What guests say
Reviews from Google“We recently came back from a fabulous holiday in Turkey. We stayed at Arum Barut for 9 nights with our three children. Firstly, the food was absolutely incredible, such a wide selection in the main buffet and good quality food. The à la carte restaurants were fabulous - book your reservation as soon as you arrive as the à la carte restaurants become fully booked fast. The service by their staff is 10/10, the hotel reception staff, the cleaners, the waiters and bar staff all around the hotel go above and beyond to look after their guests, they are all so friendly and so helpful. The swimming pool area is perfect, and ideal for all ages from toddlers in their baby pool to water slides for older children and a quiet pool area for adults. The pool area is so enjoyable. They have a swim up bar and make such an effort with different themes for particular days. My children loved their foam pool parties with giant inflatable shells. The DJ at the pool and dancers in the day were amazing. Brilliant facilities especially the gym and Spa areas. A shop in their hotel was useful too so there was no need to leave the hotel. We had the family room 2037, which had the most amazing view of the pool and the sea. The rooms were perfect sized and cleaned to such a high standard. Good WiFi and brilliant air con. Our most favourite highlight of our holiday was the patisserie. We enjoyed chilling there once a day in the late afternoon and enjoyed Turkish tea and cakes. Absolutely stunning area to relax before getting ready for the evening. The evening entertain were good on some nights, our favourite were the skater/bike show and the Maleficent show. The evening entertainment could have been improved on the other days with more variety, the other days seemed to be the usual dance type shows which is nice to watch once or twice but there needed to be better quality entertainment with some variety. The beach is walking distance but I would advise walking 5 minutes towards the other Barut collection hotel (to the left) as the beach there is much more sandy. Lots of empty sunbeds and great if you want to spend a few hours at the beach. I would also recommend visiting Land of the Legends which is about 50 minutes drive away. The taxi costs around 55 euros each way but it’s worth it. It’s a brilliant day out with loads of rides and a splash pool. Overall, we had a wonderful holiday and so happy we chose this stunning hotel. We would definitely recommend this hotel if you’re looking for a nice quality family holiday with amazing food and a great pool area.”
“Absolutely amazing stay as a family with 2 children. Service and food was remarkable. I also used the hammam and spa and it was a very relaxing and positive experience. Only downside are the big rocks at the sea entrance which made it impossible for the kids to enter the sea and the sunbeds being all full by 11am unless you put your towels on them earlier. Other than that everything was faultless. We will definitely be visiting Barut hotels again.”
“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A wonderful hotel that makes you want to come back! We stayed at Arum Barut Collection as a family and were extremely happy with our experience. This is one of those hotels where you can truly feel the care and attention to guests in every little detail. The hotel grounds are beautiful, green, and very well maintained, and everything is exceptionally clean. The rooms are comfortable and cleaned to a very high standard. The sea and the beach are wonderful, and everything is very well organized. A special mention must go to the food — there is a great variety, and everything is fresh, delicious, and of excellent quality. The restaurants and bars are also of a very high standard. But what impressed us most was the staff. Everyone is incredibly friendly, attentive, and welcoming. Any request is handled quickly, and you genuinely feel that guests are valued and cared for here. We travelled with our children, so feeling comfortable and relaxed was especially important to us. Arum Barut Collection fully exceeded our expectations. A huge thank you to the entire hotel team for a wonderful holiday and so many lovely memories. ❤️ Definitely 10/10! We would be very happy to return and highly recommend this hotel to families with children and to anyone who appreciates excellent service, quality, and comfort.”
“We stayed at Arum Barut for one week in late May this year, and we had a truly wonderful experience. We would like to thank Room Manager Emre Erdem, who gave us a warm introduction to the hotel and personally showed us our room. From the very first moment we stepped inside Arum Barut, he made us feel genuinely welcome and at home. His hospitality set the tone for a fantastic vacation. A very special thank you to Meltem İleri from Guest Relations. She was incredibly kind, patient, and professional, always taking the time to help us with every request. We truly appreciated her warmth, attentiveness, and genuine care throughout our stay. Another heartfelt thank you goes to Irina from Guest Relations. Every day she greeted us with such kindness, warmth, and positive energy. She always made sure everything was perfect and that we were enjoying our stay. Her caring attitude made our holiday even more special. And finally, a big thank you to Ömer Çelik from the Pool Bar (I hope I read his name badge correctly!). He was truly the highlight of every visit to the bar. Whether I stopped by for a latte or a small bowl of nuts, he always welcomed me with a genuine smile, brightened my day, and somehow made every little coffee break feel special. It's people like Ömer who transform excellent service into heartfelt hospitality and leave guests looking forward to returning. Thank you to the entire Arum Barut team for making our stay so memorable. We left with wonderful memories and sincerely hope to return again in the future.”
“We stayed in a family suite (room 2060) and it was super spacious, our little one loved running around. The hotel staff are really friendly and helpful, and everything was spotless. The only downside is the sea, it was a bit rocky, no problem for adults or older kids but we were there with a 17-month old so it was harder to go in through the pier. There are plenty of pool areas and slides so it wasn't really an issue for us in the end. Special thanks to Derya who welcomed us on the first day and gave us a nice goodbye. I cannot count everyone's name here sorry but thank you to all staff members for making our holiday so special.”
