Commodore Elite Suites & Spa - All Inclusive - Adult Only

We arrived in the early hours but check in was a breeze as they were expecting and waiting for us and the porter took us quickly to the room. It was great that the bistro is open all night and serves food, so we grabbed drinks and a burger too at 2am! The room itself is comfy. Air con works well and the swim up option was worth the money as the pool is shared by just a dozen rooms and you get your own patio and comfy loungers and parasol, away from the noise and busy pool/beach areas. We spent most of the day here. The single beds are disappointing to see, but the mattress and pillows are comfy. Good to see a free safe and the size of the room was decent. Shame they insist on those stupid coat hangers! Really in a 5 star resort we won’t steal coat hangers so just make them easy to use please…. Mini bar was replenished well with plenty of bottles of water which is great. Maid service is very good too, no issues at all and visit early in the day so you know the room is sorted. We celebrated an anniversary whilst away and had some lovely towel art and flowers on pillows etc, a nice touch - plus wine and treats to the room. WiFi worthy of mention. It’s fast and coverage is great. Never failed to work and streamed TV fine and deserves a special mention. Food wise we went to the buffet most nights and drink service is generally good. Sometimes slow with drinks at breakfast. Food choice and quality is good although being in Turkey there is lots of veal and no bacon or ham. I get it re their culture but they serve alcohol so why not cater for your other religions and needs…. Cocktail choice is limited if you, like me, like creamy types of drink like White Russian - as these are not offered. But you can get a baby Guinness! We did the Gusto à la carte one evening and that was a good experience, great service and plenty of good food. The menu is confusing because you actually get ALL cold starters and then the soup, then you choose the hot starter and main and desert. We actually had 3 x desserts because the waiter said the Tiramisu was not so good and to have another option too! We opted for the free photograph offer and this turned out to be a full photo shoot for almost an hour and including the sunset… we had some fantastic pictures taken and the difficulty then was shortlisting the favourites. They took 800 pictures and at EUR10 each for a digital version we struggled but in the end got a deal of 35 for £260. These are priceless memories, albeit costly. They didn’t want to budge much on price but we did get a physical print too and all the pics were sent digitally quickly. The hotel is located amongst lots of shops so plenty of things to buy if you want to. The area is OK and feels safe enough. The turtle bridge is worth a visit too. The beach area is nice being private to the hotel with drinks service and a beach bar too. You can help yourself too to cold drinks from a fridge. We did the Spa for the steam and sauna and this facility is very clean and worth a look. So all in all there is very little to fault here. Double beds would be good and better food choice. The clients are mostly German too so language can be a little barrier at times with c80% German. The clientele is also mostly 50+ and the entertainment is very average. On the Turkish night it hurt our ears and was too loud and intolerable. We’d visit again though. Weather cloudless throughout and overall pretty good value.
