Guest Reviews

• ameliacH7910VP (8/5): amazing. - We had a lovely time here. rooms was amazing we were the top floor of one of the villas. food and drink was amazing. atmosphere was good however entertainment wasn’t the best but a good bar variety. the water park was amazing and the you get free entry with the hotel which is amazing. however you need to buy food and drink in there which is very expensive would be better if water was included or you could take it in. the hotel is on a huge hill up to the restaurant which was a treck especially because it was so hot in summer and humid. we went to blue lagoon which was green and so not the best and paradise beach was nothing special. we also went up babadag mountain which was amazing and came back down while the sun was setting which was amazing. no complaints really everything was good all i would say is the photography try’s to get your photographs a lot but we avoided him.
• 589leahj (10/5): AMAZINGG COME HERE - AMAZING the staff is so nice I made friends with like 4, the food is good for both picky and not, but they do the same food like every night which is a bit annoying but the pools are amazing and loads to choose from with different depths. Snack bar with amazing food and ice cream at 4. Everyone is so kind and so much to do in and around the hotel drinks are amazing I recommend traffic light mocktail rooms are so cozy loved it!!
• lesmQ8914UP (10/5): The best - 5 star hotel been 2 times to this hotel going back in 2027 food is great something for everyone entertainment is top notch
• hierror2025 (6/5): Nice and Average hotel. Not 4 stars hotel. 3 Good Star Hotel - Nice hotel and staff. They gave us beautiful bungalow. Very happy with that. Food ot desirable. Do t understand why in London Turkish food is so good. Not here when should be but we survive… always something available to eat as was Buffett Bear in mind, No Internet, very weak. Need to be careful.When we got home we got charge £200 with mobile company as children and husband used without realising.
• 375ose (10/5): Customer service was amazing - It was a fantastic holiday with good entertainment and food with three meals every day and snacks, with cocktails for long hours. Mrs Buse and Memo were amazing to us. they are part of the entertainment team and their energy was amazing all the time. They were so kind to us also.
• Pathfinder707773 (10/5): Amazing holiday in a fabulous hotel - Amazing staff, even though it was winding down for the end of season all staff so welcoming and still all smiling, all helpful nothing too much trouble. Great food and chefs showed great pride in work and presentation of food. Lovely pools although very cold but could just be due to the time of year. Cleaning excellent rooms and hotel spotless. Rooms a lovely size, clean and plenty of storage with safe and mini fridge in room. Spa on site we didn’t use but heard lots of fantastic reviews from fellow guests. Waterpark was a fantastic addition, kids really enjoyed the days we spent there. Fantastic location so easy to hop a taxi or dolmus right outside hotel in to Hisarano, Fethiye, Oludenez and the blue lagoon. Evening entertainment was a little lacking but hotel occupancy would have been low and the animation team couldn’t have tried any harder to engage the guests, perhaps could have been more going on at the pools during the day for the kids but that really is my only slight negative. Thank you so much we have loved our stay with you and would recommend to anyone thinking of booking for 2026. We are couple who travelled with our 2 daughters Aged 14 and 11 and each brought their best friends along too.
• dawnmB9155AW (4/5): Poor management and not taking any responsibility - At first visit this hotel was lovely and the villa was perfect for our family holiday. Until my daughter got hurt and no one cared enough to check or even sort the issue that caused the accident. We arrived monday afternoon and after going to our room we got changed and went to the pool and straight away my husband noticed the broken tile on the steps to the main pool. He went to reception and reported this. The following 2 days it poured of rain so by the Thursday when then sun came out the girls were so exited to get in the pool. My daughter sliced her leg on this broken tile and missed out on 2 days of her holiday as not being able to get in the water at the pool or waterpark. When this happened entertainment manager informed the management, So on the same day when they came to the pool taking photos and discussing the broken tile as tho the didnt know. We were told someone was going to speak to us and we were there another week after this and we heard nothing. We spoke to 4 different management throughout the week and never got any communication or information. The day we left the tile was still broken and nothing had been done to keep anyone away or even informing anyone about it. We kept telling other guests to keep their kids away from the steps. And to make this worse I reported this to my travel agent and the reponse they got back from the hotel was saying nothing had been reported and nothing had been said to them from us. Which is a lie. I hope anyone who visits this hotel haven't had to deal with the management as you will be waiting a long time. Oh and the 2nd last day during dinner 4 owners/management came around the tables asking how our holiday had been etc and I said even then about what had happened and he just brushed it off. Definitely wasn't interested.
• sarahcO2605NU (10/5): Amazing hotel and staff - We have just arrived home from a beautiful holiday. The hotel staff, from reception, cleaners, chef’s and entertainment were incredible to say the least. They couldn’t do enough for you. The food was lovely, the rooms were spacious and clean. Rumi, who cleaned our room was particularly brilliant, it was my birthday whilst we were there, she did a beautiful swan towel display on our bed. The entertainment was amazing too, we are waiting for them to pop up on the booking sites and we’re going back in May. Can’t wait. ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
• jodiehY9897EM (10/5): ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ - We had such a lovely holiday at Orca world hotel 😊 The entertainment was amazing and the entertainment leader kept things lively with non-stop fun and laughter. My son loved the pool games which he hasn’t stoped talking about. The staff were all so happy and friendly, they would remember your drinks and your name and was also happy to help . The Food was flavorful and lots of choice too. I’d definitely come back and visit again we are looking to book again next year ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
• 804jessik (10/5): Mehmet is the life of the entertainment. Wonderful stay - I was so happy with my stay, that I plan to go back every year, I went with my mum, sister, her 2 children and myself and my twins who are 3. The staff go over and beyond to help you, they are so friendly and they give you so much advise where to go what to do. I had the pleasure to meet Mehmet, such a kind soul and he was so friendly with us all. He told us all about the entertainment, and even got us involved when I’m super shy, which did wonders for me. He did such an amazing job with the water sports activities in the pool. Me and the kids couldn’t get enough. He was so reassuring, kept asking if we needed help or anything, told us about the attractions that we didn’t even know about, he even helped plan some of the days out. From the rooms, to the food, to the entertainment, I’m so glad we chose to stay here. We travel a lot as a family and I honestly feel that no where I have stayed before, the staff have cared so so much. I highly recommend this hotel to everyone, so clean and tidy. I will see you next year 😊
• emmagZ8604IM (10/5): Amazing team and hotel! - Just got back from 2 weeks at orka world hotel and Aquapark and all I can say is what an amazing hotel!! The food is amazing so much to choose from and everything I tried was so flavourful, the kids mostly lived on nugs and chips but tried other things which they didn’t last year at another hotel we went to. The entertainment staff were the BEST!! The made the stay so much fun from kids club to yoga and evening and day entertainment. All the staff couldn’t do enough for us. We even got upgraded for free as we were in two separate rooms. I would only say downfall is some of the rooms are a little dated but I think this is being done gradual. I loved the dated look tho as reminded me of rooms when I was younger and being on holiday. Waterpark is an added bonus and perfect for a couple hours. The location is good too lots of shops and places to eat. Everyone’s been so friendly. Would 100% recommend and want to come back! Thank you orka world all your staff and team have made our 2 weeks brilliant. We have a 5/6/11/14 year old kids and we also cane with family and friends.
• anngI9739JO (8/5): Lovely holiday - Very friendly staff. Good entertainment. Lovely evening meal. Enjoying our stay in Orca world and the water park. May be back again soon.
• elliotg936 (10/5): Very Good hotel, waterpark and food - The villa was very clean and spacious. The bathrooms around the hotel were all clean Entertainment at the Hotel was very good, especially on the 29th for the Turkish holiday. There was plenty going on throughout the day. The food has been really good, all staff have been very helpful and kept everywhere tidy. You can pretty much eat all day if you wanted to. There was a daily shuttle bus to the waterpark, it's also within walking distance. The waterpark is ideal for families I would come here again.
• robyngX3725MF (10/5): Great overall - We had the best time as a family, the food was great and a lot of options. The entertainment was also good during the day, the evening entertainment was also good with live music and fun games for the children. The staff was great especially Mehmet, we would definitely comeback again.
• Passenger43352456805 (10/5): Orka World hotel and aqua park - "I had an amazing time at the hotel and plan to return with the rest of my family soon. I visited with my son for my birthday. The staff went above and beyond to help us, offering friendly advice on what to do and where to go. I met Mehmet, a kind and friendly staff member who made us feel welcome. He provided entertainment options every night, and did a great job with pool water sports activities. He was reassuring, helpful, and knowledgeable about attractions. The rooms, food, and entertainment were all top-notch. Given our family's travel experience, I can say this hotel's staff genuinely care - more so than anywhere else we've stayed. I highly recommend it - it's clean, tidy, and wonderful. See you next year!"
• Emma_lou2092 (10/5): Amazing holiday made better by amazing friendly staff - Just got back from 10 days here, the rooms were really nice, clean and spacious. The food was beautiful and the staff so friendly. Big shout out to the 3 entertainers (2 ladies and man) they did amazing keeping the kids entertained and the adults, so accommodating and friendly joining in themselves and always coming to check how your holiday was they sat and chatted to us getting to know us and we enjoyed their company, the kids loved them too they made the holiday so memorable for all of us not just the kids. Thank you so much for everything we will miss yous ❤️
• H7922FQnickc (10/5): 1st Holiday to Turkey - An amazing time at this beautiful hotel. ALL of the staff were brilliant, always there to help with anything. The food and drinks available were great, so many options, variety of food every day. My son loved the ALADIN drink, my daughter the MICKEY MOUSE. This was our 1st time travelling to Turkey and I have to say, it was wonderful. We made some amazing new friends while there. The Spa staff were lovely, my wife & I enjoyed a lovely session there which was amazing. Mehmet & the entertainment team were brilliant. Always providing things to do during the day & night. Getting people involved and always so friendly. Some suggestions to look into......the main swimming pool although beautiful, was VERY COLD & VERY DEEP. This made it difficult to do much unfortunately, making it more shallow would allow for more activities such as Aqua aerobics, water polo & maybe a pool/foam party. My daughter wouldn't get into the pool as it was so cold which was a pity. We did a number of excursions such as, paragliding with my son, cable cart to watch the sunset & a boat trip to 5 islands which was stunning. We will definitely look to come back again. 5 STAR 🌟
• Y6676TOrachelc (10/5): Wonderful 1st holiday to Turkey - Amazing week at this hotel. Myself, husband and 14 year old twins (boy and girl). We had a 3 bedroom villa, which was very clean and so spacious. The hotel itself was beautiful. The staff were really helpful and friendly from reception team to restaurant/bar staff. Food was very tasty and there was a lot of variety (I dread to think of how much weight I have gained lol). Great variety of drinks, husband has found a lovely of rum and coke!!!! Entertainment....Mehmet and his team are simply the best. Providing fab entertainment not only during the day but the evening too. My son thoroughly enjoyed the killer darts and "fighting" with his dad on the pool gladiator inflatable. Suggestions.....The pool is very deep, unable to stand up...no shallow end and it is VERY cold...my daughter didn't go in because of this. I would like to suggest that making a shallower end to the pool would allow activities like aqua aerobics, water polo or even a pool party and warming the pool would be good. I would definitely have done more activities if this was the case. Also, maybe a tennis court or basketball court would be good too. Venturing outside the resort into Oludeniz, the locals were very welcoming and friendly. My husband and son did paragliding and they both said it was mind-blowing, an experience they will never forget and we did a lovely boat tour that visited 5 different islands. All in all, we will definitely visit again.
