Gold Safran

I have been reading the reviews for this hotel and although there are allot of negative ones this is one of the best hotels i have stayed at in Turkey I and have been going to Turkey for the last 10 years. The food is good and staff very friendly. It is about a 1 and 1/2 miles from the town centre but the local bus runs every few minutes and it only costs 1 euro. Staff and managers were always approachable. I will be returning again this year

I loved this location of this hotel it is on a busy street with good restaurants and shops, not far from the beach or the centre and directly next to a taxi rank.
The food was good too - if you are looking at having english food then you will be slightly disappointed - they do try and we did have the odd day of fish, chips and pizzas but all in all the food is Turkish - not suprising as we were in Turkey. You can always get your fix of English food a few doors down where they served a Full English.
The staff were very friendly and always helpful. We did have to nag the cleaner to have our room cleaned for some reason they didn't do that without a nudge. The rooms are a good size and with 3 of us we never felt on top of each other.. balcony view was a added bonus.
The entertainment was amazing - every evening after dinner we all joined in to some sort of activity which catered for us all not just the Russians. They also arrange a van to take us clubbing in the city after the entertainment and we always felt safe and well looked after by Arif who was the Head Entertainment Guy. I must congratulate Arif on all his hard work and effort he makes with all the guests.
The pool is always clean and refreshments always available - the only downside was that they closed the free bar and free refreshments at 11pm which i think is too early!!
Overall a great holiday and experience - made that extra bit fun and special by a good hotel!!!

We arrived at midnight and were disgusted by our first sight. Tt is in the middles of nowhere, once we got out of the cab we were confronted by a monstrous green building covered in towels and other items left for drying. The air condition didn’t work and they had overbooked. None of the staff or the guests could speak English. The food was horrible and generally finished as the German and Russian guests would take food up to their rooms. Cleanliness was terrible and the facilities were in need of repair. We stayed there for 2days and requested an upgrade - we enjoyed the holiday once we were out of this hotel. However, all of this said, a hand full of the staff were lovely. It is no way a 4 star hotel, at best i would rate it 2*.

This is the worse hotel i have been to , Staff were rude unhelpful , they over booked so i ended up sharing a room with my two mates not the best start ,
Food there is awful they do not catter for english people , Cleaning staff were lovely and only exception was everywhere was lean and tidy
Only good thing was the surrounding nightlife especially Que Pasa they were amazing in there

It was very good though I havnt been on holiday for years.The hotel is very,very clean...the pool is very clean too with one water slide dont worry parents.There is mini disco for kids entainment,very entertaining.The food for English is not very good there is egg,chips,chunky chips,salad,rice,chicken but thats it there is surrounding restaurants across the road which do English breakfasts very nice.The pool side has alot of sunbeds but not enough spare, but they are in the sun.There is ice-cream but you have to pay for that,the all inclusive drinks are very good great for the kids.The hotel staff are very friendly but most do not speak English.The maids are friendly but do not speak English, the bar men understand English but i dont think they speak it.Entertainment staff speak full english they're there all the time apart from sundays (day off).Its a very good hotal and I would go there again dont I dont know what all the bad comments are about.Oh and there are few Germans there and few English there theres mostly Russions and Polish there.I hope you go.

I pity anyone going to this hole, sorry hotel. I had food poisoning for 5 days and never have I seen some many people arguing with the hotel staff in all my life! Lack of rooms when people arrived, the late check out thats are paid for then denied all knowledge of, the recycled food (personal fav). No wonder-this place is a dirty nightmare. Plus its con after con and it wears you out. The pervy Turkish men, the dirty rooms in need of serious repair, the hopeless rep (you have lived in Turkey 15 years??!!), and the cheek to give themselves a 4 star rating-I wouldnt give it 1! I'd advise you to get your money back and go for something at least 5 star further up the coast in Side.

im from turkey my self and i cant belive what gold safron did to us on our arrival to the hotel they said that we was not booked evendough we paid way in advance from alpharooms. i just want to warn everyone that is about to book this hotel please dont it is the worst hotel with the worst reseption, the staff are worst then each other and no way it is a 4 star hotel we were told that it was put down as a 4 satr hotel to get away from the tax. i live in london and went to my own country to have a good time but thanks to gold safron it was the worst time with young children we were left to find some where else to go.

Just back from gold safran and had great time. Hotel clean, spacious rooms and well air conditioned.Staff friendly and helpful. The entertainment animation team are amazing and really helped make holiday memorable. Food fairly good and is as much as you could ever expect from all inclusive. Drinks are ok and beer super. Would go back anytime. Juliano who does the photos and is a must if u want pictures of truly exceptional quality and unforgettable reminder of what for me was holiday made special by all mentioned above.

arriving at the gold safron with a friend aged 17 and a mother and her friends age 35 + at first we were worried what to expect of the rooms we were staying in as there was 4 of us and we didnt all want to be sharing the same room, however we got to the room and it wasnt as bad as we thought it was a big room with a seprate room with two single beds in and a double bed in the living area with also a couch that could be pulled out into a bed. the balcony looked out onto the pool area this was wounerful. the only downside was there was no air con in the room with the single beds... food was ok .. we met some wounderfull people there mainly the entertainment people that made are holiday great,they will be missed..
recomend this holiday for anyone

My family-Me 53, wife 43 daughters 17+12 and son 15 enjoyed a good bog standard holiday with great hotel staff and healthy nourishing food. weather was hot, pool was immaculate. All inclusive for £900 was great. Local beach clean with hotel bar. Can't ask for more for the price.
