Arnor De Luxe Hotel & Spa

Good-nice rooms, spacious with good facilities. Air con only works if the patio door is closed with handle down. Food was good selection but mostly catered for Turkish and German. Drinks were good and staff always available to serve promptly. Decent cocktails you will have to pay 6 euros for however. Private beach is very nice and the food there is better than at the hotel.
Poor- location at the edge of resort it was far too hot to walk into old town and next to a very busy dual carriageway, be prepared for traffic noise and petrol smells even at night. The entertainment was poor, the stage and tables set out like a theatre don't work. The shows were mostly in German and Turkish, very few staff actually speak much English. Sunbeds is the biggest issue at this pool. Unless you are down before 8 am you have no chance. Turkish families were just taking towels off beds and this caused lots of arguments between families. 5 times I saw almost fighting over sunbeds. This is a real issue that management needs to address. If you use hotel beach towels you are charged 10 euro if you lose a towel so people moving them caused massive issues.
Overall we enjoyed our holiday due to the company and weather but we won't return to Arnor.

Stayed here for 5 nights, and the hotel rooms were very nice. The staff were also very friendly and always accommodating. We all felt very welcomed when we came in. Before coming we did see the reviews about their food. We also weren’t a fan of it. Breakfast was not for me, I couldn’t finish most of my plate when I tried it (pancakes are a safe option tho). The scrambled eggs were too runny for me and the feta cheese tasted off. Lunch was basically the same as breakfast, couldn’t really finish my food. Dinner, was slightly a different story though. The main kitchen, I had some spaghetti and some of the pasta was uncooked and felt like i was eating it raw. The beef rolls, weren’t for my taste however friends did like them. Some of the chips were good but if they were left too long then you could tell. Their mash potato was also good. Late evening snacks are definitely their worst serving time. The cake had been left out since breakfast and flies tend to swarm around there. The food smelt off because it had been sitting out for too long. It made me want to throw up from the smell sometimes. Which was kind of disappointing because a lot of the times we didn’t have food in the day due to being out so we wanted a late night snack. But the food put us off and there wasn’t really any options for anyone to eat anything from there. The food being extremely mediocre or even inedible at times made us tend to eat outside a lot more. However, if you do come here and you are put off about the food, there is a lovely snack bar by the pool and the grill next to the main kitchen makes nice food (all of which is also free if you are getting an all inclusive).

Also the workers tend to flirt with you a lot which can be a bit creepy at times as they’re meant to be maintaining a professional standard. A couple of the guy staff there would not take no for an answer and would constantly come back asking for your number, Snapchat or Instagram. The creepy guy would only make up 35% of their staff tho. It’s just annoying when you’re trying to relax and a towel boy won’t leave you alone.

Activities were shown to us if we wanted to them. We only decided to go on 2 excursions which were the jeep safari and the Antalya tour. The jeep safari was fun but Antalya was such a waste of money. The Antalya trip costed around 50 euros and not a single thing was worth the money. Obviously this might not be the hotels direct fault as it was with the MTS group. We were dragged to unfun, poorly planned trips. The tour guide did not allow you to do anything . The restaurant we went to (on the excursion)was not nice at all. The meal was horrible. Chicken was served cold, along with the rice and the peppers tasted weird. They also only gave around maximum 10 fries. There’s no desert and you also have to pay for your own drinks. We were sat inside a bad interior even tho the outside had very nice lit up skyline (could’ve helped stomach the terrible food more). Lastly the sand land (whatever it’s called) was not interesting at all. From the get go I did not feel impressed nor did I want to be there. In my opinion like I said before complete waste of money, there are so many better things you could do in Antalya and I would not recommend the trip organised by the MTS group.

I would just like to add the despite my comments about arnors food I did enjoy my stay here and if I come back to Turkey, I would probably go to another hotel but I wouldn’t also mind coming back to Arnor. Although a lot of negatives were said it was a comfortable stay with the hotel. I would just recommend staying to eating food at the snack bar or grill, and also maybe missing out on breakfast unless you can stomach it. Also DEFINITELY don’t go on the Antalya tour.
