Tripplo's verdict, based on guest reviews
Tripplo’s analysis · Updated 27 September 2026 · How we review hotels
Calimera Side Resort is highly recommended for families prioritising outdoor activity and functional rooms. Rated well by guests, it features four distinct outdoor swimming pools and landscaped gardens. Note, however, that travellers must navigate the distance from Side’s historical old town, and high occupancy is common during peak season.
Guests score it 8.5 out of 10 — the average across the 7 hotels we list in Side is 9.0.
What Guests Loved
- The resort maintains a private stretch of shoreline, providing guests with dedicated loungers and parasols. A regular shuttle service connects the main building to the beach, ensuring convenient access for those traveling with children or beach equipment.
- With four separate pools distributed across the grounds, the property offers various atmospheres ranging from active areas to quieter zones. This variety allows guests to find a swimming environment that suits their specific preference for the day.
Things to Consider
- During the height of summer, common areas such as the poolside terraces and dining rooms can experience significant traffic. Guests seeking a quieter atmosphere may prefer visiting the beach or dining during off-peak hours to avoid the crowds.
- The property is located a short distance from the ancient ruins and central harbor of Side. While the immediate area is geared toward resort life, a taxi or local bus is necessary for those wishing to explore the city's archaeological sites.

Rooms & which one to pick
Our tip: Couples should book the Double Room with Pool View for the same twin-bed setup as the Standard Double Room but with a pool outlook. Families of four needing extra sleeping space should choose either the Family Room with Garden View or Family Room with Pool View, both offering 2 twin beds and 2 sofa beds, depending on which outlook you prefer; the plain Family Room offers the same layout if neither view is essential.

Reviews from Google“Wonderful family getaway – highly recommended! We stayed with our family and absolutely loved this hotel. The grounds are cozy, well-kept, and designed with taste and care. Everything you need for a comfortable stay is there. Three pools + one with slides. Plenty of sunbeds. Large restaurant with indoor and outdoor seating. Great variety of food, and the grilled dishes were incredibly tasty. We had a clean, well-designed apartment-style room with everything we needed. Special thanks for the excellent daily housekeeping! The staff – simply outstanding. The beach is stunning – wide and sandy. A shuttle runs from the hotel (walking is long and uncomfortable). There's a beach restaurant: free water, tasty food for an extra charge. The old town, shops, and restaurants are all within walking distance. Thank you to the management and staff for the warm atmosphere. We had a fantastic time and would love to come back!”
“The rooms are clean, spacious, and very comfortable. The food selection is rich, and everything is delicious. There are animation shows, live concerts, and various games organized throughout the day. The hotel is also very close to the ancient city of Side, which is a great advantage. I especially loved the pools and the beautiful landscaping. special thanks to Fatime and Aybolek Hanım, as well as all the staff, for their kindness and excellent hospitality.”
“Very good hotel, the rooms are nice and the cleaners are doing an amazing job, the food and the desserts is 10/10 too, the workers are so humble and always treats people good, i love cats and seeing them in the hotel made me very happy, the barber deserves applause for the braids he did for me. Nice pools/waterslides/Bar and the shows they did in the evening. Good location too because it's close to the sea and exploring the old town in side was special. I've been in this hotel two times and now i'm home and i already miss it, i will come back again soon Side. Much love.”
“Very nice clean and comfortable hotel. Staff are very friendly and helpful. The cleaners are very good and the hotel is in an good location, not too far of a walk to side shops and restaurants. We had a good time and would recommend this hotel.”
