Side Royal Style Hotel

Everything at this hotel is excellent and we must say without hesitation all the staff from front desk EYUP Always there to help ,and to the lobby bar where a very helpful young man Alpereengumuss as soon as he spotted us made a point of making us feel special always attending to our needs we think he liked to develop his English chatting to us a perfect gentleman. To the pool and a very special young lady ROSE from animation she encouraged my wife to take part in the aqua gym and although my wife was struggling to walk she absolutely loved it rose even came to the other pool to collect her pushing her walker round in her chair she made her the referee for the water polo rose is an absolutely lovely girl when my wife was not well she gave her a cuddle we must say Rose made my wife feel very special and made her holiday very special.We booked the Sultans Palace the food was outstanding we are not sure of the excellent waiters name but very very special it was the night of 21/9/24 and he decorated our table to a very high standard we loved it !!!!

What to say apart from what an amazing holiday this had been for the Perrys absolutely beautiful will shall return one day. We only booked this back in 2022 and now it’s 2024 planning something to look forward to is brilliant as you have something to look forward to creating memories that last a lifetime. Thanks to Mel's Travel yet again pulled this trip out the park for Cheryl I we have loved it to bits. Next Trip Martie No One Knows Where The Future Will Take Us 🏖️🥂✈️🇹🇷❤️😎

Best service was at the reception and the lobby bar. The lobby was the quietest and most beautiful area of the hotel. Otherwise, the entire hotel area was restless. The pool area was too small and there were too few sunbeds. During the week I saw one tattered drink list, otherwise I had to guess what drinks and cocktails they might have on offer. You couldn't get cocktails at the beach bar at all, the drinks were served in hot and wet glasses. The beach bar closed too early. Often the glasses, plates and cutlery were dirty. Breakfast had a good selection of everything. There was a wide variety of dishes available for lunch and dinner. Sadly I couldn’t enjoy these foods much because I got food poisoning or bacteria on the first day on hotel. When we went for lunch and dinner, the senior staff stood at the door, they never greeted or welcomed us. There were not enough waiters at restaurants and at the beach bar. They had to run like crazy to manage the understaffed shift. I felt bad that they couldn't work, as professionals really should!! The room cleaner was wonderful, I left her the best tips! The room was always cleaned well. The air conditioning in the room was installed directly above the bed, so the cold air blew directly into the bed. The bed was hard as rock and squeaked when turning the side. The drain in the room smelled every day, even though the cleaner did her best. The loud evening program ended around 23:00 - 23:30. Unfortunately, I cannot recommend this hotel based on my experience.

We spent a fortnight at Royal Style hotel. There are lots of positives to the hotel:- Hotel kept very clean. Excellent service at Reception desk. Good sized rooms. Great animation team. Lots of activities throughout the day. Good evening entertainment every other night. Could easily get a sunbed around the pool and at the beach. Lovely sandy beach 10 mins walk away with lots of shade. However there were some negatives:- Food was very disappointing. Breakfast there was no bacon, baked beans, hash browns, waffles, syrup, cereal and no proper juice. Lunch and dinner we often struggled to find something we wanted to eat. The display of food looked amazing, unfortunately it didn't taste as good as it looked. Service in the restaurant was often slow due to a lack of staff. I often had to ask for a drink at breakfast time. Tables were cleared slowly at dinner time. The majority of guests are German, Russians and Dutch. We were unaware of this when booked holiday. English is a 4th language, so often staff found it difficult to understand what we wanted. We really enjoyed our stay, but would not return due to the poor food. Despite being all inclusive, we ate out 3 times in the second week due to being so hungry.

Would recommend this hotel to everyone going to Side. Great hotel, rooms really nice - we had Swim up rooms at the back side of the hotel (away from the evening entertaiment), which was perfect. We liked everything about our stay there. Drinks and cskes could be better. But this is a matter of taste I guess.

This review notes a decline in the hotel's quality since the last visit. Despite being a generally lovely hotel with good food, some issues detracted from the experience. There was no iron in the room, and the only option was a costly ironing service. The Chinese a la carte restaurant was particularly disappointing, with me initially being refused a vegetarian option, only to be offered one later, which turned out to be unsatisfactory. The beach is fabulous, the shuttle service is very helpful, the food was great—I ate there every day—and the crepes and waffles are a bonus. The rooms were well kept except for the last two days of our stay when the room wasn’t cleaned. While the minibar was refilled and the towels were changed on one of those days, it was frustrating as we didn't stop going to the beach.
