The staff were wonderful and couldn't be more helpful.

Food was excellent and much varied

I expected a luxury experience at this resort, but my stay fell far below that. My first room was not ready, and when it was, I was given a twin‑bed room that was visibly unclean — hair on the shower head, a dirty mirror, and a stained robe with someone’s eyelash curler still in the pocket. Even after being moved to a king room, cleanliness was still an issue, and I ended up cleaning the space myself. Service was the most disappointing part. I repeatedly watched staff assist other guests while ignoring me, to the point where I had to get my own drinks — even pouring my own beverage at a garden bar. Some staff were kind, but many interactions felt dismissive. As a Black traveler, I also couldn’t ignore how isolated I felt; I didn’t see a single other Black guest during my three‑day stay, and the difference in treatment was noticeable. The food was consistently subpar, and basic comforts like the bed, water quality, and bottled water were not up to standard. While the grounds, pool, and spa looked nice, the overall experience was far from luxurious. Coming directly from the Fairmont Quasar Istanbul made the contrast even clearer. I left feeling relieved for the stay to be over.
