This impressive resort enjoys a privileged location in Titreyengol, situated 70 km from Antalya Airport and only 7 kilometres from Side archaeological site. This opulent property is located just a few steps from a seemingly endless sandy beach bathed in crystalline waters of the Mediterranean Sea. Surrounded by lush and verdant scenery, this establishment boasts a fabulous architectural style, luxurious décor and excellent services. The luminous guest rooms offer space and luxury to each individual guest. Elegant furnishings and soothing tones and deep-purple toned fabrics induce a sense of royalty. Each unit is fitted with individually air conditioner, shower, hair dryer, LCD TV, balcony, complimentary mini bar with water and various juices. After a busy day of sightseeing, travellers may relax with a refreshing swim in the hotel pool, play tennis or indulge in hammam while the youngest ones may let off steam at the paddling pool with slides and children playground.

Horrendous from start to finish.
Has anyone else been sexually assaulted or harassed by a member of this hotel staff. Whilst I was staying at this property I was approached a number of times by the restaurant manager of this hotel by the name of Bulut. I clearly told him on several occasions that I had no interest in him. Then he took an opportunity to corner me, alone, in the garden and tried to force me to kiss him, leaving me with a bruised and bleeding lip. I would bet my life that this would not have been the first time he'd tried such behaviour and I’m pretty sure it won’t be the last. Fortunately I managed to get away from him and back into a public area and then spent the rest of my holiday in my room, afraid to leave. Is there anyone else out there who has been to this hotel and suffered a similar situation either with this man or any other member of staff? Please let me know by replying to this review.
My stay was a disaster from the start. The state of my first rooms was very poor and certainly not what any reasonable, sensible person would consider 5 star. In my opinion this was a 3 star hotel at best. My first room had mold everywhere, damp upholstery and bedding. The bedding was too small for the bed. Curtains too small for the window, peeling wall paper, make-up hand prints on the walls. Dirty thick grime on surfaces and someone else’s bodily hairs in the bed. The second room had water leaks, not as much dirt as the first but still dirty. Bedding still too small and a balcony that had a gap a small could fall through.
I would definitely not recommend this hotel to anyone. Apparently, this is a third party hotel not supplied by TUI and therefore, they do not accept any responsibility for any of the problems. As a result they have sent me a standard “computer says no” response basically saying sorry we’re not prepared to do anything. If anyone has suffered any form of harassment at this hotel please get in touch. It is very important that this does not happen to anyone else at any hotel in the future and it is only by speaking out and sticking together that we have any hope of stopping this.

Great staff, lovely hotel
Just back from 10 days at the hotel.
Location was ok a bit middle of nowhere but regular buses and shuttles to Side and Manavgat so not an issue
I had a family interconnecting room and requested a larger one as know there are varying sizes and the hotel accommodated me so the room was brilliant 2 adults and 2 teens
Staff were fantastic all of them huge shout out to Handy and Marco ( Abdul) entertainment plus Umit the star of bar staff !
Hotel in general was good
Only negative personally I found the food very average and very repetitive breakfast in particular was poor.
But we went out a lot so was ok for us.
Mainly French , Russian and English travellers
Water Side Resort and Spa hotel
We have just returned from a lovely family holiday at Water Side Resort, travelling as a family of six across two separate bookings.
Before travelling, I contacted the hotel to ask if they could arrange for our rooms to be close together. I also mentioned that we had teenagers who would benefit from a larger room, as I had read previous reviews commenting that some of the rooms were quite small. The hotel was fantastic in accommodating our requests. We were given lovely rooms close together, all with beautiful views, and the interconnecting family room was particularly spacious.
The staff throughout the hotel were very friendly and helpful. The activity team work incredibly hard, and Abdul and Handi were brilliant. They were always checking that we had everything we needed and genuinely couldn’t do enough for us.
The bar staff in the lobby area were also very friendly and hardworking, especially Umit, who always went the extra mile and made us some lovely special cocktails.
The pool area was another highlight. The pool is huge and there was plenty of space around it. We were also pleasantly surprised by the availability of sunbeds, especially considering we travelled in August — there were always plenty to choose from!
The only area where we felt the hotel could improve was the food. Although you could see that the hotel was making an effort to provide variety, we found the food to be okay rather than outstanding. Breakfast in particular was disappointing and seemed to cater more towards other nationalities, while the evening meals felt quite repetitive.
The hotel is in a fairly remote location, but getting around was easy, with buses and taxis readily available. We visited Side, which was lovely and definitely worth a visit.
Overall, we had a very good family holiday and enjoyed our stay at Water Side Resort. The hotel, staff, pool and location all contributed to a great break, and we would happily recommend it, with the food being the main area we feel could be improved.
Rude bar manager
Overal hotel is good, could do with better cleaning in the rooms and definitely better pillows. Staff are ok, although could do with a smile. Murat, the bar manager in reception area is definitely NOT very pleasant or friendly. Seems to be friendly to Turkish people but makes up the rules as he go along. We were getting rainbow non alcoholic coctails for kids in the evening but when he was on shift bar staff were not allowed to make it. He told us off for having backlava and coffee in the lobby area despite of both pastries and coffee being available in the same area. Very rude and unpleasant man making not only paying guests but also his own bar staff uncomfortable
Very good
Very good holidays.
We are family of 4, spend Very good holidays in hotel.
Location is in a quiet area. Hotel big ,clean. Staff very friendly and hard working. Food very good, plenty of options. Room cleaned daily, towel changed daily. Bedlinen changed 3 times in a 10 days holidays. Swimming pool in good size. Plenty of a sunbeds around.
We had a lovely time.
Also I want to highly recommend professional photographers working in a hotel . We had a family session with them. Beautiful pictures, lovely atmosphere.
Highly recommend 👌 👍 👏.
