Last Minute Holidays to Turkey

Magomed Sajdajev

Decided to take my family here for Holiday. I am completely amazed by the quality of the place, the food was amazing, clean and loads of fun activities to do. Staff deserve praise, they are very kind and helpful, especially Anna who helped me and my family with enquiries and gave us tips on what should we do. Can't wait to come back and hopefully see Anna again, her customer service is on another level! I would definitely recommend this hotel to anyone who is looking to have great time.

There is really only one word to describe this hotel: vast. The place is absolutely huge and anyone without a good sense of direction will get lost at least once there. That being sad the place is gorgeous and the service is amazing. The interior design does need a bit of a refurbishment, but that does not affect the experience of the place. It has a ridiculous amount of swim pools and bars with snacks spread throughout so one does not need to move much to get food or drink. Some bars did go out of glasses far too quickly, but it is understandable the logistic to keep all bars stacked with glasses might not be so easy to achieve. The food was varied and did cater for most needs. Only constructive criticism is the he lack of allergens information on the dishes which could easily be done. Totally recommend this hotel for a family holiday.

Just spent a week at this hotel, ignore any bad reviews, myself and my children had the best time! Rooms are so big, very clean and have everything you need. Entertainment team are great! So much to do here! Food is no different to most all inclusive resorts, there's plenty to choose from! Water park is great and live that they have a private beach. 5 star review from us!

What an incredible place for holiday makers! The whole experience was really amazing. Staff were very friendly and helpful, food was delicious, lots of fun areas for kids. Would definitely comes back here and would recommend 100% to anyone wish to have a fantastic holiday.

Mansur Sajdajev

Great,Customer service. We’ve met Anna, a really nice lady which has helped us along our journey ,with her exceptional skills and nice attitude. We will be definitely coming back! And special thanks to Anna for her help to find our way along the hotel.

Hotel was gorgeous. Very clean and the food was lovely. The only thing that let it down was there was little entertainment at night for adults. Its kid orientated until 10 and then 1 hour for adults. The majority of guests are Germans or not from the UK who are extremely rude. The dirty looks they give you are unbelievable! I ended up not even smiling or saying hello to anyone half way through as I expected nothing in return. Also some staff are lovely but some are as miserable as the other people staying, making you feel uncomfortable at times. This does not include the cleaners as they are lovely and work very hard. For these reasons we won't be coming back, which is a shame as the hotel is gorgeous and very very clean. Also the transfer on the way there was shocking! The information wasn't correct, no one wanted to help and it took an hour later than anticipated as the driver wasn't sure where he was going.

Hotel is good and the staff are very polite. However pool shuts at 6 and at 5:30 they are clearing up around you. You can’t get a coffee before 7am, although there are coffee machines opposite reception that are turned off. The games room for open until 9am and then you have to leave a deposit for broken table tennis bats and pool cues without tips. 2 maybe 3 stars at best.

Sofia Badalan

They really take care of their guests and they're quite flexible (within the reason). They have grill, fresh fruit,veggies and loads of sweets every day. There 's a show for kids and parents every evening and a few times a day dance at the pool. The beach just a walk away which was quite nice for us. They have a nice T-shirt painting club (extra cost) but have to work on their game room and gym as they aren't properly equipped - we prefer outdoors but when the high temperature hits at noon, it's nice to have some options :) Overall, we 'll definitely come back!

mark izzo

This has been going on for years regarding the food, it’s totally uneditable, it is below poor , my son had food poisoning confirmed of the doctor, they have children cooking the food in the kitchens, cats pigeons are welcomed in the kitchens along with the dining hall, fries are recoiled from previous night, food starts serving at 18.30 we made a point of being the first in to see if perhaps the food not served under heat lamps was due to our arrival cooling down a few minutes before, this was not the case on three consecutive occasions being the first in everything was Luke warm, they love the fact people are very gracious to them but the annoying thing is this is politeness on your behalf and you can’t help feeling your being treated like a mug We heard numerous guests complain about the food but they will not do nothing unless people take to google and expose this for what it is Also the alcohol in the all inclusive package is one brand and it’s non alcoholic

Rosa van Rhee

The facility looks like the pictures and is mostly clean. However, there were many things that saddened our vacation. The first thing you have to mention is the food, which really disappointed us. There were the same things every day. The only thing edible was rice and vegetables, everything else just didn't taste good and some of it had to be spit out. Several days we ordered food from Dominos etc. because we were just so dissatisfied. Just like the food, the bar also leaves a lot to be desired. The “cocktails” all consist of half vodka, some kind of juice and then a splash of red / bleu Curaçao for color and then have different names. Our bathroom also smelled from the drain if it wasn't used for a few hours. By the way, the “lateral see view” means a direct view of run-down buildings. In addition, the hotel is right next to a fast road, so you can hear car noises constantly. Overall, the hotel just makes a run-down impression and the other guests were also rather off-putting to us. If you just want to get out for little money and get a good deal, it's fine. Anyone expecting a more luxurious holiday will be disappointed.