• kirstylouiseh2025 (10/5): Amazing hotel and staff - Beautiful location, away from Any noise, nice and quiet at night. Staff are fantastic and always willing to help. Plenty of sun beds. Bottles of water always available for free. Entertainment staff always go above and beyond to make your staff more enjoyable with plenty of pool games, singing, dancing and they always make you laugh and are very polite. Kids loved it, everyday was something for them to do. Evening entertainment is amazing and the Turkish dance show was my favourite.
• 899philo (10/5): Great hotel - Lovely hotel, we had a family room perfect for a 5 person family,Mehmet the man who run the entertainment at the pool was amazing the pool games were good for adults and kids only thing pool 2 deep for water volleyball 🏐, all inclusive food was different Monday to Sunday but fresh, friendly service from all staff,not far from oludeniz 300tl in a taxi and a beautiful place to visit if you come here
• Flossie2012 (10/5): Great spot! - This is a lovely spot. The staff, particularly the waiting staff, are great, v hardworking. We had a downstairs villa room - there was a lot of noise from upstairs, not sure if more sound insulation needed. But otherwise the room was perfect.
• StuartFaulds1971 (6/5): Nice with Great staff but very poor management - Orca resort was nice. We stayed in a Villa down at the main pool. On arrival staff was pleasent and entrance welcoming but if you arrive on the Monday there is no entertainment on any Monday ? On arrival we done our checks and in the main pool at the steps there was a broken tile with very sharp edge off which i reported at main desk but nothing was done to make safe so my daughter on the Thursday got a bad cut on it. We reported it to Mehmet the entairnment manager and he could not off been any nicer, he took pics off her leg and the broken tile and spoke to management off which did not even have the decency to approach us for an explanation or a sorry so this is why we will never return to this resort. Its sad tbh as EVERYONE else was amazing and very friendly, Our favourites was Mehmet and the lassie from Entertaitment, the 2 young ones at pool seving the drinks and Engan the guy that cleaned up round pool. Love all off them. Another upset was during the 2 days rain the hotel did not go out there way to put entertainment on or any entertainment which was a poor show. Anyway nice wee place with great staff but very poor management and if you use the waterpark take plenty cash as they wont even let you in with water to drink.
• A7172KRgarys (10/5): Fantastic All-Inclusive Family Resort! - Wonderful villa and hotel complex with the waterpark included, great fun for all the family, the staff are all excellent and will go over and above for you, the food is good and available pretty much all day, evening entertainment is a good mix of live music, traditional dancing and fun activities, the entertainment staff (Jagmur and Memhet) are also very friendly and can't do enough for you, such nice fun people, the place is very clean and tidy, would definitely visit again!
• beatagH2710WU (8/5): Our stay October 2025 - Review of Orka World Hotel and Aquapark (02.10–16.10.2025) Family of 4 – 2 adults, a 17-year-old teenager, and a 9-year-old child. We stayed at Orka World Hotel for 14 days, and overall it was a great experience with just a few small downsides. Weather: If you’re looking for guaranteed sunshine with no risk of rain or cloudy days, October might not be the best choice. Two years ago, the weather was perfect, but this year we had three rainy days and one cloudy one. Luckily, our stay was long enough to still enjoy plenty of sunshine, but for shorter trips, October can be a bit risky. Of course, that’s not the hotel’s fault – the weather is beyond anyone’s control. Pools: There are only two main pools. In October there’s enough space for everyone, but I can imagine it gets crowded during the high season. There’s a constant “battle” for sunbeds. The hotel posts signs asking guests not to reserve them, but no one really follows this rule – and honestly, I understand why, as it’s hard to find four sunbeds together. For children, there are only two very small paddling pools, which is not enough, especially since the other pools are at least 140 cm deep. Also, the pools are freezing cold in October! Aquapark: Absolutely beautiful, large, and full of fun attractions. However, the water is also very cold. The biggest downside is that you can’t bring your own food or drinks inside, and the prices are extremely high. A beer costs 270 TRY, soft drinks 180 TRY, and the pizza – though expensive – isn’t big and there’s not much choice. There are weight limits on some slides. Interestingly, the issue is often underweight children, not overweight ones. I appreciate that safety comes first, though. Food: Before coming, I read dozens of reviews about the hotel and was pleasantly surprised. The food was much better than expected! Breakfasts were delicious – fresh bread, cheese, eggs, vegetables, toast, baked beans, a great selection of cereals, fruits (fresh and dried), pancakes, cold cuts, and more. Honestly, if someone says breakfast is repetitive, I’d love to know what they usually eat at home! It became our favorite meal of the day. Snacks were a bit repetitive, but I treated them as an extra option since lunch was served at the same time. Dinner offered both repeating dishes and some new options every evening. Ice cream was available twice a day – scooped ice cream in cones, several flavors. Drinks, both alcoholic and non-alcoholic, were tasty, and the bar staff were always kind and friendly. Rooms: We stayed in an upper-floor villa with three bedrooms and a bathroom. The rooms were a little dated but very comfortable. Ground-floor rooms are already renovated and look more modern. There are flat-screen TVs (not smart TVs). Cleanliness was outstanding – a solid 5 stars! I travel a lot, and this was definitely one of the cleanest hotels I’ve stayed in. Our cleaner, an older gentleman, was absolutely amazing – polite, cheerful, and so attentive. The room was spotless, beautifully arranged, and smelled wonderful every day. Entertainment: The animation shows were average, but the animation team itself was fantastic – especially a wonderful woman named Yagmur. She should be promoted and given a big raise! Her warmth, empathy, and sense of humor made every day better. Even during rainy days, she spent time with guests and kept the mood up – which really matters when the weather isn’t perfect. Yagmur, you’re the best and I’ll miss you! The rest of the team was also very nice. Excursions: I highly recommend paragliding, but keep in mind there’s a 50% surcharge if you weigh over 105 kg – something the organizers don’t always mention. Also, although the package says “everything included,” there are extra fees for photos. Scuba diving was great, but there were only two dives instead of the promised three. Jeep safari was a total disappointment. It cost £20, but it wasn’t really a “jeep” or a “safari.” Mostly mountain driving with a lunch stop where you had to pay extra for drinks and most of the activities (like water guns or zip line). No one tells you what to bring, and honestly, I wouldn’t do it again even for free. Complete waste of a vacation day. Surroundings: Beautiful landscapes, lovely nature, and a few small shops and restaurants nearby. Taxi rides to bigger towns cost around 200–400 TRY one way. In Ölüdeniz, kebabs cost 350–550 TRY, fries 200 TRY, and soft drinks 100–150 TRY. Additional tips: It’s worth bringing Turkish lira. You can pay by card for trips, but there’s usually an 8–10% fee. The same goes for ATM withdrawals. Cash is simply cheaper. I hope my English is understandable, as it’s not my first language – and I hope my review helps future visitors! Overall hotel rating: 4.2 / 5 Rating for our cleaner and the amazing Yagmur: 6 / 5 Thank you, Orka World Hotel, for a wonderful holiday! Beata ( Makao family) !
• O2656UEcharlenes (10/5): Perfect family holiday - Location is perfect lots to do and some beautiful places to visit. Weather at this time of year is just right. The only down fall is that the pools here are freezing, which isn’t bad if the temp is above 30. Food is good and there is always plenty of it. As a family and our first time to turkey we loved it. Staff are friendly and very welcoming. I would recommend this place.
• nicolahamonda (10/5): Relaxing 10/10 fulfilled holiday - We arrived at this hotel in the afternoon, check in was quick and easy and we were taken to the annex by a member of staff in his car because it is separate from the main complex. The room was a swim up very spacious immaculatly clean with a stocked fridge and lots of tea/coffee. The Annex is situated across a small dirt road and has its own snack bar and cocktail bar with a few swim up seats, and it's own reception although there was noone attending this in the week we stayed. The main restaurant and entertainment is on the main complex it's only a short walk but it is uphill not for the unfit lol. The food was 10/10 as a fussy eater who always eats out on my all inclusive (I'm more about the soft drinks and coffee) I was really impressed with the food quality and the range of food on offer. One night it was king prawns one night it was kebabs I honestly have never eaten so well on an all inclusive before. The entertainment most nights was really good. First they have something for the kids then the adults. I will say the lady who called bingo on the thu night spent more time flirting with the guys then actually calling the numbers (over an hour to call one ticket)YAWNNNN The staff are excellent so hardworking the cleaner was a lovely lady who went above and beyond and the spa on site was a real treat if you get the chance have a scrub and massage 50.00 pound for an 80 min treatment it was worth every penny. The gentleman that takes the pics is really professional I would highly recommend. Outside the hotel is a little place where you can book trips, they are really good value I would recommend the Dalyan mud bathes and turtle bay it was a long day but one of the best trips I've done and I've been to Turkey a lot. I would definatly go back to this hotel again in a heartbeat, it was an amazing holiday.
• paigek506 (10/5): My experience was amazing - Everything was amazing, staff was kind, food was good, room was lovely, pools are beautiful, yoga was relaxing everything was fab.
• E6335SFrachelk (10/5): amazing - the atmosphere here is great all the staff are so friendly and helpful good range of food highly recommend morning yoga also so close to the town and the beach
• CammyKay23 (10/5): Best place for a family holiday!! - Best hotel I have ever been to amazing rooms, great food, amazing people, 2 in particular that made the whole experience so much better, Cem and Yagmur couldn’t thank them more. Everyone is so family friendly. Yagmur helped so much with morning yoga I highly recommend. Cem just all round a great person and great to have a laugh with. All staff are amazing all the bars are great and the bar staff work wonders. Thank you to all staff I met while I was here! Hotel is a must.
• lorraineg235 (10/5): First Family Holiday - Absolutely fantastic two weeks holiday. I would definitely recommend this hotel. It's so clean and all staff are totally amazing and friendly and they helped make it a great holiday. Food was great plenty to do.
• marckF2787BL (10/5): Excellent - Staff are so friendly the whole place is so family friendly the food is amazing and the atmosphere in general is so great also morning yoga is the best i highly recommend
• D9828ISlaurak (10/5): Best hotel - Best hotel for the stay we have even though it rained they kept us entertained , the staff are soo friendly and welcoming they are the best team ever
• N2151BMmelanieg (2/5): Awful, ruined with all inclusive - We first visited this hotel in 2018 and had the most amazing experience. We were so excited to return. It’s not the same! The old friendly staff are all gone and now it’s all inclusive it’s filled with families and kids screaming and shouting into the early hours. The family pool was closed for most of our time putting pressure on the top pool. Towels were out on the sun beds early so you had no chance of getting by the pool anyway. The food was mediocre at best and although it was all inclusive we ate out everyday in Hisarönü as meal times were like watching packs of animals scramble for food. The staff whilst smiling still could barely speak English at all so just smiled a lot. One evening a family was shouting and screaming with their children from 1am - 2.30am with no one seemingly interested or bothered about other guests trying to sleep. The villa we stayed in was very tired and grubby with peeling wall paper and moldy windowsills. We love Hisaronu and will be back but will never stay here again. Shame because it was a beautiful hotel.
