Adalya Resort & Spa Adults Only - Ultra All Inclusive

It's cozy. The hotel is nice. The food is varied. The service is excellent. Everyone is friendly. I'd especially like to mention Victoria at reception, who's a great person. Check-in was very quick.

We stayed at this hotel from August 29 to September 6, 2021. I enjoyed our stay. The staff was very friendly, the food was excellent, and everything was done to make guests feel like they were on vacation. The only downside was the very poor housekeeping in the rooms. I plan to vacation at the Adalya Resort again next year.

A very pleasant, peaceful hotel. The grounds are small, but well-maintained and green. The sea is 100 meters away, a sandy, clean beach with a gently sloping entrance. There's a promenade along the sea. The hotel has several swimming pools, including a children's pool, as well as a pool with slides (activated hourly). The cuisine is excellent. In addition to the main restaurant, there's a café on the beach, by the pool, a pastry shop, and a 24-hour lobby bar serving excellent Turkish coffee. Rooms are cleaned daily, with linens and towels changed. Overall, everything is thoughtfully designed for guests, yet unobtrusive. I recommend this hotel for families with children and older couples.

A wonderful hotel, stayed from October 11th to October 18th. We arrived early and were checked in right away. The room was spacious, cleaned daily, all the staff were friendly, including Russian speakers. The food was very good, including at the beach bar. The pool was a bit cold, especially the kids' pool, but it was ok to swim. It would be a good idea to limit access to the beach for people trying to solicit shopping, as they can be a bit pushy. Overall, everything was great.

So, my vacation at Adalya Resort & Spa has come to an end, and I’m ready to share my experience.

I’ll start with the staff — all the employees were very friendly and pleasant. The service was fast, but one small downside was that the staff didn’t speak English very well. There were moments when I ordered a specific drink in English, but ended up receiving something completely different.

Now, about the food. Breakfast started at 7:00 and lasted until 11:00. In my opinion, the start time was too early, because we usually came around 9 or 10, which seemed to be when most guests arrived. One day we came at 7:30 (it was very hard to wake up that early), and there were hardly any people — plus, not all dishes were ready yet; some containers were completely empty. The food selection wasn’t very diverse.

Another downside was that room cleaning probably starts early in the morning. As I mentioned, we usually left the room around 10:00 and always put up the sign requesting our room to be cleaned. It was cleaned only once during our 7-day stay. We would go to breakfast for about 40 minutes, then return to the room to change for the beach and leave for half the day. The one time the room was cleaned, the staff forgot to restock the snack bar — it was left empty.

Overall, I was satisfied with the hotel’s services and my stay there, and I can recommend this hotel.

I will try not to repeat myself as the other reviews but I believe the more people raise it, the more likely it is something to be done about it.

Pros:
-Let me start by saying that this is the most beautiful resort I have ever been too. You really get this luxury sense, you have everything in one place, absolutely loved the private beach, the 3 different outdoor pools and the waterslides were cool, all the bars, the food.

-We had requested a sea view and no ground floor room, and the hotel really listened to us. We had the most stunning room overseeing the swimming pools, greenery and the sea. So in love with it.

-There were pool snack bars and night snack bars. These people don't joke about their snacks 😂 We arrived at 1am in the morning and were sent for some food at the night snack bar and we were presented with a full menu. I and my partner had a burger with fries and kofte with fries, rice and tomatoes. And the portions were huuuuuuge! I was so amazed. Then the pool snack bar, again, they just cook, it's a menu, pizza pasta, they make everything. At least for me, no chance I would be hungry at any point of time.

-The entertainment was good. I thought for a relaxation oriented resort, there needn't be too many activities happening so for me it was more than enough. Some pool activities in the afternoon for like hskf an hour to an hour. I and my partner did the aqua bikes and it was fun. The beach activities, I engaged in Boccia, still don't get the rules, but it was ok, and had lots of fun playing beach volleyball. The evenings was sometimes a hit and miss, with livs performances in the amphitheatre or the lobby bar. My partner won in the bingo game, so that was cool, and the Fantasy dance group was really amazing.

-Parties.
Now, our most memorable activities were the Shaumparty (foam pool party) on Fridays and the night parties on Tuesdays. The foam party was really cool and fun. Both parties have different themes and lots of beautiful decorations.
And everything was in moderation so that it does not disturb the rest of the other guests. I would have loved to stayed one more Friday for one more Shaumparty.

Cons:
Now the cons, I am really trying not to be too negative because there is so much to love about this place.

But, a crucial part of our rest & relax holiday was affected by the nearby hotel Side Sunport. Every day at 10 am there was a wake up music!!! A wake up music which we could hear in our room, soo loudly!! I was waking up so grumpy. And not only this, but also on some days, almost every day, they were playing even louder music between 10 and 12, like we were in Ibiza, I ended up despising JLo's Dance on the floor!! And because that was not enough, on some days they would play again the same loud music in the afternoons and evenings. It was just too much. Too much. Anytime we tried to rest in our room with my partner, we could not and we were getting headaches. Because we couldn't rest properly, we couldn't sleep well either, resulting in constant fatigue and low energy.

I am writing this in hope something would be done. Because frankly that's the main reason that stops me from returning to Adalya Resort and Spa.

There were a few other things as well, but I am willing to compromise on them.

Most of the waiters in the restaurant did not understand English at a decent level. We eventually started ordering our drinks in German, given the staff were more communicable in German, but they were getting these wrong too. So it was raising the question if they were actually listening with intention to understand what drinks we wanted. And it would sound bad, I am a female myself, but unfortunately more such incidents were pertaining to the female part of the staff. For example, I order "Still Wasser" and they ask me "Mit Gas"? Is still water with fizz? My partner orders "Apfelsaft" and he gets "Orangensaft". They don't even sound the same.

We really liked the service at the hotel, the food, the rooms, the staff. I want to ask the hotel representatives a question. Tell me, can I take a photo as a keepsake on the hotel grounds next to the fountain, where the green lawns are? We went to take photos with my family, but photographers kept chasing us away. They said that we were bothering them. The tallest photographer assured me that in the evening it was their personal photo zone and we could not be there. When he saw that we were upset, he finally allowed us to take a photo. I didn’t know that I would have to ask permission. If it really is their territory, please warn the guests. And if we can be there at any time, please warn them so that they don’t chase people away.

This was already our seventh time at the Adalya Resort & Spa, and honestly – it feels more and more like home with every visit. From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed like old friends. Everyone is so kind, polite, and genuinely warm-hearted – it creates such a relaxing and enjoyable atmosphere that makes every stay truly special. What made this trip even more wonderful was seeing our favorite and long-time staff members again: Sabri, Murat, Mustafa, Ebru, and Tu *** – you are simply amazing! Your attention to detail, friendliness, and the way you treat guests like family makes all the difference. We always look forward to seeing you again. We were also very, very satisfied with some of the other familiar faces we were happy to see again: • Musa, the hairdresser, once again did an outstanding job – professional, friendly, and with great attention to detail. • Elias, the jewelry dealer, always has beautiful pieces and a smile. It’s always a pleasure to chat and browse. • Deniz, the photographer, captures unforgettable moments with creativity and heart – we’re so glad we got to see him again too. These people are not just staff members – they are part of what makes the Adalya Resort & Spa so unique and special. Conclusion: Our seventh stay was once again absolutely perfect – excellent service, wonderful people, and a feeling of comfort and genuine hospitality. We’re already looking forward to the next time
