Super

We are currently here for the 5th day, everything is very good!!! It is the 5th hotel in Turkey that we have stayed at (starlight, belconti, juju, green bay). This hotel has a very high rating of 9 on Booking, and it fully deserves it. The hotel is old, consisting of 2 blocks, one main and one additional, and because everything is well organized, extremely clean everywhere, the staff is highly appreciated, they put in the effort in everything. Honestly, from my own experience, I would compare the attitude of the waiters and staff to that of a juju. The large territory has places to spend time, slides for adults and slides for children, large and clean pools, the beach is very large, there are enough sun loungers for everyone, the beach is combined sand and gravel, the water in the sea is very clean, there are places on the shore entering the water at 2-3 meters and it is steep (deep) for children without parents it is very dangerous for that reason I noticed that there are 3-4 lifeguards throughout the day supervising that everything is ok, the entrance to the water is not rocky it is pleasant to the touch with the feet some people get confused because it is rocky I personally have special glasses that I dived to admire the beauty of the sea shores and I saw the water being very very clean and the whole seabed is like a rock with bumps but not sharp and it makes a beautiful view admiring various beautiful and big fish! The food is also very tasty, before we came we read reviews that the food is repetitive, it's wrong, we're already on our fifth day and there's always something diverse, as I mentioned before, the waiters in the restaurant make the most of their effort, always very neat and everything is clean. On the territory every day there are various activities for both children and adults. Ice cream always on the territory never ends. Various drinks, cocktails, etc. (ultra all inclusive) feels... In my opinion, the hotel is old BUT maintained to the maximum with all the necessary things + everything neat and clean, by the way, I have not seen wifi in any hotel yet - extremely good, I was at the beach in the sea and I received SMS via messenger, I'm not even talking about the rooms, I never had any errors, and one more thing, the rooms are very spacious (in an additional building, not the main one)

Good Location and Friendly Staff, but Not a True 5-Star Experience

We spent our holiday at Kaya Side and had a mixed experience overall.

One of the positives is the hotel’s location. It is not situated in the center of the resort, but rather in a quiet area, which we found to be a real advantage for those looking for a more relaxing and peaceful vacation.

The highlights were the swimming pools, which were clean and well maintained, and the staff, who were friendly and helpful throughout our stay. The beach is pleasant, with good sand, although the entrance into the sea becomes deep quite abruptly, which may be something to consider for families with small children.

As for the rooms, in our opinion they do not meet the standards of a 5-star hotel and are closer to a 3–3.5-star level. Our first room had a strong moldy smell, so we had to request a room change. Unfortunately, the overall impression is that the entire hotel is in need of renovation and modernization.

The food was plentiful, but the selection was very repetitive from day to day. This may not be an issue for everyone, but personally I would have appreciated a wider variety of fish and seafood dishes.

Overall, the hotel has some positive aspects, particularly the quiet location, pools, beach, and staff, but the condition of the rooms and the need for a general renovation prevent it from delivering the experience one would expect from a 5-star resort.

Kaya Side -trap

It isn't a hotel of 5 stars. They demand extra money for everything, for italian night, for cleanning, for a good room. Pick other hotel, this onr is a trap

Good hotel

Just returned from a lovely week at this hotel . First off it’s not 5 star as it’s advertised , it’s max 4 star . Generally good everywhere , nice rooms , pools. Bars etc . Food was excellent everyday apart from the bbq alacarte , it’s just the buffet food served on the beach . And the beach is rather scruffy with old sun loungers and always full , people down there at break of light . Animation team , waiters , waitresses all wonderful and very polite . Not many English but plenty of rude Russians who just barge in the queue. Overall very pleasant stay would definitely return .
