Agaya Didim Resort Hotel

We had a fantastic meal with a beautiful sea view at the Fish A’La carte restaurant at Agaya Didim hotel… real authentic mezes, with great rakı and beautiful fish & seafood mains! Excellent service all around and a real treat with desserts too!

Almost non-existent cleanliness, a very large part of the hotel staff does not have knowledge of English and communication can only be achieved through Google Translate, basic food, the "private" beach where you have to come at 06:00 to find a sunbed and where people who are not in the hotel come and take their own sunbeds or crowd where people who have paid for their stay here stay, leaving behind dirt, cigarette butts, cans and empty bottles. This hotel is 5 stars only in their imagination.

Hotel clean, service good, food and food choice good. Kids club really good, all day things to do for adults and children.

First of all, it’s important to understand that this is a very traditional Turkish hotel. Until the last couple of summers, it mainly catered to Turkish guests, so don’t expect everyone to speak fluent English. The staff always do their best though, and everyone we met was friendly and welcoming. The pool area is absolutely incredible, and unlike many hotels, there was no sunbed/towel reservation issue, which was a huge bonus. The beach is literally on your doorstep and is beautiful. The entertainment team work really hard and were excellent. The only downside for us was the live singing evenings, as they were mainly Turkish music, which wasn’t really to our taste. The food is very Turkish. If you’re expecting lots of international options, seafood or shellfish, you may be disappointed. There wasn’t much fish available, and the menu became quite repetitive after a week. The beach bar also has a limited menu (around seven items), so after 10 days we’d definitely had enough of it. The gym is very basic, so don’t expect a fully equipped fitness centre. The hotel is quite isolated. There are only a handful of small shops within walking distance, so if you want restaurants, shopping or nightlife you’ll need to get a taxi into Didim. The biggest issue for us is that this is not a 5-star hotel. We’d rate it closer to a good 3-star. Jet2 actually sent us a letter during our stay explaining that the hotel’s star rating had been reviewed and changed to 3 stars, although friends travelling separately didn’t seem to receive the same information from Easy jet Overall, we had a lovely holiday thanks to the fantastic pool, beautiful beach and hardworking staff. Just go with realistic expectations about the facilities, food and location, and you’ll probably enjoy your stay. If you want your kids to have English friends on holiday there is 5% English .

Beautiful resort. very well equipped. The staff is very friendly and welcoming. Great place to spend your holidays with your family.
