Gazipasa Star Hotel and Apart

abid mahmood

Decided to book this place for a last minute holiday. The hotel was very clean and accessible. The owner saeeda was absolutely lovely very accommodating and helpful always. The pools were lovely and the slides were so much fun. The food was on point and they did some great shows and entertainment. You can pay by card and cash and have in house massage service available, which was lovely. Quiet surrounding area with loads of local restaurants and shops and supermarkets. Overall, a great experience will return if possible in the future.

There's a lot of context in this review on why it deserves the 5 stars. We arrived very late (2am) and were very tired. We knew we had to pay for aircondition/wifi/safe separate but didn't realise it was cash only. They told us we could pay the next day but luckily we'd withdrawn lira at the airport.Despite knowing about the air con it does sour the checking in process having to spend a chunk of money on arrival. I have a good idea why they do it this way but that's another story... Our room was clean but smelled like cigarette smoke, the fridge didn't work and the shower flooded the bathroom until I had unclogged the hair inside the drain filter.  We woke up  unhappy and this would have been a 1 star review if not for the helpful staff. We complained and were promptly offered another room: -This room didn't smell -The fridge was so good it turned our drinks into slushy-The shower was miles better. -The view from the 4th floor is fantastic with the flowers reaching to the top of the balcony. - The air con works and gets the room properly cold. It does rattle quite a bit but you can take the front panel off and DIY it a bit with bits of paper. Totally quiet afterwards! - great location with dolmus buses going into the old town but also directly to Nova Mall and also to Manavgat. - The pool was ALWAYS clean, even at the end of the day. Lots of discarded pool inflatables  you can use that are left by previous guests. We don't reserve Sun beds but we were always able to get one even if we arrived back at the hotel at 3pm. - all the staff are friendly! - the shop and bar have decent prices. Not as good as the many local supermarkets but definitely worth it for the convenience factor. - The hotel is not in one of the main tourist strips which made the area much nicer to walk around. We had plenty of opportunities to visit actual real Turkish shops. - The hotel transfer bus goes to a lovely clean sandy beach which has drinks service. - Lots of cats to cuddle! None jumped up on the tables. Very well behaved. - If I had a choice I would not eat breakfast here. Restaurants: I would recommend Via Restaurant for a great cheap eat. Sky Safran for decent meat and fantastic service and La Spezia Bistro for good food all round.

Lovely hotel, reception and staff very helpful. We had an apartment with a garden view not a pool view as we requested. The apartment is spacious, comfortable beds. The food I've tried has been excellent although some people complained about the buffet style continental breakfast. The a la carte menu is excellent. You can get a full English on request at the a la carte restaurant. Two evenings a week Tuesday and Friday they have open buffet. I would definitely recommend this hotel. it's so peaceful,

I stayed here for the first time in Turkey. Good: Nice location to walk everywhere and local shops nearby for cheap food and drinks. Breakfast is decent but did see some mouldy bread one time. Unsure what some of the options are as there are no signs. The female receptionist is helpful and the younger male who is usually doing the breakfast or around the pool area. Did not get much help from the older man and more of hello and bye ordeal. Cats around if you like them. This can be good to bad but I'm a cat person. Bad: Pay for WiFi in the room (£1 a day) even though it says we have free WiFi which seems to be only available in the reception area. Mosque nearby so it can be loud due to the prayer calls. I didn't mind this but some people may. Music is played from around 10am till 12am and for some reason they do not turn the music down later in the evening so when you're trying to sleep around 10pm you can still hear the music playing loudly. Would be better if it was turned off at 10pm or at least turned down as it doesn't need to be so loud. Understandable if it's a weekend or they have little events but this is everyday. Having to pay for Aircon £45 for the week. We thought this was included in our booking but it was not which it should be and same as WiFi. Stay here again? Probably not. Only because my brother said they found a different hotel which was £10 a day that Included WiFi and Aircon. So felt like we're over paying for our stay with the all inclusive we went for. I did not use the pool at all but my partner said it was nice. Book excursions and things yourself through searching google and do not book through Omar as he overcharges and seems to leave you on read. Only use shops that are priced with labels for food drinks gifts etc.

Took this hotel as a last minute deal at around a cost of £600 including flights for 6 nights. Location is decent, shops and amenities are plentiful and public transport available near by. Rooms and facilities are very good and clean. Service was good, the host Syeda was very helpful and accommodating, she was very kind and provided us with many useful tips.
