Sunis Evren Beach Resort Hotel & Spa

We have just returned from an amazing stay at the Sunis Evren Beach Hotel & Spa in Everenseki, Side. The hotel is one of the only hotels which we have stayed at in Turkey that accurately represents the official 5 Star Rating. TUI rate it as 4T Plus, we believe they should rate it as 5T. There are lots of bazaars, restaurants and shops a couple of minutes walk away. Again, it is a couple of minutes walk up to the main road to catch the number 3 dolmus into Kumkoy, Side and Side Old Town. Most establishments, including the dolmus advertise and tell you the price in euros, but will also accept sterling and lira. We arrived in the early hours of the morning, check in was quick and we were offered drinks and food and the drinks were brought over straight away. We were asked for a ‘Hotel Voucher’, all we had was the E-Ticket emailed by TUI so they photocopied this. The rooms are good with all of the amenities you would expect, plus tea & coffee and a free minibar which is restocked daily with 2 x Effes, 2 x water and 1 x 1L Coca-Cola, Fanta and Sprite. We had booked a standard twin room, but when we arrived and were shown to our room (3002), it was in fact a family room which had a twin bedroom, bathroom and a double bedroom. A plus was there was plenty of storage and coat hangers which many hotels lack. The rooms are cleaned daily and towels replaced when needed. You are given cards to get pool towels which can be exchanged daily. The only downside is the TV had no working English TV channels, this wasn’t a problem, it’s just nice having it on in the background when you are getting ready.The English channels were just a black screen. We did mention this to reception, but was not rectified. There are 4 bars one of which is 24/7. There is a wide selection of spirits, cocktails and Efes. All of which are good quality and are not watered down like in some hotels. They have a late night nightclub which was not open during our stay. There is also plenty of food to choose from 24/7. The main buffet restaurant opens for breakfast, lunch, dinner and nighttime snacks and had a wide selection of food including freshly prepared. You also have a choice of 4 a la carte restaurants (Turkish, fish, Italian or Mexican) which you can book 1 during a 7 night stay. You also have the snack bar by the pool which does ice cream and waffles in the afternoon, a bar doing freshly prepared pide and a snack bar on the beach with a wide selection. Downstairs there is also a patisserie serving a selection of cakes, drinks and ice cream. I cannot really comment on the sunbed situation as we did not sit around the pool or on the beach, but towels were down on some quite early. The entertainment is good and varied and is usually either by the pool bar or in the amphitheater. The Retro Party night by the pool was good and the night it was raining, everything was moved inside into the lobby bar. The hotel has it’s own shop, clothes shop, shoes and bag shop, silver and opti

We have just returned from a superb family holiday in Türkiye. The Evren Beach Hotel was just what we all needed, we travelled with all ages and there was something for everyone. The beach was beautiful and it was lovely to swim in a clear sea. Plenty of beach activities, private sun bed area and beach bar and barbecue. The hotel was spotlessly clean, I’m fussy, but the staff here are so lovely and work so very hard, Thankyou. The bedrooms are great, we had a separate room off ours for our teens, great to all have our own space. There was a mini fridge in each room, well stocked. Easy to use safe, tea and coffee facilities, comfy beds, air conditioning. I apologise, I’m not great with names but here goes: Fehmi we loved your cocktails and great humour, Ahmet for keeping us well hydrated in the bar, the bartender in the upstairs bar was very helpful and friendly also, name beginning with O. Our superb waitresses, (round table by window) especially the petite young lady with her friendly beautiful smile and little wave each day, and the grill chef, M Hussain, Thankyou for looking after us and for making our holiday special, you made us feel very welcome. The pool bar and poolside restaurant was great, your staff work extremely hard, we really appreciated your hard work, the pizzas and waffles were superb! Sun beds are a bit hit and miss, it would seem you need to be up fairly early to get a bed of choice, but an early morning walk to see the turtles is a great start to the day. We also enjoyed our first ever foam party at the pool, great fun! The gym was well used, but we didn’t use the spa. My only complaint was the porter when we arrived who was too impatient for us to ensure my mother in law was sorted with her room, and then just left us to it, tutting at us! you made our first impression of the hotel a bad one and you missed out on a tip, thankfully everyone else we encountered went above and beyond and we would definitely recommend this hotel and will hopefully return again one day.

Spent 8 nights here in December 2023. Strongly recommended - friendly & helpful staff, clean, superb cuisine (buffet) and comfortable. Really enjoyed it here and was able to relax. Staff works really hard to make every effort.

Spent a week in February at this hotel and it had everything I needed and more, On arrival reception informed me they had a surprise for me, it was an upgraded room, safe, kettle, mini bar and everything else needed, House keeping was great, food was amazing, tasty and hot, The lounge bar was perfect and I was never short of a drink, the bar maids went above and beyond, The pool bar served endless cocktails , always with a smile, I used the indoor pool and sauna daily which was great and if u get chance book cath for a hamam, The hotel has private beach with bar which was perfect, For shopping it is perfectly located with miles of shops with so many bargains, Wood and drink was available 24/7 with no extra charge, All in all for what I payed it was well worth it, Well done to all the staff and no doubt I will be back for my smoked salmon and gin and tonics

This hotel was perfect in every way for us to have a much needed relaxing holiday. Drinks upon arrival, bit of confusion when checking in due to language barrier but easily resolved. Had 2 bed family room, very spacious, LOADS of wardrobe space, free safe, minibar in both rooms, fab air conditioning, only downside was balcony was small but it was too humid to sit out. Hotel is spotlessly clean throughout, the cleaning staff never stop and always happy and smiley. Also returning to our room after a day out it always smelt so clean and fresh, and this was on a daily basis. Food was fantastic, always hot and plentiful though we timed it right every evening, never ate the same thing twice as so much choice. Pool scene isn't for us so we went to beach every day and used beach bar for drinks and lunch, usually just eating the lovely fresh watermelon that was always out. Beach and sea is safe, also no need for beach shoes and can walk out relatively far before out of depth, lifeguards on beach too. We never came across any other English within the hotel as predominantly Eastern European, Turkish and Russian and if I'm honest, that gave the hotel a completely different ambience, much more relaxed, and were made to feel so very welcome. Every member of staff would interact with you, the waiting staff and bar staff knowing your drinks after day 2, no matter how little English was spoken, we would speak in the little Turkish we knew which is always welcomed. Location of hotel is great, we would do a walk each morning, turning right from hotel walking along paved area, looking at the numerous turtles on Turtle Bridge then walking up past vast hotels and from beach we would turn left and walk along to the inlet. Shopping centres not far either all trying to entice you in. Already looking to book next year.

First time visiting Turkey holiday package purchased through Tui Uk, we are well travelled and very easy holiday makers. What we did not expect was to stay in a hotel that caters 95% German customer… On late arrival the receptionist guy asked 3 times for a tip for giving rooms together. The good Clean Lovely rooms Lovely food and lots of choice Great location Side a must Staff work tirelessly Bbq on beach fab Nice inside bar area Great value for money Fun to try and converse in English Negatives No representation from Tui only online Some staff quite hostile particularly in the main restaurant Entertainment centre around German guest Kids club only ever saw kids on an iPad Not so quiet at night Need to get up before 6am to get a bed!!! Tips Bring Euros Ask for room away from pool and high floors Learn some basic German or Turkish to order drinks! Love Turkey will return but to more diverse hotel. Tui need to be more honest about this one.
