Vox Maris Resort

5 Stars Plus! I’ve travelled a lot over the years, and I can honestly say Vox Maris Resort is the best hotel I’ve ever stayed in. Everything about it was exceptional. The staff were incredible—always smiling, friendly, and genuinely happy to help with anything, even setting up umbrellas by the pool! The food was excellent with something for everyone, and the drinks and cocktails were top-notch this was available 24 hours a day. You didn't have to move you were served immediately with drinks of your choice so attentive. Rooms amazing cleaned every day beds comfortable, very modern Hotel. A special mention goes to the holiday rep from sunshine holidays —absolutely amazing! He was always just a call away if we needed anything, full of great local recommendations, and the tours they organized were brilliant. It made the whole experience even more enjoyable. Can’t fault a single thing about this stay. We’ll definitely be back!

We spent 6 days at vox maris resort, we had a lovely time everything was great that why we are giving this hotel a five star, thanks to Mustafa our UK representative he was great and most of all he went all the way out on our last day for us to go shopping definitely coming back soon. The room was clean and tidy each day, the buffet has different selection that was good, the spa was excellent , thank you again vox maris resort for making our stay perfectly wonderful.

Vox Maris Resor Vox Maris Resort is located about 60 km from the airport, which took us approximately 1.5 hours by bus. In return, the hotel is conveniently close to the ancient part of Side, a mere 20-minute walk, and just as close to the town center. The hotel itself looks relatively modern yet simple compared to other hotels in the area. It’s a new hotel, opened in May this year, but signs of frequent guest use are already visible (e.g., cigarette burns, a torn skirting board here and there). The rooms are spread across six floors in a building divided into two wings. Its centerpiece is a spacious lobby featuring a 24-hour bar and a café. The bar offers local and imported alcohol, and the bartenders are happy to serve colorful cocktails, even those not on the menu—highly recommended! The café provides good coffee, excellent tea, local sweets, and freshly made sandwiches daily. Every evening, various activities took place in the lobby, such as bingo, concerts, and karaoke. On the floor below, you’ll find a large restaurant and rooms with direct pool access (a rather narrow pool, about 1.4 m deep, perfect for a morning swim). There’s also a small souvenir shop, a store with t-shirts and knick-knacks, a photographer, a bag and suitcase shop, a hairdresser, and even an optician. Restaurant The restaurant offers a full meal package. The menu is highly diverse, with minimal repetition beyond a few staples. Themed dinners, fresh seafood, fish, delicious lamb, and other Turkish and international delicacies, including beautifully presented and tasty desserts, were highlights. Every day, the desserts changed, and those that weren’t eaten were moved to the café, where they quickly disappeared. We stayed in a room with one double and one single bed. The room overlooked the pool, but despite the daily entertainment there, the noise was inaudible once the window was closed. The room was cozy, bright, and spacious, with a small balcony equipped with chairs and a table. The minibar was restocked daily (soft drinks, water, and beer). There was also a TV with a few Polish channels. Rooms were cleaned daily, with fresh linens and towels unless we signaled otherwise using a special switch. A nice touch from the cleaning staff was the towel art that greeted us. The wardrobe also contained a free safe. The bathroom had a large, open shower, a sink with a spacious countertop, a hairdryer, and standard toiletries. Hotel Grounds The hotel area is well-maintained, not overly large but lush with greenery, making it pleasant to the eye. There is a central pool 1.4 m deep, three slides with a smaller pool, and a children’s paddling pool with a mini slide. The pool area had enough loungers, and we never encountered the dreaded “lounger reservation” problem. There’s a poolside bar open from 10 AM to 10 PM (or 3 AM), and on the opposite side of the pool is the Food Stop, where ice cream, waffles, and fast food were served until 5 PM. Above the Food Stop was a stage a

Amazing. Hotel stayed here for 3 nights & cannot fault it staff , food drinks all really good beach bar & shuttle also really good service . Hotel really modern & spotless everywhere only hotel I would ever come back to when in area again . Keep up the good work & thank you

Overall, a lovely stay at Vox Maris. We were apprehensive due to it being a new hotel, but no issues. We are used to hotels where staff are very friendly and say hello etc when they see you. This isn’t a thing here apart from the entertainment team. Food: Plenty of choice and good if you’re not fussy. My partner is fussy and found it difficult to find evening meals. Used snack bar throughout the day (good choice of pizzas, burgers and waffles). Breakfast and dinner were very busy, queues and not enough seating. Would hate to see how busy it would be in the summer months. Desserts- those horrible, processed cakes that look lovely but taste of nothing. Nice selection of fruit. Waffle and ice cream stand is great- should be an option after evening meal. Rooms: Basic but clean and modern. Mini bar is restocked daily. Booked a land view room and you’re literally looking at a derelict hotel and carpark. Offered a pool view for €10 extra a day. The swim up rooms look lovely and have the sun most of the day. Pool area: Very clean, people always walking around tidying and collecting glasses etc. We got good sun loungers everyday. The hotel says “no reserving sun beds”, but lots are reserved. Other bits: Be prepared for everyone smoking, around the pool, snack area, bar. It is everywhere. If you’re English, be prepared to be the only ones/one of few. Bar staff speak to you in German. Overall, would recommend the Vox Maris but probably won’t return. Very simile to other “5 star” resorts in Turkey.

We are currently staying at the Vox Maris in room 1214 and we can’t fault it, we have been to Side many times, so we know that this hotel is in an excellent quiet location for the Old Town, harbour, local bars and restaurants. There is a ‘cut through’ just across the road that takes you to the bus station and old town, only 10 minutes walk or the local bus stops outside the hotel regularly. Our room is very comfortable and cleaned spotlessly each day. The food and drinks are excellent with plenty of choice. The staff are all friendly and chat to you whenever they can. Reception staff have been especially helpful and speak good English. The hotel shuttle bus to the beach operates every 15 minutes although it’s only a 10 minute walk anyway between the sand dunes to the beautiful sandy beach. We have no idea why there are any negative reviews as this is a top class Turkish hotel and we will certainly be returning again in the future
