Hotel Turquoise Side Side Sorgun Manavgat

The Resort and Its Setting

Hotel Turquoise Side sits in the Sorgun area of Manavgat, on Turkey's Turquoise Coast — the stretch of Antalya province known for pine-backed beaches and warm, clear Mediterranean water. Reviewers rate it 4.5 out of 5 from over 2,350 reviews, and Google's own summary describes it as a relaxed property with six restaurants, six bars, pools, a spa and kids' activities. It's run independently rather than as part of a branded hotel chain, which is typical of a lot of Turkish timeshare stock from the 1990s and early 2000s — the trade-off is usually a lower annual fee than you'd find at a branded resort, set against fewer formal cross-network exchange guarantees.

The Area and Things to Do

Manavgat and Side are well established on the Turkish holiday map, and the area around the resort gives owners a mix of beach time and day trips. The Manavgat River, with its boat tours and riverside restaurants, is about 5 km away, and the Manavgat Waterfalls — a popular stop for photos and a walk along the river gorge — are roughly 8 km out. Mediterranean beaches are within about 3 km of the resort. For history, the ancient ruins of Side, with their Greco-Roman temple and theatre, are around 25 km away, and Antalya's old town, Kaleiçi, with its Ottoman streets and harbour, is about 40 km further along the coast. Antalya International Airport connects the region to most major European cities, which keeps the area easy to reach for both owners and renters.

Selling or Renting a Week Here

If you own a week at Hotel Turquoise Side and want to sell or rent it out, BidMyTimeshare.com works as a direct owner-to-owner marketplace: you list your week, set your own asking price, and interested buyers or renters contact you through the platform. There's no commission on the sale — sellers simply pay a one-off listing fee to get their week in front of buyers.

Because this is an independent resort rather than a branded one, resale here is typically handled through the resort's own owners' association or on-site management office rather than a central corporate transfer desk. Before agreeing a price with a buyer, ask management directly for the current transfer fee, any right-of-first-refusal clause, and the latest annual maintenance fee — these vary by contract and aren't published figures, so get them in writing from the resort before you commit. A resale buyer normally takes on the week itself and the obligation to pay future annual fees, but won't inherit any loyalty perks or promotional extras tied to the original purchase, so it's worth being upfront about exactly what is and isn't included when you list.

Renters, for their part, are usually looking for straightforward things: confirmed dates, clarity on what's included (the resort's restaurants, bars, pools and spa access, for instance), and a seller who can explain how check-in works at an independent property like this one.

Practical Notes for Owners and Buyers

The Turkish lira is the local currency and ATMs are widely available around Manavgat and Side, so there's no need to carry large amounts of cash. The region has decent road infrastructure, and a rental car is a reasonable way to see the waterfalls, Side, or Antalya at your own pace during a stay. Summer (June–September) is peak season and the busiest — and hottest — time to travel, while spring and autumn bring milder, more comfortable weather for sightseeing away from the pool.
