Garcia Resort & Spa

Marin Yankov

We stayed at Garcia Hotel between August 20-23 with my family. The rooms were spacious and ideal for families. The bathroom was a bit old, but still acceptable in terms of comfort. The staff were very attentive, especially Chef Murat, who was very kind and caring towards the guests. Although the food variety was not huge, the price-quality-performance balance was quite satisfying. Overall, we were pleased with the hospitality and had a pleasant holiday experience.

The worst resort experience. Here are the details as to why: 1. They have only 1 beach shuttle for their entire guests and that 1 shuttle leaves at 1030am and comes back at 4pm. The rest of the time you need to take a taxi. Which would be fine, although annoying, but due to summer traffic taxis take 45 mintues to one hour to show up, if at all. I told the hotel staff this and told them to get more shuttles but they said it is summer and this is it and maybe they might add one more shuttle if the hotel manager approves. This has not happened. So basically you are a prisoner in the resort from 1030am to 6pm when the traffic dies down. 2. The bathrooms are moldy and smelly. I have a video but can't upload here. They changed my room and still the second room, although better, still has mold. This is supposed to be a 5 start hotel, but it is at best a 3 star. 3. The food is bland and not great. The food at the pool bar is awful! 4. At 5pm, the pool ran out of towels, and it closes at 7pm! Also the maid service does not come daily unless you call twice and ask for it. Lastly, the worst of all, and most dangerous is that the balcony does not have standard railings, so my toddler, almost 2 and weighing 28 pounds, was able to squeeze through the railing and go on the other side (which is next to the pool!). It was so scary, but luckily I was watching and caught him in time but he was still on the other side of the railing! So watch out if you have toddlers or kids who can not swim. Avoid this place and get a hotel near the beach with better reviews.

I know some people don’t trust reviews but for the love of god find yourself another hotel. This one is only good for taking a couple photos of the view and maybe jump in the pool. The bathroom has stains, black gunk and chipped tiles; the duvet has a hole in it and the floor in the room was sticky. The food is inedible and only the water out of the drinks is free - all the others charge, except for breakfast where tea and coffee are included. Overall cleanliness is very poor, there are also many flies at this location and they leave vicious bites. However, the staff member who led us to our room was nice and answered our questions.

I recently had the pleasure of staying at this lovely hotel, and I can’t say enough good things about the experience. From the moment I arrived, I was greeted with genuine warmth and hospitality that immediately made me feel at home. The hotel itself is beautifully maintained—elegant, clean, and thoughtfully decorated. The room was spacious, comfortable, with all the little touches that make a stay feel special. Every detail, from the cozy linens to the immaculate bathroom, was just right. But what truly sets this place apart is the staff especially Ahmed and Ozge. Every single person I interacted with was kind, helpful, and went above and beyond to ensure I had everything I needed. Whether it was offering local recommendations, helping with special requests, or just sharing a friendly smile, their attentiveness and professionalism were exceptional. It’s rare to find a place where both the environment and the people leave such a lasting impression. I’m already looking forward to my next visit. Highly recommend to anyone seeking comfort, charm, and outstanding service.

we stayed for 10 nights as a family of 6 3 adults 2 young teens and a child. Staff- olay & effee at reception need there own special mention as they go above and beyond my children looked forward to seeing them every day and talking about there daily adventures always mind smiling and happy to chat sorted any small issues we have that were towels that hadn't been replaced leaving us with one towel, Dovet being taken out and some pillows although we did request extra pillow other than the small bolters and one normal play requested them 3 times for us and we didn't get them but that's minor. Olay was always happy to translate when needed and they really did go above and beyond thank you. The manager of the restaurant ahmet is also lovely was always friendly and did his best to always help. There was a young blonde girl who worked the bars she always went above and beyond and made my youngest holiday with creating special drinks other than her favourite that was tinky winky I didn't catch her name witch is a shame the same as another teenage girls who worked the restaurant pool bar and 24 hour bar with dark hair. House keeping was the one thing that we felt lacked they came everyday at at one point left us with one towel no pool towels and no dovets and took the small bolster pillow however this was sorted. They come in change the bins add water and cold the cover sheet but I feel that was all. Compared to other hotels in turkey and that area of turkey it was a little disappointing.All bar staff and cup collectors, Gardners cleaners etc worked so hard with smiles. Entertainment is what you make it and very personal day time for us was lacking eve was ok but some was a little boring and there was a lack of tabel and chairs. Kids club wasn't open when we went to see for the youngest and we was staying right by it and wasn't open once that we saw. Always music playing. There is daytime activities but aren't for us and not like we are used to but it is what you make it. Mini disco is great. Beach parry you have to pay £10 per adult (over 12) and £7 per child for 4-7pm that is a disco on the beach we didn't go so can't tell you what it's like but we just felt it was money that wasn't going to be worth it . Sunday there is no entertainment as it's there day off so the do the beach party. Al e cart was out favourite just a shame its only open twice and you can only go once in your stay was the best food we had. I have allergies and I'm limited to what I can eat but managed to find things accept at breakfast my 2 very fussy older 2 also always found something all day to eat the rest of the family all ate well apart from one night out of 10. There is a little food station outside but always seemed to stop and not be restock after 8 even tho ifs open till 9 so was a little disappointing. Drinks are what you expect local spirits and beer. No battle for sunbed that was great always loads of room at the pool. Shop is very over priced and actually worked out cheaper to get a taxi to town and buy there. Lots of empty shops that are no longer there to. We had the most amazing view from our room we arrived and was missing a bed within mins one was made and brought to us. Room and bathroom was very clean when we arrived and there was no smells the whole time we was there anywhere in the room of by the pool. Was always staff busy doing cleaning and gardening making sure pool area was cleaned saw pool ph levels checked regularly. There are the most loving well looked after cats that my children adored and adored playing with even naming them. Easy to get a taxi around 230 Lyra to hisarnu and 320 to olu deniz. Overall we had a lovely holiday in a beautiful location with amazing staff. Thank you for a great experience. We have heard of has been brought by a new owner and will be having work over Winter but not sure how true but we would definitely come back if this is the case to see if. It does need so tlc and some work but had so much potential I would say it's more a 4 star all inclusive.
