L'ancora Beach Hotel

Arrived 2300, booked comfort room and was initally given small room. Went to complain and had to use google translate, the staff barely spoke or understood english and this continued throughout the week. When we got the right room, it was a good size but was basic. Patio doors but not a walk out balcony. It was directly on the back so had the entertainment blairing each night. The rooms are NOT soundproof! We could even hear people dining! The bed wasnt comfortable as it was too firm, the pillows were huge and only a tiny bed cover which didnt even fit the width of the bed. The pool is basically inside and the resturant seating surrounds it, so its more like decoration rather then for use as theres only 2 loungers. It doesnt get any sun. The beach bar is extra. The normal bar is okay. The food was repetative and not to the standard people have made out. By the time you get back to your table, if it was warm, its cold. You have to play towel wars before 7am to get a decent beach lounger as most are under cover and the hotel doesnt get any sun after 1500 unless its the front row! The spa... well that saves this hotel and was fab. It's the only part we enjoyed, we had 5 massages each and a hamman, always recieved great care and service. The location of hotel is central and next to marina. Entertainment each night which is loud but it did stop most nights at 2300. The bar is then paid for after that time so the noise reduces alot. The hotel isnt bad, just very average.

Check n was so slow took over 20 minutes! Receptionist not doing there job! Very Rude Reception and check out!!

" " The hotel was great. The Turkish stuff was very friendly and welcoming, the Russian speaking ones not so much. The food was great! The best pahlava I've ever tried! The territory around the hotel is beautiful! "-" When we arrived to the hotel, we was placed in a smallest room possible, where the door lock got broken within 10 minutes of our being in the room. There was only 1 bed, we had to ask for another one. I booked "Comfort" room with a balcony and 1 full size and 1 single beds. Next day they moved us to a "Comfort" room, but room had 2 single beds. I was traveling to Turkey to see my mom, whom I have not seen for over 10 years, so I was not in a mood for any kind of fight, so we made it work. But this "welcome" totally destroyed our first day together. Then there was a situation with a WIFI, where nobody could help... Also, I'm a bit of a clean freak, and the fact that our room floor never got a wet cleaning (even though room service was daily) kind of freaks me out a bit (we stayed for 11 nights). I would say, it is a great place to stay, but the customer service and cleaning could totally be better!!!

The staff and vibe of the hotel is lovely, can't complain there. But if you are looking for a good night sleep here forget it! omg the hotel structure is a spiral with the fiesta based outside right in the middle. The DJ plays all night from 8pm until midnight/1am. Blasts the music all the way up! So the whole hotel can hear! If you're someone who wants an early, peaceful sleep do not book here. You can hear the party music from level 1 - to level 4. Your doors closed, windows closed... it doesn't matter. Luckily for me, I conk out easily regardless of noise if I'm really tired, or staying up late it didn't bother me after the first night... I got used to it. But the first night was a shock for me. I asked staff if it was like this every night and they said yes! Other than that the hotel is lovely and the staff are really great. I went solo and enjoyed myself there. The all inclusive drinks do not include cocktails by the way, just alcohol with chasers. The room is really basic which disappointment me because looked more big and vibrant in the pics but it did the job. The hotel beach is a pebble beach, but if you want a nice clean sand beach, go to Moon Beach which is a simple walk away. You have to pay for entry, (Unless you're hot girl like me, then its free lol!) Overall I had a good time and made good memories. Just wouldn't stay here because of the late hotel party vibe, I like to sleep in silence! Thanks for a lovely time L'ancora regardless!

Hotels was beautifull. Mr. Akay very much helped us. I like this place pretty much.
