Built in 1997 and renovated in 2019, the hotel features two outdoor pools, water slides, and a variety of free sports and entertainment options such as table tennis, basketball, darts, mini-football, and live music. Families will appreciate the children’s club for ages 4–12, an outdoor kids’ pool, playground, and child care services available for a fee. The hotel’s restaurant serves buffet breakfasts (additional fees apply) and Turkish cuisine with an emphasis on fresh salads and grilled fish or chicken in the evenings. Multiple bars and a terrace for sunbathing are available, though pool towels are not provided. Wi-Fi is free in public areas, and there is free parking on site.

The location is as described, but unfortunately that’s where the positives end. The atmosphere is disappointing, starting with very poor communication from staff. Many of them barely speak English, which is surprising for a hotel expecting international guests.
The rooms are in serious need of renovation, but that’s not even the main issue—they are dirty and mouldy. As for cleaning, if you request it they will change your bedsheets and towels, but I would expect much more from a 4-star hotel. The balcony is extremely small, barely fitting one chair, and there is no clothes drying rack in the room.
The noise at night is terrible. The town’s disco isn’t directly the hotel’s fault, but the windows are so poor that they do nothing to reduce the noise. The same applies to the daily 5am visit from the garbage truck.
The food was another major disappointment. Breakfast options were very limited: hard-boiled eggs, an omelette, bread, fries, and a few types of tasteless cheese - I really missed something as simple as gouda. The so-called ‘meat’ was so bad even the local cats refused to eat it. The salad bar was available but repetitive. Lunch and dinner were slightly less monotonous but still lacked flavour and variety. I was hoping for a genuine Turkish food experience, but this was far from it. The pool bar only offered fries, burgers, paninis or spaghetti - hardly appealing over a week.
The all-inclusive drinks were poor quality. Alcoholic drinks were heavily watered down and the juices were simply undrinkable.
To be fair, the pools were nice and clean - probably the only positive thing I can mention.
As for entertainment or extras, there were none. Perhaps this was because we visited during their last open week, but there was no karaoke (except on our first night), no aqua aerobics, no darts - nothing.
Lastly, the number of cats and flies everywhere was overwhelming and unpleasant.

Horrendous hotel. No where near a 4 star, a 2 would be generous.
Dirty rooms. Staff not interested.
Ridiculously loud music by the pool whilst everyone is trying to relax.
The food was really bad. Got food poising
All cold and disgusting.
They didn’t even bother labelling what each item was. Shut the place down

Rooms were nothing like the photos. nobody spoke any English (I'm not so uncultured to assume they would be fluent, however when accommodating international guests it seems odd to not be able to communicate. Our room was full of ants, very run down and grubby, mould all over and despite trying multiple times, nobody could understand our complaints. The beds were solid as a rock and we had only one awful pillow each and even the double bed had one regular blanket and then one spare scratchy brown one which couldn't cover two. We had just one coat hanger and one half of a toilet roll, we gave up asking for more in the end so just bought some. The sink took over 10 minutes to drain as it was so blocked and the whole bathroom was filthy, there were holes in the walls, shattered floor tiles and it just looked very tired. The food was terrible, no labels on anything and the same old thing day after day. Breakfast had no pastries, no toast, just lots of salads, a few cheeses and very reformed slices of meat and chips. Drinks were all served in the thinnest plastic cups known to man so kids were spilling them all over and not one person could understand my request for Diet/Zero/no sugar versions, I even tried Google translate with no luck. The snack bar serves just one item each day along with fries. There was no ice cream or anything without an extra cost. Pool was good, however all the activities were only in Turkish and so we found it difficult to join in. I have stayed in much nicer, cheaper and less star hotels. Our balcony was a large concrete slab, we only had large glass door, which faced a wall and a pile of rubbish, no windows, no chairs or anything.

