Hotel Palmera Resort in Ayvalik

First, we stayed in a family room with bunk beds overlooking the sea. I seriously searched for the bathroom in the room. I was shocked when I saw it. They'd installed a shower head inside the toilet. There's supposed to be a toilet in the bathroom, but this one actually became a bathroom in the toilet. You have to shower right next to the toilet; there's no cabin or anything. It's impossible to turn around. It's so small that I felt sick and was terrified it was time for a bath. The shower doesn't even work; it only drains from one spot, and you have to make an effort to get your head in there. The trash can next to the toilet is so moldy it's invisible. It was disgusting, like a cesspool. The rooms are supposedly cleaned every other day, but the cleaning is so mediocre; the rooms are generally dirty and very old. The towels aren't changed daily; I had to have the cleaning ladies change them the second day. We're a couple who travel a lot and have stayed in many hotels. We're not perfectionists, so we value price and performance, so we have expectations accordingly. Yes, the price was reasonable, but I've never seen such awful toilets and bathrooms, and they're terrible in terms of hygiene. We chose half-board and didn't regret it at all. Breakfast and dinner were quite filling and delicious. Of course, it doesn't have a ton of variety like a 5-star hotel, but it was tasty and sufficient for us. The appetizers were fresh and varied, and I can't fault them enough.

The pool is small, but it was a great place for our two children to enjoy their time. It was more than adequate for us, but we never saw it being cleaned. The cleanliness isn't reliable.

And the best part is its location to the sea is great, but the entrance to the sea gets dirty and gets cleaner as it progresses. The yogurt buckets and garbage cans between the sun loungers were ridiculous. It made me wonder, "What era are we in?" It needs some updating and attention.

I've listed all the pros and cons because I, too, look at the reviews and prioritize choosing.

We stayed for 5 days, the food was mediocre, breakfast was very simple, no bagels, no omelettes, no omelettes, same things every day, dinner, tasteless, unsalted appetizers, the same bread every day, stale appetizers, breads, I think, they are served again the next day, I don't think it was fresh, dinner was always chicken, there were 2 kinds of soup, soups were like water, and the food was tasteless. generally. In addition, there are always drunk people around and unmarried couples check in. It is not a hotel to be preferred with the family. The hotel attendant is drunk. When they are hungry in the evening, they neither make a toast nor give a drink. They say that the kitchen is locked. . I can only recommend you to stay in a room alone. There is no shower cabin. Everything gets wet when you take a shower. I was not satisfied. My family was not satisfied. It did not suit a 3-star hotel.
