The worst hotel definitely not a 5 star i give it at max 2. The room is not clean smells horrible like a molded cucumber and never goes away. They don’t have a do not disturb label so whatever you do they will enter your room without a permission while you’re away. The curtains fell apart, the sheets are stained and the pillows in blue for decor i guess they never change or wash them and looks so dirty and black-ish, the stuff in the bathroom all empty packs of shower cap and etc. haha , you have a 20 min walk in the woods to reach the hotel if you don’t come with a car . Food is ok but the plates smells fishy. Insects everywhere, no elevator you have to carry all your bags all along the stairs :) hotel smells like vatika hair cream. Lastly they say its sea view but you barely can see it :) A nightmare never again!

Very disappointing stay, especially as I previously stayed here in 2023 and had an excellent experience, which is why I returned.
Unfortunately, this visit was the of the worst hotel experiences I’ve had. My first room had an overwhelming sewage smell so bad it woke me during the night and caused me to vomit. By morning, I also noticed black mould throughout the bathroom and bedroom walls. Despite reporting this at 7am, nobody came to assess the room until the following day, meaning I had to spend another night in those conditions.
I was eventually moved rooms, but within 24 hours the same sewage smell returned. The fridge also did not work, which other guests said was a common issue throughout the hotel.
The spa was closed for my entire 8-day stay due to refurbishment works, yet guests were not informed before arrival or at check-in. There were also exposed wires and broken tiles near the lifts, which felt unsafe.
Housekeeping was extremely poor. My room was not cleaned during the entire stay, I had to reuse towels for almost a week, and when cleaners finally attended on the last day after I complained, rubbish was still left on the floor while my balcony door was left wide open, leaving my room full of insects and my belongings unsecured.
The hotel overall felt neglected and nowhere near five-star standard. Pool areas remained dirty, food quality was repetitive and often cold, and mould appeared to be present in multiple rooms. Staff Laughed in my face when I was visible upset on the last day that my room was not cleaned.
The only positive was the friendly bar staff and beautiful surrounding views.
Sadly, what was once a lovely hotel now appears poorly managed, unhygienic, and in serious need of improvement.
This hotel is extremely UNSAFE, DIRTY and UNHYGIENIC. Staff and rude and unfriendly (expect the bar staff). Do not book this hotel you will honestly end up regretting and ruining your holiday. This hotel should be reassessed as they currently operating like 2 star not a five star hotel. Many other beautiful hotels in the area you can book around oludeniz or hisaronu area which will have similar views.

Good workers at a decent hotel. It was out of season so nothing was open, but staff were welcoming and accommodating. The views from our room were amazing. Ramazan was very friendly and good with his customer service and Gokhan works every shift and is so nice.

Do not book this hotel. It is absolutely filthy and nowhere near a five-star standard.
The pools are not just “closed” or “under maintenance” — they are dirty and unhygienic. I stayed for one week and not once did I see any of the three pools being cleaned. Half of the resort is also closed off due to refurbishment work.
I have stayed in four-star hotels that were far better than this. Nothing here feels luxury. The entire resort feels neglected, untidy, outdated, and poorly maintained.
The rooms are dirty, old, and filthy. Even in the restaurant, you have to inspect every plate before using it because many of them do not look properly cleaned.
The swimming pool does not work properly, the slide does not work, and if you want spa facilities, they send you to another hotel with only one transfer available per day at 10:30 AM.
The hotel is also far up a hill, making it difficult to get anywhere without paying for taxis.
The photos online are extremely misleading compared to reality. This was a very disappointing experience, especially for what is advertised as a five-star family resort. I would strongly advise others to avoid booking here.

Garcia Hotel Review — Honest Detailed Experience, Pros & Cons
I stayed at Garcia Hotel in May 2026.
**Pros:**
- The view is amazing.
- Breakfast is open buffet and I really liked the food, especially the omelet. The lady made it perfectly — try the vegetables with cheese :)
- The breakfast variety changed every day.
- The hotel atmosphere is very calm and relaxing.
- There are multiple swimming pools: a deep pool (1.4 m), a shallow kids pool, and one with slides.
- There is a free daily shuttle from the hotel to the beach (Green Pine Beach), and the sunbeds and umbrellas there are free of charge.
- The hotel is within walking distance of the start of the famous Lycian Way, so you can enjoy a beautiful nature walk in the morning.
-----
**Cons:**
- The hotel is written as 5-star, and I think it probably was when it first opened, but now it feels a bit old and seems to have lacked maintenance for a long time, especially in the bathrooms. For example, the bathroom water tap was moving from its place, some parts of the bathroom floor were broken, and both the bathroom door and room door were hard to open and close.
- There was no indoor pool or spa available when I visited. They said it was under maintenance and mentioned an agreement with another hotel, but I didn’t want to leave the hotel to use these facilities, so I didn’t try it. I think they should at least mention this clearly on their website.
- Housekeeping did not change the bed covers during my stay of 4 nights.
But overall, it was still a very positive experience. Just know these things before visiting so you won’t be disappointed like I was at first. If you ignore these issues, you will probably enjoy your stay :)
**Notes:**
- If you book only breakfast, lunch or dinner costs 1000 TL each (no discount).
- Check the room before taking it. I wanted a calm room, but at first they gave me a room right beside the pool. This may actually be good if you have kids and want to watch them easily. If you want a quieter room, ask for the garden side. The reception staff were understanding and helpful, thanks to them.
- The beach shuttle leaves the hotel at 10:30 AM and returns at 4:00 PM, but ask the reception to confirm the times during your stay.
- There is no direct transportation from the hotel, so if you don't have a car and you want to go somewhere, you either need to walk around 20 minutes to the main road and take a minibus, or order a taxi.
- It is a very big hotel with multiple buildings, so try to learn the paths to your room, the reception, and the restaurant from day one, otherwise you may get lost :)
- In some areas of the hotel, phone coverage is very weak or unavailable.
- The hotel description mentioned that every room has an iron, but I could not find one in my room.
- The cleaning service was good but not perfect. Try to be in the room while they clean, because you may want to ask them to clean some areas better.
Overall, I really liked the experience and I would definitely come again, especially because of the calmness and the beautiful location high up on the hill.
I wrote this detailed review because I personally like reading honest reviews from other people before visiting a place, and I like details :)
