XO Cape Arnna Fethiye

Well wow! An impressive holiday experience at XO Cape Arnna. Travelling as a family of 6 consisting of 4 adults and two children, XO Cape Arnna ticked a lot of boxes. The Indulgence package through Jet 2 provided private transport to and from the resort. A bonus with two travel weary children, and lots of luggage in tow. Private transfer takes approximately 45 minutes from airport to resort and avoids multiple others checking in. Having previously travelled to this resort by bus transfer, a private transfer is in my view quicker, more comfortable and a worthwhile extra. Especially with travel weary children and extra luggage. Part of the smooth and speedy check in involves setting up the hotel app on mobile phones, through which all questions, requests and hotel information is provided. You are messaged daily with the entertainment agenda and encouraged to make contact with appointed reps during your stay who cover 24 hours. The app proved useful & helpful throughout our stay. This place is huge with all staff focused on creating an attentive and relaxed ambience that flows from the reception area into the central avenue. Here there are coffee and tea shops, with pastries and ice cream options galore. Interspersed by boutiques, jewllers, book/toy shops. There are two hair salons on site, a turkish barber and a hair & beauty salon. For anyone pushed to get a holiday haircut, medi or pedicure, dont worry. There is also a Doctors service on site with a pharmacy 2 minutes walk from the hotel where there are a few shops worth a look in. Of the hotel resturants there are a few that you do have to pay for. We chose the Turkish (Kafi) resturant one evening. The detail given to cuisine, presentation, service and setting were all outstanding. A memorable experience. For those choosing to eat in the inclusive resturants (yes, there are a few), you will not be disappointed. This hotel and holiday is a gastro treat that covers multiple cuisines and specific food preferences (vegan, vegetarian, gluten free). Again the service, presentation and settings are all wonderful. The hotel is so vast its worth exploring once settled in. As our stay neared its end we found short cuts and other areas of the hotel we wouldnt ordinarily have seen such as the swim up rooms. We didnt use the indoor pool, spa or gym as had children with us, but it looked to be a peaceful area and high spec gym that seemed to be popular. All bar and pool staff are uber attentive and on constant duty to offer help and keep everyone hydrated (alcohol and non alcohol, plus ice creams). Shout out here to Nescati & staff at the larger poolside bar, who seem to know when your thinking about having a drink & providing this as well as clearing empties away and keeping the area clean and pristine. There are lifeguards on all pools. Their attention to safety is high and their response is speedy to any incidents around and in the pool areas, as seen during our stay. A mention here to poolside rules. Beds can be reserved by placing an item/towel (provided) on the beds. However, if the bed is not seen to be used within 2 hours, the towels/items are supposed to be removed (this didnt happen & these beds went unused all day). There are AMPLE sunbeds. However for those with children who want the safety of literally overlooking your child in the pool, then the beds fronting the pools go quick. Im sorry to say its a 7am boogie, probably earlier during school holidays. We stayed in family rooms situated above the main avenue, with sea views. They were spotless, spacious and the room amenities were amazing. I will offer a brief summary of extras here: Shampoo, conditioner, moisturiser, toothbrush and shaving kits, loofahs, bamboo face cloths, robes and slippers. Iron & ironing board. Oh, and a set of weighing scales, whether for self or luggage 🫣 There is a coffee and tea making machine in all rooms with coffee pods and a range of tea bags. The mini bar is well stocked with water (still & sparkling, lager, soft drinks) and a drawer containing crisps, sweets, nibbles. All restocked daily as part of the all inclusive package. The rooms are in my view upper mid/high end comfort. It is a two year old hotel and everything looks new. Where some small snags were noted around the hotel due to wear these were quickly corrected with a seemingly 24 hour maintenance team. There is a cleaning team constantly operating all toilet facilities and main areas. All catering staff are equally hygiene focused and efficient and this is clearly high on the hotels agenda. The entertainment on offer for all ages is excellent. From the childrens perspective, the oldest who is 8 and a competent swimmer found a couple of the larger water slides scary and the exit pools deep. They were too big for the 6 year old to be allowed on, but who enjoyed the smaller water slides. The 8 year old wasnt as impressed with these. The trapeze facility is wow, and like all activities down to childs/adolescent/adults personal choice. The evening entertainment during our stay was varied and greatly enjoyed by adults and children alike. On the main stage Lumi World performance, acrobats and magician all received a strong thumbs up. I could go on but suffice to say our experience was overall a positive one. I struggle to find any negatives other than our holiday came to an end. I consider this hotel and holiday package, value for money.

