Beautiful place , hotel and food is great although there is a lot of Russians and is better to stay at hotel as in the city they all want your money. My daughter was approached by some weirdo who was apparently some boss son. Not the best experience for me and my family overall. Spain is much better .

Just had a 5-night holiday with two young children 3 and 6 in late October 2024. What I like about this place: 1. WiFi available on beach (but the coverage is not great) 2. Great view 3. Good ice cream and milkshake from 1100 to 1800 everyday. 4. There is real coffee from the coffee corner 5. The hotel offers a good value one day boat trip to some great places to swim and casual dive. 6. There is a path by the beach - great for relaxed and quiet walks to two nearby towns. 7. Take away from food court is handy. What I dislike about this place 1. Quality of food is not very consistent - two dinners basic and nothing special and two dinners above average. 2. There is a long queue everyday during dinner time. 2. No food between 2100 and 2300. 3. Gym closes at 2100 and opens at 0900. No chance for a morning or evening workout. 4. Uncomfortable beds and pillows 5. Kids club is basic and can only take 4+ 6. Lots of mosquitoes by the three outdoor pools. Overall, will I recommend this place to friends? This place is not perfect but can be shortlisted. Will I return in the future? Probably no.

We had a fantastic week at this hotel, visiting at the end of the season with our two children. It is quite a shady spot, so I imagine in very hot weather it is perfect, but at the end of the season the pools were quite cold. However, the sea was lovely for swimming and there is a good indoor pool with a great Turkish spa. Some reviews don’t rate the food, but we thought it was fab. Loads of choice, all cooked well and very tasty. When it’s busy the buffet area could be quite crowded. The rooms were clean and comfortable, and our bathroom looked like it had recently been re-done. Great shower. There isn’t a beach, so for young children there isn’t an option for playing on the sand and paddling. We didn’t use the kids’ club but it didn’t look very inspiring when we visited. Entertainment in the amphitheatre was ok but not much on as end of season. Imagine it’s much better in height of summer. We opted for the Asian meal as our a la carte option - I strongly recommend not to do this as it was quite bad. Of course we should have gone for Turkish in Turkey! Staff were kind and attentive, the kids loved our waitress Eva. Overall we loved this hotel and would recommend.

Beautiful location, clean and tidy, as a veggie/pescatarian I loved the food, so much choice, the salads are devine. Always somewhere to sit on the beach/pier. Saw some fab acrobatic shows and enjoyed the boat trip from the hotel. Hotel a bit old fashioned but that's not an issue for us. Our grandson had a wicked time. We would return. Would be great if the hotel could supply reusable cups and water chillers rather than water in plastic bottles.

First time here, in fact last day. The place closes sometime next week but it's still a busy place. So, good points, the staff are exceptional. So friendly and helpful, I can't say enough about them and they certainly contributed to a great holiday. The Garden Bungalow we had was clean and comfortable with a safe and a stocked fridge at no charge. Our room was cleaned and there are fresh towels every day. The extras of free ice cream, cookies, iced coffee, milkshakes, bubble tea, hot coffee etc also added to the experience. The jetty to sunbathe was brilliant and the barman was always running up and down and along the beach with cold drinks, exceptional. The food, well hats off to the chefs who produced an excellent menu every day and if there wasn't something there to your taste then I'd be surprised but I guess there will be one. At the foot of the hotel is a footpath that goes to Icmelor one way and Marmaris the other. Or buses run every 10 minutes at a cost of 30 lira each. Bad points, none tbh tho I'm sure if I wanted to search I would find some. Everything you need is here if you don't want to venture out. Oh, one thing, please tip, the staff all work their socks off for very little pay (wages are low in this country) so give them a boost when you can, £1.00 goes a long way.
