AQI Hydros Club

The staff were caring and quick to help when I broke my ankle, which is when it really mattered. Before that, check-in was a mess: they lost my passport and asked me to search my bags, even though they had handed it to another guest whose group arrived just after us. We were tired and hungry after a full day of travel. They offered to take us and our bags to the room, but said we’d have to wait 15-20 minutes at reception, which is a covered outdoor area. The main building was some distance away. We paid extra for an allegedly upgraded room in the “main building,” but it was no upgrade. The balcony looked onto the neighboring hotel’s kitchen and staff area, with the view and noise that came with it. There was no pool view, and only a glimpse of sea far away if I leaned out. I wouldn’t call it a sea view. The beds weren’t made every day, and some days I’m not sure anyone came in. They removed the bedspreads, which we called top tea towels, screwed them up, and stuffed them in a cupboard. I only found them while looking for something. The thin sheet on the bed meant we didn’t need air conditioning. The all inclusive drinks menu was limited, and the cocktails weren’t good. They didn’t have many classics, such as a piña colada. The evening entertainment was usually very good quality. Food could have been excellent, but it was served cold or lukewarm. There was no drink table service in the restaurant, something I’d expect at a four or five star place. This definitely isn’t five star. Go expecting three star and it might seem reasonably good. There were no non-smoking areas and no indoor bar. Most of the evening seating was among smokers. I think the hotel mainly caters to Russian guests.

The pools were nice and the water temperature was good. The food tasted delicious, though I would have liked more variety. Staff were friendly and tried to sort out the problems we raised. It was my first time in Turkey, and I liked it so far, but I’m used to better. The hotel is old and needs some renewal, and there were issues in the rooms. At first, ours was right beside another hotel and had a poor view. We were moved to a room with garden and mountain views. It hadn’t been cleaned properly, though, so that needs improvement. Staying there was a good experience overall.

Hydros 💚🧡💛 I was there after September 20th, and the weather was wonderful, 34 degrees. My family was very happy, and we’ll come back. For me, it’s a great hotel because I don’t like big behemoths. Hydros has a lovely atmosphere and a beautiful garden with exotic fruits and such great views. The mountains and sea are both close by. Thanks to the chefs for the delicious food and to the fantastic entertainers. And thank you Pedro for the aqua dance medal, I like staying active. Best regards, Evelin Poland

The night shows were really cool and amazing, and we also found an unexpected activity we loved: the archery class. Yassine, the coach, was patient and calm, and explained things clearly. Over those days, he got us to fall in love with archery. Once we got home, we decided to join a local archery club. Most of the staff were very nice, especially the cleaning and entertainment teams. We really enjoyed our stay. We already knew from other comments that the rooms need some renovation.
