Tu Casa Gelidonya Hotel★★★★

✓The variety of food was excellent. You definitely won't go hungry here - if you happen to miss one of the main meals, there are two snack bars open between meal times. Considering the price of the hotel, the food selection and service exceeded my expectations and offered very good value. The rooms were also quite decent. This is not a luxury resort, but they were clean, comfortable, and had everything we needed for a pleasant stay. The beach is only a short walk from the hotel, but it is extremely small. The path to the beach passes between the back sides of neighbouring hotels, where you unfortunately see and sometimes smell garbage, which is not the most pleasant first impression. That said, the sea itself was absolutely wonderful. The water was crystal clear, warm, and a real delight to swim in. I especially enjoyed night swimming. If you plan to spend a lot of time at the beach, I would recommend renting a car or one of the electric cart bikes available in the area. Kemer Beach is only a short drive away and offers a much better beach experience, with several other beautiful beaches also within easy reach.

!I would not recommend this hotel for groups larger than 4–5 people. Our family reunion brought together 12 people from two continents who hadn't seen each other in seven years. Unfortunately, the hotel was not well suited to accommodate a group of our size. There were no common areas where we could comfortably gather, so we constantly had to improvise. The staff were polite but not particularly helpful, and we didn't feel they made an effort to accommodate our group's needs. Communication was also challenging. If the hotel is looking to attract more international guests, I would strongly recommend having more English-speaking staff available. There was also an unusual issue with the room keys. I had to insist on receiving a second key for our room, which should not have been necessary. Finally, the hotel should invest in additional ice machines or improve the availability of ice. During our stay, there was almost always a shortage, which was especially frustrating given the extremely hot weather. While the hotel has its positives, these issues significantly affected our overall experience and made it less enjoyable than we had hoped.

✓Almost nothing

!Very poor service. Staff were inattentive and rude, and almost nobody speaks English. Our family is large, and the staff refused to let us sit together at dinner — they were rude about it and physically pulled the tables apart. The food was extremely low-quality and tasteless. Fish appears only a couple of times a week, and it's gone within 20 minutes. There is also not enough seating in the restaurant for all the guests — if you come to dinner at 8 pm or later, every table is dirty and covered with leftover food. The rooms are old and shabby— there isn't even a glass for your toothbrush. The room preferences we submitted in advance with our booking were simply ignored. This is not a beachfront hotel, despite what you might expect. To reach the beach you have to walk along a dirty, foul-smelling path lined with rubbish bins. The beach itself is small and cramped, with old and broken sun loungers. Beach towels are issued only against a deposit, and every change costs 1 euro. The entertainment shows are vulgar and run loud until late at night — you can hear them in every room.

✓The welcoming staff was friendly and multilingual. There was a decent selection of food. We loved the pool, which was shaded by the buildings and provided some relief from the scorching sun in the middle of the day. We also really appreciated the couple of small gifts we received upon check-out as a keepsake. Free sun loungers on the beach. A good budget hotel.

!The path to the beach leads through trash bins, which isn't very pleasant for those wanting to go to the beach. The only alcohol available was always gin, and occasionally vodka. There was no drinking water in the refrigerators until the bar opened at 12 noon.

✓Größe des Zimmers, saubere Handtücher und Bett

!Kaum Auswahl an Essen, ständig kein Besteck oder Geschirr, sehr oft schmutzig das Geschirr und Tische, dabei quatscht Personal in der Ecke und tut nichts. Zimmer wurde nicht jeden Tag gereinigt so wie kein Wechsel für frische Handtücher. Extrem rutschig Boden in der Nähe vom Pool. Sehr enge Verhältnisse in Restaurant und am Strand..."kein Platz oder extrem eng". Personal ausgelaugt und angespannt. Kein Trinkwasser in Flaschen für Gäste mehrere Tage bei Temperaturen über 40°C. Dieses Hotel verdient 2 höchstens 3 Sterne.
