When considering reviews of this hotel, I recommend taking them with a grain of salt, as my mother and I did, and we're glad we did. Although the hotel is ranked as 5*, I would personally rate it closer to a 4* when comparing to similar-rated resorts in Turkey. Many of the amenities one may expect in a 5* hotel were added extras, such as payment to use the safe and paid drinks in the a la carte restaurant. However, they were still reasonable! We booked a split level junior suite with a sea view. The room was simple yet well decorated and always clean, with a great view across Vlycha Beach. We stayed in the 4000 wing, near to the kids club and area for private parties. Whilst the noise from both of these was minimal, I would request to placed in a quieter part of the hotel next time, as one night a pre-wedding party went on quite late. One problem with the room is the lack of body care products provided. No hand soap and only small samples for body wash / shampoo / conditioner were provided throughout our stay. Whilst it appeared that there was holders in place for larger bottles, these were empty. It appears that this was potentially overlooked when preparing for our arrival, but was not a large problem as we had brought our own toiletries. Despite these minor drawbacks, this hotel ranks among my favorites. It boasts numerous outstanding qualities that deserve more recognition. The standout feature of this hotel is undoubtedly its staff, who are some of the most exceptional I have encountered. Not only are they friendly and welcoming, but they go above and beyond to ensure a memorable experience. The buffet food is consistently varied and well-prepared, with the grill, pizza, and pasta stations being personal favorites. Pizza and pasta varieties were made differently each day by the skilled Italian chefs on the station. The staff were always very welcoming and prompt with taking any drink orders. I have to particularly mention Mark and Eniko the servers, who always had a smile on their face and were extremely prompt with coming to both take and fulfill any orders. The pool bar serves delightful snacks throughout the day, with the gyros being a particular highlight for a light lunch or afternoon treat. The drinks by the pool bar are fantastic. The service is fast and efficient, and service is always with a smile and some great conversation. The staff will happily make something you like if they have the correct ingredients for them. Be careful of the cocktails - they definitely aren't afraid of making the drinks strong! I have got to give mentions to Ilias, Alexandra, Tsampikos, Serigo and Stavros for keeping me and my mother entertained all week with good banter and tasty drinks. The quality of food at the a la carte restaurants is exceptional, with a tapas-style array of starters and a wide selection of main courses. The presentation rivals that of fine dining establishments, overseen by the attentive hostess Christina, who accommod
