I want to say it’s great. If you could base a review on just how hard a handful of staff try, then this would be 5*. But I have to base this on my experience and overall I’m let down and underwhelmed.
You turn up and you have to cart your bags across the street and no one will help you either in the lobby or up to the room.
In fact, my first impression for comparison is probably a fair one. It’s a Turkish premier inn with food included and a pool.
You’re being sold extras from the moment you arrive. Want a better room? Extra. Want Wi-Fi? Extra. Want to use the room safe? Extra.
One bottle of water to last you the week in the room… want more? Yes extra.
How they charge £30 for Wi-Fi with a straight face baffles me! 1MBPS if your lucky and you have to log in numerous times a day.
Rooms are clean, if under equipped. The TV stations are not what the card by the side of the bed says and as unreliable as the broadband.
Food is bland and at the end of October they wind down but the travel agent might not tell you. Not enough sun beds based on the number of guests and when others whack a towel on them at 6 am and they don’t enforce the “sunbed with no one using them for an hour or more will be reclaimed “policy. Causes friction.
All inclusive? Maybe, but it’s local brew, local spirits and it’s not 5* at all. Like most of Europe 5* is the equivalent of 3* anywhere else.
Breakfast is the most disappointing meal of the day and Muslim country or not, if you can get bacon down the road in cafes, why not here?
The spa is great. Get a full Turkish bath.
In reflection, nice modern hotel. Rooms are under equipped. No mini fridge items included. No room service. Bland average food but edible. Too few sunbeds and they could do something about that if they wanted.
Extras for what should be standard and the Wi-Fi is shite.
Come with 3* expectations and you’ll love it.