Dear Hotel Management, I recently stayed at Hotel Crystal Sunset from October 26 to November 2, and I felt it was important to share my feedback regarding several aspects of my experience. Unfortunately, the overall stay did not meet the expectations set by the hotel's advertised 5-star rating. Firstly, while the exterior of the hotel is impressive, the interior requires significant attention. I encountered cleanliness issues throughout my stay, including dirty lifts, rubbish on the floors, and unclean plates left in corridors. The floor in my room was unclean, and I noticed it immediately upon walking barefoot. While I appreciated the daily exchange of towels and the comfortable bed, the bedding was subpar—a blanket resembling more of a towel than an actual comforter. The food quality was another major disappointment. The offerings were repetitive day after day, often served lukewarm, and I found the inclusion of fries for breakfast quite unusual. Unfortunately, this did not accommodate varying tastes, and I struggled to find satisfactory meal options during my stay. The pool area was another concern. The water temperature was uncomfortably cold, rendering it unusable for relaxation or enjoyment. Additionally, the preset air conditioning in the rooms at 22 degrees was not conducive to comfort, especially for a hotel of this supposed caliber. Service quality was lacking, as I observed several staff members preoccupied with their mobile phones instead of attending to guests’ needs. Despite staying for a week, I had drinks served to my table only twice, and when I visited the café, finding a staff member to assist was often a challenge. On one occasion, I encountered two staff members engaged with their phones in an alcove, which left me feeling neglected. Regarding entertainment, I found it to be underwhelming and rather short, typically lasting only about 30 minutes, which did not cater to the diverse interests of guests. I also felt that the hotel primarily catered to German and Russian guests, leaving little attention for English-speaking customers. Lastly, I had a disappointing experience at the hairdresser's, where I paid €82 for a cut and dry, only to be met with unfriendly service and poor communication from the staff. Overall, my stay at Hotel Crystal Sunset fell significantly short of the expectations I held, given its advertised rating. I left feeling disappointed not only with the hotel but also with my experience in Turkey as a whole. Unfortunately, based on this experience, I cannot recommend the hotel to others. I would like to provide some additional beach is quite far from the hotel, requiring a mini bus to get there. Upon arrival, I was disappointed to find that the beach area was not well-maintained; everything from the loungers to the dining area was dirty. Additionally, the food options were extremely limited, with only two dishes available. The restroom facilities were also lacking, as there was no toilet paper and they had a strong unpleasant odor. Overall, this made for a less than enjoyable experience." I hope my feedback will be taken into consideration for improvements in the future. Sincerely,

Mariana Dzherelenko

Nice and beautiful hotel. Good housekeeping service. Good location, around shops. VERYYYY BAD quality, not fresh and the worst taste of food I ever ate. Cleanliness of dishes you can see on a video🫣 My baby and me badly poisoned so half of our “holiday” we spent in a room trying to heal ourselves. My partners watch “disappeared” we reported to reception but nobody care. Most of Staff not friendly even I would say ignoring. Helpful - guest service. Pools are cold we couldn’t use any. I see so nice potential in that place, but so disappointed Unfortunately not recommend at all especially if u choosing 5 star hotel with such a service🤕😓🥴 For not small money ….

joey michiels

We've been here for the second time, last time was 2 years ago and the second time was last september this year. But we won't be come here another time. The pool is beautiful, and there is room for everyone, but you do have to get up at 7 am to reserve a place with your towel. The floor around the pool doesn't get cleaned enough in our opinion. The room is nice looking and space enough, but when you want to shower, you only get little bits of water out of it. I can understand that the staff won't get treated the way they should, but a smile here en there to the people who do treat them right would be better. But there was 1 bartender in particular that was amazing, Murat from the adult pool/ relax bar. He is a lovely guy who will make a small chat, bring you your (great tasting)drinks and deserves a raise😉 thanks Murat!

Zoe Counselling email

Very impressed. The Hotel management have been very helpful in sorting out an issue I had. They couldn't have done more for that wasn't their fault. Bed was too hard for our liking and so they got housekeeping to add another layer to mattress. Location great Staff great Hotel great The Guest relations manager specifically came and found me to sort my issue out so I'm very happy. I'd recommend this Hotel to families as the kids love the slides etc.

dominika betakova

Our stay was nothing short of amazing. The service and food were exceptional, exceeding all our expectations. The resort offers an incredible variety, with three stunning pools, seven diverse restaurants, and a fantastic water park that kept us entertained throughout our stay. The entertainment program was a highlight, with activities and shows running both day and night, ensuring there was never a dull moment. From the moment we arrived, we were warmly welcomed by Abdullah, who went above and beyond to assist us. Whether it was helping with our luggage, guiding us to local markets, or providing directions, his friendliness and helpful nature truly made our stay special. Fully satisfied and looking forward to returning!

Sara Szigethy

I had a fantastic vacation with my family. The hotel is amazing and the service is top-notch! This is the second time we are staying at the hotel, and we will definitely come back! I had my hair done here at the hotel salon. The hairdresser's name is Arda Kavraal, and he is extremely professional and skilled at his work! I love the result I got 😍

Mindaugas Šimkus

This hotel is completely unsuitable, with extremely poor service. The staff doesn’t listen to guests, and the waiters often forget orders. You have to spend a lot on tips just to get basic attention, which is very frustrating. We even had to pay an extra €250 just to get the room we had booked three months in advance. Overall, a very disappointing experience that I would not recommend.

