This is my favorite destination on the entire planet. This year marks 10 years since our first…read morevisit. This review will go from reservations to the sea to explain what to expect from good visit. Reservations from at least a month in advance makes sense because this place is almost always operating at full capacity. No political events affect how active this place is in comparison to everywhere else because the patrons are largely established Turkish families. I would advise placing reservations through a travel agency as they are able to speak with accountants and such in the event of any issues. Breakfast goes from 7-10 AM; dinner from 7-10 PM. The earlier you go the better. In recent years dinner has seriously improved. I ate various fish and greens for a whole week without once being bored. Hotel requires payment for any other meals and all beverages. Food can be ordered at the beach restaurant and to deck chairs on the pool and seaside. They have an indoor gym and pool in addition to an outdoor pool and the best seaside I have ever been privileged enough to visit. The gym facilities are well-furnished with weights, ellipticals, treadmills, weight machines, a rowing machine, mats, stretching devices, and water. Best part about working out here is that you sweat double what you sweat inland. The sea is a bit salty but worth every eye and throat burn. Wind starts picking up in mid-August and the climate becomes somewhat like a warm Çanakkale. Room fees start to go down and the hotel can operate beyond its capacity at this time so the final week of high season is my preferred time to visit.

This is a review for one of the restaurants at this hotel, not the hotel itself. We were enjoying…read moreIlica Beach and decided to go to Sheraton for lunch. We sat at the Laguna Restaurant, right on the beach. The chicken skewers were tasty but salty. The shrimp salad was also salty. The cheeseburger was reasonable. The penne pasta was "good" according to my 13 year old daughter. The service was above average and when they delivered the wrong food, they quickly rectified the situation. Had the food not been salty I would have given it a 4 star. I just think salty food is a kitchen crime.

We stayed in the Alaçati Marina Palace for 3 nights while traveling throughout Europe and Turkey. I…read moream so glad we chose this hotel. It is a small hotel, maybe a dozen rooms, but their staff really treated us like family instead of guests. Always accommodating, honestly at our beck and call which I have never experienced before! The Turkish breakfast on the lawn by the pool every morning was fresh and DELICIOUS! The hotel is directly across from the Marina, but you would need a car to go to Alaçati or any notable sights/towns. I am so happy we came here, the value is fantastic!!

We have taken the family here each of the past few summers for a fun chill beach vacation on the…read moreAegean Sea. This hotel is a nice 3 star hotel but it is totally low key. The price is great and it comes with complementary breakfast and dinner + WIFI. Most of the guests are upper middle class Turks. The staff speak varying degrees of English but they are helpful and welcoming. This hotel has become our go-to Turkish vacation spot. One recommendation for any US or Euro visitors, get a middle tier room (aka executive Suite) in terms of price they are good, they come with a balcony and at times apparently come with free mini bar access.

Wonderful accommodations. Gracious proprietors. During & after the coup, they helped us to make…read morealternate arrangements for flights and transported us where we needed to go. I can't express enough our gratefulness for their kindness & concern.
