Limak Arcadia Sport Resort

Was a an amazing holiday with my family, the resort was insane the food and drinks was lovely. The entertainment team the shows, live music and the activities was incredible especially Didi he made our holiday and big thanks to all the staff in hotel xx I can’t wait to come back again much love xx

So my overall impression of Limak Arcadia is that it is ok but expensive for what you get. I have been to much cheaper all inclusive hotels in turkey that have a lot more to offer than here.

I’m going to start with the positives of this hotel. Great beach, good central location to belek city centre for shopping and restaurants etc. all the staff work incredibly hard and I have not a bad word to say about a single member of staff here. Particularly loved the animation team,Didi, Jamaal and Yassin are a huge asset to this hotel. The live music is by far the best entertainment on offer here- the band the unforgettables were incredible with beautiful voices. And the beach bar is good but it could do with being open later than 1am and it could benefit from having some staff there to encourage an atmosphere like at the live music. I have older children but the kids club and kids entertainment looked very good- all of the younger children seemed to love it which was nice to see. Same applies to the slides and pool facilities definitely better for the younger children as only two bigger slides which become boring after a few turns so the kids didn’t bother going on them after our first few days here. We only tried one of the al e carte restaurants- the Chinese, this is an extra charge but we enjoyed it and I would say it’s worth the extra money at 12€ each. The outdoor bbq that you self cook your food also looked like a very good experience but we didn’t like the menu so we didn’t participate. The kids loved the arcade and the pool table at the bar and they especially enjoyed the arranged football matches at 16:30 every day.

Now for the negatives. It has the worst amphitheater I’ve experienced, no where near enough seats for the sheer number of guests here so we couldn’t even watch the show most nights. And that seems to be the theme across this hotel and its other facilities. You would struggle to find a sunbed around the pools any time after 10am as the majority of them are reserved but no one ever seems to sit on them- this is something that needs addressing by the hotel. The main buffet restaurant is chaos. Hundreds/thousands of people all at once in a very small space with no structure at all. And the choice of food is in our families opinion is very poor and not to our liking at all however this is pretty standard for a lot of all inclusives and we each managed to find something we liked even if that meant we ate the same thing every night for 10 nights. The lights are turned off at the football pitch at 10pm which means the older kids then can’t really play and start to complain they are bored. The rooms are very small- two beds and then a 3rd camp bed cramped in next to them not really leaving you any space at all in the room. The rooms look good and modern at first glance but if you look closely they are poorly maintained with cracks in tiles and dirty grout etc. and they are not cleaned every day. They just change your beds, empty your bin and change your towels but they didn’t even remove empty glasses etc. from our room all week.

Overall it isn’t a terrible hotel at all- however I have paid thousands less for much nicer hotels in turkey where our family had a better time with access to better facilities. It is a very family friendly hotel but I think more suitable for families with younger children not teenagers.

One last thing to note is that the cabanas on the beach are an extra charge and pretty expensive at 70€ for the day when it doesn’t really include anything for that cost apart from a plate of fruit and the waiter brings your drinks to you upon request but it was nice to have for the day.

Absolutely amazing hotel. Beautiful room, so much for the children to do we have 3 year old twins who loved every minute of our holiday. The children’s pools and slides are fantastic! Staff were so kind and lovely, food and drinks were great even ice lollies included. Dosent get any better then this resort 100% recommend
