We are currently enjoying our holiday at Arum Barut Collection, and everything has been absolutely amazing. From the moment we arrived, we have loved the wonderful atmosphere, beautiful surroundings, and, most importantly, the incredibly friendly and helpful staff.
The food and meals are fantastic, with a great variety and excellent quality. Everything is well organised, and you can really feel the attention to detail throughout the hotel.
In our opinion, this is one of the best — if not the best — hotels in Side. We are having a fantastic holiday and would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a high-quality, relaxing and enjoyable stay.
A special thank you to Angela from the gym, who is always so friendly, kind and helpful. She always has a smile and genuinely tries to help whenever we need anything. She is a real credit to the hotel.
Thank you to the whole team at Arum Barut Collection for making our holiday so enjoyable! We will definitely be back. ❤️
Took our 2 children here and parents for 10 days holiday. Absolutely loved it. Our room was one of the nicest rooms we've ever had, 2 bedrooms, nice spacious hallway, great bathroom. Hotel food was great, lovely selection, pizzas could have been better (kids like a pizza) but otherwise brilliant. Love cook pasta station was a winner. Entertainment was a very high standard, thoroughly enjoyed the shows and foam parties around the pool. Loved the beach bar, Alper, Serkan, Mehmet and all the gents were brilliant. Super friendly, very attentive, always going the extra mile. Already looking at going back next year. Well done!!!
Overall very good, food is fantastic , staff are exceptionally friendly and helpful. The whole hotel is very clean The only negative comment I would make is that they need to turn the volume down on the music
The hotel is beautifully maintained. The staff in whatever capacity are friendly and attentive. Food is delicious wherever you eat. Just can't fault this hotel which is why this is our second visit
We just had a lovely 10 days here as a family of 16 with children ranging from 8 to 15. Highlights for us were the cleanliness of both rooms and public areas and the quality and variety of the food. Jumping off the end of the pier kept our kids entertained for hours. We were lucky to get into the à la carte restaurants but this was a real battle! You must book by email before you arrive to guarantee this. Our favourite à la carte was the Turkish one on the seafront. Generally we found the staff very friendly and accommodating but we did also have a couple of encounters of rudeness, through no fault of our own. The fitness classes were great and instructors were very uplifting. I also enjoyed running along the promenade and around the ruins and back (7km round trip) in the mornings. Trips - we did the sunset pass to Land of the Legends (highly recommend), boat trip from Side harbour (advertised as a dolphin and turtle viewing one, but we didn’t see any of these) and we went to Side Saturday morning market twice (45 min walk from hotel). Some of the family also had great massages just along the promenade from the hotel (€25). Money wise I would recommend taking a combination of lira and euros. Overall we had a wonderful time and it’s probably the only AI hotel we’ve been to where we haven’t grown tired of the food offerings. We wished we’d booked 2 weeks!
