Have a good vacation

Pegasos World gave us an exceptional experience in Side, Antalya. The accommodations were incredible and outstanding, and the stuff, receptionist Emre, working at the time went above and beyond to help us have incredible time. Ms.Diana taught us archery class, was unforgettable time. 3 times meal a day were very tasty and fresh. The staff were all welcoming and kind, and I greatly appreciate our experience there! This hotel is on the 1st line of the beach. Strongly recommend!

Disappointing Experience Due to Hotel Management and Staff Attitude

We checked out of the hotel at 12:00 noon. However, since our flight was late at night, we left our luggage in the hotel’s luggage room and continued to stay at the hotel until the evening while waiting for our flight. During this time, we were not informed by the reception that we were no longer allowed to stay at the hotel, that we had to leave by a certain time, or that any additional fee would apply.

As we had stayed at the hotel before, we specifically informed the reception that our flight was late at night and that we would need to wait at the hotel until our departure time. We were told that there would be no problem and that we could stay and wait until our flight.

We did not use the aquapark during this period. We simply waited by the seaside and, when it was time to leave for our flight, we went to collect our luggage.

However, while we were collecting our luggage, a staff member named Murat, who introduced himself as the night manager, stopped us and told us, in a very uncomfortable and accusatory manner, that we had used the hotel facilities and that this was subject to an additional charge. He also stated that we should have left the hotel around 5:00–6:00 PM.

We explained to him that we had already informed the reception that we would be waiting at the hotel because our flight was late at night and that no one had warned us about any additional charge or a specific departure time. We also explained that we had not used the aquapark, pool, or similar facilities. Nevertheless, his attitude towards us was confrontational rather than helpful or solution-oriented.

We also pointed out that guests who arrive before the official check-in time may use certain hotel facilities, and similarly, guests whose flights are late in the evening may need to remain at the hotel after check-out. Since we had informed the reception in advance about our late flight, we expected clear guidance from the hotel regarding what was and was not permitted.

The situation became even more uncomfortable when another reception staff member named Volkan spoke to Murat about us in a way that appeared to escalate the situation.

As we were short on time and needed to leave for our flight, we did not want to argue further. We simply removed our wristbands and handed them back.

Our complaint is specifically about the attitude of Murat, the night manager, and Volkan from reception, as well as the way this matter was handled.

The main issue is not the possibility of an additional charge itself. The problem is that no one informed us beforehand, and the issue was raised only when we were leaving, in a blaming and confrontational manner. If guests are only allowed to remain at the hotel until a certain time after check-out, or if an additional fee applies after a certain hour, this should be clearly communicated to guests in advance.

Unfortunately, this incident had a very negative impact on our overall experience at the hotel. We believe the hotel management should improve its communication with guests and establish much clearer policies regarding the use of hotel facilities after check-out.

Lovely hotel just needs a few changes

Hotel pool area and beach is super clean and very pleasant ! Atmosphere at hotel is friendly with mixed nationalities. Rooms very dated and if sleeping in the seperate area unfortunately all you hear is the slamming of doors all night . It was a fair price we paid and the weather was good except the day we left the rain and thunder came . Entertainment is excellent for children and families . Altho but too much dance troupes . But the Michael Jackson show was brilliant . Now the real negatives Food very average and the lack of any kind of waiter service at lunch and dinner . There wasn’t a bar in sight to fetch a drink yourself a beer or anything else . Observing most people were just drinking coke or juices from the machine . Not quite 4 star standards . Drinks at bars were clearly watered down ! Not a chance of even getting just tipsy !! This could be a wonderful hotel if certain things could change .

Brilliant trip and stay.

Had a brilliant 9 night visit to Aqi Pegasos World and loved it. Huge hotel with plenty pool sections and separate kids pools with slides, this apart from the water theme park. More than enough sun beds and some areas covered, ideal for young families, or anyone seeking a bit more shade. Plenty bars I counted 6 and (despite a previous review oh here recently). there is a bar in the food hall serving alcohol and soft drinks, it might be some people prefer a soft drink while eating, we do. Staff around side were very attentive and couldn’t do enough for us, to many to name but a special mention to Habil, who told us he’s been there 17 years and loves it, he was always willing to help us, and asks us if we were enjoying our holiday. JiJi who’s from the hamman team it was a pleasure to meet such a lovely and genuine individual who like us, enjoyed a chat. Our room cleaner and I must apologise as I have forgotten her name sorry, little things like stopping us in the corridor and running into her storage cupboard and then present a flower to my other half, she absolutely adored that. The food was plentiful and varied there was even a Vegan corner which was handy for us, we were not disappointed with the variety on offer. Ice cream kiosk, a potato truck serving fries and three restaurants on site. Entertainment was first class throughout the site from live shows at the amphitheater and live shows and music at the island bars, to karaoke at the beach bar and also a disco. A a mention for the daytime foam party. Plenty of added extras everyday from darts, archery, Boccia, Football, table tennis and lots more free of charge for adults and kids, you just had to book the activities that you wanted to do all included. Honestly we loved it and thought it could’ve been a better if we had brought the grandkids with us. Got to mention that they do have shops on site selling bags, shoes, gold and silver jewellery and more. WiFi throughout the site was fantastic in our room at the pool on the beach, there was no issue being connected. One thing that did happen a few times was the loss of power on site, only for a minute or so, we thought it was quite funny and romantic lol.

A little gripe was the on site shop for snacks, soft drinks, beer, and various other goods, we thought was quite pricey.

Overall we enjoyed it and next time we will take the grand kids as we think they’ll love it.
