- Horus Paradise Luxury Resort

The resort lies by a long, sandy beach and is approximately 2.5 km from the centre of the historical resort of Side. Local amenities, such as restaurants, bars, clubs and shops, are close by and public transport runs from the main road. This complex is set in large gardens reaching down to the beach. There are a total of 680 rooms, and a number of on-site facilities and services are offered. For wining and dining guests may choose between a main restaurant, à la carte restaurants and a couple of bars. A conference room is available to business travellers and parking facilities are provided for those arriving by car. The outdoor complex features a number of swimming facilities and a range of water sports. Indoors, guests will find a SPA centre offering treatments and massages. Wlan is chargable and avaible all Hotel area.
Due to the surrounding area and the number of steps around the hotel, it may not be suitable for those with mobility difficulties.
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.
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.
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.
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. ❤️
Family vacation in Horus hotel was great. Food, Drinks, Swimming Pools, Slides, Sea, Beach and People are perfect. One Pearson was extra special, this is photographer Khaan, who works at hotel studio for Photography. He made photos for our family and his touch was a memory we will never forget. We took all the photos plus family album. He is one incredible Pearson and one Top Photographer ... eL Maestro🌟 You need to experience it and your Turkey vacation will have one extra star.
