Brilliant experience all round at Barut Hemera. The hotel itself is lovely but what made it extra special for us were a) The à la cartes. We tried Olive and Sofra, both were great and in a beautiful setting. You can also go to the Olive for lunch which is nice if you want to mix things up a bit in the week; b) The staff. They were so great with my little girl, this really put us at ease being new parents on our first family holiday; c) The Bary Star baby concept. With all the items they give you during your stay, like a steriliser, baby bath, baby shampoo etc it meant we didn’t have to pack the kitchen sink! The hotel really caters to all ages, families, couples etc I would highly recommend Barut Hemera to anyone visiting Side!
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ An Exceptional Family Holiday – The Best All-Inclusive We've Experienced! We are still staying at Barut Hemera until Tuesday, and I honestly couldn't wait to leave a review because this hotel has exceeded every expectation. From the moment we arrived, every single member of staff has gone above and beyond to make us feel welcome. The level of customer service here is outstanding. Nothing is ever too much trouble, and every question we've had has been answered with patience, professionalism and a genuine smile. The attention to detail is second to none. One thing that has really stood out is how seriously the hotel has taken my nut allergy. Every restaurant and member of staff has been incredibly knowledgeable, reassuring and careful, allowing me to relax and enjoy every meal without worrying. That level of care means so much. The food has been absolutely incredible throughout the resort, but a special mention has to go to the Beach Buffet. The quality, freshness and variety are exceptional, and being able to enjoy such fantastic food just steps from the sea has been one of the highlights of our holiday. There are a few members of staff who truly deserve special recognition: Iren, who works as a waitress at the pool bar, has been absolutely amazing. She is always smiling, remembers everyone's orders, works incredibly hard and provides service with such warmth and kindness. She's a real credit to the hotel. Another huge thank you goes to Fatoush at Barry's Kids Club. My son is completely obsessed with her and asks to see her every day! It's so obvious that she genuinely loves her job and cares about every child she meets. She has made such a positive impact on our holiday, and seeing how excited our son is to spend time at the kids' club has been wonderful. The facilities are fantastic. Our room (1415) has been huge, spotless and incredibly comfortable, giving us plenty of space to relax after a busy day. The swimming pools are excellent, and the water slides are brilliant fun for both children and adults. It's rare to find slides that genuinely appeal to all ages, but these certainly do. The entertainment team also deserve recognition. The gentleman who runs the archery and air rifle sessions is absolutely brilliant—he makes every activity fun, engaging and enjoyable for everyone. Likewise, the lady who organises the darts creates a fantastic atmosphere and encourages everyone to join in, regardless of ability. We've also really appreciated all the recommendations from the staff about places to visit around Side. We've taken several of their suggestions, explored the local sights, and every recommendation has been fantastic. It's the people that make this hotel truly special. Every member of staff works tirelessly to ensure guests have the best possible holiday, and their kindness, professionalism and genuine care shine through every single day. We still have a few days left of our holiday, and we're already talking about coming back. Thank you to everyone at Barut Hemera for making this one of the best family holidays we've ever had. We cannot recommend this hotel highly enough! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ An awesome experience! I stayed at Barut Hemera from 27th June until 3rd July on a solo occupancy as my family was also staying at the hotel, but for a longer period. From the moment I arrived, which was 02:30 in the morning, every single member of staff has gone above and beyond to make me feel welcome. The level of customer service is outstanding. Nothing was ever too much trouble, and every question I’ve had has been answered with patience, professionalism and a genuine smile. The attention to detail is second to none. One thing that has really stood out is how seriously the hotel has taken allergies. Everything is labelled, the guest relations WhatsApp service allowed me to order gluten free and lactose free food options.
Iren, who works as a waitress at the pool bar, has been absolutely amazing. She is always smiling, remembers everyone's orders, works incredibly hard and provides service with such warmth and kindness. She's a real credit to the hotel.
The facilities are fantastic. My room (2401) was spotless and incredibly comfortable, Everything was supplied including a beach bag and a water bottle so you only needed your own deodorant and perfume! The swimming pools were excellent, and the water slides are brilliant fun for both children and adults.
The QR code to order drinks to your beds is also a great touch and all products were premium.
It's the staff that make this hotel truly special. Every member of staff works tirelessly to ensure guests have the best possible holiday, and their kindness, professionalism and genuine care shine through every single day.
I wanted to purchase a beach bag to take home and the staff at reception gifted it to me when I checked out ( I also paid for late check out which for €15 per hour was reasonable) 🫶🏾.
Barut Hemera, thank you for making this experience a pleasant one and I would definitely visit again! I cannot recommend this hotel highly enough! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Omg, this hotel is an absolute credit to everyone associated with it. From the welcome to the farewell the staff were superb. The attention to detail within the hotel and exquisite gardens and landscaping. Pools, bars, restaurants, food and the entertainment all first class. We could speak or recommend highly enough. We just enjoyed our 25th wedding anniversary there and the staff helped make it a very special occasion. Lots of lovely memories. We would definitely return.
This was my second time at Hemera and it won't be my last! An amazing hotel with the most wonderful staff. I cannot think of one negative thing it is absolutely perfect. The high standards of cleanliness is evident throughout the hotel , rooms , gardens , pools and restaurants. I relaxed from the moment I arrived and started my holiday with a lovely massage in the spa. I'm already starting to look at dates for my next holiday back there. Thankyou to all the staff at the Hemera you work so hard to make everything perfect for guests. I will see you all again soon x
