The hotel offers spacious and well-equipped rooms, including a tea/coffee-making station and a minibar stocked with water, lemonade, and peach juice.

My stay at the hotel was a mix of good and not-so-great aspects. The rooms, located on the top floor, were okay but fell short of a 5-star standard, maybe more of a 3-star. However, the experience was marred by the unsettling situation where a group of disappointed holidaymakers had to be relocated to a different hotel miles away, which was truly shocking.

Rooms

The rooms on the top floor were acceptable but not top-notch, more like a 3-star level.

Service

Unfortunately, I had a disappointing experience with the management and staff, making it unlikely for me to return. However, kudos to Alican for his Turkish massages, and the pool bar and cleaning staff were decent. On the question of value for money, it was a mixed bag with aspects like room service, car hire, shuttle service, and welcome drink.

Location

7.0

The location was nice, especially for those who didn't mind the cold due to smokers frequently opening doors. The surroundings were clean, with shops and restaurants nearby adding to the appeal. There was also commendable effort in helping guests with Turkish to English translations to resolve issues.

Dining

5.0

The dining experience was subpar with repetitive menu options throughout my stay. The quality of food was lacking, and the variety didn't extend beyond basic items like different egg dishes and bread, with limited fruit choices.

I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms were well-appointed and cleaned daily, featuring a large walk-in shower with nice hot water, but the sunbed availability was limited. The food was somewhat repetitive, and some staff members were rude, although we managed to connect with a few through our charm, notably Baco at the juice bar. Overall, we ended up enjoying our 10-day stay thanks to some of the staff members who made it memorable.
