Reviews
The food was shocking and never changed, was hoping for some Turkish cuisine.
Staff were extremely rude, only found a couple of genuinely nice ones. The main guy behind the bar was absolutely terrible. As soon as they realised you were English, you were ignored! We ended up going out to eat most nights for this reason!
Hotel itself needs renovation as it looks tired and unkept ( apart from main pool area).
When greeted at the hotel we were given no information and just shamed for having a basic room. Our room itself was okay but very basic. The aircon was broken and leaking and only given a single sheet for a double bed, blinds also broken.
Our mini bar wasn’t topped up at all for the whole stay.
Best thing we did for the trip is booked a jeep safari with our hotel rep. (Who was actually really lovely to us and very helpful I think he was called Sedat)
Overall wasn’t good, felt very unfriendly to English guests and definitely no where near a 5 star.
On a positive note the beach area is great , very clean and quite large , you can find sunbeds at any time of the day. Pools are very clean but not enough sunbeds, if you go at the pool after 7am you can’t find any free sunbeds.
Animation team don't get too involved like other hotels and I did think there would be foam parties being a 5 star hotel but its very quiet, there are 3 or 4 aqua slides. You surrounded by other hotels with alot of activities if this is your thing.
