Not sure when it was last checked, but its no longer a 4 star hotel. The building and pool are etc are beautiful. However, it feels and looks like it hasn't been maintained for a while. I can 100% envision it was a lovely 4* hotel maybe pre-covid, but standards have clearly dropped. Rooms were dated but mostly clean. Salt water showers were a new thing to me - cant say I liked them. Salt water pool was FREEZING cold - some loved it, some not so much! The all inclusive buffet wasn't too bad, but again, not 4* standard. Having said that, I enjoyed pretty much every meal I had. The BBQ night was delicious and good entertainment. The view from the outdoor bar is beautiful - a great place for a few drinks day or night. I know it sounds like I am knocking it for the most part, but I would stay again for the price I paid... was very reasonable. I just disagree with the 4* rating. If you can get past that, and get a good deal, I think you could like it

I absolutely loved the spa service at this hotel! I had a hammam and a massage, and it was truly next level — you can really feel the difference.
I especially want to mention the massage therapist, Charlie — he is incredibly talented. He doesn’t just give a massage, he really understands the body, knows exactly where there is tension and how to work on it properly. It honestly feels like he has a deep knowledge of human physiology and rehabilitation. He truly has golden hands!!
The overall atmosphere is also amazing — calm, unhurried, and very relaxing. And the tea before and after is such a nice touch, it makes you feel cared for and completely at ease.
If you’re looking not just for a typical spa visit, but for a high-quality experience — I highly recommend it!

Only visited the Spa center and was hosted by Şinasi/Charlie. He gave a very warm welcome and explained the service patiently.
The whole experience was very professional and upto expectations, 10/10 recommended for anyone in the area.
The whole package included Aroma massage, face mask, sauna, peeling and foaming (Hamam), which took about 2hrs, all at a very reasonable price.

We arrived early hours of the morning and was given a room under the pool, known as the dungeons. Probably for good reason. Stunk. No doors on the bathroom and flea like creatures roaming around.
We put up with for a few days and then the AC started to randomly make noises and jingles throughout the night. Eventually they moved us to a room in the hotel. It was much better.
Food is edible but far from desirable. The word on the street is that TUI is taking over and they seem to saving a bit of cash.
Beer is warm and out of a can. The head would put Bonnie Blue to shame. Only one spirit Vodka! The Russians were not complaining.
The place had all the elements to be stunning but sadly it’s like squatting in a Disney Castle.
Good luck

After booking this hotel on a win for the price, I decided to check the reviews after can’t lie I was dreading this holiday after reading negative reviews.
staff were friendly and tried their hardest to understand & speak English, previous reviews noting they didn’t speak English. You’re in Turkey what do you expect? We are the problem for not learning their language unfortunately us English are lazy for that and assume.
Hotel was clean & rooms were clean. You can clearly tell the hotel is mid renovation for the fact it looks relatively modern & rooms are half finished.
Our shower wasn’t hot at all but we noticed all hotels in Turkey have water tanks on the roof of hotels for the sun to heat hence it’s not warm, but on a day where it’s 30-40 cooler shower isn’t a bad thing. There are the odd wire handing out the wall but are covered with Electrical tape. It’s September towards the end of holiday season so I’m sure the hotel will look brilliant when it’s not peak summer ready for next year.
Dining if you’re a fussy eater with a pallet of a 5 year old you’ll be disappointed & you’ll complain and eat out like half of these reviews. If you love salads, pasta, soup random meat stews, grilled fish, omelettes you know typical food in a hot country you’ll be chuffed. You’re in Turkey not a 5* restaurant in England.
Drinks - beer is canned I can’t complain it’s decent beer, water isn’t refrigerated some beers are some aren’t the demand at this hotel there’s no surprise it’s not cool enough. Cocktails are pretty random some are great some aren’t a mystery again the price we payed for this holiday there is no way you could get close to £600 for a week for 2 people food drinks flights transfers etc in the uk
There’s a shuttle bus to the beach, the town is 10 minutes walk away the hill is an absolute killer to walk back up but there is a taxi rank at the bottom of the road costs £4 for get back up to the hotel.
We generally got a bloody good deal can’t complain.
If you’re expecting the ritz you’ll be disappointed it’s a cheap holiday, it is what you make it.