Martin Knight

Big all inclusive resort with great pools, water parks, facilities and entertainment sadly let down by the food and drinks. Choice of wine was red or white, but the white was undrinkable. Food at the main restaurant was repeated night after night, very oily and overly salty or sweet. Trying to find healthy food at the snack bars or restaurants was a challenge. Tried the seafood Al La Carte one night, but the choice and quality was the same as the main restaurant. Avoid the shops in the basement, shampoo will cost you 20 euros and pool toys are equally over priced. Take small euro notes or some lira for tips. Staff were lovely, pools and nightly entertainment was great and the room was fine albeit with a very small balcony. Beach wasn't the best with gritty sand and deep drop off into the sea meaning it's not really suitable for small children. Very busy in the height of summer with all the sun loungers 'booked' very early in the day. The security tries to enforce their no sun bed reservation rules but people sit and wait with their belongings until security have done their rounds and then skip off for a couple of hours (I know, because that's what I did). Laundry prices posted below because I was looking for these before I arrived.

jasveen kapoor

Amazing service received throughout the entire hotel. Has amazing facilities with a beach in the hotel and multiple pools to serve everyone’s interests. Plenty of children’s activities to keep the little ones busy like cinemas and kids club and a mini disco. Rooms were cleaned everyday and a huge variety of fresh food was available in the buffets and outside near the pools. Loved this resort and visited twice. Thinking about going again

Leanne Blair

Amazing resort that has something for everyone to do. Best all-inclusive place I've been too. There is food and drink available 24hrs. It covers a large area, so if mobility is an issue, I would bring/hire a wheelchair. You can get one from the hotel for €50 returnable deposit. Corridors are a bit noisy at night with kids, etc, but they do get quiet about midnight.

Nina Jakh

Very nice hotel and good food. Nice shows and nice costumer service. Animation is very good. Thanks for everything Aslan my friend

Katy Nora

Wi fi is really bad , I would not say it’s a 5 star hotel , I’ll rather say 3 star

Chidchanok “Kim”

I come to stay here in February 2020 for 1 week. I bought a travel package from a tour company in Germany. I have many impressions about this place. Unlimited three-time buffet. Drinks, tea, coffee, snacks during the day. Lots of food and delicious taste. The staff are polite and friendly. Located in a convenient location to travel to other attractions.

Mimico Mimi

hotel is clean and staff friendly, the food is not very varied, but certainly sufficient. the last 2 days the food was very nice. The male waiters are too clinchy and harass you everywhere which is a minus, they are too familial and won't let you eat or give inappropriate comments. the hotel itself in general is clean, but the pools inadequate, as we all got intestinal infections after swimming in the pool. we are satisfied with this hotel in general but will not choose this again because some of the staff were very incompetent and rude. The pool hygiene is also a minus. As for the food, reception, and room cleaning this was sufficient, but not above expectation. With the necessary adjustments, this hotel can be raised to a higher level, however we would not opt to book this hotel in the near future. Kind regards,

safak kilic

We spent a week at Diamond Beach Hotel with my wife, and we were delighted with our stay. The hotel provided excellent meals and entertainment options. We thoroughly enjoyed our time there and would highly recommend it to others looking for a great getaway.

Double A

We had a 4 night stay at this hotel in Oct 2024. Everything went well from customer service, pools, entertainment and the remaining facilities available to us. The only aspect which lets the resort down slightly is the food. Plenty of options available but in my opinion it was low on quality. Positives were the spacious and modern rooms, spa and wellness centre has some great people there, beach wasn’t too far away, cleaners can be seen all the time, pools and entertainment were good too.

Aanchal Oswal

We had a stay for 4 days, the property had a nice vibe along with the room. The issue we faced was with the housekeeping the other day. I have a 10 months old baby. Except the bed ,, The entire room, its floor wasn’t cleaned at all. Used napkins weren’t picked up and after complaining at the reception , they said “the staff is like that only” showing no signs to help. The major issue was not having options for vegetarian food. People can’t survive only with 2 options for vegetarian food (especially after paying so much where food is inclusive). The staff isn’t that friendly here as compared to other hotels that I visited in Istanbul and cappadocia

Margaret Wood

Do NOT bother staying at this hotel. Toilet and shower stunk for the entire week-stay and when we told them, a cleaner came in and sprayed air freshener down the drains and left. Majority of the hotel speak very little English which was quite unbelievable considering they’re located in the middle of tourism and having advertised as being able to speak English. No communication of what the hotel had to offer, where pick up and drop off points were. Had to figure out everything ourselves. Reception were very blunt and rude, no help at all. Towels always had stains. Food was horrendous, half of it was just salad, no flavour, chicken wasn’t properly cooked. We left behind a valuable item which never left the room, checked all our luggage as soon as we realised, rang them and said nothing was there. Find that hard to believe. On the plus side, had good variety of drinks at the bar throughout the day. Pool had nice views. The rooms were nice and spacious, clean and the location had convenience, located near shops and beach. Overall, the service and food was a downside and would not recommend this hotel

Natasha Hamilton

I spent 5 days at this resort, and it was a great holiday. The rooms are absolutely beautiful. The decor is one of the nicest I've seen. It's a big hotel with friendly staff although not all staff speak English but for us it wasn't an issue. The food was a bit repetitive, and breakfast wasn't up to standard at all (who serves fries for breakfast) they have an outside cooking station but each night the chicken was pink so we avoided it. There isn't much in terms of table service, and it's quicker to go to the bar to grab a drink at meal times. It's hard to go hungry as they serve food multiple times within their summer concept. Pools are fabulous, and they have a good amount of sun loungers. Their private beach is phenomenal. This hotel has a great location for all the shops and steak house and taxis are at the bottom of the road. All in all, I would definitely stay again.

