The location of this hotel isn’t too bad although the surrounding area is a bit run down. The atmosphere is ok and the staff work hard. The rooms aren’t to bad but aren’t very noise proof. The food in the restaurant is very disappointing with breakfast lunch and dinner being the same every day. Cleanliness isn’t to bad. Service is ok apart from the Spa staff who are very insistent and don’t take no for an answer. The amenities are average and if it’s raining there isn’t a lot of space for everyone inside
The staff are mostly all very nice, friendly & welcoming. They work very hard & on occasion have to deal with rude customers with no manners. Please or Thank you isn’t hard, but shoving 3 fingers up in their face & shouting ‘beer’ isn’t acceptable.
The general condition of the hotel is good and clean. The cleaners are always cleaning the public areas.
The spa sales men constantly harass you for massages & find it hard to accept no for an answer.
The food is the biggest let down for us. It’s the exact same food for breakfast, lunches & dinners. Nothing exciting & we have eaten outside the hotel a few times. The food is tailored for Germans, Russians & polish. They have plates of it. It needs to cater for more International. Having chicken nuggets, chips & onion rings on offer at breakfast, lunch & dinner is as far as International or British, it gets.
The à la carte is supposed to be unlimited. We tried booking the Italian for a 2nd time, and we were told ‘but you’ve already been there’. We wanted to try the Eastern à la carte but it’s only open 2 nights a week, as is the fish restaurant. The Italian is open 5 nights & im unsure how often the Turkish is open. The Italian is very nice & a huge welcome from the main restaurant. I noticed some people go there every night it’s open. They also take large bookings, which limits those who que first thing to book as it’s already full from the day before.
The pool areas are nice, also kept clean and tidy. The pool is very cold.
The waffles at the snack bar are delicious. There is also a selection of ice pillows in the fridge. The snack bar food is ordered from a QR code. The food is delivered to your table quickly and again, the staff are friendly.
The inside bar only has a cocktail menu, but will make any cocktail you ask.
Overall it’s a nice hotel. I wouldn’t agree it’s a 5* platinum (TUI) and it’s pushing it on Ultra All Inclusive. I have been to much better 4* all inclusive hotels that offer more than this hotel.
I won’t be returning or recommending, sorry!
Room 7427. We found it quiet and more than adequate The room safe is free of charge as idcthe mini bar. Stocked with soft drinks only. Found all the staff amazing. Housekeeping to bar staff. Food was fine. The snack bar by the beach is really good ( pics from there) Short walk into town. Only gripe would be amount of bar staff. At the beach if entertainment is on. Two bar staff. Big queue so people doubling you on drinks. We always ended up in the downstairs bar with Naci. Room extension 15 euro per hr.

I had a wonderful experience at this hotel! The atmosphere was relaxing, the staff were friendly and welcoming, and everything was well taken care of. The spa was a highlight of my stay, and the massage was absolutely amazing. It was so relaxing and helped me feel refreshed and rejuvenated. The therapist was professional and attentive, making the whole experience even more enjoyable.
Overall, a fantastic stay with excellent spa services. I would definitely recommend this hotel to anyone looking for comfort, relaxation, and a little pampering. I would love to come back again and big thank you to Martin one of the best guy Spa team.
