Anda Barut Collection - Ultra All Inclusive

New hotel, great facilities and clean rooms. Lots of activities for families with kids. Good food and lots of other restaurant options. Friendly stuff. Especially Özge was very helpful during the whole stay.

Alles was top!

Clean hotel, food and drinks were great! The rooms were really nice and had everything you needed. Robe, slippers, pillow menu, iron, hair straightener, soap and conditioner, fridge filled with soft drinks, water, beer and snacks. The room I stayed in was a swim up pool, now it’s on the side of the construction where there is a new hotel being made and the noise isn’t as bad as everyone makes it out to be which was another worry, I’m not sure how it bothers people when you have everyday car noises outside your own house and you hear kids running and having fun in other areas of the hotel. Therefore I wouldn’t let that put you off. I knew booking al Carte was going to be an issue because I done a lot of research prior reading reviews and therefore just ate Al carte for lunch time and dinner ate at the buffet which had so much options and it was great this wasn’t an issue for me as buffet has so much options yes it’s overwhelming but after day 2 you know pretty much what you want to eat. The drinks you can choose pretty much what ever you want, there is a small portion you pay extra for and that’s just for like expensive vodkas, wines, redbull ect which you don’t need to drink unless you really want it because most things are included.They nice enough to create different cocktail if you wish, I found the lobby bar to best do this. The facility is nice, water park so much fun for adults and kids as well and then in the evening they have like 2 rides and bumper cars that opens in the evening for kids and I found it entertaining for an adult. They have adult section swimming pool not heated it was cold but as the days got hotter the pool warmed up and so I was able to swim in it, there are also heated and non heated pools in the community area and I didn’t use the pool where the families are but I’m sure they were heated for the kids. I like that they have these different sections in the hotel.

Sometimes a bit of language barrier in terms of when ordering for an example drinks it’s misunderstood at times especially if you want to swap an ingredient like soda water instead of sprite or make a coffee say in a certain way like latte with a syrup, they get it wrong. I always felt bad so I don’t usually say anything. But this is something I expressed to the manager and she understood and said she expects waiters to understand. The swim up room the pool is so cold you can’t use it, now I’m sure this might not be a case later in the year but in end of May it’s still cold so it wouldn’t be a room I would pay extra for unless you just want to use the sun lounges in your room, which again my room only had sun in the morning time anyway by afternoon there wasn’t any sun so this could be also why the water was so cold. It is expensive at the hotel so I recommend any sunscreen, mosquito spray, tablets , water inflatable etc to bring with you anything you may need

Exceptional stay! Our stay at this hotel was absolutely wonderful. The whole place feels truly luxurious — from the beautifully designed rooms to the spotless cleanliness throughout the hotel. The food was outstanding, with a wide variety of delicious options that exceeded our expectations every single day. The service was smooth and professional. Everything worked perfectly, and we always felt well taken care of. A special mention goes to Mrs. Sibel – the heart and soul of the hotel. She was always ready to help with anything we needed, with a warm smile and genuine kindness. Her presence truly made our stay even more special. Highly recommended – we would love to come back!

Very nice and modern with great facilities

Beautiful hotel with amazing facilities,food and staff who work very hard to make the holiday special but I have to highlight the noise complaint. Not sure why nobody else has really spoken of this but if you like to lay in past 6am this isn’t the hotel for you. The hotel is located very close to a local mosque with a sound system to rival a stadium. I’ve included pics. At 5.57 the first call to prayer is blasted out the speakers and is so loud at any part of the hotel it woke my whole family daily. It lasted approx 5 minutes. This happens 5 times a day. We moved room after a tense discussion with reception who advised us jet 2 should make their customers aware of the closeness of the mosque so they can make an informed decision on the disturbance. They don’t. I fully respect the religion and the prayer however had I known how close the hotel was to the mosque I wouldn’t have booked. I value my relaxation time and my holiday is the one week I don’t have to worry about waking to an alarm. 3 children under 8 awake daily at 6 am makes for a difficult week. This aside the hotel is incredible in every other aspect. Modern,meticulously well kept, beautiful rooms,views,food and facilities it is pure luxury. I’ve attached images of my first room for context on the closeness of the mosque. Trip advisor won’t allow a video so please message me or comment and I’ll send it to you. You can hear the call to prayer is very loud so imagine how bad it was from the first room which coincidentally are the 9 family rooms overlooking the water park. I’m still battling with Jet 2 for some compensation or at least a change to their hotel description. If you are an early riser then book the hotel it’s incredible.