Iv never been a person to return to the same resort twice, I like to travel around. Well….. I’m booking for next year!! The activities had something to suit everybody, the food was next level, not like your typical European all inclusive. Each and every day, both, yes both our mini fridges were stocked up with drinks and snacks. The mixologist would create their signature cocktails to order, and the chocolate strawberries and cakes are as good as they look in the pictures. As a family traveling leaving my children the children’s activities were always going to make or break the holiday. The security of the children was taken very seriously. The kids club would check each and every child regardless of how old they look to see if they were allowed to leave unaided (if you book them in over 4/5 yrs I think) it was like a nursery they had correct adult to child ratios, the staff actually engaged with the children. If they wanted to go do outside activities the staff would take them (for eg rocket making) some of the activities were unreal, out side specialist companies would come in. The pools were amazing and not cold even in May. The splash park, and splash fun house (we call it) were so much fun. My younger son was a little upset he couldn’t go on some of the big slides (age 7 and short), as life guards were quiet strict on height and age but actually I thought this was amazing as they clearly have the children’s safety in best interest at heart! But the slides on the fun house were actually fairly big and fun enough for under 11s anyway. I quite enjoyed them myself! The al la carts were easy to book through your concierge person who is allocated on check in. Also the Prosecco and chocolate strawberries on check in were very much a lovely welcome. Sitting on comfy sofas instead of having to stand at desks. We weee even lucky enough got be upgraded and I would really recommend upgrading with children to a family suit. The living space was worth it. One thing I really noticed was it was so clean! No rubbish or spilt drinks or dropped ice-cream etc, no stains on furniture, nothing broken. Honestly I just do a not recommend enough !!!

Amazing stay with outstanding service and activities! From the moment we arrived at XO Cape Arnna, we felt genuinely welcomed. One of the things we appreciated most was that every guest is assigned a personal assistant who is available to help with any questions or requests throughout the stay. We were also given a tour of the hotel upon arrival, which was a great introduction to the resort and made us feel comfortable and well looked after from day one. The hotel itself is beautiful, with a relaxing atmosphere, well-maintained grounds, comfortable rooms, and plenty of space to enjoy both peaceful moments and social activities. Everything is thoughtfully organized, and the attention to detail can be seen throughout the resort. One of the things that impressed us most was the level of service throughout the hotel. Every member of staff was friendly, attentive, and genuinely focused on making guests feel welcome. The overall atmosphere created by the team is warm and positive, which made our stay even more enjoyable. The hotel also offers a great variety of activities for guests. We especially enjoyed the morning SUP sessions, meditation classes, trapeze activities, and the many opportunities to stay active throughout the day. There is always something interesting happening without it ever feeling overwhelming. A special thank you to Oguz from the animation team for the amazing activities. The morning SUP sessions became one of the highlights of our stay, and the regular volleyball games twice a day created a fun and friendly atmosphere where guests could meet and spend time together. We would also like to thank the girls from the event team for the wonderful evenings, great company, and enjoyable conversations. Their energy and professionalism helped create memorable nights. The evening entertainment was excellent, with impressive shows, music, dancing, and a vibrant atmosphere every night. A special compliment to the Beach Bar team as well. The cocktails were delicious, and the bartenders were always happy to prepare drinks according to our preferences. Their creativity, friendliness, and attention to detail made every visit to the bar a pleasure. Overall, what truly makes XO Cape Arnna special is its people. The combination of outstanding service, engaging activities, excellent entertainment, and a welcoming atmosphere made this one of our favorite hotel experiences. We would be delighted to return and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxing and enjoyable holiday.

I would like to thank Ekaterina and the entire EVENT team for their excellent work. The evening shows and activities were fun, engaging, and very well organized. Ekaterina was always friendly, attentive, and created a wonderful atmosphere for guests. Thank you for the great memories and positive emotions that made our vacation even more enjoyable!

Some hotels are beautiful. XO Cape Arnna is something else entirely. Like a magic wand has been waved across the entire complex — flowers bloom along every walkway, winding paths snake into shallow pools, and canopies cast dappled sunlight across terraces. The design is not merely aesthetic, it’s immersive. Every corner of this resort feels considered, intentional, and quietly spectacular. The rooms are spacious and elegantly decorated, the common areas stylish, and the property offers multiple pools, access to beautiful beaches, and a great variety of restaurants. The drinks selection is exceptional — a strong range of local and European options with top-shelf spirits included as standard. From the moment we arrived, service was outstanding — check-in smooth and efficient, with staff helping to arrange à la carte reservations on arrival. The room was beautiful, spacious, and impeccably clean, with the minibar restocked daily. What elevates XO Cape Arnna beyond a conventional luxury resort is the atmosphere. Despite offering everything you’d expect from a property of this calibre, the grounds feel entirely manageable — intimate even — with a layout that somehow balances grandeur with ease. The seamless integration of a family resort and an adults-only Club area is genuinely clever, allowing guests to find their preferred rhythm without compromise. The spa is divine, every meal a masterpiece, and the suite nothing short of stunning. But it is the staff — warm, attentive, and genuinely caring — who transform a beautiful stay into an unforgettable one. Having stayed at many of Turkey’s finest properties, what XO Cape Arnna has achieved in its first season is astonishing. The decor, design, and overall execution are sophisticated in a way that feels effortless. Everything just fits. This isn’t a holiday. It’s a benchmark.
