Liberty Signa

Our family had a thoroughly wonderful time at Liberty Signa, Although I can think of a number of things that Signa can do to further build upon what is a great hotel, none of it had any negative impact upon our stay, as we are a family that just gets on with things and chills. If you are the type of person that goes on holiday and wants to be ‘waited on’ then you will feel some of the areas lacking service and attention, and this could be an irritation. One of the things that really works well is that the hotel layout is brilliant, all key facilities are all within a few easy minutes walk from each other, and it makes a massive difference when things are so easily accessible, it just flows and works. We were lucky enough at check in (never happened to us before) to be upgraded from a standard room, to access to pool via stairs rooms - this really made our holiday! These rooms sit just meters from multiple shared pools, and in our case, our pool sat in an elevated position looking down at the water park - which was really helpful to observe our children. Although the main pool wasn’t far away, we never visited it, as there was no need to. The hotel during the day never ever felt crowded (despite being in August) as there was an abundance of sun loungers in every area - and was a big factor for us choosing Signa. I’m an early riser (at the pool by 7.30am) and every morning I was generally the only person at the pool until at least 9.30am, and even at the busiest times of the day, our pool area was never busy - it was bliss! In terms of other things we liked, it was things like: * The location is stunning, beautiful mountain views, lovely long sandy beach and a great continual breeze that was so nice during blistering hot days. * Great sporting activities that our children regularly got involved with: fly yoga, stretching etc. * The water park catered well to most age groups - we’ve been to some hotels where the water parks focused on extreme rides, and this alienated our youngest who was never the minimum weight to ride them alone. At Signa, she loved them all, and could go without an adult, yay for us! * The beach bar was a favourite place during the evening for sunsets and for live entertainment- the singers were all fabulous! * The vibe around the main pool - which could be heard from our pool area, was great and the effort Signa goes to in creating fun activities on the lawn areas were also great. * Lumos beach was always lively for the over 16’s in our group and we enjoyed going there from time to time and having Shisha. * All the evening restaurants were great. The Italian, Ricotta and Indian, Puri were our favourite and we love Okeanos for lunch. * Guest relations were always warm and instantly reactive to any request or query - which was really appreciated! * Staff as a whole were polite, kind and took pride in their role. In terms of improvements, we noted: * The evening buffet was chaotic and we only managed to eat there once for our evening meal, as we couldn’t get a table for our family group! In order to reduce the issue and the current noise level, it needs to be open longer than the 7-9.30pm current opening time - say 6-10pm. The buffet area simply isn’t big enough for the volume of guests at the resort. As we booked our stay prior to Signa reducing the free à la carte visits down to 1 reservation per stay, we had 5 free restaurant options, and thankfully this meant we could use our free bookings to guarantee a meal somewhere. Had we not got this, then we would have had to either pay for a restaurant or eat at the only other restaurant available (Timeless) and this would have been a bigger issue for us. (Petra was also available for free for the over 16’s, but that means younger children eating elsewhere - which isn’t always ideal, when you want to eat as a family) * The quality of food at Signa is really good, but it’s not as good as some hotels of equal standard we’ve stayed at (Lara and Anda Barut, Voyage Belek) I also found the food options in some restaurants at lunchtime very ‘samey’ and limited - which meant most days I was eating the same dishes over and over. Most of the restaurants for lunch, the choices are a few different burgers, a few different pizza’s a few pasta dishes, the evening menu was then only slightly different. It would be great to see much more choices in each restaurant, more diversity. * There is a lack of towel stations - so you had to travel to get sun lounger towels. Install more towel stations at designated places, like on the beach and at each of pools that have direct access rooms, for convenience. Also, get rid of having to provide a ‘towel card’ it’s pointless, as we are guests at the hotel, so shouldn’t need one. * There were also no toilets within our designated pool area, we either had to return back to our room (up a flight of stairs) or venture down a long steep staircase and use those behind the water park - which was a minor irritation, but if there is a lack of toilets, it then increases the chances that some children (or even adults) would pee in the pool instead! * Service, more often than not, was just a little slow. At times it felt there were far fewer staff than needed, so in some of the bars and restaurants things took time (20 mins for a drink), or were forgotten. At the buffet for breakfast or lunch, some tables weren’t cleaned or cleared away quickly, and this doesn’t look good. * Also, when it comes to service, don’t overlook younger guests. On numerous occasions our 12 and 15 year old (as well as our friend’s child) would be waiting in line at the bar, only to be overlooked and the adults behind them served instead. I understand that the focus will be on adult guests, but that isn’t right and doesn’t show them courtesy. Overall, we had a really great time at Signa, and I would definitely recommend it to anyone. I think with some careful adjustments and fine tuning, this could be an outstanding hotel that can then easily compete with the experienced Barut and Voyage hotels.

Brilliant holiday! The first holiday that I've actually taken part in the activities! Early morning yoga and pilates was excellent and relaxing. Aqua zumba was so much fun and the water polo highly energetic and entertaining. Lovely holiday!

The location and surrounding area are beautiful, with a lovely beach, clear sea, and a relaxing atmosphere. The hotel has plenty of different areas, so whether you want to relax or have fun, there is something for everyone. One of the highlights for us was the animation team. They were friendly, energetic, and always made the activities enjoyable. A special thank you to Aru, who was especially good at her job. She was very friendly, professional, and made the activities even more fun. We particularly enjoyed water polo with her — she was fantastic at keeping everyone involved and creating a great atmosphere. We also really enjoyed the evening shows. They were entertaining, well organised, and a great way to spend the evening after dinner. Another favourite place was the adult bar and Lumos Beach Club. It was perfect for relaxing, enjoying a drink, listening to music, and watching the sunset. The atmosphere at Lumos was especially nice and gave us the chance to enjoy a more peaceful and sophisticated side of the hotel. Overall, we had a wonderful holiday at Liberty Signa. The beautiful area, excellent entertainment, great activities, evening shows, adult areas, and especially the amazing animation team made our stay very memorable. A special thank you to Aru for making our holiday even more enjoyable! We would definitely recommend Liberty Signa and hope to come back again.
