Hillside Beach Club

We spent a week here with 17 and 19 year old sons. It was absolutely superb.This was the first holiday of the type we have done. We arrived very late and were starving and they served a burger at the bar area. ( they do this late at night and they also do afternoon snacks and sometimes prosecco on the beach early evening. There is also a Happy Hour) Everyone here was so friendly, many staff having worked there for years and you get to know them when you are there. The food was amazing, so much choice and freshly cooked. Lovely wines and drinks. Airy space and incredible staff. We just loved it. We had two rooms up high with views and we used the stairs and the lift car. The rooms are so simple, yet so lovely. Excellent house keeping, walk in wardrobe, and air con. Really comfortable bed! Small fridge and balcony with sofa. Our favourite beach was Serenity beach which you could get to via a short , pretty nature walk or charming water taxi. Here there is a small bar serving coffee and cocktails and you can also have a light lunch here. The other beach is Silent beach which was great for yoga each morning. These beaches are adult only. However, the main beach never felt too crowded or noisy. We loved it in the early evening and we swam out to the platform to watch the sunset and jump off of course! The vibe in the evening was great and entertainment in a show area if you wanted to go. There are also club nights at Pasha, cinema on the beach etc. One suggestion would be an area where older teens could hang out and meet each other. Maybe in the little used piano bar. A couple of pool tables here would be great. We took a half day boat trip by Hillside staff with light refreshments and swims in the bays. It was not crowded and really lovely thing to do. One evening we went into Fethiye and had dinner at Pasa kebab which is on a small square and highly recommend - authentic and friendly. There are loads of things to do and activities / classes for all ages. I managed to have tennis lessons each day which were fun and professional. We would all go back in a heartbeat.

Our friends have been raving about Hillside so we were very curious about discovering it. The place at first takes a day or two to grow on you but once you discover the amenities and all that you can do around the resort, you start wishing this holiday never ends. Their house keeping team are very kind and welcoming. Special mention to Çiğdem. Their restaurant are really good. Enjoyed the Italian restaurant more than Pasha and the staff at the main restaurant are so nice from the manager Zafer Bey, Ilyâs, Hasan and Hasan, Cansel, Ozlem and Soner to name a few. The food is also very good. Their entertainment team is so talented and some of the shows blew us away. Obed, Karl, Zoe, Elena, Sade, Giusu and the Turkish gentleman that presents everyone at the end of the show is buzzing with good energy. They’re all and also the ones we haven’t met really nice and they are the ones that bring the resort to life. I would recommend you try the nature spa by the silent beach. Amazing experience and one of the best massages we have had. A small downside is that some guests are overly motivated and book the best seats as early as 6 am and 7 am so was a bit of a nuisance at first then we couldn’t be bothered and we went to the beach whenever we felt like it and we still managed to find decent seats. As a couple you can always enjoy a stroll to serenity beach where you can have a lovely quiet time surrounded by nature. One advice is to update some of the rooms as they could lift up the experience even more! Thank you Hillside Team for a lovely time

Stayed at Hillside Beach Club for a week in October on the recommendation for a close friend who has visited numerous times. Setting is stunning , all the staff without exception were extremely helpful, polite and nothing was too much trouble. Food was amazing with an huge choice. Enjoyed Pasha and would recommend going there, unfortunately couldn’t book the Italian as every time we tried it was fully booked lunch time and dinner but did hear reports that food was delicious. Everywhere was spotless, poolside, beach, all amenities couldn’t be faulted. Loved Serenity Beach which was adults only. Stayed in room 573 which had a fantastic view of the bay only downside was the number of steps, however could have overcome this by using lift near Pasha. We don’t normally return to a resort but this was so, so nice would certain,y consider it.

I cannot say enough great things about this place! My husband and i along with our 3 children stayed here for 10 nights and what a fantastic time we had. Food is amazing, so much choice and each delicious. Hotel Team were friendly and nothing was too much. Lots and lots of activities to do if you want a change of scenery OR you can relax in peach and quiet on one of their serene beaches. Entertainment every night, always something to do! Cant wait to go back next year!

