Royal Asarlik Beach Hotel

So far, first impressions have been underwhelming to say the least. We've been staying TUI AI for years and I've stayed in 3 and 4 star in Turkey with TUI that put this experience to shame.

They gave the British visitors the most awful rooms despite us having paid for the luxurious main building balcony view rooms.

After we asked reception to correct this and they had found us another room halfway towards the standard we expected, we spoke to others from our flight and discovered they had been given the exact same room we had and then only upgraded when they complained.

Breakfast was in non air conditioned restaurant in direct sun with a flight of stairs or a lift between the buffet and the seating.

So this place has a lot to make up for during the week, if they manage to make good on our expectations I will revise this review to reflect that.

We arrived at half 1 in the morning had to wait over a hour for our room to be ready the room we got put in had mould all up the walls,the mirrors were dirty,the housekeepers wasn't wiping sides leaving clean glasses, when booked it said the safe was free and we used it on one night without knowing and got charged 700 lira,there was no life guards on the pools my child nearly drowned everyone just watched including the staff,some staff are friendly and some are over friendly they wouldn't leave my 13 year old daughter alone asking her to marry them,came over as we was eating saying they all think my daughter is beautiful and they all watch her one of them was 31 years old aswell,
I did send my daughter to the bar to see if she would get served with beer i stood back and watched and they did it was mainly alcohol baring mind she had a child's wrist band on, while eating one of them picked flowers of a beach and threw them in her hair it went all in her drink and food, even the security guards were watching her asoon as we got of the coach to arrive she even said herself as a 13 year old child on the 1st day mum i can't wait to go home i don't feel safe here, at a few bars they were friendly the snack bar he ignored us waited over a hour for food and he said he doesn't care what we want, went to the bar near the 2nd pool with the jacuzzi we waited 15 minutes for a drink to get served he was serving everyone except english people, people doing sexual things in the pool with children near them they didn't get told to stop, one of the staff grabbed my daughter and said say bye bye mummy u can come with me but she grabbed me and said no bye bye you, the food was the same every meal except breakfast, we had to go out for meals because my daughter did not feel comfortable eating upstairs, i would not say this hotel is a five star more of a 2, I'm a single mother taking my 13 year old daughter abroad its very scary i haven't slept properly we even had to sleep with the suitcase behind the doors with a can of deodorant next to the bed because of the way the majority of the male staff members were behaving with her the only time they left her alone was when the management were around but they still done rude gestures to her saying "me and u" staring and winking at her. I would not recommend this hotel to anyone only good things was that u get clean towels and bottles of water.

I recently stayed at what was supposed to be a five-star hotel in Bodrum, but it was a massive disappointment. First off, the hotel is ancient, and it shows. The so-called "garden family rooms" are conveniently located downstairs, but they conveniently forgot to mention that families with baby strollers are expected to perform Olympic-level feats by carrying them up and down the stairs!

The staff were beyond unhelpful, especially in the kitchen. During dinner, which abruptly ends at 9:30pm, they seem to forget that people might actually want to enjoy their meal past the curfew. At exactly 10pm, they decided it was lights out, regardless of whether you were still eating or not!

And don't even get me started on the lack of basic amenities. We asked for something as simple as lemon wedges for our soup at 9:28pm and were told they were "finished." Seriously? In a hotel this size? And the cleanliness? Let's just say, the smell in our room was reminiscent of a neglected dumpster.

As if that wasn't bad enough, the "snack bar" they boast about from 1am to 7am was a joke. A dry roll, tomatoes, cheese, and cucumber were the sad excuse for options. No butter, no lettuce, no sauces. And the self-service stations for coffee, tea, and juice were a hygiene nightmare.

Save yourself the trouble and avoid this place like the plague. It's a far cry from anything resembling a five-star experience. False advertising at its finest

Inside, not a 5 star hotel by any stretch of the imagination but a good 3-star. The food was pretty good - quite similar most days but something you can find to eat that didn't give you a dodgy stomach... (be aware - food is available in the Downstairs, rooftop dining area but is advertised to
serve food until 9pm. By 8.45pm you will have no chance of getting food as the restaurant and Kitchen staff are desperate to be out of their shifts and everything is cleared as quickly as possible).
There was a very bad smell all around the hotel the furniture was very old the towels and bed sheets was very dirty.
The staff at the hotel are not friendly and most of them do not speak English.
Car parking is very busy and they take very long time to get your car.
The staff in the bar always ask for tips.
The room service is very slow.
At the beach, people put towels on chairs at night to reserve chairs for the morning.
The hotel needs maintenance as soon as possible.
The WIFI was very slow.
The price per night in the hotel is very high.
They will never doing a arlley check in or late check out.
The hotel is located in the heart of the city and in the evening there is a lot of noise from the street.
overall all was a very unpleasant stay never will recommend it to anyone.
