Residence 222 Hisarönü

Good staff, easy walk into town

New property in good condition, lovely bar area and pools, albeit pools were pretty cold. Staff were excellent, very hospitable, helpful, professional and friendly. Apartment was great would only say more shelf/wardrobe space would have been useful

As we walked through the entrance, the WOW! factor was in full effect. In a resort like Oludeniz and Hisaronu, this was by far the classiest joint around. Upon closer inspection, and a few days of orientation, it does have its issues, though. The largest problem we had was the smell emanating from the bathroom drains; it was disgusting. We did discuss with the management and was told that the drain in the shower cubicle was broken and that it would be replaced the next day. It never got replaced. We mentioned it 3 times in total, but nothing was done about it. In fact, we were told that drainage in Hisaronu was actually quite poor. So the bathroom door was kept closed at all times, the extractor fan was on constantly and we Febreezed the bathroom to death, which didn't help either. Secondly, having a private pool was lush, however, there was obviously something wrong with the pool pumping system. Pipework for the pool ran through the walls and for more than half the nights we stayed you could hear water noises quite loudly in the room. The noises were loud enough to keep me awake at night, or even wake me up during the night. This really was infuriating and I didn't get to relax properly for all the holiday. Thirdly, cleaning staff and kitchen staff were quite noisy each morning. Lastly, no real atmosphere. There is more but I have space to write it all.

Stayed here a few times now location is perfect the staff go above and beyond. Swim up rooms are lovely, we have stayed in a few rooms and they are all to high standards. Look forward to next year's stay.

We arrived earlier than when check in was available. However this wasn’t a problem we were able to use the pool and beds. When our room was ready we were taken round and to our surprise we were put in block C duplex suite (I booked a double room). The room was upstairs downstairs, with an under counter fridge. Plenty cupboards upstairs and 2 balcony’s. There isn’t a lot of sun beds however never an issue getting one as a lot of guests go out or to the beach. They provide a free shuttle bus at 10am down to beach 222 which is free entry and use of beds and umbrella as a guest of resident 222, shuttle picks you back up at 4. The grounds are stunning and very clean. Location is right at the bottom of the strip which is perfect. This hotel is primarily Turkish guests but there were a few English. Breakfast is ok and can get omelettes, fruit, toast, coffee, juice and water which was perfect for us. The only issue was they didn’t have an alcohol license which we weren’t aware of before we came. So we couldn’t get cocktails or a beer at the bar which was a shame. We just bought stuff at the shop and went up to our room for a break from the sun in the afternoon and had a drink on the balcony so not a huge issue just disappointing. However overall we enjoyed our stay and would absolutely return in the future. Highly recommend a duplex suite or a swim up duplex.
