Pirates Park Resort

The best thing here is the setting: a pine forest, apparently the only one in town, and the sea a five-minute walk away, good cardio. The town isn’t far, and you can take a tuk-tuk taxi, but it’s mostly cheap shops and not much else. We went on mountain trips, rented a car and visited Goynuk and Kemer, where there’s plenty to see and do. Enjoy the nature and swim in the sea rather than expecting to lounge in a luxury hotel. This delivers what you’d expect from a decent three-star, so don’t look for five-star service. Food was decent and plentiful, drinks much like anywhere else, everything clean and in good shape, and the pool big enough for everyone. The grounds are tiny, though, and entertainment is basically nonexistent. The drunken mothers singing karaoke every night until 11 pm were unbelievable. Luckily, you can slip into the neighboring big hotels to dance or watch their good shows. There are options. Stay positive and enjoy your holiday.

The natural surroundings and location are wonderful, and the beach and pool were superb. We checked out yesterday morning, and I’d like to thank all the staff for their dedication. Our spacious room was clean, and the food was plentiful, delicious and varied, with olive oil dishes, meat and all sorts of options. Breakfast was good quality too. The pita was fantastic, with lots of ice cream, afternoon tea and cakes as well. I don’t know what people who leave negative reviews expect, maybe 250,000 lira worth of service for 25,000 lira? We were very pleased and hope to see you next year. Thank you, Pirate's!

We wanted scenery and peace, and have loved Tekirova for a long time, so we chose this place deliberately. We’ve been to Turkey every year and have plenty to compare it with. For four people, two adults and children aged 4 and 7, ten full days in July 2025 cost only 226,000 rubles. The location is ideal: a leisurely five-minute walk to the village, then a scenic five-minute ride to the beach. The hotel is surrounded by greenery, with gorgeous azure sea nearby, and there were always free loungers. Our renovated room was fresh and clean, with daily housekeeping. The kids enjoyed the limited activities, making bracelets and beads, doing puzzles and playing with play dough. Adults get little entertainment apart from karaoke, and the slides ran twice a day on a schedule. The main downside was food. It was decent for the first few days, including grilled meat and fish, but got worse as more people arrived, leaving mostly chicken and prepared foods. We could always find something to eat among the plentiful vegetables, herbs, cheeses and sides. Ice cream had different flavors each day, the pizza was delicious, the red wine decent, and the bartender made a great alcoholic mojito. This isn’t a place for discerning guests, and there’s nothing fancy, but Tekirova is among the coast’s most expensive destinations. For nature and sea, it’s ideal value for this location. We knew what to expect and were satisfied, so the negative reviews seem strange to us.

We’re at the hotel now, August 10-15, and this is current information, so anyone considering it should read on. The place is a jumble of problems and there’s nobody in charge to report them to. Reception was completely empty, the first time I’ve ever seen that. I might have said you get what you pay for, but it’s well below even that. The hotel is filthy and stuffy, the staff are grumpy, and there seem to be only about five workers in total. When you ask for something, they act as if they’re about to swear at you. There’s no air conditioning or ventilation, so the whole place is boiling. The corridors and floor elevators aren’t ventilated either and smell of sweat. Rooms aren’t cleaned. The pool is tiny and crowded. Don’t be taken in by the greenery in the pictures, it’s a little garden that gets dark in the evening. Other hotels have beach snack bars, but this hotel’s section only has a water dispenser with lukewarm water. Food is a disaster, tasteless and with very little choice. There’s no entertainment, just an hour of mini disco in the evening. If all you want is to swim in the sea, stay in a guesthouse and pay much less. The attitude seems to be, “They’ll come anyway, so why spend money?” It’s a shame, people don’t earn money easily. Misleading pictures can fool them during their one week of annual vacation. In short, DON’T COME!
