The Hotel is beautiful, we were in a Deluxe Suite and it was spotlessly clean. It had everything we needed and more… including body wash, shampoo and conditioner. The mini bar was stocked everyday with a good variety of drinks. The housekeeper cleaned and changed our towels daily. Location wise is great, it has its own private part of the beach, which is clean and tidy. It has showers, toilets and a large snack/lunch area and bar. We ate here a few times for lunch. Around the pool the vibes are chilled, with light music (not too loud) we sunbathed here everyday, the pool is large and in my opinion is the perfect depth! There is a bar and the barmen and waiters are great. Uğur is fab! On his inline skates waiting on everyone around the pool. What a hard working guy he is and such talent, to hold a huge tray of drinks whilst skating around!!! There are various activities to take part in during the day too! Water aerobics etc. to archery! Çağdaş is a great guy, he organises activities/events he is very sociable, friendly and gets everyone involved. He is also very helpful if you have any questions. On an evening except a Sunday, there is always something planned… from all sorts, shows, singing and dancing, karaoke and we had a foam party which was pretty awesome! If you like an alcoholic drink or two…the cocktails are to die for! 😋 Mehmet makes the best Pornstar Martini I have ever tasted!! 🫶🏻 The food is incredible… so much to choose from and all delicious! We had a reservation at the Mediterranean restaurant and the food there was amazing, we were blown away! The lamb dish and the risotto… chef kiss! All in all, what a fabulous holiday we’ve had. We’ve laughed all the way through and been spoilt in luxury. Thank-you for having us… until next time!
Just returned from a week long stay at the commodore. It's probably easier to bullet point the pros and cons. These are fair and honest and a representation of our experience
Pros.
Beachfront access with table service at the beach as well as ice cream, pastries etc,
Staff are friendly and attentive.
Plenty of sunbeds up to 10am at the pool and always one at the beach
Swim up rooms, well worth it. Ours had direct sun from 11-2 and then the shade on the terrace was very welcome in the heat, the pool itself stays in the sun ‘til about 5.
Alacarte meal was delicious, we recommend booking during your stay.
Late check out was free until 2pm on asking.
All inclusive is available until you leave - they don’t cut your bands off.
Highly recommend making the effort to get up and see the sunrise. It was beautiful. There’s also wild sea turtles under the bridge which was gorgeous to see
Cons
Isolated location, not much around it at all.
Evening entertainment isn’t great, lots of dancing to backing tracks.
Food is very very repetitive. Lots of choice, but the same choice daily.
Piano bar- never seen the piano played and it’s very warm.
Drinks are weak, even if you request branded
Commute was 2 hours going back to the airport even with a private transfer. Traffic can be really bad so factor this in for your departure. (Arrival only took 55 minutes private)
Stayed here for 6 nights on the 11th of July with my husband .On arrival, we were met by the very friendly reception team who gave us a lovely surprise off upgrading us to a pool room for free . A big thank you for that it was amazing. We have been to this hotel twice before, and it never lets us down . The staff are amazing and very friendly they all work so hard to make sure you want for nothing during your stay. The atmosphere is very relaxed, which we love . There were plenty of sunbeds around the pool and on the beach, so there was no mad rush to get up early every morning. The food was lovely and had different dishes every night. Even pickey eaters would be fine there.. Pool Around the pool there is no loud music so if that is what you want this hotel is not for you . Plenty off loungers and drinks brought to you . Fresh fruit was also brought around . Fridges have soft drinks in which you can help yourself too Food Try the waffles. You won't be disappointed. Different food themed nights, which were great . Big selection so you won't go hungry. Room Pool room, which was very spacious and bed comfortable. The outside area has 2 sun loungers and a parasol, which were very comfortable. The sun hit the room and pool area and was nice to come back to as the pool was a little cooler as the temperature got up to 40 degrees at one point . The fridge was stocked daily with drinks .
Entertainment There is Entertainment on at night which stsrts around 9pm if that's what you like . Good mixture from singing acts to dancing. The turkish dancers were very good .
