"We stayed in Idas Hotel for ten nights. The staff were friendly and attentive, always on hand to help. The bar staff Omar and Kadir were excellent. We went over to Idas Club for the evening entertainment and the entertainment team were amazing. Regardless of if you’ve got kids or not, they went out of their way to make you feel involved. On the few times we went to the Idas Club pool in the day (the family hotel not the adults only) the entertainment team were getting everyone involved in activities, and lots of opportunities to win some cash on things like football cards, open the box etc. we won a couple of those and even though we weren’t there at night when they announced it, the entertainment staff found us the next day to let us know we’d won, which was a good thing for them to do.
The rooms were attended daily and the bins emptied and beds made with fresh towels provided, also two big bottles of water were left in our room each day, which was a nice touch. The cleaners were always friendly too.
The food wasn’t great, there was a big variety, but all kind of the same. A few days there were onion rings and vegetables for breakfast which we found a bit bizarre, and there were chips at EVERY meal. The restaurant staff are always on hand to help too, and cleaned up after everyone. There wasn’t a day when there wasn’t a guest dropping and smashing a plate or a glass, but the restaurant team dealt with it quickly and efficiently with no fuss.
The pool is large enough and there’s plenty of sunbeds, though the ones round the pool aren’t comfy, the ones up on the top deck were better, if you want an umbrella the bar staff sort them for you quickly, and the bar is situated at the side of the pool so easy enough to get to while enjoying the sun.
The hotel is around five to ten minutes walk away from the beach, with plenty of shops and bars around it. I’d recommend going to Cheers Bar at least once in your stay, we only discovered it the last few days and had such a good night both times we went.
This was our first visit to Türkiye, and some of the reviews of the hotel before we went weren’t great, but overall the hotel is clean, with friendly staff with lots of help if you need it, there’s a spa, hairdresser, tattooist and a jewellery shop on both sites. You can use either hotel for drinks/food/pool/shopping, and that was surprising as at some resorts you can only use the one you’re based in, just thought I’d include that as I think it was one of the other guests who mentioned they’d been at the Club (family one) and a bonus is that they do ice cream between 2-3 and 5-7 at the club hotel!! There’s also a gym that can be used but it gets busy in the afternoons we found. All in all, a good stay and good location for just relaxing by the pool or doing a bit of shopping"
