The hotel is in an excellent location at the to of the hill overlooking Olu Deniz, the view is 5 star alone.
The staff can't do enough for you and are so friendly, and helpful.
The food is fine, not as good as last year, a bit of seasoning is all that's missing. The salads are great and there's plenty of choice of hot food. Breakfast is my favourite with the pancake lady doing eggy bread to order.
The rooms are a little tired, beautifully clean but old, the bathrooms need a big refurbishment but the shower works( just)
It was our 2nd visit so it must be doing something right

The hotel is set in quiet surroundings with beautiful views, just a 5–10 minute walk from the town of Hisarönü. The atmosphere is very relaxing.
We stayed in a family room for two adults and two teenagers. It had a double bed in one room and two single beds in a separate section divided by a door, which worked well for privacy. The rooms are basic but spacious, with a large wardrobe and a small balcony. The fridge was restocked daily, and housekeeping was provided every day. Everything was very clean.
It was very peaceful during our stay, although we visited in April, so the hotel wasn’t very busy.
The food was delicious. We stayed all-inclusive and never got bored of the meals, as there was a wide variety of dishes available each day. We didn’t feel the need to eat out at all.
The spa facilities are fantastic, and the staff there are excellent—very discreet, professional, and helpful. The restaurant staff and reception team were also very friendly and attentive.
We will definitely visit this hotel again next spring and would happily recommend it to family and friends.

Absolutely Terrible
This was easily one of the worst hotel experiences I have ever had. Staying at Orka Sunlife felt less like a vacation and more like an exercise in patience. I genuinely do not understand how this hotel manages to receive positive reviews when so many basic standards seem to be ignored.
The room was disappointing from the start. It looked worn out, poorly maintained, and nowhere near as impressive as the photos suggest. The cleanliness was questionable, and the overall condition gave the impression that management simply does not care about the guest experience. For the price paid, the room felt like a complete rip-off.
The food was equally bad. The selection may have looked large, but quantity does not make up for poor quality. Much of the food was bland, repetitive, and forgettable. By the end of the stay, meal times felt more like an obligation than something to look forward to.
The service was frustratingly poor. Staff often appeared uninterested, unhelpful, or completely overwhelmed. Simple requests took far too long, and when problems were raised, they were either brushed aside or handled with little urgency. Customer service seemed to be an afterthought.
The hotel itself was overcrowded and chaotic. Finding a place to relax was difficult because every area felt packed. Instead of providing a peaceful holiday atmosphere, the hotel often felt noisy, stressful, and poorly organized.
What annoyed me most was the gap between expectation and reality. The promotional photos and descriptions create an image of a luxury resort experience, but the actual experience fell far short of that promise. It felt like style over substance, with appearances taking priority over quality.
Overall, this hotel was a major disappointment. Poor service, mediocre food, crowded facilities, and a lack of attention to detail combined to create a stay that I would rather forget. I would not return, and I would not recommend it to anyone looking for a genuinely enjoyable holiday. Save your money and look elsewhere.

The hotel has a lot of potential, but unfortunately our experience was quite mixed.
To start on a positive note, the view was absolutely beautiful overlooking the mountains with parashoots floating peacefully in the air, which made for a really relaxing atmosphere. Most of the staff were also very friendly and attentive, always making an effort to look after guests.
That being said, the stay got off to a disappointing start. The check-in experience was very underwhelming. The receptionist seemed confused and struggled with communication, which made the whole process feel disorganised and frustrating.
After that initial experience, things didn’t improve much. We later found out that WiFi was only free in the reception area, and if you wanted access in your room, it cost £2 per person per day which felt quite outdated and inconvenient. You also need to pay for the use of the safe for the duration of your stay. On top of that, we weren’t given our wristbands at check-in, as the receptionist simply forgot, which added to the lack of professionalism.
The rooms themselves were okay, but the bedding was quite poor. The covers were essentially blankets inside sheets that kept bunching up and rolling around, making it uncomfortable to sleep. The shower was also very inconsistent switching from freezing cold to boiling hot without warning, which was far from ideal.
Food at the hotel was mediocre at best nothing particularly memorable or exciting.
One of the better aspects of the hotel was its location. It’s within a short walking distance to the strip and nearby shops, which was very convenient for getting around and exploring the area.
Overall, while there are a few positives, the negatives outweigh them and even though we had a good family time we definitely wouldn't come back again. In our opinion, this hotel feels more like a 2–3 star property at most.

We booked a holiday here between May and June of 2026 for a week, the whole time the room cleaners never came to collect our dirty and used towels and care for our room, no cleaning was done, underneath everything was thick grim and dirt that was disgusting, the rooms are a alright size but lighting is minimal to near nothing in places lime the bathroom, the bathroom when we got here was empty of soap and had no room with the door literally touching the toilet when open, doors are flimsy and shake alot even when closed but not locked, electric in our room on our headboard broke after day 2, we investigated it and it turns out they very lazily performed these electric, wires were just stuffed in the head board, wrapped up in electric tape that came apart. The pools are nice and clean but are very spaced out which I personally had a disliking to, no lifeguards were ever on duty at the pools which were very deep (up to 2 meters) yet filled with not properly supervised children, for the occupancy of the hotel there is probably no where near enough sun loungers even though when we went they would fill up with only around a 100 along with a small restraunt unable to fully hold a max capacity so be careful if you book in more touristy times like summer or easter, activities were greta however, always having something to do along with new things everyday, their entertainers are very encouraging and funny to everyone, always making everyone join in and have a good laugh, bar staff aren't talkative but are very quick, but the bar has limited options, breakfast is always the same, along with lunch (however it is much much better) dinner is always something diffrent and new each day, the location is beautiful with mountain and sea veiws, the town is very close but the sea is a fair distance away. In general the rooms are very bad but somewhat roomy (however we had a 3 person room) electrics are bad, my stuff was damaged but cleaners, they also dont properly do their jobs, foods often repetative, safety is minimal, entertainment is great so are the veiws, I would not recommend, also WiFi is more expensive then data (I use Vodafone network) and staff are ether great or lackluster
