Xanadu Resort

Fantastic hotel spotless clean, staff very friendly and helpful. The food was fantastic. Rooms cleaned everyday. The entertainment was good some nights good and some no so good but overall can't complain. Three great size pools plenty things put on for kids. Plenty of choice in the alcohol department with good measures. Only thing I would say is dont leave money lying on display in your room as cleaners think its there tip and lift it but not the 1st hotel ive been in this has happened I didn't say anything as it was intended for her but would have preferred to put it in hand myself. I would most definitely stay here again.

Yes, it is as amazing as the reviews indicate. Just go ahead and book, this place is next level. One thing is the number of activities, pools, sports, animation activities, private beach fronts, bars, etc - all in close proximity and walking distance across the resorts where everything is kept so tidy and friendly. Another thing is the staff. Absolute professionals and always motivated, never pushy, always respectful and just out to make the trip fun. Food and bar services are everywhere and staff are amazingly attentive and fast. So impressed. What is most impressive though is the pride and the attention to detail you feel everyone has about how the place is run. How the grounds are kept so pristine every day, how one hour a huge pool party is set up, then the next hour a big-screen World Cup match has replaced it. It just works like clockwork and I have no idea how they make it work. Amazingly run establishment. We stayed in the Bungalow rooms. Decor is outdated compared to current market standards. Beds are firm bordering on hard and entertainment options are cable tv. Air condition worked super well all ways and kept the room cool. Noise level at the Bungalow is fine. Xanadu Bar will have shows around 8-9PM and sometimes longer, where you do sense the bass waves if you really try - aircondition will have it blocked as white noise. I would recommend against staying in the main building if youre sensitive to noise as this will also make the Amphitheatre noticeable.

Fantastic hotel with amazing staff. Two weeks of heaven at this hotel. There is enough going on to keep you active and entertained but nothing is in your face and over the top. We thoroughly enjoyed playing Boccia with Layla everyday, she is so lovely and welcomed everyone of all ages with a huge smile. Food was great, some staple dishes everyday but also lots of new ones in the main restaurant. The Irish Bar showed all the World Cup games and even brought out hot snacks to enjoy while watching. The spa is wonderful, if not a little too hot for me. Marco the hotel cat is hilarious, he looks so grumpy! Could ramble on forever but will sum up by saying this holiday was up there among the best we have had.

The resort is absolutely fabulous. The food was amazing with so much choice and the quality was very good, especially the outside grilling area. The hotel and the grounds were immaculate and always very clean, the pool areas were lovely and there were plenty of sunbeds to choose from, although the usual towel reserving tactics were in play but difficult to stop that I suppose. What was included in the all-inclusive was also very impressive with branded drinks and ice-creams/ice-lollies all included at no extra cost. We only tried the Turkish a la carte and it was very good, especially if you like your Turkish meze. We also had massages at the Spa and it was of the highest quality. There were plenty of daytime activities and evening entertainment was also very varied and of good quality. The only two negatives were: 1. The prices in the hotel shops are absolutely terrible. We needed suncream and had to pay 45 euros for it (10 euros in UK), and since there are no shops within 5 miles of the hotel we had no choice but to pay it. 2. The hotel rooms are a little tired and could do with an update. All in all a very good holiday resort and we would definitely return, but will plenty of suncream next time.

Hi all, tonight is our last night here after an 8 night stay. Thought we would post a quick review. TLDR: Outstanding. 9/10. More detail as follows: GENERAL. Maintenance is excellent. Pools, paths, gardens, all spotless. A shout-out to the maintenance staff who never get mentioned in reviews but who kept this place spotless in 37•C heat. Bins are emptied regularly, there are only a few wasps and other insects in the main areas. ROOM. We stayed in a bungalow (Julibrissin block). Clean, good maid and mini bar service. Air con was effective (we’ve had issues with air con in Belek hotels in the past). Beds perhaps slightly hard, but that’s a matter of taste. MAIN RESTAURANT. Good, with a few points to note. Firstly, all drinks are served by waiting staff. If you want to refill your own juice, beer or wine, you can’t do that here (there are machines where you can get your own coffee, but no beer/wine/juice dispensers). In general, there are enough waiting staff on duty for that not to be a problem, but it may put some people off. Two other issues worth noting. First, the serving stations are dotted about a bit: some inside, some outside. If you like to do a circuit to see what’s available before stacking your plate, that’s a bit complicated here, you have to do a weird S-shaped circuit. Second, being a Muslim country, they don’t serve so-called “haram” food like pork, bacon etc. Some Turkish hotels get around this by having a separate station for the harem food that only the non-Muslim chefs deal with. This hotel doesn’t serve it at all. So if you want pork sausages or bacon with your breakfast, you won’t find it here. However, we found their substitutes (beef bacon and beef sausages) quite good so it ended up not being a big problem. A LA CARTE RESTAURANTS. We had one meal at both the Italian and Turkish restaurants included. Both are on the beach. Food quality and service were both very good, with the exception of the steaks at the Italian restaurant which were poor when we visited. Of the other A La Carte restaurants, only the seafood restaurant has its own premises. The others (French, Oriental, Mexican?) are just alcoves in the main buffet restaurant, and you have to pay extra for them. We didn’t eat here so can’t review the food or service. POOLS AND SLIDES. There are 3 big pools (Zero pool, Ancient Pool, Secret Garden pool). The first two are next to each other and are essentially the same pool; the latter needs to be searched for but it’s worth it because it’s a hidden gem. The Ancient Pool is particularly good for adults who want to swim lengths, it’s not quite Olympic pool sized but it’s close. The slides comprise the three “white slides” (two of which are open to all, the third one of which is 16+) and the “coloured slides” for the younger children which are in the Fancyland kids park. The colourful slides were decent quality but the lifeguards were quite poor in management (my kids crashed into a younger guest because they were told to go at the wrong time) and the slides gave friction burns because there wasn’t enough water. The “white slides” got a thumbs up from my teens. ENTERTAINMENT. The quality of the shows we saw was very good. However, there was only an amphitheatre show every second night; on other nights there were only music acts in the main bar or a disco in the hula bar. This may change in August (and we were here during the finals week of the football World Cup, which may have mucked up their schedules). On our last night there was a jazz band overlooking the ancient pool which was nice. BARS. Very good. Several different bars, each with a slightly different character, good selection of drinks, premium brands, good service. SHOPS AND GAMES. The hotel isn’t within walking distance of any shops or bars, and it shows. There is a shop in the hotel, together with two pool tables and a small bowling alley, but all three are very expensive (eg pool table was 10 euros for an hour). Overall, would we come back? Yes.
