Hotel Orfeus Park

Wasn't the best experience, Wasn't the worst...we arrived about an hour before official check in time, given our wrist bands and told to get lunch, come back and our room would be ready I was definitely underwhelmed by the food on offer and just had some soup and bread and fruit, soup was lovely Room was spacious and clean but it wasn't cleaned daily and that was our choice, but when cleaned we were only once in 8 days replenished with coffee, tea and water...we had only asked for privacy and not to be woken up on 2 mornings Entertainment absolutely non existent only one night we got to watch fabulous Colombian dancers..all beautiful, fit and what a show! We were looking forward to beach volleyball and that never once happened The sunbeds are an absolute joke and really need renewed, all material coming away from the sides and you find yourself laying on the plastic underneath Food was only just ok if you went when restaurant officially opened and it was like a free for all, not relaxing or enjoyable at all....yes salads in abundance but the choice of hot food was not good...I dont think many children want to live on chips or onion rings for the week! Ice cream served for one hour per day...slush machine always broken Good points are you can use the sister hotel orfeus queen by simply walking across the road or going down in the lift and through and underpass, you can use the pool, drink and watch animation but not allowed to eat there....we felt this hotel had a weird vibe but it was a change of scenery from our hotel...orfeus park now Communal toilets always clean Two very friendly guys on the bar at night Absolutely loads of beautiful cats 3 beautiful small dogs with collars and owned who I can only think was the owner Little shops just inside hotel grounds at entrance very nice I also met 2 lovely young girls who enjoyed me speaking Turkish, they worked there Mostly Russian guests...no problem A few Germans and polish It has the potential to be great but really sorry, the food, entertainment and to be honest the unfriendly attitude of staff let it down

The rooms are very basic. When we were booking the hotel through travel agency, we insisted that we need to have single bed for our five year old. Unfortunately when we arrived at the hotel, we got the room with sleeping sofa. We asked for a bed but we needed to pay additional 80 eur. The pool area is very crowded, you actually need to reserve a sun bed by putting your towel on it early in the morning. The restaurant is very crowded and you constantly have to wait in a line to get the food which is quite annoying. The animation is done very poorly and shortly. So all in all I think you can get better value for your money. I would not book this hotel again.

A large family group, they did not have enough rooms for us on arrival so had to share a family room till the next day, but was given nicer rooms. Wasn’t the cleanest of places. I would say 3 star. A nice area 10 min walk to beach, another 10 mins the other way and u have a supermarket and place to eat as well as lots of the usual shops. 30 mins drive to old town which was lovely with the harbour and restaurants and seeing the ruins.

So what you have to know beforehand. There’s 3 orfeus park, orfeus queen, and orfeus armin. Same hotel but different buildings. First you gonna have to explore to find your way around the different buildings cause you can cross the streets or take the underground tunnel. The receptions at every different building don’t speak English that good. For the rest once you get your wristband you have access to every pool( there’s 3 or 4 of them), the spa where you get a massage ( its paid but prices are negotiable 😂) fitness ( bad equipment), alot of other stuff. You can eat at every hotels restaurant 👌🏾

We’ve had a lovely few days away, it’s been a little bit more quiet being out of season but we like it like this. Even though it’s been quieter the animation crew have been great getting us involved in activities. The food has been great and drinks flowing! Would love to come back!
