Avena Resort & Spa Hotel

Just got back from a week stay - solo trip Pros: Clean- housekeeping/maintenance do a wonderful job to keep hotel (communal & bedrooms clean & tidy) Food - always find something to eat, does get a little repetitive at times but find me an all inclusive that doesn’t! Salads were my fav Entertainment team- very active, friendly, evening shows were enjoyable Cons: Dessert - bland, no descriptions Ice cream- daily 4pm-5pm: this definitely needs to be expanded Iron- seriously! Do not come with creased clothes ive never been to a hotel where there is not an iron in a room or one you could borrow. Only option was paid laundry service……. Private beach- only soft drinks available, had to pay extra for alcohol (even with all inclusive) Overall decent stay, use of Spa & additional treatments were great. Good location - plenty shops/restaurants around. Private Beach within 5min walk

A few of me and my friends (in our 20s) did not know what to expect from this location and holiday. I personally had never experienced an all-inclusive before, or been to turkey. However, the avena hotel itself is in a fantastic location, near lots of shops, bars (with amazing food) and cafes and the beach. Within the hotel, the cleanliness was fantastic: room service every day, staff constantly visible, and they were all lovely!! We booked excursions through the hotel too which assured us that our safety was cared for. On the first night, the entertainment team took us to a club - transfer from the hotel there and back. What I especially appreciated as a young woman was that they stayed with us the whole time. As a group of young women in a foreign country we felt incredibly safe. Apart of this team was Lorena, who would sit with us and greet us every day and have a conversation with us too. She was absolutely incredible !! But all the staff within the hotel were absolutely amazing. We loved this holiday so much. We would definitely come again.

Food was unbelievable! The entertainment team were great and had something for everyone to enjoy. Staff were all lovely and welcoming, would really recommend staying here! Thank you to Rocky, Pikachu and Lorena for making our stay extra special.

We spent a week all inclusive at this hotel, paid £600 per person including flights so really wasn’t expecting much from the hotel. However we were pleasantly surprised, really couldn’t fault it for the price we paid. The hotel was very clean, staff constantly going around cleaning tables in restaurant and around the pool, room was also cleaned every day with fresh towels and water was left in room daily. The pool area is lovely and pool clean, there is always sunbeds available, we spent most of our time on the beach, the beach is a short walk away and the beach bar is great, the snack bar at the beach was so handy and again there was constantly staff going around cleaning tables etc. The food was average, what you would expect from all inclusive. The breakfast and lunch was good, dinner was limited for choice but there was always something we liked. We did end up eating out the last few nights as we enjoyed it more, but we definitely could have ate in the hotel. The pool / lobby bar is great, lots of cocktails included with all inclusive and you can pay extra for imported spirits. The spa at the hotel was amazing, would recommend everyone to go!! We went for 2 hour treatment which included sauna, steam room, Turkish bath, 45 minutes massage and facial / face mask then champagne and fruit afterwards, this was only €35. Would recommend this on the first day of your holiday, we went towards the end and wished we had gone sooner. Overall really can’t fault this hotel, would recommend and would return again.
