Holiday ruined because of a rude staff member. Our holiday was unfortunately overshadowed by the extremely unprofessional behaviour of a staff member named Maria Babalik, who severely impacted our stay. My friend and I arrived late in the evening and were checked into our room without issue. However, the following morning, when we went to the reception area to request the Wi-Fi password, we were approached by a woman who identified herself as the "manager."
She informed us that there was a problem with our booking, claiming that the company we used to book our stay had gone bankrupt. She insisted that we pay the full amount of our stay immediately or we would be left without accommodation. This was both shocking and distressing. When we asked to speak to someone more senior, she walked away momentarily and then returned, stating that there was no one above her to speak to. She refused to provide her name when asked.
Other guests nearby were apparently in the same situation and mentioned that they had chosen to pay. However, this contradicted our experience, as our family members had arrived two days earlier, booked through the same website, and faced no issues with their reservation. This inconsistency raised serious concerns for us.
Furthermore, the timelines she gave us kept changing from needing to pay "immediately," to being given "24 hours," and finally "48 hours." She began raising her voice, threatening us, and creating a scene in a public guest area while not wearing any staff uniform. Several other guests witnessed her shouting at us, which made the situation even more humiliating.
We then approached reception directly and spoke with the owner, who confirmed that if the booking company had gone into liquidation, the matter would not affect our stay, as the funds had already been credited from our bank account. He assured us that we could remain for the duration of our booking.
Throughout our stay, we observed Maria Babalik behaving rudely toward other guests as well. On one occasion, she told an elderly couple to get out of their seats, claiming it was “her chair.” On the day before our departure, she asked if it was our last day, and upon our reply that we were leaving the next day, she responded with, “Thank God.”
To our disbelief, we later discovered that she was a “guest relations” personnel , which made her behaviour all the more unacceptable.
On a positive note, the hotel is well-located close to the beach and city center. The food and drink was different everyday with many options to choose from. The rest of the staff were welcoming and polite, greeting us every day.
This review serves as a warning to future guests to be cautious and aware of this particular staff member. We were fortunate not to have paid the additional amount she demanded as other guests were not so lucky.

Auful service! The personal does not speak English/German only Turkish language. The room is dirty and the hauskeeper change the towels only if they are on the floor. The food is not very good.
The service is very bad even the personal are rude.
Do you think it is normal to ask for hot water for our daughter's milk almost every day. And when the bar is closed and you get turned away from the restaurant, you have to ask the hotel security for hot water. And when security also refuses you have to go to the grocery store across the street and beg for hot water? I repeatedly requested and asked for a kettle of hot water and was denied because it was not hotel policy. Unlike you other hotels offer free tea and coffee in addition to the standard in-room hot water jug. As for the food, typical things about Turkish cuisine were absent, the breakfast was very very poor, mostly just different types of eggs. For example I never tried baklava or something typical for the Turkish kitchen.
Which of the following meals typically for Turkey was served
gevrek (round-shaped pastry, also called simit)
jajla (soup with rice and mint)
sudjuk (spicy Turkish sausage)
kuzu güveç (casserole with lamb meat and vegetables)
kokoreç (offal with spices wrapped in lamb intestine)
gyozleme (pancake)
eggplant jam
?????
The sausages that were regularly present did not even taste of meat but of soy. The sliced Cremviers for breakfast were terrible, even the cats wouldn't eat them.
It's written that the bar for the sandwiches next to the pool it's working until 16:00 but instead of this at 15:30 it's closed.
Only four cocktails were free. They made them badly to encourage people to order paid ones. The good cocktails and Whisky were paid.
For me this was full board not all inclusive, but I paid for all inclusive.
And regarding the receptionist who when I politely asked her to charge my phone for a bit before leaving very rudely refused and as she spoke no English suddenly spoke. The bathroom in the room for 9 days was never once cleaned. I did an experiment and left some of the little bar of soap in the sink and it wasn't even pushed in, not to mention that we didn't put any new little bars of soap in once. The worktop was only changed once and that was because we asked them to. The towels had to be thrown on the ground to be changed otherwise for days the old ones just went on the terrace.
A question of increased difficulty. How can I complain to the manager/owner when not even all the people at the front desk speak English. How do I know if the manager also speaks English or will I have to translate from Turkish to English?
The very fact that instead of apologizing for the inconvenience, the owner blamed me for why I did not like the hotel's services shows an example of the hotel's overall service.
Is this the service you offer???
Big mistake never again!!!

My room was extremely dirty and under the beds it was full of dust and trash. One of the receptionists was extremely impolite and unprofessional, I’m not sure what her name was but I think she came from Ukraine. The food was sometimes okay but through most of the time it wasn’t delicious.
