What guests think
At Acanthus Cennet Barut Collection - Ultra All Inclusive, guests often praise spotless grounds, varied high quality food, friendly staff, comfortable modern rooms, and a beachfront setting, while several reviews note spa letdowns, occasional rudeness, and crowding during peak periods.
Many appreciate the beach access, pool areas and lively entertainment, plus premium spirits and cocktails within the all-inclusive plan. Cats are common around terraces, which some guests dislike, and families note a modest kids club. The setting near Side’s promenade allows pleasant walks to sights and feels quiet at night. Expect a polished, resort-style stay with abundant food and attentive service, with occasional drawbacks during busy periods.

The staff, food, and cleanliness were excellent. However, the Instagram page appears to have a playground, and this is not the case for this hotel. They are advertising these amenities in this hotel where in fact they are in another hotel from the Barut Collection(Hemera). Resulting in a slight disappointment in the enjoyment of our stay for my son. A big positive was the two employees from the KidsClub as they made my son's vacation a bit better due to the lack of the above-mentioned amenities.

Барут - отличная сеть, уже третий раз останавливаемся и очень довольны. Потрясающая кухня в основном ресторане, чисто везде, приятный дизайн, отличный большой вечерний бар с большим ассортиментов напитков. Территория организована очень хорошо. Хорошие фитнес-зал, пляж и променад. В целом хороший сервис. Немного дёгтя: очень плохие рестораны алякарт (как ни странно при отличном основном ресторане) и СПА-центр. Спасибо вам, Барут, приедем к вам ещё. Всем удачи.

The hotel is very clean, modern and serene setting for a holiday away. You get to experience wonderful food that alternates daily. There’s something every night that will be to your liking. We went away with children and the hotel goes out of the way to ensure the kids are happy and have food that suits their needs. On request, we were made toast, chicken and noodles for our children when they missed buffet times or wanted to eat their familiar favourites. Ahmet was our favourite waiter, hardworking and good with children. The head chef was also kind and accommodating to our needs, especially as we had toddlers. The food and beverage manager, Mr Hassan was super considerate and went out of his way to support us in the hotel and with our efforts to support the Turkish people who were staying in a nearby hotel and were affected by the earthquakes. He went above and beyond and is a true asset to the hotel. A genuine, lovely and caring man. Another employee who needs recognition is Jasmine. She works in the kids club. She runs the club alone and does it with a great attitude. She has a real passion for working with children and that shines through. Our little ones looked forward to seeing Jasmine and she always treated them like they were special and she makes every child feel that way. I would like to note that out of all the facilities provided at the hotel the kids club should be invested in further. It needs higher quality resources and varied activities.

I wholeheartedly recommend this all-inclusive resort for an unforgettable getaway. The food, entertainment, and drinks were absolutely top-notch, ensuring every moment was enjoyable. The staff provided exceptional service, making us feel truly pampered. The spa offered a unique experience—don't miss the Turkish bath and treat yourself to at least a 90-minute massage. The views of the Mediterranean are simply breathtaking, providing a perfect backdrop for relaxation. The beaches are lovely, and the pool, along with its amenities, is fantastic for unwinding. This resort truly has everything for a memorable vacation.

Overall good, but with some disappointing things: some waiters are rude and unprofessional. SPA center still bad. Overcrowded on NY celebration. The main pool had no heating.

Dit is zeker een van de beste hotels waar we reeds verbleven. Het eten is gewoon super lekker en er is meer dan voldoende variatie. Het personeel is super vriendelijk en iedereen doet zijn best om je in het engels te helpen. Enig puntje van verbetering zijn de shows waar iets meer afwisseling kan gebeuren. Dagelijks professionele dansers aan het werk zien is uiteraard niet slecht maar soms is het leuk eens een andere act te bekijken. Leuk trouwens dat de dansgroep ook regelmatig animatie bracht aan het zwembad.

Fantastic spreads for all meals, good variety and avoiding repetition. Staff made sure we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and were always with a smile. Enough space to make it feel like it wasn’t crowded even with the number of guests. Brilliant entertainment with live bands and performances.

