Paloma Orenda

We stayed at this hotel in June 2024. We travelled as a family of 7 (4 adults and 3 children - aged 5 and 3 year old twins). The hotel is a fair distance from the airport and we took advantage of the TUI coach transfer - however, whilst the coach was fine, the journey was long, with numerous stops at various hotels. Inevitably we were the last stop so it took nearly 2 hours! With young children and late at night, next time a private transfer would be better. We arrived in the early hours and got checked in with no issues. The next day we woke and were very impressed. The hotel and the grounds are beautiful. Endless palm trees, grassy open areas and plenty of staff on hand to greet you and welcome you. We ate at all the restaurants including the steak house which I think is reasonably priced for the service and quality you receive. The buffet is good, not outstanding but you'll never go hungry. We really enjoyed having lunch at the beach side restaurant- again the staff are always welcoming and friendly. The animation team are great, they remember your names but they aren't pushy to get you involved. All the usual activities are on offer and there is always something for the kids. The kids club and park is great especially at night after dinner. The night entertainment is probably the best we have ever seen. The shows were unique and the kids loved them. The water park is a good place to spend a couple of hours. Try out the vertical slide at the top, that will wake you up if you've had a few drinks the night before!! We went into Side one day and explored the shops. The staff were not pushy at all. It was a nice experience as opposed to some previous experiences elsewhere in Turkey. We have now just re-booked for this year as we struggled to find fault with any of the elements of the hotel. It really is that good. I thoroughly recommend this hotel, the staff really do make the difference and the hotel has a completely relaxed feel, it never feels particularly busy, we always managed to get sunbed even as a larger group.

Hotel is very nice. Very clean. Staff is very nice and friendly. Amazing people working in the kid’s club. There are quite a few activities for children. Main restaurant has great food, a lot of choice. Food at the Quantine both snack time and a la carte could be improved. For instance rhere was one shrimp in pasta with shrimp.

We are currently at Paloma Orenda, the best part so far has been the Mini Club for our three young children. The staff are so welcoming and attentive. The facilities, the park and activities put on during the day cater for children of all ages. Very impressed! Thank you for looking after our children and making their holiday!
