The Raga Side

We had a truly wonderful, relaxing time in this fantastic hotel! Food and drinks were top quality with plenty of variety to suit all tastes and available 24/7. Staff were very welcoming and attentive throughout our 2 week stay. Location is great, just a stones throw from the beach. Perfect place to relax and recuperate in immaculately clean and stylish surroundings. Highly recommended, great value for money.

I cannot fault this hotel. Beautiful rooms. Amazing staff. Fabulous food. Incredible holiday. The food was superb with great choices everyday. Cooked to perfection. Pool is lovely. Beach area which is private was only a short walk away. I will be coming back as it really was tgat good. I have no complaints at all. Adult only hotel and relatively small.so good for a quiet break. There is nothing more to say other than thanking the staff for giving us the best 10 day holiday ever.

Our stay at Raga Fine Dining Hotel was absolutely wonderful. The food was delicious, beautifully presented, and offered a great variety each day. The staff were incredibly friendly, attentive, and always ready to help. The cocktails were exceptional, and the rooms were beautifully maintained and cleaned daily. One of the highlights was the brilliant app system, allowing us to conveniently order food and drinks straight to our table or sunbed – a fantastic touch that made the experience even more enjoyable. Highly recommended for anyone seeking comfort, excellent service, and outstanding cuisine. Special greetings to Musa and Can - you made our stay even more memorable. Kacper from Poland.

What an amazing time we've had; the whole hotel experience at the Raga is amazing!! Spent 9 nights and wished we didn't have to leave. First stayed two years ago, loved it then and would have gone last year if we'd not been getting married etc. The whole hotel experience is fantastic...everything from the great well appointed rooms to the service (especially the poolside and beach drinks service via the app) and the staff which all go above and beyond. You really won't want for anything at this hotel and I think you could easily pay more for a lot less. We literally landed home yesterday and are already booking up for next summer. Big shout out to Bircan the poolside waiter who made sure everyone had a great time and a drink in hand. Saw some earlier reviews mentioning the app and just wanted to say it's super easy to use, for food in the restaurants or drinks anywhere. Freshly prepared samples of the al a carte meals are displayed in the restaurants so youre not relying on just the pics in the app. There are also lovely and varied buffet options to help youself too and a selection of desserts that would befit a patisserie window. Can't wait for stay number three next year; I tell everyone about this hotel and the whole experience. Looking forward to it already!!

🏨 Hotel Review – Hotel Raga Side (5-star Adults-Only) Holiday for three – three adults, 28 years old – 9 nights We are travelers from Germany. 🛏️ Room We had a twin room that was extended with a bed frame for the third person. For three adults, this wasn’t ideal, but overall it was acceptable. The room was clean, had a spacious and comfortable bathroom, and a nice balcony. 🧳 Check-in & Welcome Upon arrival, we were immediately offered a paid upgrade to a suite, which felt a bit pushy and uncomfortable. Aside from that, the check-in process went smoothly. 🍽️ Dining & Service The food was very good, varied, and served at a well-organized buffet. QR codes placed throughout the hotel allowed guests to order food and drinks via the hotel app – a great idea in theory, but inconsistently implemented. Orders sometimes took long, occasionally didn’t arrive, or lacked any confirmation. 🎭 Entertainment & Animation Team The hotel offered a show every evening, such as dance or singing performances, which were usually well attended. Many guests joined in dancing afterward, creating a lively and relaxed atmosphere. Throughout the day, there was a broad animation program including darts, boccia, and aqua gym – plus many other activities. There was something going on at nearly all times, making the schedule varied and entertaining. The hotel’s main target group consisted mostly of older guests, which was not a negative aspect for us. Some members of the animation team invited guests – including us – to parties outside the hotel. Each hotel usually had its own assigned table in upscale club locations, where parties lasted until around 2:00 a.m. It was a nice way to enjoy the evening in a different setting. Note: drink prices at the clubs were not clearly stated in advance – for example, a 700ml bottle of Havana rum cost about €160. A special thanks goes to Yasmin from the animation team, who was extremely dedicated, helpful, and attentive. She explained activities, showed us around, and immediately followed up on feedback and minor concerns. 🏖️ Hotel Grounds & Beach The hotel consists of a main building and an annex. It’s about a 3-minute walk from the main building to the beach. There’s a large pool by the main building and a smaller one near the annex. There were enough loungers at the beach, although the area was a bit narrow due to the presence of a volleyball court and boccia field. The beach itself was very clean and the water was great for swimming. 🌍 Location & Surroundings The town center of Side is about a 20-minute walk away. There are many excursions available through tour operators or online booking – including scuba diving, parasailing, jet skiing, banana boat rides, or pirate ship cruises. We felt safe walking around the hotel and the area, even at night. 💆 Wellness & Spa There is a wellness and spa area, though we did not use it during our stay. 📶 Wi-Fi & Quietness Wi-Fi was free and worked very well. It was pleasantly quiet at night. 🚐 Transfer The airport transfer was well organized and went smoothly. 🤝 Staff Most of the hotel staff were friendly and helpful. 💶 Value for Money The overall price-performance ratio was fair. Cleanliness, food quality, the facilities, and the rich activity offering made the price justifiable. There were a few minor shortcomings, such as the inconsistent order system and the sleeping arrangement for three ad 📌 Additional Notes Payment in euros was expected in most cases. Plenty of loungers were available at the pool and beach. The hotel and its surroundings were clean and felt safe at all times. ⭐ Overall Rating We give the hotel 8 out of 10 stars. A well-maintained adults-only hotel with excellent food, a great location, clean rooms, and a diverse entertainment program. Ideal for couples or two adults. For three adults, we recommend clarifying the sleeping setup in advance.