It’s hard to beat this hotel for quality of staff, facilities, food, drinks, room comfort, and everything else. And at this price point it represents amazing value with everything included! I come to Turkey now just to stay here, three years in a row so far, and more to come I’m sure. I’m only home a day and already missing being right on edge of Med., watching sunset from jacuzzi on balcony and then the stars coming out. Highly recommend! All rooms are good quality but worth going for upgrade. They also recognise Hotels.com Gold members unlike many other hotels. Also great location. Apart from being right on beach, to which staff will bring complimentary drinks from the bar, it’s a nice walk along the shore to the Temple of Apollo (photo) and other ruins. Really quiet at night. Lots of cats, like all around Side, but they are clean and add some colour and make great photos.

I wish I could give them five star because for an all inclusive hotel it is exceptionally clean and calm and the food quality and selection is unbelievable the best I ever had but some of the reception staff were rude. Upon our checking in the receptionist scanned our passports and its not a common practice in other countries my son asked why the receptionist shouted at him like he was not allowed to ask why. It was a terrible first impression my son was pushing me to get back home as it was a very strange experience checking in a five star hotel.

Bayram tatilinde iki kızımla birlikte Acanthus Cennet Barut Hotel’de konakladık ve gerçekten hayatımızın en keyifli tatillerinden birini yaşadık. Otelin temizliği, konforu ve kalitesi kesinlikle üst seviyede. En çok etkilendiğim şey ise personelin güler yüzlülüğü, nazik tavırları ve samimiyeti oldu. Ne zaman bir şey rica etsek "Memnuniyetle" ya da "Keyifle içiniz" gibi içten cevaplar almak insanı özel hissettiriyor. Tesisin her köşesinde misafir memnuniyetinin ön planda olduğunu hissettik. Çocuklu bir aile olarak huzur, konfor ve kalite arayan herkese gönül rahatlığıyla tavsiye ederim. Bizim için unutulmaz bir tatil oldu, tekrar görüşmek dileğiyle!

Alles an diesem Hotel war einfach perfekt. Die Anlage wirkt hochwertig, ruhig, sauber und modern. Das Personal war ausnahmslos freundlich, aufmerksam und höflich. Das All Inclusive angebotene Essen war sowohl im Palmyie Buffetrestaurant als auch im von uns besuchten Levante A La Carte Restaurant von sehr guter Qualität, die Bar war gut sortiert und die Atmosphäre dort sehr angenehm und niveauvoll. Auch der Wellnessbereich konnte auf ganzer Linie überzeugen. Das Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis in der Nebensaison war erstklassig, wir haben dort sehr viele Stammgäste mit zum Teil 20 und mehr Aufenthalten kennengelernt und können sehr gut nachvollziehen, warum sie immer wieder kommen.

Fabulous Hotel , great food cocktails and luxurious rooms. Service exceptional and the food in the Safir restaurant was fantastic. Our room had partial sea view and the only criticism is we looked directly onto rooms opposite . I would recommend full sea view rokms which do not have this minor issue . All in all a fabulous two night break.

It’s hard to beat this hotel for quality of staff, facilities, food, drinks, room comfort, and everything else. And at this price point it represents amazing value with everything included! I come to Turkey now just to stay here, three years in a row so far, and more to come I’m sure. I’m only home a day and already missing being right on edge of Med., watching sunset from jacuzzi on balcony and then the stars coming out. Highly recommend! All rooms are good quality but worth going for upgrade. They also recognise Hotels.com Gold members unlike many other hotels. Also great location.

I wish I could give them five star because for an all inclusive hotel it is exceptionally clean and calm and the food quality and selection is unbelievable the best I ever had but some of the reception staff were rude. Upon our checking in the receptionist scanned our passports and its not a common practice in other countries my son asked why the receptionist shouted at him like he was not allowed to ask why. It was a terrible first impression my son was pushing me to get back home as it was a very strange experience checking in a five star hotel.

Ein Hotel nahe an der Perfektion. Ich schreibe daher nur auf, was mich trotz all der Schönheit gestört hat. Total nervig: Liegen am Pool und Strand werden früh morgens reserviert, so dass wir in den ersten 3 Tagen nach dem Frühstück keine Chance auf eine Liege am Pool hatten. Am 4. Tag haben wir dann aus Notwehr dieses Spiel mitgemacht. Nächster Punkt: das Hotel ist das Zuhause von zahlreichen Katzen. Diese sind auch im Restaurant und den Terassen. Wer das (wie ich) nicht mag und unhygienisch findet oder eine Katzenhaarallergie hat, sollte das Hotel nicht buchen. Ich habe vor Anreise per Mail zwei Wünsche geäußert. Beide wurden komplett ignoriert. Bei dem Wunsch nach einer Lage des Zimmers ist es dann sogar das komplette Gegenteil geworden. Ich wollte Aussenseite nah am Meer und habe Innenseite das letzte Zimmer bekommen. Aus diesen genannten Gründen würde ich das Hotel nicht nochmal wählen.