Pooya Masoudi

We had good stay overall. Bur our room could be cleaner. Location of the hotel was not bad also wasn’t so good. Good point was there is a shuttle to the their own beach every 30mins. Foods were ok, there were fresh orange juice available at the dinner. 👍 Best part of the hotel was the aqua park. We enjoy it a lot, but don't expect to spend a whole day there. Price were a little bit high.

Jill Campbell

Excellent holiday , Except didn’t like that cats got into dining room. Room 1380. Very clean and spacious staff all lovely would definitely come again. Wet and wild brilliant for my family of mixed ages 3- 64 Evening dining sometimes a bit chaotic due to number of guests but we managed most nights to all sit together

Elżbieta Witkowska

…👌rarely wants to share my opinion about the place of stay although I travel a lot. I admit that in this hotel I met with incredible empathy. many people of the staff and each literally I did not meet any person who was unpleasant or did not want to help me. I saw a smile on the face of these people and a sincere desire to help In every place. I did not drink cold tea already received hot, although I did not dare to ask. .. how did they know that? no one had a problem which is his duty. Maybe only too much eating delicious food from which it was hard for me not to try.! delicious Baklava of which I had to try all types 😇 Wonderful time Beautiful peaceful place right by the sea. if I return to Turkey, only there 👍🫂

Spikey Mikey

A lovely hotel with great staff. Nice rooms, large well decorated and quality entertainment in the evenings. The water park is great for children. The negatives would be the food, well presented and well cooked but if your English then you may find it limited. The other negative is the lifts which are a nightmare, take ages to come and are small. Over all a nice place to holiday. And I would return.

Shani Rulez

Entertainment team work so hard to keep all guests entertained especially in the heat. The shows they have on are excellent especially the 9.30pm shows. The Michael Jackson tribute was the best. Well done to all staff. All though there have been some issues- however nothing major. Loved our stay. Wet and wild excellent- easy access- with transport provided every few minutes- plus easy to walk there. Shops around the resort- the beach and its pier are breathtaking.

Karismatic Minds

Magnolia from guest services is amazing she made us feel extremely welcome, sent birthday cake & champagne to my room. She was super helpful in helping us plan things to do outside of the hotel to get the maximum out of our holiday. Would recommend for families plenty of activities for the children and hotel entertainment. Naturally with any all inclusive you may get bored of the food but the terrace always had something different. Overall and enjoyable and relaxing stay.

Luke Carson

Great hotel. Lot of pools and slides. There kids club is massive keep them busy all day open till 12pm. There is lots of food and drink all good too. Will be back soon

Hitesh Patel

Had a lovely stay at the Titanic Deluxe Lara. The rooms was decent enough but a little dated compared to the website pictures. All the staff are amazing and friendly. There is lots to eat and drink and always a pool near by to jump in with it being so hot. Would definitely recommend the hotel.

David

Great hotel, rooms are a bit small and nit great cupboard space for clothes but apart from that had a lovely holiday here

Tamer Aktas

Close to the airport and a very nice hotel for families specially with kids. Children activities offered keep them busy and entertained through out the stay. The main building is now showing its age and no doubt will be updated to give that extra 5 star plus experience. Very happy with staff and hotel will always consider coming back without hesitation.

Paraag Patel

Service appaling. It is one of the worst hotels I have stayed at. The management is non-existent. I do not recommend this hotel to anyone. It's overly priced for what you will get. Stay away.

Ekaterina Paramonova

The location is fantastic. The views from the balcony of our bungalow were amazing. The rooms are a bit outdated. Cleaning of the rooms is not perfect, one can find some dust here and there with a bit of effort. On the other hand, there is a lot more fun stuff to do then check for dust. The food was good with sufficient choices. Entertainment was well arranged.

Pascal Terjan (CMoi)

We had a great stay, very relaxing. The views are wonderful, it is in a quiet area just outside town with a nice walking path along the sea to the center. Food was varied enough and we always found something to enjoy (special mention to the lahmacun one evening). Staff was helpful and friendly. The room we got on the top floor of the main building (which was presented as an upgrade from the bungalow we had booked) was large but very dark and had very few power sockets available, one being just on top of the pillow in the middle of the bed, others requiring to unplug a lamp (even the kettle shared one with a lamp).

Turgay S.

Great hotel, very nice food. Surrounded by beautiful nature. + clean sea/ surrounded by nature + clean spacious rooms , we had the family bungalows with sea view + food was delicious and diverse + service staff was always kind and very helpful + well maintained and luxurious hotel - smoking at children’s pool was not prevented - towels laid early mornings to reserve sun loungers, hard to find good place Overall highly recommended

Amanda Burdett

The first two rooms were substandard and unacceptable, we paid for standard bungalow with terrace. The first flat was dark, had no balcony and no view, the second flat had a view and q balcony but the shower flooded the bedroom and the lights flashed on and off and it smelt of sewerage within two days. The last room was supposed to be superior. It was OK but I wouldn't call it superior. The hotel is tired and in desperate need of an update. The food was the same everyday, cups and cutlery often dirty and we had power cuts every day nearly all day.