• scottj277 (10/5): Brilliant place to see - Brilliant place for families, tho i did go with a friend(no kids). We still had a brilliant time. The hotel was really nice, nice smart rooms with decent food, the cakes being the star for me. The location is in beautiful area with plenty to do and see. I would recommend blue lagoon for a day . Also very Good local foods and bars nearby allso. The Staff are brilliant and fully deserve a special mention as they all was so polite and helped make it special for all. So thank you all for the memories and a brilliant time. Would recommend to anyone
• rikkis148 (10/5): Best holiday ever!! - We recently came home from a lovely 10 day holiday at Orka, as a family of 2 adults and 2 kids. We honestly had the best time ever, the staff go above and beyond and you could see they really cared about socialising with our kids, they were kind and playful. Room was cleaned every day, entertainment team were brilliant, me and my 8 year old son went and played darts everyday and they loved the pool games! Big thank you to Cem and Yagmurrayik. They were honestly rays of sunshine and made our stay here even better. Water park is great, we went shopping in Fethiye and it was fab, really cheap to get taxi’s to and from. Also went on a day long pirate boat trip which was amazing, £75 for the 4 of us and lunch included! Definitely recommend it
• Pioneer47408024819 (10/5): Ocean Spa Wellness - Came to Orka Sunlife for the weekend and met TJ at Ocean Spa who provided us with great service and was really helpful. TJ became our main point of contact and was extremely helpful. We were 4 friends, and TJ created a catered hamam and massage plan for each of us, which we went through together and we all came out feeling extremely rested and relaxed. Would definitely recommend. 10/10
• 559SusanH (8/5): Management poor customer service - The general staff were very friendly and helpful, but most of the managers were very rude, aggressive and were not willing to help, accusing us that we were only complaining to get a free hotel, if your room was flooding for 4 days and reported, wouldn’t you complain when you got paint coming off the walls because they were so wet, We’re move eventually when a different manager was on duty, he was brilliant sorted it at once could not have been more helpful the other two need to take lessons in customer service
• leonied968 (8/5): Great family location - Visited for 10 days with family. The staff were very welcoming and helpful. Rooms were acceptably clean; we had an issue with leaking air con vent and had to address reception several times. Otherwise the room was freshened up and restocked daily for what was required. The Holiday Pool is where we spent most of our time; great vibes and music, and a very deep pool which was fantastic for playing with the kids, but inflatables are a must due to pool depth! The connected water park was a great addition, with free entry and free shuttle transport, although only two trip times (10:30 there and 17:30 back) which is a long day. Taxis are only 200TL (£4) so this worked better for a half day. Perhaps an afternoon shuttle bus could be added for an extra trip there/back for those only wanting to spend half the day there. The water park was closed for 3 days due to an international boxing competition which took place at the park, but as a replacement, free transport was provided for the beach and entry to the Blue Lagoon instead. The hotel is a sensible walk away from shops and bars nearby for time spent outside of the hotel, or this is approx 200TL (£4) for a taxi ride, with taxi rank just round the corner from the hotel. There are shops nearby for essentials/extras but you could get by with not leaving the hotel if preferred as mealtimes and snack times are plenty with ample food choices for adults and kids. It was great to try a large variety of food, especially the fantastic range of salads and cold offerings. We visited the spa on a rainy day, suggested by Mehmet who was very helpful and advised us on recommended treatments. The Animation Team were friendly and welcoming, and did well to encourage people to participate throughout the day. Mini disco was advertised to start at 20:30 every night but was actually 21:00 which sometimes felt too late for kids who were getting tired and grumpy. Special mention to Yagmur who had such a positive and calming energy, she was so friendly and great with the kids too! I enjoyed morning yoga sessions with her and she was a delight to get to know and to talk to; she even suggested places to visit nearby too. She is a credit to the team and made the holiday memorable for me.
• Connector64745335075 (8/5): Could have been better and as advertised for entertainment with no football or volleyball - Okay, so accommodation we had a villa and it was spotless for abroad, clean and decent facilities with a bathroom and shower, kitchen and lounge. Food was different every night but if you don't like cake/cream pastries for pudding then you're stuck. No English puddings,.although I did have a cheesecake made upon request for our final night. Drinks were great with plenty of.options but just one beer choice. EFES The disappointment was actually the problem with activities and entertainment advertised. We picked the hotel because it had the water park. It was closed for 3 days due to some boxing event with a poor alternative option of a beach with no similar fun to be had, meaning I had to pay for activities instead on the main beach. Also it was meant to be a fully activities hotel to keep my teenage lads happy. 17 year old was looking forward to football and volleyball all of which was advertised and even in the hotel, but none of it was offered with killer darts, a session of gladiators and trying to throw a ball in a ring on a paddle board the only highlights which were on 2 days of the 7. So he spent most of the holiday fed up and in the villa as he was bored. We were told the entertainment team was changed 3 months ago and the previous one did all the things advertised. I suggest you keep the things advertised in place or remove them to avoid disappointment. Evening entertainment varied and again sometimes was not as highlighted on board. We made plans to come back early one night for Karaoke to find a terrible kids Magician instead. The Latin dancers were great though on one night. Maybe you could sort out and have in place with a complimentary return having ruined my eldest sons experience and time abroad with none of the advertised activities available
• emilyu516 (10/5): Orka Workd Hotel Experience - Orka world hotel, where do i start, i visited this hotel as of September and i loved every moment, it was a pleasure to stay in such a beautiful resort, the workers and staff are incredibly welcoming and friendly ensuring guests have the best experience. The catering was amazing with a large variety of food for foodies and picky eaters. Not only was the food fantastic, The Daily entertainment was by far my favourite, for all ages allowing all guests to be involved from mini discos for the youngsters to incredible performances leaving you amazed at the end of the night. The facilities at this hotel are amazing ensuring there is something for everyone from all inclusive food and drink to large pools! I couldn’t recommend this resort enough to anyone and I will definitely be booking again!! Thank you Orka world hotel for such a lovely experience.
• ryanbN4132JA (10/5): Entertainment team - Loved Buse and Yagmur! Both the loveliest ladies you have ever met. They are so friendly and had all the time in the world for you. Buse did the children’s entertainment and had everyone up dancing and singing every day. She made the time to mingle with the tables every night and I love her to pieces. Yagmur was equally amazing. She did a lot of the daytime entertainment and her yoga was incredible. She was a brilliant teacher and I wish I could take her home. They both deserve the absolute world and I wish them all the best for the future. They definitely made the trip.
• Curiosity40271311575 (4/5): Not the family holiday we’d hoped for. - Stayed here for 10 nights, booked the annex and were ‘upgraded’ to a villa but it was no upgrade. The shower door was broken even after telling staff multiple times, the bath was not somewhere I’d want to get washed and the beds were solid. The main pool area is beyond loud with constant music blaring out. Staff were okay but the member of staff at the small pool bar was questionable, looked unkempt, huffed and puffed when asked for a drink and would often disappear for long periods of time. The evening entertainment was very same same most evenings and the ‘kids disco’ was often just music playing while kids were feral because parents didn’t pay much attention. And speaking of feral we witnessed multiple arguments between guests, drinks being thrown and even a fight. Most people with or without kids were drinking from dawn till dusk with very little care for others around. And I never saw a staff member trying to calm or defuse any of these situations. My son also had a breakout of irritation on his legs that spread. He’s now on antibiotics with a skin infection from dirty surfaces/pools so that’s a lovely extra. Access to the water park was great although 10:30am drop off and 17:30 pick up was a long day so we always got a taxi back much earlier. Location is great but that’s about it! Oh and the most lovely lady who makes homemade chocolate crepes most days, she was the best part of the holiday. If you have young children and don’t want them to witness scenes out of shameless I’d avoid.
• libbyr254 (6/5): Not worth the money - We’ve visited as a family and it was very mediocre. The price for this trip was very high but was sold as everything we would need and suit our 2 year old perfectly. Firstly we were put in the wrong room to what we were sold which was the first of the disappointment. Our aircon has smelt of sewage the whole time we were here. After reporting the problem it was never fixed as they said they don’t have anyone to sort the problem or unable to swap apartments. It’s incredibly average. Wouldn’t pay to stay again. Rooms are shockingly outdated and basic. However, music by the pool creates a fab atmosphere, plenty of food and drink options available. Lots of options for pools. Local towns for evening shopping. Waterpark is fab despite not being told it would be shut for 4 days of our stay which wasn’t communicated either until we arrived.
• U6655QYkimw (10/5): Best Holiday with Cem - This is our first time in Orka Hotel. We can not find any fault with the staff and hotel. Food was good. Entertainment is great! A special shout out to CEM!! What a talented man he is. We had one evening listening to him play the Clarinet. Would highly recommend this hotel!! You wont be disappointed. See you next year!
• Sherpa41243540744 (6/5): 3 stars just about - the room was nice and the staff were friendly. However the wifi was shocking and practically useless as it disconnects every 5 seconds, not just an issue for me but an issue for everyone. The food was okay at best. Lots of kids, most weren’t behaved with parents not caring. for example one child was putting her shoe inside the fridge with all the water. maybe wouldn’t be a bad stay if you have kids. if you want to relax then this may not be for you. can see why most of the reviews mentioned fights. This is the type of people staying in this hotel
• cdO1793PL (10/5): Revist and the changes made. - What can i say... We were here in june for my sons birthday and decided to come again. I am baffled by some of the reviews but do know everyone is different, but there honestly is something for everyone at this hotel. Please bear in mind when you book this hotel is placed on the side of a mountain babadag!! So there will be an incline in the grounds of the hotel but there are ramps an lift to try and aid those less mobile, i have recently had a change to my health and even though have been before now appreciate the ramps and lift more. I did venture for a nosey over to the anex its about a 2 - 4 minute walk from the bottom pool, however i did speak to a guest who said if you give reception a call with a bit of notice they can arrange a car to take you to the main reception for breakfast and the walk back is all down hill, they did have to be paitent as the shuttle is used for lots of purposes. The grounds off this hotel are absolutely stunning and the garden staff are very knowledgeable about the insects and flowers should you wish to use google translate to talk to them. The spa i had a 1 hour stress massage and honestly came out feeling amazing and the price deff made it better, i had weyane and her hands are like magic. The food in the resaturant well they have steped it up since our last visit and finally have a Dairy Free desert, a proper dairy free brownie (pictured) and some gluten free options too. Its a start now they just need to add in a dairy free ice cream (not sorbet) and a few extra flavours on the ice cream selection for dairy eaters!! Oh and the turkish pancake lady can do a sugar pancake that makes it Dairy free too!! Just ask her. Honestly the food was great even my fussy beige food eater ventured to try some of the dishes. The menu selection had something for every one even shepards pie and roast potatoes and roast chicken plus fish and curries every night was different, the executive chef has definitely up'd his game i do hope he stays. My food picture is one evening it felt like an a la carte meal. If you have a question about the food they are always happy to help. The entertainment what happened?? The entertainment in the evening is outside shows coming in and always an excellent selection, however where did icoud go?? The new guy while i understand he is new and finding his feet seems to have lost his rapor with his staff an concentrating more on what he can't do rather than what he can!! The mini disco some evenings was latter which wasn't great for the little ones and no 16+ wants to do baby shark at 10pm at night!! The pool does let the place down a bit and deffinately need some attention over winter, it was originally this deep as it had the flume going into it (showing how long i have been coning now!) but there is no reason for it to be this deep anymore and should be top priority this winter to keep the guest coming back!! The pool could do with some more entertainment and the entertainment staff need a eye catching uniform so they are easy to spot, you didn't need it with icoud as he was always visible!! Some game ideas for the guys : Water polo on pool noodles- use the noodles like riding a horse it keeps you afloat to be able to play the games in the to deep pool. Horse racing in the pool - as above use the nooodle like a horse race to the other side. You can do both of these for kids and adult version. The addition of the pool inflatables is a massive hit and the kids throughly enjoyed them however the staff need to manage the queing system better so people do not cut the que an leave some children disappointed waiting extra times for there go. The addition of the football area and leaving the lights on late made my sons day an he spent the evenings playing football as the shows don't interest him. I honestly love this place the hotel staff are always so amazing friendly and helpful, the waiting staff and restuarant staff are always so helpfull and it is kept spotless. Ahmet makes an amazing pina colada an helped me with my turkish. The rooms are forever changing and being updated they are always clean and the cleaning staff will go above and beyond to help you. The feel of the hotel is family orientated and very relaxing. The hotel is about a 15 minute walk to the strip for shops and restaurants but the taxi rank is next door and the bus stops outside, if you need advice on anything at all guest relations or Hakan on reception are the people to talk too. The only thing that lets the place down sometimes are the all inclusive guest who can't handle there alcohol, an while the staff try to manage it as best they can they can only do so much. They try very hard to not throw people out of the hotel an work for a solution but do have a 3 strike policy. If these people could choose another hotel it would be much apreciated!!! The hotel can't choose who book to come!! I haven't seen any of the mentioned drunk people in other reviews when i have visited but i guess i do go to bed before the clock stikes 12! If you have the opportunity to try this hotel you won't be disappointed.
