Lonicera Resort & Spa Hotel - Ultra All Inclusive

Ich habe meinen Urlaub in diesem Hotel verbracht und habe gemischte Gefühle. Es gab definitiv einige positive Aspekte, aber auch erhebliche Bereiche, die verbessert werden könnten. Was mir gefallen hat: Das Zimmer war sehr komfortabel, geräumig und sauber, was meinen Aufenthalt angenehm machte. Das Hotel liegt sehr nah am Meer, was für mich ein großes Plus war. Der Wasserpark hat viel Spaß gemacht und ist großartig für Familien oder alle, die sich entspannen und das Wasser genießen möchten. Was mir nicht gefallen hat: Das Essen war eine Enttäuschung. Es hätte viel besser sein können, vor allem für den Preis. Ich habe in anderen Hotels für weniger Geld übernachtet und die Auswahl war größer, vor allem bei Meeresfrüchten. Ein großes Problem für mich war der Mangel an Respekt gegenüber ukrainischen Gästen. Ich kam in der Hoffnung in die Türkei, türkische Musik zu hören, aber stattdessen spielte das Hotel im ganzen Gebäude billige russische Popmusik. Es gab viele russische Gäste, die sich unangemessen verhielten, und das Personal drückte ein Auge zu und sagte, diese Gäste seien zahlende Kunden und könnten tun, was sie wollten. Dieses Verhalten war besonders während der Unterhaltungsshows des Hotels zu bemerken, wo es auch zu einer unangenehmen Glorifizierung der russischen Kultur kam. Das ist höchst unprofessionell und inakzeptabel. Obwohl das Hotel als familienfreundlich angepriesen wird, sind mir viele ältere Gäste am Strand aufgefallen, die sich ständig über spielende und laute Kinder beschwerten. Wenn ihnen das so ein Anliegen ist, würde ich ihnen empfehlen, ein Hotel nur für Erwachsene zu buchen, anstatt von Familien zu erwarten, dass sie ihre Kinder in einer familienfreundlichen Umgebung beruhigen. Ich war von dieser Erfahrung wirklich enttäuscht und werde nicht wieder in dieses Hotel zurückkehren.

Room and lobby is nice. But I think that a hotel like this should have blackout curtains. Food was ok, but really crowded dining room ( looked like all the guest from World was also dining there. But first hotel Ive been to that didnt have ice cream for the kids . They had a ice cream house, but it wasnt open. Area was nice with a entertainment for the kids.. Service wasnt great. I was travelling with a kid and a senior citizen in a wheelchair. In all other hotels we always got help finding a table, but not in Lonicera. We walk around for 10 minutes sometimes, looking for a table. Also- the senior citizen sadly went to hospital. I asked if we could keep the room 1-2 hours more becouse of this. Had to talk to the reception manager that I think didnt belive me. In the end they wanted 100 euro for late check out (more or less the same price as one night for 3 people), witch was dissapointing and was really stressful for me and my son.

Reception staff, very unfriendly, even aggressive in communication with customers. Problems are solved by sending away, every time with a text come tomorrow. The food is the same every day, traditional Turkish sweets were not served, instead of them piles of chemical cakes soaked in syrup. Guests are noisy at night, disturbing the night's sleep. A fight that broke out at the beach bar between heated guests was not immediately prevented. The beach is dirty with garbage and cigarette butts, there are no elementary tables near the loungers to put drinks or things. Smoking was everywhere, no one controlled it, there were no separately designated smoking areas so that you would not have to relax next to someone who smokes. Drinks were served in used plastic cups, they gave paper cups to the beach. The sunbeds by the pool are practically inaccessible, as guests came to "reserve" them by throwing and leaving their towel or some other belongings. The hotel staff should control this behavior and prohibit it. The rooms are not cleaned, towels and bed linen are not changed. You had to go and look for toilet paper yourself, the minibar is not replenished. The hotel corresponds to a 2-star level. This is definitely the worst experience of all trips to Turkey!

After we booked this holiday we had a slight panic when we read the reviews. So after a week here is an honest review from a large British group who travelled (28 people) Firstly positives Hotel and room spotless Staff friendly & all spoke English Water parks and pools superb (if a little cold) Snack bar amazing for lunches The entertainment staff really do try and work hard Halloween Disco was amazing! Things that could improve Although the buffet was great after 6 nights we had had enough- I bet this would be the same for any all inclusive. Last night we walked into town and had food Something other than water in the mini bar would be great If you have a room above the disco its a bit loud- But we actually enjoyed the music! Very 90s dance Also read a lot of reviews moaning about Russian guests- we had no issues with fellow guests who happened to be Russian. Yes they are a totally different culture to ours but if you made an effort they are happy to interact with you. They do not do small talk and do not say hello when in the que or lifts but again is Western culture not Russian. I saw no arguing or lager louts that I have seen in majority British hotels

Hotel Review: Lonicera Resort Our family of four is currently staying at the Lonicera Resort, but unfortunately, it has not been the experience we had hoped for. We’ll be here for three more days, and here’s an honest account of our stay so far: 1. Food Quality & Variety: The buffet food has been the same every day, with very little variety. To make matters worse, three of us have already suffered from food poisoning. The on-site doctor was unhelpful, and when we were taken to a nearby clinic, we were charged $235 for a basic check-up, despite having insurance. 2. Room Conditions: We have a top-floor room, but the balcony is unusable because all the kitchen exhaust fans are on the roof, funneling unpleasant smells straight into our space. After six nights, the bed linens still haven’t been changed. We booked with the understanding that the a la carte restaurants would be open, but they have remained closed throughout our stay. 3. Facilities & Amenities: While the resort has a large property, finding space near the sea during peak season would likely be challenging. The pool water is surprisingly cold, and beach towels are only available at specific times, which feels restrictive. Entertainment is minimal, with nothing after 11 PM. Additionally, the bar drinks are poorly mixed, and if you want something decent, you need to go to a nearby shop for your own supplies. 4. Wi-Fi Access: The Wi-Fi connection is only reliable in the main building. Around the rest of the hotel, it’s nearly impossible to connect, which is frustrating if you need consistent internet access. If you require a reliable connection, this may not be the best place. 5. Service & Staff: The animation team could be friendlier, although the kids’ club staff has been a positive exception. Many of the entertainment options are also charged separately, which quickly adds up. In summary, although the property itself has potential with its spacious grounds, our experience has been disappointing. The food quality, lack of cleanliness, poor internet access, and unexpected costs make it difficult to recommend this resort, especially for families seeking a worry-free holiday.
