Side Zeugma Hotel - Adult Only 16 Plus

Zeugma is advertised as a 16+ adults-only hotel, but during my stay it felt more like a 60+ resort. Around 90% of the guests were German retirees, and if you don’t speak German, you may feel left out. Bob, who is mentioned in many reviews, seems to be the center of the entertainment program. The animation often feels more about promoting Bob than entertaining guests. He openly told us that German guests leave good reviews, and there is a noticeable focus on encouraging positive feedback. The whole atmosphere can come across as somewhat self-centered and repetitive. The pool music was mostly old-fashioned elevator-style music. When we briefly played a small speaker with some modern music at a reasonable volume, several angry guests immediately complained. The food was average with limited variety, especially when it came to fresh fruit. Cocktails often tasted watered down, although the bar staff were fantastic and happily adjusted drinks upon request. The real stars of this hotel are the housekeeping team, bartenders, and waiters. They were consistently friendly, professional, and hardworking. Overall, this is a great choice if you’re a German retiree looking for a very quiet vacation. Younger international travelers should be aware that the atmosphere is much older and less diverse than the hotel’s 16+ marketing suggests.

This was our 3rd stay at the Side Zeugma hotel and it was fabulous again. We booked a sea view room and were given room 606 which is at the side of the hotel with amazing views of the sea and a large balcony. The staff are all lovely, very helpful and friendly especially Zeynep in the bar and restaurant and Adil at reception. The entertainment team headed by Bob ran numerous activities during the day and the evening shows were excellent. Choice of food and drinks were excellent. Can't wait to stay again. Thank you to all the staff at Side Zeugma.

Amazing, modern hotel. Great food, drinks and atmosphere.

Ok

Lovely new small hotel. Friendly attentive staff and fantastic animation team, Gaby, Bob and Abdullah. Food excellent, plenty of choice including cooked to order omelettes and pasta and different themed meals in the evening. Particularly enjoyed the seafood and sushi evening. 20 minutes walk along the promenade to Side old town and only a few minutes from the beach. Would definitely recommend.