This was our first time at Hillside and I must say it exceeded our expectations - we had such a lovely time. It is set in a beautiful cove, surrounded by a pine forest and the whole area had a lovely vibe about it. The staff at the resort are fab - they go out of their way to make your holiday enjoyable. The shows and entertainment were amazing, thanks to Obed and the team - everything is done so professionally. The parties were so fun and such a good atmosphere! There are so many activities to take part in if you want - we hardly saw our 18 year old who is sporty, there is always something to do if that's what you want. The food was really good, although my only gripe was that there wasn't a lot of hot options for vegetarians, and the salads were the same every day for lunch and dinner. My husband enjoyed the fish counter and the fact it was cooked fresh and delivered to our table. We had great service at dinner thanks to Merkan & Mercan. The bedrooms are basic but in a nice way and have everything you would need, shampoos, body scrubs, mosquito repellent, hair bands and clips, robes etc We had a beautiful view and the housekeeping staff also did a fantastic job. You can book boat trips from the resort and we did the sunset cruise which was lovely. Everyone we met had been to the resort multiple times and I can see why - we would love to return one day.

Hillside continues to excel in making guests feel welcomed and catered for. There have been changes following on from covid. Some items of food have to be ordered and then brought to the table whilst desserts are served over the counter. All drinks are brought to the tables even at breakfast. Thankfully there is no loss of quality. Toasters have been modernised and are much more reliable. Water ( I presume from the tap) is served chilled in carafes in the restaurant in an effort to avoid single use plastic. Likewise bottled water is limited to glass and has to be purchased but there are several chilled water dispensers positioned around the resort especially near sports areas. Bring your own small insulated flask for convenience (or reuse a smaller plastic bottle). Shows feature strongly in the evening entertainment and always of a high quality.

Wow It is difficult to know where to begin with this review. Myself, my husband and our daughter came to Hillside Beach Club expecting to have good food, to relax in the sun and hopefully have some fun. The reality far exceeded our expectations in every way. Firstly, the food - the quality and variety of options are outstanding. The restaurants are all first class and there are plenty of bars dotted around the resort. The level of service is excellent, the staff are so attentive and friendly from housekeeping, catering, front of house, bar/restaurant staff. The attention to detail and cleanliness is beyond anything we have ever experienced in our many travels over the years. So, now for the entertainment … just WOW! We were blown away at the quality of the entertainment and, in particular, the staff who deliver it. We were here for 9 nights and every day was different. On arrival you can download the Hillside App which tells you everything that is happening during the day and you can take part in almost anything - yoga, spinning, tennis, dance classes, pool/sea aerobics, bingo, darts, volleyball, football, water polo, the list is endless. The evening entertainment is first class - jazz nights, musical shows, club nights, live music, beach parties. Last but by far the most important part of this review is the entertainment team. We have never experienced a team of staff quite like those at Hillside. They are so inclusive, friendly and so much fun. A long list but they all need a big thank you for making our stay so very special - Giuliano, Aldru, Carlito , Nathalie, Charlee, Jamie, Sade, Lorena, Letchi, Gaia, Migoos, Baran, Analisa, Hamza and kosta. I really hope I haven’t missed anyone. Their level of professionalism is top class and they should be applauded for the energy and effort they put into everything they do to entertain, encourage and include all the residents. The warm, lovely and friendly personalities will get even the quietest of guests involved. Saying that, the resort also has an array of quiet areas - serenity and silent beach are beautiful and allow guests to enjoy a peaceful stay if that is their preference. We will definitely be back! Thank you so much to everyone who made our stay a memorable one - they know who they are!!!

