Just back from family holiday at the orka beach hotel and I can honestly say it was one of the best holidays we have had. The staff can't do enough for you, the food was good, great choice of cocktails and drinks to choose from. We booked the chinese restaurant one night and the food was excellent. The room was big and clean. Big thanks to Taha who was so great with our 8 year old George. He loved getting milkshakes and moktails made for him. Mervie was also so great with the family looking after us all in the lobby bar. The staff treated us like family and there are a few from the restraunt and pool bar we did not get names. Entertainment team were great with activities all day for adults and kids alike. Music at the pool was fantastic so also shout out to the DJ.
Finally a massive thank you to Bilal. He was absolutely brilliant in making sure our holiday was a 5 star experience. Anything our family needed he was able to sort it for us. Nothing was ever a issue. Can't wait to go back with the family.

We had an absolutely wonderful 7-night stay at Orka Lotus Beach Hotel — truly one of the best all-inclusive experiences we’ve ever had.
What impressed us the most was the people. Every single member of staff, from reception to housekeeping, was incredibly kind, warm, and genuinely dedicated to making everything perfect. You can really feel the team spirit here — everyone works so hard, always with a smile, and goes above and beyond to make you feel welcome. It created such a comforting “home away from home” atmosphere for our family.
The hotel itself is spotlessly clean and very well maintained. Housekeeping was consistently excellent, and every space felt fresh and cared for.
The seaside location is simply stunning — waking up to that view every day was something truly special.
Our son Brandon had the most amazing time — he made so many friends during our stay, and what touched us the most was how incredibly kind and caring the staff were towards children. They treated him not just as a guest, but almost like family, which meant a lot to us as parents.
We also had a deep tissue massage at the spa, which was incredibly professional and relaxing — a perfect addition to the holiday experience. Airport transfers and all hotel arrangements were smooth and well organised, making everything completely stress-free.
As a family, we created some truly beautiful memories here.
We are so grateful to the entire team for such a perfect stay.
We will definitely be back 💙

We stayed at this hotel for 4 nights and overall had a mixed experience.
Starting with the food – there was a good variety and the taste was decent. However, the biggest issue was that the food was often cold, despite being kept on a hot buffet plus cats always around which was bit annoying as they jumped on the chair to grab food. Out of our entire stay, we only had warm food a couple of times. There were no live cooking stations or themed buffet nights, and the menu felt quite repetitive. Even at breakfast, the eggs were mostly cold and there was no live omelette counter, which you would normally expect at a hotel of this standard.
Service was a bit confusing at first. Initially, we felt it wasn’t great, but then realised there was no table service – no waiters coming to ask if you needed drinks or anything else. Guests had to go to the bar themselves. Most of the staff were polite and friendly, but for what is advertised as a 5-star hotel, the service could definitely be improved. The dining area was often untidy, and small details like mismatched chairs made the place look a bit messy, which was surprising given some of the areas were quite beautifully maintained.
In terms of the hotel itself, some areas were very well maintained and looked great, while others didn’t quite match that standard.
On the positive side, the heated indoor pool was excellent and a real highlight. The main outdoor pools, however, were always quite busy with kids. If you’re travelling without children, it’s probably better to visit during school term time or consider an adults-only hotel.
We had booked a sea view room, and the view was absolutely stunning – definitely one of the best parts of our stay. The location of the hotel is also very good, and compared to other nearby properties we saw, this one stood out positively. Having a private sandy beach was a big plus too, although we felt it could have been cleaned more regularly.
That said, we have stayed at other 5-star hotels in places like Bodrum and Antalya, and in comparison, those offered better service, facilities, and overall finish. For us, this hotel felt more like a 4-star resort rather than a true 5-star experience.

Would definitely recommend this hotel, i went at the end of march this year. Nice resort, extremely kind and helpful staff, the only issue we had was the food, a few members in my family got ill from the chicken here, mainly the chicken kebab in the bottom floor food area on -3 (dont remember the name) thats open at lunchtimes. Everything was perfect apart from the food. The weather was extremely bad while we were there but it was still enjoyable.
