2nd time I have visited this hotel Hakan is the best helps with everything kids have had a fantastic 2 weeks can't wait to return next year
Worst holiday so far
Always go to marmaris so wanted to try some were different when looking at holidays in Antalya this hotel kept coming up 1st reviews wasn’t that bad apart from a few how I wished I’d of listened, 1st big shout out to Alex hotel manager he was great couldn’t do enough for you, our room was great big room for 2 of us pools were ok apart from people reserving sun beds middle of the night, if you like cats great the hotel has loads roaming free all over hotel including in dining room and your room they are friendly to be fair mostly kittens, the food is hit and miss and none of it is labelled so it’s a guessing game what your eating, breakfast is rank apart from freshly made omelettes, this hotel is in the middle of nowhere we’re unless your prepared to walk miles or get Taxie regularly like we did or do tours then forget going out, Saturday market was only good thing about this hotel it’s at the end of the road,and the dining room isn’t big enough every meal time we had to share a table with someone Elsa you can sit upstairs for meals but you have to carry your food upstairs by then it’s cold, and the hotel don’t really cater for English it’s full of Germans who were arrogant and pushed there way in at meal times or pushed in front of you half way round, and if you need to hire a mobility scooter forget it no we’re in side Antalya hires them Out lucky for us Alex sorted a 4 wheel push along which did the job but still couldn’t go far, next year marmaris all the way for us will never return to Antalya

Excellent hotel, value for money. Staff very nice, from the reception to the bar very good people, always there to help. Memet, Ali, Schebo and Unal Kisa 👌. The hotel manager Alex is a gentleman. Be aware if your booking through travel agencies that they’re reps will sell you day trips but we learned it’s much more honest and slightly cheaper to book through the hotel. Thanks Alex and team for a lovely week in the sun 👍
Never Again
We couldn't wait to leave this hotel of I'mbeing truly honest.. No hot water for three days so we had to strip wash, all we kept getting told was water would be restored soon, it wasnt!. Fantastic power shower but not nice in cold water. Not nice for women who are having women's cycles if they cant have a hot or warm shower. Can't fault the room for cleanliness and fridge clean and theres an ice compartment in the top, so take ice cube tray. Most of the staff were friendly few exceptions. Food was so boring, same every day more or less, several people said the same, no variation day to day, we spent more time eating out so adding that to our initial cost we may aswell gone to a 5* from the start. Desserts look colorful but all tasted the same. While you're eating staff will walk around continuously staring while waiting for you to finish so they can whisk your plate away. Like being in a prison dining area with wardens patrolling. Would I stay here again ? No !! . Would I recommend to anyone ? No !!. Also bare in mind this is a cat hotel so you will have cats walking around freely and sometimes in the dining area, didnt bother us as its no different to going in a cafe in UK and seeing a dog. If you need English channels you can change language via remote. Go to languages and audio and press clean and Bein movies and BBC nature programs will be in English. You can also turn subtitles off here aswell. We had a good size balcony with a table and chairsand there is a washing line with a few pegs outside the balcony. So might be worth bringing few extra pegs you can leave here. Towels arent massive and you need your own towel for sunbeds. If you like drinking from mugs bring your own as they are small cups in the kitchen in the room or buy 2 cheap ones and leave them. We slept well but for a couple of nights there was someone talking loud until 4.30 am in the next room and someone was dragging furniture about. Also be aware there is the morning calling prayer at 6am and other times of day, sounds nice but its early if you get to sleep through it you're lucky. This Hotel wasnt for us, and before anyone makes a comment remember we are all different with different expectations and we feel this Hotel didnt meet ours.
Gem of a.place - Highly recommend it
Loved it - while its not as grand looking as some of the other places, Catty Cats was excellently located 5 minutes from Side down town, and the removed were beautifully clean, well equipped - the bedding was fresh and clean and we were surprised that our sheets were being changed/cleaned daily. The Mosque started prayers in the morning at 6 sometimes but that added to the charm. We also had and didn't expect a kettle and fridge and there's a well stocked shop onsite for milk and bits bit also an amazing shop opposite the Mosque and which is also where there's a large Saturday market. Most people staying are German but the staff spoke English very well. Lots of lovely kittens on site who look well looked after. My son loved the pool and the slide, and we never ventured much to the beach as we enjoyed our time in the gardens. I've not tried all inclusive before and I found it OK - There's plenty of choice, and it varied a little between days. The breakfasts and dinners were better. The bar is mostly some type of Pepsi or a typical tapped larger beer. The eating area is a little school dinner like but to be honest I wouldn't want to spend more on that aspect of the holiday as there was lots of places eat while we were out and the hotel just have us more options to stay by the pool or to grab breakfast or lunch before heading off. There's a room to store luggage so despite our checkout being noon, we were able to spend the whole day there and eat as our flight wasn't until 2am. So there are a few negative reviews about the place, about cleanliness and food hygiene and that wasn't our experience. The rooms could not have been cleaner or better and the food while not hugely exciting was better than I expected. I think more expensive hotels may have grander outside, bigger pools or larger lobbies but I think the rooms in the best places would have been no better that Cats.
