This was our first stay at an all inclusive and my husband and I had a great time. We thought there was a large variety of food, which many healthy options. The staff was very helpful and friendly. Room was clean, and for the most part quiet (you can hear the entertainment go until maybe 11 pm or so), with a wonderful view. It was end of the season, so it seems prices were also quite low for the experience. Overall, we were very happy. My only complaint was how often and almost aggressively, staff would come to offer massages/spa/haircuts. It’s one thing to offer while we are walking by in the lobby, when you can politely decline and keep walking. But to repeatedly come up to us while we are laying by the pool was flat out uncomfortable. I felt like we only agreed to a massage bc we literally had to or he would never leave us alone (and we did not cave until our 3rd day). The prices were comparable to a massage in America, which was not impressive since everything else was so much cheaper. All in all, I would definitely return for another stay.

Great stay
We were upgraded to a jacuzzi suite room in the new block, which was beautiful, modern and very clean and spacious. The air con wasnt very good and the fridge wasn't stocked at all. Other than this it would perfect. Being in this new suite gave you the privilege of another pool and bar and was a lot quieter.

The rooms are comfy with good air con. The stairs get easier as the week goes on but its the price you pay for amazing views and there is a lift if you need it. Great location for Olu and Hisoranu. Food is lovely and the staff are great. Have been before and was disappointed that 90% of the entertainment is geared towards 10% of the customers. i.e. the 18 to 30 age range. Ive been before and was really forward to my return. Based on the loud music and style of entertainmenr i wont go again.

We had been coming to this hotel for years and it has always been ok, but this year it was a disaster!!! Hotel has went right downhill.... we won’t be returning!!! The AC repeatedly stop working and when it did work it smelt like sulphur . We had to move rooms twice because the rooms we had been allocated were unliveable. Dirty , poor condition and lacking basic maintenance. Other people in our party had similar issues. The hotel manager is rude and unwilling to even listen to our complaints . Every day we heard people at the reception complaining about the poor standards of the hotel. We won’t be back !!!

It was a nice hotel in a calming area close to the beach. Overall it was a good experience. It could have been a lot better if our Airconditioning worked all the way to the end. It stopped working on day 3 even with the doors closed during the day. Staff kept fobbing us off saying we must have left the door open. One staff said the night temperature was set to 25 degrees for all guests😥 Be aware that the contact numbers on the entry card for the door of the room have no relevance to the hotel, we called it when stranded only to be told it's not the hotel, when we got back to Hotel the member of staff confirmed that she didn't know who the numbers belong to 😳 The food was ok but the menu options became increasingly fewer toward the end. The spa staff and cleaners were very polite and helpful Inspite of this we hope it's all sorted before we come back.

It was a nice stay in the hotel, view are very nice food are good too. We really enjoy our stay only downside is no heated pool so if you go around Oct you will not be able to use much pool as water is too cold. Otherwise it is a nice hotel.

Great holiday at a beautiful hotel
Orka Sunlife is a great hotel were we had an amazing holiday. The service was great, the staff were friendly, helpful and most of them speak English. The food was good, definitely you can find something that you enjoy eating. Their local wine is good but we did not like the beer. The pool looks great but the water is very cold. The beach towels are soft and nice. The views are stunning, the beach area near the Blue Lagoon is amazing BUT if you want to get into the water you need some shoes that you can purchase for 30TL.The nearest town is Hirasonu-taxi 12TL and to get to the Oludeniz beach you can take the taxi for 20TL( the free shuttle takes you to Billy's beach, which we weren't a fan of).You can take boat trips from the beach. Even though they are not at all cheap, the massages really worth the money.

Big, all-inclusive resort hotel.
We had an okay time here (couple with a 13 year old son) but probably big resorts like this aren't really for us. We were out all day so didn't really take advantage of it. The pool area was really crowded.

Lovely modern hotel, short taxi to local towns
Good food amenities. Bit of an issue with late checkout. Website says available but on my leaving day there wasabout 15 flights leaving for uk and no one I spoke to was able to get late checkout. I was told no before the receptionit's remembered to ask my room number. Bear in mind if late flight home.

