This charming hotel is located by a beautiful long sandy beach, within wonderful green grounds. The town centre with its many shops, cafés, bars and restaurants is just 3.8 km away where Side's spectacular amphitheatre, museum and the Temple of Apollo can also be found. Manavgat Waterfalls are 10 km away. There are public transportation links and a taxi station in front of the hotel.
Really enjoyed our stay here. Lovely resort, loads of activities to do nearby. Excellent breakfast spread. I want to give a special mention to the staff members Hatice and Suat - they are fantastic hosts, genuinely warm, friendly and constantly helpful. It made such a difference to our experience feeling so taken care of. Thank you Hatice and Suat!
Easily the best Hotel in Side. Located right on the beach with its own beach area and pier. The rooms are big, spotless and cleaned to perfection. All the staff are wonderful and go out of their way to make your stay the best it can be. If you want to get a Taxi to venture further afield, they will call it for you and it is there in 2 minutes. Their are loads of shops though withing a few minutes walk. The food is incredible - so much choice and enough staff on hand to make sure that you are always looked after and the cleanliness of the restaurant is WOW. Their are 2 a la carte restaurants, both are included in the price and are both superb. Their are ample sun beds, no sunbed wars here ! The evening entertainment is fantastic - two shows - one on a stage at the pool bar and one at a large amphitheatre - and the Laser light and music show is definitely not to be missed - incredible. The beach bar is so relaxing. In short, the perfect holiday - nothing is too much trouble for the staff here who really do deserve all the praise you can give them.
Stayed here for 1 week in June with our 10 year old grandson and I don't think we could have chosen a better place that suited everyone's needs.
The place is spotless and the staff throughout the hotel are so pleasant and happy to everyone. The lady on the egg station in the morning will wake you up with her joyous greeting.
The food everywhere was of a decent standard for all inclusives and the buffet is one of the best for food and layout.
The pools are very child friendly, our grandson started the holiday not being able to swim and by the end of it he was away doing it.
I recommend doing the a la carte restaurants they are really good especially the Mediterranean one. If you have children in the a la carte they have a special child's menu or they will cook something else for them.
All the drinks are top notch brands and the staff even remember your drink after a day or so.
All in all I would definitely recommend this hotel and I wouldn't hesitate to return.
The only real problem I had was the Easyjet rep which is still being investigated but that is not the fault of the hotel.
Just returned home after a last minute holiday and once again our expectations were not just met but overly exceeded. Every single day spent here was an opportunity to enjoy this magnificent by the sea Resort with its unique gardens, swimming pools, restaurants, bars, clean rooms with stunning views, a place where you just need to sit back and enjoy their amazing drinks which are to die for and the absolutely delicious food. From the first minute of our arrival we have been met with smiles, respect, professionalism and overall just a lovely atmosphere. I am taking this opportunity to thank Mr Emre Erdem RDM for his hospitality for his kind and warm welcoming and for the beautiful accommodation and for being such a lovely guest.

Just returned from a fantastic week at Arum Barut Collection. We stayed in a family delux suite and really appreciated the separate room and individual beds(not sofa bed) for the 13 and 16 yr olds. Room was immaculate and restocked minibar everyday. Pool was great, and found our perfect spot, some parts are busier than others and we preferred a quieter area and got just what we wanted. Food was amazing throughout and we did the à la carte Akasya on the last night and well worth it. Staff are amazing and special mention has to go to Cagla on guest relations who goes above and beyond as a matter of course. Our favourite part of the holiday was being greeted by our waiter Mehmet each evening who was such a lovely and friendly person and an absolute credit to the hotel. The location was great with a walkway along the beach front from the hotel into Side. Entertainment was just the right time and the hotel felt 5 star from top to bottom. Gym was very well equipped and clean able to do proper weights as well as machines and cardio . We would definitely book again!!!!
