Hands down one of the best hotel experiences we have ever had as a family. Our baby (1,5 y) got the sweetest kind of attention and care at the Kidsclub. The rooms are clean and the staff everywhere is incredible
It was another amazing and unforgettable holiday in Maxx Royal Kemer. Rooms, restaurants, pools and other points were as usually perfectly good. Very special thanks to the General Manager of the Hotel to Mr
Senol for his great hospitality. We’d love to thank to another amazing person to our Assistant Mr. Jackelin who’s been our assistant for many years in all our stays in Maxx Royal Hotels
Loved this property so much and it has so many things to offer, they have a small water park ride and a crazy gaming zone too 🤯
Everything is so good about this property 🙌🏼🤌🏼
He definitely knows all our needs and is very helpful and friendly. Thanks to the rest of the staff who made our holiday unforgettable. Looking forward to visiting the hotel next year
Especially our assistant Ebru Tazefidan made our stay even more special. She made it feel like we were staying at a family home, really warm and cozy
It may be because we went at the end of season but the 1st show we saw was a Turkish dance show called glamour, who were absolutely brilliant! but the others less impressive, a magic show which seemed to consist of mostly blowing glitter around the stage and an acrobatic troupe who were an accident waiting to happen as they kept dropping each other 🙈😆 it could be absolutely great but missed the mark...
We had an unforgettable stay at Crystal Waterworld Resort & Spa!
Everything was perfectly organized for our daughter’s 10th birthday — helium silver balloons with number 10, a delicious chocolate cake, fresh fruits, beautifully folded towel swans, and even a bottle of wine for the parents
50am in the strangest system I've ever known for the booking of a restaurant to be told they were actually taking bookings for 2 days after 🤷♂️ the only reason we wanted to use the a la carte booking was the difficulty of getting a drink with your meal in the buffet restaurant, which is another strange system
You can use the self service tea and juice facilities and the plentiful water fridges but for anything else you can't go to the bar who have these drinks, a server must go for you, but there doesn't seem to be any? haha! we didn't see one in the week we ate there every evening anyway and tried to go a little after the mad rush of around 6-7pm
Only 1 a la carte restaurant open per night of the 4, and all are closed on a Wednesday. we were told to book on the day of wanting your table, as per the restaurant and their own signs, but these rules change
The other gripe is things work very loosely on times given 😆 if a bar, restaurant or water slide says one time, expect them to be packed up at least half an hour before that time
Accommodation and Amenities-
The hotel overall is nice, offering spacious rooms (including our own balcony). The location is perfect, situated right on the beach, and the property features three large pools
For relaxation and activity, the hotel also provides a spa, disco, shop, and hairdresser. Food and Dining (A Major Highlight)
There is plenty of variety to cater to any dietary requirements
Crucially, food is available 24 hours a day. We arrived late and were extremely grateful to find a full offering of chips, pizza, and burgers available—a lifesaver after a long journey
Was given a room in the main building with sea view, freshly renovated, fresh, bright furniture. The food, well, fish, meat, every day. And the location is the only big advantage of this hotel, on the seafront
Hotel looks a little bit tired and average evening entertainment, though neither significantly impacted our enjoyment. We enjoyed an October half-term holiday here
Fortunately, there is a cash machine located just outside the hotel premises. Sightseeing Tip:
If you plan to visit the beautiful Side old town, local buses are easily accessible
Room - booked the kids suite room, excellent and clean no issues and worked perfectly with two young children who need space from their parents! Lovely view of the sea, was a small premium on the standard double room but definitely worth it
Perhaps because it wasn't the peak season, the lunch buffet was quite mediocre. But what they had was delicious, thank you.
