We booked this trip with my girlfriend, a little apprehensive after reading some negative reviews. Thankfully, those fears were forgotten the moment we arrived!
For the price, this hotel is a steal. It may not be a fancy five-star resort, but it delivers incredible value. Our room was surprisingly spacious, with a slightly dated charm (think classic over trendy). While some rooms might be smaller, ours felt like a lucky upgrade. The best part? A daily-restocked mini-fridge with free soft drinks and water – a lifesaver on hot days. Plus, the cleaning staff were top-notch, keeping our room spotless.
Food was a pleasant surprise. The buffet offered a wide variety, from fresh salads and sizzling meats to satisfying pasta dishes and crispy pizzas. Breakfast featured made-to-order omelettes, and for quick bites, there were poolside burger and pizza stations. Everything we tried was hot, tasty, and perfect for fueling our adventures. Even my picky-eater girlfriend found delicious options. The on-site shop was a convenient bonus, offering essentials like sunscreen, toiletries, and snacks.
Drinks were another win. We enjoyed refreshing beers, decent wines, and well-made cocktails (the whiskey-coke was a personal favorite!).
The pool situation was fantastic. With three options – an activity pool, a main pool, and a dedicated kids' pool with a slide – there was something for everyone. We never had trouble finding sunbeds, even after leisurely breakfasts. There were also plenty of comfy outdoor seating areas and lounging spaces, perfect for relaxing with a good book.
The staff truly made the difference. Every single person we encountered was friendly, helpful, and always with a smile. Daily activities like darts, aqua aerobics, and air rifle shooting kept things lively, and the evening entertainment looked fantastic (though we opted for a more relaxed pace).
The hotel's location boasts stunning views. Nestled in the hills, the scenery was breathtaking. An unexpected perk? An on-site barber! I treated myself to a haircut, beard trim, and the works (ear waxing included!). It was honestly the best haircut I've ever had – an hour and a half of pampering for just £20! We also indulged in a couples massage with Kubilay, who offered an amazing deal. It was pure bliss – easily the best £75 spent on the entire trip (and way cheaper than similar treatments back home!).
While we didn't use the hotel's shuttle bus to the beach, it's good to know it exists. Ölüdeniz is only a 10 minute walk away and offers supermarkets, bars, and shops. Pro tip: Haggling can get you great deals on clothes, but be mindful that some alcohol and food can be pricier than back home.
One of our highlights was taking the cable car up the mountain. The panoramic views were phenomenal, and the restaurant offered delicious food and drinks (a bit on the pricier side, but worth the splurge for the quality). We also enjoyed spotting friendly cats roaming the grounds, along with a resident rooster and his chicken companions.
This trip exceeded expectations on every level. We highly recommend Nicholas Park for a fantastic and affordable escape!

Small dated rooms, manager did move us to a larger one after 2 days but think these are few! Think there are some nice rooms but pot luck what you get.
Lots of noisy young lad groups spoilt the hotel! Bar were serving them 10 drinks at a time so hence shouting and noise at 12-3am disturbing everyone most nights. They were warned but still were all you could hear round the hotel!
Moved to a different pool as language and volume was awful! Not suitable for kids!
Avoid if you want a quiet holiday!
Positives! - stunning location overlooking sea/mountains but cant walk to beach just hisaronu town. Taxis £3 each way and quick.
Helpful staff and manager who did everything he could to help.
Good quality food and choice. Beautiful views from restaurant. Gets a bit samey after a week.
Lots to do in the area. Good trips.
Entertainment was mediocre and on most nights and kids disco.
Nice chill out area with music and snack bar
Only worthy of a 3* due to quality of rooms.

Beautiful place, rooms set out it little appartmemt blocks, with flowering plants grown everywhere, 3 pools, food was lovely, staff so friendly and helpful, and some entertainment I the evening, only 1 key per room tho this doesn't have to be a problem as staff will let you back in, would definitely go again ☺

Rooms outdated and not very clean even though cleaners visited daily the only thing noticeable was the bed was made.
There was a TV the size of a laptop screen you would struggle to see this led in bed also no English channels.
Bathroom wet room dirty and dated no complentry shower gel even though there was a dispenser, shower head hanging off the wall and water had a mind of its own thank God they requested you wipe your own floor with the supplied Mop as serval times we would have flooded.
Restaurant food was good variety but unfortunately cold therefore I found my choices limited and ate salad most days.
I've cream is allowed between 3 and 4pm which is daft.
Good selection of drinks and no real limitimations.
Staff are attentive within the restaurant and great to see all food tongs in each dish, however shame 1 particular staff member found the need to use his fingers in the cucumber then decided not to eat it and put it back, and then removed tongs from the ham to use his fingers to make his breakfast, he was gross.
There was omelette for breakfast which we cooked freshly for you these were fab
The area is beautiful and stunning views great holiday to relax by the pool but only for a few days.
Pools are lovely, would be a great holiday if they spent a bit on the rooms and hot plates for the food.
Therefore I rate this 3/5