So if you want paradise, you won't go far wrong with Hillside. The main restaurant has an abundance of choice but our favourite by far was Pasha on the Bay both for late breakfast and dinner. Then the Beach Bar with DJ at 5.30 coinciding with happy hour. Beachside eating in the evening when Beach Bar becomes Italian. If you want peace and quiet, recommend either Silent Beach or Serenity Beach. The boat rude across the bay to reach it is a nice way to go there. The latter serves a delicious lunchtime BBQ offering. Silent Beach also has a spa well worth a booking. Turkish bath highly recommended too. Deluxe room with balcony a must. Ideally near the lift if you want to avoid stairs. Bed amazingly comfortable. Evening entertainment too of a variety. And, if you like sports, plenty of daytime choices. If you're a music fan, Pasha Club night on Saturday is a must . You really won't want to leave but you will want to come back!

A great resort set in a beautiful cove with exquisite swimming opportunities. Beaches range from a family beach to Serenity Beach to Silent Beach. Lots of options wether you want fun in the sun or a quiet retreat. Excellent water sports and evening entertainment with live shows, beach parties etc. Kids club looks well run with lots of activities ( we didn’t make use of this) Very good dining options. Main restaurant offers around the Ned quinine whic is excellent. Chefs sat down at end of service to eat off buffet so you know the food is top notch! Have to add that our waiter, Kadir was first class. Such attention to detail and impeccable service. Rooms are clean but need an upgrade!

We're a family of 4 with kids aged 10&8 and stayed here for 10 nights in August. We've been meaning to come for years but never booked in time before it got sold out, and I'm so delighted we got to go this summer! Firstly the pros -- the setting is absolutely sensational. It is just heavenly and the sea is the nicest i've ever swum in (with a gorgeous swimming lane crossing the bay). Then there are the activities..... too many to mention from daily pool games, to pickleball, to bingo, to waterpolo , darts, QR code classes - there's ridiculous amounts. Then there are the water sports and trips. These are an additional cost but, in my opinion, worth it. We firstly did the 12 islands tour which is on a fabulous, large yacht and includes a delicious bbq lunch. It's a must do. You can go on a catamaran for an hour (thankfully with someone else taking charge of the wind) and learn to water ski as my boys did. This is perfect the most expensive activity however Mustafa who taught the boys was brilliant and adults get to enjoy being in the very luxurious boats as develop the skills. Next, there are the staff. EVERYONE was delightful, professional and incredibly friendly. A particular shout out is needed for the entertainment team who not only lead fabulous activities during the day, but then perform in the shows which take place at night. We weren't aware of these performances before we went, but some of them are genuinely incredible (dont' miss Beyonce night!). A particular thank you to Gui, Charley and Chiquito :) As you might know , the main restaurant is the hub of the hotel when it comes to dining. There is pacha (but for 12+ which ruled us out) and the beautiful Italian wich was incredible but you can only dine there once during your stay. The food is truly exclelent - fresh and fabulous - but I do think the resort could do with a bit more variety including adding a couple of a la carte options if doable. Even though the main restaurants have ample variety and different themed night s(e.g. the turkish night was amazing) ultimately a buffet dinner experience is often not as relaxed or as long as a dinner out. However Fethiye is really close (about 180 turkish lira each way) so we popped out there a couple of times to vary things up. Not many cons to share, and hillside really does still get five stars despite this but if you're the type of family who needs to get kids to bed at a reasonable hour make sure you request a room in the 400s bloc. This is where we were moved to after were staying in the 700 bloc which rules out any chance of sleep before midnight if Pacha is having a party. it was VERY loud. They do turn off the music at midnight on the dot, but this wasn't great for us so we were moved and the new position was perfect. Additionally, if you've stayed at somewhere like the Sani or Ikos , be advised that the Hillside rooms are more rustic than luxurious. They're great - and with fantastic amenities, but not as fancy as some resorts of that ilk. The rhythm of Hillside did take a little getting used to. It was almost overwhelming to begin with but I cannot stress this enough - it is an AMAZING and extraordinarily special place. We'll be returning.
