Royal Asarlik Beach

"We visited from 21st to 28th October. Unfortunately we weren’t informed that the hotel was closing on 28th October. In the week we were there, the hotel slowly started shutting down. The rooftop restaurant was closed for the last 3 days, leaving us with only 1 restaurant to eat at. The bars closed too leaving us with only the poolside bar and then just the indoor lobby bar for evening drinks. There was no entertainment for the duration of our stay. We went to get an ice-cream one day but it had all been packed away, we still had 3 days left. The food that was on offer was inedible and tasteless. I’d read reviews before we visited but decided to come with an open mind, unfortunately I should have believed the reviews. I have never been on an all inclusive holiday and lost weight!! The hotel itself was fine, the pool area looking out onto the beach was nice. The indoor spa, steam room and sauna were nice however they also closed mid way through our stay so we couldn’t use them for the final 3 days. The room we had was dark and didn’t seem the cleanest. Considering we were the last guests in the hotel, a nicer room wouldn’t have gone a miss. We had a mini fridge in the room which had 3 bottles of water in on our first day. This was never restocked. We had lots of shower gels, a couple of conditioners but no shampoo. The bottles looked like they had been reused and topped up. There was a weird smell coming from the sink. The sink was also blocked. Other family members had a room which smelt of sewage so they had to move rooms. In the final day we were the last guests in the hotel, staff were moving furniture around us as we lay on the sunbeds. Fridges, dishwashers…all being moved as we lay by the pool. The beach was condoned off on the last day while they removed the net from the sea and cleared away the tables and chairs The staff however were lovely and friendly. I can’t fault them. It’s a shame that the hotel was just so awful. Maybe in the height of summer, the hotel would be better with more food on offer, entertainment and an atmosphere. Personally I won’t be returning."

"Awful Food, previous reviews are correct and we ended up eating our evening meal in restaurants in Gumbet, where we had some delicious food The Hotel and facilities are good, room was clean and modern and were serviced every day. Breakfast turned out ok because I had freshly cooked omelette and toast every morning, the rest of the food was dire. Evening meals were very poor, cold, unpleasant food, the restaurant was always half empty and it's no surprise with the quality. None of the ala carte restaurants were open. Highlights for the food were a breakfast omelette, a chicken wrap at the bar and the waffles from the pattisere. I've visited all inclusive resorts around the World and never experienced such poor food. Don't book this Hotel"

"Please please please think twice about coming here. Everything you have read about the food is TRUE! The food is so so bad, we ate out most of the time which is a nonsense when we have paid to be all inclusive.Breakfast was awful, lunch a bit better and dinner was always inedible. The staff are rude and spend more time on their phones than serving , at one point our waiter at the à la carte answered his phone as he was handing us a plate! Management clearly don’t care , the staff don’t care so we as customers should avoid this place. The hotel is really tired looking , things just didn’t work ie showers , coffee machines etc all we got was a shrug of the shoulders from staff. The hotel manager should be ashamed of the way his staff go about their day. Should be 0 stars. AVOID AVOID AVOID"
