Asena Village Hotel

This was the best holiday I have ever experienced. The hotel was spot on, couldn’t ask for anything better, hotel was clean and without the staff our holiday would be incomplete, staff were so friendly and helpful.
Definitely going again next year. Location is amazing about 5 minuet drive from the mind blowing beach (blue lagoon) big up to all the bar staff at Asena village and a big thank you to the restaurant staff for the amazing service. Choice of food is amazing.

We arrived back today after a fantastic holiday. We stayed for 2 weeks on a half board basis, after paying so little to upgrade to HB we decided that if the food was no good we could eat out...which we did...due to a prior arrangement...and I really wished we hadn't!
Check in was simple. Offered air-con at 3£ per day and the use of a safety deposit box, which was near to reception and had a dual security measure. 2 adults and 3 children-have to say I was worried it may have been cosy, but again no need. We were given a 3 roomed room.
The only criticism I have of the place it that the rooms and bathrooms are tired, but management know this. The rooms are simple and typically Turkish. There was enough storage for the 5 of us and the beds were comfy.
We went for the air-con as it was in the mid/late 40's when we arrived and we left it on all day so that the other rooms would benefit as it is only in the main bedroom.
The rooms had a mini bar stocked with water, soft drinks and a couple of beers, all prices shown on the door. They were very clean. Our towels were changed daily as was our bedding...the kids got excited guessing what shape the bedding would be in...Really excited when there were fresh flowers and petals!
Breakfast is again Turkish, with pancakes twice a week and omelettes twice a week.
There is a pool bar for lunch if you want to use it- toasties pizzas etc.
There wasn't a mad rush for sun beds in the morning, and until the middle of our stay there was a great canopy across 1/2 of the pool terrace which was a welcome relief, but it got really windy one night and fell victim...but I'm sure it will be reinstated v soon.
Dinner was a lavish affair with stacks to choose from, both English and Turkish. The food was beautiful. (Apparently there has been no case of Turkey tummy within the hotel for over 2 years). The staff were great, making our children feel like they were the only ones staying in the hotel.
We did the jeep safari, my husband drove and we went through Hamish Mc Turk...a fabulous day out. Wear your dirtiest clothes and take a bin-liner if you don't want stuff to get wet!
Though it has to be said that not all companies are as insured as they would like you to think so check your policy. There was also unfortunately an accident the day after we went, and not with the company we used.
We did the water park at Ovacik, not one of the best days out I have to admit. All of the children (and hubby) came back with bad bruises because the joints of the slides weren't as smooth as they should have been...also they seem to close the slides for an hour over lunch, and in some parks it's half price after that, worth saving yourself a few quid.
We also went riding, which was good fun, although very long! Over 3 hours, we went to Kaya but once we arrived and had a quick drink it was time to ride back, so may be worth a dolmus ride if you want to look around the ghost town.
Hisaronu was busy, and hot, and for me was too British, but everyone was friendly. But that's my personal view.
Olu Deniz was also busy and hotter but what a setting! We did a day on the beach and a meal in the evening. It was 15 ytl for 2 beds and a parasol for the day on the public beach.
What more can be said about our holiday??
The staff work their backs off to make your stay a happy one, and I would cert go back to Asena Village. But wouldn't use Onur Air...but thats another review!
Enjoy!!!

Great hotel, best hotel staff just amazing if it’s up to me I will give this hotel 11 /10! We had best time of our holiday I went with my 3 children and with my husband we love it so much we already making plan to go back because we miss it so much!
The hotel staff give us warm welcome great for family holiday, thank you for making our holiday great fun. Staff in main restaurant garden bar and on the reception are my favourite. Ramadan who works in main restaurant, my kids love him so much.
Others I don’t know there name they all very nice we had best time of our life in this hotel, it is allot better then 5 star hotel because of their staff who are very friendly make you feel like home.
I just cant wait to go back we stayed in room no 283i hope staff still remember us because we will never forget them, god bless them all and their families they working so hard for this hotel, wish you all the best in future.
One more thing the food in this hotel was amazing, my kids me and my husband we enjoy the food so much it was allot to choose from.
Entertainment was excellent twice a week, it was amazing I just come back home with the best memories of this hotel.

We have visited this complex 3 times in 15 months, the last finishing at the end of July.
We are also going there again next year why? The whole area is constantly kept clean all the staff are very friendly and helpful.
This year has seen the arrival of spiky mike the entertainments manager from the UK who has made the poolside activities and evening entertainment better due to the variety of well known games and shows to augment the fantastic Turkish entertainment. Bear in mind 98% of visitors whilst we were there were English this addition to the staff has been most beneficial.
We upgraded to half board and were very pleased with both the quality and quantity of food provided.
Value for money it was excellent
Our thanks to Cuneyt, his management and staff for making our holiday most enjoyable

Where do I start??!!
We came home last Tuesday and I just want to be back there. It was brilliant!!
The staff were excellent, very friendly and always happy to help.
David and the boys were very entertaining, joining in with pool games and entertaining in the evening.
Mike - the English entertainer was brilliant too!!
We went bed and breakfast so only ate in the hotel twice but the food and the staff were excellent.
We got very friendly with everybody in the hotel which was helped by the pool games - getting everyone to socialise together.
I went in a group of four - my boyfriend and his brother and his girlfriend. In the evenings we took the five minute walk into the centre where there are lots of lovely restaurants and bars!!
We only had one bad meal in two weeks which was at a Chinese but everywhere else was brilliant, good value for money and beautiful food.
The best bar - Aloha!!! With Angel and Tolgar!!!!
We are planning to go back in the near future.

