Barut Sunwing Side Beach

We are currently staying at Barut GOIA in Side and overall the hotel is nice, but we had a very disappointing experience regarding pricing transparency. My family booked different packages: - Some of us booked all inclusive from home through the agency to a reasonable price - Others booked only breakfast and asked to upgrade to all inclusive upon arrival We would not recommend upgrading to all inclusive upon arrival, as the price is extremely high. At check in, we were offered all inclusive for approximately €776 for a 7 day stay. The next day, the price suddenly increased to €1,251, even though part of the day had already passed. After speaking with the manager two days after arrival, the “special price” offered was €829 for only 5 days, which still feels unreasonable. What is most frustrating is that on the hotels own website, the same stay can be booked at a significantly lower price. For example, a 5 day stay from today til departure with breakfast for two people costs around €508, and upgrading to all inclusive online is approximately €270 extra. This creates a feeling of unfair treatment and lack of transparency. We understand that prices can vary, but such large differences, especially within hours, do not seem reasonable. It’s a shame, because otherwise the hotel is good, but this experience has negatively affected our overall impression.

Wow wow wow. The staff, facilities, service and food is so good at this hotel. It felt like home right away. Get a room with swim-up pool, it was the highlight of the trip. A special thanks to Mr M Özcan at dinner for filling up our wine glasses and making us laugh.

Brilliant holiday we stayed for 7 nights myself and my two sons 24 and 14 my youngest son is very fussy when it comes to food but he always found something to eat and wasn't hungry once which considering I've been to a number of all inclusive hotels you often find your eating out due to food not been up to standards this never happened so massive shout out to all chef's and waiting staff your all doing amazing. Entertainment was just starting been early season it was ok more for under 10 kids over 10 might struggle but was still better then other experiences been often sat by myself due to my son's playing pool or table tennis...the Entertainment staff still came over and chaatted very friendly but not over friendly bar staff again very friendly one other thing you get is a good morning from the staff which little things such as that do make a difference...overall 5 stars from me and we will be back in September this time for 14 nights can't wait....see you soon

We absolutely loved this hotel and Side town is beautiful. The food and drinks were the best we have had at an all inclusive resort. The entertainment team are amazing, especially Yami, Anel and Yasmine ❤️ we had bad weather to start and the team made our stay so much fun. Definitely recommend Aqua Gym on a morning and plenty of dancing. The bar staff were great too, very personal service even though there were so many other guests. I tried the spa facilities and had a massage, it was very good. We had Hookah in the Sky bar watching the sunset, beautiful. They made us feel at home. This was our first time in Turkey and we will definitely return to Barut Goia.

We had such an amazing stay at Barut GOIA, from the moment we arrived it honestly felt like being welcomed into one big family ❤️ The entertainment team were absolutely fantastic. They were full of energy every single day and really made the holiday special. They always made an effort to include everyone, whether you wanted to join in or just relax and enjoy the atmosphere. There was always something going on, from fun pool activities to volleyball and football, so you are never bored. A big thank you to Vlad as well, who really stood out and made such a great connection with guests. The food was incredible and definitely one of the highlights of our stay. There was so much variety, with new dishes every day and night, which kept things exciting. One evening even had an Asian theme, which was a lovely change and done really well. The à la carte restaurants were also amazing, such great quality and presentation and definitely worth trying during your stay. The bar staff were just as impressive, always friendly, smiling and happy to help. A very special mention has to go to the waffle lady, she was an absolute gem. So kind, so warm and always calling the kids baby, which was such a sweet and personal touch. It is little things like that which really make a holiday memorable. The cleanliness of the hotel was also outstanding. Everywhere you looked was spotless, from the rooms to the pool areas and restaurants. You could tell the staff really take pride in keeping everything to such a high standard. Overall we had the most wonderful time and made so many great memories. It is the kind of place that makes you want to come back again and again. We would 100 percent recommend it to anyone looking for a fun, relaxing and friendly holiday and we will definitely be returning
