Asteria Bloom Side

I had an incredible stay at the hotel, and one of the highlights was definitely the food! The variety was impressive, offering something for every taste. The buffet had a wide selection of dishes, including international cuisines like Italian, Asian, and Mediterranean, along with local Turkish specialties. Every meal felt like a new experience, with different options every day. The breakfast spread was fantastic, with fresh fruits, pastries, eggs made to order, and a variety of cheeses and cold cuts. The desserts were also a treat, with a mix of traditional Turkish sweets and international favorites. On top of that, the à la carte restaurants provided a more intimate dining experience, perfect for a special night out. The drinks at the bar were also top-notch, with delicious cocktails and a good selection of wines. The staff were incredibly friendly and always made sure we felt welcome. The room was spacious, clean, and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. One of the best parts of the hotel was the parties! They were so much fun, with lively music, great decorations, and a fantastic atmosphere. Every night had a different theme. However, I did notice two small things: the Wi-Fi was sometimes slow, which made it a bit difficult to stay connected, and the gym could use more equipment. But overall, the stay was fantastic, and I’d highly recommend this hotel for anyone looking for great time and a lively atmosphere.

We were 2 couples in our 70’s looking for good weather and relaxation. We found the sun but very little relaxation due to the incredibly loud techno music played every single night until 2am. We dreaded going to bed as the bass reverberated inside our rooms preventing us getting a restful night . Consequently we were sleep deprived for 7 nights. We were not warned that this hotel does not cater to English speaking people with very few staff able to understand us even though the majority of them were very pleasant. The food also was not all inclusive and as I am lactose intolerant I had a very limited choice as I could not make myself understood. The property needs some serious updating and cannot possible be rated 5 star as it claims. If you want a sun bed on the beach they have to be booked with guest relations and cost 10 euros per day. The beach cafe is a pleasant place to sit and eat lunch but again the food was of poor quality. The terrace for pre dinner drinks was the most pleasant place to sit in the hotel . The a la Carter restaurant was a joke and the food was inedible.. We will not return to a Selectum. Over all not a good experience as we did not believe this hotel catered to English people. The hotel is miles from Side (which is gorgeous) the only thing within walking distance is a bazaar which made us feel very isolated as the hotel surroundings are not attractive. I think it is falsely advertised as it calls itself Selectum for two Side when in fact it is 20 minutes away.
