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.

Nice and relaxed
Check in was very quick, seen to room by porter. Room average size stayed in a 3 bed room a double and single. Mattress was very hard surprisingly managed to sleep ok. Shower very powerful, given toiletries of shampoo conditioner and shower gel with some cotton buds and body sponges, nice touch. And replenished. Room was cleaned every day and beds made and towels changed every day if u wanted. Just turn on the light to let cleaners know. Very small balcony not used to that so was very tight couldn’t all sit out on it at the same time. Faced onto pool lovely view of the river and the boats, first thing sun beaming onto balcony so couldn’t sit out there long.
Pool was a good size and not deep which was a bonus because many hotels in past have been very deep and not safe for children. Plenty of sun beds to go around always managed to get 4 together every day. Pool had a good atmosphere music played and pool games. Can be slippery around pools edge so recommend to walk with shoes on.
Breakfast was our least nfavourite meal of the day, there was always plenty and had a lot of hot and cold options but wasn’t always to my taste. Lunch was had either at pool bar area or the beach bar. Didnt eat at restaurant for lunch so can’t comment. The lunch time food was very nice, burgers, pizza, kebab, pasta and salads. Dinner time lots of choice only had Turkish themed night which was lovely but hoped for a couple more other choices. The desserts looked beautiful but sometimes lacked flavour and tasted quite samey very sweet but still very nice.
Drinks lots of choice from soft drinks, beer, cocktails, wine. I have to say though the cocktails in my opinion were very weak didn’t feel tipsy once. Another thing they never had milk at the beach bar or pool bar so if u wanted a tea with the afternoon teatime cakes from 4.30-5.30 we had to ask at the lobby bar. Ice creams served from 2-5pm everyday wasn’t help yourself service of different ice cream/lollys, was served by the staff of vanilla, strawberry or chocolate in a cone or tub.
Entertainment of an evening was good every night something different. From magician to dancing. Can get quite busy though for tables wasn’t many, so would recommend to get a table early but was always enough seats.
Overall we had a good holiday hotel was clean throughout and was quite laid back atmosphere but wouldn’t return here because there wasn’t enough to do in the area, hotel is located quite far from shops and other bars but was nice if you wanted a relax quiet place so would recommend for that.
Very good

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
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.
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
