Returned to Orka in July this year after a few very enjoyable visits in the last few years...once again we were not let down. Nothing changes in this hotel apart from top class service from top to bottom.The entertainment team was great once again (the legend that is Sunny) and the rest of the guys were excellent, (GET INVOLVED) The restaurant service and food was excellent (special praise to Ayhan the manager and also Fatih..top class again) Bar service is never a failure with Emin and the team but special praise to Emir and Lamia through at the luxury suites. The reception team was fantastic with any requests. I have to mention the main man..Uğur (manager)...the holiday would not have ran so smoothly for us if wasn't for him ... What a guy...thank you for looking after us and checking on our well being each day. We shall defo be returning and hopefully in the next year or two.... Thank you Orka....you never fail A holiday is what you make of it but these people certainly make it easier.

“Honest Appraisal”

I really enjoyed my experience at this hotel.

I really enjoyed my experience at this hotel. I wouldn't consider it 5* and it has a few things it needs to improve upon, but overall it has a lot of positives and I suspect most will have a good experience. I would return. Positives: varied food choice with snacks available for most of the day, good drinks on AI menu, entertainment team are very friendly as are most staff, really good hotel water slides (open for 4 hours per day), free buses to waterpark and beech, free entry to waterpark which is a good small / medium park, good football court, good pools, including indoor pool with sauna and steam room, adequate rooms, fantastic scenery in the mountains, fridges providing endless bottles of water helpful, a few good nightly shows like the fire show, free room safe and stocked mini bar (those on arrival free, no replenishment other than water), and a very good gym (not for me on holiday, though!). Opportunities to improve: Wifi is very bad, patisserie opening hours (3-5) far too short, more pool games needed for children, better table service on drinks at restaurants / bars, shows every night, security at amphitheatre (too many kids throwing things or shining lasers), get lift working every day, provide food / drinks at aquapark, more beds at pools, and really need to review games rooms pricing - both pool room and arcades very bad value - minor tweaks would stop them being empty and increase enjoyment for children (and adults!). Other: Taxis 150TL for short trip Hisanoru (shops + bars) - make sure they put on meter for longer journeys. Cable cars up mountain next to hotel and good value. Towels provided by hotel and can be regularly exchanged. Haggle on prices if buying goods from shops. Buy excursions in Hisanoru (12 islands boat trip good value). Watch out for weight limits on waterpark slides (both heavy and light for children). Lifts not great and steps steep - we knew this before we arrived and didn't cause us a problem in the midway up Saturn block. Over an hour travel from airport - varies depending on private / shard transfer etc. There is a luxury side to the hotel that has balcony jacuzzis, private pools / bars etc. Perhaps this may push the rating up if you stay there, but can't comment as didn't experience this.

Just returned from this hotel Swim up suite room- don’t waste your money the whole block can use the pool and pay £2000 less! The other guests children climb along the terrace and all guests at the pool looking straight in your room no privacy at all but can’t close curtains as it’s so dark in the rooms! The kids all left massive floats in the pool so to gain access into pool from room terrace you had to tackel the floats first. Swimming pool in our block closed at 6 same as main pool by then it’s still hot so wasted money having it really. Pull out bed in room suites not big enough my 15 year old daughter barely slept for the 10 nights we was there. Hotel was clean mostly although my daughter had a mouldy t-shirt down the side of sofa bed that had clearly been there a while. Other than that hotel was clean and nice hotel. Only benefit from our room was there was no stairs as we had the luxury block we was next to the entrance. Our friends were with us and were half way up the stairs ! Killer! There is a lot of stairs when the lift is broke half the time! Food- lots to choose from was nice food other than lunch was very repetitive. I have allergy was given a card to carry by reception at check in but if you asked anyone in dining room no one understood apart from one chef in the red and that was very limited. Afternoon had waffles and ice cream 3-5 by 4 the waffles stopped. Jacket potatoes nice but only 12-1 by pool area but not much choice to go in it. Area- can’t go anywhere unless in taxi which was only 150 lira one way but all added up when we went out a lot as wasn’t much to do in evening unless you had younger children to go to the entertainment. We spent £200 in taxis. Beach- cost 300 lira each to go on at Billy’s beach at the blue lagoon this was sandy rather than the stoney one you can get a shuttle to from hotel cost 260 lira in taxi to get to. Water park- free shuttle once a day turned up 25 mins before scheduled times luckily we was outside reception at the time. They check your bags on entry and take away any food or drinks you have. Was very expensive once in for food and drinks. Shuttle return to hotel only once a day around 17:00 but by 2pm we had enough but enjoyed the time there but not enough to go on to stay all day. I have been to turkey many times last year included I can honestly say I wouldn’t return to this area due to how more expensive things are compared to other areas and the little you get for your money in this area. Hotel although was nice enough but I wouldn’t return
