This is our 4th time at this hotel. For us we absolutely love it. The staff are very friendly and go out of there way to help you with anything. The entertainment team are fantastic. Location is stunning with mountain views all around. Hotel very clean. For a cheap holiday this is a great choice.

My husband and I stayed at this hotel for our first trip to Turkey and they certainly made it an amazing holiday. The hotel was very clean, with the housekeeping staff on the ball at all times of the day. The food was perfect lots of choices and a outside chef who made awesome omelettes and pancakes for breakfast and was also there for snack times cooking fresh what you wanted rather than it just laid out to help yourself. The entertainment team were second to none. Thank you to Gizmo and Gadget and the girls, we never stopped laughing. They don't just organise the activities they join in the fun, not complaining when they get dunked or soaked at water aerobics or volleyball. They made a point of getting to know everyone and knew your name and what you joined in with. The evening entertainment was also amazing, we had shows that belonged in a 4* plus hotel and events with the team. The seats were always full because of them. We are hopefully going back in October to meet up with the fantastic crowd that we met there. Can't wait. If you are looking for a great hotel, give this one a look.

We are currently staying in this Hotel, the rooms are basic but clean, so can not fault them. The majority of staff are not friendly and not particularly helpful. This Hotel is described as a family run small hotel, this is not the case, it's quite large, and the amenities can not cope , the pool is not big enough to accommodate the amount of people, and if you want a sunbed you had better be prepared to be up at 6.30 at the latest. To get your food you have to walk around a very small island, this again does not work as it's to small to accommodate the surge of people who want their food. On the reviews it says how amazing Gizmo and Gadget are (the entertainment team )........don't know what to say really, the entertainment is very poor, and VERY repetitive. Fully inclusive, ice creams are available at 8pm....What's that all about ??? We knew this Hotel was out of the main places, but we're told you can walk to Hisaranou, you can't. I have NEVER been to a hotel in all my years where sunbed wars is actually shocking. One more positive is the breakfast chef who does the pancakes is lovely. My advice to anyone looking at coming to this Hotel is don't or come in low season.

My daughter and I had 2 weeks at this beautiful hotel! All employees of this place are amazing! The bar staff, the restaurant staff, the pool guys and the entertainment team! But the biggest shout out goes to the room maids! Our room maid was the most beautiful soul. So kind and so friendly. Nothing was too much trouble and our room was umacualte when she had been in! With beautiful towel sculptures left on our beds. Such a happy soul. My daughter wanted to adopt her! 🤣

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Holiday Review – July 2025 (A little late writing this review, but I don’t usually write reviews – this holiday was so good I had to!) --- Hotel & Rooms Yel Holiday Resort is the best all-inclusive 3* family hotel I’ve stayed in for many years. Rooms were very clean. Maids did a fantastic job – beds made and fresh towels daily. On arrival, we had a litre of bottled water in the fridge, which was very much appreciated after a late-night flight in hot weather. --- Food & Restaurant The food was excellent – always fresh, hot, and with plenty of choice every day. Omelettes and fried eggs cooked to order in the mornings. Grilled meats and burgers freshly made most evenings. Always a good selection of salads,desserts available. Restaurant staff were friendly and helpful. --- Bar & Drinks Great bar service with a wide selection of drinks. The staff worked hard to keep queues down during busy times. Special mention to Servet, a waiter who was always smiling and took the time to chat with my daughters and making them laugh. --- Entertainment The entertainment was the highlight of the holiday! Daily activities included pool gym, darts, and games. Evenings (except Sundays) started with a kids’ mini disco, followed by a show or karaoke. The entertainment team was amazing – Gadget and Gizmo kept everyone laughing, always smiling and making sure all guests felt included. --- Atmosphere Guests were from many different countries, but everyone was made to feel welcome. It was a very friendly hotel with a great family vibe. --- Negatives Only a couple of downsides: The pool area is small for the number of guests, and getting a sunbed was very difficult. By 7am they were all gone – I even had to set an alarm, which I never usually do on holiday. Some people left towels all day without using the beds, which was frustrating. Reception staff were hit and miss – some helpful, but one younger staff member was not very friendly or helpful. I wish ice cream was served in the afternoon rather than the evening. Most people would prefer it during the day when it’s hot, instead of after dinner. --- Local Area Lots to see and do nearby if you want to explore: Bars and shops just down the hill. A nice walk (about 45 minutes) or a short dolmus ride to Hisaronu, which has a market on Mondays. We also visited Fethiye by dolmus – it’s too far to walk, but only a short ride and definitely worth it. The market there is huge compared to Hisaronu’s. --- Overall Would I recommend this hotel? Yes – 100%! We had a brilliant time and would happily return.
