“Nice time”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed December 5, 2012

The hotel looks very well, the rooms are large and clean. The food is good, the meals based on meat are quite poor. The pool looks ok, but the beach (private hotel's beach) is too far from the hotel. You have to go out from the hotel and walk around 5-10 minutes. Vera Santa Maria is also pretty far from the city center, but you can go there by dolmut, the local minibus.
The animation program is ok..
Mainly, our holiday was very good and I enjoyed staying at Vera Santa Maria.

“fantastic holiday!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed October 29, 2012

We stayed here from 26th Sept till 9th October 2012. We really liked how small it was and how quiet it was in the last week as it was coming to the end of the season. It was hot every day except one, which wasn't a problem as we took a dolmus (bus) to the local town. It took 10 minutes and cost about a £1 per person each way, there were little shops, restaurants, a marina and it was just nice to get out and see some local scenery. Yes, you get a bit of hassle from the people who work in the shops to 'Come in and look', but a firm 'No, thankyou' works every time.
The hotel was clean, we had housekeeping every day and were not short on towels etc, the only times we thought we were short was when the room cleaner had made them into a nice swan etc on the bed, which they did most days. A 2 litre bottle of water was left in the room every day even if we had a fridge full (which we did!). The drinks at the bar were very strong, the beer 'Efe's' was nice, the staff were friendly but not over the top. We did not feel like we had to give a tip at all even though we did and this is something we had gotten used to from visiting the Caribbean and Egypt many times.
There were always had spare sunbeds at the pool and it was quite cold but that was as we were at the end of the season, it definitely wasn't the coldest I've been in and still got in 3 times a day to work off the all inclusive food! The food was good, I'm a vegetarian with a nut allergy so I often struggle but the food was the best I've had in any all inclusive we've been to. The omelette man was good, as was the pizza lady and we both ate plenty.
The evening entertainment was moved indoors rather than use the main stage for the last few evenings as there were so few of us left but Fufu and his team always managed to keep everyone smiling with their non intrusive entertainment style.
The only negative was the amount of Brits I heard moaning about the lack of other Brits etc, but I feel the moaning was unfounded!
Would definitely return, we had a fab time, came back nice and tanned and relaxed that is what we want from our holidays!!

Room Tip: Choose a room away from overlooking the pool as it can get noisy there.

“Lovely holiday”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed October 11, 2012

We have just stayed one week in this hotel, 3rd to 10th October and it was just what we were looking for. The hotel is pretty quiet and this time of year so it seems there wasn't as much going on as during the summer months but it did mean getting a sun lounger was no problem. No one saved beds and didn't really come by the pool till between 9 and 10 o'clock. It also meant that the dining room was very quiet too and there was no problem getting food. The down side to the time we went was that there was no Turkish night and half way through the week they stopped putting tables round the pool for the evening meal and entertainment was moved inside. I think it is because they think it is cold. I can assure you it's not. The temperature was at least 30 in the day and we did not need cardigans or jumpers in the night.

Now for more info on the hotel. The location is pretty good. It takes maybe 10 mins on a dolmas to get into town which costs about £1 each way per person. The dolmas stop is a 5 min walk if that, just round the corner. Do not be worried by what people have said about the road. It wasn't a busy road while we were there and there is a walkway section so you aren't actually walking on the road, and you are literally on it for seconds.

Round the corner from the hotel is a mini market if you need to buy anything and that is where the dolmas stop is. Just a few paces further on from there is the beach. We weren't too bothered about the beach as it was only small and nothing too fancy so we just stayed round the pool.

The hotel itself is very clean. They are constantly mopping and cleaning round the pool, and clearing up in the dining room. The rooms are also very clean. The maids work hard and do a very good job. They one time forgot to give us towels so I went to reception and they brought us some in minutes so it was no problem.

All the staff are super friendly!! Some of the bar staffs English isn't great but you get by. The entertainers English is very good and everyone is so helpful. The staff really make the holiday.

As for the food, it is very nice. There is always someone doing pancakes and omelettes down by the pool in a morning. At dinner there is always a big selection of salad and then cold and hot foods. The same is at tea time but there is also always something from the BBQ and the lady baking fresh bread by the pool. The dining room is also nicely situated because it is by the pool. I think if you ask then the boys clearing plates away will get your drinks, but there is a bar by the pool which we just went to ourselves. As for the drinks, the beer was good, as we're the vodka and rum. We weren't keen on the wine. You also get a big bottle if water in your room ever day. I think due to the time of year there wasn't as much food available during the standard meal times. You could get burger and chips between 12 and 4 but that was it, there were no ice creams or other snacks which there may be during the summer months.

Overall it was a very nice holiday and I would recommend it. It's good value and we had a very relaxing holiday.

“Nice holiday and friendly staff”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed September 23, 2012

The hotel is not so big, there is one restourant, one pool, animation team and some option for sport- tennis, billiard, water polo, volleyball.

The rooms are basic for 3 star hotel- normal bed, tv, air condition, phone. The housekeeping team works good and it's clean in everywhere in the hotel. The pool is not so big but there is enough place and sunbeds for everyone in the hotel. There is a private beach but I don't like it.

The food is nice- there are different meals from their national and from european cuisine. Very nice desserts, nice beer also, the other drinks in all inclusive are not so good. The staff and animation team work hard and I like them. In general I can say that this is a good option for cheep holiday, maybe this is the best one hotel in Kushadasi in this class.
