Reviews
A special thanks to Marziyeh from guest relations, who was extremely helpful and kind, and to Hussein from the animation team, who made our stay fun (though he couldn’t beat us at beach volleyball!).
The only area for improvement would be the bar service. While Muhammad at the beach bar was excellent, some of the other bartenders didn’t quite meet the same standard. There was also a noticeable difference between the presentation of the food and drinks—the desserts were works of art, but the cocktails felt quite basic in comparison.
Overall, though, we were very pleased and truly appreciate the wonderful hospitality!
The hotel is spotless, and the staff were all happy and extremely helpful.
We seemed to be only a handful of English people that were staying there, but it didn't bother us in the slightest. We didn't realise that it was a German owned and run hotel until we got there, but again, this didn't bother us at all. They have about 5 different pools of all different sizes, and they've recently opened some new water slides and splash pad for the kids, which were great fun.
The choice of food was great and the quality was very good. Some places when you're all inclusive have the same foods each day, but it wasn't like that here, there was a great selection of meat and fish and local foods each day as well as food from midday until 3pm where you could get burgers and chips by the pool.
All in all, we had a fantastic stay and wouldn't hesitate to return or recommend.
Pools are clean and there was always sunbeds for us even when we went in the
afternoon.
Location is fine, you are 15 min car drive from Novamall and just under 30min drive from the land of legends.
It mainly caters for German citizens so the staff speak turkish/german and English is limited. I am turkish so we were okay but my other half (not turkish) did have trouble communicating so if I wasn't there it would have been somewhat tricky. But the staff are so lovely and make all the effort!
Generally great hotel to visit, definitely one to reccomend!
Verder is t zwembad goed en het eten ook.
