“Amazing. Recommend”

Oh what a amazing place. Location on nice beach. Food amazing. Surprisingly also food in snack bar was perfect. Especially typical turkish snacks - pide, etc. Great pool by coctail bar but infinity pool in superior room is great upgrade. Really recommend

“Absolutely amazing!!!!! Highly recommend!!”

On arrival the receptionist was waiting outside for us and took our luggage to the check in. We should have arrived around 1am but due the plane being delayed we only arrived at 5:30am.

On arrival the receptionist was waiting outside for us and took our luggage to the check in. We should have arrived around 1am but due the plane being delayed we only arrived at 5:30am. He said breakfast starts at 7:30am but if you are hungry we can get some food for you if you like. Which was very nice, but we wasn’t hungry we just needed sleep. Once checked in he wheeled our cases and took us to our room. The room was lovely!! Flat screen tv, the bed and pillows was very comfortable, mini bar, lots of storage and nice big mirror. In the bathroom there is a big walk in shower and there is also a handheld shower too, there was little bottles of shampoo, conditioner and body washes. Around the sink area there is a nice big mirror, there was also little packets of soap, earbuds and face pads. Under the sink was towels, beach towels and slippers. There was plenty of storage around and under the sink. The lighting was very good for doing make up too. We was on the ground floor so instead of a balcony we had a patio with a big sliding door and our own little garden, which we loved. The whole room was spotless aswell has the whole hotel. Each day our room would be cleaned and given fresh towels. The pool and pool bar was about a 10 second walk from our room and around 30 seconds to the beach. Around the pool there was plenty of individual sun loungers and a few beds. There is also toilets near the bar and restaurant instead of going to your room, they had automatic doors and flush, again they was immaculate. On the other side of the pool bar is where they have the entertainment at night with lots of seating. They have a good variation of food at meal times and you also have the option to sit inside or out looking over the beach. There is a snack bar that does cakes, hot and cold drinks. A lobby bar in the reception. And there is another restaurant that does Italian and sea food. And lady makes pastries outside. We went in the spa we chose the vip package, which included the sauna, a Turkish massage ( it was so good I fell asleep), we then lay on a bed and they covered us up with a blanket and gave us a glass of water. Then we had a hot stone massage and facial and it cost 2000 lira and it was from 6pm - 8pm. There is also a hairdressers, doctor, jewellery shop, watch shop, clothes shop and a shop that sell snacks, floats, snorkels, toiletries ect. The beach loads of sun loungers and have little ceramic plant pots next to them for rubbish, around every 15 mins one of the staff comes with a bag to put all the rubbish in, it feels very safe to leave your stuff while you go into the sea. There is also security walking around our part of the beach to make sure no public come on. They also keep the grass and flowers around the hotel very maintained. At night when everything is closed they wash all the paths down so everything is clean for the morning. The markets are just across the road there’s two ways of getting there. Outside of the hotel there is a bridge or the subway which would be better for prams. We went during the day and at night and we felt very safe. It’s very well lit at night and police sit on the street. There is different bars and restaurants. Everything closes at 00:00am so you have plenty time. All of the staff at the hotel was so friendly. It felt very safe during the day and night and it was very well lit too. We checked out at 12pm and we left our cases in the reception. There is a room with a shower in and changing cubicles you can use before you leave for the airport. I highly recommend the hotel to anyone. I didn’t want to leave. I can’t wait to go back.

“Could’ve been a better experience 🥲”

I want to start by saying that this is a lovely hotel, kept nice and clean and felt modern enough. However we found our hotel room floor was rather dirty when we first arrived.

I want to start by saying that this is a lovely hotel, kept nice and clean and felt modern enough. However we found our hotel room floor was rather dirty when we first arrived. My girlfriend and I were fairly disappointed after our first day as we didn’t have the best nights sleep after a long day of travelling (also 2 hours from Antalya airport), this is due to the hotel being situated on a main road, and we found that we could hear a lot of road noise, depending on which side of the hotel you are on. The breakfast, lunch and dinner are okay. They aren’t anything special, we both got a bit sick of the food towards the end of the week as there isn’t much variety. My girlfriend started to feel very sick towards the end of the week and she is adamant that this is because of the quality of food, although this isn’t 100% confirmed. We also found that the service wasn’t great. We would sometimes get asked what drinks we wanted, sometimes we wouldn’t get offered a drink at all and would have to get out own, which is no problem, but when others are getting served are we aren’t we felt a bit disappointed. Not to mention that there is a shortage of knives and forks!! We would have to ask for these if we decided to go for a meal an hour after it started. The main point of the hotel. The majority of the guests that stay here are German. This is no issue at all if you can speak German, but we found that communication with people in the hotel was difficult as we are English. Not to mention the staff will automatically think you are German and talk to you in a language you don’t know, without asking where you are from. Despite all of this, we found that the beach, sea and pool are amazing. This is where we spent the majority of our time in the hotel. The pool is lovely and clean, cold, but nice to cool off in. There are sunbeds in the water to lay on which is nice. The beach too is nicely kept and there was zero rubbish laying about. However, if you want to be by the pool, you need to get up early to reserve a sunbed as there aren’t many of them at all, we found ourselves having to go onto the beach for most of the days as there were no more loungers left by the pool. We booked out holiday through Jet2, there are no representatives that make hotel visits so bare that in mind when booking. There also isn’t anyone here to help with booking excursions, we had to go to the shops across the road to do this, (Iceman Tours). Would I return to Yalihan Aspendos? Definitely not. It was a nice getaway for a week but would definitely reconsider my options if I was to return back to Antalya, Turkey.
