I had a lovely stay at this resort, surrounded by nature and right next to the zoo, which was a big hit with the kids. The rooms offered amazing views, but the dining options could use some expansion, especially for breakfast. The service was attentive, but there were slight delays during peak times. Overall, it’s great for families, but a few tweaks in the dining department would make it even better.

I had a fantastic stay at this resort, tucked away in a serene part of the Turkish desert. The views from my room were absolutely stunning and the beach access was a major plus. The dining options were good, but I found the breakfast menu lacking variety. The pool area was inviting and well-kept, making my relaxation time enjoyable. The price was quite reasonable for what was offered, though I wish Wi-Fi was complimentary.
