a romantic haven

kind receptionistsprofessional staffcaring experiencemissing amenities
My stay included such beautiful moments. sona and yağız at reception were kind. Their professionalism made everything seamless. the entire staff seemed genuinely happy to help, they really added to the magic of the visit. i felt so cared for and will always remember my time there.
I noticed the hotel lacked iron and tissues directly in the room. I had to request these. it's a minor inconvenience, but having these readily available would enhance the experience. otherwise, everything else was so lovely i almost forgot about the small issue.

Okay stay. Some issues arose

system malfunctionleaking machine
The hotel didn't quite meet expectations. Upon returning one afternoon, I discovered my electronic key card didn't work. I went to the front desk. It took them a while to figure out the system malfunctioned. the in-room coffee machine was leaking. It made a mess on the desk. I felt inconvenienced by these problems.

Elite and Koray were very professional and kind. Elif at the reception was very friendly. She checked us in earlier after our night flight. The hotel was super clean. The level of cleanliness was really good everywhere. Emir, the receptionist, were very good. His kindness and attention to detail were nice..
The policy regarding possible blood stains on the sheets felt quite distasteful. I found myself feeling anxious about staining the sheets and getting charged extra.
