My family and I recently stayed at this hotel and had a wonderful experience overall. The location is perfect, the rooms are clean, and there’s an impressive variety of food, fruits, and drinks available throughout the day. The restaurants and bars around the resort, especially Saadabad, are beautifully located and create a very relaxing atmosphere.
The entertainment team deserves special praise — they’re young, energetic, and super friendly. The live music was top-notch, and the shows every night were fun, engaging, and suitable for all ages. The entertainment overall was one of the main highlights of the hotel and made sure there was something for everyone to enjoy.
On the downside, the bed mattresses were not very comfortable, and a few of the restaurant or bar staff (only a small number) seemed unhappy with their job and showed a bit of attitude, which might be due to language barriers making communication harder.
I would like to give special thanks to Mr. Onur , who mainly worked at Lalezar Bar in the evenings , he was truly one of the best staff members I encountered. Also, a big thank you to the team at Divan Restaurant on September 27, who made my father’s birthday an unforgettable and very special evening for our family. They were extremely professional and kind.
My only suggestion would be to slightly improve the food quality at Divan Restaurant — everything else was excellent.
Overall, it was a very enjoyable stay, and I would definitely recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a fun, lively, and relaxing vacation experience.

First of all, I would like to sincerely thank the hotel management for their kindness. Even though it was not part of their obligation, they generously allowed us to check in early at 10 a.m. and provided us with two rooms. This meant a lot to me, as my parents are elderly and truly needed some rest. On top of that, we were also invited to enjoy breakfast, which was a lovely gesture.
I would definitely recommend this hotel and want to express my heartfelt gratitude to the entire staff for their constant kindness and warm smiles. You created a wonderful and memorable experience for me and my family.

I recently visited this resort with my family for my daughters first birthday in April. I read a lot of mixed reviews before booking this hotel but I’m so happy I picked this place to stay for our family holiday. I can definitely see why this is a 5 star resort.
The room was a standard comfort room for a family of 3 but was extremely spacious. There was a place to sit and watch tv in the room and not just a bed. The staff for housekeeping were so lovely and pleasant. The whole resort was really clean. The cleanliness of the room was really good too.
The food was a little bit repetitive however, the quality of the food was very good. A huge variety of different foods that caters to different cuisines suitable for children too. The fruit was extremely fresh, we had the most gorgeous decadent strawberries!
The staff were overall just so attentive and friendly which made the experience that much more lovely. More than one way to exit and enter the resort which is convenient. We were 10 mins away from the local strip of shops and cafes. Lots of other hotels nearby too. 10 mins from land of legends which was nice.
I would definitely book to come back here again!

We recently spent 5 wonderful days at Swandor Hotel & Resorts Topkapi Palace with our family, and it was a truly enjoyable experience. This 5-star all-inclusive resort offers everything you could ask for — from multiple swimming pools and a relaxing spa to a Turkish bath and sauna. Since it’s a beachfront property, you can easily choose between spending your day by the pool or enjoying the crystal-clear sea.
The hotel’s design is inspired by the famous Topkapi Palace, which gives it a unique and elegant atmosphere. It really feels like you’re stepping into a modern version of Ottoman grandeur.
The staff members deserve special praise — they were always friendly, attentive, and well-organized, making our stay smooth and pleasant. The restaurants offer a wide variety of delicious food and drinks, ensuring that everyone can find something they love at any time of the day.
Overall, Swandor Hotel & Resorts Topkapi Palace is a fantastic choice for families and couples alike. The value for money is excellent — especially compared to similar resorts in the area.

It was very nice. But I have stayed at all inclusive hotels in other places and they were outstanding. That’s why I can’t give this hotel a 5 star all across, I know it can be better.
The workers were all very nice people, the variety of food at the buffet is probably the best part, delicious food and even though it’s packed, the layout works, they have repeat stations of certain items so that people aren’t piled up trying to get one thing, there is something for everyone’s dietary needs and it was very delicious. Plenty of tables so there’s always a clean place to sit. I liked that they had a baby food station which is very thoughtful when you’re trying to feed a baby but I would also appreciate alternative milks like lactose free or almond milk.
Things that need improvement:
The shops are way too expensive. We spent more on diapers here than we have anywhere else. Obviously profiting on basic needs. If they wanted to be expensive for clothing or luxuries that would be something else but sunblock and diapers? Those are basic needs. The barber shop, I know they may be an independent shop but the hotel should ensure the staff is following their opening times. They are never open at the time listed on their signs. Their card machine didn’t work so my husband had to get cash and the next day he went back at 9 to pay and they didn’t open for a whole extra hour. That was the day we were supposed to leave and we were just waiting for them to open so we could pay. That is gambling with people’s time and we are not trying to get a surprise bill later if we left.
A list of what’s included when you check in. We had to ask and even then we didn’t know what shows would be on and when. A program for entertainment would be nice. They didn’t have it listed on their app either.
The beach and playground were filthy. Trash, old bandages, cigarettes, napkins were all mixed into the sand and by the playground. That looked very unsightly. This was early in the morning too so it’s obviously not cleaned early.
Other than that the drinks were great, the rooms not very spacious but comfortable, great assortment of free snacks and drinks in the mini bar, and plenty of pools and sun beds.
The AC, we were there in October, so obviously much cooler weather. The AC was struggling to cool the bedroom down, I couldn’t imagine what it would be like in July and August, we ended up opening the balcony door for better, cooler air at night which I’m sure it’s not so nice in the summer.
Overall, we would stay again but I hope they work on improving certain things. It’s a good deal for the price.