Anita Potts

Beautiful central position, great for walks, no beach/sand but nice Waterfront. Can hop on a water taxi at the cost of 200 lira (£5) each way. Entertainment could be better but if you're staying and able try to secure a high room to be able to see the beautiful vista view

Abi Lee

For the price we paid we were pleasantly surprised with Sunshine Holiday Resort Hotel after seeing previous reviews. It is definitely a 'you get what you pay for' place and we were happy enough. All staff were extremely friendly and showed great service throughout our stay, going above and beyond. The food was just standard all inclusive food really. We always found something we could eat. They did a nice all inclusive cocktail.. just ask for the special cocktail! They did put rather a big amount of vodka in so do be careful 😉. Rooms and some areas could do with a bit of an update (ours had a leaky shower and the balcony doors didnt fully lock) but it wasn't anything too major, we were only there to sleep in the rooms and wash so it didn't matter to us much. The pool area was good. The location, although seeming far out was only around £4 to Hisarono and the hotel had daily shuttle buses at 11am til 4pm to go to the beach, with several little beaches just a short walk along. Overall we really enjoyed our stay at Sunshine Holiday Resort.

Nick

Wonderful hotel, great staff and a beautiful location. Stayed here for a week with family. Can't fault it. The food is excellent and there's always a good amount of choice. But as they cater for many nationalities, especially Turkish, don't expect a full English and shepherd's pie. The spicy breakfast scramble they served was a revelation! The staff were all terrific! Friendly, helpful and fun. I will add that we're a very polite family and thanked them each time they cleared a plate and joked about with them too. The location is away from the hustle and bustle and set at the foot of the mountains. The view from the pool is incredible. However it's only a 10-15 minute walk to the main street where buses run every 10 minutes. Last but definitely not least Sara the receptionist. She was so incredibly helpful and her English is excellent. Anytime there was an issue Sara made sure it was quickly resolved and always followed up. One night our 6 month old daughter soiled the blanket and I had to ask for a replacement. 10 minutes later Sara phoned the room to see if we had it yet. We didn't and she promised to get it sorted asap. A few minutes later the blanket arrived and 5 minutes after that Sara phoned again to make sure it was done and to see if we needed anything else. Absolutely wonderful service, I wasn't that well looked after in Vegas. I have read some of the negative reviews, I would say if you aren't the type to let a few small things ruin your entire holiday then you'll love it here. And if you are the type where one bad thing ruins everything for you then you probably won't be happy anywhere.

Unforgettable Stay with Stunning Views and Exceptional Hospitality at Sunshine Holiday Resort We had an exceptional stay at Sunshine Holiday Resort. Everything was wonderful, and the staff were incredibly attentive and always ready to assist. The housekeeping team was very kind and worked diligently. The room was spotless, and the pillows seemed brand new. We enjoyed the best 7 nights, and even after checking out, we were allowed to stay for an additional 8 hours until our flight, with full access to food and drinks as usual. The food in the restaurant was delicious and varied, thanks to the excellent work of the restaurant staff and chefs. The hotel offers uniquely beautiful views, with stunning mountains and incredible sunsets that made our stay even more memorable. Special thanks to the restaurant manager Muhammad (Mehmet). Additional gratitude to Ozzy, who was always around to help whenever needed. And thanks to Serjey for his kind attitude and care towards the guests. Your exceptional hospitality made our stay unforgettable. We will always remember you and hope to see you again next year!

Just got home after a week’s, all inclusive stay at sunshine holiday resort (which is rated a 4 star hotel). We booked through ‘On The Beach’ & flew with ‘Sunshine Express’. Not going to lie but after I’d booked I was really nervous as I came across some worrying reviews (we’ve always holidayed at least 4, if not 5 star). Anyway here’s my honest review, along with a few tips: -Yes the room was on the small side & pretty basic (we had a standard room). The room could do with a bit of an update but it was kept clean, so we were happy. Bed sheets could have been bigger & the pop up bed wasn’t ideal for a 5ft 8”, 13yr old boy, but he never complained. -Reception area, pool side, restaurant & the grounds were all kept clean & tidy & were in good condition from what we saw. My only criticism would be the fact the slide wasn’t open much. -The staff we dealt with were all A*, so no complaints there. They literally can’t do enough for you & are always happy to help! We had no issues with communication. Weysi, who worked in the restaurant was absolutely amazing. He’s always so happy & working hard to make sure guests are too. The man in the shop was really helpful as well. If he didn’t have what we wanted, then he made sure to get it in for us asap! -We were pleasantly surprised by the food, it all tasted good & we had no issues, other than maybe breakfast could of had a bit more variety on offer (there were a lot of eggs). Enjoyed the drinks & cocktails on offer. -Highly recommend Murat who runs the spa. We had an amazing experience & his staff are brilliant too (you can tell they have a lot of experience). Even if you get the ‘Basic Monty’, it’s excellent value for money & helps prepare your skin for the sun. -The entertainment was good, although the timings of things were a bit off (often things started much later than advertised). I feel like the entertainment could start a bit earlier in the evening & the stone seating area isn’t ideal & can get uncomfortable. It would be much better if they provided table and chairs but instead we used the sun lounger covers as cushions, so wasn’t too bad. The area itself isn’t that big & can get packed, so get there early if you want to actually see what’s going on! The fire show & acrobatics is what we enjoyed the most. -Get up early if you want to guarantee sun loungers & parasols! Some days were a struggle but other days not so much (but better to be safe than sorry). Probably not so bad out of season & we did always manage to get some in the end. -We booked all our excursions through Ismail who was our rep (everything we booked wasn’t too far from the hotel). Ismail is a great, honest & down to earth guy, who doesn’t rip you off. He goes above & beyond to help you & even sorted us out a dongle for a reasonable price (WiFi at the hotel isn’t great). We had a fantastic time on the jeep safari (highly recommend-although there’s a few extras not included in the price, so bring money), water park was also great & we enjoyed a trip to the beach & the market (bring plenty of spending money for that 🤣🙈). -We were a bit annoyed that ‘On The Beach’ advertised the hotel as having a gym but on arrival we were told it wasn’t open this season. Overall we had a fantastic time & would say the holiday was good value for money. We may have been lucky with our room, as I did speak to another couple who had problems with their air-con. However, after raising this with staff, they were promptly moved (they are very accommodating when you are polite). We would definitely like to return one day and would also like to say a big thank you to ‘Sunshine Holiday Resort’ for helping us create some unforgettable memories.

