“Brilliant”

Amazing hotel! One of the best I’ve been to. Food could have been better but my friends loved it so it depends on what you like.

Amazing hotel! One of the best I’ve been to. Food could have been better but my friends loved it so it depends on what you like. We had a view of the pool and the beach from the balcony and our balcony was one of the 2 biggest ones in the whole hotel so we were very lucky. Most of the other balcony’s aren’t as big but I personally didn’t sit on the balcony so don’t see this as an issue. Request a poole side view if possible as the other view is of a main road and not as nice. The entertainment staff were brilliant, there was pool games every day, lots of things to do! Kids club with outdoor playarea, 3 good slides which were lots of fun and a little kiddy bit too. They did play music by the pool so if you want something more quiet this isn’t the hotel for you. Lots of options for drinks, the staff were friendly. The night entertainment was amazing! Shows everynight from Brazilian show, Turkish show, Ancient Rome. There was dancers, Acrobatics, Kareoke, Bingo and lots more! They had a club open 3 days a week- Tuesday, Thursday & Sunday which was good if you wanted to party for longer this was open till 3am. It did shut early at 1am one night but that was because it wasn’t that busy then. The music is very loud at night and on till about 11:30pm so if you don’t like late nights it will be very hard to have an early one! The beach was nice with a lovely beach bar with food served so you could have that option instead of the main restaurant. It was a stony beach but had some water sports on offer however I do not recommend these and the health regulations are not as good as in the UK and there are a lot of dangers with the Parasailing but banana boats and jet skis are okay. There was a pier in the sea but had no sunbeds on like other hotels next to this one but it was nice to walk on and had lovely views of the sunset! We did struggle to get a sunbed by the pool some days as people would reserve them at 7am eventhough the staff made an announcement not to do so. There wasn’t alot to do around the hotel but a 15 min walk was a market with all the fake designer clothes and it wasn’t too far from Alanya but we didn’t go there. Overall I think this was a brilliant hotel! I would definitely go again.

This hotel has the potential to be amazing. However, although rated 5 star, this is absolutely not 5 star, more like 3. The good bits about it are: lovely reception area with great lobby bar serving great drinks. Room lovely, small but immaculate. Staff are lovely, working very hard to keep everyone happy. Food variety is great, with some great Turkish offerings. Sunset beach bar is amazing, serving traditional doner kebab, pizza and a delightful lady making a wafer thin flatbread with different fillings. A great entertainment team if you want to join in the fun. The downsides of this property are: the other guests. It is a very sad sight to see human beings in an elbow fight over a bowl of cherries. Sun beds are grabbed before sun rise, despite management saying they are not to be reserved. Glasses are allowed on the beach and by the pool which terrifies me with kids around (irresponsible I think). The sunset bar closes for the evening, yet there are not enough tables to sit outside for a drink, so we’re forced to sit inside. Who wants to be inside when the evening temp is around 30 degrees. The final massive letdown and is actually quite depressing is the dining room. It’s like something out of the 70’s with an oppressive mahogany wooden ceiling and furniture to match. I felt like I needed to eat and leave, not a pleasant environment at all and no non smoking outside dining options which I think is a big shame. There is the panorama restaurant, which is open sided, but smoking is allowed. People are allowed to smoke on the beach in the non smoking zone. Overall, people are doing just what they want and they are not respecting rules. The hotel should enforce them, then everyone would have a good time. Finally, just to reinforce why this is not 5 star, there is no supply of shower toiletries and you have to pay to change your beach towel! Never experienced this before.

Wouldn't say this us 5 star more a 3-4, The location is very isolated from the city which wasn't good for us and took 1 hour to go there. The rooms are very very tight/cramped/small where moving around the room isnt ideal eg no where to put your suitcasesand they didn't fit in the wardobes as the wardobes weere not wide enough., The Aircon was really poor. To use your own room safe you had to pay a extra deposit which was surprising, the Balcony was tiny and as the hotel was on a side view you werent faving the sea. The shower kept flooding the Bathroom daily as the pipe system was poor and we had the maintenance come to sort out 3/4 in the week but still unsuccessful, they unfortunately didn't offer us another room. The Balcony sliding doors were not well sealed so you could hear outside very easily which was hard to sleep as well as the curtains to short so the sunlight would come from the sides, I did ask reception if they could do anything which they laughed sarcastic , unfortunately I did want a good night's sleep on holiday but with the light and sound coning through wasn't helpful where i didn't get s single nights with. Some of the plug sockets didn't also work in which was a headache. The room bathrobe, slippers, and The mini bar daily top up was a nice touch which is the only thing I can say in the room. Breakfast was average as well as lunch but Dinner at night was always brilliant. The house keeping staff , Restaurant staff, Bar staff were amazing. The hotel did have a nice area from the entrance to the pool and beach and nice with the private beach bur they only had one adult pool which was tiny for the amount of guest as well the aqua park area wasn't really big. The hotel shops were okay but very very pricey.

The most average hotel nothing too bad but nothing that stands out. I would not say this is a 5 star hotel more like a 3. (would not recommend for english tourists) Pros- Entertainment staff are great. Entertainment in the evening is good. Snack bar is good. Waffles and ice cream during the day. Fresh omelettes. Stocked mini fridge. Cons- Impossible to sleep before 11:30pm music is so loud. Not enough sunbeds around the pool, they were all reserved before 8am everyday, only sunbeds left are ones on the beach with no shade. Barely any equipment in the gym. Having glasses around the pool least 2/3 smashed everyday. Housekeeping was not the best. ( was poo in the hallway) Not good selection of food at the buffet. Pool randomly closed for emergency cleaning with no explanation?? The bellman refused to leave our room until we tipped him, as females this was extremely uncomfortable. Having to pay 1 euro for fresh pool towels is ridiculous for a 5 star hotel.
