This impressive holiday complex is perched high on a hill, offering superb views over the Aegean Sea and Pamucak Bay. There is a bus stop just in front of the hotel, providing easy access to the popular resort of Kusadasi eight kilometres away. History buffs might also visit the fabulous Roman city of Ephesus at a 15-minute journey from the hotel. Boasting a beach restaurant and bar, the hotel consists of 2 and 3-storey buildings situated around a central garden as well as five restaurants serving rich and varied buffets as well as a la carte meals. Rooms come with air-conditioning, satellite television and a balcony or terrace, and some rooms are duplex-style for the convenience of those travelling together. Club rooms in the property are chalet style, located within the grounds outside the main hotel. Guests might enjoy a game of tennis or relax with a massage or a spell in the sauna, and children will delight in the kid's club, playground and outdoor pool with waterslide, all during a fantastic, sunny holiday in Turkey.
Pamper yourself with a visit to the spa, which offers massages, body treatments and facials. After dipping into one of the 2 outdoor swimming pools, you can spend some time at the private beach. Additional amenities at this property include complimentary wireless Internet access, concierge services and gift shops/newsstands.
Due to the surrounding area and the number of steps around the hotel, it may not be suitable for those with mobility difficulties.
Loverly location not to far away from ementies if you need them , waterpark round the corner. Staff couldn't do enough and very friendly would come again
The hotel is in need of re-furbishment big time, the food is awful,it is cold and there are flies on some of the cold meats and cheeses. The beach is not good and the pools are too cold to swim in. This hotel is advertised as 5 star,but it is closer to a 2 star hotel. There is so much wrong at this hotel. When you watch the entertainment there is nowhere to get a drink other than going to another level in the hotel, which is not good. We came to this hotel some 15 years ago and had a great holiday, but unfortunately this hotel has not been looked after
Very quick check in. Room was all we needed. Good shower, view of the sea. Tv just the usual english news channels. Free WiFi excellent throughout the whole complex. Pools complex very clean with just enough sun loungers. Good service from all of the 3 bars and Good quality drinks. Good numerous coffee machines and loads of free water bottles everywhere. 24 hour all inclusive! Staff brilliant! Special shout out to Engin from the entertainment team and Emre at guest relations. Both went the extra mile and spoke excellent English. Only 3 or 4 English holidaymakers on site, mainly Turkish and Germans, but that was fine. Not hassled at all from photographers or wellness department which was a pleasant change. Restaurant very clean with good quality food. Food available from 7am to 1am! Choice of sitting inside or outside. Both areas lovely with good views out to the Aegean. Lots of pluses about this hotel. The only minuses, the beach area is very poor. Just steps down on to rocks and very murky water. The beach restaurant was just basic burgers, chips salad. The hotel was very remote, so you needed to get a dolmus for a 15 minute journey into the town or to Ephesus. The buses stopped at the hotel gate and the cost was just 40 turkish lira. I recommend this hotel if you like staying on site.
Our family of eight stayed at the hotel from September 24th to 29th.
Here are the pros and cons of our experience:
Pros:
Aspects I found unsatisfactory:
Another issue was the inconsistency in preparing cocktails. Except for three bartenders at the main bar, most of the staff seemed to mix the ingredients without following any consistent measurements or recipes. As a result, the same drinks tasted noticeably different depending on which bar you ordered them from.
I am not sure whether the hotel has the facilities to heat the pool water, but if this is possible, it would be a great improvement. Because the water was quite cold, only a small number of guests were able to use the pool.
On the rainy day, due to the cold and rainy weather outside, almost all the guests gathered at the main bar. As a result, it was very difficult to find an available seat, and guests sometimes had to wait for someone to leave before they could sit down.
I believe the hotel could have made some arrangements for such unusual weather conditions. For example, additional indoor seating could have been provided. There were also no indoor entertainment activities or special programs available that day. It would have been nice if the hotel had organized some indoor activities to make the rainy day more enjoyable for the guests.
In my opinion, these may seem like small details, but they are exactly the kinds of thoughtful touches that can make a hotel stand out and encourage guests to choose it again in the future.
Finally, I would like to express my sincere thanks Ms. Aleyna, who was extremely helpful throughout the hotel reservation process and Ms. Yasemin, Ms. Ismihan, and Mr. Can at the main bar, who were always friendly, professional and Ms. Zeynep and Mr. Eğit at the reception, who warmly welcomed us and made us feel comfortable throughout our stay.
Great hotel. The best animation team! The pool is big and amazing. The food was good.