• Poppylo (6/5): Great location, reasonably good food. Lots of room for improvement - The hotel is in a good location. Our room was basic but fine for all you’d want as a base. Food was varied and snack bar was nice too. Holiday pool is extremely deep and probably not safe unless you are a strong swimmer. Saw some injuries during a game with a massive inflatable at the pool. Looked fun, but at your peril! Staff are hit and miss, some are lovely others just grunt. We experienced theft by the staff, totally unacceptable attitude regarding this. Our property was taken and confirmed by other guests who saw this. Hotel totally denied this and couldn’t care less. Said they could find no one to corroborate that it happened. Hotel could be so much better if they had a cosy seating area for drinks outside. Not hard chairs in overwhelming earshot of the entertainment team. Night time entertainment has to be watched from the dining tables and it’s loud, you can’t really hear what’s going on. Shop is extremely expensive, supermarket next door is cheap. We won’t return but really only because we felt driven out in the evening with no option to sit and comfortably enjoy a drink and a chat. Lots of alcohol following which was nice but some people were incoherent drunk.
• _M9631MI (10/5): Amazing experience that exceeded my expectations! - That was amazing experience that exceeded my expectations! The hotel facilities, room services, food quality and variety of desserts are exceptional. Especially I want to thank the stuff for being very attentive, helpful and friendly. Highly recommended Orka World Hotel&Aquapark and waiting for the next summer to come again there!
• Z4812DMmichaelq (4/5): Need a holiday after tbe holiday - Had food.poisonimg 3 times , partner and kids twice, many people in the resort also suffered food poisoning . One night a guest was a bit loud and the hotel manager grabbed him by the throat totally blowing the situation out of order , this resulted in a scuffle which then lead to military personnel with machine guns in hand storming through the middle of the children's mini disco.evening entertainment. This then resulted in my older 2 being afraid to go to breakfast tbe next morning through fear they were going to be shot. Trying to calm a 6 and 7 year old and reassure them they were safe was impossible. Especially my 6 year old son who has autism and adhd, he was petrified. Then your jet 2 rep on the transfer to the airport proceeded to humiliate me infront of a full bus then continue to be patronizing and condescending to me despite me telling her I was upset and really offended by her comments. For the amount of money spent on the family holiday I feel very upset
• 245lorris (8/5): Great staff but poor entertainment manager - Arrival and check in very quick and we were upgraded to a swim up room which was lovely thankyou ! However most of the steps to each one are broken and need fixing ! The annex is seperate and a walk to the main hotel in the heat at times was a chore ! We were told you can call for the car several times we were told not available would I like a taxi ! The cleaner Ermine was the loveliest lady and greeted us each morning on her arrival our room was kept immaculate and she was very hardworking and a credit to the hotel she is fantastic . The entertainment team the girls were friendly but the entertainment manager was rude and every night threatened to cancel the show as no energy by the end I wish he had as he had no customer relation skills and was rude to our party . The mini disco was short and sweet been to other hotels where it is better for the little ones . We visited the water park fantastic value for what you get however be warned the shuttle bus has its own times not what they state on the board and 8 of us were left to get a taxi back as they had left before 5.30 . The security lady was also very helpful . The staff at the pool bar and all others make this hotel good . Having visited turkey for many years that is the worst entertainment team we have come across if this were changed the hotel would definitely be worth a visit .
• Lina_alegaidy (10/5): Incredibly beautiful and seamless stay - We have recently stayed at Orka World Hotel and Aqua Park for a quick family vacation . The thing made me to write down this review is mainly the staff, who were super friendly and helpful. The hotel and its facilities was well maintained, Pools, gym,spa, kids area, soccer area and the waterpark itself. perfect for both kids and adults. It was well prepared to spend your vacation inside the hotel and enjoy each moment,Entertained during the day and night. The location is excellent for us , there was a nearby taxi station and a bus station as well which made exploring the area more convenient. My family and I had a great time and would definitely recommend Orka World Hotel and Aqua Park to friends and anyone who is looking to spend a vacation to relax. Would like to thank everyone there especially the General manager Mr. Soner who was surprisingly around there, asking his hotel guests about their vacation and their stay and how comfortable they were (a thing that l've never seen before in any hotel). Also would like to thank Esraa, Mehmet, Yagmur, nazgul.. and many more.
• Paradise52022299721 (10/5): Superb staff - give them all a pay rise / tips - We’ve just returned, travelling as a family of 5. Not our usual choice of holiday, but we sought out a one week all inclusive deal before sending our youngest off to university. I feel we benefitted from staying outside of the peak season not only on price, but overall comfort. We stayed in standard rooms with balconies adjoined to the hotel. Cleanliness was excellent. Noise levels were higher from 9-11pm due to the entertainment but tolerable. As an all inclusive resort, the choice and quality of food was fantastic. We don’t go for the family entertainment, but must give the upmost credit to the animations team. Trip Advisor reviews constantly highlight Yagmur, who is deserving of recognition. A fantastic yoga instructor but more importantly someone who takes time to know and engage with each family member. Cem is a new addition to the team, and adds fantastic balance to the team. Great poolside playlists, but ultimately a genuine person. Exploit his salsa skills and prowess as a blues saxophonist, and make sure you’re on his darts team! OW need to ensure they do all they can to retain both - what assets!! Mentions also to Mehmet. The spa experience (Turkish bath and massage) is a must. Ahmed is also on hand to take family photos with a sunset backdrop. We ventured to the waterpark for a morning. Although the hotel put on a free shuttle, it was an easy walk to and from (maybe not with younger children). A great place to visit but take note of the reviews re onsite costs for refreshments and lockers, despite the free entry for OW residents. Public transport passes the hotel every 10 minutes from Fethiye to Oludeniz and is so cheap. Holiday highlights were swimming in the sea at the Blue Lagoon in Oludeniz, and taking the Babadag cable car to 1900m - stunning views. Ultimately, the staff are the heart of this hotel. Make sure you tip the unsung heroes from the bar staff, waitered service, chefs, room and poolside cleaners, lifeguards, and reception staff. They all put in a shift and a half for you.
• A6588YJellas (2/5): Diabolical - Worse holiday ever!! Never been so happy or wished too be home from a holiday as much as this 1. The holiday was sold as the bees knees for kids loads of activity ect and its diabolical!! Outrageous entertainment Fights happening within the restaurant and staff do nothing police arrive and still keep these people on site around kids who are terrified after watching!! Food poisoning within the full family from eating raw chicken and these accepting that its fully cooked and wasn't them that caused it even with proof of photos and head chef telling us it was bad they then left the food out for others Pools slabs around the pool are loose risen and a hazard my daughter sliced the full front of her toe tripping over this! Took again more photos too show management
• libbyhD4610AK (10/5): Amazing holiday - Had the best time at this hotel! The staff were all so lovely, the food was amazing, and the entertainment team was great, we had lots of fun around the pool. Would definitely come back here :)
• M782KHdaniele (10/5): Fab holiday - Very good experience food was fantastic Cem was especially good from the entertainment team made us feel very welcome the room was fantastic all staff was very attentive and couldn’t ask for more
• johnwL5540HP (10/5): Good entertainment - The entertainment was brilliant cem was one of the funniest guys av met! Food was okay more Turkish nights would of been better Hotel was clean and tidy Great hotel
• E919NKsarahj (8/5): Enjoyable ⭐⭐⭐⭐ - Came for a weeks holiday with two adults and two teenage boys (15yrs). The arrival welcome from the hotel was the best I've ever had. Room service was great and all staff were friendly and helpful. Food was decent and the variety was great. Our room was in the annexe which had its own pool but it was a short walk from the rest of the complex. Not ideal but we got used to it. Be aware, if you book a room in the annexe be sure to check it's what you see in the photos! Our room was on the second floor and was way too small for four of us- we paid extra for what we thought was going to be a ground floor room which had a terrace, but this wasn't the case. If you are wanting to do shopping, there is a main strip with lots of shops and bars which is roughly a 10-minute walk from the complex. Several pools to choose from and daily activities. The aqua park is not actually on site but there is a free shuttle running twice in the morning, and then back in the evening. Probably only a 5-10minute walk but a great day out. Best to take cash to the aqua park as you need to top up an electric wristband for food and drink, which you cannot take in yourself. If you top up with cash you will get any remaining money back but if you top up with card you will lose any remaining balance. Overall was a good holiday but we've had better for less. Special mention to Yagmur who is an amazing yoga teacher and just lovely and very helpful. Cem who is a great DJ and was making sure we had great tunes all day by the pool and also made all the activities such good fun.
• 743keeleyg (2/5): Hotel is bad - This hotel is absolutely disgusting we are here with our disabled son and up to now we’ve witnessed 3 fights the staff do nothing the food my god if this was in England the place would be shut down the rep for TUI is vile and the hotel manager even worse
• shabzd2024 (10/5): Orkas World Hotel Exceeded expectations - Genuinely this place exceeded expectations as I had booked very late and only a few weeks back! I had the most wonderful time the staff were all fantastic from the Minute of arrival to the day we left! So much variety for food, lots to drink clean swimming pools and also had a yoga session with Yagmur who was so calm and friendly with a friendly nature, the teacher from the Kids Class was so friendly and very approachable she kept the kids entertained and Big shout out to the Night Manager as well as Food and Beverage manager Faysal Begic always spoke so politely respectfully always wanting to ensure our needs were met. The Aqua Park was so amazing for kids and families enough to keep them entertained 🫶🏼
• Esep123455 (10/5): Amazing Hotel, Amazing staff - Very beautiful hotel, always something going on, the entertainment team are the best I’ve seen, would 100% recommend.
