Our second visit to Hillside was just as amazing as the first. There is a unique charm to this place that we haven't found anywhere else we've visited.
If you're looking for luxury, this isn't the place for you. We've stayed at plenty of high-end 5-star hotels like One&Only, Jumeirah, and Ritz-Carlton, but Hillside remains our favorite. It's genuine, unpretentious, and full of charm.
I almost didn't want to write this review because I didn't want the secret of Hillside to get out even more. However, I have to give a special mention to Anri and Olcay from Kidside.
Traveling with our 16-month-old daughter, we decided to take advantage of the kids club (Kidside) and their babysitting/nanny service. Anri and Olcay took care of our daughter all week. We were initially nervous about leaving her, but they were absolutely amazing with her. After the first time, we felt completely comfortable leaving her with them for a few hours each day.
There are only two negatives that bothered us about this place. First, it gets very loud at night, which made it difficult for us to fall asleep before midnight. Next time, we'll request a room in a quieter area near Silent Beach.
The second negative is that they don't turn on the air conditioning system until June. I still can't understand why, but it made for some uncomfortable nights and worrying about whether the baby was too hot.
Despite these issues, the numerous pros of this place outweigh them for us.
Thank you once again, Hillside. We'll definitely be returning.

Just returned from our trip to the hillside, and it was my family's first time there. The food was absolutely amazing, and the staff members were incredibly kind and attentive. They were genuinely lovely people, especially Oznur hanim and Emrecan bey, who stood out to me the most. Their generosity and kindness were truly appreciated.
However, we did notice that the rooms were in need of soundproofing as we could hear everything from the neighboring rooms. Additionally, the room standards were average and did not meet the expectations of a 5-star establishment. Despite these issues, we still had a pleasant stay, although we are unsure if we would choose to return in the future.
There were quite a few Turkish individuals who seemed to have some wealth and acted as if they were the center of the world. It was disheartening to witness them talking down to the staff. Some of the customers displayed a great deal of arrogance. We observed this silently.
