A well placed hotel that is very reasonable value with a nice atmosphere. A few people complained about the food but it was edible and it was possible to find something to eat, plenty of salads and traditional Turkish dishes, one downside was that there was nothing like grilled meat/chicken or even fish offered on the meals, they were more casserole type meals. As it was directly opposite the beach and next to the market, there were plenty of places to eat/drink with good prices. Generally clean and tidy especially outside areas, the housekeeping staff for the rooms could have been a little more attentive and sweep the floor every day but it was not unclean, it was just we knew there was something on the floor that we dropped and cleaned best we could but found bits of it the next day. The rooms were nice although it took a bit of getting used to the alarm on the door to say it wasn’t shut properly. The pool was lovely and clean with a lifeguard on duty, the sunbeds are probably getting to the end of their lives as there were a few with screws that had fallen out making them a little wonky and sometimes you were laying flat whether you wanted to or not. It was a very relaxed location with plenty of different nationalities. The Russians had their martinis by 10:00 but even people drinking early on no one was rowdy or a problem. On an evening music was turned off at a reasonable time. There is no entertainment on at the hotel other than the odd night they had a signer/guitarist on a couple of nights which wasn’t too intrusive. Staff were friendly and helpful and couldn’t do enough for you at reception, Tara was a godsend when we had some minor glitches and the gents working reception/security were just as helpful. The spa is worth a visit for a Turkish bath and massage, there are reps from both the spa and the boat excursions nearby that are active in the hotel but they aren’t pushy, they will come chat to you even if you say not right now to their products they will still stop and just generally chat without expecting you to buy. Don’t expect too much from the WiFi at the moment as they were having a problem with it and the earliest they can get the company to try fix it is mid July. If you get an eSIM you can use your phone relatively easily in the area though.

Great hotel. 4th time hear and love it. The staff look after you from the moment you arrive. Foods great. Every where is very clean. Enjoying every minute.

This is our 4 time staying at this hotel and we can't fault it. It has just been renovated and is beautiful. The hotel is very clean, the staff can't do enough to help you. The food is Turkish style and very nice. Will be back again next year.

Staff and servies excellent all thé best for mr.AYAZ serhat ahmet mustafa mě. OMER OZLÜ sooooo amazing food And beat cocktails from infity bar im absolute love it room soo nice

Don’t know who wrote some of the positive previous reviews but they are very misleading!!! Gave this hotel 1 star because of location and waiting staff .Special shoutout to Serhat, Sebastian &Anna. All staff apart from management were very helpful and caring. Our room was ok. Bed was clean and shower was good. I don’t usually have high expectations for all inclusive food but this was the worst I’ve ever experienced. Food was always cold or lukewarm and mostly inedible. Dining room was kept clean by the waiting staff but most of the communal areas were filthy and poorly maintained considering that the property was supposed to have been refurbished recently . The area around the pool was never cleaned and spilt drinks etc attracted bugs. The sunbeds were dangerous and several people trapped their fingers - my husband lost two fingernails! The communal toilets were filthy and a health hazard. The lifeguard sat in a corner on his phone most days instead of monitoring the pool and made petty rules which only applied to some people . There wasn’t entertainment during the day and very little at night No Al a Carte restaurant or minibar in room as advertised and internet is almost non existent if you have an iPhone. Had to go to outside bars to get a service. Overall our experience wasn’t good and I definitely wouldn’t recommend this hotel. As stated previously, the location and staff are the only positives features.
