The complex offered a wide array of all‑inclusive food, but the sun beds were too many and the low parasols kept bumping into heads, and there was no clear non‑smoking zone. At the pool bar, the staff seemed to favor the men, serving them first even when women were in line.

The animators for kids were thoughtful and caring, the bartenders worked hard, the pastry/coffee staff were friendly, and the reception team was helpful. However, most of the stay was marred by a lack of dining space: tables were always full, forcing us to wander for a seat, and sometimes we found a dirty table that we had to clean ourselves because waiters were scarce. We also noticed clear discrimination: waiters served Turkish guests while ignoring others, even taking a chair from our friends’ table and giving it to Turkish guests, and when we asked a waiter to clean a table three times he left to serve Turkish guests each time. This repeated pattern left a strong negative impression. Our room, advertised as having a pool view, actually faced a roof. We could have complained immediately, but after reading other reviews we realized others had the same issue. One guest demanded a refund or threatened to leave, but we didn’t want to disrupt the trip. Interestingly, our friends had a pool‑view room but complained about daily noise, so perhaps the roof view wasn’t terrible, though it wasn’t what we paid for. The corridor carpet near the rooms was extremely dirty, reminiscent of Fallout 3.

I had a great week‑long stay. The staff were very responsive and friendly. The food selection was excellent, with many options. The activities were decent, though I would have liked a few more and some Turkish music. Overall, no complaints; the chef was attentive to everyone, and I recommend it.

The best part of the hotel is the Tamarix restaurant with its buffet‑style all‑you‑can‑eat, clean, varied options every day, and the hammam is also very good. The housekeeping was a bit sloppy; we had to ask for towels or minibar drinks. The pool is nice with a pool bar, but the water didn’t look very clean and people left their glasses everywhere around the pool without anyone to pick them up.

The staff were friendly, the hotel was clean, the evening entertainment was good, and the buffet varied. The hotel needs a makeover. The only downside is the pool is small compared to the hotel; in the morning you have to go down and lay towels on the loungers. The room was only handed over at 15 h instead of the promised 14 h.
