Very nice 👌

Great atmosphere and staff, was greeted on my first day and helped with bags by a young lad called arrsven from reception (not sure how to spell apologies) who although we had a bit of a language barrier, he made sure to go above and beyond his colleagues in ensuring we were happy, comfortable, greeted with a smile always and he translated with his phone rather than avoiding conversation throughout our stay. Very kind, patient, hardworking and good staff. Thoroughly enjoyed the included 24/7 non-alcoholic cocktails especially summer breeze and the variety of food and fun offerings. Regular shuttles to the beach, rent a car transfers available and multiple pools. Good amenities, options and comfort, only negative was some things needed maintenance in the rooms and some bottles of soaps, and shampoo that had been missed from being refilled repeatedly.

Great hotel…. Staff were lovely, pool loungers were the most comfortable, views are stunning, beds comfy, rooms a little dated but clean. Breakfast has good choice. WiFi was good.

It was a horrible experience!!! The hotel rooms were extremely outdated. It smelled damp & mildew. We felt extremely uncomfortable from the moment we walked in, but we tried to make it work. We went down to the front desk and asked for a corkscrew for our wine bottle. They recommended we just bring it down to the bar and have them open it, so we did once we got out there they opened it. We asked for glasses, the young lady put two glasses on our table and we ordered drinks from the bar. A waiter came over and told us it was forbidden to drink outside drinks, but apparently we could drink in our tight smelly room. We were unaware because all of the workers prior to him instructed us to go out to the bar and even gave us glasses. But we were okay with that. We corked our wine and waited for the drinks from the bar. A while later, the owner came over EXTREMELY HOSTILE and yelled. “We must take your bottle and give it to the front desk. You can get it when you go back to your room.” We didn’t understand because we weren’t drinking it anymore. But it made us extremely uncomfortable because of the way he was coming off. They took the wine and we weren’t interested in getting that back from hostile strangers. We did not even stay that night. We went to our room searched for a different place and went to THE AMAZING LIMAK LARA!! Coming from the USA this was not a safe or welcoming experience after traveling across the country. I would definitely NOT RECOMMEND!
