Today is my las day at Aydınbey Resort and unfortunately, my overall experience was disappointing. While the hotel has potential, there are too many issues that made the stay uncomfortable and far from relaxing.
Room
The room itself was nicely designed – modern, comfortable, and spacious. However, the air conditioner didn’t work, which made sleeping difficult. Housekeeping was below expectations – the ashtray was never emptied, water was not replenished, and overall attention to cleanliness was lacking.
Guests & Atmosphere
Approximately 99% of the guests were Russian-speaking, many of whom behaved in a disrespectful and messy way. Loud, disorderly, and often disturbing to others, especially in common areas. Sadly, the hotel staff seemed to tolerate this behavior instead of addressing it.
Staff & Communication
The majority of the staff do not speak English, making communication nearly impossible. The only exception was a few employees at the Wonder Bar – they were kind, polite, and made an effort to engage with guests. Special thanks to them, as they were the only ones who brought some positivity to the evenings.
Drinks & Bars
Drinks across the resort were generally disappointing – served in paper cups, with little care or presentation. Only at Wonder Bar did the bartenders try to make proper cocktails, and even then, only if requested. Elsewhere, drinks like whiskey-cola seemed to be the default and required minimal effort.
Pools & Beach
The only pool that felt somewhat relaxing was the furthest one – fewer people and less loud Russian music. Unfortunately, the peace was ruined daily by a gardener using loud petrol-powered tools around the pool area.
The beach was a major letdown – small, crowded, with sunbeds crammed together. The sea entry was rocky and unpleasant, and cigarette butts and other trash were everywhere.
Entertainment & Activities
All animation was entirely in Russian. The animators made no effort to speak English, which made it clear the hotel caters almost exclusively to Russian tourists. This was frustrating and exclusionary for others.
Food
The main restaurant served tasty and varied meals, which was the highlight of the stay. However, even arriving 30 minutes before the end of meal times meant dealing with long queues and messy, uncleared tables. Snacks and drinks were available throughout the day, but again – prepare to wait in lines to get anything.
Other observations
The hotel is very child-oriented – lots of kids screaming and jumping into the pool, ignoring “no jumping” signs, and the lifeguards didn’t intervene. Even some adults acted similarly, disturbing others’ rest.
The hotel layout is convenient – everything is within close walking distance. However, there is a clear lack of calm, outdoor lounge areas that don’t face a road.
Final thoughts
While I appreciated the tasty food and a few kind staff members, the overall environment was too chaotic, loud, and disorganized. It may suit those who want non-stop activity and don’t mind the crowds and noise, but for anyone seeking peace and quality service, I would not recommend this place.
Rating: 3/10 – good food, warm sea, but not worth the stress and overcrowding.

From the moment we entered the hotel, we were really pleased with the smiling face and kind approach of the reception team resul and tolga The general attitude of the staff was very polite and hospitable, which had a positive effect on our stay. The rooms were clean and comfortable. The general atmosphere of the hotel is relaxing. I just want to make a small note about the food; I think it could be better in terms of taste. Still, it was a nice experience overall. I recommend it!

Whilst the hotel isn’t a 5 star it really isn’t as awful as reviews make out. The rooms are cleaned daily and any issues are resolved almost straight away. Most staff are helpful, however the language barrier does make it hard to communicate at times. The food was repetitive but the freshly grilled section was nice and we never went hungry. However, the buffet section in general was very busy and they couldn’t always keep up with tidying tables. For a week’s stay you get one visit to the restaurant on site and I would definitely recommend the barbecue. Lunch at the beach bar, pool bar and kingdom bar was all the same but would recommend the pizza as these are cooked fresh. Drinks were fine- 6 cocktails, local spirits and wine (if you tip you got nicer drinks in a glass.) The pools were lovely and we never had issues getting a sun lounger, in fact beds were still available at midday. The area around the pool was cleaned constantly and there was many activities throughout the day- although these were quite loud. The mini disco was fun for the children and although the evening entertainment wasn’t for us it was nice that they put it on.
Overall, this hotel was fine for our stay! If you have booked please don’t be put off by all the awful reviews and make your mind up for yourself.

Hotel is definitely not 5 I’d give it at most a 4 star, this hotel caters more for Eastern Europeans as we read many reviews that food was very good but it’s not the best breakfast is very weird and not much variety and the same everyday lunch and dinner is okay sometimes good or bad it’s really a hit or a miss to be honest, the room is small but it’s got everything you need, pool area is decent but not massive, the beach is okay no sand just rocks so hard to walk on and serves the same good everyday , the service is good and the location isn’t the best as there isn’t much to do around the hotel unless you’re wanting to get ripped off at the bazaar up the street by very rude people, I would recommend this hotel if you were looking for somewhere cheap and to get away but I wouldn’t come back
