Akra Sorgun Tui Blue Sensatori

Stayed at this hotel for a week and wished I had booked for two or even more. This place was THAT good. Impressive would be an understatement, indeed i would go as far to say that this is probably the best hotel I have stayed in anywhere.. This place and the staff therein, encapsulated and deliver a truly 5 star experience on a daily basis. Have stayed in many hotels where the 5 star rating seems to somewhat mythical if not misleading. However, be assured this place is more than worthy of its rating in every way possible.

Party of 3 including our 17yr old daughter and from the moment we arrived we were made to feel genuinely welcome and at home, even at the late post midnight hour of arrival. We were surprised and blessed to be upgraded to a penthouse suite....I am still pinching myself at the comfort and awesome panoramic views we experienced (check my pics). One of the first guest we met on arrival was a Scot who stated he and his wife were on their 20th stay there.....I can see why.

Customer service was easily the best I have experienced anywhere. Every interaction with hotel staff was met with courtesy, charm snd efficiency. When my daughter unfortunately had an accident off site, the reception staff showed genuine interest in her wellbeing upon her return from hospital and we thereafter also received a call from customer relations to make sure all was well. Bar staff were attentive with no request seemingly being too hard or them being too busy to deal with.

Location was good, with the beautiful town of Side reachable with 10 by either taxi or bus.

Facilities, virtually every age range is catered for with there bring a serene spa next to the gym and a host of other features including an indoor pool, and separate outdoor family pool and adults only pools. No loud rave music being pumped out poolside, either the calm fluidity of people enjoying each other's company or kids gleefully laughing by the family pool. The hotel grounds are picturesque with there also being a dedicated outdoor play area for younger children. The beach was well maintained, orderly and boasted lovely views. Live singer/pianist most nights was akso a wonderfully classy touch.

The food? Absolutely no complaints, genuinely stunning offerings on a daily basis at the main buffet restaurant. The quality was impeccable my stomach was impeachable. As part of our tui sensatori booking we were able to go to two other restaurants although we only booked one - the seafood restaurant which was probably my favourite meal of the stay. The grouper fillet main was simply divine! The Baska coffee shop with its melt in the mouth fresh croissants and daily assortment of freshly made delightful chocolates tested my will-power daily.

The rooms are very well maintained with the chiller restocked daily and housekeeping on point.

From the moment you end the grand and fragrant foyer, you know you are in for a refined, stress free and luxurious experience and this place does not disappoint.

It goes with without saying that we will definitely be looking to return next year. From beginning to the end, and all the interactions in-between, this place was class, simply pure class.....

Just checked out and waiting my taxi to the airport. This is our 9 th visit in 10 years . First class . Food excellent . Lots of Turkish influence in the restaurant- great quality . Can’t wait till we are back .
