Side Star Beach Hotel – Ultra All Inclusive

First Impressions

Pulling up to Side Star Beach Hotel – Ultra All Inclusive for the first time, you immediately get that feeling — the one where you just know you picked right. It’s a proper five-star setup, and it shows from the moment you walk through the entrance. The scale of the place is impressive without feeling cold or corporate, which honestly isn’t always easy to pull off. There’s a warmth to it, something that makes you want to slow down before you’ve even checked in.

Location & Neighborhood

The hotel sits in Side, one of Turkey’s most beloved coastal towns on the Turquoise Coast — and not just any part of Side, but what’s consistently rated the top area in the whole destination, with a location score of 9.7. Couples especially seem to fall for this spot — and I get it, because the setting genuinely feels made for a two-person escape. You’re close enough to the ancient ruins and the old town to wander over on a whim, but tucked away enough that the resort itself feels like its own little world.

The Room & Comfort

The room options here are well thought out — spacious, clean, and finished with that attention to detail you’d expect from a luxury property. Everything feels considered rather than just ticked off a checklist. I mean, when the basics are done this well, it sets the tone for the whole stay. You’re not going to find yourself hunting for extra towels or fiddling with a broken air con — it just works.

Food & Dining

Okay, the food — this is where the hotel really earns its reputation. The Ultra All Inclusive setup means you’re eating well from morning to night, and the meals here are genuinely recommended, not just in a “well, it’s included” kind of way. Breakfast is a full continental and buffet spread, which is exactly what you want before a long beach day. The restaurant keeps things interesting throughout the day, and you won’t find yourself bored or eating the same thing twice if you don’t want to.

Why Guests Love It

Beyond the beach and the food, there’s actually a lot going on here if you want it. The spa and wellness center is a proper retreat — the kind of place where you can disappear for a few hours and come back feeling like a different person. There’s also a fitness center for those who can’t fully switch off, and a game room that’s great if you’re traveling with someone who needs a bit of variety. Parking is free and on-site, which is a small thing but genuinely appreciated if you’re renting a car to explore the region. With a guest rating of 8.9, it’s the sort of place that earns its stars honestly — and you’ll understand why the moment you settle in.
