We had an amazing all-inclusive holiday at Miramare Beach in Side and completely understand why so many people rate it so highly. One of the first things we noticed was how stylish and well looked after the hotel is. The rooms, restaurants, bars and shared areas are all spotless, modern and finished to a high standard. The gardens are beautifully maintained too, with plenty of palm trees and greenery that give the whole resort a really relaxing, tropical atmosphere. The food was consistently good, with plenty of choice and different themed nights that stopped it becoming repetitive. The branded drinks were a nice bonus, and having a mixologist making cocktails definitely added to the experience. We also appreciated the little extras like the water refill stations, the patisserie, and the beach parties, which were always good fun. The gym deserves a mention as well—it has everything you need and was never overly busy while we were there. The entertainment team really made our holiday. A huge thank you to Posha, Mustafa and Tarik, who were absolute standouts from start to finish. I must mention Mustafa as being an amazing magician aswell with his tricks that confused me. They worked incredibly hard every day, got everyone involved and created such a friendly atmosphere around the hotel. They deserve loads of credit because they genuinely made a difference to our stay. The daily beach volleyball became one of the highlights of each day. The only thing I’d suggest improving would be the evening singers, who were a little too relaxed for our taste. The location is another big plus. The hotel sits right by the beach, there’s no shortage of shops nearby (including plenty selling designer-inspired goods), and the historic town of Side is only a short journey away. Walking around the harbour is lovely, and the Roman ruins are definitely worth taking the time to explore. A couple of things future guests should know: there are quite a few families with young children, so the hotel has a lively atmosphere during the day, although there are still plenty of peaceful areas to unwind. During our stay, the majority of guests—probably around 80%—were German, which makes sense given the hotel’s ownership. Occasionally there was a slight language barrier with some bar and restaurant staff, but everyone was always polite, welcoming and happy to help. The weather was incredibly hot while we were there, regularly exceeding 40°C with high humidity, so make sure you come prepared if you’re visiting in the middle of summer. Overall, we had a fantastic experience. The staff genuinely care about making sure guests enjoy their holiday, and that really shows. We wouldn’t hesitate to come back and would happily recommend Miramare Beach to anyone considering staying here.

First class and fun

We’ve had a fantastic all-inclusive stay at Miramare Beach in Side and can honestly see why it receives such consistently high ratings. What stood out most for me was the tasteful décor throughout the hotel. The rooms, bars, restaurants and public spaces are all beautifully designed, modern and impeccably clean. The attention to detail is obvious everywhere you look, and I especially loved the lush gardens, palm trees and overall tropical feel of the grounds. The food was varied, fresh and genuinely tasty, with themed evenings that kept things interesting. The branded drinks were another welcome touch, and the mixologist added a nice premium feel to the experience. Other great touches included the water stations around the hotel, the patisserie, and the beach parties which created a fun atmosphere. The gym is excellent—well-equipped and, during our stay at least, surprisingly quiet. A special mention must go to the entertainment team. Mustafa, Posha and Tariq consistently went above and beyond to involve guests, create a great atmosphere and make everyone feel welcome. Ask Mustafa for card trick by sun loungers. The daily beach volleyball was a real highlight and something I looked forward to every day. If I had one small suggestion, it would be that the evening singers could be a bit stronger, as they were quite gentle. The location is excellent too. You’re right on the beach, with plenty of shops nearby including the inevitable designer fakes, and the beautiful old town of Side is only a short trip away. The marina is lovely to stroll around, and the extensive Roman ruins make it well worth visiting. A couple of things worth knowing before you book: there are lots of families with young children, which gives the hotel a lively feel during the day, but it still respects quiet times and offers plenty of space to relax, especially with the long hours of sunshine. During our stay I’d estimate that over 80% of guests were German, reflecting the hotel’s German ownership. Communication with some bar and restaurant staff could occasionally get a little lost in translation, but everyone was friendly and helpful. The weather during our stay was extremely hot—40+ degrees daily with very high humidity—which of course can’t be helped, but it’s worth being prepared for. Overall, this is a hotel where the staff genuinely go above and beyond to ensure you have a great holiday. We’d happily return and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it.

