We have just returned from a a short week away to Bitez on the Turkish Aegean coast. I researched the area and it was described as a quiet location. I then researched the hotels and after reading fellow travellers reviews chose Otel Ambrosia. It is classed as 4 Star and I would agree although the rooms were a little jaded and in need of a little maintenance, but nothing we couldn't cope with (our wardrobe door came off its slide if moved too quickly).
The situation of the hotel is fantastic right on the beach - just lawned area separating the hotel pool and restaurant (outside) from the sand of the beach, It is at the end of the promenade which follows the beach round the bay.
The staff were very friendly and as this was the first time we had experienced a Turkey holiday we were very pleased. We felt that we could trust them utterly.
The cleanliness of the hotel was superb, the rooms cleaned daily, the common areas were never littered and the beach too was cleaned daily. The pool was fresh water with a filtration system that kept it clean without having to use strong chemicals.
We were on a half board based holiday and were extremely happy with the standard of the food. Breakfast was eaten on the beach level terrace although in cooler months the restaurant moves indoors. There was a great deal of choice at breakfast with the chefs cooking eggs in any fashion you wanted. Breads, cheeses, fruits, cereals and juices were in abundance whilst the waiting staff filled your coffee cup as often as you wanted them to.
Evening meal was served in the same area at 8pm each evening. The wide selection of Mezzes was always difficult to work through. The hot food was different everyday but there was alaways 3 meat dishes as well as vegetarian options. Desserts were Turkish in origin and perhaps a little sweet for our tastes but we sampled several during our stay.
I admit the bar is a little on the steep side but a very short stroll along the promenande brings you to sveral bars offering food and drinks on the beach.
I undaoubtably recommend this hotel to all ages, as we met families young couples and older people during our stay and nobody seemed unhappy with their holiday. Our only problem was that we had only booked a week.
We will be back soon.