• 154waynep (8/5): Great hotel but some sad negatives - Sad to be home, just spent 11 days here with family and friends, they was 8 of us in total 5 adults and 3 children . Positive’s - Great location, lovely hotel, stunning villas, brilliant staff especially in the spa and reception, great food although it did drop off on our last week, only did jacket potato’s once even after been told they’d do more but never did, very comfortable beds, friendly atmosphere. Some decent entertainment Negative’s - Pools to deep ( main games pool needs a shallow end so family’s of all ages can be together at the same pool . And could play games like water pool . Entertainment was good but isn’t long enough , we only got 2 hours in the day between 3pm-5pm and 2 hours in the evening between 9pm - 11pm ( the mini disco needs to start a lot earlier like most other hotels around the world, 9pm is far to late. It would work better if dinner was from 6.30 instead of 7. So mini disco could start earlier. Plus during the day it would be a missive improvement if they also do a pool game or pool dances around 11am/12pm time, I don’t think darts a yoga is classed as entertainment. But it did improve slightly on our last 2 days when the entertainment girl returned to work after she’d been off for a while . The entertainment team do try hard but lack experience and can tell they are a new team put together, but 4 hours a day isn’t enough. We did have a great holiday but wouldn’t return to this hotel until the entertainment is done longer during the day and starts earlier in the evening. The bars are really quiet near the hotel but a 10 minute walk or £4 in a taxi in to hisaronu is well worth doing because the bars there are amazing especially Malibu cocktail bar and efes garden bar , really lively family bars in hisaronu and we are already planning to come back next year , either to Orka if things improve slightly or do another hotel in the area, hisaronu and stole a place in our hearts, we loved the place
• blossom000 (6/5): Family holiday - We booked this particular hotel as it fitted the criteria for the children, the amenities offered were just what we were looking for and upon arrival we found the rooms to be pleasantly modern and comfortable. The food also had something for everyone in case of fussy eaters, staff were also very friendly and welcoming HOWEVER this is where things change, as a family hotel I cannot understand in 2025 why there are no designated smoking areas for those who smoke, being a children friendly hotel I found it ignorant that at the dining tables outside loads of people smoking all around, the hotel should designate a smoking area and not make non smokers and children have to suffer with other people’s smoke, the other gripe is the hogging of the sun beds, people would reserve the beds at silly oclock in the morning and then selfishly go off to the aqua park all day why just why??? The amount of beds is already few for the amount of guests, the hotel needs to implement a non reservation policy and actually enforce it, I wouldn’t go back but that’s not to say the hotel itself is not bad just not my type of place unfortunately.
• 707cherriem (8/5): Family holiday - We stayed as a family of 7 with 3 kids ages 9,3,6 , we had a brilliant time we booked again for next year ! My opinions :- Pros - free Waterpark entry this made our stay the kids loved it! - spacious room and balcony - staff were polite and friendly - food was great although Sundays we went out for dinner as it wasn’t up to our standards then - close to town and taxi rank near by and supermarkets - mini fridge with water - no sunbed wars!! AMAZING - pool towels - the spa was to die for <3 - iced coffee was brilliant Cons:- - pool area could get very dirty, had floating rubbish in the inside pool and surrounding areas and so much debris on the floor inside the pool. we only saw a pool hoover once even the next day there was still sand and stones in the bottom, also a cracked step that my son hurt his leg on but we didn’t let that ruin our time was still great! Comes down to the guests not cleaning up after them selves aswell. We even saw a kid gob on the floor. - the entertainment was to loud for the kids but they got used to it after a few days - onsite shop was very expensive but supermarket outside 3 min walk away so no problem All in all was really good look forward to being back next year thankyou!! :)
• Helentiful (10/5): A great place for a family holiday - Our family recently returned from a stay at the Orca World Hotel, and I can honestly say it was one of the best holiday experiences we’ve had. It really is the perfect place for families – offering comfort, cleanliness, and a wonderfully welcoming atmosphere throughout the whole complex. From the moment we arrived, it was clear how well kept and spotless the entire hotel is. The grounds are immaculate, the communal areas are tidy, and there’s a real sense that the staff take great pride in maintaining the place. We stayed in a three-room apartment which was spacious, comfortable, and had everything we needed for a relaxing break. Each room was equipped with air conditioning – which was an absolute blessing during the heatwave. It made such a difference to come back to a cool, calm space after being out in the sun. The hotel has two outdoor pools as well as an indoor one. Both outdoor pools were beautifully maintained and inviting. One of them was very deep – so deep in fact that it wasn’t possible to touch the bottom – but the water was crystal clear and a great option for confident swimmers. The indoor pool, on the other hand, was extremely cold. It would have been nice if it had been slightly warmer or if there had been an option to move between the indoor and outdoor pools more easily. Like many resorts, sun loungers did get “reserved” with towels, which could be frustrating at times. It would be helpful if staff were able to remove towels after an hour or so of no use, as this would free up space for other guests. When it came to dining, we were pleasantly surprised. While some reviews mentioned that the food could be repetitive, we found there was a great variety. The salad selection in particular was always fresh and delicious, and there was enough choice to keep everyone in the family happy. The entertainment was another highlight. The programme was fun and engaging, but the Turkish dancing night stood out as a truly memorable experience. We loved being encouraged to get involved – it made the evening even more special. One of the best aspects of Orca World Hotel was the staff. Every single person we met, from the leadership team to the gardeners, was polite, friendly, and welcoming. They went out of their way to make our stay enjoyable. Our cleaner, in particular, deserves special mention – she was kind, helpful, and always ready to assist us whenever we needed it. The only small downside of our trip was when we booked a Turkish bath and massage. While the treatment itself was absolutely wonderful, we later discovered that other guests had negotiated the same package for £15 less per person. That meant we ended up paying £75 more than necessary. It didn’t spoil our holiday by any means, but it was a little disappointing. Overall, though, we had a fantastic time at Orca World Hotel. The cleanliness, comfort, facilities, entertainment, and outstanding staff all made it a memorable holiday. I would wholeheartedly recommend this hotel to anyone, especially families looking for a relaxing and enjoyable break.
• F4L0X (10/5): Falling in love with Ölüdeniz - The hotel is an absolute gem, thanks to its visionary creative manager and exceptional staff. The manager’s innovative touch shines through in every detail, from the stylishly curated decor to the unique guest experiences that make every stay memorable. Their bold ideas and passion for hospitality create an atmosphere that’s both welcoming and inspiring. The staff, equally remarkable, go above and beyond with genuine warmth and professionalism, ensuring every request is met with a smile and impeccable service. Together, they make this hotel a standout destination, blending creativity and care for an unforgettable experience. Maybe someday we’ll see You guys again :)
• koz206 (10/5): Pool party and drink - it's hard to drink all the alcohol from the bar, the shows are nice, the pool parties are led by a handsome guy. Full trip was very nice and for sure i recommend this place.
• adriannas577 (10/5): 100/10 - The entire trip was fantastic. The quality of the food and service were top-notch. The daily pool activities were varied and it was impossible not to be bored. The bar service was also top-notch. P.S. Amele is the best content creator.
• kevintQ2823XK (10/5): Good family holiday - Really nice hotel, staff all friendly. The night we arrived there was a mistake with our room so had a hand written letter by the manager and sorted the room the next morning and given late checkout when went home as im sorry so great customer service. The hotel is central for most locations and because quite a few steps on the complex I only put on 5/6 pound while away for 11 nights lol. Only negative is the main swimming pool is 7 foot in the shallow end and other 2 pools are 5 foot. Overall had a great family holiday highly recommended the jeep trip and dalan turtle days. Hazel the jet2 rep was great
• Roving33211 (10/5): Reps and friends the making of a holiday - This holiday was the best we have had, food was excellent the annexe accommodation was fabulous the staff were friendly and could not do enough for you, I would particularly like to thank yagmur who took the darts sessions, yoga and aqua fitness she worked tirelessly to make sure we had a good time and encoui us to take part in all sorts of activities that we normally did not do, because of her we made friends which makes this holiday stand out please pass on my thanks to her
• 399jaideb (10/5): Lovely - Best hotel I’ve ever been to so much fun workers are so funny and nice best experience I’ve ever had Sanchez is very good person
• T1923JJamandae (6/5): Great time , WiFi does work just have to log in when moving areas. Food great. - We've just returned from the Orka where a family of 8 stayed. There is no slide at this hotel, that is an old picture that needs removing. The pool areas are decent , no shower though. The WiFi is good, you do need to log in when moving areas so I'd recommend screen shot of your passport number. The food is lovely and plenty of selection, Monday night was the only night we weren't impressed. Breakfast is lots of egg ( that's healthy) alos fruite pastries, plenty to choose from. Ice cream, we got this once and the man servicing it had disgusting dirty hands so that went in the bin, staff lack hygiene and some staff clearly don't like being at work, especially at the upstairs bar. The rooms are very clean and we thought plenty of room,no different to any other holiday. The pool board as a tear in it so no good. the one site shop.. don't waste your money, £25 for a snorkel set that didn't work and it was substituted but with another poor item. There is a shop on the right of the building that has much more variety. Hisaranou is a short walk downhill or a taxi 200 £4 we ate out twice amd both times the food was gorgeous. We all enjoyed our stay, this hotel though is a 3 star, no shower around pool and there's also a big chip out of the steps with no rail so my parents struggled to get in and out of the pool. The entertainment around the pool was limited but still enjoyed and one day there is a giant inflatable which kids loved. Night time entertainment want up to our standards and our room was directly next to the stage, still lots of people enjoyed it. the hotel food manager is a lovely man, great English and always laughing and smiling. Thank you to the kind staff that did. make our stay enjoyable. If you've booked you will enjoy it. Oh the waterpark... go early.. about 2 hours in you will queue and its so expensive, we didn't stay long.
• christophermM8020LI (8/5): Fantastic Family Holiday - We’ve always loved Turkish hospitality, and Orka World didn’t disappoint. Weather was perfect (32–37°C) and the food was the best we’ve ever had at an all-inclusive, with plenty for kids too. Great choice of pools: a quiet one by the main restaurant, and a lively one with music, snacks, and activities. My daughter loved kids’ club and made friends every day. So impressed about the management team who regularly go around from table to table and speak to the guests and ask how our holiday was and if we had any problems. Downsides: serious shortage of sunbeds unless you’re up early, weak air con in the main restaurant, and the waterpark is unwelcoming to larger guests (they weigh you publicly before slides). Waterpark food is overpriced, and ATMs charge 7.99% — bring cash if not paying on card. Ice cream only served 16:00–17:00 daily. Highlights: friendly staff, excellent photographer (Ahmed), fun evening entertainment (though bingo drags), and free bottled water fridges around the resort. Overall: Fantastic food, lovely staff, and great for families. With a few fixes, it could be perfect. Orka World Hotel – Ovacik, Turkey Stayed: 03/08 – 13/08 ⭐ Pros: • Best all-inclusive food we’ve ever had – plenty for kids too • Friendly, welcoming staff and great Turkish hospitality • Two pools: quiet & relaxing, or lively with music and snacks • Kids’ club was a hit – daughter attended daily and made friends • Excellent photographer (Ahmed) – great value and quality photos. We can not recommend this more to capture memories. He was great with our children, especially our Autistic daughter. • Free bottled water fridges around the resort ⚠ Cons: • Not enough sunbeds unless you’re up at dawn • Weak air con in main restaurant; outdoor seating too hot • Waterpark publicly weighs guests before slides – uncomfortable for larger visitors • Overpriced waterpark food • ATMs charge 7.99% fee – bring cash • Ice cream only served 1 hour daily (16:00–17:00) Verdict: Brilliant food, lovely staff, and fantastic for families. A few tweaks could make it near-perfect. REMEMBER TO BOOK AHMED THE PHOTOGRAPHER.
