Reviews
There was plenty of space and things to do, and I really appreciate the staff who went above and beyond to make sure we had a great time.
A special shoutout to Zeynel and Ahsen from Customer Relations, and the chef who prepared separate meals for my wife with a celiac allergy. Ahmet was also very friendly and helpful in the Bar area. And let’s not forget the guy who didn’t get his name in the Hamam and massage area—that was a bit of a funny story!
The food selection was good and changed regularly, and I was impressed by the attention to detail in the meals. Oh, and did I mention the adorable mum and kittens that live near our rooms? They’re well-cared for by the staff, and they’re always a treat to see.
Overall, I highly recommend this place. It’s a great spot for a fun and memorable stay.
Would highly recommend to anyone.