Another Excellent Stay
This was our sixth visit to the hotel, and as always, it was a truly pleasant experience. We were very satisfied with our Star Swim-Up Villa, which offered both comfort and privacy
What we really appreciated is how kids-friendly the hotel is – from kids-sized toilets to stairs and other facilities designed for children’s comfort. Overall, this is a fantastic resort for families
A special mention goes to the housekeeping lady, who maintained our room to a high standard throughout our stay. We would like to thank the entire team for their excellent service and hospitality
We had a wonderful holiday at this resort! The hotel is especially suitable for families with kids – there are plenty of activities for children of all ages, as well as for adults
Melissa was also fantastic friendly, professional, and always happy to help. The hotel itself is beautiful, immaculately maintained, and the private beach is stunning, relaxing, and perfectly set up for a day in the sun
Alena in the Mini Club was absolutely brilliant, she also organised a wonderful birthday event for our son, which made his day so special and memorable
We stayed here at the end of May (sorry for the late review) for a week and we had the best time. The pool facilities were excellent and great for the kids
We had a nice stay at Miracle Resort Hotel & Spa. The all-inclusive package was excellent, with great food, drinks, and service throughout our stay
A special mention goes to Metin from room service, who provided truly fantastic service and always went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect and our room was decorated for my son’s birthday
Meals served in restaurants are a real treat for the palate - the variety, freshness and authentic taste of Turkish and international dishes stand at an outstanding level

The people managing the hotel also deserve a big thank you – they are very attentive, kind, and clearly care about their guests and their team. You can feel the good atmosphere in every corner of the hotel
Food was amazing, so much choice, always something different. Had to be something there for everyone. Pools were clean, not over crowded and top class lifeguards were on top of their jobs always
Staff around the pools making sure no food, drinks left around. The beach was clean and lots of sun beds available. Loved seeing the cats and petting them. Looked cared for despite being so petite
The only small thing I would suggest is to improve the room cleaning – it could be done a bit better. Overall, we had a wonderful stay, and we are very thankful to all the amazing staff in the Select area
The gardeners were working daily keeping the paths clean and tidy in so much heat, too. My first holiday for nigh on 20yrs and thoroughly enjoyed my stay with family
We particularly enjoyed the water park and beach. The main negative was the standard rooms are pretty basic, and when arrived at 1am, there was a bed missing from the room, this was the same for 6 other families
Great relaxing chill out tunes at bars in evening with soft comfortable seating and nice lighting and vibe
The rooms were spacious, comfortable and cleaned every day. The gardens and grounds are absolutely stunning and are an absolute credit to the Hotel and all the staff who work so hard everyday to keep them pristine
There was a large selection of different cocktails which we thoroughly enjoyed. The pools were a little chilly but once you were in soon got used to it , the sea was still lovely and warm
Favourites for us was watching the sun rise up at sunrise bar with a coffee , dining at moonlight under the lights, lykia terrace for breakfast and lunch , Turkish coffee from the agora bar , cocktails at sunrise and sunset were amazing
There were lots of fun activities to do all through the day. We paticularly enjoyed the darts, aqua gym, boccia and archery run by friendly fun staff and also enjoyed the slides ,kayaks and paddle boards
Most beautiful setting I’ve been to ( I’ve done turkey numerous times , Mexico , Dominican , Greece , canaries etc ) The location really is outstanding. Views from every bar , restaurant , pools, terrace
The housekeeping services were top-notch, with the rooms and facilities always spotless and well-maintained. The food at the hotel was delicious and diverse, offering a wide range of tasty meals to suit all palates
We came here for honeymoon, it's simply an amazing place. The beach is clean and nice, the food was surprisingly nice, I didn't expect it to be this great, they offer a huge variety of meals, snacks, sweets and drinks
Check-in and check-out were flawless, and the staff were responsive and friendly, always attentive to our needs. The room was small but adequate
We visited during peak season in July, and while this did impact the service level—orders and requests took longer than usual—it was never to an uncomfortable extent
The activities and events they organized were fantastic, providing entertaining shows and games that kept us laughing and thoroughly entertained
The staff are very respectful and friendly, they also told us how they enjoy working there as the owners are respectful and nice
We've been at the Crystal Hotel for seven days now. The beach was clean, the room was cozy, and the food was excellent. We'd like to thank the entertainment staff for the show. All the activities were a hit
Lovely hotel, entertainment staff were amazing and so fun!! A Great laugh! Nice food and a great place for kids so much to do will definitely be back!! Highly recommend
night shows: the shows are good most of the time
kids area: this hotel is a kid hotel. lots of places for kids
sea: not good. the place you get in water is ful of stones and gets deeper quickly
We especially loved the girls from Kazakhstan, Laura and Nazigul. They're sociable and creative. I'd like to thank all the staff for their friendliness, creativity, and professionalism
However very interestingly they handle it so well. just some places and restaurant can be crowded at peak times. some details:
food: the food is not amazing, some bars are good but it is 7 out of 10
The staffs are so helpful and kind. The food was amazing and well seasoned. My family and I had such an amazing time. The Spa was absolutely the best!!! This was the highlight of my time there
Also to Yusef, the guest relations offer who has made sure we are 100% happy during our stay and always greets us with a smile. I will definitely be returning to Trendy Lara in future ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Also the facilities are brilliant. Everything has been perfect so far! Special thanks to Burgu and Shamus, the best bartenders we've ever had and a real asset to the hotel
Great choice of good food,room big,comfortable and clean. In a quieter area on the outskirts of Lara area,nowhere to walk outside as it’s a main road,no shops etc
You got to be there early morning to get one. Pools are tidy and well maintained. There are activities everyday such as pool party, water games, archery, air gun etc
That was the second visit to the resort in 1 year. Everything was perfect, food, staff, room, and facilities.
