You guys are amazing for your videos! I've just booked for me... Dad and my two teenage daughters in late June! I always look for decent videos on any holidays I book and yours covers everything for me. Thanks for your hard work uploading them and giving us a great insight.
What a wonderful comment, thank you so very much & for watching. It's comments like these that really make you think this is why we do it!, put videos out there on RUclips - some do great, others maybe not but it's when you give some great info and do a good job and get great feedback like this. Thank you, your comment has made my New Year...and we are not there yet ha ha. Honestly, thank you it means a great deal to get feedback like this, Happy Holidays! and a Happy New Year. The Brownie Life.
It's a great place, as I have said in the video some things especially food is quite subjective and some things are personal with your likes and dislikes, but we are looking again at the moment at holidays and honestly this place stands head and shoulders above many others, especially for the price!. You will have a great holiday there. We are so glad our videos have been useful...makes it all worth it to help others. Thanks again for watching and subscribing. Next set of videos, hopefully starting tomorrow are a few short videos of the Dolmus from the Hotel to Side, a little walk around Side, the ruins and a Restaurant we visited - hopefully they might be useful also.
Another fantastic informative video, on the strength of watching this and your review on the hotel itself we plan to book for next year. Can you remember the transfer time from the airport please?
Thank you so much for your comments and sorry for the delay in replying...I do like to respond asap and respond to all our comments as we really appreciate everyone taking the time to reach out to us. So pleased you are considering going to the Side Star Resort...I can also highly recommend our last holiday to Crete (videos on channel) in case you were interested. I loved the Side Star Resort, but the Aquila Rithymna Beach Hotel in Crete in my opinion was even better - however, for different reasons and maybe not as 5 star as the Side Star Resort. Both great holidays!. Thank you for your kind comments of this been a great video. From memory the transfer to and from the Airport was 50 mins going (early hours of the morning) and an 1 hour going back. Be warned the Airport is very expensive!. Thanks for watching.
Just an update since your reply, we have now actually booked the Side Star Excellence, maybe a sister hotel to the one you stayed in. The only reasons we went for that one is the beach looks better and it is closer to Side itself. Strangely the one on Crete you mentioned was on our list of possibles so it looks like that could be the next one we book. Not had chance to view your report yet but going on your previous videos it with be good. Keep them coming and happy holidaying
@@grand2208 Thanks so much for the update, lovely to hear that you have booked your holiday. I think all the Side Star Hotels are very similar...just will all have their own special things with some things the same -Side Star Excellence will be wonderful I am sure. For your next holiday definitely have a look at the Aquilla Rithymna Beach Hotel in Crete, it was one of the best holidays we have had - catch the videos under Crete 2023 playlist when you can and they will give you a good insight and a guide as to whether you think you would like for a future trip. Thanks for the lovely comments about our videos, really appreciate. Enjoy your holiday when you go.
@@grand2208 Thanks so much for subscribing to our channel. I wasn't sure if you had looked at the other Turkey videos, but there are videos on the Turkey 2023 playlist, including time spent in Side and a Restaurant there and the Dolmus getting there...hope all the videos help.
Yes, a beautiful Hotel...we also visited Crete more recently and stayed in a 5 star Hotel there - Aquila Rithymna Beach Hotel, that was such a wonderful holiday. Check out any of our other videos and subscribe if you like our content. Thanks for your comment and watching us - means a great deal to hear from people that are enjoying our videos, thanks.
I am liking the style of your videos and this is the third one I've watched so far. Had to watch this one with an open mind but won't bore you with the problem with Turkey and Cyprus. I cannot imagine how the Turkish A La Carte could make a desert out of Tahini/Halva as it is a paste made out of sesame seeds. Very good looking hotel.
Thanks for watching and I agree about the paste and dessert...it didn't taste too good!. The Hotel was stunning though. Really great that you like our style videos, we are enjoying making them!.
Hi, thanks so much in watching our videos and so glad you have enjoyed. Definitely check out the full playlist for our Turkey videos, as there may be some other helpful videos. We didn't eat at the beach bar...I wasn't that keen on the beach bar when we went to see some entertainment there and if i'm honest not the best views!. We decided that the pool bar was so good and the views around and atmosphere around was great that we stuck with that!. I don't think the pool bar would disappoint anyone, something for everyone!, enjoy your trip!. Let me know if I can be of any further help. Thanks again for watching us. The Brownie Life.
