- Sunlight Garden Hotel

This charming apartment hotel is situated in the coastal city of Side, just a five minute stroll from the sea and within easy reach of the resort town's shops, cafes and restaurants. Side, which means ‘pomegranate,' is an ancient Mediterranean city dating back to the Hittite period, thus offering a rich history and a plethora of ancient ruins throughout the region, including remarkable castles and city walls, beautiful Roman temples and amphitheatres. The hotel's 85 apartments are air-conditioned and spacious with two bedrooms, sitting area, kitchen, and balcony overlooking the hotel gardens and pools. Guests may lounge by one of the two sparkling outdoor pools or relax in the Turkish baths, while younger guests can play in two children's pools, kid's club, or the playground. There is also a shuttle service to the nearby sandy beach. This hotel is the perfect place for families to enjoy a relaxing holiday in the warm Mediterranean sunshine.
Due to the surrounding area and the number of steps around the hotel, it may not be suitable for those with mobility difficulties.
Eda and Derya are absolutely the best! ❤️ They are both so friendly, kind and full of positive energy. They always make everyone feel welcome and bring so much fun to the holiday.
Our daughter absolutely loved spending time with them, and they made her holiday even more special. You can really see that they genuinely enjoy what they do and care about the guests and children.
Thank you, Eda and Derya, for all the smiles, fun and wonderful memories! You are amazing and definitely one of the best parts of our holiday. ❤️ We will miss you!
Me and my friend had an amazing stay at Sunlight Garden Hotel. The staff at the hotel were very welcoming and friendly especially the animation team and Maz in the bar. The food was okay; unfortunately the desserts were not the best, but this was easily forgotten thanks to a man by the name of Ali and his friend, who sold popcorn and cotton candy by the main bar in the evenings.
You definitely don’t want to miss out on their popcorn and cotton candy. They were both very friendly and always had a smile on their faces.
There were two different pool areas, both of which were very good. The one by the main bar had a slightly bigger and cooler pool, which was nice considering the weather, while the other pool was slightly warmer, which was nice at times. There was also music playing by the main pool, which created a nice atmosphere.
I would definitely recommend this hotel to anyone, whether you’re travelling alone, with friends, or as a family. And don’t forget to try the popcorn and cotton candy!
Fabulous family friendly hotel. The girls in the kids club and all of the staff make children feel special and welcome. Special mention to Derya and Eda from the kids club. Our children couldn’t wait to go back every day. The mini disco was also a hit. There is a fabulous entertainment team and people offering spa services/ tattoos but you don’t get pestered unlike other hotels we’ve been at. There were plenty of food options even for fussy eaters. Always pasta, nuggets, chips etc. only negative would be its not labelled well for allergens or ingredients but sure they would help if you explained that was an issue. The rooms are spacious and cleaned every day. There’s a shuttle to the beach. Would recommend as a great break.
I like the food, and the pools are Bigg and Nice Derya and Eda and they ar relley good whit kids
