Beautiful and spacious Hotel as soon as you enter through the door you get the WOW feeling 🤩
Very clean everywhere inside and outside they are taking cleaning very seriously ❤️ Rooms very spacious- i never slept so good like in this hotel 🤩
Spa is great - Hamam was very rejuvenating ❤️
The food omg 🤩 24/7 so much to eat/drink❤️🙈
The stores.. you have a feeling this hotel has everything you need 🤩
And the best part- they have the best photographer in the world Khaan - I truly recommend this to everyone. Take this opportunity to capture these beautiful moments and create memories that will last a lifetime. Whether it’s for a family album or simply to treasure forever, it’s absolutely worth it. The photographer is simply the best in the world. ❤️
This by far is the worst hotel we have stayed in. Definitely not a 5 star hotel.
Positives- animation team, bar staff and waiters/waitresses. Housekeeping too all deserve recognition. Sandy beach is stunning.
Negatives - food very repetitive, too many guests and no space for accessing any of the buffet areas, tables not set with cutlery or cleaned - this is due to lack of staff. Buffet comprised daily of burgers, chicken and rice with the usual salads etc.
We went to the a la Carte Italian meal one night. Everyone of our meals were freezing cold, people were walking out and when I spoke to Customer Relations the following day she said it is very normal due to only 2 staff working in the kitchen. Very poor response from the lady and she was not interested in what I had to say!
Rooms- we were in a family garden room. Very basic and not your usual contemporary expectations for the cost we paid and the numerous occasions visiting Turkey. Not enough seats outside for family of 4 and no tables to sit and relax.
The pools were extremely busy and the whole resort was absolutely manic. It was like the whacky races trying to get dinner and snacks with queues which were overstretched. Thousands of people entering the restaurants in the evenings and every one of their faces expressed a very stressed look.
We spent over £2,000 eating out for 12 nights and that was us spending over £5,000 on an all inclusive. Many people we spoke to said they wouldn’t come back and done the same with eating out.
This is 100% a management issue. If I could deter one family not booking this hotel then this review has been successful.
Amazing stay for our honeymoon at the Horus Paradise! Our travel agent mentioned that we were on our honeymoon and we had our room upgraded and housekeeping put flowers on our bed for our arrival. Fantastic location with only a short bus (10 euro taxi) to Side or a 30 min walk. Side old town is beautiful with plenty of shops and bars to suit everyone and the amphitheatre is definitely one to see. At the hotel there are plenty of pools to suit your vibe! Ours was definitely the pool near the bar which had music and daily entertainment. I cannot thank the entertainment team and bar staff enough (especially Ozzy!) as they all worked so hard to make our stay perfect! The hotel is full of different nationalities so can make for some really interesting conversations and new friends. The food is very European friendly so if you are a fussy eater like me you may have to search for something you like but there is so much choice I always found something. Our room was cleaned daily and towels changed when left in the shower as most hotels now. The hotel is huge with 3 different buildings and so it took us a day to figure out our way around but staff will always help out. Overall for the price we paid we could not have asked for a better stay for our honeymoon. Thank you.
The hotel is excellent; the only issue is too many stairs/hills to get to
the beach. The animation team is friendly and very attentive: Emre was the friendliest, and the evening shows and daytime activities were great. I would recommend it to everyone.
We had a fantastic family holiday at Horus Paradise Luxury Resort and would definitely rate it 5 stars.
Our room was always clean and well-maintained, and the minibar was refilled every day, which was a nice touch. The food and drinks were very good with plenty of choices. The only small downside was that some dishes were repeated quite often, but there was still enough variety to enjoy our meals.
The staff were incredibly friendly, helpful, and always smiling. They made us feel welcome throughout our stay.
The swimming pools and the beach were excellent. We spent time at the pools every day, and our little son absolutely loved them. The animation team and the evening shows were great and kept both children and adults entertained.
The only negative thing was that the hotel was very busy, especially during meal times. Sometimes it was difficult to find a free table, and we had to wait or look around before we could sit down.
We also had a professional photo session during our stay. If you're thinking about having holiday photos taken, we can highly recommend Khan. He was professional, patient, and incredibly friendly, making us feel comfortable throughout the entire session. The photos turned out amazing, and we're very happy that we decided to do it.
Overall, we had an amazing vacation and created wonderful family memories. We would definitely recommend this resort to other families, and we believe we will come back again in the future.
