Side Royal Palace Hotel & Spa All Inclusive

An excellent hotel. Ignore the usual moaners reviews, except to say the food is very much international, so if you prefer McDonald's, this isn't for you. The local area is very safe, there is a great beach, and Side old town is a great day out.

This is the second time I have been here and it certainly did not disappoint at all. The hotel is immaculate and clean, the staff are so attentive and always happy to help. The service is the best I have ever experienced and so much variety of food and it changes day by day. Rooms were clean and comfortable. If I had to pick on anything, it would simply be that the beds were a little hard - but still managed to sleep ok. I will certainly be returning back here without a doubt and already looking forward to booking again.

If you’re looking for an unforgettable experience, this hotel delivers — just not in the way you’d hope. The room clearly hadn’t seen a proper cleaning in a while; the dust and mystery stains gave it a charming “abandoned warehouse” vibe. As for the staff, they must be running a masterclass in how not to treat guests. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with eye-rolls and a tone that made us feel like we were really inconveniencing them by existing. Truly a five-star performance in hospitality — if the goal is to make guests want to leave early.
