Fabulous!!!!!
Absolutely loved this hotel. The food throughout is amazing. The buffet is wonderful, so much choice and food is of a very high standard. Maison Plage is a great place to eat at lunch time, extensive menu to choose from, cooked fresh to order. The Roka seafood overlooking the beach serves sushi at lunchtimes, no need to book, we loved it there. The à la cartes are really good, especially Safran and levanta, we found the Roka seafood à la carte disappointing. Any drink is included with your à la cartes but you can buy wine off the special menu if you want to. Service at all of the places to eat is very good, very polite and friendly , I only encountered one rude waiter at the buffet which was a shame. The pool bar is great, loads of really nice cocktails, you can order from a QR code at your sunbed if you want to although sometimes it would be quicker to go to the bar yourself. Panora bar overlooking the pool from a balcony is very nice, a huge cocktail menu and they try to accommodate any requests. Great service at both bars. The pool was cold, one of the coldest I’ve been in, maybe a little bit of heating would be nice. Sunbeds very comfy, think padded beds, we liked to get the beds on the decking near the bar as they had the most sun all day, beware the decking does get hot. Gym is sufficient, not the most hi tech but fine while you’re on holiday. Room was lovely, nice and modern, cleaned every day to a good standard, we were room 1329. Hotel grounds are immaculate, lots of lovely flowers and palm trees, very clean. Lots of sunbeds on the beach, nice clean sandy beach, the sea was much warmer than the pool!!!! Great location, about a 20 min walk to the marina, lovely promenade right along the coastline. Entertainment was ok, acts came on every night, mainly dance acts. I think maybe a couple of tributes acts or something to get people up and dancing and singing would be good. Overall we loved our holiday and would highly recommend staying here

A flawless holiday
It's rare when a hotel actually exceeds your expectations, but this was such an occasion. I won't repeat what others have said in their reviews, other than to say that I agree with all of the positive comments I have read.
The Acanthus Cennet Barut collection is a beautiful hotel. We stayed in a penthouse suite and it was worth every penny. All of the staff were fantastic, from our amazing room attendant who ensured everything was spotlessly clean, through to all the staff in the bars and restaurants who were attentive and friendly.
The food in all the restaurants was excellent, from the best buffet we've experienced in a hotel through to all of the a la carte restaurants which we had the pleasure of visiting.
The thing we love about Barut hotels is the ability to do things on your terms. If you want a later breakfast, lunch or dinner, no problem, go to Maison Plage where they offer excellent menus at times to suit you. It just means you're not constantly clock watching and can do what you want, when you want. It's difficult to put a price on that.
As I said in the title, this holiday really was flawless. We wholeheartedly recommend this hotel and would definitely return.

Great Yoga &Pilares clases
I had a wonderful experience attending the Yoga and Pilates 🧘♀️ classes during my stay at the hotel. The instructor Dyrea was professional, attentive, and very knowledgeable, creating a calm and welcoming atmosphere in every class.
I especially appreciated her positive energy, clear explanations, and the attention she gave to each participant. The sessions were well structured, enjoyable, and a perfect balance of relaxation and exercise.
The classes were definitely one of the highlights of my stay. I would happily join her sessions again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a great yoga and Pilates experience! 🌸
The building didnt have the wow factor but the staff, food and entertainment brought it in spades.
We arrived around 1 in the morning and checked in quickly. We were told where our room was and found it ourselves rather than wait to have someone take our luggage. Although the room was lovely it was a bit of a disappointment as we had requested a room on a high floor 10 days before we arrived only to be given a room on the lowest floor. But apart from that the holiday was amazing. The location next to the beach on a nice promenade within easy walking distance of Side marina and old town. The food in the buffet, the à la carte restaurants and maison plaige was excellent. Among the best I have had at an all inclusive hotel. The drinks that were available were all top brands. Including malt whiskeys and Stolichnya vodka. With proper mixers. The only fly in the ointment was that if you wanted bottles of cola you had to go get them from the lobby bar as the pool bar only had draught or 2 litre bottles. The hotel staff were all excellent and very friendly. I want to mention some, Can ( Mr Cuba) from the pool bar makes a great French martini, Eda organises the darts matches with great enthusiasm even though she sometimes needs help keeping score, Emrah and Yusuf from the steak restaurant were very attentive and good at their job. Also there was Sirma and Duygu waitresses from the buffet and all day restaurant. I would also like to mention the entertainment at night which was amazing and very professional. You don’t want to miss any of it. The pool was quite large for the size of the hotel but I would have liked another ladder at the bottom end of the pool.
