The hotel is a budget 5-star, or more realistically, a 4-star.
Room: we arrived after 11 AM and were checked in right away. We had booked a Family Deluxe Pool View room and got exactly that. Yes, the room wasn’t newly renovated, but it was clean, the bed linen was fresh, and the air conditioning worked well. There were two minibars stocked with water and soda. The bathroom and towels were also clean. The only toiletries provided were hand soap and shower gel, I would have liked to have shampoo as well.
Food: the food was good. Every day there were 1 - 2 types of fish, turkey, and chicken, along with fresh, marinated, and grilled vegetables, green salads, and other appetizers. There were also fries, mashed potatoes, and rice. A wide variety of desserts was offered. Fruits included bananas, apples, pears, oranges, grapefruit, watermelon, melon, and apricots. Over the week, there were three themed dinners: Turkish night, sushi night, and seafood night. The sushi was so-so, but the Turkish and seafood nights were delicious.
You can also have lunch at the beach - fries, nuggets, burgers, pizza, and gözleme (very tasty).
Dining Area: a downside was that I saw smudges on the plates a couple of times. Tables were also not always wiped down properly.
Pool: the grounds were generally clean. Sunbeds were taken quickly, but not in a way that people would claim them and disappear for the whole day. However, be aware that the entire pool area is basically one big smoking zone. If you dislike cigarette smoke, do not come to this hotel. The same applies to the beach - it would be nice to breathe some fresh sea air there, but instead, you're surrounded by cigarette smoke.
Beach: it takes about 8-10 minutes to walk to the beach. A shuttle runs every 15 minutes approximately from 8:30 AM to 12 PM, and then from 12:30 PM to 5:30 PM. The walk itself is fine, but the road passes by a construction site and is very dusty.
Entertainment: there was evening entertainment every night. Nothing grand, but it was decent.
I’m deducting 1 point for minor cleanliness issues in the dining area and the dusty road to the beach, and 2 points for the pervasive smoking, which you simply can’t escape.

I had an amazing stay at this hotel! From the moment I arrived, the staff was incredibly welcoming. overall atmosphere was calm and relaxing.
One of the highlights of my stay was their vitamin bar, it was honestly one of the best I’ve ever experienced. They offered a wide variety of fresh juices, smoothies, milkshakes packed with nutrients and flavor. It was the perfect way to start the day, and stay refreshed
The staff over there were all so sweet and welcoming
Special thanks to Ahmet, highly professional and the sweetest he made us feel like we're at home, nothing we asked for was difficult to do!
they made us special fresh mixes tailored to our taste, whether we were by the pool side or by the beach the vitamin bar was our go-to option everyday
Highly recommend this hotel and i'll definitely be coming back!

Room was okay standard, however, our room was on the ground floor in the separate hotel block at the front of the hotel. The bar man Denis at this pool was amazing. However, we booked an A’la carte Italian meal which you get 1 meal per stay, and this was shocking. We turned up for our booking with our receipt to be told there is not booking and they are fully booked. We got messed around to go back up to reception and then back down to the restaurant multiple times which this never got resolved. They said they had a power cut which resulted in our booking being wiped off the system. They did not try their best to accommodate us at all, instead just told us to speak to guest relations in the morning. Spoke to guest relation who could only offer us a decorative table at the main restaurant the following night! Also the animation here is poor

1. Rooms – 3/5
The rooms are fairly standard – decent-sized, with comfortable enough beds and a good-sized bathroom. However, they fall well short of a 5-star standard. The TV in our room was very outdated, and the Wi-Fi was barely functioned. There were visible cracks on the walls and in the bathroom. On a positive note, the bathroom was stocked with handwash and shower gel, which were topped up daily, and it was reasonably clean. Our balcony was dusty and clearly not maintained well.
2. Services – 2/5
The service left a lot to be desired. Bar staff were extremely rude, and it was clear the bars were understaffed, leading to slow and poor service. Some staff members struggled with English, which made communication difficult, although others were kind and helpful. The lobby area had potential, but parts of it felt tacky – such as the random bazaar-style shops placed next to the bar. Surprisingly, the Wi-Fi didn’t work well even in the lobby. The pool was clean and well-maintained, though very busy, which is understandable. The gym, however, was extremely run-down and in need of major updates. Some parts of this hotel is in need of much work.
3. Location – 3.5/5
The location is decent – a bus stop is nearby, and the beach is a 10-minute ride away with a free shuttle service provided, which was very convenient. Unfortunately, the proximity to a construction site made the area quite dusty and less pleasant.
4. Food - 3/5
Food was good overall, was clean and well kept. However felt repetitive at times, but wasnt a major issue for us. The fruit choices and salad choices were amazing. They also offer a dining experince at the resturant twice during the stay, this was honestly awful. It was an Italian 3 course meal, and was really one to miss.
Overall, id really call for this hotel to have its 5 star claim to be checked. I had stayed in plently of better 4 star hotels which were much better, feels more like a 3 STAR SERVICE

The location and the rooms are gonna fill the expectations. We didn’t go out much because you can find everything in your hotel anyways. I just wanted to make a special shout out to Ahmet and his cousins who are running the vitamin bars around the pool and on the beach. They have been impeccable! I couldn’t recommend them enough…
