Barut Sunwing Side Beach

We had a wonderful stay at this hotel and couldn’t have asked for a better experience. From the moment we arrived, the staff made us feel genuinely welcome and were always friendly, professional, and happy to help. A huge thank you to the entertainment team for making our holiday so enjoyable! Their energy, enthusiasm, and friendliness were outstanding from the very first day. They worked incredibly hard to ensure there was something for everyone, whether it was fun daytime activities, aqua gym by the pool, or fantastic evening shows. They created such a welcoming atmosphere and encouraged everyone to join in, special thanks to Anel, you were definitely an angel. It was clear how much effort and passion they put into making every guest feel included and entertained. We will surely visit again.

Overall a good hotel, we visited with family as a group of 10 and all of us enjoyed our stay. Positives: - Clean, spacious rooms - plenty of space for a family of 4. We were on the 'quiet' side and enjoyed the more relaxed vibe at this side of the hotel and had no issues at all getting sunbeds whatever the time of day for a group of us. - Food was of a great quality and especially liked the use of the ala carte restaurants and staff in the restaurants were great. You book via What's App on the day. - Kids and adults all enjoyed the pools and water slides and the foam party in the pool on Friday afternoon was fun. - Shuttle bus to the beach was regular and liked you could order lunch from a menu down at the beach. - Drinks were good quality and branded drinks in most cases. - Staff are a definite positive at this hotel, everyone we encountered was friendly and provided good service. Special shout out to the ladies we saw each morning at breakfast and then again at lunch who were happy to have a chat with us and engage with the children - made a lovely start to the day. Merve, Emine, Esra and the others who I didn't note names but you were all great. - A member of our group needed medical help whilst on holiday and the doctor and nurse who visited the hotel were very good (not that you hope to need that service whilst on holiday but good to know just in case) Areas to improve: - Daytime activities. Our son whose 9 generally loves taking part in all the activities in the day time, unfortunately we felt it a little disappointing in this area. We headed to the beach to do Boccia at 10.45 as advertised, we got there and it had just finished and the lady said it started at 10.30?? Why advertise 10.45am then. Another day turned up for beach volleyball, again no one there - when we did finally see someone said it wasn't on as the sand was too hot. Football, first day only 2 children turned up which is then difficult to play football (which isn't the hotels fault) but then another day about 10 kids were waiting at the football pitch at the allocated time and no entertainment staff showed up to run the session at all, so disappointed kids stood outside a locked football pitch. If things are not running or times are changed the app and entertainment information needs updating to let people know - had a disappointed child on a few occasions due to this. - Evening entertainment was very 'samey', a lot of dance acts, be good to vary it a bit more. Overall a good holiday, on another note I didn't realise how chaotic Antalya airport was so please factor in extra time and the traffic for the transfers!
