Adalya Art Side - Ultra All Inclusive

In all the hotels I've stayed in, ive never wrote a review on TripAdvisor. So here it goes. Arrived on Thursday, got put into room 3107, which is under a walk way between the hotel blocks, hardly slept,(due to kids running about etc) thurs/Fri night, so asked if I could change rooms, was not a problem, got moved into room 4510 WOW, it was like a penthouse suite, now I can start enjoying my holiday, Where do I start, all the staff are amazing, small language barrier thou, I am a yorkshire lad after all, alot of Germans here, my younger brother was stationed in Germany 10ys ago, so I've been to Germany, so that was a good conversation starter, A few of the staff stood out, there was Hamet at breakfast time on Saturday, realised I was English, had a quick chat, then I'm sure he was at the beach bar on Tuesday morning, remembered I was English, and spoke to me in his best English Fernat in the area closest to the outside cooking /yellow table cloth area, sat there Saturday night, and my glass of red was never empty, always came and topped it up without me asking. The other evenings I sat in the blue area All the cleaners did an amazing job, they was never stood still long enough to read there name tags The waitress Neslihan in the lobby bar and the waiter Ertain in the blue section at dinner time, it took me 3 days to read there name tags, they was never stood still long enough, there a credit to the hotel, very hard workers, also the waitress with the poorly knee, think she said she'd come off her motorbike, yet again, a very hard worker, did most of my drinking and sunbathing in the lobby bar outside, I was 2 floors closer to the sun 🤣, my room cleaner I think she's called, Zeynep Gagir, lovely lady, room always clean Finally all the chefs and kitchen staff, food was amazing, i don't like trying new food, because I don't like to waste it, I tried bits of most things, some got wasted, others went back for more, don't get me started about the cakes/puddings there a work of art, Would I stay here again. Too right I would, but maybe have a crash course in Turkish and German languages Having a lazy day by the pool today, fly back to the UK tomorrow, Thank you

Loved this holiday Actually looking to go back next year Didn't need to spend a penny lots going on food choice was brilliant 😀 could always eat something. Didn't need towels for pool or beach.

We visited this hotel in October. Myself, husband, adult son and mother. The transfer from the airport was straight forward about an hour and 15 minutes journey. On arrival we were greeted by a member of staff who kindly took our cases and led us to reception. We were given 2 wrist bands each 1 green (for adults) and 1 red which is for jet 2 travellers to enable them to have ultra inclusive with premium drinks. We were led to our rooms and cases brought for us. Everything was explained regarding whereabouts of restaurants and bars etc and also how to work the air con and safe. The rooms were large, clean and had balconies to sit out. Everything was provided in the bathrooms such as toothbrushes, toothpaste, soap, etc and the mini fridge was stocked with soft drinks, water and beer. We were also on day 1 provided with 2 bags of crisps. Rooms were cleaned daily. Our views were all of the amphitheater and the main road, the patio door did a good job of keeping the noise down. All this seemed to be a good start to our holiday. Unfortunately as we moved around the hotel we realised we were THE ONLY people there from the uk. This shouldn’t be a problem as we can get along with most people and enjoy the diversity of holidaymakers but we soon realised that the staff struggled to understand anything we were saying as they only spoke German as an alternative language to their own. Some staff didn’t even speak to you and were rude and surly. This was mainly at the beach bar/restaurant. I would like to say that this was not all the staff and many were so kind and helpful some saying they were trying to learn more English so they could communicate with the UK tourists. The staff in the main restaurant were great, very attentive and helpful and the bar staff and waiters in the lobby bar were amazing. Special mention to Cihan who made our holiday special with his pleasant manner, jokes and kindness, Thankyou Cihan. The beach is a short walk away around 8 mins depending on how agile you are. The food is good at the beach bar, burgers, mackerel, pasta, salads, ice creams etc you cannot go hungry. The music is in the background is German catered mostly, with occasional songs we recognised. The beach is lovely, sandy and clean and plenty of sun beds all under shaded canopies. Book al carte as soon as you can they get booked up quickly. Entertainment is each evening usual sort of thing. Acrobats, dancers, singers etc. there were a lot of children at the hotel and we saw the staff entertaining them but if the children were English they would have struggled to understand. The pool was good we enjoyed days around the pool . During our week we did see 2 other English speaking families arrive but if our week was anything to go by this hotel is predominantly for the German tourists. To sum up, we made our holiday ours, we spent time together as a family which in our busy lives was a nice change. The hotel was comfortable and clean with mostly pleasant staff who tried
