    Wery nice hotel

    rating28 Feb 2026

    First of all, thank you. The rooms are wonderful, spacious and clean. The food is excellent and delicious, and all the staff are very good – the waiters, the animation team, the fitness center, the gym – everyone is helpful. Actually, this hotel deserves 6 stars. Thank you for everything, best holiday.

    A FANTASTIC experience during low season!

    rating25 Feb 2026

    I would like to complement and recomend the hotel to anyone that is looking for a good place to stay in Side.I would like to start mentioning the staff. They are fantastic!The housekeeping, restaurants, cleaners, are outstanding. The reception could be more friendly, one or two of them are quite rude, however, just do your check in and go to see the others around the hotel, they are great! The team at the upstairs bar opposite the reception is Outstanding . Mecit and Melisa are the most friendly and helpful people ever. Mecit skills to do cocktails is AMAZING, he can make anything, and Melisa can speak a great English’s and can give you information and is super friendly, she makes sure that you get enough drink and is super helpful.I really enjoyed my evenings by this bar talking and being looked after them! Thank you! The hotel is huge, the bedrooms are maaaasssiive, with a very nice shower, big and comfortable bed, plenty of extras for you to use. The SPA is lovely, clean and the indoor swimming pool is warm and very clean.The outdoor area is amazing and just at the beach that you can walk all the way to the old Town if you have time and energy. Outside the hotel you can get a van that also can take you to the old town for €2.50, you don’t need to spend money on taxi, it is safe and quick!Plenty of shops around.The food is delicious and a great selection.I wish that I could mention all the names in here, as a lot of great staff that will remember your favorite drink and food from the first day! Have a fantastic stay!

    Lovely facilities, but service could improve

    rating29 Oct 2025

    This hotel is in a good location, right by a busy shopping area so you can get souvenirs, fake clothing and handbags/shoes. Plus you are only a €15 taxi ride to Side Old Town which is well worth a visit. The hotel is spotlessly clean - the room, pool area, beach and the restaurants(s). Our room was huge, with a huge bathroom area that doubled as a dressing room - all our clothes storage was in there. For a family of 4 we had a double bed, a permanent single bed and a fold out single bed. Now for other areas you should be aware of before booking - this is a German tourist resort, and I don’t mean they are the majority. I mean we were the ONLY British tourists there, staff only spoke to us in German and we felt quite isolated. If you want to go here for your kids to socialise and make friends, perhaps think again! Staff at the Royal Taj Mahal work really hard, but there was a night my husband wasn’t feeling well so didn’t join us for dinner. As a female, I was almost ignored - took ages to get our drinks, or to get plates cleared. This was by the same server who we’d had the previous night (who we tipped!) and was all over my husband offering him extra drinks as he was nearing the end of his beer etc the night before. This also extended to the reception area - twice I was ignored as a female in favour of a male German tourist despite them seeing me waiting there. Was it because I was female? Was it because I was British? Who knows, but again not what I would have expected from a 5 star hotel. The other thing to note, I love eating outside when abroad. The terrace area is TINY and we could never get a table. For the size of the hotel, there was only a handful of tables outside. Compared to the hotel we stayed in last year, where everything was outside, I found this disappointing. The restaurant was chaotic at dinner time, we soon learnt that if you delayed going down by an hour (it opens at 7pm, we delayed going down until 8pm) it was a far nicer experience, less crowded and easier to find a table (inside table only, never could get an outside table in the evening!).Overall I thought this was a great hotel, the pools were plentiful, beach lovely and the kids enjoyed the waterslides. Would I return? Probably not, the service wasn’t up to the standards I would have expected from a 5 star resort and we should have returned to the hotel we went to last year - AQI Pegasos Resort - at this resort there was a huge diversity of different nationalities, and the staff bent over backwards to welcome EVERYBODY. Sadly the same cannot be said for Royal Taj Mahal. Bottom line, clean and spacious rooms, brilliant facilities, great location but service lets it down - hence 4 star review.

    Historic location, poor food, overcrowded, disappointing — will not return.

    rating15 Oct 2025

    The Taj Mahal Palace has a good location and historic charm, but our stay was disappointing. The hotel is older, rooms show signs of wear but are clean, and the main dining hall is overcrowded, noisy, and the food is mostly low-quality — pasta, soups, desserts, and fruit were particularly weak. Beach food is just convenience food, and all sunbeds are taken by 10:00 AM every day.Despite the friendly staff and pleasant pool, the overall experience did not meet expectations. Based on this stay, we will not visit again.
