“Great time with our kids”

There seem to be a lot of reviews here moaning and not being fair to the staff or the food.

There seem to be a lot of reviews here moaning and not being fair to the staff or the food. As a fussy eater myself I found different things to eat every night, my kids eat anything and they loved it so many choices for them. In a world banging on about sustainability how could they change the food every night but there is a different selection available by the grill area every night ( themed) Yes most staff speak Russian but make every effort with you never got my order wrong. Ok not every cocktail was made like at home but it’s fun to try new concoctions. If people bothered to speak to locals in the town and the staff they would understand as a whole this area has not advertised to brits as it’s always been full with Russians, polish and Ukrainians ( I’m sure I don’t need to explain why that has now changed) The grounds, the pools were immaculate not even a leaf in any of the pools. The rooms are big and spacious the royal family rooms are a perfect 2 bedroom 2 bathroom for a family of 4. All in all we have had a fantastic time with our 2 kids 13 and 9 and would recommend this hotel and would happily return.

“Not a 5* resort and not aimed for the British clientele”

Unfortunately I have to agree with some of the reviews on here. We stayed for 10 nights and had a room in the Lake House block.

Unfortunately I have to agree with some of the reviews on here. We stayed for 10 nights and had a room in the Lake House block. We arrived around 1am at the hotel and was promised welcome drinks by Jet2 but there was nothing. There was a man behind reception who took our passports to check us in. He was very rude and could not communicate very well. He didn’t give us any information about meal times or where our room was or anything. Just told us to wait outside with our cases. We didn’t know what was going on but then was taken to our room on a buggy. The food is very hit and miss I would say. We really liked the BBQ Turkish food in the main restaurant but the food is the same every day and the hotel claim to have ‘seafood night’ or ‘international night’ but really it’s just the same. Breakfast is an absolute shambles. Loads of empty tables but none of them clean enough or set up with cutlery so we spent ages finding a table then we had to find a high chair and chase someone down to clean it so it was to a decent level of hygiene for my toddler to sit in. I ended up cleaning it myself most mornings. We found the main restaurant very stressful. Couldn’t even get a coffee some mornings due to queues or the machines being were broken. We went to the Anchor fish restaurant a couple of times (this wasn’t inclusive and cost 30 euros a head) and that was nice food and meant we could sit down as a family and have a stress free dinner. The Asian Dragon restaurant wasn’t worth the money (that’s another restaurant you have to pay for). There are a lot of negatives to our stay unfortunately like the hotel running out of wine, can never have clean feet because the floors are filthy and only a few staff speak English. This hotel is really aimed at a Russian clientele. I even had one bar man be racist to me because I wasn’t Russian which really was unacceptable. If you are a British person looking at this, I would reconsider as it’s a long way to go and a lot of money for what it is. Some positives are the rooms are a good size, the gardens are immaculate and very pretty and our maid would bring clippings of jasmine and beautiful flowers which was lovely. We had amazing weather and there are lots of pools so never a fight for sunbeds and there is always a bar and toilets by every pool which is good. The chill bar is a really nice spot as it over looks the sea. We really liked the water park as there was a splash park for my baby and some good slides but I would urge you NOT to go down the fast water shoot slide as our friend went down and cut his head when he got to the bottom. He was encouraged by the life guard at the top of the slide to go down head first. Thank god he didn’t!! He required medical attention so this slide should be closed. We do have to give a mention to Mustafa. He first served us in the Lake House bar and helped my husband up to our room with some Turkish coffee when he had his hands full. He also served us in the Lobby Bar and in the Chill Bar and would always help to with getting milk for our toddler when we needed it. His service was brilliant and it was so nice to be understood for a change and really appreciated.
