We travelled to here as a first time destination for Türkiye for one week. It was extremely clean and tidy, welcoming staff and the entire place felt homely, cosy with an open atmosphere.
We decided to do some of the guest experience which was darts where we had a fantastic lady called Tamina who did the experience with us and was an absolute pleasure to be around, she was fun, heart-warming and a real exemplary standard of the quality of care and service you will receive here. We've had good trips to other places but I have always felt staff can really make it an experience that you wouldn't forget and all the staff had a wonderful personality and was always friendly and considerate of us and other guests.
The location was quiet and the resort was situated on a beautiful picturesque ocean that you could sit and quietly watch the ocean waves come in and out regularly and just feel completely chilled.
The room was clean and had a fantastic airiness to it where everything felt just right when you stayed there, where we had a sea view and a part mountain view from our balcony, where it felt so amazing because we would regularly listen to the ocean at night which it felt very tranquil. I'd also like to recognise reception for upgrading us to sea view room for free which neither of us was expecting as they said the rooms was available and it would be nice and quiet for us that side, which was a fantastic call by them and very much welcomed and appreciated. The only negative about the room is the AC unit definitely needs an upgrade, as it was struggling to push an cold air out at all. Also the fan unit in our toilet sounded like a seagull getting strangled, which did make me laugh at the funny noises coming from the fan.
The staff also brought my wife a birthday on the day of her birthday and staff wished her happy birthday which we was both surprised at (we wasn't expecting this) but we felt really recognised by these lovely actions, which meant a great deal to both of us.
Amenities wise, it felt like there was plenty to do, normally there is archery however some renovation work was being done so archery couldn't go ahead, and the pools were being cleaned outside. The amenities we did use was the outside lounging area, the balcony area from the wunderbar, and the landscape area with the beach recliners to sit and watch the ocean. We also spent a considerable time in the wunderbar listening to the various music that they play, especially at night which has different themes happening such as Turkish music which I absolutely loved and its music I will be listening to back home. Also its not an amenity (or maybe it is?) the cats roaming around outside made my heart fill with joy, such gorgeous cats and so cuddly, where I spent an obscene amount of time finding cats and petting them and cuddling them through our stay with magic life. I would recommend to bring hand sanitiser though to clean your hands after petting the cats just to be safe and hygienic.
The value of this resort since we came in off peak season was impressive, as it worked out around £89 per person per day for us which included flights there and back, where in the scheme of things is really cheap for 3 buffets a day, as much drink as you want and your room cleaned everyday, and as much cake as you want as well, so in all honesty really impressive and amazing value for the place.
The quality of the food we both felt was really good, it isn't going to be as amazing as lets say a resort that is £1500 per person for a week, but for the price per value ratio the food was much better than either of us expected and there wasn't anything there that we thought was a bit rubbish, we thought everything was tasty, lovely seasoning and well cooked including food being well drained of any excess oil and fat.
Finally, like I stated early into this long review, Tamina is a wonderful lady who has a natural knack for customer experience who will make your experience in our opinion unforgettable, she had fun with us and made us feel so welcomed and it felt at times like a cosy home where you are doing something with a close friend, and for us we always absolutely enjoyed seeing Tamina. We both feel that Tamina should be recognised for the work she does and if your establishment has a way to recognise her work please could you do so, as her drive and passion for her jobs truly does shine through, and she made our experience that even much better.
We both aim to return in the future not just for the experience of everything but also for the joy we had with Tamina and how much fun it was during the guest experiences with her. I wanted to write this praise as we all deserve to be recognised for the work we do, and I really wanted to write how impressed I was with Tamina, in a world of negativity and people finding it easy to moan about every small thing, I wanted to focus on more the good people are trying to do.
Thank you for reading my long review. You will love your stay here and I hope you get to experience some of the guest experience with Tamina like we did. Thank you magic life for an unforgettable experience.
