Anda Barut: where your holiday expectations have just been blown out the water
pirms 4 mēnešiJust returned from 7 nights with our 3 sons (11,15,15) at this beautiful resort. I have been to Lara and Belek many times and this was my first time in Didim. It didn’t seem long enough which is a new feeling for us all. We had a sea view swim up in the family zone which was perfect for boisterous boys. Our rooms were stunning and all the small details made the experience perfect. Our cleaning lady was truly wonderful and nothing in the hotel seemed too much bother. Guest relations on the WhatsApp were more than accommodating at helping any à la carte reservation and even when there was bug spray required. The whole hotel was large but without feeling overcrowded. There was never a sunbed war and always some available somewhere. The ability to scan a barcode for drinks around the pool was so handy and Bertran looked after us all week at family bar. The food was exceptional everywhere we tried and the kids adored the games room, daytime darts, airsoft and the slides. Previous reviews complained of the call to prayer that I didn’t hear at 5am but found very soothing throughout the day. I can understand why people wouldn’t want a room facing the slides, but more from the sights & sounds of the waterpark & nothing to do with noise from Turkish culture. I think it’s personal preference what you prefer. An absolute delight to be able to use the à la cartes and only mildly cumbersome you don’t see a physical menu which I believe is more to do with hotel sustainability than anything else and just people picking at faults. We were sad to leave as every facility and staff member was hospitable, polite and glad to see us. We will be back. I’ve never enjoyed a holiday in Turkey more! If I had any advice it would be pack strong bug spray, don’t overpack toiletries, hairdryers, straighteners or a beach bag as the hotel provides it all. A sea view swim up room will absolutely make your holiday and guest relations can and do help with any issue over booking à la cartes. Take the time on the first day to get on a buggy and go a tour to see the expanse and facilities on offer as we picked up new information every day. Download the app before you go so you have some awareness of how awesome this holiday is going to be. Finally get a private transfer if you can to get there sooner and leave later! Thank you Anda Barut for having us 💜
