Eftalia Ocean Hotel

Kieran Glennon

Rooms where nice, asked for room upgrade and was charged £200 gbp and then my friends also upgraded their room to next door and were only charged £100 when questioned reception about this they told me it was just the price system and wouldn’t really give a good explanation. Staff are friendly but can be rude and will not go out of their way to help, I tried to take a empty bowl to the room for my son to make him noodles as he is a fussy eater and was told I am not allowed and if I want a bowl I must go and purchase one myself out of a shop! The staff on the island are much more friendly than the staff in the hotel I would say. It was raining for 2 days while we was there and everything was shut, from the slides to the food stands. Finally on the day of checkout I left my trainers and jacket on the balcony to dry due to it raining the day before and when I went to retrieve my items they had gone. I informed reception and asked if the maid had moved them or placed them into lost property and they couldn’t care less as I was checking out that day they simply said they have no time to check as they have other things to do. The drinks are not very nice I understand sometimes you can pay to get the better alcohols but it was €8 for a single Smirnoff vodka. There are only 4 lifts to the top floor and 2 were broken for the full 10 days I stayed. The food for tea is appalling everyday. Would highly recommended to stay away from this hotel and if you do stay make sure to lock everything away as they will take what they can out of the rooms. Would definitely chose another hotel. Please please don’t make the same mistake I did.

The food, staff, and hotel have been amazing. The hotel is so clean. There are so many different pools for all the family. Slides for everyone to enjoy. We have seen families, couples, and people on his/her own enjoying the resort. We couldn't recommend this hotel enough. The food caters for as many nationalities as possible. I don't even like slides and enjoyed ourselves, no end. Thank you to all the staff for making our holiday a lifelong memory.

An hour's drive from Antalya Airport if by private transfer.....even longer if on coach due to many stops. Hotel, excellent. Good, fab. Service, brilliant. The whole family loved this place as an ideal relaxation and chill....even the younger ones relaxed instead of running round. The downside.....the walls between rooms are thin. A few nights we didn't sleep well due to over zealous noisy room neighbours ....children AND adults. Banging doors will be clearly heard in your own apartment. But if this happens and a friendly chat does not work, go to the main lobby and speak to a member of staff at the reception desk. Managers policy is that all guests sold be mindful and respectful of neighbours and noise level. The beds are VERY firm too. The oldest child struggled to sleep as the mattress was too hard for him, so we placed many spare large towels and spare bedsheets under the mattress cover which did the trick

Positives; Great water slides for kids Large dining areas Lots of bars Pretty much Next to the beach Good options for food Very kid friendly Room upgrades were amazing Room Cleaning was amazing Free safe Easy to book trips/excursions Negatives; - slides sometimes didn't open at 10am, other times pools were closed (can only assume this was due to kids not being potty trained so not the hotels fault) - Food got quite repetitive after a week All inclusive is just confusing. - Spirits at hotel bar - Jet 2 bar between 20.00-22.00? - only beer and soft drinks at others bars are included but you can buy spirits... - the 24hr burger land isn't 24 hr, it's closed when the main restaurant is open. - the pickup for the excursions was just chaos. We weren't even sure we got on the right bus (these are independent though not affiliated with the hotel) - constant heckling from everyone is annoying but just seems to be the norm. - walls in the apartment are paper thin. - swim up pools didn't get the sun so we're cold, also not kid friendly (1.4m with nothing to grab on the far side walls)

The walls are very thin so bring your earplugs. My room is cleaned several times in the 8 days I've been there and not once is my bed changed, toilet cleaned or shower cleaned. Also the internet is bad everywhere. The hotel is great for children with the slides but can be very hectic with all the children around. For adults that go alone to relax it's not a good place to escape the noise. It's also 2 hours away from the airport and not much to do around. But also good things like it is a great place for children, you can eat alot of different food.
