Sherwood Dreams

Katie Heer and Family The hotel was nice and clean. Rooms are decent size however, bathroom/shower needs updating. Room service was very good even provided bath robes for all family members on request. Guest relations very helpful and kept checking if they could do anything extra for us or if we needed anything. Food was excellent, really good choice for adults and kids, good selection of food outside the main restaurant aswel. nice seating area outside to eat. Pizza place was absolutely amazing, the whole family loved it and the traditional Turkish gozleme was amazing. The patisserie was amazing, great selection of cakes and sandwiches. Kids and adults loved the aquapark on site especially the 2 younger kids (4 year olds) loved the baby pool with slides. Main pool was nice for the size of the hotel. Beach was ok, had alot of pebbles but once in water family members said it was nice. Pier very nice and relaxing. Entertainment was very good, every night something different and kids loved the mini disco before main Entertainment started. Kids club absolutely amazing, all 3 kids (4 and 8 years old) loved it, nice and clean inside, friendly staff with different activities provided for the kids. Spa was nice, could be maintained a bit better and showers in the spa could be upgraded otherwise was nice. Would definitely recommend this hotel however it does need a few upgrades and more Entertainment in main reception lobby area.

Good hotel. Nice selection of pools and activites. Very family/kids orientated. Adult entertainment could be better as no day pool parties, or evening parties like something other places. Food is very nice and staff are very friendly.

The hotel is lovely and clean, staff friendly and helpful. Entertain team lack energy, not very up beat but friendly. aircon around the hotel is not the best. lack of lifeguard present around the pool is not great especially when we sit in the non smoking area and people are smoking as no one to stop them.

Great holiday with my son Father and son solo trip and hotel staff where great, our room wasn’t perfect at first but staff moved us to a much more suitable room without any issues. Very friendly staff and very clean hotel

So now the cases are all un packed and the washing is out on the line it’s time for an honest review of how I felt our weeks stay at the Sherwood went. Family of 4, kids are 12 and 8. On arrival the check in was a late one, we had booked the family room to give us a bit of extra space, check in was fine if not a bit rushed by the receptionist but there was no issue there, everyone was tired. The room itself was fine for layout, we had a corner room, the balcony was huge….double bed for adults and 2 singles for the kids. My main issue (which is a recurring theme for the entire hotel ) was that although everything was functional, it could really do with a touch up a little bit of maintenance and attention to detail. Room issues. Stains at the bottom of the tv wall on the tiles, the floating shelf on said tv wall was gripping on for dear life, both the toilet roll holder and spare holder were literally removable from the wall, tv wall itself looked rough with broken edges, fridge is awful, such an old unit which probably chucks out even more heat out the back of it for the air con to compete against. Air con did work though. The shower is presentable enough but the water pressure is terrible! I wondered if this was down to saving water but by the time it takes to get hot the volume of wasted water is incredible. The worst issue were the exposed wires behind the table side sockets - thankfully my kids are old enough to understand the danger and once told stayed clear but this is totally unacceptable and could have horrific consequences for children amd adults alike. Hotel in general. The main lobby is bright, fresh and has quite a nice atmosphere in the evening. Table service is decent too. Travel further round the complex you may start to see where things can be improved. Old water stains pealing away the paint and almost plaster from the spa roof, a towel left on the floor to catch water running down a wall, water guttering around the pool either missing or broken, urinals at the pool toilets blocked, poor finishing to everything that involves silicone, small stones on the bottom of the main pool - especially under the walk over (understandable but again could be sorted) The pool is spacious and never really feels over crowded. (1.4m all the way round) steps in and out can be mega slippy, (it’s a pool, to be expected) but there is a hand rail for aid. At the bridge bar entrance half the problem are guests hanging around that area, this can make it a bit tricky on entry and exit. The Water slides and water park area is brilliant! Our kids loved it, as did we! Food and drink. We never struggled with either, breakfast and dinner in the main buffet was pleasant enough, although it was getting busier the day before we left and did notice it can be slightly crowded - always food available though from, what I saw. Lunch was either a pizza at the beach front or a kebab/chips grabbed from the take away area - you won’t go hungry here, maybe repetitive but always available. Drinks at the bar were also ok, ask for top brands and it’s never an issue - the bridge bar at the pool could do with 2 staff on it to help at peak times but if there is a wait it is never for too long, there are also fridges topped up with bottles of water and beer which help. Staff. The hotel staff here are incredibly hard worked but they are also what may actually save a guests experience. Everyone we spoke to or asked for help were absolutely superb and a true credit to the hotel. This is a hotel that the kids will love, adults too if the little things were addressed and maintained. Would we return? No. Was it value for money? Probably just…. Unfortunately it’s not a 4 star hotel by any means in my eyes but we all had an enjoyable stay.
