Wyndham Residences Kusadasi Golf And Spa

We visited July/August 26. Our room was spacious and clean, we were in the Oaks. The hotel is isolated and requires plenty of walking which was something we knew on booking, the hotel is very generous with water and drinks in general, some places only serve soft drinks from 11am and restrict how many you can get at a time, which can make having access to a cheap supermarket a necessity but if you are looking for a totally relaxing hotel based break and you don’t need to venture out then it is the perfect place with ample of everything you’d expect from a hotel based holiday. The washing machine was so helpful. We all found the food really good. My kids are used to home cooking and we don’t do take out or fast food regularly so they had no complaints at all even though they’d mainly stick to bread, pasta , chips and chicken, that’s totally an age thing. The main pool is lively and there are plenty of quiet pools for a relaxed experience. Occasionally we would see hints of drunk brits creating a bit of tension but the size of the complex made it possible to avoid this if that kind of thing spoils your holiday which it does for us. The hotel did have security staff and we never witnessed anything that would require them but given other reviews it is good they have them. The on site shop is over priced but there is a migos on the corner of the last road approaching the beach (you can see it from the bus so you can’t get lost) I would recommend you take sweets and stock up on extras including your chocolate from here it’s only a short walk and we did it with a fairly fit 80 year old. This hotel suits families that want a fixed price holiday and understand their location is remote as travelling without a hire car really adds to the overall cost so if you want regular nights out this is not the hotel base to do it from. If you are booking for pools, sun and all inclusive it won’t disappoint and I think you can ignore the negatives. However if you are expecting night life and walks around the town you will be disappointed as this will add so much to the holiday cost you would get better value based somewhere else and you’ll end up posting negatives about how bored you are with the same food and entertainment, it really does come down to if you know what you’re booking. I really enjoyed this holiday and found the room, staff, pools and food and drink all great for the price, if they was a cheap taxi or easy walk into town the price would double. WiFi was also great and in the room good enough for Roblox which we’ve never experienced in Turkey before as it requires more bandwidth than we’ve had on other Turkish hotel WiFi. I hope this review helps you decide if it’s the right hotel for you because it’s a shame that the hotel gets negative reviews that worry visitors before they get there. If it is right for you then pack washing tablets, clothes pegs, ice pops, Nutella (they have pancakes but the chocolate sauce isn’t great), loads of sweets and maybe some concentrated cordial, loads of sun tan lotion and pool inflatables. Enjoy, I wish I could do it again!

Family of 5 ( three kids under 10) This our second summer visiting. Stayed in the Pines both times which is a great spot. You can’t ask more of the rooms. Although not cleaned as often as last time. Pools are in abundance and great. Lots of walking to be done or use the golf buggies - just phone 9 for reception or grab one from reception. There are some great new additions, such as the food court and Irish bar (not very Irish though). The extension to the main restaurant is also very welcome. Kids club is okay, could be better organised with more attentive staff, Overall decline is food. Breakfast now lacks more British options and what I would call french pastels if that what you are looking for. But still lots of choice. Lunch is good - this where the addition of the food court is welcome. Lack of pizza now at the snack bars is a shame. Dinner could be better. Lots of choice but very repetitive, there is now a lack of theme night and the al a crate isn’t as good as it was. Book early for the al a carte. This hotels is worth a visit but as a returning customer I am not sure we will be back.

3-4☆

We came with low expectations as we'd read recent reviews, which are very mixed. Overall we enjoyed the holiday with nice room in pines, maybe we were lucky. We felt it was good value for what we paid for 10 nights AI at the height of the season. The whole site is a little unique (forgive the pun) given size and mix of overseas holidaymakers and local's that own accomodation.

Food - Average food sometimes only warm (common feedback) / no themed nights and food very similar everyday.

Beach - we didn't go to the beach so can't comment but queue was very long each day.

Pools - we didnt go around the main pool at all as we preferred the quieter pools. The main pool area is pretty crammed and noisy but depends what you prefer. We stayed by the pools at the Pines, the waterfall pool was our favourite.

Rooms - we booked a 2 bed 2 bathroom accommodation and were pleasantly surprised by the size (albeit weren't expecting bunk beds so daughter slept in kitchen/lounge area). It also had a washing machine so was handy.

Cleaning - we did have a cleaner every two days but she didn't appear to do a thorough clean. Towels changed but different amounts left when they did change them. Our bed was changed but kids beds weren't. Glass wasn't clean all around the hotel and on our balcony. Towels were stained and bedsheets had holes.

Bars - main bar was busy and only one serving most of the time. Pool bar at pines served food too but was average and depended who you got but service was mixed.

Staff - some staff worked hard but I would say the majority didn't and would benefit from customer service training.

Luckys/Hong Kong restaurants - both enjoyable in different ways and mixes up the holiday away from the hotel site. But both around £150 for 4 people (no alcohol) so reasonably expensive (but free transport included makes it much better value).

We thought the holiday was good value for money but we would say more between 3 and 4☆ overall, pushing closer to 4☆.

Customer's thoughts will depend a lot on their expectations and in context of what was paid for the holiday.