• EmmaT_8822 (8/5): Small, pleasant resort - worth a visit! - Arrived late at night and were greeted and given some sandwiches, which was welcome after a long day of travelling. Transfers are nearly 2 hours from Dalaman Airport. We were given a 3 bedroom villa with a balcony overlooking the bottom pool, a wonderful view of the mountains and the resort and very peaceful. The rooms were clean and comfortable. The apartment was cleaned daily and the staff were all friendly and great with the kids. The fridge was stocked daily with plenty of water. The hotel has a total of 5 pools (3 being paddling type pools for babies/toddlers). We mostly went to the Top Pool by the restaurant as it had easy access for the kids, shade and close to WC's and drinks and a tiny baby paddling pool). The 2 smaller pools at the bottom are good for children aged 5 and under as there is a toddler paddling pool. The main pool was very deep and we had children aged between 6 - 10 so did not use this pool. There were plenty of beds left by 9am and plenty of brollies, so no usual mad 7am dash to get sunbeds reserved, a bonus of a smaller resort. A visit to the Annex pool with the swim up bar is definitely worth the short walk in the heat, but is a quieter area of the resort as it includes the swim up room apartments). The water park is not on site, but transfers for those travelling with a tour operator get a free shuttle bus in the morning and afternoon. We used the private taxis to leave as we left before the 5:15pm shuttle pick up, which cost 200 Lira (£4). The reason for a 4/5 star review is that the waterpark is NOT part of the all inclusive offering. Whilst access is free, you must load up a digital wristband to buy even water. Any water, drinks or food is confiscated at the doors with a bag search, but labelled and given back upon leaving. A single burger is about £10-£14, so be warned about buying meals here. Even Coca Cola is expensive. Be prepared to take plenty of currency (GBP, Euro and Lira are all accepted locally) Any unused credit when depositing in cash only is refunded in Lira on exit, however if you are paying by card, you will not get any funds returned to you. That being said, the waterpark is done out like Disney's Aladdin, to a Disney standard and reminded me of the Orlando Disney water parks. There is plenty for all ages and swimming abilities here, so definitely worth a visit. The food at the resort was brilliant, with the usual kids beige offering, the salads were abundant and food was different every day, although not much meat and no pork as it is a Muslim country, however the Sunday Roast was lovely. The desserts are the usual you would find at these types of resort. The all inclusive drinks offering was also typical of resorts with Efes beer, wines, spirits & mixers and cocktails. The evening entertainment was good, although the mini disco starts late at 9pm. Monday is the Events team day off, so there are no activities or evening entertainment that day, but Hisoranu is a 200 Lira (£4) taxi ride away, although very samey with knock-off brands galore. The onsite market shop is very expensive, however 2 doors down from the hotel on the street is a reasonably priced supermarket very similar to Alid/Lidl. We bought branded suncream on card for £3.80, rather than the £12 at the onsite shop. The Spa is brilliant and will often give a 'special discount' to couples wanting the longer treatments, however this seems to be a way of persuading couples to buy packages. My husband and I had the £110 package, which is advertised PP, however all the couples in our group got the couple for £110 altogether. It was worth it though. We had a sauna, turkish bath and relaxing massage after, which included a facemask and fruit teas afterwards. Wifi isn't perfect, but is useable, despite having to keep logging in whenever you move, but we didn't feel the need to use it much. The resort overall is fairly small in comparison to others I have been to, but this is a positive as it doesn't take an age to get anywhere, especially in the August heat! I would definitely recommend to families and groups travelling with children, but not to adults only seeking a quiet resort. We had a fantastic time :)
• KasiaH150 (4/5): A bit of messed up - We were traveling : my husband and I , our 10 year old daughter , my 15 years old son and my son’s 15th year old friend. We booked family room which meant to be like a 3 separate bedroom suite. Unfortunately on arrival we were given two separate bedroom. Not even next to each other. Our room was overlooking horrid back alley, next to staff room. There was large like loud refrigerator and smell of drains was very strong. Straight away we stated that we are not happy with two separate rooms . I’ve said I’m not happy to have boys in separate rooms and not actually be able to look after them through the night . Anyone could enter their room , like also they could sneak out .. unfortunately we were told there is no other rooms at the moment but they will look into this . We were ask to come next day , the following day were were offered large 4 bed room. Was 5 of us so I don’t know how this supposed to work . Also I think is inappropriate for us to be in the same room with our sons 15th year old friend . We refused to accept that room . After many reception visit we were offered villa . Sadly this was on our 3/4 day. Meaning the boys would sleep on their own, unsupervised for 3 night . I couldn’t relaxed . I was super stressed and worried… The other unfortunate mistake , was that my son was given a gold hand band on arrival - which is for adult . At first I didn’t really understand what those bracelets means, we were tired after long journey at night, than given those separate rooms- I just didn’t think about those bracelets . Well boys quickly realised and use advantage of it . So basically they been served the alcohol on first night. I’m not sure how this mistake happened as on arrival the receptionist said , two adults and 3 children, plus you handling the passports so they can see kids DOB… So not only boys were not supervised over the night but also under the influence.. However I would like to add that staff around resort is very friendly and polite . Food was great, and dinning area very nice and clean
• lauramI3713LC (10/5): Amazing family holiday and we would definitely return - We have just returned after 10 nights at this hotel in one of the 3 bed villas. We had a wonderful holiday. We thought the food was great - plenty of choice and variety. Everywhere was clean and tidy. Beautiful views and grounds. My daughter LOVED the kids club. The waterpark is fab! The staff are all really helpful. The Spa was amazing! Lovely local bars just outside the hotel and a good location to go exploring to nearby towns. We would definitely return. ❤️
• justjuliec (8/5): Fabulous Family Holiday - This hotel is set in stunning gardens that are well maintained amongst a backdrop of mountains that the sun majestically rises from. We were a party of 4 families with children. We were welcomed on arrival and 3 of the families were shown to their rooms. Sadly one party with small children had to wait in the lobby for an hour, which was strange as it was 6m! Also we were not given the towel cards that you need to collect your beach peels from the spa. We were placed fairly near together, although one room was clearly not the room we had booked it’s worth noting if you have an annex room it is on another site across a road. The food cooked at this bar at the annex building is made fresh on order and very good. The rooms were cleaned to a high standard. The annex room shower was amazing and the hairdryer in this room was brilliant. The pools were warm and well maintained. We preferred to sit at the ‘quiet’ pool where there were plenty of sun beds and umbrellas. We were treated to water aerobics everyday! The main pool had activities and music. The food was very good and replenished regularly. A great range to choose from. One point I did find strange is how the ice cream is only served for an hour at 2 points in the afternoon and evening! Drink selection was great. Easy access to Ölüdeniz, 300 lira for a taxi there (go early) The main shopping strip is a 10 to 15 minute walk when you turn right out of the hotel or 200 lira in a taxi. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Bar staff remembering drink orders all served with smiles. I did find it uncomfortable how some managers spoke to staff. It was not professional to treat people this way and especially not in front of guests. One point to be aware of is that being a Muslim country there is the call to prayer. There were a couple of Mosques nearby and the call through the speakers at 5am can be heard clearly. Overall a lovely hotel in a great location with many great points. I would definitely stay again. Thank you Orka world for a lovely holiday with beautiful memories.
• katielJ2678IS (10/5): First family holiday abroad! - This was our first family holiday abroad and first time visiting turkey and we had an amazing holiday! Hotel: due to MIL having a disability we requested ground floor where only basic standard room was available so we was placed in main hotel, though our balcony faced a brick wall we did enquire about moving but decided we liked the privacy and only use room for rest etc anyway so no issues with room. Staff: all staff extremely friendly, helpful, hospitality 10/10. Management even spoke to everyone with the chef and introduced themselves and asked feedback which I thought was nice touch! Hotel: very clean we stayed in main building and used mostly top pool due to water being not so deep for children and closer to room plus bottom pool wasn’t many available beds. There so much choice in main restaurant even though my daughter ate spaghetti everyday but loved how much choice there was and there’s loads of restaurants on same strip of hotel also. Evening entertainment was really good and enjoyable and kids entainment kept them busy, feedback would be that maybe start earlier as it started at 9pm but that’s just my own personal feedback. We visited the Waterpark twice which both amazing long days and not too busy considering August. We did black pearl & jeep safari day trips which will do separate reviews, but highly recommend Jeep safari! Overall I have no negatives for this hotel it accommodated everything we needed and we didn’t have time to experience everything this hotel had to offer as we only did 7 days but would definitely consider visiting again!
• H7599UVlisav (10/5): We love the staff here🫶🏼 - Amazing staff and amazing animation (Yagmur) we love youuu. The food is AMAZING. It was amazing, staying here. The people at the spa are also very nice
• leannemc912 (10/5): Excellent hotel, amazing staff - Would highly recommend Orka World.....this hotel/holiday has created some amazing memories for our family We arrived at nearly 10pm. Check in was prompt and we were provided with a snack and plenty of water. All cleaning/maintenance staff very friendly and polite, they work so hard. Our room was kept clean, the surrounding areas; immaculate. The food was excellent, plenty of variety at each meal time. The snack bar is particularly handy throughout the daytime and ice creams delicious. The animation team ncluding Yagmur are amazing! The morning yoga sessions she provides really do set you up for the day. (Having never done yoga before she explained everything really well....something I will continue with now we're back home) Thanks Yagmur! The waiting staff are friendly and super efficient. The bar staff outstanding. We mostly used the holiday pool which had a fantastic atmosphere: music & pool games throughout the day. There are plenty of activities to do (if you want to participate). Lots of sunbeds around the pool too if you prefer to just relax....which we never had an issue getting even later on in the day after attending the waterpark. Yes, you have to pay for food and drink at the waterpark but we attended between meals and only spent on water. (Slightly frustrating as we feel you should be able to take this necessity in with you) However there is plenty to do, short queues and our boys were all happy (ages 10, 12 & 17) Overall an absolutely amazing holiday, made even better by the fantastic staff. Our children (as were we) super sad to leave. Hoping to book this hotel next year and would definitely recommend.
• breyd0nm (10/5): Truly amazing family holiday - Just got back from a week away at the Orka world hotel and aquapark and it did not disappoint. Could not have asked for more from the time we arrived to the time we sadly had to leave. The accomodations we excellent and were cleaned daily, we had a family garden room which was ideal for what we needed and plenty big enough for our family of 5. Food was amazing with plenty to choose from and a different menu everyday which our children thoroughly enjoyed, we used the restaurant for mainly breakfast and evening meal, the waiting staff were incredible and very hard working ensuring tables are cleared of dirty plates promptly, we generally stayed around the family pool area at lunch times, which has a snack bar where you are able to have burgers, chips etc that kept us full until our evening meal. The pool area was great, the family pool was quite deep but helped our youngest boys build their water confidence. There is plenty to do with inflatable fun games in the pool as well as darts games, water aerobics and yoga which keeps you busy if you like that sort of thing. The animation team were superb especially Yagmur who made us feel welcome from the off and made a real fuss of the boys throughout our stay. The boys were very sad to leave. The entertainment in the evening was also very good and varied nightly. It usually consist of mini disco taken by the very hard working kids club member then it could be anything from Turkish dancing, magic shows, street dancing and belly dancers. We unfortunately only managed to go to the water park on one of the days but it is well worth the trip, they are a little strict on taking you own drinks into the park which was a little disappointing, as the weather was very hot and the cost of items in the park were expensive but apart from that we all loved it and would definitely go back again. In summary one of the best holidays we have been on and are looking at going back again next year for 10 days this time as 7 days just wasn't enough.