Generally unpleasant hotel.
Room was not available until 90 minutes after the designated checkin, there were toenail clippings on the floor when I finally got to my room and the staff was generally unpleasant and unaccomadating. The food was mediocre and the clientele was a bit loud, tattooed and very out of shape. It felt a little like I was at mid grade hotel at Disney World.

A little bit above average.
We stayed at this hotel in June 2015. I had booked a sea view room; however was given a no-view room. After going back to the reception, our room was changed. The rooms are super tiny. You can barely move or lay your luggage. It says 5 star hotel, but with American standards I'll give this hotel 3.5 stars. Spa team try to sell you stuff and if they talk to you and you don't buy, they show an attitude. The hotel setting is nice. If you are a non-smoker, you will have a hard time since almost everybody smokes there. To use a la carte restaurant they charge you an additional fee which is ridiculous to me. There was a ping pong table and a mini football; however, we never found a ball to play and the racket was torn as well. The room amenities like shampoo, tissue,...were with the lowest possible quality and there was no hair conditioner. The gym opens at 8 am. Once I went there at 10 am and the room was still locked. I had to see 4 different people and waste 30 minutes to find someone to open the room for guests. Food was plenty and tasty.

Exceptional resort, worth every cent!
Amazing food and service. Very well-run resort with an exceptional view. Lots of activities for all ages, with a wonderful animation crew leading the way. Wide selection of included drinks and unlimited bottled water. Very willing to assist with business needs (eg. minimal printing) at no additional charge. Despite being somewhat isolated in terms of location, there were ample leisure activities to keep one occupied for a week or more. Would definitely recommend this resort to others.

Idyllic setting
Spent the last week of October here with my daughter to have a total chill. Loved the setting and views from all areas of the hotel. Set high on the hillside above olu deniz, the views along the coast are spectacular. Well worth the extra for a sea view room. There is a free shuttle to the blue lagoon beach. Taxis are about £6 in to olu deniz and we always found the taxi drivers friendly and helpful. Food was better than we expected, although did feel a little repetitive by the end of the week. The salads were delicious as were the baked on site turkish sweets . I ate far too many as they tasted amazing. Very nice touch to have the chef behind the buffet counter cooking omlettes to order at breakfast and lovely salmon fillets and stir fries at dinner. Drinks ok, although you did have to go to the bar. It would have been lovely to have table service in the bar and round the pool. Cocktails varied according to who was mixing. Our views of the hotel were confirmed by others, especially the holiday makers who were staying elsewhere and were in the shuttles picking us up. We had a great time and would definitely return.

Nice hotel with lovely sea views
The hotel was in a good position with really lovely sea views. The room was quite small but comfortable enough for us. The staff were friendly, especially Hassan, Zafar and Ayhan at the pool bar. The food was good with a huge selection each day. The only down side was that the pool was too cold to go in- except for the brave few! Please warm the pool next season, for the enjoyment of guests and to make the entertainment team's job easier - no-one wanted to join in water aerobics or water polo because of the water temperature!

Kaybolan eşya ve Vurdumduymaz sorumlular
Otelden genel olarak memnun kalmamıza rağmen. Anahtarın sadece bende ve otel görevlilerinde olmasına rağmen odamızdan alınan ve daha hiç giyilmemiş olan şort için görevliler ile konuştuğumuzda hiç bir şekilde çözüm üretemeyeceklerini bildirdiler. Odadan kaybolan ürünün değerinin önemi yok ama yönetici olduğunu söyleyen arkadaşların vurdumduymazlığı paha biçilemez. 9000 tl ye yakın para verdiğimiz bu bu tarz ilgisiz ve duyarsız yaklaşımla karşılaşmak gerçekten üzücü. Misafir olmak isteyenlere tavsiyem odaya büyük bir kasa koydurup valizlerini içerisinde saklamaları olacak.