Prince Okendo

This was a horrendous hotel experience and it turned me off. Firstly, my family and I paid for a private coach to bring us to the hotel. After two hours from Dalam airport to the hotel, we entered the reception expecting to be greeted with a respectable and high quality establishment but we're greeted with a hotel reception that looks like it hasn't been updated for years; like it's from the 60's. Secondly, the food was not worth it. Every single day, it was the same food in the same place and there was nothing unique. It was so monotonous that I can tell U exactly what I ate for every meal of the day. Every day was Schnitzel, chips and some plain pasta. It was monotonous and extremely boring. Thirdly, the rooms were an absolute disgrace. The beds were filthy and the base was covered in some sort of brown marks (from what, I don't know). The room (I was in 6410) was an absolute filthy palace, like it was from a Brazilian prison. The showerhead was broken and was spraying the random directions, the drains in the shower stunk like a very horrid concoction; so difficult to describe but it stank and it wasn't natural, the room constantly had bugs and little critters. Furthermore, the stairs were stained and looked like they were never ONCE cleaned in a hundred years. There are so many things abt the rooms including the way the top of the room was angled at a slant so that everytime me or my family woke up, we would hit our heads. Fourthly, the lack of activities made the place so boring in comparison to other hotels I've stayed in. The activities were the same, use the pool... And that was it. Yeah there was a bar, but the drinks there were mid at best (if we ignore the fact it was mainly coke and horrible tasting coffee there). Fivethly, the hotel was far too distant from the local markets and store so I couldn't even exit the place and have fun looking around. Oh and the AC'S here weren't working AT ALL. In conclusion, this hotel is horrible and is only good for people who love cheap and crappy. These idiots also demanded we PAY £2 FOR THE SAFE A DAY. FOR THE LITERAL SAFE. WE DIDN'T PAY

For a winter break it was good. If you hard of walking it can be difficult getting around lot of steps and inclines within the complex. Hotel in a good location for walking into the town along the beach. Staff always trying to help. Our room was good well laid out and well cleaned. Claims to be a 5 star but I would class it 3.5 to 4 star Very enjoyable break

Not a 5 star hotel, but a very good all-inclusive option at a very reasonable price. The staff are very helpful, and very pleasant (if you're pleasant to them....they are only human). The location is superb, hilly with fantastic views.....if you can't manage steps, don't come here (do your research).

I was delighted with my stay at this hotel! The staff were extremely attentive and helpful, always willing to assist with any request. The hotel's cuisine was simply delicious, with options for every taste. Additionally, the cleanliness of the rooms and common areas was of high quality, keeping everything impeccably clean and organized. I highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a unique and memorable experience. Congratulations to the entire team for the excellent work!

Dear fellow human beings, I'm just giving some quick information, definitely don't book this hotel, there's nothing other than the climate that I can classify as positive. My comment will surely be deleted, but since I am an agent for reviews, I will explain it in detail on all platforms, I will sue this hotel from Austria, the hotel is a 3 star hotel, not a 5 star hotel, they will too locals confirm. Please don't have a terrible vacation here, we are here with our 3 children and we regret every cent. We also had friends of ours who came here by car, they paid €1200 and we would have paid almost €4000 with a flight and a discount of €3500, they were there for 7 days, our friends for 8. We had the same room, very dirty just by the way, you get very coarse and hard bedspreads for bed covers. You can't reach the boss, no one is interested in children in the hotel, you won't have any loungers unless you pay the barmen €10-20 so that they reserve them for you every day, so that families don't end up with loungers who don't want to pay for them.They even tried to move us from the table while we were eating, so I got really angry and dropped my phone and broke my screen. It's an impertinence to want to move someone while the food is going to their mouth and I would like to mention that it wasn't a birthday table, nothing was decorated but someone just paid to sit where they wanted and we didn't. As I said, I don't have much time to detail everything right now, but I will do everything I can to ensure that no one ever gets scammed at this hotel again. You can delete my message, over 100 people work for me, you can't delete that many and we all have multiple profiles, people will know the truth, I promise you that we will see each other in court dear boss. 👋