• Seaside01730757368 (10/5): Lovely staff - Orka world hotel is one of the best hotels I have stayed at. The facilities are brilliant, the rooms are lovely and clean and the grounds are kept well maintained. But what really made the hotel as amazing as it is, is the staff. All staff were friendly, hospitalable and genuine. Yagmur was always making sure I was having fun, got me up dancing and was happy to have a laugh and a joke with me. She made my holiday and made me feel like I was part of a family. Mira was also so kind, I have never seen someone work so hard and have a continuous smile doing it. Johanes was always up for a joke when making my drinks and wr had many laughs together. Muhammed (Tom Cruise cause of his moves when making drinks) was also extremely friendly and had a good laugh with him too. Lastly Mehmet was so friendly and had some good conversations with my daughter who speaks Turkish when he came to clean the paths and floors I was made at home and it's thanks to all the amazing staff. Love Sandra
• breydonm424 (10/5): Highly recommend - Great holiday destination, couldn't recommend this hotel enough. Lovely hotel with very friendly staff. Cleanliness was top tier. Entertainment team were awesome, Yagmur in particular was very accommodating and fun, the yoga sessions were very enjoyable and calming and the gym was adequate, as I attended most days and didn't feel bored. Bar staff and waiters always had a smile on their faces and were happy to have a chat especially Muhammed who was someone who stood out for his positivity and energy, food was tasty and had lots of variety.
• Skalidis9 (8/5): A wonderful family holiday - We travelled as a group of 15, and had booked into four rooms. We arrived at 18:00. On arrival, we were greeted by some of the team who were incredibly friendly. Ten of our party were staying in the Annex, and we were taken there. The remaining people in our party waited to be shown to their room. They did not get shown to their room until 19:00 - not ideal after a long day travelling. Food and Drink: The food is a buffet service for breakfast, lunch and dinner, and there are snack bars at the main pool and the annex during the day. We ate at all options during the week, and could always find something we liked. The evening service had themes for each night, so there was plenty of variety. The bar service was good, Efes is a lovely beer on a hot day, and there are a selection of cocktails for both alcohol and non-alcohol drinkers. Hotel and Grounds: The site is hilly (as is the whole of the surrounding area), and beautifully maintained, some rooms in the main building at the top and others spread out across the rest of the grounds. It was lovely to walk around, and we got our steps up! The annex is completely separate from the main site, about two minutes walk away, which we were not told about by TUI, but would have been useful to know. The rooms in the annex were relatively large and kept clean throughout the week. They were relatively modern; however, there was a lack of plugs next to the bed. There was only one plug on each side of the bed and no USB or USBC sockets either. All rooms in the annex are described as having a pool view. The rooms on the middle floor have a balcony that overlooks the main annex pool, whereas the rooms on the top floor do not have this view. They have a view looking in land and the only pools that can be seen, are the private pools below, and only when standing and looking directly down. This did feel like false advertising to us. The air conditioning is able to be left on during the day, even if you’re not in the room which is a nice touch and all the beds were comfortable and a good nights sleep was had by all. Pools: There are three pools at the hotel: one at the annex site, a quiet pool at the main resort and the main bar which has music and food and a bar around it. We visited all three pools during our day, but preferred the quiet pool at the main resort. Getting some beds at the pools seemed absolutely fine, some people put their towels out early and stayed there, others put their towels out and left, other people turned up late during the day but still seemed to be able to get a towel. One thing to note is that the pools are all relatively deep: all pools are 1.5 m except for the main pool which is 1.5 m and then goes deeper to a depth of 1.7 m. There is a children’s pool which is a lot shallow; however, we did not visit this. Staff: Staff at the hotel are wonderful. They always greet the guests with a smile, work incredibly hard and are eager to please. We did, sadly see a couple of occasions when line managers reprimanded staff in front of guests. This should have been done away from the guests, and in a more polite manner. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay and it was a fantastic family holiday. We would definitely visit again; however, the few issues we saw with management and checking in meant that we would only give this four stars rather than five stars.
• OnAir21545043643 (8/5): Great Hotel and will be back - Had read reviews before we went and have seen a couple since we came home, and I would like to say we had a FANTASTIC time. We have stayed in some pretty shocking AI hotels and from some of the other reviews either manage your expectations of pay for a higher class hotel. Could it do with a bit of maintenance here and there -Yes. But the food was lovely, staff friendly and so helpful and we as a family of 3 with our daughter had a great time. We would go back there without hesitation and there are not many hotels we have said that about over the years. It was our daughters first time to Turkey and she was nervous but she had an absolutely fantastic time which for us was the best part of the holiday.
• Safari63542430329 (10/5): Staff went above and beyond - Myself and friends had an amazing time. We found many of the staff were extremely friendly. Yagmur, Mehmut and the waitress that works at the third balcony next to the restaurant in particular were brilliant and constantly making sure we were taken care of. They often came and spoke to us which was nice and it felt like we really made friends with them. I have never been at a hotel/ resort and felt more at home and comfortable. All the staff work hard to get everyone involved in activies and entertainment. The food was great as well, I never had an issue finding something I liked. I also came with a picky eater and they were never left hungry. The rooms were always kept clean, any issues and they were resolved quickly. The hotel also has a dog called Cookie which they often walk around the resort so you can say hi and give him some tickles, they let people walk cookie as well sometimes. I will definitely be back, Orka is a great place to stay and it really feels like you're apart of a family
• 528asenab (10/5): EXCELLENT STAFF AND HOTEL ♡ - I had the most amazing time at orka world hotel. I visited with some friends and family for 10 days and EVERYTHING was amazing. From the moment we arrived, we felt so welcomed and as if we had joined a family. The food was great and there was lots choices for everyone. But what made the hotel was the staff. In particular Yagmur! She was the most amazing entertainer ever and she was pure inside out. From housekeepers, landscapers, waitresses, bar staff, holiday reps, cookie the hotel dog! and everyone else in-between, everybody went above and beyond for guests and that is what made the hotel fantastic. The staff need a raise!!😉😅 I will be back !♡ thank you Orka!
• E4564QOlisaw (10/5): Wonderful Staff at Orka World Hotel Dalaman - This holiday family trip was one of the best in a while, there are so many activities to do and much more. The staff is absolutely amazing and I very much appreciate them.This one girl in particular names yagmur is one of the most nicest people I have ever met she has taken care of us and always asks us if we want anything. The hotel is very lucky to have have her and all the rest of the staff. I also really do think that the Turkish people around Orka World Hotel and other places around here are extremely kind and will start a conversation with you which I think is very sweet. Loved it here and definitely recommend to come here again xx
• shahind957 (10/5): Amazing holiday - I had wonderful holiday. It is a fabulous hotel with very polite staff. Very good food (different food on different days) as well amazing entertainment every night, good shows with professional dancers salsa, turtish dance, magic shows, kids dance, Mexico n much more. Good with for price specially when drink are all inclusive. And amazing Waterpark which is only 5min drive from hotel. And must try package of jeep safari from "on the beach" tour available within hotel as well horse riding. If will make ur trip exciting and full of happening.. No even 5min u will feel bored. I will definitely go again Der. Don't go on the looks from outside it will definitely beat any 5star hotel.
• Getaway09374094722 (6/5): Nice resort but would not return, - Family holiday with 4 Adults and four children aged 8 to 15 as the reviews said it was great for children. On our arrival the staff were friendly and courteous and check in was smooth. We had a 2 bed upstairs villa. Good points…. The rooms could have done with a bit of TLC but the beds were clean and comfortable. Towels, shower gel, soap and toilet roll were provided as well as pool towels. The tea tray was well stocked and the fridge was stocked with bottled water daily. The cleaners often made towel sculptures with the addition on flowers which was a nice touch. Each room had a TV that showed some UK channels…. Nice balcony with a small clothes line so swim wear and towels could be dried. There was a large walk in rain shower, toilet and sink, again could do with some modernisation. Bad points… The front door had a dead lock that was broken so although the door locked we could not completely secure the apartment. The air conditioning unit was very noisy on the 1st night and did not keep the room cool. However we managed to take the top filter off that we thought was causing the issue and it then was very quiet and as cold as you wanted. The curtains in the room were too small for the windows so could not draw the balcony curtains fully. The safe did not have a key and this could not be located. The reception allowed us to use one located in the main building. However this is obviously not ideal when you need to go and collect cash when needed as they had to be in attendance when you opened the safe. The main issue was that the hot water was HOT…, there was no warning about how hot this would be and it could easily scald an adult let alone a child….. The website stated there are 6 different pools…. One is the size of a puddle attached to the pool by the bar, the pool it is attached too, the children had to congregate by the steps as it was far too deep. I am 5ft 4 and was only able to touch the bottom on tiptoes…. The only activity at this pool was water gymnastics for 15 minutes twice a day…. But due to the depth of the pool this was quite difficult and wasn’t much fun…. There was no music to do the exercises to that we have had in previous resorts…. The main pool was even deeper and no one was able to touch the bottom but this had a smaller pool above that was shallow…. Again far too small for more than a few children. This pool was far too deep for anyone to stand in, even if they were 8ft tall they would not reach the bottom. The bar and snack bar were ok but got very busy during the main lunchtime rush. Food choices were rather limited but suited the family well. The food in the main restaurant was of a good standard with breakfast options of cooked breakfast, continental style cheeses and meats, lots of pastries and breads. Ample fruits, yogurts and cereals. Lunch had different options to suits all diets… usual nuggets/chips/pizza for children but also a good selection of salads and adult foods with large selection of deserts. Dinner had different themes each night which allowed different flavours of the local cuisine. There were multiple fish choices… I would highly recommend the prawns… they were to die for. I am not a dessert person but the rest of the family tried most of the options….. hit and miss but they did say that a lot they were rather bland with the odd exception…. There was no daytime entertainment at all! There was a kids club but this was only up to the age of 12. As a family resort we thought there would be more to do but due to the depth of the pools this maybe the issue. There is a free shuttle to the water park… but this only runs twice a day…. The entrance fee is free but you cannot take any food or drink (not even water)…. And they do search your bags! As a family of 8 in 40 degree heat it ended up an expensive day… the park itself was really good fun and all the children (and adults) enjoyed the slides. The night entertainment was varied. BUT be warned the mini disco which occurred nightly became a bit draining as it was very repetitive…. The evening then went to more adult in its nature such as local dancers, live bands, bingo, karaoke… again this was let down on the Cheesy music night when the main Children’s entertainer got everyone… including the children, to sing Roy Chubby Browns *who the F**k is Alice* I dud explain how inappropriate this was but I am sure they fully understood. The grounds of the resort were beautifully maintained with lots of pretty trees, flowers and local plants and it was immaculately clean. All in all a nice time…. But I would not return as a family due to my above comments.