Excellent stay

We're currently 10 days into a 12-night stay at Miramare Beach Hotel and have had a fantastic holiday overall. The hotel is modern, stylish and maintained to a very high standard, with all areas kept spotlessly clean. Before we arrived, Tamar was incredibly attentive to our room requests and even introduced himself when we checked in, which was a lovely personal touch and set the tone for the excellent service. The gardens are beautiful, with plenty of palm trees and shaded areas where you can relax on sunbeds. The hotel has a strict no sunbed reservation policy, which staff actively enforce, meaning there were always beds available – even if we didn't come down until around 11am. The food has been plentiful with lots of choice, and the themed evenings helped keep things varied throughout our stay. We also tried the Italian à la carte restaurant. It was nice to be served at the table rather than using the buffet, although it would have been even better if the setting felt more distinct from the main restaurant. The fish à la carte looked excellent too, but despite staying for 12 nights we were only able to book one à la carte meal, which was a little disappointing. The patisserie deserves a special mention. It's perfect for a coffee break, offering an impressive range of drinks you'd expect from a dedicated coffee shop, including hot and iced coffees, matcha, flavoured syrups and more, alongside delicious cakes and pastries and good quality icecreams Every morning Kevser greeted me with a warm hello whilst preparing my coffee. Pool service is another highlight. Serkan deserves recognition for rollerskating around the pool and gardens throughout the day delivering drinks directly to guests – such a fun touch and always with a smile. The entertainment is pitched perfectly: it's there if you want to join in but never intrusive. We played volleyball most days, and there were plenty of other activities including darts, aqua gym, yoga and also water polo is available at the sister hotel next door. The animation team, especially Moufasa, Tarik and Posha, did a brilliant job creating a fun atmosphere and managing activities, even when some guests became a little over-competitive! They also organised some fantastic larger events including an Ibiza-style beach party with lasers and a DJ, plus a children's festival with inflatables and bouncy castles. The rooms are spacious, modern and comfortable. Our only real criticism is the air conditioning. It couldn't be set below 23°C and one of our rooms always felt noticeably warmer than the other, making sleeping less comfortable than it should have been. The hotel also serves branded spirits, and the cocktails made by the mixologists were excellent (at the sunset bar and the cocktail bar by the 'nightclub'). The location is very convenient. The main road is just a three-minute walk away, where you can catch the bus into Side Old Town for around €1.50 each way. The journey took about 15–20 minutes in the evening because of traffic, dropping us at the bus station. From there it's a lovely walk through the ancient ruins to the old town and harbour. There are also plenty of shops, bars and restaurants just outside the hotel. One thing worth mentioning is that there were very few English guests during our stay. This wasn't an issue for us, but it may be something others would like to know before booking. Likewise, not all staff spoke strong English, so occasionally things were lost in translation. We found Google Translate very helpful whenever this happened. Overall, we've thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would happily recommend Miramare Beach Hotel. The hotel gets so many things right, and with a couple of small improvements—particularly to the air conditioning in the rooms and the à la carte booking experience—it would be close to perfect.

A great intimate hotel and currently being served at the pool bar by Sefa. He is a great representative for the hotel and like all the staff he is very friendly and helpful. Ferdi for his friendly service and cocktails, Mustafa on the animation team for his welcoming personality and management of the daily volleyball both deserve recognition. The guest relations were also extremely helpful when we spoke with them. The food is great, the staff help to ensure the daily activities are well participated, volleyball always has a good turnout. The hotel grounds, sunbeds, restaurants etc are lovely. It is a smaller, more intimate hotel and a nice relaxed atmosphere. There is a great mix of nationalities. Definately a hotel i would recommend.
