Reviews
The buffet is one of the best i had. Great food and variation.
Strongly recommend.
Cons: staff needs to learn more english, room sound proofing can be better, but that s the only things i could think of.
The hotel is beautiful and very well maintained. The location is just perfect with a wonderful white sand beach, the service is very good and the food close to perfect! In general buffets are always average but not in this hotel. The thermal pool in the spa is very unique and the employees at the kids club are kind and really professional.
We will come back!
Ege’s Mom.
Our experience at the Ilica Hotel was nothing short of amazing! From the moment we arrived, the staff’s kindness and professionalism made us feel truly welcome. The service team, especially at the restaurant and bars, went above and beyond with their friendly and attentive approach, ensuring every moment was enjoyable.
We were there for a Honda Goldwing Treffen, and the hotel’s service team played a huge role in making our event unforgettable. Their dedication and support turned our gathering into a collection of cherished memories. The facilities were outstanding, with a beautiful beach that added a perfect touch to our stay.
A huge thank you to the Ilica Hotel for their excellent staff and top-notch amenities. We can’t wait to return!
Botk breakfast and dinner at the buffet were superb! They offer over 100 different kinds of dishes, which got me very excited! You would not be disappointed with the food here. And the staff were so helpful.
I had the best vacation of my life here, and I can see myself coming back here again.
But the rooms are as dark as a cave. Worst room lighting i have seen in any hotel. Bathroom light shines on the back of your head rather than your face. Not enought light to see what is in the closet. A unsolved mystery for an otherwise excellet hotel.
