Very Nice!
The experience was great, but the animation was the best part. The activities led by Altan were incredibly fun, engaging, and full of energy. Altan made everyone feel welcome and kept the atmosphere lively from start to finish. It was definitely the highlight of the experience. Highly recommended! And burak is also good
Excellent hotel which is very clean and great for families. The food is great with plenty choice. The drinks are great as well, all the cocktails are freshly made. The passion bar does some great iced flavoured drinks, freshly made as well. There are 5 à la carte restaurants, one which you can book free of charge during your stay. If you want to book any more, it’s 20 euros per person (drinks included), children eat free which is great value based on the quality of the food. We dined at the Italian and Mexican, both were great. The staff here are all friendly and can’t do enough to help. I’d recommend this hotel and will definitely return.
Our second visit and just as great as the first. Accommodation; typical hotel rooms. Clean and spacious, no issues. Expect the occasional cat to sneak in your room, especially if on the ground floor. Didn't bother us but it might some. It's their home too. Food; usual buffet fayre. Hot and plenty of choice. Make sure to book the speciality restaurants. Italian was great, Mexican even better. So good in fact that we paid to go again..only £20 pp which is great value. Book early in your holiday to ensure space- they book up early. Entertainment: usual pool games, fun to watch. Wasn't under pressure to take part. Evening entertainment often so poor is was fun to watch. But no different to other hotels I don't think. Staff: all very helpful and minor issues quickly addressed and dealt with. We suggested nonslip mats for the shower and within 24hrs were delivered to each of our 5 rooms. Our only irritation was in complete opposition to most others. You'll see Altan is named in almost every review as a great bloke. And I'm sure he is. But he hounded everyone in our group to write tripadvisor reviews naming him personally to the point it got quite awkward. We started jumping in the pool when we saw him coming to avoid the constant requests. I suspect this is why so many others have named him..no doubt he'll have been standing over them whilst they wrote it. He worked hard but it was a bit OTT when you want to relax. Trips/Excursions: private boat trip a must for us. 6 hrs to ourselves with amazing food and views. Loved it. Cost about £900 but there were 10 of us so worked out a decent price imo. And a trip into side for shopping and a meal is a must. Stunning views if you're there for the sunset. Great holiday had by us all. Would happily return again
We had a wonderful stay at Arcanus Hotels Sorgun. The hotel is clean, the food is delicious, and the staff is always friendly and helpful. We would especially like to thank the waiters in the main restaurant – Furlan, Gökhan, and Kemal. We knew them from another hotel and were happy to see them working here. Their excellent service, kindness, and professionalism made our stay even more enjoyable. We will definitely come back!
Altan was the most amazing and friendliest entertainer here and made our time here so enjoyable! 🇹🇷
