Mirada Del Mar Hotel - All Inclusive

“I have only one complaint in an otherwise very enjoyable second stray at the Mirada”

We have been to Turkey 7 times and have always enjoyed our stay at the various hotels we have chosen. This was our second time staying at the Mirada Del Mar along with my wife's sister and husband. My wife's sister makes all the arrangements for both her and her husband and ours through her travel agent in St. Petersburg Russia. Hotels, flights, and airport transfers are all paid months in advance. We checked in on the early evening of October 14th. The two young women at the check-in counter asked for our passports and when we presented our United States passports, we were informed that because we were checking in with U.S. Passports and not Russian passports there would be extra charges that needed to be paid. This was supposedly due to currency exchange rates between Russian and United States currency. This did not happen last year when we checked in so we instantly knew something was wrong. Without that prior knowledge, we would have just paid the charges not knowing they were not necessary. My wife pointed out that she has both U.S. and Russian passports but only brought our U.S. passports on this trip. The woman said she needed to produce a Russian Passport or we would have to pay the extra charges. We were fortunate enough to be able to contact her sister's travel agent in St. Petersburg, after work hours, who sent us a digital image of my wife's passport. The women reluctantly accepted this as proof, but said it was only temporary. They said they would check with their supervisors the next morning. We never heard anything else from anyone so we believed everything was fine, and it was. When my wife's sister contacted the travel agent, the agent became quite agitated. She stated that the two women had no good reason to even bring up this matter, that there were no extra charges required, and the women should have known better. She expressed her disappointment with Mirada Del Mar at that moment. This should never have happened. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Mirada. I have very finicky eating habits but I was always able to enjoy a very good meal at each of the 3 mealtimes. At breakfast time I got to know Kahn, I hope that is the correct spelling of his name. He was working at the beverage bar and after the second day, he recognized me and knew that I would be asking for 2 glasses of orange juice which I did 2 times each morning. I had the same results over at the fried egg station. I like scrambled eggs. After ordering them for two days, the gentleman there recognized me and I didn't even have to ask him for the rest of our stay for my 4 scrambled eggs. He just knew. The women at the guest services desk were able to quickly and very pleasantly handle any internet problems we were having on our various devices and were a delight to work with. The hotel staff would always promptly notify everyone about stormy weather and when to stay out of the water. I enjoyed having ice cream which was available for several hours during the day. I loved all the cats that call Mirada Del Mar their home. One of them, during a particularly windy day, crawled up on my lap and fell asleep snuggled up and wrapped up in my beach towel. Everything we needed for a good restful vacation was available at the hotel. We went on two tours this time but spent the rest of our days very happily at the hotel. The Mirada Del Mar is about a 1-mile each way easy walking distance from Goynuk. I made that walk about 7 times in 12 days. Goynuk is where you would go to buy your souvenirs, clothes, groceries, and pretty much whatever else you might need. There were a couple of shop owners who remembered us from previous years and were happy to see us again. Of all the hotels we have stayed in for each of our 7 annual Turkey vacations, we feel that the Mirada is the one we liked the best. The incident at the check-in counter when we arrived did not ruin our vacation in any way. We enjoyed every minute in this wonderful hotel Oasis, and look forward to staying there again next year.

“A lot of content to keep your kids busy”

In short: everything was great, a lot of content for the kids & great animation team. Everything is being cleaned all the time with borderline obsession. Food variety and quality is amazing, everyone were kind to us and we really enjoyed our stay.

“Vacation paradise”

Mirada is a perfect place to spend vacation. Pools, slides, food, and staff are great. Rooms are clean and big. Lots of activity for kids and adults: pool games, darts, archery, air gun, mini disco, kids show (and cinema), evening show. Sea is warm and clean. In the last few years, we spent our va… more
