We have just returned from a fantastic 10 night stay and wanted to share how much we enjoyed our experience. Although we arrived very late at night, check-in was quick and seamless. A porter was waiting to take us and our luggage to our room, which was a welcome touch after a long journey. We stayed in a duplex suite with two bedrooms and access to a huge swim-up pool shared between just 12 suites. It was absolutely fantastic and quickly became one of the highlights of the holiday for us and the children. The rooms were spacious, spotlessly clean, and very comfortable, with excellent housekeeping throughout our stay. The beds were incredibly comfortable and the minibar was kept well stocked. Thanks to the hotel's hillside location, the views from the room were simply spectacular. The hotel itself is set in a stunning location, with beautiful pools, a lovely beach, and immaculately maintained grounds. Everywhere was spotless, and there always seemed to be someone working hard to keep the resort looking its best. The views from the main restaurant are wonderful, and the terrace bar is the perfect place to sit with a drink and watch the sunset. The pool area is huge, with plenty of space for everyone. At one end, you'll find the water slides, which our children absolutely loved and spent hours enjoying. There's also a great splash park and playground nearby, making it an excellent choice for families with children of all ages. Despite the hotel being fully booked during our stay, it never felt crowded. There was always plenty of space around the resort, and we never had any difficulty finding sunbeds by either the pool or the beach. One thing we particularly appreciated was the relaxed atmosphere in the mornings. There was no need for an early rush to reserve sunbeds, and there were still plenty available even later in the morning. We also took the opportunity to explore the surrounding area during our stay. We enjoyed a day trip to Bodrum, which was well worth visiting, with Bodrum Castle being a particular highlight. The views and history were fascinating, and it gave us a great insight into the area. We also visited Turgutreis Market, which was a lively and enjoyable experience, with plenty of stalls to browse and souvenirs to pick up. We also took the ferry across to Kos. While the island itself was lovely, we probably wouldn't recommend this excursion for families with younger children. Although the ferry crossing only takes around 30 minutes, the passport control queues on both sides were extremely long and ended up taking far longer than the journey itself. Had we known this in advance, we may have chosen to spend the day elsewhere. The food was excellent, with a wide variety of choices throughout our stay. We visited both the Italian and Seafood à la carte restaurants and enjoyed them both. There were also plenty of dining options available during the day around the pool and beach areas. We'd especially like to mention two waiters in the main restaurant, Mehmet Emin and Önder, who were exceptional. Their friendliness, attentiveness, and genuine enthusiasm made every meal more enjoyable, and they are a real credit to the hotel. We also spent some time in the spa and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. The facilities are beautiful, and both the hammam and massage treatments were excellent, providing the perfect opportunity to relax and unwind. A special thank you also goes to Hamza, who took some wonderful family photographs during our stay. The pictures are beautiful and will be treasured for years to come as a reminder of such a happy holiday. Overall, we had a truly wonderful and relaxing stay and were genuinely sad to leave. From the stunning location and excellent facilities to the outstanding staff, every aspect of our holiday exceeded our expectations. We felt incredibly well looked after from start to finish. We would not hesitate to return and would highly recommend this hotel to families looking for a memorable, relaxing holiday in a beautiful setting.
