PALOMA SENCIA

We are currently on our seventh day at Paloma Grida, and our family is absolutely thrilled with our stay! The resort has been almost fully renovated, and the quality of the facilities has gone up significantly. While we do feel a little nostalgic for the charm and atmosphere of the former version of the hotel, the upgrades are undeniably fantastic. The service has been top-notch across the board. The reception team is always helpful and welcoming—a special thank you to Yasar, Mehtap and Memet! The culinary experience has also been brilliant. The food is consistently delicious with plenty of choices every single day. What truly sets the restaurant apart, however, is the amazing staff. They are super friendly, incredibly helpful, and go out of their way to make you feel at home. Huge thanks to Yalçin and Ayçe for their exceptional service. And a special note: we miss Bircan very, very much! Also big thanks for amazing coctails and excellent service at the 18+ beach bar to Memed! Highly recommended for a wonderful holiday.

We had an amazing stay at Paloma grida Belek everything was perfect the food was amazing the weather and also the staff were extra helpful and friendly! Especially Zarifa on reception who was very helpful! Would return!!

Very lovely resort!! This place certainly ticks all the boxes for entertainment, amazing food and most definitely the best cocktails I've had! Hasan at the pool bar is the master cocktail maker and if you want a cold delight try the frozen raspberry daiquiri! They are super friendly and nothing is any trouble. So much selection of pools to choose from, a nice beach linked to the hotel! The resort is to a great standard and the staff are constantly cleaning. You won't be disappointed! Thank you Mutlu at the bar for the drinks and atmosphere!!

We had a wonderful stay at Palma Grida, but one of the biggest highlights of our holiday was the entertainment team. A special mention has to go to the Moroccan guy, he genuinely went above and beyond to make both me and my husband feel welcome every single day. He always took the time to chat with us, encouraged everyone to join in the activities without ever being pushy, and brought such positive energy and enthusiasm wherever he was. His friendly personality, great sense of humour, and genuine care for the guests really stood out and made a lasting impression.

We had a fantastic stay at Paloma Grida and truly enjoyed every moment of our vacation. One of the things we loved the most was the hotel’s layout. The charming little streets, surrounded by beautiful greenery, create a peaceful and cozy atmosphere. It was a pleasure to walk around the resort, and everything felt comfortable, relaxing, and thoughtfully designed. The food was another highlight of our stay. There was an excellent variety of dishes at the buffet every day, with something new to try at every meal. The à la carte restaurants were also outstanding, offering delicious food and great service. We especially enjoyed the fresh, juicy fruits, which were available throughout the day and were always perfectly ripe. Overall, Paloma Grida is a wonderful place for a relaxing holiday. Beautiful surroundings, excellent cuisine, and a welcoming atmosphere made our stay truly memorable. We would be happy to come back again and highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a comfortable and enjoyable vacation in Turkey.

Lovely hotel, well designed, modern furnishings and beautiful plants and gardens. Pools are gorgeous. Everything very clean. Bedrooms spacious. It felt busy when we went, a lot of families, but we always found a sunbed. Music round the pool was really good and there are lots of activities. Water park is hilarious, I was lost for breath on some slides! Great location, easy walk up to the Belek shops. Kids club is fantastic- our 4 year old didn’t go into the club, she was having too much fun in the pool and on the beach, but she could wander in to use soft play, have her face painted etc. She loved the disco each night and the entertainment was really very good, acrobats and then live music in the bar area. Breakfast was great - fresh cherries and strawberries with white chocolate sauce waffles were eaten by us every day! The spa team were lovely! We had massages and they did my daughter a complimentary face mask which she loved as felt like she was also having a spa afternoon! We had a really lovely holiday, though some things weren’t the best. The reception team had no contact with us from arriving to leaving (in fact they didn’t even ask if we’d had a nice stay when I handed the key card back) so as I wasn’t asked for feedback directly here it is! Feels more like a 4 star. Food is generally good but repetitive and I wouldn’t say any meal was amazing. Some dishes not as expected eg The grilled chicken was either poached or a breadcrumbed, shaped burger. À la carte restaurants were all fully booked when we arrived. Guest relations did get us in but it seems this is a frustrating common theme. The à la cartes were all great and a nice change to be served. Despite the app saying only Quentine was open for à la carte lunch, the restaurant by Curio was also open at lunch for pizzas. Service was good, some much better than others. We did have an issue with a bar tender - not long after arrival we were served by him and asked how he was - he replied by saying something about being boring. He was then off hand on other occasions and clearly didn’t like serving us, yet favoured other guests. He made appalling watered down drinks so we spent most evenings hoping he wouldn’t be serving. Not great. Many of the guests were Russian and they seemed to be catered for more in my opinion. There was no hairdryer in the room. One was brought quickly but it was a tiny travel size so took ages to dry hair. The bedding was also not nice - like a huge rough cotton throw, not sheets like you’d expect from a 5 star. Whilst the water slides great, there was a life guard on the kids slide blowing her whistle every other minute, it wasn’t exactly fun. I know they have a job to do, but she wouldn’t let my daughter who’s over 1m tall down the slide on her own yet other kids smaller than her were. I think the rules need to apply to all. Cabanas are expensive at €120 euros a day. Hardly anyone in them, we’d likely have booked one if the price was more reasonable. Evening entertainment was great for our daughter, but it’s right next to the restaurant- do couples really want to hear baby shark as they’re eating their evening meals?! The single use plastic - I dread to think how many small plastic bottles of water they get through a day, must be thousands. Even when being served water at the table, it’s small bottles. Straws are also plastic. Finally, we were due to stay here last June and despite the hotel assuring me over many emails that it would be open following renovation, the hotel didn’t open when we were booked in and our holiday was amended just 2 weeks before causing much stress and additional cost to find an alternative. I emailed the hotel in advance of this trip and they didn’t either bother to reply. So the 5 stars for this review is given because we had a great time and it was very good value for what we paid. I just think a few things could be improved upon.