For sure, again next year.
We are currently staying at the Trendy Lara hotel. The hotel & grounds are kept immaculate, the staff are freindly and attentive and cant do enough for you, the food is delicious and so are the cocktails
Some people complain that they couldn’t communicate with the staff because most of them speak German, but we are from Bosnia and had no issues communicating with them in English. All our recommendations for the hotel
The main dinner buffet officially ran 6:30–9pm, but staff began removing food around 8:30–8:45pm, which caused a rush. On two occasions the lights were switched off while we were still eating at 9:15pm
The bars were just okay; the one between the two main pools often smelled unpleasant (like old beer or stagnant water), and the coffee and juice machines didn’t appear well cleaned or maintained
Our room faced a building site, so we were disturbed by drilling and dust during the day. The smell of chicken waste was also strong near our block, and the cockerels crowed both day and night
It felt lifeless and unwelcoming, and staff generally seemed disinterested or abrupt. In the restaurants, plates were often cleared before we’d finished eating, and meal times were chaotic
The Turkish bath / hammam massage is highly recommended. There’s also an indoor pool, a small shopping area, bowling alley, nightclub, outdoor cinema for kids, and even an archery space

Food & service were excellent! Warm thanks to the pleasant workers who made my stay awesome! Fatih & Ugor are kind and generous receptionists! I enjoyed a luxurious welcoming! Tuana & Chaimae offered amazing guest experience and are great,smiling speakers!
Servin Deniz smiled gracefully and worked as hard as a bee!
The animation team endorses beautiful people with spectacular personalities!
My respect...
We loved this hotel, and the people who ran it. We booked through TUI and flew Sunexpress for the new year period 2024-25. The room and hotel was kept extreemly clean. The food was of a very good quality and quite varied
Our preference for the music after midnight would have been anything but the house/techno they played but maybe that's just us. The only real disappointment was the Italian a la cart restaurant
Could not fault the hotel what so ever, beautiful grounds, welcoming staff and fantastic food. Will definitely go back.
This is a magnificent resort of high standards! Despite the winter season, activities are countless
I am not sure if I should say the hotel photographer, especially the person who looks like a horsefly verbally harasses people. He tells people absurd things like when to come, when to leave, I need to take a photo
Amazing hotel with huge area and plentiful atmosphere. Different activities, pools, shops are available inside. Anyone can have food all the day. Picturesque gardens and views of Mediterranean sea
We’ve booked two rooms in this resort for two families: 2 adults and 1 adult + 2 children. Our staying was really amazing: hospitality at the reception, cozy and nice new rooms with fantastic garden view from the balcony
The room itself was impeccably clean, comfortable, and well-appointed with all the necessary amenities. Furthermore, the breakfast buffet offered a delicious and diverse selection of food
Very nice hotel, great room service, the food was amazing and fresh, enjoyable pool bars, i will come again. The entertainment team were friendly and cooperative, specially Deniz
Staying at this hotel was an absolute delight from start to finish. The staff was incredibly friendly and always ready to assist with any request
Food was various and well-cooked: every time there were lots of meat, poultry and fish, cheese, vegetables, fruits, bakery
Although the check-in time was at 14:00, the receptionists were very helpful and allowed us to check in much earlier since we had a small child. The food was tasty, the beach was big, and the hamburgers were delicious
Excellent hotel! Very Clean, modern design, excellent food, very good animation team, nice rooms and very clean - thanks to the ladies taking care of the rooms! everything is perfect!!! The staff is very kind, the pools are clean,beach is in front of the hotel, nice garden! Paradise for everybody - kids, couples, 50+, Perfect! We will come again for sure!