• 895chantelleb (10/5): Fantastic Value, Family-Friendly All-Inclusive Gem in Oludeniz - We had a wonderful stay at this 3-star all-inclusive hotel — it’s a hidden gem that offers fantastic value for money, especially for families with children. From the moment we arrived, the staff made us feel so welcome. The front desk team were especially helpful and always ready to assist with a smile. The hotel has a very relaxed and cheerful atmosphere — perfect for unwinding while the kids enjoy themselves. The food was great, with plenty of variety at every meal. One highlight for our family was the traditional Turkish pancakes — the kids couldn’t get enough of them! Rooms were clean and comfortable, and the whole place was well-maintained. The location is ideal — just an 8-minute drive to a stunning pebbled beach with crystal-clear blue water. It really does feel like a slice of paradise. The only thing to note is that the WiFi was quite poor throughout the hotel — but honestly, that ended up being a bonus for us. With less screen time, the kids spent more time enjoying the pools, the sunshine, and each other’s company. Overall, a very full, happy, and relaxing experience. We’d definitely recommend it for families looking for a warm, friendly, and affordable break in beautiful Oludeniz. We’ll be back!
• P4129EQcristiang (10/5): Good relaxing and enjoying holiday - Nice place, very friendly staff and amazing service. You will never be hungry, Not to mention the Good connection and location. With the water park and how close to the beach just 7 min drive. Or if looking for bars and nightlife.
• leecD8760XQ (10/5): Recommendable to all families - I really couldn’t speak highly enough about this hotel/resort. From the moment we arrived to now while waiting for our transfer to go home, we could be made to feel more welcome and catered for. Excellent is the work to some up the welcome/reception staff, the entertainment staff, the waiting/bar staff and the cleaning staff (inside and outside the rooms) The food has been sublime and varied from day to day. Quality and value for money are also right up there complimenting the efforts the staff and management teams put into it. Waterpark was great although a little pricey but the quality was also there so well justified in my opinion. Thank you Orka World and your people.
• 287markieb (4/5): Read the small print first BEFORE booking - Important to know The ORKA World Hotel is separate from the waterpark. A shuttle runs once a day to and from the park. I booked this hotel based on the photos of an aqua park and a hotel for two teenage children and thinking the hotel and aqua park were together. They are not. It's false advertising. HOTEL *We arrived about 2am. Hotel kindly provided a roll and apple.nice gesture but we were too tired to eat. *Rooms are all dated but clean and the air-con is noisy. We stayed in a three bedroom superior apartment. It was basic. Not superior. Door and air con were broke on arrival but fixed within 48 hours. *Food is okay — not bad, but definitely not as varied as you'd expect from a 4-star. I don't rate this hotel 4-star. Stayed in much better. *Wifi is very poor. Constantly being asked to log beck into system via passport number. *Ice cream chaos: Expect queues. It's only an hour slot. Delightful lady served us and always with a smile. -Be prepared to get up early for sunbeds. Not enough of them. They do police them so that towels on unoccupied beds by 11am will be removed. - children entertainer was lively but screamed too much on microphone unnecessarily. Often ruined the atmosphere. - Gardens are well kept. - Staff are helpful when approached. - Pools are clean but there were broken tiles on steps into pool. There are a lack of handles to help walk in and get out of pool. Swim ladders were creaky too and felt unsturdy. WATERPARK * Good experience overall-- BUT —WARNING— the all-inclusive package at hotel does not apply inside the waterpark. Food, drinks, water and locker are all chargeable. * WARNING - You must pay via a wrist band. If you pay Turkish lira they'll refund money not spent. You don't get a refund if pay via bank card so take plenty of turkish lira. BLACK PEARL BOAT TRIP * Great experience which included foam party and lunch but again WARNING: the lunch was basic. No menus are provided. You're offered drinks and chips with lunch but not told how much. I asked the cost of drinks and was told not to worry and pay later. We were not told chips were an additional cost. The chips and 4 drinks were £38 roughly. I got the bill at the end of the trip. Finally, after disembarking the ship at the end of the day, our transport did not arrive to collect. We were ushered onto a small van which turned out to be a mini public bus. We had no idea until under way and saw people paying cash when boarding. Had no idea what to pay so suffered indignity of being accused of fare evasion. I waved the money but did not know the cost. TURKISH BATH AND MASSAGE at hotel was an enjoyable experience. Shout out to Robert: a very nice man. Also, shout out to Ishmail, the holiday rep at the hotel. He listened to our concerns and was apologetic and supportive. He done all he could to help. Overall this is a three star hotel the most. Basic but clean and trying their best but you'll find better. The advertising of the aqua park gives a false impression. Overall far too many hidden costs and more transparency needed to avoid feeling conned. I don't write reviews generally but felt these points were needed in hope to aid others to avoid my mistakes. Thank you for reading.
• Beccaharry (4/5): Disappointing Stay – Not Up to Usual Turkish Standards - Just returned from a one-week stay at Orka World Hotel, and unfortunately, it didn’t meet my expectations. I had read several reviews before going and hoped for a great experience, but overall, it was disappointing. I travelled with my three-year-old and stayed in one of the villas. Negatives: The hotel is in desperate need of a deep clean. The baby pool in the mornings was grimy and had floating debris, including false eyelashes and an old plaster—completely unacceptable. Room cleanliness was poor. On the one day our sheets were changed, they took my son's bedding and didn’t replace it. I had to ask reception three times before it was resolved. Food & Service: Breakfast was very repetitive. If you're not a fan of pancakes or eggs, you’re better off eating out. That said, the fruit was always fresh and tasty. Evening meals were decent, but there's no drink service—you have to queue up yourself. With a toddler, this was particularly difficult. I’ve never encountered such a lack of service in Turkey before. The entertainment setup is also intrusive. It's located right outside the restaurant, with loud music and shouting from the entertainment team during dinner. It made it hard to enjoy a peaceful meal. We ended up eating indoors just to get away from the noise. Overall, service was minimal—everything is self-serve, and staff engagement was lacking. Wi-Fi: Virtually unusable. Don’t expect to get a reliable connection anywhere in the hotel. Sleep Quality: The beds were actually quite comfortable, despite the general state of the room. However, the noise from evening entertainment made it hard to get a good night’s sleep. Waterpark: Not suitable for toddlers. Older kids seemed to enjoy it, but be warned—it’s expensive, and they do bag searches at the entrance, confiscating any drinks you bring. Positives: Due to the poor condition of the main pool, I opted to use the annex pool instead. The staff at the pool bar were excellent—special mention to the lovely ice cream lady, who was kind and attentive to my son. In summary: I’ve visited Turkey four times on a similar budget, and this was by far the lowest standard hotel I’ve stayed at. Sadly, I won’t be returning.
• Meander53105209489 (10/5): Perfect - Perfect hotel. So happy with everything. Food was great. Staff were amazing. Room was specious and clean. Had a best holiday ever. Thank you
• joelhI9841LD (4/5): - Just arrived home from orca world after reading some good reviews I was sadly disappointed in this hotel , you can get a lot better for you money , 9 out of 10 of the staff a rude and couldn’t care less about your experience, love to just stand on their phones and it seemed liked a big effort for them to to their jobs, The room was average, floors were filthy in the room and were basic , the air conditioning was great but, over all abit run down 7/10 The hotel ground itself could do with some TLC all the pool steps falling to bits was dangerous hand rails falling off , smashed glass in the lift extremely bad for pram or wheel chair users 4/10 Although the evening food was good the buffet room was like being herded like cattle you don’t get seated or served drinks is just a free for all! And hot breakfast was the choice of eggs eggs eggs or eggs tea time 5/10 breakfast 1/10 The entertainment had one good night of the 6 but was continuously ruined by the entertainment girl screaming down the microphone and playing the music that loud you couldn’t hear the person next to you shout! 1/10 was shocking Overall I would not return to orca world and would advise people to avoid it or if you have it booked to consider changing it
• Q6163MDalexn (6/5): Holiday experience - Family of 5 kids age 10,9,4 This hotel is very big, beautiful & clean POSITIVES (ALL INCLUSIVE) - CLEAN - QUICK CHECK IN - CLEAR INFO ABOUT ACCESS TO AQUAPARK - FRIDGE STOCKED WITH WATER - KETTLE/HAIR DRYER - VERY SPACIOUS ROOMS - BIG VARIETY BUFFET IN MAIN RESTAURANT - SNACK BAR FROM 11 TILL 4PM (Ice cream only from 4 till5pm) NEGATIVES - WIFI - if you are expecting to connected all the time you are NOT! ALWAYS DISCONNECTS, YOU HAVE TO SIGN IN USING - PASSPORT NUMBER/YEAR OF BIRTH - ENTERTAINMENT- DONT WORK MONDAY. There's a daily activity board with what goes on through the day by time. Out of 2 days out of 7 we were there they had pool entertainment. There's music but that's it. Only making people aware as we have been to a lot of hotels which only have a 3 star and entertainment starts from early morning till the pool shut. (Not such a negative)- They do entertainment on the stage at night from tues to sun. Other than that it is what u make of a holiday. There's plenty of excursions you could do. We did the ANIMAL WED AND WILD & BLACK PEARL BOAT TRIP. Certainly a lot of night life not far from the hotel.
• Fearless02223991059 (6/5): Hidden Costs and Separate Locations ORKA World Could have been Great - ALWAYS READ THE SMALL PRINT. I made the mistake of assuming the hotel and waterpark were part of the same complex. They’re not. Important to know The ORKA World Hotel is completely separate from the waterpark. A shuttle runs once a day to and from the park — it's a 5-minute drive, too far to walk in the heat. That means you're stuck following their schedule, not your own. Some might be fine with that. I wasn’t. HOTEL – Pros & Cons + Rooms are modern, clean, and the air-con is excellent. +/- Food is okay — not bad, but definitely not as varied as you'd expect from a 4-star. - Ice cream chaos: They bring it out twice a day, a huge queue forms, and it runs out in 10 minutes. In 35°C heat, no ice cream? That’s just poor planning. WATERPARK – Pros & Cons + Really good experience overall: clean, well-run, decent rides for both younger and older kids. Not too crowded either. ---- BUT — and it’s a big one — the all-inclusive package you pay for at the hotel does not apply inside the waterpark. You’ll pay for food, drinks, even water, and £5 for a locker. Honestly feels like a con. Wish I’d read the fine print more closely. Overall Nice hotel, great park. But the disconnect between them and the hidden extras took the shine off what could’ve been a seamless holiday. Be aware, plan ahead, and don’t assume anything’s included just because it should be. The kids loved it. So all good
• ginafX1915IL (4/5): Wheel chair - The hotel is not suitable for wheel chair users. There were too many slopes and my husband who is seventy could only push me so far. The pool by the restaurant was dirty had a green grime mark all around the pool.it also hard too get in and out the steps were far too high, and a few adults slipped going in I was scared to get in and out. On the plus side food was very Good and staff were helpful some must have been new and needed extra training. Entertainment was good. but Monday was so BORING, etc etc no entertainment at all, they could have had a karaoke night or just played music
• stephengB3580GU (8/5): Honest review - Don't believe the bad reviews foods hot and good we are a family of 4 and have a very fussy eater but he was ok never went hungry you are in a foreign country so expect something different Grounds spotless pools great entertainment ok does finish a bit early but ok Now the honest truth and it's sad because we loved the hotel the location everything everyone there works very hard very friendly lovely people But we won't be returning The drinks are very very watered down you can't taste the spirits and the beers very gassy We were not after a holiday of crawling back to the room but you are on holiday and you are paying good money so if you fancy a drink you should be able to have one I know its not the managers fault he's told what to stock it's a chain hotel We never complained its not the staff's fault we are not like that You end up just full up on gassy beer or loads of coke/lemonade or going down the road for a pint This is our honest review and reason for not returning which really is a shame Hope it helps someone
