The three onsite bars and restaurants provide drinks and snacks throughout the day as well as, all for a truly relaxing escape.
This was our first time staying at an adults only hotel, and it was absolutely fantastic.
The food was excellent with plenty of choice every day. We especially loved the fresh BBQ, fish and shrimp that were cooked to order. The drinks were great too, with a really good selection of beers, cocktails and other options throughout our stay.
Our room was lovely, and the whole hotel was spotless. We also really appreciated the little touch of having the minibar stocked with fresh beers every day.
The best part of the holiday, though, was the staff. Every single person was friendly, welcoming and happy to help. The animation team were brilliant and made the days so much fun. While my partner relaxed by the pool, I joined in with the volleyball, shooting and darts, which were all great fun.
A special mention has to go to Çağdaş, who was always full of energy and did a fantastic job of getting everyone involved and making sure people were having a good time.
We had an amazing holiday and would definitely come back next year. Highly recommended!
Arrived late afternoon on 26 June for our 16 night holiday.
Check in was swift, cold drinks offered, and a "Welcome Back" greeting was appreciated. We had booked a Deluxe Suite this time which was lovely and spacious. Towel art, wine, fruit and little cakes awaited us, which was a nice touch. Very comfortable sun Loungers on the wrap around balcony plus 2 chairs and a table.
The room was comfortable with a separate living area, sofa and another TV. Well stocked fridge which included soft drinks, sparkling and still water, beers and lagers. Some snacks were left too, but not every day..a coffee machine and a kettle, cups, glasses and teaspoons and bottle opener. So, short of nothing. Yay. Wasn't over keen on the glass partitioned bathroom, 40 year Anniversary or not, we all like a little privacy. Room kept tidy, and housekeeping were friendly and efficient.
Views were absolutely breathtaking.
The food was excellent, breakfast at Sunrise Restaurant on -2 was so good Choice of food was enough for even the fussiest of eaters. Omelette station is outside, and they are very good. Inside you have a choice of eggs cooked many ways, yoghurt of many flavours, breads, fruits, cereals, jams, juices, cold meat and cheeses. You are served by the friendliest of waiters, all remember what you have. 1 coffee, 1 chai, 2 champagne, 2 still waters. Every day these were brought without a second prompt. Applause for these hard working people.✨️✨️
Cannot comment on lunch we didn't take lunch, just strolled down to the Beach Bar at 3pm for the freshly made Gozleme, absolutely lusharama. Do not miss these. Sitting at the Beach Bar at 3pm until 4.30 just watching the world go by, couple of G and T's, oh yeah, holidays are meant to be like this.
Sunset Restaurant for evening meal. Again, superb, theme nights were so good, especially the Mexican evening. Food was always of good quality, good choice and presented with flair. My only gripe..please provide crackers for cheese. Please.
The a 'la carte restaurants are worth visiting, the food is beautiful. The menu is really diverse, and we were blown away by the Fish Menu. Try the Sea Breeze hot starter...oh wow.
Kedir and Ali who serve at the a la cartes are titans who work their socks off keeping guests happy. Truly "First Class" service. Thank you. ♥️
The animation team were lovely, friendly and all worked hard, but the one who deserves a BIG "SHOUT OUT" is Alexandria. She had the personality and charisma that just made everyone smile. Her morning and afternoon Dart matches just drew more and more guests in, and all you could hear was laughter. She is an asset and it was a privilege to have met her. Sending love to you gorgeous girl.
There is plenty to keep everyone occupied from darts and boules, to aqua aerobics and pirates, to rifle shooting and archery. Plus a fun park next door, with mini golf and aqua slides, and a little bar too.
Elena at Guest Relations is helpful and courteous, she will always help if possible.
All in all, a lovely holiday at a really good hotel. It does need some updating, there are areas that need some work, the rooms are a little tired, and areas are a little gloomy, but nothing that detracts from all the many positives.
I highly recommend, and would certainly return.
Thank you all for a lovely holiday.
Until next time.
Shirley and Tony Room 7420. ♥️
This hotel was amazing, all the little details made extra special from cleanliness to cold towels and frozen drinks handed out at the beach. The view from our room wasn’t great I had paid extra for a sea view but because we were on floor 0 this was obscured by trees. The staff at this hotel are second to none they work so hard making sure your stay is memorable. A special shout out to Eyvas who looked after us at breakfast and lunch, Eren at dinner and Burcu at the sailor bar. I would recommend putting still water in the fridges that around the hotel as not everyone likes sparkling water. I would recommend staying here you will not be disappointed.
Visited in July 2026 with friends. Arrived in early hours of the morning and had a speedy checkin. Upgraded free of charge to a suite! There is a bar with 24 hour freshly prepared food which was very welcome!
The whole hotel is spotless and well maintained, and every member of staff we encountered was friendly, professional and a credit to the hotel. Their hard work really made our holiday special.
No issues getting sunbeds round the pool. Each morning at 10am they play their own hotel song which sets you up for the day!
A special mention to Cagas from the animation team who runs the archery and air rifle activities (amongst others). He was enthusiastic, funny and all round nice guy, making the hotel enjoyable for all.
Another standout member of staff was the bartender on rollerblades round the pool. Watching him work was incredible—he tirelessly delivered drinks all day with a smile on his face, despite the heat which reached 39 degrees some days! His energy and dedication really added to the high level of service at the hotel.
Drinks were excellent for an all inclusive hotel. Premium brands and made to order. Endless cocktail list.
The food was of a good standard with plenty of choice, although it is worth noting that only one à la carte meal is included per holiday. It would have been nice if there had been the option to include more than one during our stay.
We had a massage and hammam at the spa which was excellent and worth a visit.
Was slightly worried about previous reviews stating that the hotel catered more towards the elder clientele. Whilst it is true there were older people there, there were also plenty of young people too. It is also true the guests are predominantly German, but there were also plenty of Brits and other nationalities and all the staff spoke English and it was nice to have a mix of nationalities!
Overall, we had a wonderful holiday and would happily return. Thank you to all the staff at the Commodore Elite Suites & Spa for making our stay so enjoyable. Your hard work and excellent service are a credit to the hotel.
Just got back today after an amazing 10 day holiday at Commodore Suites. We were here 2 years ago and am so pleased to say that they have stuck with their exceptionally high standards, the staff are so hard working and helpful, that is all the way through from reception ,bar staff,dining staff &pool staff even the gardeners are pleasant!! Alexandria & the entertainment crew get everybody involved and the shows on the evening are brilliant , but I must give Il Divo a special mention as they were outstanding. The food is top quality & always something great to be had even if your a picky eater like myself! Only a very slight moan & that is the German guests seem to get more preference over the British, which is possibly a little harsh as approximately 75% were German guests whilst we were there.
