Another brilliant stay @ Barut Goia
Just back from our 3rd visit as a family of 6, absolutely amazing stay again. All staff work so hard in every aspect. The hotel is spotless, the food is lovely and the staff are so friendly and helpful. Staff remembered us from our previous visits which was nice. 100% recommend, see you next year ❤️
Turkish Delight is at an end.
Alas a return to reality, from 38 degrees to 8 in a short flight. We’ve only ever been to Turkey in July or August before, but the temperature for our September trip this year was just perfect and a time we’d definitely repeat. We’ve had a fantastic 10 night break in Barut Goia. We stayed as an all-adult family group. Having been at 4 Baruts previously I wasn’t sure what to expect from the cheaper price point and reading gripes online. It really more than met our expectations from the trusted Barut brand.
The accommodation was fantastic, modern and spacious. Above all the staff make the holiday experience, super polite, professional and so helpful.
Mentioning to the lifeguard I was having trouble with the low sun beds as my mobility is challenged just now, no sooner mentioned and a staff member had replaced it with a much higher option. It made things so much easier and I was very grateful. Exceptional service. The cleanliness was noted at all times, making the hotel look amazing. The groundsmen around the pool do a great job. The barmen were fantastic. Especially Ramazan, super efficient. And guest relations Sabrina, so attentive and willing to help, such a nice manner, so professional.
And especially to Fuat in the Olea Kitchen, exceptional 5* service at all times. So friendly, exquisite manners, humorous, personable and above all a brilliant example of the esteemed Barut brand ……. 5*. He was the outstanding ‘face of Barut’ for us this vacation. Thanks Fuat for being so awesome!
I celebrated my birthday whilst we were there. And a big thank you for the surprise cake which arrived at my room. Beautiful and delicious and most unexpected. Very talented chefs. Being serenaded by the Olea staff at dinner was another surprise, and being presented with another delicious mini cake with candle lit. Very special. Their thoughts and kindness made our day very special.
Constructively, we would have liked the opportunity to get coffees etc available early at the pool on the ‘quiet side’. At least a self-operating machine. As it stands it doesn’t open ‘til 10am and there are a lot of people going about early. It’s not ideal having to walk right across to the Ivy bar for your morning cuppa, nor folks walking about with hot drinks to bring them back.
A negative 😕 both the room cleaners were unsubtly looking for tips. Perhaps the language barrier exceeded the ‘pester power’. Maybe some advice would be not to stakeout the holidaymakers and let them leave a tip in the room if they wish. Holidaymakers can’t tip everyone, but can do it to their own choice directly if they want as we did, or use the various tip boxes around the hotel. This overbearing behaviour spoils such a good brand reputation.
To summarise we really enjoyed our stay, we knew we would and will definitely consider returning again, if the price is right.
Thanks so much 😄
In terms of guests with mobility issues - an improvement would be to have a handrail to walk into the pool at the ramp. So you can be more independent and safe. And if there was a disabled toilet near the pool too that would be helpful. We were grateful being able to hire a wheelchair on site. I must stress this is not a direct hire with the hotel, and is handled by the on site doctor’s surgery. I got the best of what was available and well the quality wasn’t great, minus a brake etc, some might say ‘unsafe’. It did a job, not without the angst of being in it each trip😩.

Very fun and welcoming place Vladimir was very friendly, joining in with activities such as water polo and was very polite.
Enjoyable family holiday
We've just returned from a 10 day stay at Barut Goia as two adults, a 7 year old & a 2 year old. Overall we've had a really lovely holiday, you won't be disappointed as there's lots of positives about this hotel. There are a few things that could be improved to give it more of a luxury 5 star feel. Compared to other 5* hotels we've stayed at in Turkey, I would say this is more 4* but it is also a cheaper price point. We would consider returning in future.
Pro's
- The hotel is spread out, it never felt crowded, you could always get a sunbed at any time of day.
- Cleaned to a high standard, staff work hard to maintain.
- Good buffet selection & we always found lots to eat.
- Personally, we never struggled to book the à la carte restaurants, although I know some other guests did. You have to message at 9am on WhatsApp.
- The water slides were a huge hit with our kids. Special mention to the lifeguards, who were laid back & always looked out for the kids and would send my 2 year old down to meet dad. They were also chilled with pool rules, all lilo's were allowed (we took our own & the supermarket blew them up, the supermarket is expensive to buy them)
- All of the staff work hard and are really friendly.
- Animation team & kids club were great. My daughter only went to a few of the activities but she enjoyed it every-time she went & was made to feel really welcome. They were really observant watching the kids too & any concerns they were quick to contact parents & ask them to stay if need be, which I thought was really reassuring.