This was the best holiday I have been on my mum and dad and brother and sister and I came and it was one of the best holidays we have been on!
The entertainment was excellent the food was great, there was loads to do! The staff were really nice!
I enjoyed it allot I want to come back!!! I don’t know how anybody could rate it under 7 because it is a awesome hotel and a good place to be for a family holiday!

We had a fantastic time here. The wonderful staff treated you like family and couldn't do enough for you.
I was shocked to read on here that the food was described as 'bland'. I have stayed in 5 star hotels across the world from India, Africa to the Med and I thought that the food here was far better than many 5 stars! The food really was outstanding!
Up to 30 dishes to choose from for breakfast (cereal, eggs cooked in several ways, fruits; apricots, cherries, watermelon, galia melon, grapefruit, etc), several types of fresh crusty bread and rolls, cheeses, local honey, homemade jams, homemade yogurt, toast., bacon and egg) .... An amazing choice!
Dinner was incredible, there was every salad you could think of, dozens of amazing Mezes, (vegetarian meat and fish) and from the buffet counter was usually two or three choices of main dish, plus vegetables, potatoes rice all beautifully and freshly prepared).
Not being funny, but I think the sort of people who complain about the food are the sort who don’t know what a vegetable is! Trust me, the food was incredible!
We went B & B to try out outside restaurants but nothing compared with the Asena restaurant.
The entertainment was tops! Something for everyone. and the area and countryside are just stunning!

Had a great time! I, wife, and two boys couldn't have asked for more.
If you wanted good food and entertainment, you could get it in the hotel.
Hisaronu main street is a five minute walk. Some great bars and restaurants.
The waiters and the rest of the staff in the hotel are very friendly people, who will go out of their way to help.
Not really the kind of place that would suit a gang of lads / girls, nor is it the kind of place that has marble floors and gold taps. But if you are looking for a laugh, great service, good food, value for money and somewhere you feel safe with your children, and then this is the place.
Well done to all at Asena for making our family holiday a great one.

Without wishing to sound a snob, if you smoke and have tattoos (ladies included) you will feel really at home here!! Seriously, this is NOT an upmarket hotel. It has a Butlins feel to it, but actually grows on you.
The staff are really friendly and helpful - for example, when you arrive, they dash to get your cases and don't expect a tip. The lock to our room was faulty so we couldn't get in. Within 5 minutes the cleaning manager was there to help. Within 20 minutes the lock was changed. Now that's service!!
Everything spotless. Rooms spacious but showers a bit dingy - don't expect marble floors here. This isn't Club Letoonia!
Food was very variable. Occasional excellent meal but usually quite bland. Not really enough choice. Normally I filled up on the Mediterranean-style starters. Sunday lunch -yuk. Soggy Yorkshire puds and bland food. If some folk thought this was good, heaven knows what they eat at home.....
The extras were a pain. 4 liras for a dollop of ice cream??? I know this wasn't the Ritz but come on!!
Location spot on. In secluded area with forests and mountains as backdrop. 5-10 minutes walk away from very Brit-orientated town which is not at all yobby. Dolmus transport great. Friendly and embarrassingly cheap. Loads of ridiculously cheap and excellent excursions to be had. Book them yourselves - quite a bit cheaper than those sold by reps - and you can even haggle these prices down, too!!
I got my holiday half price off Latedeals.co.uk. So can't complain too much, but if I'd had to pay full price I would have been disappointed with value for money. They really should have an all inclusive option as running up a tab is a pain - although my bill was not too expensive and very accurate.
Would I return? Yes, but not paying the full price, plus I'd have to start smoking again and get loads of tattoos - ouch!

I have just returned, today actually, from the Asena Village and I can honestly say the best hotel I have ever stayed in. From the minute we arrived till we left we felt like family, the staff are fantastic.
Mike, David alfie and all the boys behind the bar are great and Ramzam and all the restaurant staff can’t do enough. The hotel manager joins in with everything from first thing in a morning till late at night.
The food was first class and the Sunday lunch, well, I would go back every Sunday just for this meal.
The rooms were clean and had clean towels everyday. Nothing is too much for anyone at the Asena.
I never go back to a place I have already been but am definitely going to go back here.
I would just say when and if you go to Olu Deniz beach you definitely need some beach shoes for going into the sea as it is very pebbly, so don't delay book today for the Asena cos once been you will definitely go again.