For context, my husband and I have been incredibly fortunate to have enjoyed extensive worldwide travel and have stayed in many luxury 5* hotels. This trip to Anda Barut Collection in early October was our 20th all inclusive holiday in Turkey. Recent visits to the Antalya, Dalaman and Bodrum regions have included stays at XO Cape Arnna, Regnum Carya, NG Phaselis Bay, Voyage Torba, The Residence Fethiye and Cullinan Belek. Elsewhere in Europe we have been privileged to enjoy holidays at 6 of the 7 Ikos resorts, Crete (Stella Island), Rhodes (Mayia Exclusive), Balearics, Canaries, Portugal, Cyprus, Egypt, the UAE and various Caribbean destinations where we have stayed at Rixos, Barut, Voyage, Excellence Resorts, Secrets Resorts, Royalton, Jumeirah, Marriott, Riu and Hyatt hotels. Our 7 night stay in an adult zone, double room with sea view was booked through easyJet Holidays. We arranged return private transfers with Maxi Tour which took 65 minutes from Bodrum airport to the hotel and 55 minutes on retun. When planning a holiday we typically opt for contemporary, upscale hotels with a choice of a la carte dining options and Anda Barut more than met our preferences on these counts. We loved the contemporary architecture, the multiple clean, attractive pool areas and the stunning picturesque backdrop and stylish design of the resort. Highlights: • We loved the spread out, uncrowded feel of Anda Barut, although in hotter months walking between facilities might be less pleasurable than during October. • The extensive choice of included a la carte dining options for lunch and dinner was a stand-out feature of the hotel and probably the top highlight of our stay. In light of the challenges faced by guests using the app to book a la carte restaurants, we were fortunate enough to dine in one of the a la carte restaurants every night of our stay. If this had not been possible we would have taken a taxi to Akbuk or Altinkum to dine rather than use the buffet. • The gym was top class and very well equipped, and the quality of the facility far exceeded that at XO Cape Arnna, where the choice of cardio machines was very limited. • The patisserie was outstanding with plenty of seating, great service and varied choice of all things sweet and delicious! • The tiered design of the theatre area, with additional seating in the Community pool bar area also overlooking the stage, was much more appealing and attractive than the one-level seating at the Cape Arnna theatre. After the theatre shows finished there was often a DJ at the bar. Additional observations: • Our check in experience was very underwhelming in comparison with other hotels. We arrived in the early afternoon, so there were plenty of staff around, but we weren’t greeted or shown to the reception desk or seating area or offered a welcome drink. Not a big deal but not a positive first impression either. • We also felt that the lobby area lacked soul and atmosphere in the evenings. It’s a spacious area but the lights were too bright and stark. Some live musicians or a DJ would have been welcome in the early and late evenings especially as the weather was quite chilly to enjoy sitting outside. In fact, live music or a DJ around the adult pool bar, or in the a la carte restaurants at lunchtime and in the evening, would be a brilliant addition. • Unfortunately, despite assurances from the hotel before arrival that our stay would not be impacted, the noise from the Akra Didim construction site across the bay was constant for the 7 days (and some evenings) of our stay. It could really only be heard in the adult zone however this was where we spent our time. In fairness, I feel that this issue was somewhat reflected in the competitive price we paid for the holiday and, of course, the heavy construction noise won’t be an issue once the new hotel opens next season. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay at Anda Barut and, in many ways, we preferred some aspects of the hotel to XO Care Arnna, especially when taking into consideration the difference in price point. We would definitely consider a return visit in the future.
