Batihan Vadi Hotel

First time visiting Turkey with my wife and son, I picked this hotel in the brochure because I have our own private villa with a pool and have also been a all inclusive hotel. The villa on the first view was clean.. The next morning, we woke to a terrible smell in the bathroom. we reported this directly to reception along with our concerns about our pool, which was green. we thought this was down to the tiling in the pool. we were told someone would come to sort the issue out. We reported this issue to reception for the first 3 days of our holiday, but no one came to sort this out for us. we started to report this out on the hotels WhatsApp number. Eventually, some came to sort the pool and toilet smell out on the Thursday they put around 50 litres of chlorine in the pool and told us we able to use the pool in 2 hours needless to say we didn't go in the pool once in our holiday because of it not been clean. The worst thing about the pool was we paid over £300 to have it heated for the week.Lucky we made friends with another family, and my son was able to go in there pool for most of the week. The food was not like any other all-inclusive hotel it was all like a restaurant. The menus were falling apart, stapled together, and the same menu for lunch and dinner. The staff were ok with a few of the staff not that bothered with service as it was coming to the end of the season. On Wednesday night, most of the staff had an end of the season party on site, which left them short staff around the hotel even tho they had full paying guests on site. All your meals came from the same kitchen. It didn't matter where you were eating. Food would be transferred on a tray by hand to the restaurant in any weather.Drinks were ok with the reception bar. You always had to ask for someone to come and serve you. This could take 5-15 minutes for someone to arrive. The hotel grounds were well maintained, I didn't get the theme of the hotel they had a lovely looking reception area and a lovely looking restaurant, but in between was like a old wild west part they was a terrible smell in that atea too where it had a bar,bakery and shop just didn't get it. The restaurant at night had cats coming in side one actually scratched my son we he was eating. I won't be returning to this hotel with the issues we had but the other with the management call me and my wife liars that we hadn't reported the issues with the pool and the smell in the bathroom to reception on our first few days, if you do decide to go to this hotel make sure you report everything via WhatsApp so you have proof of the issues.

We went for couple days but we will come back definitely again because everything is so nice specially villas food & drinks, entertainment and nature atmosphere with a lot of type animals.

Wow! What a truly magnificent place! We chose Batihan Vadi Hotel for our honeymoon location, we thought it was going to be too good to be true! But thankfully we were wrong! It’s such an amazing and magical place. From the moment the security gate opened we were mesmerised by the beautiful location and atmosphere. We arrived late evening(in the dark) the reception staff were friendly and arranged for us to have a shuttle to our villa, a quick show around then shuttled us to the restaurant who kindly served us a delicious soup and pizza. We walked back to our villa admiring the beautifully lit pathway and silhouette of the hills either side of the valley, along with the chorus of crickets! Waking up the following day in the beautiful premium villa(44) we couldn’t believe how lucky we were and how truly wonderful Batihan Vadi is! The villas are modern, beautifully furnished with various lighting controls, air con, electric blinds, 2 x fridges (mini bar included with all inclusive option) nespresso machine, good quality hairdryers in both bathrooms. Robes, slippers and a variety of extras. Outside is the icing on the cake! The private pool, whirl bath and garden! The pool was great(be aware it isn’t heated unless you ask and there may be a charge for this) we braved the cool water as it was refreshing in the 30 degree sun ( be aware that as it’s a valley the sun does set early and temperatures feel cooler) However The whirl bath has hot and cold taps and makes for a beautiful place to sit with your partner and just watch the stars in the night sky! The garden contains olive trees and a lovely seating area, private gates which can be locked. The housekeeping ladies were lovely and checked what we wanted every day in a kind and courteous manner. The hotel itself is truly wonderful but what makes it even more enjoyable, is the friendly and attentive staff! They were all so welcoming to us both! They knew it was our honeymoon and made us feel so special. Ozzy went out of his way to make our dining experience first class! He made us feel that nothing was too much! Introduced us to some of Turkish specialties, both in food and alcohol! Every morning the breakfast team (all amazing we just don’t know how to spell their names) welcomed us into O’garden ready for our breakfast experience (it truly was an experience!) Turkish breakfast was delicious, a multitude of culinary delights, savoury and sweet, hot and cold. Most mornings we just sat grazing through the food and realised we’d been there almost 2 hours! Evening meals in O’garden we relaxed and staff welcoming and had light hearted banter with us both. On 2 occasions we dined in radika where ozzy served us, it was a very relaxed and indulgent evening on both occasions. The food was delicious in all the restaurants including the bar rodoflo, patisserie, ice cream bar etc. The spa and gym staff are helpful, friendly, they managed to fit us in for a massage on our check out day and they were amazing! . The beach shuttle offered by the hotel, transports you to the sister hotel Batihan beach resort. All inclusive is available here also, the beach has a lot of sun loungers and areas for swimming directly in front of the sister hotel. (If you are expecting a private beach cove, this is not it!) we enjoyed ourselves and spent a day relaxing on the priority loungers and swimming in the sea. The whole environment at Batihan Vadi is relaxed, from our point of view was just perfect! We honestly had the most wonderful honeymoon and very much hope to visit again next year!
