Cornelia Diamond Golf Resort and Spa

First of all this hotel is spotless clean and has tried very hard to keep people safe during Covid 19. The restaurant offers a good choice in the buffet and the dome bar offers limited menu for snacks at present but the food in both is very good. The cakes are just staggering in choice and quality. Drink wise it’s also very good re all brands are there and supply is plenty full. Hotels rooms are superb very comfy bed spacious and very well finished. Here’s where it lets itself down. To create an image of luxury we were playing cards listening to music can’t play cards as it lowers the standard. However you can come out of the spa soaked half naked and nothings said. There isn’t enough staff to cope with amount of people getting a hot drink at breakfast is like hunting for Loch Ness unless your from Eastern Europe. If you want a sun bed by the pool set your alarm earlier than you get up for work. The first week was easy as the hotel was at 25% 2nd week at 7am you struggled to get 2. These points may sound fussy and minuscule given we ended up here rather than Vietnam due to Covid however we are grateful that Turkey does feel that it’s doing a better job than uk with Covid. But for us this is not Diamond quality or 5 star level as advertised it just could do better

Staff is good, they are kind and smiling, the hotel is clean. Food is great. Pools are clean and big. Kids pool is New and fantastic. We have had good time as a family. Rooms are big enough. Precautions for covid iş enough

On the last day of our holiday and feeling devastated to be leaving. Was a touch nervous about travelling in these unusual times, but this hotel and its staff have got it so right and I feel totally safe and relaxed for the first time in six months! Hotel is spotlessly clean, and you will see cleaning by housekeeping happening around the clock. There are hand sanitising stations everywhere, and in your room you even get a linen sanitising bag filled with hand gel, masks and wipes to carry around the resort with you which is such a caring touch and we have ours with us all the time. Staff are forever sanitising tables, toilets, touch points and staff are in PPE all the time. (This must be so hard for them to be in masks in the heat but they really do not let it show). When we arrived hotel seemed empty (reduced capacity) but a few more have arrived this week but still all socially distanced at mealtimes, during entertainment around the pool and beach etc. Staff are very attentive at mealtimes and in bars and generally around the hotel - nothing is too much trouble. Food is excellent and there is a huge variety on offer. We ate in the fish and steak restaurants and both were brilliant, but the steak restaurant exceptional!! The T-bone steak was the best I’ve had! The drinks are brilliant, and labelled spirits which was a real highlight as it tends to be local spirits on all inclusive. There is entertainment every night, but our favourite thing is Jazz nights on the pier - it’s just magical listening to the live music with the waves splashing against the shore below. Also, be sure to catch sunset on the pier bar as it’s stunning when it sets behind the mountain (with a glass of fizz in hand, of course!). The pools are vast, and we love setting up camp for the day in the adults only relaxation area. But for kids there’s heaps of flumes and a mini water park. The beach is also lovely - sandy and very clean, with plenty of shade. There’s games and entertainment in the day if you want it, like table tennis, mini golf, volley ball etc. Don’t miss out on an afternoon in the spa - there are about 10 different heat rooms/experiences. I loved the reflexology pools. Our room (3587) was lovely, overlooking the pools and has a big balcony! Mini bar in room restocked daily, lovely big wet room rainfall shower and huge bath. Bed was SO comfortable and room really spacious (even though you’re never in it!). I could go on forever. Although it’s a big resort, it’s very luxurious, the attention to detail is 5* and quality is never compromised. For the price it’s sensational value. I am already planning to return here with my mum in a few months for a girls holiday! See you again soon and thank you for such an amazing stay! Natalie x
