Arum Barut Collection

We are a well travelled family and have been to Turkey several times. This hotel has surpassed all expectations. The food, the rooms, the entertainment are all top notch but one thing sets it apart. And I do not say this lightly. The staff here are immense. From front of house to dining to cleaning to bar staff theyvare friendly accommodating chatty and caring. To the point that on the 3rd day everyone knows your name and what you like. I would highly recommend the Beach bar team of Alper Mehmet Ait Serkan and Boris. Simply exceptional 👏 👌 🙌

From the moment we arrived everything was perfect. We were greeted with a welcome drink, shown to our rooms and clearly given all the information we needed. We stayed in a deluxe double on the 5th floor with direct sea view, we had two rooms as we were a family of four with two teenagers. Beach bag provided, which is always a bonus, plus everything else you could need. Mini bar stocked daily and rooms cleaned to a high standard. All areas were spotless, including the toilets throughout the complex. Restaurants provided a vast variety of food to suit all tastes, always somewhere to sit and never seemed too crowded, even thought it was peak season. Breakfast is always one of my favourites, with a fresh omelette cooked on request by a lovely man. Bars offered a wide selection of good quality drinks, premium brands provided on request. Bar nibbles (nuts and crisps) provided too. Pool areas were kept clean, it’s a shame some people aren’t capable of putting their empties in the bin though (lots of bins in all areas), rather than waiting for staff to clear up after them! Lots of sunbeds and yes, if you want a certain spot then get there by 7.30 am (no reserving beforehand) or just take what’s available when you’re ready. Plenty of room on the beach or on the pier, which was stunning. The man in charge of reinforcing the sunbed reserving was very friendly and did a great job. All staff were so professional, friendly and helpful, everyone spoke as you walked around. We had a really relaxing week and would definitely recommend this hotel.

We had a great stay at Arum Barut Collection. The hotel itself was very good, with just a few minor issues during our stay. Hotel great location and good value for money, the room was great, quiet and always very clean. Without a doubt, the highlight of our holiday was the pool bar. Umut, Furkan and Ali were absolutely incredible. They took what was already a good holiday and made it truly unforgettable. Their cocktails were consistently excellent, their service was amazing, and they always greeted everyone with a smile. No matter how busy the pool bar became and it was easily the busiest bar in the hotel, they remained friendly, professional and attentive, making every guest feel valued. They constantly went above and beyond to make sure everyone was having a great time, and their hard work never went unnoticed. They are a real credit to Arum Barut Collection and the main reason we would choose to return to this hotel in the future. A huge thank you to Umut, Furkan and Ali for making our holiday special. You were genuinely the best part of our stay, and we hope to see you again on our next visit! Szoboszlai & Frimpong

An exceptional all inclusive hotel set in a fantastic location. Everything about this hotel is right. Good facilities, friendly and attentive staff, good food, great location. The entertainment is good, with a selection of different areas each evening. As with any hotel, there are some issues with sunbeds. They are generally out in large numbers before 7am reserving sun beds, and then for most of the day the reserved sun beds are empty. The usual selfish behaviour by some people unfortunately. Other than that predictable behaviour, everything else at this hotel is perfect. Highly recommended.

Stayed here for a week with my two children. Had really high expectations following the reviews. We arrived at 12:30am Turkey time and the hotel was really quiet. Reception staff were lovely and took us to our room. The buffet was open and we were so hungry after a delayed flight out. The buffet was really poor. You can usually put a meal together with pasta or rice, but there was nothing. It Was very poor. We booked a delux direct sea view room. We did not have a direct sea view. We were over looking the neighbouring hotel. Our air conditioning kept breaking and we had maintenance to our room 3 times. No big deal, but when you’re ready for bed and it’s been 40 in the day, it’s not ideal. Our holiday was ok but at most I’d say it’s a 4 star hotel. It’s nice. But nothing like we expected. We stayed at the Sensatori Akra sorgun last year and I wanted an upgrade. We usually stay at the Hilton dalaman, but we’re a bit tired of it, but I was really disappointed. No pool service. The grounds are lovely, but the grass was being cut at 1:30 when everyone is sunbathing. WiFi is poor around the hotel. Pool is full. Food wasn’t great, even when you book the al a carte. If you’re not at the pool by 8-8.30 you’re likely to not get a bed together, despite the hotels policy of not holding sunbeds. Its an ok hotel,, but we wouldn’t come back. It’s down as a 5 star plus,, but it’s far from 5 start. I did hear someone at the bar say to the bar man ‘what a place, it’s incredible. It’s beautiful’. Both my children and I looked at each other, thinking, what are we missing. We left yesterday and it was getting busier. Glad we left when we have as I think it will feel really crowded.
