Sundia By Liberty Oludeniz

Just returned from Sundia. The staff are amazing and work extremely hard, very attentive. Shout out to Chrissy, Ramazan and the guy at the adult pool bar who go over and above! The rooms are spotless clean, and the hotel is set in beautiful grounds with an adult only pool. Evening entertainment was good. The White Party was the best! There is a lot of choice when it comes to food, but the quality isn’t great. Can be slow at replenishing dishes. We expected far better and people we met who were returners did comment on how it’s not as good this year as previous years. It’s a shame really as this could be a really great hotel particularly due to the hotel grounds and location. The Efes beer was disappointing, we let staff know that it was very flat and seemed to be worse out of the plastic glasses. This left us with no other options because we don’t drink spirits or cocktails. We’ve stayed in far better hotels for the price.

Overall we had a great stay at Sundia by Liberty.

Location: The hotel’s location is spot on and could not get much better in my opinion. Plenty of bars, restaurants and shops at your doorstep and 2 mins walk to the beach.

Rooms: We stayed in room 1034 and it was average, it did the job but we were slightly disappointed with a few things. It was quite small compared to the last room I stayed in during my last visit, although the balcony was far bigger. The WiFi was absolutely shocking in the room and we could only use our phones on the balcony which had the scorching sun on it until 7pm, so this was inconvenient. We complained a few times about this issue but the staff at reception did not seem too bothered. The cleaner was lovely and worked hard every day, but one day we were left without any towels at all and another I was given a towel with brown stains all over it, but after ringing reception these were swapped immediately. Air conditioning was great and beds were comfy. The shower door was slightly broken but the shower was also really good. The hairdryer also blew up in my hand which was quite dangerous - suppose it’s not the hotels fault entirely and they did sort it straight away but I was lucky not to be hurt.

Pool area: Pool area was really good, plenty of sunbeds even later on, pool was a great temperature and size.

Drinks: The cocktails were great with a good variety and some cocktails of the day. Beer was good with Efes on draught. I’d say drinks were of a high standard and didn’t feel ‘cheap’ like other hotels.

Food: Breakfasts were fine, turkey doesn’t always have the best breakfasts but the omelettes in this hotels were nice - no complaints. Lunches at the pool bar were probably the best part, unbelievable variety and food and we wish this was open of a night! The food of a night was average, not the best but not the worst. We enjoyed the far east and Turkish night but other nights the food weren’t the best. We ended up eating out most nights which is fine as the restaurants in Oludeniz are amazing.

Entertainment: We thought the entertainment was really good to be honest, some of the best we’ve seen at a hotel. The prestige show and white party were great. Usually we like to go out for drinks but a lot of nights we ended up staying in to watch the entertainment. Daytime entertainment was great too, always something going on!

Overall, we had a fantastic stay at the hotel and would return. I just wish it was bed and breakfast still like it used to be as the location is great and the nighttime food isn’t the best in the hotel. But on the flip side the lunches and drinks made up for going all inclusive. The room had a few downsides but i would still return overall and we had the best holiday!
