Sherwood Dreams Resort

Just got back from a 10 night holiday at Sherwood Dreams we stayed from the 18th until the 28th August. On arrival check in was quick and easy and we were shown to a lovely spacious family jacuzzi room (the jacuzzi was working) we also had 2 bathrooms and the air con was working perfectly although did leak and times but kept the room lovely and cool, also more then enough storage space. We got clean towels everyday more then we actually needed and our room was cleaned daily and fridge was re-stocked. Being high season we did need to get up early of a space around the pool but we are early birds anyway so wasn't a problem for us but we did notice the people would reserve their beds but not use them all day so that's not fair but that's not the hotels fault that's just selfish people. We enjoyed the main pool. We could always find something to eat and enjoyed our meals and we also ate the turkish ala-carte and enjoyed this. Staff were always friendly and gave us a smile and we were always served drinks with our meal and did not have to wait. I loved that there were loads of fridges around filled with water and juice and the icecream was delicious 😋. We also enjoyed visiting the patisserie for a coffee and cake and was always welcomed with a smile from Zozan she makes a lovely iced cappuccino. All of the staff work very hard to make your holiday a good one your never going to stay somewhere that is perfect could little things be done around the hotel to improve it yes definitely but it didn't ruin our holiday and would we go back next year YES. Guest relations were very helpful and friendly very approachable and helped us if we needed it also no problem with being able to pay to keep our room for the day we're in other hotels this has always been a problem. The Spa was lovely we had 2 Turkish baths they were very nice and staff were very nice would definitely recommend. I also went to the salon and had a Brazilian keratin blow dry again would definitely recommend. A big thank you to all the staff that made our holiday a good one.

This is our second visit to this otel and we are very pleased. Everything is wonderful. The service is super. The staff is very kind. Guest relations department is very helpful.

We came as a group of 16 and, unfortunately, 4 of us were really unwell with a stomach bug. These things do happen and I wouldn’t necessarily blame the hotel for that. But after days stuck in bed in a hot climate, we asked for fresh bedding each day. Instead, we got told off because apparently they only change sheets every three days. I don’t think it’s unreasonable to expect clean sheets if you’ve been ill especially when you’re paying per night. The food is fine, but nowhere near the standard we’ve had at other hotels in Turkey. Lots of pasta, chips and cheaper cuts of meat. The baklava in the patisserie is lovely, but most of the cakes in there are the synthetic, long-life type. Pizzas in Italian and bolognese at the snack bar are good lunch options. The slides are good with different sections for different age groups baby - younger - older/adults. Our kids loved them but they need more rubber rings as there aren’t enough to go round. Sunbeds are crammed in together and the towels are paper-thin. Entertainment was pretty underwhelming, more like a school talent show than a hotel production. The beach is sandy until you get into the water, where it turns to pebbles, and it’s been choppy most afternoons. We did a speedboat trip which cost nearly £100 a head & not even a bottle of water offered for a three-hour trip which felt pretty poor. On the plus side, there are drinks fridges and bars with no queues, though that may be because so many guests were also unwell and steering clear of alcohol! Overall, it’s not terrible – the kids had fun – but if you’re expecting 5★ Turkish luxury, this is a long way off. More like a 3★ hotel.

Just returned from a 2 week holiday with family and friends. I will say from the offset that we had a great time and made the most of the holiday with the company we had. However, I do feel the hotel was of a poor standard and definitely not a 5*, 3 at best!! Positives - - Lads on rollerblades, grafters, never stop, tips go a long way as the taller lad does a mean Strawberry Daquiri - Air con in room, ours worked perfect, in fact had a switch off occasionally - Minibar fridge always stocked - Wave Bar - nice relaxing vibe to enjoy a post sunbed drink - Arcade was great for the kids in our party and who runs it is a really nice guy - Pizza restaurant - very good choice and tasty pizzas. Outdoor decking area to look out onto the beach which made it even better - Beach - nice to spend a few hours away from the hotel area and chill and have a dip in the sea. Sea water is lovely and warm - Gozleme - really tasty with a good choice of fillings, cinnamon sugar, chocolate, cheese, meat. Just make sure you get to the front of the queue a good 20 mins before she closes at 4pm as we experienced a couple of times the lady saying she was closed with 15-20 mins still to go Negatives - - General cleanliness and maintenance. The main pool is dirty, constantly walking on tiny stones and pebbles and loose tiles and grout. Murky water and Splashpool water was green a few times with seemingly no rationale explanation as to why - Room - was ok, quite dated so could do with a modernisation and drainage constantly smelled of egg which wasn't nice when showering or brushing teeth - Food was ok, but choice was very limited. The queues for the meat station and pasta buffet are ridiculous seeing as its a 5* hotel. The meat, once served, runs out within a few minutes, hence the queues waiting for more. Fresh meat (beef/roast chicken/turkey) are served in the buffet area which is great, however the portions you are handed aren't, a tiny amount which again leads to queuing for more - Turkish a la carte - ate there twice and whilst the atmosphere and food were nice, 4 out of our party of 6 woke up the morning after with severe diarrhea and stomach cramps. The only 2 who got lucky were the kids who had chicken nuggets and chips - Late night 'snack bar' - heads up, this isn't a snack bar, it is a sit down meal ordered from an a la carte menu. The Spag Bol was delicious granted, but if I'm arriving late from a long flight for example, I'm wanting a sandwich or slice of pizza or chips, not a sit down meal - Bar Staff - throughout the hotel there is an apparent language barrier, which is to be expected but what it does lead to is wrong drinks being served. Cocktails in particular, none that we were served throughout our stay were ever correct - Wave Bar toilets - always flooded, imagine tiptoeing through that with flip flops, not nice - Mosquito's and ants - I can't attribute these to the hotel in particular, its just a heads up as we were bit constantly in our first few days, and the Wave Bar is swarming with ants. Come prepared basically I appreciate people have different standards of what they expect from a hotel but I'm sure when you pay 1000's for a 5* experience, there is a minimum expectation which unfortunately this hotel fell way short of Thanks

Lovely family stay at this hotel. The staff make such an effort to keep us clean. Great kids club and plenty of activities to keep the adults entertained. High quality and good variety of food. Plenty of different places to grab a snack. Best ice cream and choices of flavours.
