Our large family accompanied us on this trip. We made our reservation through Love Holidays for a 2 week vacation. The transfer from Izmir Airport took slightly over 45 minutes. Upon arrival, the check-in process was remarkably efficient and swift. As we went with a large family of 24 the hotels Porters transported our luggage all with us to our rooms using electric buggies, ensuring a seamless transition.
Our family room consisted of two bedrooms, two wardrobes which had many hangers a large spacious shower room, tea and coffee-making facilities, a flat-screen TV, a refrigerator stocked daily free of charge with soft drinks and water, and a private swimming pool accessible directly from our room. This private pool came at an additional cost, but it was well worth the investment especially for this kids if they wanted a swim in the evening. Also a plus side Our rooms where sprayed for mosquitos daily.
Each evening, we frequented the 24/7 lobby bar. Contrary to some previous reviews, the bar was well-stocked with a variety of TOP premium brands, including Gordon's Gin, Smirnoff Vodka, whiskey, Schweppes mixers, Coke, Fanta, and more. We relaxed at bar before heading to the amphitheatre to enjoy there nightly entertainment which Diamond entertainment put on the shows, very entertaining and are incredible its a must to visit every night.
Throughout our stay, we spent our days at the Animation Pool, participating in the daily activities organized by the enthusiastic entertainment manager, Emrah, and his team. Emrah went above and beyond to ensure guest satisfaction and led by example. Every morning, Emrah conducted an invigorating water gym session, which was one hell of a session very experienced he is, he's that experience guests wanted him to do more as I/they found his sessions amazing. His sessions were filled with fun laughter he has an abundance of talent and definitely surpassed our expectations .
The hotel boasts four slide pools, a serene quiet pool, a large pool with a bar and a shallow section for children, and an activity pool. All pools utilize saltwater instead of chlorine which is amazing giving the natural ingredients.
The pool bars offer an extensive selection of drinks, including the aforementioned premium brands and some impressive cocktails. The Sunset Bar, accessible via a dedicated lift or stairs near the lobby bar, provides the same branded drinks as the other bars, ensuring guests don't miss out on their preferred beverages. While the bar offers stunning views of the sunset, its a must for photos the views are spectacular.
The main buffet restaurant exceeded our expectations. In our 11 years of travelling to Turkey, we have never encountered such an extensive salad and dessert section in an all-inclusive ultra hotel. The hot food options were consistently delicious and always served at the ideal temperature. Each night, specialty meat was featured, and the lamb legs beef and chicken were particularly noteworthy for their tenderness and mouthwatering Flavors. Also they has a seafood evening which was mouthwatering for you seafood lovers they had LARGE KING PRAWNS and SUSHI which was divine the spread was mind blowing to be fair if you guys like sushi, large king prawns with all the trimmings this is a must for you.
The outdoor snack bar, open from noon to 6 pm, offered a variety of options, including pizza, boneless KFC style chicken absolutely divine, burgers, salads, and more, making it an ideal spot for lunch. Additionally, ice cream, freshly made waffles, and Turkish stuffed flatbread were available throughout the day, also they a have 2 Barista for the coffee lovers.
All, the à la carte IT'S A MUST BOOK. The restaurants provided exceptional dining experiences with outstanding food. One evening we booked the Italian restaurant, where the ambiance, food, and service were truly remarkable. If trying there Italian note the steak is mouthwatering and divine the meat is so so tender.
The amphitheatre hosted nightly shows, ranging from external acts to performances by the animation team. These shows were preceded by the popular mini disco, which delighted the children, and followed by karaoke, bingo, and other activities in the snack bar area.
The hotel also features a disco that operates from midnight to 2am possibly 4 am daily, serving all-inclusive drinks along with there top premium alcohol However, the atmosphere can be somewhat subdued pending on the time of the season.
For any concerns or inquiries, Kelly from guest relations was exceptionally helpful and proactive. Even though our vacation went smoothly without any issues, she made a point of checking in on us regularly, demonstrating her commitment to guest satisfaction which in itself is second to none.
It's important to note that the hotel is located in a remote area, with the nearest town, Kusadasi being a 20-minute taxi ride away. The taxi fare to Kusadasi is approximately €15.
One of the highlights of our stay was the "Oktoberfest" event, which was an extraordinary experience. It featured various acts, rides, a barbecue, and drinks, transforming into a lively garden party that lasted throughout the day and into the early hours of the morning. We were nearly lucky to be able to attend the second Oktoberfest they had planned only the weather got in the way which was a situation beyond there control but it was great to experience the 1st one they put on.
