Royal Asarlik Beach Hotel

This hotel is wonderful! The staff are incredibly attentive and always ready to help. We initially booked a room in the main building but switched to the Relax section — it's quieter there, with better views. There's also a green area, which makes relaxing by the sea really comfortable.

The spa offers great massages (paid extra), while the saunas and indoor pool are free. I also found the little library in the lobby (books in many languages).

A special thanks to the photographer, Hakan, for a fun and wonderful photo session and such vibrant family photos! Highly recommend ^_^

There is a lot of events in the evenings, we especially loved the live acoustic guitar music one night. Also there are plenty of paid water sports options, but every day there's a free banana boat ride :) Sunbeds were never an issue, always enough for everyone.

We're very happy with our experience.

Not sure where to start, been to Turkey 13 times different areas and different ratings from 3 star to 5 star. This is not 5 star and from the pictures selling the hotel at the Travel agents this is false , we paid for 5 star with all inclusive plus what ever that means, No kettle told only get a kettle in outside block rooms( nice rooms advertised in brocures) This Hotel doesnt really cater for the British. Staff at reception not really helpfull unlike every other staff members who were great. Beds not comfortable, rooms so out of date from dead mozzies stuck to the ceilings and walls from previous holiday makers, old cake left in fridge, mould on shower, wall paper in room coming off and stained, no where to hang wet clothing, hole in ceramic floor on bathroom exit. Pay for safe when should be all inclusive, fridge not refilled once in 14 days. Apart from the staff i would' nt return to this hotel or give it anything higher than a 3 star. Food is cold at main resturant and chips , veg, soup, same everyday, breakfast not catered for British so ate out alot like many Brits who stayed there.

Depending what you like and want but as we paid for 5 star and what we payed we felt robbed. Reading other peoples views saying this hotel needs updating going back a couple of years is going on Deaf ears.

I made my final decision to travel to this hotel based on the reviews I read on trip advisor. So, I thought it was only fair I was honest about our family experience so that others can make an informed choice before booking. On arrival, everything at the hotel appeared fine. We had three double rooms booked, and was advised on our booking it was a standard room with a sea view. We got taken to our rooms. It was like a maze to find our room. Once the porter opened the door we were met with an overwhelming smell of sewage and damp. We walked into the room to see there was rising damp in the corner of the rooms, which had been painted over, our balcony was facing a wall (I will attach photos) I absolutely refused to stay in this room, it was dirty, out dated and had black mould around the base of the door frames. My daughter had a stall that had dried vomit on, a blood stained chair, a hole in the curtain, dirty bedsheets and mould on her bathroom ceiling which also smelt of damp. My other daughter had mould in and around her bathroom tiles, curtains that had fallen down, dirty taps, hair on the floor and again a raw sewage smell. Outside our room we had an open box with electrical wires exposed, an open fuse box and the fire alarm was hanging off.

I was planning on getting flights home that evening as the rooms were extremely sub standard and not fit for purpose. The hotel offered to upgrade us free of charge. We were shown a potential room to upgrade to, which was insulting. This room was no better, the damp on the white walls was coming through black and the room was filthy. The hotel was full, so could only move us the next day. We had no choice but to stay as had no where else to go. The rooms we were given the next day, in my opinion were still sub standard, and only marginally better. Needless to say I would not return to this hotel. The positives of this hotel is the location, you are in walking distance of restaurants and the hotel has its own beach, with water sports. The external pools are clean and the views outside are lovely. There is a constant supply of food, however, this is not to everyone’s taste, if you like cold vegetables for breakfast lunch and dinner then there is plenty of choice. There were a selection of meats, salads, the vegetarian options were limited and a selection of different cakes. We ate out most evenings, I skipped lunch but would have porridge for breakfast, which was delicious. It is a shame that the rooms have let this hotel down. The majority of the staff were lovely, a few were unable to speak English so made communication difficult but we got by with Google translate. I hope by leaving this honest review something will improve as I believe if the rooms were clean and modernised our experience would have been completely different, however I feel to request a clean room is the least you expect when going on holiday and due to ours being so bad our family holiday was sadly ruined.
