Very nice hotel good food enjoyed 🙏 From guest relations to entertainment everyone has been very nice

The hotel is lovely, spotlessly clean, lots of green spaces, and well thought out design in the layout of the rooms, and facilities of the hotel.

Weve spent most of our time here chilling around the relax pool, which has been extremely peaceful, and no fights needed to get access to the sun loungers. As a couple, and whilst spending our time at this pool, we haven't used much of the animation team, however the amount of activities that are advertised and the amount of staff dedicated to that is amazing.

Food is great, and on the whole very good, being able to find something to eat every meal with ease. If you are a fan of fresh fruit and salads you are extremely well catered for! The dessert menu is very typical of all you can eat buffets, so nothing really to write home about however, as someone who loves Baklava, I was extremely happy here. Staff running the restaurant are extremely efficient, and really polite and friendly, even if sometimes there was a bit of a language barrier.

Snack bar at the hotel is okay, however the main restaurants food is significantly better. Worth noting, we did find the meat pizza did result in some upset stomachs, an experience with shared with other hotel guests.

The availability of ice creams, pastries and coffees during the day is superb, and is something we have more than made use of.

Bar staff across the board have been great, super friendly, especially the staff running the ice blue bar by the relax pool (sorry can’t remember specific names). Main pool bar staff have likewise been great, particular shout out for Sultan.

Whilst here we have also used the Spa facilities, with a shout out for the friendly face of Biran in organising our visit, super friendly and a delight to talk to when on his rounds. Staff in the spa were extremely professional, and most importantly very good, with my partner and I have a great experience here. One small issue however was because the facilities of the Turkish bath can be used by the hotel guests around treatments, we did have to deal with children, and their mother shouting and screaming during something that should be relaxing. Though I will say that is not the fault of the staff, more an indictment of the lack of consideration from some resort guests.

We did also use the services of the photography team, Fatih taking our photographs and Nedim as our liaison throughout. Superb team, super friendly and an absolute delight in using.

Overall the place has been fantastic, and we highly recommend it to anyone, especially for those with children, as I genuinely have never seen a more family focussed and friendly resort.

A couple of small notes for those visiting, our transfer from the hotel was approximately 2 hours, which we found okay, however it is a consideration. It is a little bit away from Side, however the transport links are decent. Finally as English speakers going outside of term time, we have found ourselves in the minority, with only a handful of other English speaking families. Again this hasn’t been a problem, however the behaviour of some of the international guests at times has been extremely rude and inconsiderate of both other guests and the staff.

Thank all for a great time, and we hope to maybe return in the future with our own family!
