We got put in a room across the pool and down some steps so can’t comment about the main hotel rooms. Our room was big, the bed was really comfortable and the aircon was fab. However the room was shabby, finished poorly and smelled like a drain (we went out and bought air freshener it was so bad) the shower was massive but never got properly warm and the shower head was angled weird so you had to hold it all shower.
The view from the panoramic bar is stunning, but let down by crap drinks (pina coladas are good when they actually have the stuff to make them) the bars are understaffed so make sure you get more than one drink at at a time.
All the staff we came across were pleasant and spoke reasonable English.
On the first day we were pleasantly surprised by the food by the fourth day I literally couldn’t stomach it. The same flavourless stuff every meal time. We ate out half of the nights (and spent a fortune) , incredibly disappointing considering it’s meant to be AI.
The grounds of the hotel are lush and well maintained. The pool is lovely, plenty of sunbeds but be prepared to get up and save one if you want a specific place, no thumping music, if anything we hoped they would play something to add some atmosphere. No entertainment at all, you make your own fun. Town is a two minute taxi ride away which cost 200 lira, beware the hill.
Beach is lovely didn’t use the bar there but was told only soft drinks and coffee.
Overall we had a lovely holiday, made by the people we met, the town and surroundings are great but would never return to the x life hotel.

The hotel itself is located I would say 25 min walk from the nearest beach. The hotel does provide a shuttle service to the beach throughout the day.
The indoor pool was not available.
The staff were really nice and kind though.
All very polite and professional, shout out to Max, the Entertainment guy, he is such an amazing person, ! He talks to everyone, he gives the best tips about what to do around the area, he ensures everyone is having a great time, he is also a very smart person with whom you can discuss literally about anything and he is quite funny.
He made our stay more enjoyable.

With this hotel, you get what you pay for. The public areas of the hotel (lobby etc) are nice, inside the rooms are falling apart a bit. balconies very small. The pool is the best part, very big and there is plenty of seating. I’m not sure the kitchen / bars would pass any form of food safety standards.
There are 2 bars serving drinks, some drinkable wine and basic cocktails. Walk to the beach is ~20 mins but they do have shuttle busses on as well. They have a cordoned off part of the beach for hotel guests. There’s also a strip of shops, bars and restaurants nearby ~15 mins walk.
Great views over the bay from pool bar. Ample seating.
If you want a ‘nicer’ experience don’t book this place, if you’re after an affordable and cheerful quick break away then it does the job. Just be realistic with expectations!

Holiday from Hell – Stay Away!
I booked X Life Hotel in Turkey through Loveholidays, hoping for a relaxing break. Instead, I got the holiday from hell. The hotel was filthy, run-down, and nothing like the glossy photos online. The food was awful, the rooms were dirty, and the staff were rude and unhelpful.
Food was ridiculous , we had to eat out everyday which cost us a fortune.
Loveholidays didn’t care – they clearly never vetted this place. I left feeling stressed, disappointed, and robbed of my hard-earned money. I wouldn’t wish this experience on anyone. Avoid the hotel at all costs.

Initially it is a lovely hotel, the views are incredible. But due to the fact, the food is flavourless and awful, the pool shuts at 7, after 11pm you have to start paying for drinks, the lingering smell of poo by the pool, having to witness managers yell at staff, the fact that you are constantly missing on eating anyway if you don’t wake up crazy o’clock in the morning, i understand they have a schedule but we got in from our flight at quarter to 11 and we were starving but there is no food not snacks or anything, they also just lay out the same things pretty much everyday anyway, finally the wifi is shocking, it doesn’t work in rooms but sometimes in common rooms.
Right but apart from that the pools are lovely, our room had a great view with a balcony, beds were comfortable and showers were nice plus there’s loads of little freebies you get, a 10 minute massage in the first 2 days and a free professional picture.
Also bring your hiking boots or be prepared to pay 4-5 pounds for a taxi every time you want to go to town and back, the road leading to the hotel is windy and STEEP walking down is bearable but going up i have never done something so challenging
