There is an indoor and outdoor pool, a fitness centre and a wellness centre with sauna and Turkish bath, and the hotel offers a variety of entertainment facilities including a cinema hall, nightclub, and games room as well as organized group activities. The three onsite bars and restaurants provide drinks and snacks throughout the day as well as, all for a truly relaxing escape.
This is our second visit to the Commodore Elite. In fact we are still here! This hotel ticks every single box for my husband and I. In fact there is nothing we would change or improve. The hotel is spotlessly clean and tidy, food is varied and plentiful and as a relatively fussy eater even I am spoiled for choice. What makes this hotel stand out is undoubtedly the staff who look after you and treat you like royalty. Special thanks to the lovely Abdil who remembered us from last year, he is just wonderful, always smiling and great fun. Today we met Ozzy who looks after entertainment, another lovely young man. It’s true this is predominantly a German guest hotel but we are made to feel just as welcome and valued. We will certainly visit again next year, same week! We don’t want to chance another hotel in another country not being as amazing as here!
We had a wonderful 10 days at the Commodore Elite with friends. The staff are all really friendly and helpful. Special mention to the guy on rollerskates who brings drinks to your Sunbed! The drinks are all of a good quality made with premium alcohol. Made fresh aswell not pre mixed like you get on some all inclusive hotels. The rooms were huge and the bed very comfortable. The food was varied and you were able to get something throughout the day. There were loads of things you could get involved in through out the day from bingo, aqua aerobics, archery and darts or if you wanted to just chill on the sun loungers or in the pool that was also an option. Location was also good with a selection of bars, restaurants and shops within a couple of minutes walk. We went to the Pure steak house twice and thoroughly enjoyed it both time. The hotel is on the beach with plenty of sunbeds available. We were all looking for a chilled holiday and were not disappointed, by the end of the 10 days we were thoroughly relaxed and recharged. Would definitely return in the future.
After 11 th visit this hotel is still the best Good food nice people clean area
I last visited Commodore five years ago, and I am so happy to see that it is still just as wonderful — especially when it comes to service, food quality and drinks.
The beach is beautiful, and I also appreciated the hotel’s effort to reduce the use of single-use plastic. The restaurant now offers many more vegetarian options, which is a lovely improvement.
A huge thank you to Elena and Tatiana from Guest Relations. They are fantastic: every question or request is handled so easily and quickly, always with a helpful attitude.
Special thanks as well to Mehmet Ali, the Bar Manager, and his entire team. You are true magicians — professional, attentive and always creating a great atmosphere. Thank you for your fantastic work!
A special mention goes to the music: it has changed for the better and is now much more enjoyable to listen to. The morning music at Commodore feels fresh, energetic and uplifting — such a nice way to start the day. Huge compliments to the DJs, Ali Rıza and Göktu, for creating such a great atmosphere throughout the day.
The animation team has grown, and they are doing a fantastic job. Special thanks to Nerdal, the animation manager — he is brilliant, and the stage is clearly his element. You can truly feel his energy and talent there.
One small suggestion for the food: Turkey is famous for its cuisine, especially börek. Unfortunately, the börek at the hotel did not feel traditional or particularly enjoyable. It was more like a dry pastry, with too little cheese and too much hard, dry dough, rather than the delicious layered, cheesy börek one expects in Turkey. I hope this can be improved.
Still, thank you to the whole team for the wonderful atmosphere, energy and hospitality. I hope to be back next year — and I definitely will return.
This hotel is an amazing place to spend an unforgettable vacation and you will definitely want to come back. The animation shows are fantastic, especially the animator Bobby, he's very friendly, funny, always willing to help, very pleasant, communicative, helpful, he's warm-hearted with a sense of humor.