We had a free child place and prices can obviously differ from school holidays, summer to more quiter times will obviously be cheaper. We booked with Jet2 very close to going as a late deal, so much so that we couldn't get seats together on plane.
Hi ladies. Thanks for the footage of the Side Star Resort. I’m going here on the 27th July with my family for 10 nights. My 2 children want to know if you can get burgers at the pool bar 😂 Easily pleased lol. Is the red wine nice at the hotel? Alan
Hi there, thank you so much for watching!. The Side Star Resort honestly knocks most other places out of the water right now...we have been looking at holidays and it's difficult to match that place. All places have their pros and cons, I assume you have watched the videos on the Hotel and Food?, they hopefully give good info. Burger wise, yes there are burgers at the pool bar next to the Panini station and to the furthest left of the bar. Red wine also good - my husband had a few nights and enjoyed (both red and white were much better than we thought it would be). Hope that answers things. The main drinks we thought were a little poor were cocktails, the rest were good. Thanks again.
@@jessscott-k8u The hotel is absolutely amazing. I’ve stayed in lovely hotels all around the world and this is one of the best by far. The staff treat you like royalty.
Hi there, thank you so very much in watching our video and taking the time to comment. From memory, I am pretty sure that they ask about food allergies or preferences at reception upon check in when they explain the all inclusive. Firstly, even if they don't do this - I would advise them upon check in and they are prepared to advise you of everything you need to know. The food there, although some things with meat there were many options without, a massive array of salad for each sitting in the main dining area. One place you can't miss is the lunch at the pool bar, the food is excellent. The Pannini, Pasta and Jacket Potato stations all had fresh food that you could order what you wanted - so you could absolutely have vegetarian options in all of those stations. Breakfast time there would be many suitable options also. I think the main issue could be the Al a carte Restaurants, as I am sure on the Turkish and Mexican ones there were mainly meat options, but the Asian one had some vegetarian options. It might be that once you are booking at any of the Al a Carte Restaurants maybe the booking person (see video for details) could help advise on options within each of the 3 Restaurants, or maybe they could change something accordingly to make vegetarian for you?. I am sure there would be some variety for a vegetarian going to this hotel, but as I say if you mention at check in I am sure they will do everything they can to point you in the right direction. Have a fantastic stay!. Thanks again for watching and if you watch our other videos in our Turkey 2023 Playlist for other information and if you require anything else just get in touch. The Brownie Life.
Hay thank you for this video =) i think about it next year to go in this hotel but can you answer me one thing ^^ is there a vitamin bar with fresh smooties for 2 euros ?? i was this year in the neighbour hotel and the smoothies was amazing someone tell me all hotels have this but i dont find a notice about this thank you =)
Thanks for watching.. From memory I think it was just Orange juice that was fresh at a charge. I don't remember seeing Smoothies. The freshly squeezed Orange Juice was not included in All Inc so was a charge and I think it could have been 2 Euros.
Drinks and Cocktails were a bit mixed, most were ok though. We had cocktails, gin & tonic, Bailey's, wines and lager and majority of the drinks were ok for All Inclusive. Coffees, soft drinks were ok too and some branded things. Bottled waters easy to get from bars and outside cabinets where they make the Turkish pancakes. Considering an All Inclusive we have been to since this holiday in Kefalonia...the Side Star drinks were very good in comparison. Thanks for watching!.
Being in a all inclusive hotel, was there any chance to leave the hotel and explore Turkey or did u just stay in the hotel throughout your hotel. I’m frm London and I’m thinking of booking for me & my sons for February 2024
Hi there...you can definitely head out of the Hotel and we went into Side itself and also dined out for a lovely meal. Check out our Turkey playlist for 2023 and all our videos for that holiday are on there, showing you how you get to and from the Hotel in Side and some footage of Side and the beautiful Restaurant we visited. Hope more of our Turkey videos are helpful. Any other questions just drop us a comment.
Another great vlog
Lovely you are enjoying, thanks for watching and taking the time to comment

Who doesn't love a good quesadilla? 😋
The Mexican Restaurant was very good there!, thanks for watching.
Hi love your videos we are heading to this hotel in April.
The pool bar looks the best choice for lunch. Did you eat at the beach bar at all?

Could you advise if there are any vegetarian options there i just booked recently.