Having a great time here. Nowhere's perfect and this place is far from, but for the price, compared with others, it's decent. The food is a little samey, but you can easily find something you like, and there are snacking opportunities throughout the day too. The beer is tasty and the wine doesn't taste like pee. That's always a relief on an all inclusive. You have to be careful with your towels. We saved our place beside the kid's pool and went to book an excursion for the next day, only for a couple with no kids to move our stuff and refuse to move. Not sure why our spot by a kids pool was so appealing to them. Perhaps a different lounger-saving policy would help avoid this. We're gonna try out one of the à la carte restaurants this evening.

This is my first time at this hotel in Akbük, Didim. The hotel is nice, and the food is great, but what really made my holiday special was the staff. I especially want to commend the lady at reception who helped me swap my room without any issues. I went to the beach every day, and the facilities at the beach are excellent. The pool bar and restaurant offer delicious food as well. What truly sets this hotel apart is the exceptional customer service. The staff are well-trained, particularly Adem, İbrahim, and Özcan from security. They were so friendly, professional, and genuinely cared about helping customers. Their warm smiles and welcoming attitude made a real difference. The shuttle driver also provided excellent service, with shuttles running every 20 minutes between the beach and the hotel. He was always welcoming and delivered exceptional customer service. Overall, the staff’s warmth and professionalism made this experience unforgettable for me. I would definitely recommend this hotel to everyone. The price is reasonable and suits all budgets.

I felt obliged to write a review. I think people with bad experiences take their time and people with good experiences don't bother to rate. I spent a week from October 9th to 16th with my partner and seeing these before reviews, I completely panicked. I was scared, afraid of where to sleep, what to eat and sad about my vacation.  I'll never believe the reviews again. I warn you in advance, according to European standards, it's not a 5-star hotel. But hotels are rated on the quantity of services provided, not their ""quality"". I paid a price of 600€ per person with flights+transfers+7 nights. (Di vakantie discounter website) And it was spectacular. Although the food was different and I was afraid of it, it was a cultural thing, I had lots of fresh food and plenty of variety. Fruit, desserts, stewed meat... delicious baklavas!!! The hotel welcomed us at 3am and gave us two sandwiches straight away.  They spoke very little English, but enough for us to understand each other. The room was spacious and there were no fancy sheets or fancy things like people expect. I had the basics and a comfortable bed. The sound starts around 9am/10am but my room was further away from the pool, so it didn't bother me at all if i wanted to sleep until late. Activities every night, the pool was spectacular, the spa too and the bus that takes you to the beach, also with another part of the hotel with food and pools, also spectacular. Always and active days, including a lot of families and children's. If you want to relax and enjoy, feel free. Are you expecting a quiet and peaceful hotel? Forget it. This hotel is full of activities and fun! I loved it and intend to return. For the nasty comments about the food, I've attached all the photos I took. I saw lots of staff working shifts of 12 hours. Let's be humble and understand that it's not always possible to exceed our expectations. Be human and respect them. Many of them were exhausted, but they were still there doing their best to make sure we had a good vacation. I'd like to mention that I had the opportunity to go to Kos (Greece) and Pamukkale thanks to the excursion company that was there. It was an incredible experience! I recommend it! Thank you Ramada Akbuk staff!!! See you next year!

I have been to many 5* star resorts over the past couple of years, and this is definitely not a 5* hotel. The room itself is quite lovely, although the hotel itself seems to not be maintained sufficiently which makes it look rather tired. The WiFi is pretty much non-existent at times and at certain parts of the hotel. The food is very repetitive and seems to be the same frozen foods day-in and day-out. I was even sick on one of the nights from it. Although, overall, we did have a nice stay but unfortunately we wouldn't revisit this resort.

Had a great time, but not a 5 star hotel even in Turkish standard 😄 really liked the town, meals were nice, there's extra sunbeds that you can take if there's not enough free ones. Every 2-3 days there's an interesting show after kids disco ✨

