Good holiday but a few tweaks needed to lift it to a 5 star
We stayed at the Atlantica Dreams at the end of July and had a good holiday. We'd say it is more of a 4 star resort, although certainly some 5 star qualities.
Pros:
- Pebbly, but lovely beach area with beautiful calm and clear sea. Great sun loungers available (very comfy)
- The beach bar was great, despite very slow service (see below)
- Splash Park area great fun. Our son loved it!
-TUI entertainment was amazing - the team worked really hard! The evening QuizStorm was great fun! The Tui children's team were brilliant - always so enthusiastic and full of energy. They all worked incredibly hard -Some really friendly resort staff -The grounds are beautifully kept and maintained. Very clean too -The mexican food van was very popular. We only used it once but it was great!
Cons: -I know it's very 'first worldy' but our bathroom (family swim up room with sliding doors) was very small. The bathroom door opened right onto the toilet, and the towel rails were right by the toilet which we found quite unhygenic. With more than one of us in there, it was cramped. For a 5 star rating, we'd expected more room -Towels, both room and pool/beach need updating. Some were very thin and a couple had holes in -Food was ok - to be honest we were a little disappointed. There were some lovely fresh dishes, but in the main the food was repetitive and there could have been more pre-prepared salad dishes. The al a carte restaurants were disappointing too - we were really looking forward to our burgers at Liberty but they were very overcooked and dry. The family next to us thought the same. -Really long queues at the Beach Bar and the bar tender on 2 occasions ignored our 9 year old son to serve other adults when he had clearly been waiting before them. -On 2 mornings the queue for breakfast was huge! But to be fair the staff worked so very hard and did their very best to manage it best they could -Perhaps more shade could be provided around the pool areas -As others have mentioned, the difference in sun loungers between the family areas and adult only areas seems unfair!
We enjoyed our holiday very much, but a few tweaks would definately help lift it! We thank all the hard working staff
Block 7 family holiday
We stayed as a family last week. Overall it was a lovely stay.
As others have mentioned although this is a 5 star resort, I feel the food certainly in the buffet is not to 5 star standard. As a family with children we expect it to be busy etc but we felt it was very chaotic and hard to have a conversation as it was very loud. I witnessed a couple of times children using hands on food and even a child using a spoon to eat some sprinkles for ice cream and putting it back in the bowl for others to use. I did let staff know.
At breakfast they took a drinks order however after asking for a cappuccino I was told to use the machine myself which I felt was not up to standard,
We used the adults only breakfast while the kids used the kids club in this was like a word of difference compared to the main area and so much more enjoyable.
Used 3 restaurants while at the resort and all really lovely: the Italian restaurant I felt rushed us through our meal though and couldn’t wait to serve our food.
We was in block 7, our pool was under a tree and felt the cleaning of this could have been better as we had to ask for it to be cleaned, once asked it was done immediately.
Elina, the pool waitress is amazing! She works so hard and friendly and happy! She deserves credit.
We would definitely return to the resort and enjoyed our week.
Food needs improving
The layout of this resort is excellent and it feels plush. Adults only areas, family pools, adults only breakfast restaurant. The staff are the standout feature though. They are helpful and go out of their way supporting guests.
We have stayed in a number of five star resorts, especially in Turkiye. This resort is not quite at the five star standard we have enjoyed previously. The following are the things we found frustrating:
- The room lacks a magnifying mirror, box of tissues or bar of soap. There was nowhere outside to dry swim wear. All this is supplied in other five star resorts we have visited .
- The food in the buffet is too repetitive. The salads are the same everyday and very basic (stayed for 14 nights). It got boring very quickly. Where were the cous cous salads, pasta salads...? Breakfast in the adults only restaurant was also highly repetitive. The pastries are tiny and often over cooked. There were often flies hovering above the food in the evening in the buffet restaurant and this felt unhygienic. Towards the end of the 14 night stay the food got very salty and at times was inedible. We overheard many families comment on the saltiness. I had butter chicken and the taste was overpowered by salt. Such a shame.
- Staff often removed my plate in the main restaurants whilst I was still chewing the last mouthful. The male waiting manager in the main buffet was overheard several times chastising the staff and this was unpleasant to witness.
- The adults only sunbeds were very soft and plush. The sunbeds available to families were not as nice and seemed tired.
- The towels in the bathroom need replacing. They were very thin.
- A la carte experience felt rushed. We went to 6 and was rushed to eat three courses in under an hour. The food was variable with the American grill being the best one. I ordered a chicken kebab in the greek and was surprised to be served two pieces of chicken that had a tempura coating that reminded me of Birds eye chicken dippers!!
Overall we had a nice holiday but we won't be back again as the food for us is a very important aspect of the holiday and it felt short of being five star.
Our son took part in the masters football camp. I highly recommend this, he thoroughly himself and the coaching was excellent. This was most definitely the highlight of our holiday.
Excellent hairdresser experience
My daughter and I had our hair done by Sofia. She was excellent both friendly and professional. I would high recommend her
Spa visit!
Had a wonderful time at the Aegeo Spa, Jenny was an excellent therapist and provided the most wonderful experience and massage. Thank you!
