Acanthus Cennet Barut Collection - Ultra All Inclusive

“We are currently enjoying the last day of our week's stay and, overall, this is a beautiful hotel. The layout is excellent, the grounds are immaculate, the food is outstanding with plenty of variety, and most of the staff were genuinely friendly and helpful. One disappointment with the facilities was the à la carte restaurants. Although they're advertised as being available for unlimited visits, we only managed to visit each of the three restaurants once during our seven-night stay because they were fully booked on the other evenings. The booking system is restricted to set times and only three days out, and cannot be used if you have more than one room. The biggest issue, however, was the sunbed situation, and it's the reason we probably wouldn't return. Unless you're up before 7am, getting sunbeds together is difficult because so many are "reserved" long before they're used. What made this particularly frustrating was repeatedly seeing a member of staff, Ali, placing towels on beds for certain guests hours before they arrived. On three consecutive days, we even saw two beds reserved for the same solo guest so she could move between sun and shade, while families struggled to find seats together. This appeared to contradict the hotel's stated policy of not allowing sunbed reservations. It's such a shame because this is otherwise a fantastic hotel. If management could improve the restaurant booking system and ensure the sunbed policy is applied fairly to everyone, it would be an easy five-star review.”

“There are great hotels, and then there are truly exceptional ones. This is undoubtedly one of the finest hotels we have ever had the pleasure of staying in. My husband and I both work in luxury hospitality, so we naturally notice the details—and from arrival to departure, everything was seamless. The food was one of the biggest surprises. For a resort of this size with an all-inclusive concept and so much variety, the quality was exceptional. As my husband is a Michelin-starred chef, we don't say that lightly. The warmth, professionalism, and genuine care shown by every member of the team were outstanding. A special thank you to Mustafa (our waiter at Roka), Emrah (our waiter at Safran), Ceylan and her male colleague whose name has slipped my mind - this duo was a highlight during our breakfasts on the outdoor area, Fatima (waitress at Maison Plage) and Fatma (? no name tag so I might mispelled her name - she was from HSK on the 1st floor), who each went above and beyond and are truly hospitality stars workers. Our only suggestion would be to introduce a shared tipping pool or another way to recognize the entire team. While we were fortunate to thank many front-of-house staff personally, we also want to acknowledge the incredible work of housekeeping, maintenance, gardeners, the beach security team... They all played a part in making our stay unforgettable. Thank you to the entire team for an amazing holiday. We have been fortunate to experience many outstanding hotels through both our work and our travels, and this hotel truly stands among the very best. We cannot wait to return.”

The Turkish dishes were absolutely delicious, with plenty of variety and authentic flavors. Everything tasted fresh and was prepared with care.The desserts were also excellent, offering a wide selection and great taste. We found ourselves looking forward to every meal.

Thank you to everyone who helped make our stay so enjoyable.”

“Wonderful Experience at the Kids’ Mini Club We would like to say a huge thank you to Guljan and Monica, who made our daughter’s holiday even more special! They are both incredibly kind, friendly, cheerful, and caring. Our daughter absolutely loved going to the Mini Club every day and never wanted to leave! Guljan and Monica kept the children happily engaged with different activities every day — they made beautiful crafts, drew pictures, played games, and created a warm and fun atmosphere for everyone. It was wonderful to see how much our daughter enjoyed spending time there and how excited she was to come back each day. Their energy, creativity, patience, and genuine care for the children really stood out. Thank you, Guljan and Monica, for all your hard work and for giving our daughter such happy memories from our holiday. You are both amazing, and the Mini Club is very lucky to have you! ❤️”

“I felt like in paradise here. The food and drinks were amazing. The service is top notch! The wellness program is also amazing. Yoga with Derya on the grass by the ocean is a wonderful class to take, as well as her aqua gym class! Nice way to stay fit during the vacation. The animation and entertainment team is also wonderful. Different shows, musicians and DJs offer a great variety of entertainment!”
