside the hotel, because the price is pleasing, and the quality and hygiene outside the hotel leaves much to be desired). The hotel deserves its 5* rating.

This hotel is excellent. The rooms are very comfortable and well-equipped, towels and linen are changed as frequently as you want and the minibar is well stocked with drinks replaced daily. The whole complex is beautifully clean and very well maintained. The food and drink is of an excellent standard; very plentiful, and a varied choice is always on offer. You will certainly never be hungry! The hotel is in a fantastic location, right on the soft, sandy beach, and around a 15 minute walk into the pretty old town. A range of shops is right on the doorstep. Both the pools and the sea are sparkling and warm.
What really makes this hotel, however, is the staff. Everybody is friendly and incredibly hardworking, and they cannot do enough for you.
We travelled as a family of eight, with three generations, and we all had a marvellous time. We would definitely return to this hotel again in the future.

I'm on vacation in the SideStar Beach Hotel right now, we stayed 3 nights already and gonna stay for 6 days more. Pros - good tasty food with lots of meat, fish and greenary, nice staff, animation only at the evening time, almost no families with kids, territory is very small but there's plenty of places outside you may go for walking. Now the cons - the worst part about this hotel (like all hotels on this beach I guess) very little sunbeds on the beach, you have to come at 6am if you want to take a sunbed. At 7 all seats are busy already, people leave their towels and go away, though it's restricted to book the sunbeds beforehand. The hotel administration doesn't do anything about it. There are some sunbeds on the lawn and by the pool but when the hotel is full that doesn't help. Also very simple rooms with tiny bathrooms and terrible pillows (so hard!) Would say that the hotel is for tourists with simple tastes.

Dear Guest, Thank you for taking the time to tell us about your experience at the Side Star Beach Howtel. We are sorry that your experience did not meet your expectations; please allow us to express our sincerest apologies. At Side Star Beach Hotel, we strive to provide a superior service experience for every customer; therefore your feedback is very important to us. Please rest assured that we are taking the appropriate measures to address the problem and prevent future occurrence. It should also be noted that a few towels, as well as yesterday and today, which we noticed that had been reserved for a long time, were taken away by the beach staff. This topic is pursued in our hotel: and we are tried to minimize this problem with reminders and with taking away the towels. We would be very happy if you contact the guest relations department tomorrow so that we can help you. We appreciate your sharing your concerns, and it is our hope that you will give us the opportunity to better serve you in the near future. Sincerely, Hotel Management.

We had a pleasant stay. I don't have much to say negative -not enough garbage cans Picking up towels before 8:00 in the morning I've never seen this knowing that there are people who take deckchairs to the pool shade side plus sun side it would be wiser to do surveillance for his people are without embarrassment. - the Friday barbecue hold it would be smarter to place people at the table because here too the embarrassed take two tables when they are 2 or 4 people -regarding the correct dress for meals the staff has a random procedure because seeing ladies in bathing suits at meals is not pleasant These are my negatives Rooms are your own safe wifi and mini bar are free and renew every day Thank you to the housekeepers 👍👍👍👍 The food is good there is something for everyone Self-service ice cream next to the pool bar The beach is maintained as is the Inn Good stay for the following

hotel immaculate in every way. customer relations girls absolutely outstanding. hotel staff very friendly, food good but not outstanding, prefer waiter service, main self service restaraunt bit like a school canteen,waiters have no time to engage with guests, just running everywhere, wake up calls a bit hit and miss, lovely location on the beach, love the beach cafe, they should really do breakfast, snack menus should be available throughout the day, people going on trips come and go at different times, Worst thing : the view from my room was a BRICK WALL, not garden view as i booked with Jet2; Jet2 are rubbish! Side Star lovely!
