Yel Holiday Resort

Val Davies

We are currently staying in this Hotel, the rooms are basic but clean, so can not fault them. The majority of staff are not friendly and not particularly helpful. This Hotel is described as a family run small hotel, this is not the case, it's quite large, and the amenities can not cope , the pool is not big enough to accommodate the amount of people, and if you want a sunbed you had better be prepared to be up at 6.30 at the latest. To get your food you have to walk around a very small island, this again does not work as it's to small to accommodate the surge of people who want their food. On the reviews it says how amazing Gizmo and Gadget are (the entertainment team )........don't know what to say really, the entertainment is very poor, and VERY repetitive. Fully inclusive, ice creams are available at 8pm....What's that all about ??? We knew this Hotel was out of the main places, but we're told you can walk to Hisaranou, you can't. I have NEVER been to a hotel in all my years where sunbed wars is actually shocking. One more positive is the breakfast chef who does the pancakes is lovely. My advice to anyone looking at coming to this Hotel is don't or come in low season.

This is our 4th time at this hotel. For us we absolutely love it. The staff are very friendly and go out of there way to help you with anything. The entertainment team are fantastic. Location is stunning with mountain views all around. Hotel very clean. For a cheap holiday this is a great choice.

My daughter and I had 2 weeks at this beautiful hotel! All employees of this place are amazing! The bar staff, the restaurant staff, the pool guys and the entertainment team! But the biggest shout out goes to the room maids! Our room maid was the most beautiful soul. So kind and so friendly. Nothing was too much trouble and our room was umacualte when she had been in! With beautiful towel sculptures left on our beds. Such a happy soul. My daughter wanted to adopt her! 🤣

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Holiday Review – July 2025 (A little late writing this review, but I don’t usually write reviews – this holiday was so good I had to!) --- Hotel & Rooms Yel Holiday Resort is the best all-inclusive 3* family hotel I’ve stayed in for many years. Rooms were very clean. Maids did a fantastic job – beds made and fresh towels daily. On arrival, we had a litre of bottled water in the fridge, which was very much appreciated after a late-night flight in hot weather. --- Food & Restaurant The food was excellent – always fresh, hot, and with plenty of choice every day. Omelettes and fried eggs cooked to order in the mornings. Grilled meats and burgers freshly made most evenings. Always a good selection of salads,desserts available. Restaurant staff were friendly and helpful. --- Bar & Drinks Great bar service with a wide selection of drinks. The staff worked hard to keep queues down during busy times. Special mention to Servet, a waiter who was always smiling and took the time to chat with my daughters and making them laugh. --- Entertainment The entertainment was the highlight of the holiday! Daily activities included pool gym, darts, and games. Evenings (except Sundays) started with a kids’ mini disco, followed by a show or karaoke. The entertainment team was amazing – Gadget and Gizmo kept everyone laughing, always smiling and making sure all guests felt included. --- Atmosphere Guests were from many different countries, but everyone was made to feel welcome. It was a very friendly hotel with a great family vibe. --- Negatives Only a couple of downsides: The pool area is small for the number of guests, and getting a sunbed was very difficult. By 7am they were all gone – I even had to set an alarm, which I never usually do on holiday. Some people left towels all day without using the beds, which was frustrating. Reception staff were hit and miss – some helpful, but one younger staff member was not very friendly or helpful. I wish ice cream was served in the afternoon rather than the evening. Most people would prefer it during the day when it’s hot, instead of after dinner. --- Local Area Lots to see and do nearby if you want to explore: Bars and shops just down the hill. A nice walk (about 45 minutes) or a short dolmus ride to Hisaronu, which has a market on Mondays. We also visited Fethiye by dolmus – it’s too far to walk, but only a short ride and definitely worth it. The market there is huge compared to Hisaronu’s. --- Overall Would I recommend this hotel? Yes – 100%! We had a brilliant time and would happily return.

Currently staying at the hotel August 2025 The positives: -Rooms are clean and air con is free. -Pancake man is very friendly and cooks fantastic pancakes each morning. Cleaning Staff are friendly. The negatives: -Not the small family run hotel I was expecting. All the facilities are overwhelmed Especially in peak season. The pool is like the scene from Diary of a Wimpy Kid. -Up at 5:30AM trying to get a subbed and when you do get one you are sandwiched in a spot like sardines on a tin with barely leg room to stand. The pool is not big enough for the amount of guests and neither is there is the amount of land/space for loungers. Don’t expect a lie-in if you want a sun bed. -The food is satisfactory but the buffet bar/area is too small to cope with guests when at maximum capacity. -Entertainment is repetitive. After reading previous reviews I was expecting big things from Gadget, Gizmo and spare part but feel they have their favourite guests and made little effort if you weren’t boozing or paid for overpriced bingo tickets. -The location isn’t great and isn’t in walking distance to anything with a main road directly outside. - Ice cream served from 8pm-9pm at night WTH….. I’d get it if it was 2-4 during the day but evening is just ridiculous. -If your room is near reception you can expect noise and disruption up to 12pm as people are noisy waiting for transfers and watching football and kids hang out fighting, swearing and smoking. -I love cats but when you’re in the dining room and they spray urine all over your brand new dress….it isn’t great. Staff aren’t very helpful either in ushering them out of the restaurant. Be wary! I read the reviews before I booked this hotel and felt comforted by families who had returned like 22 times…..after staying here I think Why?! I’ve stayed in much nicer, friendlier, smaller family run hotels where the food and entertainment are much better. Would I come again…..No!
