Acar Hotel

Room- Me and my partner arrived quite early hours as transfer from airport is quiet long! When we arrived the desk staff were helpful and showed us around and took us up to our room. When we got in the room we realised that it was nothing like the pictures and we were disappointed as there was little to none moving space and the bathroom was very small. We wasn’t happy with our room and I felt that the lock wasn’t very secure and ours was dodgy(I am a very anxious person and staying in new places scare me) we was very tired and just made do for the night but spoke to our travel rep the following day and he sorted it and we would be moving to the room showed on pictures on the Thursday (it was Tuesday) As I said I’m very anxious so when leaving a place I double check doors etc multiple times before leaving , we went out for a couple hours and when we returned our door was wide open 😖we spoke to reception and they wasn’t very helpful and just said we would have to wait till Thursday. We finally got moved and the room we was expecting was fantastic , much more secure, more modern and lots of space where I could finally relax! There is 2 sides of the hotel , a more modern revamped side and then the old more downgraded rooms so if booking just be careful. Food- As it is all inclusive I expected a lot of different things but was quite disappointed with the options it is very much catered to European food so if you are looking for the English type of food you will not get much ! The odd day was chicken nuggets and pasta . Some other things I had a try off but I am a little picky and also Gluten intolerant so I was limited to choice and it was either have a sore tummy or starve option! Other facilities- Pool was a decent size and had a little baby pool as-well for the younger ones but I didn’t see no one check the pool water or any maintenance on it once in my week stay, the water clarity was very bad😖 Entertainment guys were very nice and always tried to chat to everyone and get them doing one of there activities or something, was very friendly to us. There is a Turkish bath spa in the bottom of the hotel and i personally didn’t use this one but they do have a little fish spa for your feet that I enjoy a lot and was very affordable. Around the area- Lots of shops and restaurants around the hotel so if you want to eat out there is plenty around mostly similar food but delicious. Plenty of shops to get clothes and souvenirs from at good prices . The beach number 34 is not that far from the hotel and only a 5 minute walk, didn’t stay too long as it was too hot but lovely clear water and you don’t have to pay for the sun loungers but you aren’t allowed to bring in your own drinks! We went to alanya town centre a couple of nights and was beautiful the taxi was only 150 tlr depending on time but would rather pay that as noticed the busses were always packed. If wanting to do excursions I recommend the pink panther safari it was a lovely day out fro