This is my second time staying in Acanthus, Side. I came back this year to Turkey just to stay in this hotel. The main staff are amazing, always helpful and friendly, the food terrific and the buffet changes regularly. Everywhere is so clean and the all inclusive policy is fantastic, even a free mini-bar in the room, replenished daily! I have noticed a big increase in the roaming cat population since my last visit. EVERY time I sat down to eat outside or have a coffee, or a drink, there were cats already sitting on the seats, or looking at me, from below, for food (even though there are signs not to feed the cats everywhere, they obviously expect to be fed). I could see some guests, esp. children, seemed to enjoy the cats, but it does not feel so hygienic as sometimes there is cat hair around (but still mostly very clean). BTW I like animals. I was also disappointed that, at check-in, they said I was not entitled to a room upgrade, as a Hotels.com Gold Member, even though it clearly states it on their site and also on my booking. I had to ask for the manager. Then they tried to say there were no higher level rooms available, even though I could show them the site advertising all room types that day. Grudgingly they gave me an upgrade. It was much appreciated, but would have been nicer if it had been given automatically, as I was entitled to it. It does highlight benefit of having Hotels.com membership! Still one of my favourite hotels.

We had a great time at this beautiful hotel with an exceptional service until we came back one day after our dinner and realized my wedding ring which was left in the room was gone after the evening room turndown service. I must admit that I made a mistake leaving it on the main desk but I just dont like wearing jewellery at all so I didnt realize it until we came back to the room and it was gone. We reported it to the reception, provided some photos that I had it during our stay and they checked with housekeeping but I felt like they didnt take it too seriously and made me feel like I just made up some story. We checked everything and everywhere a few times but it is still nowhere to be found. Don't know what to think about this. I learned my lesson.

Bayram tatilinde iki kızımla birlikte Acanthus Cennet Barut Hotel’de konakladık ve gerçekten hayatımızın en keyifli tatillerinden birini yaşadık. Otelin temizliği, konforu ve kalitesi kesinlikle üst seviyede. En çok etkilendiğim şey ise personelin güler yüzlülüğü, nazik tavırları ve samimiyeti oldu. Ne zaman bir şey rica etsek "Memnuniyetle" ya da "Keyifle içiniz" gibi içten cevaplar almak insanı özel hissettiriyor. Tesisin her köşesinde misafir memnuniyetinin ön planda olduğunu hissettik. Çocuklu bir aile olarak huzur, konfor ve kalite arayan herkese gönül rahatlığıyla tavsiye ederim. Bizim için unutulmaz bir tatil oldu, tekrar görüşmek dileğiyle!

I wholeheartedly recommend this all-inclusive resort for an unforgettable getaway. The food, entertainment, and drinks were absolutely top-notch, ensuring every moment was enjoyable. The staff provided exceptional service, making us feel truly pampered. The spa offered a unique experience—don't miss the Turkish bath and treat yourself to at least a 90-minute massage. The views of the Mediterranean are simply breathtaking, providing a perfect backdrop for relaxation. The beaches are lovely, and the pool, along with its amenities, is fantastic for unwinding. This resort truly has everything for a memorable vacation.

Alles an diesem Hotel war einfach perfekt. Die Anlage wirkt hochwertig, ruhig, sauber und modern. Das Personal war ausnahmslos freundlich, aufmerksam und höflich. Das All Inclusive angebotene Essen war sowohl im Palmyie Buffetrestaurant als auch im von uns besuchten Levante A La Carte Restaurant von sehr guter Qualität, die Bar war gut sortiert und die Atmosphäre dort sehr angenehm und niveauvoll. Auch der Wellnessbereich konnte auf ganzer Linie überzeugen. Das Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis in der Nebensaison war erstklassig, wir haben dort sehr viele Stammgäste mit zum Teil 20 und mehr Aufenthalten kennengelernt und können sehr gut nachvollziehen, warum sie immer wieder kommen.

