Kadikale Resort All Inclusive

We would like to thank the photographer at Kadıkale Resort for capturing our holiday memories so beautifully. Thanks to his warm approach, friendly smile, and passion for his work, we felt completely at ease. The photos he took are both natural and of excellent quality. Every time we look at them, we relive the most beautiful moments of our vacation.

Forget about the Turkish hotel star ratngs. This is a 3.5 star hotel. 4 stars on a sunny day. Someone said that the hotes is whay you make of it... well, this one is making me hard to find samething worth the money I have paid for it. That being said, I will never come here again, or Turkey most likely. Soooo... where to begin. This is definitely not the ultra all included resort as advertised. Not everything is available all of the time. Ice cream, snacks and such are available 2 hours a day. All that is always available is cheap liquor and machine soft juices. The food is actually good and they try to make it interesting and there is something for everyones taste. Always enough foe anyone. All the sweets taste roughly the same, too mush sugar in everything, but that's the way locals love it. I would say that our room was the oldest in this resort. We paid for double bedroom, but were given the single one. After complaining, we got this... let's call it apartment. The apartment we were forced to take, since everything else was full apparently, was unused for some time. The two A/C units were uncleaned for ages. The room was filled with moisture and mold odor, the air from A/C units as well. One was barely blowing cold air at all. We actually had black mold in the bathroom. See the pics. If you have a problem or are unsatisfied in any way, you can count on staff being rude (in our case very rude indeed) or not understanding english all of a sudden. The very young receptionist was so rude when we came with our problems to him, while the manager stood next to him and said nothing. He did send someone to clean and repair the A/C, but nothing was really done. The stairs... the damned stairs. This resort is all in stairs. Wherever you need to go, you'll need to take the stairs. People with knee problems or anything stairs related, stay away! The beach, or more precisely the wooden dock, is OK. You can take fresh beach towels every day, one per guest. The number of beach chairs and parasols is not enough for all of the guests. You must come and claim what you need on the beach before 8AM! People reserve their parasols and chairs when they leave the beach by leaving towels, wate bottles or alike, so that makes it much worse. Nobody removes the reserving towels, even after we were said that the towels will be removed after 15 minutes. So... nobody of the staff cares, as is the case with almost everything else.

Upon our arrival at the hotel around 1 a.m., we were given a double room without a window, room number 920. The receptionist said they couldn’t change our room. However, around 3:30 a.m., a room suddenly became available—of course, for an extra charge of €80, with no receipt provided. The room we received had a broken bed. The food at the hotel is monotonous. The service is slow and the staff seem tired. The animators also show no motivation to work. This hotel definitely does not deserve 5 stars—more like 3 stars.