The main idea is attitude😉 realizing that this hotel's offers are really cheap and reading comments on Google, Booking and elsewhere you can't expect much. Lots of greenery and space for beautiful photos, quite a good main pool, maintained, cleaned, toilets are also maintained. The children really liked the pool, water slides are turned on for an hour in the afternoon, but there is no person supervising. A snack bar is open by the pool from 11 am and 3 pm (Turkish snack in the morning, burgers or panini in the afternoon), the bar is open from 10 am to 6 pm. Helpful bartenders, local drinks undiluted.
The maids clean the rooms according to your wishes, we only changed towels and replenished supplies. Food. Breakfast is poor, lunch and dinner are more varied, more focused on Turkish cuisine, but you can definitely eat a hearty meal. (Tourists accustomed to English breakfast will be disappointed, they especially complained that they only eat fries). In the evening, they grill fish and chicken. There is little fruit, but there is always fresh watermelon. We did not get food poisoning, although after reading the comments I brought a lot of medicine, but neither the adults nor the children needed it. We changed rooms because we did not like the first one they offered. The second one was fine. The room is simple, but the beds are quite comfortable, the air conditioners work. We brought insect repellent 🙈🙈, but we did not need it. One child is allergic to dust mites and often needs medicine in hotels after 2-3 days, I was surprised, but he did not even sneeze here 👌🏻
We could dwell on the need for cosmetic repairs, it would be needed in many places, but it did not bother us.
Many stairs, no elevators, one of the managers (who oversees the dining room and bars) is very rude, rude to guests and staff, but all the other staff are very helpful, cheerful, clean, running around, trying to remember little things about the guests. The evening program is short, but interesting, every evening is different. About 1 km to the sea., the coast is dirty, didn't like it, so we used the pool, booked a boat trip👌🏻 Considering the price, we had small bills for tips and everything was really taken care of.
Audience: 30% Turkish, 20% English, 20% Polish, a little bit of everyone else, there were also Germans and Swedes. The evening is quiet, the program ends around 11 pm. Not too many drunks are seen, no one is fighting or shouting, music can be heard a little from the city.

The time we spent at this hotel was wonderful. Me and my friends are already planning to come back here next year. The location is really great! It’s close to the beach, souvenir shops and clubs. All the staff was really nice and very helpful. The food was plentiful and delicious. The rooms were clean and the beds were comfortable. The hotel also offers a lot of activities and trips for children and adults. I think that vacation at this place it’s good option for everyone!

Rooms are horrific, doors are not secure & the food was terrible every day. Never in a million years is this a 4 star hotel it’s gross. Receptionists weren’t pleasant either just rolled their eyes at you when you tell them an issue. I would not recommend staying here.
The only positive I have is that there are 3 amazing restaurants & bars down the hill so location is great,

I was in Turkey not the first time. Me and my wife were in 3 stars hotel in Alanya, but that 3 stars was much more better than this "4 stars" hotel.
I do not know how the owner got 4 stars, but knowing who is the owner explains for me everything.
Aš one reviewer mentioned, even in Eastern Europe it could be compared to at most 2 stars hotel.
It should be closed for renovation immediately. I do not write about cocrouches, I am not afraid of them. But what a hell! We do not have them in Eastern Europe's year 1960 built apartments.
The best things of this hotel is the convenient place (bus stops in fronto of the hotel, beach iš not very dar away). Also, the staff. They were very helpful, their tried to do what they can to help in such a terrible conditions.
The house repaire works done in the room was a total disaster. I have some expierance in that, so I know why I am saying this. You will see this in photos.
The food was not bad, but it was almost everytime the same.
Definately do not recommend this hotel.

Hotel was great! People who were working there were so nice and helpful all the time! Food was tasty and fresh always! Rooms were clear and have so much space and beds were so comfortable. The location was also great especially for young people. It was near to the beach and a lot of shops and also clubs! I can recommend this hotel to everyone! I consider to go there on the next holiday! ☺️

Really nice hotel for an affordable price, the location scores in here, just after exiting the hotel you can feel the city atmosphere, there are many clubs and bars but also some more peaceful places. The food in the hotel was satisfying so as the drinks. Great place for holidays with kids as well and surely helps to rest from the social media world. Highly recommend for this price!
