I didn’t have high expectations of this hotel due to getting a cheap deal with EasyJet but it was a lot worse than I imagined. We arrived late to a room that had no air con, WiFi, bathroom lights, a broken fridge, stained sheets and 2 quilts between 5 of us. The food was basic and I had seen reviews mentioning illness before our stay and unfortunately I ended up spending a day sick myself. I can’t say for sure if it was food or just bad luck but seeing someone fall ill in the restaurant on night one didn’t inspire much confidence. The A La Cart restaurant on site was the same food served in the main buffet except with table service to pretty pointless. The main water park was completely closed which was extremely disappointing and pools were dirty with broken tiles and the grounds unkept. Entertainment was limited and the beach closed at 5pm. Kids club was a place you wouldn’t want to leave your children and their schedule consisted drawing a majority of the time. The evening bar was like sitting in an airport lounge and the drinks selection poor with no option to buy premium wine/beer. The views were pleasant and we had some nice meals in the local town of Özdere (5 mins) although there wasn’t much to do or see unless you like stray dogs and cats. A trip to Aqua Fantasy Park (40 mins) was fun and shopping in Kuşadasi (45 mins) was good. We came in October and had one sunny day out of 7 with cold winds and rain which was very difficult entertaining 3 children with limited options available so overall an utterly disappointing trip.

My family just got back from our holiday (two adults and our two year old), although the hotel is very nice and first few days of our holiday was great, I had to give only 3 stars because of the main issue you can read in few other reviews - food poisoning. Luckily my baby didn’t get it, as well as my husband, but I was very, very ill. Almost fainted at the airport, I was so exhausted, I never experienced something like this before, I even ended up having to get an IV after landing back home. It’s such a shame I experienced this, because the food was really amazing, and the choices were great.
My other issue is with golf carts, we waited couple times for them to arrive, and they never came, plus one guy drives insanely fast, I had to grab my baby because we almost fell out, very stressful experience.
The beach is beautiful, there is always free sun beds, even with a lot of guests. I would only suggest maybe cleaning the seaweed since there’s so much of it in the water and on the beach, I’ve seen some public beaches being better kept.
The pools and slides are also very nice and my husband enjoyed all of them (not my thing), and the kids pool is also fun.
We stayed at one of the bungalows, and we are very satisfied, it’s always clean, we had always fresh bottled water, and our view was nice, we even had a cat visitor one night (we are cat lovers, so we were super happy about this). There were some ants coming in, but that’s not such a big deal, as the room balcony is on ground level, so it’s pretty normal.

We came here with our two children who are 10 & 6, myself and my husband both in our thirties & 60 year old grandparents.
This is the first time we have stayed in this area of Turkey. The location of the hotel is very remote although not an awful journey from the airport. The airport is actually nice and much better than Antalya for example.
The main positives of our stay were:
. overall the rooms were basic but clean & cleaned daily with fresh towels
. the beach was lovely
. the kids water park was great for our ten year old . most of the staff were friendly apart from the guy working in the gift shop.
Now for the negatives:
. I think there is a food poisoning issue at this hotel, I have stayed in turkey before and have never had any issues but myself, my 60 yr old father & 6 year old all had a day of throwing up and feeling terrible. I could hear other people in the toilet being sick as well so don’t think it was just us.
. Because the hotel is huge things seem to be done quite slowly, for example if you ring reception and request a golf buggy to take your luggage it can take a while and we had to make a second call.
.The hotel is not frequented by many brits which for us was fine but then the food obviously reflects this. Although the food choice was vast I didn’t rate it.
.The alcohol quality wasn’t good, watered down beer etc. Again this could be due to many Muslims using the hotel who may not drink alcohol.
. There were a few power cuts during our stay and one occasion when the water would not go cold, again because the hotel is so huge these issues take time to sort out.
. Lots and lots of flies when you’re eating but again unfortunate for the hotel and they did try and prevent them.
. Although the hotel is advertised as ‘all inclusive’ free ice creams are only served from a box of two choices between 2pm - 4pm daily.
. The hotel is on a cliff so you have to go up many stairs and slopes to get anywhere.
. The staff use golf buggies to get around but many of them travel far too quickly and on many occasions on their phone whilst driving, a few times we had to grab our kids out the way of them. . The kids entertainment didn’t start until 9pm which I thought was quite late for little ones.
. Some of the rooms face where the entertainment is so it can be quite loud at night.
Overall the hotel is quite dated and in need of repair, tiles coming off the pool etc. Some small adjustments would make the rooms nicer, like coffee machines, robes and replacement of shower fittings (our shower tray was yellow from over use)
Overall we enjoyed our holiday but we wouldn’t come back here.

We chose this hotel due to its reasonable price and convenient location. The food was at an average level, but the staff was always accommodating and tried their best to meet our requests. Throughout the day, there are various activities and bars offering drinks and snacks to satisfy your needs. The water park is also great, and we really enjoyed the sandy beach. Since we didn't come with high expectations, we were very satisfied with our holiday. We would like to thank the friendly staff for their excellent service and warm hospitality.
