Animation team are great, they work hard! Very friendly and fun. My daughter loves the kids club, lots of things to do and clean.
Worst hotel I have ever been to. They gave a mouldy room which stunk of damp and a flimsy baby cot which was replaced with a ripped cot that I had to see myself so my toddler doesn’t fall out of it. The fridge had some sort of forgotten wrapper or even food all iced up on the back which indicates that it had never been cleaned. They put us in a different room which was a bit better and gave us another baby cot the second day after we kicked off. Myself and my partner were ill with diarrhoea for 3 days to the point that we had to stay a full day in the room. Dirty plates and food on the buffet that clearly had been out before as I saw cheese bitten into! No wonder we got ill. It is not 5*. It would be a 3*
Looks nice at first… then you get to the room, dirty, dated and bathroom was flooded with water and stank.. let it go I’m on holiday!
First night in the bar witnessed piles of sick on the floor and they were then just “wiped” up and not disinfected. Not much for the kids to do (maybe because it was Sunday) but still they were very bored.
The food is absolutely grim; my kids wouldn’t eat anything had to go buy them a McDonald’s and I struggled to find anything that didn’t look like it had been cooked on a radiator.
Now.. on my second day saw more sick in the pool toilets, and I was starting to get worried. That afternoon I started feeling unwell, by 2pm projectile vomiting and basically peeing out of my behind - for several hours, since then I haven’t left my room. Well only down to see the hotel dr who told me I needed a drip, told me he wouldn’t accept my insurance and would need to pay.
So now I’m stuck in my room can’t keep water or anything inside me and feeling worse by the hour, hotel couldn’t care less- other guests are sick and they won’t take accountability.
My holiday is ruined never will I come here again and advise others to avoid this place it’s not 5 star 2 at best and that’s only because it looks nice when you walk in

Everything has been wonderful, but what truly makes this hotel special is the amazing staff, their positive attitudes, and their outstanding service. They have made our holiday truly unforgettable! A special shout-out to Ozcan Keskin at the pool bar! His charming personality, positive attitude, and warm smile make every visit a pleasure. And the drinks? Absolutely incredible!

These guys are simply amazing. Their fantastic service, great sense of humour, and welcoming personalities have made our stay extra special. They go above and beyond to make guests feel welcome, and their positive energy is contagious. The drinks are absolutely delicious, too! And of course, a big thank you to the older gentleman who works so hard to keep the floors clean. His effort and dedication are appreciated, and he deserves recognition as well! It is the people who make the difference, and these wonderful employees have made our holiday truly memorable.
