Arum Barut Collection

Great experience here. The staff from reception to room. Bar and restaurant are so friendly. And so nice. Food was fab. Ate in buffet every night we loved it. We got pizza during the day at the bar by the beach. Cocktails were fab. Rooms very clean. Mini bar stocked daily. Free crisps at bar ect. Will be back.

A lovely hotel with lovely and helpful staff and managers.

An amazing hotel! We stayed with two small kids for 11 days. We loved the family suite layout, which meant we could have our own space after the kids went to bed, or if they wanted to play in the morning while we had a lazy start. Would have been nice to have a bath, but we had bought a blow up mini pool for the beach (parent hack for sandcastle building by the deckchairs), so just used that in the shower for the kids. Kids club was brilliant for our 4 year old, and the 2 year old was able to join in some of the activities with supervision. It was all very low pressure, gentle games, with crafts and drawing every day too. The play area was great for a mix of ages with baby and preschool equipment. Mini disco was good for the little ones too. Big thanks to Gulce, Chiko and Julia for helping our daughter settle and making her feel like a princess. Because we had one in the kids club and one not, we settled on the sunbeds just outside most days. This meant our youngest could splash about in the shallow end of the heated pool, and eldest could easily come out and find us. The pool bar team were great, knowing my orders by the end of the first full day, and treating the kids to milkshakes and crisps. Thanks to Furkan, Mustafa and Ali! Reception staff were great, helping with every little thing from sorting change and removing the unnecessary cot from our room, to arranging a special surprise for our anniversary. The ladies on the guest relations desk were especially friendly and sat happily chatting to my 4 year old who wanted to ask endless questions and tell them about her day. Food was amazing! The buffet had plenty of choice and was available most of the day and night. The bonsai snack bar was also lovely for an afternoon meal with sea view, and icecream on demand. The two restaurants that were open when we went were brilliant, just a shame we didn’t get to try the burger bar or Sakura as they didn’t open until our very last day. Beach was nice. Didn’t go swimming because the kids are a bit small, but it was nice for paddling. Probably would want beach shoes as there are some big rocks under the water, but the water is clear so it’s easy to see them.

Another excellent stay at Arum Barut. 4th trip out and never disappoints. Loving the new restaurant but kept the same style and excellent food. À la carte restaurants always great service and food. Can’t thank everyone but you all do a great job with exceptional customer service even when the weathers not great. The entertainment was good too in an evening something for everyone. See you all again next year.

We had a wonderful holiday in Arum Barut Collectiion Side. Everything from checking in early morning 01.05.26 (sorry didn't catch the name of the night reception man who was incredibly professional and fast) to a last minute coffee was totally great experience. Location, food, modern clean rooms, and especially staff are all amaising. We had a couple of rainy days during our stay but found things to do without going out of the hotel - hamam, massage, snooker. We really liked archery activities and were participating in daily archery competitions run by Sefa, it was great and Sefa made it real fun(Thank you Sefa!) The town of Side is just a short ride by a small bus (the stop is a short walk to the main rroad and the fare is £1. We would also like to thank the reception manager Bairam Sengul for his kind advice and helpfulness. We really felt being well looked after. All for all we both had a relly lovely relaxing break and will be back! Mr & Mrs Stewart
