Thank you, i don’t recall they were serving directly on the beach, but you could get drinks from the beach bar and just walk over. Drinks were limited on the All Inclusive package when I went, I think soft drinks were included and alcohol you had to pay for. Otherwise the All inclusive was great I loved it! I hope you enjoy if you go next year!
I have also stayed at the Arum Barut and Side Star Elegance this year which are both amazing hotels too. I love to walk in the morning and having access to the prom at the beach is fab. I was going to return to the Side Star but as it is not adults only and my dates fall in the English school holidays, I was looking at the Raga. It does look fab. Think we will definitely give it a go. Side is my favourite part of Turkey. The hotels are stunning.
@@lorrainemoore699we looked at Side Star Elegance as well but preferred Raga Hotel before we booked. I would really recommend Raga, the hotel and staff were amazing, you might like the Raga Annex side which is on the beach more. Which did you prefer out of Arum Barut and Side Star Elegance? Really loved Side just so relaxing!
@@FoodieFarrahI wld say for what the difference in the price is definitely the Side Star Elegance. We got a fab deal for the Arum which was great and although it is stunning I personally dont think its worth double what the Side Star is.
If you stay at the Annex part of the hotel then yes the beach is directly outside past the poolside, however if you stay at the main hotel which is where we were, then you have to pass the shops. We initially booked the Annex but didn’t like the rooms so much, they were small and it gets quite noisy because the Entertainment area is right there. Let me know if you have any other questions
Yes sunbeds are free it’s first come first serve at the pool or beach area Food was very good at the hotel there’s quite a few different options, they have the main dinner restaurant which is buffet style or you can choose from the other burger, pasta, grill restaurants. One of the restaurants is open 24 hours (well it was when I went hope they haven’t changed that) We had an all inclusive package and was constantly eating 😂
Great review! My wife is a wheelchair user and I was wondering if you think this place is suitable for her? We are thinking of booking for a weel in May for our Son's 30th. There will be 7 of us. Thanks!
Hi! Thank you for the kind feedback. I would advise not to stay in the annex part of the hotel as that’s quite far out. Otherwise I believe they had ramps and lifts everywhere, the corridors were quite wide and the rooms were big enough for a wheelchair - although they may have separate rooms for wheelchair users. it’s not something I looked out for but gives me an idea for my next reviews to point it out. I’m sure you’ll really enjoy it, especially for your Sons 30th, I went for my 32rd and I really enjoyed it. Do let me know what you think after 🙌
@Farrah Mohamed will do! Thanks so much for the reply! Hoping to take her to the beach and off resort too, so fingers crossed the paths are not too cobbly and uneven making wheelchair travel painful. Jay will love it no doubt! Glad you had a great birthday there!
@@DaytonMusicUk you should watch my video of the beach and the walk along the beach area it’s really smooth, until I think you get to the town centre there are a few cobbly parts ua-cam.com/video/2fCWUdrvCNQ/v-deo.html
@Farrah Mohamed awesome. Thanks! We wasn't sure to go for side sea view or land view, still debating. The full sea view was a crazy hike in overall proce for 7 of us. Will check out this beach video. Really appreciate all your help! 🫶🏿
Thanks I’ve changed it to side resort hotels Turkey so you don’t get confused, it’s part of my series of resort hotels in Side with this video, I started with Raga Hotel review which is what you saw
We didn’t see any pool discos while we were there but if there was that would have been at the Annex Part of the hotel and we were quite far from that. There was a mix of ages but I’d say majority were older 40+
Loved this all inclusive hotel! Would you stay here?
Great review thinking of going next year. Do you remember if they serve drinks and beer on the beach and was it part of the all inclusive package??

Is there direct access to the prom at the beach from the hotel or is it only via the path passing the shops.
If you stay at the Annex part of the hotel then yes the beach is directly outside past the poolside, however if you stay at the main hotel which is where we were, then you have to pass the shops.

Sunbeds are free ? and how is the food at the Hotel :) ?
Yes sunbeds are free it’s first come first serve at the pool or beach area

@@FoodieFarrah Which is the best hotel in Side 😊, thankyou
Hi! Would like to know more about animation. Any pool discos at day time?
And what about average age of people staying there?
We didn’t see any pool discos while we were there but if there was that would have been at the Annex Part of the hotel and we were quite far from that. There was a mix of ages but I’d say majority were older 40+