I have recently returned from a family vacation. There were 16 of us in total. All of which have varying opinions of the hotel/area but here are the opinions of my family and I. First off location. Although the view from the beach was idyllic, the views from the hotel to the beach were far from great. The area is a little run down but does look like there is some development happening. Akbuk itself is out in the sticks, practically in the mountains and you will need to travel to experience built up areas such as Didim/altinkum. There is a bus and taxi service that will take you to the nearest tourist location in Altinkum. We went into Altinkum twice using both taxi and the local bus service. A taxi to altinkum cost around £25 and took 40 mins to travel. However the second visit we used the bus service at a cost of around £1.25 each but increased travel time from anywhere between 20 - 30 mins. Next i must say that the locals in Akbuk were not welcoming. It is more of a residential area and there were next to no english speaking people (which isn't a problem). Next onto the hotel... The Ramada by Wyndham Akbük is definitely not a five star hotel as advertised, although that is reflected in the price that we payed to stay. Some of the workers honestly seemed like they did not want to be there as it was coming to the end of their season and so customer service was varied. The hotel has a private beach which is about a 5min drive from and the hotel does run a free shuttle to the private beach around every 15 mins. Our room and the hotel itself was a little dated, the drain tray in the shower was broken, as was the bannister that swayed quite a lot (we had a 3 year old in a room so was constantly having to be-careful with him and this. The food was ok but not the best. If you have allergies it would be difficult as you do not know what is in the food due to a lack of labels, it seemed the majority of desserts had nuts in. Entertainment - there isn’t much, 15 minute mini disco for kids and may have a show which is substandard. It seems hotel and staff aren’t really ‘in to it’. It’s a shame. The biggest problem about the hotel for me was with theft. My partner had personal belongings taken from our room on our 1st day but returned the day after (once complained to guest relations). On our second to last day someone let themselves into our room and locked it from the inside. I had to then go and get our hotel key cards changed. I was informed by other holidaymakers that some rooms had keycards left on top of the lights by the cleaners. Over the period of our stay I did come to speak to other people who had suffered similar experiences. Some of whom were unlucky enough to not have their items returned and were told that it was their issue as the items were not locked in their safe. Finally our transfers. Our transfer to the hotel went really well. We had a spacious coach with enough room for us and our belongings. On our transfer to the airport however, the hotel sent a small minibus which fit our family but did not fit all of our luggage or childrens prams. We were told by the driver that it was our fault as we had gained too much extra luggage. (we had the exact same amount of luggage that we came with) eventually after a few crossed words we managed to put our luggage onto a second minibus that had a smaller party. The driver & 2 security members at the front of hotel were extremely rude with this to myself. Overall I would say that although the kids had a great time, we would not be staying here again. I would say this is a 2 star maximum 3 star hotel.

“I had a fantastic stay at .The staff were incredibly friendly and went above and beyond to make my stay comfortable. The rooms were spotless, the bed was extremely comfortable, and the view from my room was breathtaking. I particularly appreciated the breakfast, pool, or gymThe hotel is also conveniently located

I stayed at this hotel and was extremely disappointed. The service was very poor from the start—they didn’t honor our reservation and gave us a temporary room for the first night. The mattress had a hole, making it very uncomfortable. The guest relations manager was particularly unhelpful; she didn’t listen to our complaints and instead responded with rude comments. To make matters worse, no one spoke English, and the food was terrible. This hotel definitely doesn’t deserve its 5-stars.

I sent this hotel this email as I like to give people a chance before I write a review but the second email back from them was quite rude …………….. Hello we arrived at your hotel on 17 August Sunday we went down to your spa. Nice man managed to book me and my son in at 11 o’clock for a Turkish bath and full body massage each. We really enjoyed that the staff were amazing the first time he’s ever had a massage, but at the end, we experience something that wasn’t so pleasant! Now I was thinking of doing a review on the internet but decided to message you instead….. at the end of a massage me and my son were led into the relaxation room where we were having tea. The gentleman that had massage me came over with another gentleman and asked me to follow them into a room. My son who is 12 was left outside in the room saying I would be back in 2 mins. While I was in the room, they both talked in Turkish and they were examining my tummy and my leg and was asking me questions about any pains that I had in my stomach. He pointed out that I had a pulse in a part of my tummy that shouldn’t be there so he massaged it and massaged it and continued talking in Turkish to each other, I was distressed about the whole situation because I thought they found something. Then they started talking to me about lymph glands, and things weren’t working like they should be. Now my sister had breast cancer and had to have her lymph glands removed so I was thinking the worst. 20 minutes later I was lead out of the room where my son was really worried. He picked up on my anxiety about what just happened and was upset. Once outside in reception, the same gentleman sat me down and tried to talk me into booking three more sessions to help with the limp glands that weren’t working when I said that I wasn’t prepared to pay any more money and also that I’d have to speak to my partner, he continue trying to force me into booking it once I left I turned around, and the gentleman was shaking his head at me, this ruined our whole experience and there was no way I was ever going to go back. I’ve booked in to see my doctor now because my stomach was quite uncomfortable after he finished his procedure! And the rest of my holiday! I was most upset! I really do think this shouldn’t of happened I’m not so sure he found anything or was just trying to force me into more treatments. I don’t know either way it really upset me!

Large complex with stunning vistas, large rooms and spacious lobby and dinning area which is all well maintained. Front of desk are very helpful with plenty todo in the complex to entertain young and old. The downside is that the young staff are very rude and 80% of the staff will ask you to speak into there phone while laughing at you ( happend everyday) Felt like I wasn't wanted. I'm not a Karen and never complain just make a note not to come back.

The resort is on a very large scale so do bear in mind that this part of Turkey is very hilly, so your calves will get a good workout for sure 😋 All inclusive means you get all the cheap local alcohol and drink sizes are small, so I was up and down to the bar every five minutes!! Service is hit and miss where some staff are really good, but some are just plain bloody rude and have no manners whatsoever. Food is like canteen food, although there is a lot of choice it doesn’t particularly vary and the choice is the same every day. There is a lot of cold buffet food and thank god there was a BBQ grill outside!! The entertainment was just awful if I’m honest and one night I wanted to hang myself!! I definitely will not be returning here and Turkey is off the holiday list for me now.
