Side Star Beach’s All Inclusive Plus concept keeps dining varied and easy. The main buffet restaurant lays on breakfast, lunch, dinner and snacks with show-cooking stations and plenty of choice for younger palates. In the evenings, you can rotate between three à la carte venues on set nights – a rooftop Italian trattoria, an atmospheric Ottoman restaurant serving Turkish favourites, and a seafront fish restaurant right by the beach.

Smart-casual dress codes are in place in many venues (no beachwear; long trousers for gentlemen at dinner). Reservations for à la carte restaurants are required and are usually limited to one visit per restaurant per week, subject to availability.

Drinks are well covered with a lobby bar, pool bar, late-night Green Bar and a dedicated beach bar, serving a range of local wine, beer, spirits, cocktails, hot drinks and soft drinks for at least 12 hours a day as part of the All Inclusive Plus offering.
What All Inclusive typically includes.

With a beachfront address and multiple pools, water babies are spoilt for choice here. Outside, you’ll find two main freshwater pools surrounded by sunbeds and parasols, plus a separate children’s pool that keeps little ones close by.

When you’re ready for saltwater, step through the gardens to the hotel’s private sandy beach, where comfortable loungers and shade are laid out overlooking the Mediterranean.

Inside, there’s also a heated indoor pool (typically open in the cooler months and heated between November and March, subject to occupancy), ideal for early- or late-season stays.
