Just come back from a 7 day vacation at Manaspark and must say what a lovely place to stay. The food was fantastic but could do with a little more variety as it did seem the same most days but tasted delicious.
Rooms were a little tired and run down but had a nice rustic feel about them the beds were comfortable and rooms cleaned every day. My only complaint would be the pool area it was unsafe and my wife and I had to call reception to get someone to fix the decking as nails and sharp splinters were sticking out, not nice especially when we had to warn a family with young children to make sure not to let them walk around bare footed.
Apart from that all good Erol the entertainment manager was brilliant so helpful and lovely to chat to including the bar staff they all work so hard and long hours, well done guys.
Would I stay again…..yes providing the decking is replaced as the location is fantastic with lovely views and plenty of places to just sit and relax.
Thank you Manaspark.

Our family stayed in this hotel just for 2 nights in a family room. On the second night there was a party just above our family room with loud music, dances and songs. Our requests to reception to move this party from the place, where the kids slept, were ignored. I was told that the general manager of this hotel approved everything and no any complains were accepted.
It was very rude and total disrespect to the hotel customers with kids. I do not recommend this hotel for families with kids.

Sleeping
Beds are super hard and not overly comfortable. The walls are so thin, you can hear conversations, toilets flushing, doors slamming. Most nights there will be drunken couples/groups crashing around and waking you up.
I warn all guests at 6am every morning you will be startled and woken up by the call to prayer chants from the mosque, that intermittently lasts for 10-15 minutes which feels like an hour!This happens throughout the day, however in the dead of morning it is quite alarming. Being surrounded by mountains this echos and pierces the whole hotel video attached.
In all time visiting turkey, i have never experienced a hotel situated so close to a loud mosque.
you will not get that good night sleep and relaxing holiday lay in that you had hoped for and this is defiantly one of my top reasons to give this hotel a miss.
Pool areas
The 2 pools on offer are tired and dangerous, you can not walk around bare foot in fear of getting splinters or falling through the damaged decking, id say there at least 30 opportunities for this to happen. DO NOT go there with young kids.

Me and my mum 21/42 stayed at this hotel for 2 nights for a short weekend in Ölüdeniz/ Fethiye. The hotel itself is nice, it’s stated 4 star but due to the outdated rooms I definitely think it’s more like a 3 star. This is such a shame because every single staff member is so attentive and helpful. They bring your drinks to you, always ask if you need anything or want anything else.
Special mention to Melike! (The entertainment lady) she does yoga and many other activities. Very friendly and nice to talk to, she’s always there if you have any questions.
The food is also very yummy and there is a good selection. Especially the desserts 😋
If you are fussy and like luxury and fancy hotels I don’t recommend staying here but if you’re looking for a budget friendly escape for sunshine then I definitely recommend this hotel.
Thank you Manaspark Hotel and all the staff

Just had 2 weeks at Manaspark. 1st time visit to Turkey, couldn’t have chosen a better resort (Oludeniz Beach) and hotel was great in many ways. As always, maybe some things could make it better.
The great… Location (set in Mountains, on hill which gets a gentle breeze). Food (all you want, wide choice, and all was of great quality, Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner). Views (set on hill, looking down to town or up to hills and Paragliders!!). Activities (Cable Car, Beach, Boat Trip, Paragliding, Sea activities and Spa all close to hand). Staff (all helpful, friendly and in general couldn’t do enough to help). Pool service (don’t have to move as drinks keep coming). Sun loungers (plenty available and no need for early morning panics!!). On site trips were well organised and priced.
Special shout outs to Ezgi (our waitress round the Pool), Ebru (our wonderful waitress in restaurant “Cheers”), Ozkar (Restaurant Manager, “Lovely Jubbly”), “bloody”Erol (Entertainment Manager), Arif (Trips organiser) and of course Jimmy (Spa Manager “baby”). They all couldn’t do enough to help us enjoy our stay.
I would say though, 5 Star is generous. As with other comments, some maintenance is required with the wooden decking around the Pool (risk of injury as it is), and although the restaurant has full open windows, it could do with fans to aid circulation (especially when charcoals are put out!!). Some minor room repairs may help, but nothing that spoilt our trip, only not what might be expected for 5 star.
As a summary, if you want a great location, food and to be looked after, you won’t be disappointed with your choice.
Our 1st time to Turkey, we will be back, and it left us with a lifetime of great memories.