- The entertainment was well timed so you never felt you needed to rush your evening meal. Kids entertainment started at 8.15, with the main show at 9.15pm. The shows were brilliant and professional - we watched the entertainment every night.
- It was my birthday while we were there & they sent a cake to our room which was a lovely touch.
- We stayed in a pool terrace room on the 'noisy side' which I'd highly recommend.
- We sometimes walked through the sunset bar & grabbed drinks before watching the entertainment. The staff were lovely & it was a great atmosphere up there.
- Mini fridge was stocked daily.
- Hotel is good value for money.
- Personally didn't use but the set up for babies looked brilliant. Offered loads of items to save you bringing them, including pushchairs, bottle warmers etc. Baby food jars in the restaurant too.
Con's
- Having to get a shuttle bus to/from the beach. It is within walking distance but not the best road, especially for kids. We only went over once & felt the atmosphere was dull. We wanted to watch the sunset, but the shuttles finished before that would have been possible.
- Poor ice cream selection, especially for kids. Only basic vanilla, chocolate & strawberry with very limited toppings.
- Personally I would say it's missing the "luxury feel" we've had from other 5* in Turkey. Just little things, we've had in other hotels like 24/7 patisserie, snacks in the mini bars, branded ice creams, welcome drinks/snacks on arrival, towel designs on your beds etc.
- Activities aren't well advertised unless you go looking for them & know the timetables. Kids club is quite tucked away.
- Limited lunch options, without getting dressed to go to the à la carte or buffet restaurant. There's fruit, waffles or a couple of sandwich selections at the bar, but no other food.
- Patisserie shuts early.
- Lots of flies & wasps at the drinks bar and restaurants.
- We found that we never had the same staff serve us in the restaurants. We would often sit outside on the terrace & not be offered drinks, particularly at evening meal.
Whilst there we went to the side old town for a meal at orfoz which was really lovely & a fantastic sunset view. We got a taxi from outside the hotel which was €10 each way and really easy.
I would recommend a private transfer from the airport. We used best trips Antalya, communication was great & they were reliable. We then booked an evening trip to the land of legends at the last minute. Best trips Antalya booked us in with less than 24 hour notice and were fantastic.
We went to the nemo restaurant at land of legends which was a brilliant experience. The kids loved looking at the fish & the food was nice, but be prepared for it to be quite expensive.
Overall, we've had a really lovely holiday. For the price, this is a nice hotel with a lot of positives & things we enjoyed.
Amazing
I was actually quite skeptical about this trip at first.
We were travelling with two very young children, including our four-month-old baby, so I wasn’t even sure I wanted to travel abroad. I had also originally wanted to go to Spain and, to be completely honest, I was a little skeptical about Turkey based on previous trips.
Then we found Barut GOIA.
It looked great, it was five-star, very family-friendly, and the relatively short transfer from Antalya Airport was a big plus for us when travelling with small children.
I’m so glad we decided to book it.
The experience started the moment we were picked up at the airport for our private transfer. A ridiculously luxurious minibus arrived – LED lights, music, comfortable seats, cold drinks and water. Honestly, it looked like one of those luxury transfer vans you see on TikTok and assume you’ll never actually get! The driver was also incredibly friendly.
When we arrived at the hotel, everything we had requested beforehand had already been arranged. The baby cot was ready, the room was prepared exactly as we had hoped, and because our son loves milk, there was even a bottle of milk waiting for us in the fridge. We arrived late at night and were still able to get food from the late-night buffet.
These might sound like small details, but when you’re travelling with two very young children, they make an enormous difference.
And then there is the staff.
The housekeeping team, the bartenders, the breakfast staff, the reception team, the people helping with restaurant reservations – genuinely everyone we interacted with was fantastic. Friendly, professional, helpful and always making us feel welcome.
At one point I managed to lose my phone. The staff went above and beyond trying to help me find it, practically turning the place upside down looking for it. Eventually, it was found. That level of genuine care and service is something I won’t forget.
We had Ultra All Inclusive, and it really was ALL inclusive. Food, drinks, cocktails, water – everything. During the entire holiday, we spent only around 1,700 SEK (roughly €150) on top of what we had already paid for the trip. Once we were at the hotel, we basically never had to think about money.
We also met some wonderful families during our stay, and we all kept saying the same thing: this is the best hotel we’ve stayed at.
Normally, I’m the type of person who always wants to try somewhere new. A different hotel, a different destination, a different experience.
Barut GOIA has now created a problem for me.
It’s going to be very difficult to book somewhere else in the future when we already know that this place is exactly what we’re looking for.
We’re leaving incredibly happy and very grateful that we decided to take this trip.
Five very solid stars. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
A huge thank you to everyone at Barut GOIA for an amazing week and for taking such great care of our family.
Warmest regards from the family in room 2022 ❤️
