    The beach was absolutely covered in seaweed. The app didn’t work for requests and reservations. Don’t expect some great food at the a la carte restaurants. The service is fine dining level but the food is very normal and basic, not great quality, especially the fish restaurant. It was a bit of disappointment.

    The territory of the property is very nice, very well kept, nice cats, lots of chilling areas. Very calm environment, almost no kids. Service is overall very good, nice, attentive, fast stuff. Great location also for a nice walk to Side (which is a very lovely and interesting town!). Drink service at the pool and beach was very smooth. Good choice of food, the main buffet was great every day.

    High Quality All Inclusive Resort with superb private beach area
    • Leisure trip
    • Group
    • Swim Up Room
    • Stayed 6 nights

    The only anoying thing is the lack of policy for sun bed "reservation" (and the reason for not giving a full 10). The hotel should definitely forbid booking sunbeds, and should remove the towels if unatended. I saw guests booking sunbeds at the pool as early as 6:30am (I often went for a run early morning) and leaving them unatended for most of the day. There are times throughout the day that roughly 60-70% of sunbeds are unocupied and "booked". No wonder there are never sunbeds available. Please note that this is mostly true at the pool, I never had issues at the beach where there is staff taking care of allocation. IMO there should be more wine choice included. There is just 1 red and 1 white wine included and this was the only extra we sent during our stay in order to have different wines.

    Food is of very good quality both in main buffet and restaurants. Swim up room semi-private pool was really nice and big (50m+) which allowed for early and late night swims. Private Beach area is really good, sunbeds of very good quality with a lot of space between sunbeds. Drink service to the sunbed via QR code is really good. Very nice place to run with a pleasant 5km seaside route to Side and back.

    The beds were very comfortable but the duvet was too small for the bed. King size bed with a standard double duvet (it didn't hang over the edges; v small). We didn't leave the hotel because it's not in a very nice area. You don't know this/see this when you're in the hotel but rooms on the side look over quite ugly buildings/houses. Walking down the boardwalk along the beach isn't nice; ugly buildings around. If you're in the left wing facing the beach there is a VERY loud bar on the beach which we hadn't seen anything about in the reviews. We had to move rooms. The right wing was much better but you can still hear the evening entertainment until 10/10:30.

    The food was fantastic and we really enjoyed the variety of restaurants. They all had different feels as well. The pool was the highlight; the toddler pool was 40cm deep and PERFECT for our 2.5 year old. The sunbeds round the toddler pool were in the shade until 12:30pm which was great to keep little ones cool. The hotel is SPOTLESSLY clean; they work very hard. The outdoor seating areas are lovely. The bar-staff round the pool keep coming round to check if you want drinks. Maison Plage (open all day) has a huge menu of choices which changes for dinner. Beautiful views from there. Aircon is great. Ice cream/patisserie is amazing and open all day. Staff were so lovely to us. Beach sunbeds are great with double beds at the back. Food at 'Safran' is incredible. Buffet restaurant is huge and extensive. Bedrooms are lovely; we didn't see any need to upgrade because the standard room is to such a high standard.

    Zero complaints if I am honest. Will be back for sure. Wish elevator had air conditioning.

    Food was great. Super hospitable staff. Loved the pool and facility overall was clean and well maintained. The gym was adequate for what it is. Location was great and walking distance to shops etc. For cabs/taxi, dont walk up the hill, just ask front desk to call you one and save yourself the uphill walk. AC was ice cold.

    I did not like the evening entertainment: it was loud, sometimes until 23h, we really needed time to sleep and I think most people would appreciate sleeping over extremly loud music. Also, it is a 5star resort: check-in & out was not up to standard, just plain hello and goodbye.

    Wonderful resort! Just the right size: not huge, not too small. Everything in the resort is within a 5 min. Walk, perfect for relaxing to the fullest! The FOOD! OMG, the food was amazing, you would need at least 3 weeks to try everything. I cannot believe that this is the quality of food and drinks within an all-inclusive resort! THE BEACH: there are many massive resorts on this resorts beach, overcrowded with sunbeds and people. But Acanthus beach has a wonderful and big portion of beach, sunbeds that are dar away enough and the sea is never too crowded. Oh, and the music at the pool is just perfect!

    Nothing to dislike, everything was fab!

    Everything was wonderful, nothing to dislike. Best swimming pool ever! Never experienced a pool which challenged me - more than 3x the length of our local pool which is 25m. The vibe round the pool bar late afternoon with live music some days was really special. Live entertainment every evening. Great gym facilities, if you want them with really helpful staff. We treated ourselves to a side view penthouse, it was gorgeous and we loved it. A pillow menu! Towels changed twice a day. Well stocked mini bar. Really every need we had was catered for. Talking of which, I'm coeliac and on arrival customer services came out to register my food allergy which was noted with every dinner reservation. Tons of choice incl. gorgeous deserts. We loved it so much we can't wait to go back.