I originally booked this as a surprise for my fiancé\'s birthday. For both of us, it was our first time going on a "relax" or beachy type holiday. I am a pretty well traveled person, but this hotel was honestly the best hotel I have ever stayed in. The food of course was fabulous, and with loads of variety to choose from. I am only sad I could not eat everything! Every part of the hotel feels luxurious and all the staff members are incredibly nice and far more genuine than I have seen at other hotels. If you want to do a bit of sightseeing there are many thing within walking distance. The only thing for me was the drinks, which I often found to be too bitter for me when they should have been sweet. However it didn\'t change my opinion of the hotel. I am excited to visit the other three hotels in the Barut Collection as well as return to this one.

Dit is zeker een van de beste hotels waar we reeds verbleven. Het eten is gewoon super lekker en er is meer dan voldoende variatie. Het personeel is super vriendelijk en iedereen doet zijn best om je in het engels te helpen. Enig puntje van verbetering zijn de shows waar iets meer afwisseling kan gebeuren. Dagelijks professionele dansers aan het werk zien is uiteraard niet slecht maar soms is het leuk eens een andere act te bekijken. Leuk trouwens dat de dansgroep ook regelmatig animatie bracht aan het zwembad.

It’s hard to beat this hotel for quality of staff, facilities, food, drinks, room comfort, and everything else. And at this price point it represents amazing value with everything included! I come to Turkey now just to stay here, three years in a row so far, and more to come I’m sure. I’m only home a day and already missing being right on edge of Med., watching sunset from jacuzzi on balcony and then the stars coming out. Highly recommend! All rooms are good quality but worth going for upgrade. They also recognise Hotels.com Gold members unlike many other hotels. Also great location. Apart from being right on beach, to which staff will bring complimentary drinks from the bar, it’s a nice walk along the shore to the Temple of Apollo (photo) and other ruins. Really quiet at night.

Барут - отличная сеть, уже третий раз останавливаемся и очень довольны. Потрясающая кухня в основном ресторане, чисто везде, приятный дизайн, отличный большой вечерний бар с большим ассортиментов напитков. Территория организована очень хорошо. Хорошие фитнес-зал, пляж и променад. В целом хороший сервис. Немного дёгтя: очень плохие рестораны алякарт (как ни странно при отличном основном ресторане) и СПА-центр. Спасибо вам, Барут, приедем к вам ещё. Всем удачи.

The hotel is very clean, modern and serene setting for a holiday away. You get to experience wonderful food that alternates daily. There’s something every night that will be to your liking. We went away with children and the hotel goes out of the way to ensure the kids are happy and have food that suits their needs. On request, we were made toast, chicken and noodles for our children when they missed buffet times or wanted to eat their familiar favourites. Ahmet was our favourite waiter, hardworking and good with children. The head chef was also kind and accommodating to our needs, especially as we had toddlers. The food and beverage manager, Mr Hassan was super considerate and went out of his way to support us in the hotel and with our efforts to support the Turkish people who were staying in a nearby hotel and were affected by the earthquakes. He went above and beyond and is a true asset to the hotel. A genuine, lovely and caring man. Another employee who needs recognition is Jasmine. She works in the kids club. She runs the club alone and does it with a great attitude. She has a real passion for working with children and that shines through. Our little ones looked forward to seeing Jasmine and she always treated them like they were special and she makes every child feel that way. I would like to note that out of all the facilities provided at the hotel the kids club should be invested in further. It needs higher quality resources and varied activities.

Fabulous Hotel , great food cocktails and luxurious rooms. Service exceptional and the food in the Safir restaurant was fantastic. Our room had partial sea view and the only criticism is we looked directly onto rooms opposite . I would recommend full sea view rokms which do not have this minor issue . All in all a fabulous two night break.

Acanthus Cennet Barut states they are a five-star resort but I think this must only be compared to other resorts in the area as they definitely aren't five-star when compared to global five-star resorts we've been to. They have a very difficult restaurant booking process where you are guaranteed to only have the buffet as an option your first couple days as they require reservations two days ahead. We complained as our stay was only for a weekend, so we had no way of accessing any of the other restaurant options. They put us on the waitlist and we ended up going to the Italian restaurant and frankly we should have stuck with the buffet as it was not good. There is no room service, no smart tvs, and the area around the resort wasn't nice except for the beach area. Overall the quality of amenities, service, and food was a 3 or 3.5 star resort.
