Orka Sunlife Resort & Spa

Rooms; bit on the small size with being 3 of us in there, okay if only 2 people, the 3sleeping spot was a sofa bed, not ideal for a 13year old kid, might suit better for younger kids. Lovely with own fridge in room, long way if needed a cold drink from bar. Tea/coffee facilities in room. Tv channels, poor for English speaking programs, and when we did find a film to watch it had been it had been transformed into turkey’s speaking. Yes I know you don’t go on holiday to watch tv. Nice and powerful shower. Nice size toilet facilities. Safe in room also a nice. Air conditioning in room was nice. Nice little balcony. Hotel facilities was plenty, on site gym, age restrictions, turkey’s bath, indoor swimming pool, steam room, sauna, different shower ( not sure what that was all about)lol, on-site hair dresser, overpriced shop, hand bag shop and a jewel shop. Outside swimming pool, with lots of interesting activities put on. Pool music a bit loud for my taste. Never had a problem finding sun chairs. Nice touch with towels card, so you always had a nice clean/dry towel. Nice with the slides being in a different pool, so you didn’t fell like you were upsetting other people, you were there because you wanted to do slides. And a separate baby pool as well. Restaurant had plenty off choices every day, every evening there was always something New to try. Staff very hardworking, but always there to make your time the best they could. They all deserve a special thank you. Do try the 2 paying restaurants on site, we did the Chinese and was pleasantly surprised. Outside snacks bar with ice cream, cakes and homemade waffles was lovely. Try the turkey’s spa day is a must, every penny well spent. There is 2 buses from hotel in the morning that takes you to Tiger beach, where you don’t have to pay for the sun beds, being a guest from the hotel, food from the Tiger beach shack was really nice. The buss have 2 pick up times back to your hotel (all free). But if you don’t want to wait the taxi rank 2 min up the road will take you back for hardly nothing. ( do take swim shoes, the beach is hot and rocks) Good shopping facilities 2mins away from Tiger beach, there is everything you could want. Amazing to see all the people sky diving from the cliffs all day long. Right next to Tiger beach there is a stall where you can try all sorts of water activities, due go directly to them and not the once were the shops are, we made the mistake in paying where the shops are and ended up the same place, for both activities. We booked a boat trip with our Thomas cook rep and I can only say wow, that is the way to see a country. If you are unlucky enough to be travelling back late, and having to be out off room in the morning, not a problem, there is shower facilities you can use, you are allowed to eat and use all the hotel has to offer all day, there is also a storage area for your suitcase, the hotel also offer a safe (do have to ask, since it is behind the front seat) free off charge. If you want to get a taxi anywhere there is a button you press at the the hotel front desk, and they will be there within minutes. Overall we were very happy with our stay, it did everything we wanted and expected, the only reason I scored it a 4 and not a 5 was simply because of the size of the room and the sofa bed. Be warned lots of stairs it will keep you fit

Stayed here in June 2018 Food and drink quality is excellent. Rooms are modern and bright Pool is a little small for the size of the hotel but the slides are good fun. There was also a shortage of beds It's a good location just outside Hisarönü The lift/cable car to take you to the rooms kept breaking and there was a lot of steps to climb Overall a great stay and would return

We stayed at Orka Sunlife for our honeymoon in October 2019 and we booked a swim-up room in the beautiful Nirvana annexe rooms. Yes there were lots of steps but it was so worth it. The room was immaculate and we loved being able to sit on our own balcony in peace and quiet but be able to get into the pool from there. Food excellent, you can’t always please everyone but we found the food to be fresh and tasty and we always found something we enjoyed and really loved the waffles and ice cream in the afternoons. Big shout out to the entertainment team who were so friendly. We had a problem with a blockage in our shower but when we told reception the man came straight away and it was fixed within 10 minutes. Easy to get into Hısaronu for the nightlfe which we liked, we got a taxi each way and only cost about 20lira. Definitely one of the best hotels we have stayed at in Turkey and we shall be returning for our next holiday. Thanks Orka Sunlife