Hotel is great, immaculate grounds and rooms, perfect beach front location, kids club is amazing, so many activities that they don’t want to leave. Water park on site which is a bonus. Spa was beautiful, Turkish bath and massage very reasonable and very relaxing! Joanna in Quentine and Mutlu at the Aqua Bar made our holiday with great service and always a smile on their faces! Great cocktails, always making sure we had what we needed without asking 🥰

We have just got back from a 10 night stay at this hotel as a couple, both 21, and genuinely couldn’t fault it. I haven’t seen enough reviews that rave about this place as much as it deserves. Room We stayed in the standard inland view room and it was lovely. The beds are comfy and the bathroom is very nice with a spacious shower. There were two thin quilts in our wardrobe which we used over the usual thin sheet as we kept our aircon on the coldest setting at night. The only annoying thing is the aircon doesn’t stay on during the day once you leave your room. I think it may be on a self timer but I usually like coming back to a cold room. Food The buffet is immaculate, I have never been to an all inclusive with such an impressive array of food each night. We are not fussy eaters so will try everything however there is definitely food for everyone here. There is pasta, pizza, fresh salad, cheeses, soup, bread and lots of different types of chicken and other meats each night. There is an Asian cuisine part of the buffet which rotates each night. We had the Asian style shrimp, turkey and chicken in an Asian sauce and they were all amazing. With the Al La Carte book them as soon as you get there as they book up very fast. Download the Paloma Grida app as this is how you do it. We was unsure if it was 1 booking per Al La Carte per week you stay, however I don’t think they mind how many you book as we got into all 3 and returned to one of them again so 4 visits in total. Wabi sabi Al La Carte This was definitely our favourite one of the Al la Carte restaurants and we went here two of the nights. To start they bring around a plate of sushi and it was amazing. We had three starters between the two of us and you can try as many as you like. The chicken in sweet and sour was gorgeous along with the kung poa. They bring a lot of food out so we were very full each night. Quentine Al La Carte They do open the Quentine restaurant in the day for a table service lunch. At night it then turns into an Al la Carte restaurant which we really enjoyed. Again lots of food but very delicious. 100% recommend having the tiramisu it was fab! Avare Al La Carte Recommend having the grilled lamb skewer as it was so tasty. Definitely try the baklava and Künefe as they are one or the nicest desserts I have tried. The Avare turns into a pizza restaurant in the day from 13:30-18:00 and this was our fave place to go every day. The mozzarella tomato and pesto pizza you have to try!!! Sea salt adult only beach bar This was our fave place to spend each day. The sunbeds are double loungers which are padded and so comfy. The drinks are served in glass whereas around the pool they are plastic which makes it feel more luxury. Sevket was really nice to us and made the best strawberry daiquiris and iced coffee. The beach in general is pretty sandy with only a few pebbles we didn’t wear any water shoes so you won’t need them. Water park Such a good place for a laugh. Only thing is they are very strict with jewellery, you can’t have anything on. Other than that we had a blast and really enjoyed our time at the water park. Night time entertainment Such a good entertainment team. Acrobats, dancers and circus acts are extremely impressive. The Aladdin show was so good. Each night there was a live band and it was so good such a fab atmosphere. Belek is also only a 10-15 minute walk away from the hotel and a nice place to visit. The markets are on on a Saturday and would say it’s good to have a look around. Overall the food, entertainment, staff, cleanliness, everything was immaculate and we couldn’t fault the place. I really had the best time and made some unforgettable memories and would 100% return.

We had a lovely evening at Curio restaurant thanks to Ismail and his team. The steak was great but service even better. Thank you!

We have had a great holiday at Paloma Grida. The facilities are excellent, lots of pools with plenty of space and lots of sunbeds, no fighting for space which is a big plus. Food overall is good, though buffet can be a bit repetitive. Good choices for lunch and the à la cart restaurants are good. The hotel has brilliant staff, especially those in the Bistro, Joanna is excellent. The hotel is spotless, they do a fanatic job all over, but especially the pool toilets which are always immaculate. Overall we have had a great holiday here and would recommend especially for young families.
