Cook's Club Adakoy

I recently visited Cook’s Club Adakoy and had an amazing experience. The hammam and spa were excellent, and the whole place has such a peaceful, calm, and zen atmosphere. A special thank you to Ekrem B. for being incredibly welcoming and hospitable, and to Kadeh for giving a really great massage. The sauna was very clean, and everything felt well-maintained and hygienic. The staff were friendly, the atmosphere was relaxing, and I truly enjoyed my time here. I will definitely come back!

- The all inclusive was not all inclusive - major let down was that there was no cocktails included & no activities included (unless you went with Neilson’s I think). - Flies are constant in the day & night, they really put a damper on your mood. - Very secluded area - it took 2 hours on a very horrible road to get there but the hotel itself is lovely. - The ‘80/90s night’ is really just a playlist on in the background. It is a very very chill night. - There is no ice cream included in the all inclusive. - There is only one bar to order drinks from and you have to go up to get your drinks pre food. - If you want to go to Marmaris via water taxi it’s 12 euro’s per trip per person. - There is better music at the pool at 4pm than at night. There is no atmosphere at night whatsoever. - Rooms are nice and clean however there is no window and really bad lighting. - If you want to order off the all day menu it is quite expensive but the all inclusive food is the nicest all inclusive food we have had in a resort. - Sadly our last night was ruined by marina staff. While my partner was ordering food & drinks, two men made inappropriate comments and gestures towards me, which I found intimidating. When I reported it at the time, hotel staff said they couldn’t help because the marina staff didn’t speak English, despite me later hearing them speak some English with other guests. It felt as though they were avoiding dealing with the issue at the time. Reception later apologised and said they would speak to the marina staff involved. Overall a very relaxing holiday but just too chill for us.

A real piece of paradise! Cooks Club Adakoy is approximately 25mins via taxi (£25) and 20 minutes via water taxi (12 euro) from Marmaris. The hotel is in its very own secluded area not in walking distance from any other amenities. The hotel is definitely of a five-star standard with a stunning boutique boho aesthetic. Unlike many other hotels in Marmaris and it's surrounding areas this hotel and it's clientele is very chilled and peaceful with no poolside entertainment other than a DJ playing music at a reasonable volume from around 4pm each day. Which in my opinion is a refreshing experience for Turkey. Cooks club is surrounded by the most beautiful of scenery and nature and one of the most beautiful lush green destinations I've ever visited. The beach itself doesn't have sand but large pebbles, there's always sunbeds available around the pool or on the private beach. The food and ingredients used are of a high standard but I definitely wouldn't say it's your typical all inclusive. I'd label it more Full board plus. As food is only available within your all inclusive package during the set meal times. All meals are made to order and 90% of the meals would be pasta or rice based (which I personally found hard as I dislike both), the woodfire pizzas were available at both lunch and dinner time and their flavours were delicious. A selection of deserts are available to choose from behind a glass screen to be given to you by a member of staff also. Ice-cream is never available within the all inclusive package not even to compliment any deserts. These are only available via the ice-cream stand for 6euro per scoop (more expensive than the airport prices). The draft beer available on all inclusive is Efes which my partner enjoyed alongside Gordon's gin & Tonic. Local wines and spirits are also available within the all inclusive package but if you wish to have a Cocktail or Cocktail during your stay these are chargeable with cocktails priced around 16euros. The neilson activities are available to all guests with a surcharge for non neilson guest. We did choose to take part in 2 experiences and these where worth every penny and very reasonably priced. The spa was wonderful myself and my partner had a Turkish bath and 2 massages each and enjoyed every moment of them. The staff were always beyond helpful and polite. They were always happy to help where possible (for example we requested more hangers and extra pillows for our room and they were delivered to our room within 30mins). The bar staff really stood out with their happy and friendly personas especially Freya who always made time to say hello to us, greet us with a smile and genuinely hold a discussion with us whilst she served us. Her authenticity was refreshing and didn't go unnoticed. She's a real credit to your team. So even though I feel like this hotel is advertised misleadingly as an all inclusive would I still return? 100% yes! The hotel, it's staff, the atmosphere and the scenery that surrounds the hotel was beyond perfect and I honestly believe this hotel is one of turkeys hidden treasures. We can't wait to return

I traveled with my 2 friends (all female) and we are in our mid 40's I have very mixed feelings about this resort. I will start with the positives: Great location-very relaxed, Comfy sunbeds, lovely clear waters, access to the spa and activities. Now onto the not so great: Myself and my group felt there was a clear distinction made between those that booked through Nilsens and those that booked through other avenues such as on the beach. Treatment by staff of those of us with non black wristbands was quite apparent. I am presuming that the Nilsens guests have paid far more than the on the beach guests so are treated with my higher regard. Rooms- probably the worst room i have stayed in. Booked a room for 3 people. On entering it felt like a cell. No window- apart from the window in the door, walls painted brown and really poor lighting. Tiny rail to hang clothes and no drawers at all. Maintenance- During our four day stay we had to approach reception on three occasions as the room door would not open, despite us saying the door was faulty they continued to send us away with a new key card. On the final time (our last day) someone came out and saw the door was faulty, this was after our room had been left open by the cleaning team (due to the faulty door). The single pendant light fell out of the ceiling and then started flickering- we had to call out maintenance at 23:00 to which they stopped the flickering but left the pendant hanging from the ceiling. Food- very expensive for what it was. The system for ordering and collecting feels like a slightly posher buffet. We also found a white large piece of tissue in the salad- when we approached the staff they just handed us another one, we then had to go to reception to ensure the cost of the salad had been taken off our bill. Evening- Now we are all in our late 40's so definately didn't want a big party BUT there is no atmosphere in the evenings at all. When we checked out we were not asked how our stay was at all

Where to even start with this hotel? We have just checked out after 10 nights of absolute bliss. From start to finish, the staff at Cooks Club Adakoy went above and beyond to make this birthday trip special. When we had an issue with our room, Ediz went above and beyond to sort it for us and ensured we were happy. What I will say is if you are an overpacker like me, prepare that the rooms don’t have wardrobes or drawers that do make unpacking very difficult. After the room situation was sorted, everything on our trip was absolute perfection. The hotel is stunning, laid in the most beautiful grounds with things for everyone to do, including Padel, Pilates, Sound Baths and various water sports. A big shout out to Nicki for the amazing Pilates and Sound Baths that I loved to take part in. On top of this, the most incredible food i’ve had at a resort. All food is made fresh to order and you receive a buzzer to alert you when it’s ready, ensuring that everything is fresh and hot. I had 2 lymphatic drainage massages during my stay, the spa team are incredible and a special mention to the lovely lady who did both my massages (i’m so sorry I didn’t catch her name), the spa manager is also very welcoming and lovely. Finally, a huge shout out to the bar staff and waiting team who work tirelessly to ensure your stay is as simple as possible. I couldn’t possibly leave a review without saying just how much Fatih in particular made our stay special. He organised a birthday surprise at the restaurant for me on my birthday night, while also going above and beyond every meal time to ensure we were taken care of and attended to. This is an absolute must stay if you are thinking of booking, absolutely do! There is something for everyone❤️ thank you again to everyone who made this such a successful trip.
