The hype
Guests love the grand architecture, the massive pool area, and the friendly animation team, but often complain about the chaotic dining hall during peak hours.
Oz Hotels Side Premium
$150-250/ Nacht
Buchen Sie dieses Hotel, wenn You want the 'Instagram 5-star' aesthetic and massive pool complex without paying Rixos or Maxx Royal prices.
Warum Gäste es lieben
- Massive 2,000 m² spa center with a stunning Turkish hammam
- Wizard Ozz kids' club and aquapark keep children occupied for hours
- Food quality in the main buffet is consistently rated fresh and diverse
Kurzfassung: A solid mid-range resort masquerading as ultra-luxury—great value if you don't look too closely at the grout or expect top-shelf liquor for free.
Bewertet von @A1: I honestly didn't expect the spa to be this chill given how crazy the water slides are. I spent my mornings relaxing by the Buddha statues while the rest of the family went wild at the aquapark. It’s a massive property, but that just means there’s something for everyone.
Was Gäste, die hier übernachtet haben, sagten
Reality check
The 'Ultra' All-Inclusive label is misleading—fresh juice, imported drinks, and certain spa treatments all come with a price tag.
- You are a family needing a robust kids' club and water slides
- You enjoy a lively pool scene with music and animation
- You want a spa day that looks expensive but costs reasonable Lira
Sauberkeit & Instandhaltung
8.5
- Housekeeping: Generally reliable with daily service, though 'missed spots' under beds and on balconies are occasionally reported.
- Bathroom hygiene: Bathrooms are modern and mostly clean, but watch for unsealed grout lines or minor mold in corners in older rooms.
- Maintenance: Good overall, but reports of unsealed balcony doors and 'cool' indoor pool water suggest some cost-cutting on utilities.
- Linens & towels: Standard 5-star quality, clean but not exceptionally plush. Replaced regularly.
- Odors & scents: Lobby smells of fresh perfume (pumped in), but some hallways can smell of food or dampness depending on ventilation.

5 Dinge, die Sie wissen sollten, bevor Sie losfahren
💡The 'Economy' rooms are sometimes located on the 'minus' floors, meaning you might be looking at a wall or corridor.
💡The indoor pool water is often changed during the day (10am-1pm), making it unusable during prime swim times.
💡Balcony doors in some family rooms are reported to not seal perfectly, letting in drafts and noise.
💡The 'Wizard Ozz' kids club closes for a long lunch break (12:00-14:30), so plan your own lunch accordingly.
💡You can walk to the 'Mall of Side' in about 15-20 minutes for better shopping than the hotel boutique.
