**🏨 Club Julian Hotel Review: Honest Thoughts – "You Get What You Pay For!" 🌴** If you’re looking for a **budget-friendly holiday** with decent food and a lively atmosphere, **Club Julian Hotel** does the job—but don’t expect luxury. Here’s the real deal: **🍽️ Food – Surprisingly Good & Varied!** The **buffet had plenty of choice**, and the quality was better than expected for the price. Fresh salads, grilled meats, pasta, and even some local dishes kept things interesting. No complaints here—we ate well! **🛏️ Rooms – Clean & Functional** The rooms were **basic but spotless**, and housekeeping did a great job. No frills, but comfy enough for a good night’s sleep after a day in the sun. **☀️ Sunbed Wars – Good Luck!** The biggest downside? **Not enough sunbeds** for the number of guests. If you’re not up at dawn to claim a spot, you’ll be lounging on a towel. The pool area gets **packed and noisy**, so if you want peace, head to the beach early. **🎉 Crowd – A Mixed Bag…** This isn’t a quiet, refined resort—it’s **lively, sometimes rowdy**, and you’ll get a few "rough around the edges" guests. That said, we just **kept to ourselves**, and nobody bothered us. If you’re easygoing, it’s fine, but don’t expect a 5-star clientele. **👍 Final Verdict: Worth It for the Price!** For a **cheap & cheerful** break with good food and clean rooms, Club Julian delivers—just **don’t expect luxury**. If you can handle the crowds and the sunbed scramble, you’ll have a fun, no-frills holiday. **3.5/5 – it does what it says on the tin!**

Great wee hotel! Here for a holiday with my partners family and was great! Lovley nightly entertainment for children and adults, plenty of space at the pools with lots of daily activities going on, lots of options at meal times (especially for people who are a bit fussy with food), the rooms were nice and clean with daily cleaning. There's also an onsite supermarket, hairdressers, tattoo shop, and more. All staff were very friendly and happy to help with all questions, always with smiles on their faces. The lovely wakeup calls from the chicken pen across the road from our room was the cherry on the top 😅

Absolutely amazing hotel, central and fab location. The hotel was super clean, the rooms were amazing. The food was outstanding, we couldn't fault any part of the food. Breakfast had an amazing choice, snack bar at lunch time was our favourite as you were spoilt for choice and evening meal was amazing. The pools were fab, busy pools but clean. Entertainment was fab too, Jay and his team were extremely friendly and helpful. The only down fall from us was the showers in the communal area once your leaving , they were disgusting- so advice is to pay extra to keep room on. But overall amazing, definitely recommend from us.

Stayed at the Julian club hotel for 10 nights, 5 adults and 4 children the hotel was brilliant the staff were very friendly and helpful. The all inclusive food was amazing a very good choice for everyone the snack bar was best I’ve had! and the cakes amazing plus a great choice of drinks. I would definitely recommend this hotel and would be certainly returning in the future 10/10 fantastic family holiday.

Julian Club Hotel is very good at what it does but being reasonably priced even into the high season this does necessarily bring in the crowds. Rooms - were clean, maids were lovely and competent. Air-con excellent. My main gripe was replenishing us with just 2 toilet rolls per day for a family of four! With a man of my excretory generosity! Young Children - our two young ones loved the holiday as they spent most of the time in the pool and at the complimentary kids club. Food - was delicious and a better range than we expected for a Turkish hotel below a 5* rating. Entertainment - not my cup of tea. The daytime entertainment had the energy and noise levels of a Club 18-30 holiday. Similarly, screaming "MORNING!" "WAKE UP!" "DON'T BE LAZY!" at holidaymakers simply trying to relax on sunbeds seemed a strange thing to do for a family hotel. Although as mentioned... grateful to have the Kids Club. Location - much like a lot about Julian could be seen from at least two perspectives... Lots of lively bars pretty much outside but in the midday sun it's probably too far to walk to the bazaar/Ataturk statue area especially with two four-year olds. And as for the taxi rank outside - I very much doubt they charge the locals 500 TL from Armutalan to the Bay. Avoid unless stuck. Lots of people have mentioned the sunbeds but we kind of expected that and getting up at 6/7 in the morning is not a problem for us (although some nutters getting up 4/5am did amuse us! Just to boil in the sun?!?). Also we experienced no hostilities on our stay which had been mentioned previously on such forums. Not toward us or anyone else. Would not rule out staying here again but definitely not in June-August as too hot and busy for our tastes.