What a lovely hotel, you could not want for more, entertainment facilities were fab, all the staff were friendly and lovely and the food was amazing all of it the grill was the best,
Excellent facilities and access to the beach! Food is so good and rooms are nice and clean separate adults on side of hotel too with outdoor pool. Will be coming back again for sure for a 4th time
I can not fault this hotel at all, I would definitely say it was up there with the best hotels, I’ve been to. The staff work so hard, the reception staff were all very friendly
We stayed here at the beginning of August in a standard family room. The view was great, and our room was cleaned every day. The waiters were very kind and polite

The rooms were luxurious and had an amazing bathroom, with a large balcony. The amenities and activities were good. The food was top class and had a lot of variety, from seafood to late night snacks
The hotel is right by the sea, with a private beach and clear, warm water – perfect for swimming and relaxing. Offers all meals, snacks, drinks, and even some cocktails – great value for the price
A very good hotel, it is aesthetic and looks good, the food is good and diverse, the cocktails are also good, the staff is very friendly and pleasant, many interesting activities you don't get bored at all, but most importantly the beach is beautiful and clean
The hotel is well maintained and looked after. All the staff work hard to please the guests and make their stay a holiday to remember A special thank you to Mr Isik for his kindness and generosity
We spent most of our time at the pool bar and Betul was a fantastic bartender and was great at her job. The lobby bar was also a great spot for spending the evenings with freshly ground coffee
I have visited various hotels in Turkey but they get better every time. We are family of 4 and booked the quad deluxe villa, which came with two rooms
Harika bir deneyimdi, off-sezon olmasına tağmen otel olanakları harika bir şekilde sunulmuştu. Servisinden ve lezzetlerinden çok memnun kaldık. Bunlar dışında temizlik spa ve genel alan hizmetleri oldukça iyiydi
Tek şikayet bu kadar elit bir otelin açık büfe rest. Kalitesi daha iyi olmalı ve içki barındaki premium içkiler özellikle viski rafı çeşitlendirilmeli
During our stay, we noticed that the service in the buffet restaurant could have been more attentive. On one evening, the waiters passed by our table several times without offering drinks or asking if we needed anything
A luxurious hotel with varied food options 24/7
We recently stayed at Rixos Premium Belek and overall the hotel was truly beautiful. The resort itself was impressive — the architecture, landscaping, and overall atmosphere were stunning
Before our arrival, our confirmed reservation was attempted to be cancelled twice due to what was described as a “local market / nationality agreement
The animation team, led by Murad (he’s a real rock star!), made everyone feel welcome and included. During the day, the atmosphere is calm and peaceful, which creates a perfect balance between relaxation and fun
On top of that, there are a la carte restaurants and a few snack bars around the resort, which makes it easy to grab something tasty anytime during the day
Evenings were always full of energy, the animation shows were genuinely entertaining, and after that, there was live music or a DJ performance every night
The food was another highlight, every meal (breakfast, lunch, and dinner) offered a great variety and everything tasted fresh and delicious
All the bar staff were consistently polite, helpful and professional. Drinks were always available, and I really appreciated being able to get a nice coffee or tea whenever I wanted
Some servers in the eating areas were sometimes rude as well. They don’t know how to interact with visitors. Facilities: I think the facilities are a little outdated
I really enjoyed my stay at this hotel, especially the animation team — it was always fun, and the evening shows were amazing!
We stayed at Asteria Collection Side in mid October. There are a lot of pros and cons with this hotel. Good
Friendly staff, available 24 hours, and a good level of communication in English
6/10
Can't recommend it for holidays in August as 1) it is too crowded: crowds in restaurants and on the beach (sometimes it's even difficult to enter the sea); 2) the music in the hotel is too loud and plays all day long with short breaks until midnight (we had a room with a sea view, others might be better)
From the moment I arrived, I felt special thanks to the warm welcome from the staff. The receptionist, with a smile, showed me all the hotel amenities and recommended several local attractions
A large selection of food is available, however if you want meat you will have to go away from the regular buffet area and get it from outside
Kivanc we play dart and i really like it here and we dance near the pool through out the day.

They had empty plant pots beside each sunbed so people could put there cigarette ash and rubbish but they seemed to just attract more flies! Beach was fun the sea was warmer than the pool! Overall not the best atmosphere for a couple of colour as the hotel is mainly Eastern European, me and my partner often got rude looks and sometimes looked at like a lion in the middle of the city so be prepared
This was difficult at times as a lot of staff did not understand English so could not tell us what each dish was! Food was jus horrendous, cold chips and dry fish everyday Staff- A big shoutout to the two entertainment girls Zeynep and Suheyla, you guys made our trip amazing and was the reason we didn’t change hotels! You’re the best!! However 90% of staff do not speak English so it was difficult to...
The food was horrible and mainly catered towards Eastern Europeans, unfortunately couldn’t find any Turkish cuisine which was odd considering we’re in turkey! If you have an allergy then good luck as absolutely nothing was labelled and you had to ask staff what things were
I asked the manager if it is usually this cold and he said yes, a big let down considering how big the pool is! The sunbed area was very filthy, you could not lie down for 3 minutes without a fly landing on you
Pool - pools were big and sunbeds where plenty but the pool was unbearable cold that no one was in them
