Sunis Evren Beach Resort and SPA

### Review We have stayed at this hotel for the third time, and we have always been happy to return. We really appreciate its location, cleanliness, comfortable rooms, and overall atmosphere. The restaurant also deserves great praise – the food is very tasty, varied, and we always enjoyed our meals. However, this year we experienced a very difficult situation. My daughter had an epileptic seizure at the hotel. At that moment, we were frightened and did not know what would happen next. I would therefore like to express my enormous gratitude to the hotel manager, Birkan Türkdogan, who reacted immediately, provided first aid, and knew exactly how to handle such a situation. He remained completely calm and acted quickly, professionally, and with great humanity. We have gladly returned to this hotel for the third time, and after this experience, we know that in addition to high-quality services, there are also people here you can rely on when it matters the most. Thank you!

We are in this hotel now and it is amazing. The personal is very kind and always happy. It's like everyone is a big family. We are very satisified with the service and the hotel itself. Everything is near so you don't need to walk far. The beach and the pool are amazing too. There are a lot of programs. The beach is beautiful, clean and sandy. Everything is organized.

Good experience over all. It is a small hotel , for those who don't like the big busy resorts. BUT what it needs a.s.a.p is a renovation both in the reception area, which is dark, and in the rooms. You need to get rid of the brown wood and repaint everything in brighter colors. In the room the furniture is dated. The front door does not isolate properly and it's old. In the bathroom we didn't have ventilation, so imagine the steam after three people showering. The shower has only a glass and it does not close. The entertainement is aimed only at german tourists. Not a word in english. The guy resposible with shows speaks only german. They don' t even try, don' t even care. We understand that 99% of your guests are german, but the rest of us 1% feels offended and not invited. But there were also good things. The pool area is big and very beautiful, both for adults and kids. Animation in the pool is nice. The food is very good, you have three areas with food, which is great. The main restaurant, a terrace by the beach with great grills, and a terrace by the pool. The waiters are all friendly, smiley and hardworking. In the room the mini bar is completed daily with beer,water, juice. The cleaning ladies are great. The safe is free, the AC works fine and the balcony is spacious as well as the room. There is also a 24h bar in the main hall by the reception where they serve drinks all they long. That's why the reception area is very busy as people stay on the many couches or chairs to have a drink and chat. But it's noisy for those accomodated on the first floor as german tourists are very loud. There are also a few nice little shops inside the hotel. The beach is absolutely beautiful, fine sand, shallow water. You get free towels from the hotel. Very close to the hotel, just 5 min walk, there are plenty of shopping areas.

Great holiday and great resort. Staff were excellent. We were upgraded to a large room. Everything was spotlessly clean. Food was great, possibly could be kept warmer during sessions. Overall a super holiday Beach was just outside the hotel entrance. Nice sunbed area. Lots of shops close by and a short distance from Side

We have just returned from an amazing stay at the Sunis Evren Beach Hotel & Spa in Everenseki, Side. The hotel is one of the only hotels which we have stayed at in Turkey that accurately represents the official 5 Star Rating. TUI rate it as 4T Plus, we believe they should rate it as 5T. There are lots of bazaars, restaurants and shops a couple of minutes walk away. Again, it is a couple of minutes walk up to the main road to catch the number 3 dolmus into Kumkoy, Side and Side Old Town. Most establishments, including the dolmus advertise and tell you the price in euros, but will also accept sterling and lira. We arrived in the early hours of the morning, check in was quick and we were offered drinks and food and the drinks were brought over straight away. We were asked for a ‘Hotel Voucher’, all we had was the E-Ticket emailed by TUI so they photocopied this. The rooms are good with all of the amenities you would expect, plus tea & coffee and a free minibar which is restocked daily with 2 x Effes, 2 x water and 1 x 1L Coca-Cola, Fanta and Sprite. We had booked a standard twin room, but when we arrived and were shown to our room (3002), it was in fact a family room which had a twin bedroom, bathroom and a double bedroom. A plus was there was plenty of storage and coat hangers which many hotels lack. The rooms are cleaned daily and towels replaced when needed. You are given cards to get pool towels which can be exchanged daily. The only downside is the TV had no working English TV channels, this wasn’t a problem, it’s just nice having it on in the background when you are getting ready.The English channels were just a black screen. We did mention this to reception, but was not rectified. There are 4 bars one of which is 24/7. There is a wide selection of spirits, cocktails and Efes. All of which are good quality and are not watered down like in some hotels. They have a late night nightclub which was not open during our stay. There is also plenty of food to choose from 24/7. The main buffet restaurant opens for breakfast, lunch, dinner and nighttime snacks and had a wide selection of food including freshly prepared. You also have a choice of 4 a la carte restaurants (Turkish, fish, Italian or Mexican) which you can book 1 during a 7 night stay. You also have the snack bar by the pool which does ice cream and waffles in the afternoon, a bar doing freshly prepared pide and a snack bar on the beach with a wide selection. Downstairs there is also a patisserie serving a selection of cakes, drinks and ice cream. I cannot really comment on the sunbed situation as we did not sit around the pool or on the beach, but towels were down on some quite early. The entertainment is good and varied and is usually either by the pool bar or in the amphitheater. The Retro Party night by the pool was good and the night it was raining, everything was moved inside into the lobby bar. The hotel has it’s own shop, clothes shop, shoes and bag shop, silver and opticians which are reasonably priced and don’t hassle you to go in. There is also an onsite doctor’s office if needed. The entire hotel is clean and staff can always be seen cleaning or maintaining something. The staff are very good and will do anything to help. Where they do not understand something which you say in English, they go and find someone who does understand to help. A special mention goes to Hatice a waitress, who was really helpful in the restaurant and bar and would remember you and bring your drinks without asking. Overall I would thoroughly recommend this hotel and can’t wait to go back. The only downside is the manners of some of the other clientele, but this is not something they can help with. The staff seem really pleased when we were saying please and thank you to them. There is also not a dedicated luggage room to leave your luggage once checked out with everything left in reception.
