Hillside Beach Club

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Hillside Beach Club is honestly one of the most magical places you could ever go with your family. They’ve thought of absolutely everything – from toddlers to teenagers – creating the most inclusive and welcoming atmosphere. There’s always something to do every moment of the day, so no one ever feels left out. The food alone could have an entire review by itself. It feels never-ending, with world-class quality and a huge variety of dishes. You’ll find everything from international cuisine to incredible local Turkish specialties, many cooked in traditional ways. Every meal feels like an experience. It’s easy to understand why Hillside has one of the highest return rates of any resort in the world (I even heard Harvard studied it to understand how they do it!). To be honest, calling it a “resort” feels like an understatement – it’s closer to paradise.

Top quality resort.| |The setting is incredible: a private bay with clear sea and in August an amazing temperature. It felt tropical!||The secluded private location felt special and the views from all parts of the resort were incredible.||Food was top class, good variety at the buffet and huge quantities. The Mediterranean restaurant was absolutely delicious.||Great kids club, the Artside workshop is a brilliant addition for kids (small additional cost) and there are so many daily activities.||Some nice extra touches like mid afternoon snacks and then hot dogs pre dinner! It is hard not to over-eat here!||A really brilliant place and a we are excited to return.||The one negative is that water is only complementary in the rooms on the day of arrival. Not in keeping with a high end resort.

This May half term marked our ninth visit to Hillside Beach Club – and we’re glad we returned. After our last stay a few years ago, we debated trying somewhere new, but the improvements made since then have reaffirmed our love for this resort.|Notable Improvements||• Room Refurbishment: The previously tired and rustic interiors have been updated with a look of simple sophistication. Gone are the bead curtains at the bathroom doorway – replaced by elegant wooden doors that are both stylish and practical.||• Food Quality: The culinary offering has noticeably improved. A particular highlight was the fresh prawns, a welcome upgrade from the mushy ones we encountered in earlier years. Every meal felt fresher and better curated. The two served restaurants Pasha and Beach bar were notably improved. |• Sunbed Availability: The new rule that removes towels after 2 hours of inactivity is a game changer. It means more sunbeds are available throughout the day – a small change with a big impact.||• Yoga & Pilates Timing: Moving these classes from the early morning to mid-morning was a smart move, especially for UK guests who’d rather not rise at dawn on holiday. This simple scheduling change made it easier to enjoy wellness activities without sacrificing rest.||Things to Keep in Mind||• Pricing: Hillside remains on the expensive side, especially for drinks. Even with our 30% discount, beverages felt overpriced.||• Wish List: I’d love to see reformer Pilates classes added in the future. It would elevate the wellness offering and provide more variety for fitness-minded guests.||• The House Wine has taken a dive and has been replaced to a restrictive low quality brand which is really isn’t good, so you will need to add wine at mealtimes to the costs also. ||Final Thoughts||Despite the cost, the stunning scenery, thoughtful upgrades, and overall atmosphere make Hillside Beach Club a place we’ll continue to return to. It’s reassuring to see a resort not resting on its reputation but striving to improve

Our experience at Hillside Beach Club was simply exceptional. From the moment we arrived, the staff impressed us with their warmth, professionalism, and attention to detail — truly going above and beyond to make us feel welcome. The food was another highlight — delicious, fresh, and varied, with something to satisfy every palate. Whether it was breakfast or dinner, every meal felt like a special occasion. Our room was spotless, well-maintained, and very comfortable, with thoughtful touches that made our stay even more enjoyable. Waking up to the serene views and the sound of the sea was pure bliss. And the beach… absolutely breathtaking. Crystal-clear water, soft sand, and plenty of space to relax. It felt like our own private slice of paradise. This is more than just a resort — it's a complete escape. We left feeling refreshed, pampered, and already dreaming about our next visit. Highly recommended. Thanks for the nonstop working staff!

1. Awful room configuration. Unable to put 5 year old in kids bedroom, as couldn't hear him at night unless bedroom doors remained open, which would mean no air con. So husband had to sleep in kid's bedroom |2 No air con in bathroom|3 Very limited free coffee and water in room. Rest had to be paid for. Had to pay for milk. Unacceptable in 5 star resort.|4 Loud music almost every night until midnight. Impossible to sleep before then. Unacceptable in a family resort|5 Reserving sun beds from 7am. None left by 9.30. I thought this was a scourge of mass market hotels, not one that positions itself at the higher end|6 Absolute scrum in the buffet, with no help offered by staff to try and find a table. |7 Without doubt hotel staff favoured the Turkish guests ||All in all a very disappointing experience and will not be returning

Had a fantastic stay here and would highly recommend for either families or couples. The choice and quality of the food were excellent. The adult/silent beaches were lovely. The nightly entertainment for both adults and children were a real plus. An excellent kids club. Amazing location with lovely views. My only complaints are that the rooms could benefit from being modernised, and accessing the bathroom from outside was not ideal.

SO GOOD YOU WILL REBOOK AS SOON AS YOU LEAVE. The best hotel I have been too for friends & family. I have been 3 times and have never felt bored or left the hotel as there is so much to do. It is the perfect hotel for teenagers, every year my teenager makes friends with other teenagers in the hotel and they spend everyday together allowing my husband and I to relax! The buffet is the BEST I have ever been to, so much choice and great quality. The ocean was clean, clear and turquoise and had a beautiful view. There are lots of water sports to do and many activities throughout the day (darts, bingo, football, water aerobics, painting pottery, theatre shows, beach volleyball) so it’s the perfect hotel if you want to have fun! I love how the hotel rooms are situated along the mountains, it’s very beautiful. Service is great and there are charging areas for phones all around the hotel! There is a platform in the ocean which you can swim to and dive off or tan on which is where I spent a lot of my days in the hotel. However, the rooms are average and not great for the price. Also, there are two restaurants for dinner, one at pasha and one on the beach and both have the same menu which is quite limited and mostly seafood. You will also end up paying a lot more than expected because a lot of the food in the hotel is not included and neither are water sports or spa treatments. Also, the beach is pebbles not sand which many people don’t like but I actually prefer it. If you are going in may in the school half term, at the end of the week the reception is very busy with long queues as everyone is leaving at the same time. The hotel is not very accessible as a lot of the rooms have lots of steps to get to them. Overall, it’s always an unforgettable experience at hillside and I truly think no other hotel comes close in terms of activities and fun!

This hotel has wonderful location, maybe the best beach in Fethye surroundings; around nature and blue sea, one of the best I have ever seen ✌️F&B is nice in general, Full Board plus, that means, that ordering coffee not dinner time is for extra charge, but during dinner is included. The rooms are the weakest part of this resort; if you want luxury room, don't go here, but if you want luxury nature and sea, go and enjoy.

Mukemmel bir tatil deneyimi, denizi guzel, servisi guzel ve en onemlisi atmosferi canli. Olmazsa olmaz ve en alisilmis yaz tatili!

Hillside Beach Club is a great resortfor families with kids. If you want a beach vacation in a place surrounded by truly beautiful, serene nature, Hillside Beach Club is the place. We really enjoyed the beaches. The cuisine was also great. One thing to keep in mind: the resort is literally in a hill side. Although there are lifts, be prepared to walk up and down stairs. You will have the best service personal in this hotel.

Best hotel, best beach , best employees ever! But careful: best food means +3kg in one week
