ambrosia hotel

ambrosia hotel resides on beach of bitches bay.
Bitches bay is wonderful bay that give the feeling you are in a lake,
some kilometers length, surrounded by mountains.
in the bay there is marine, small boats, yachts .
along the beach there are café houses, restaurants, and tourist's shops.
the sea is clean and quite, and all view around is like picture.
there is no use to write about ambrosia hotel without understanding that the hotel,
its swimming pool, and dinning area is are all one unit.
the structure of the hotel is something between hotel and club.
there are lot of spaces in the building, and from almost every point you can see the sea.
the hotel is not magnificent, but has all the facilities a guest can need.
every thing is fixed, working, and service is very good.
food is based on basic ingredients and is very repeatable, very similar to what usually
one eats at home.
I believe most of people will manage with it, but a very spoiled person might have problem.
the atmosphere in the dining area is very pleasant.
it is outside buffet, with candles, and very nice service of waiters.
there are no activities in the hotel, but on the beach lot of agencies offer traveling, cruises, club nights… .
if you are looking for quite and peaceful time this is the place.

We have just returned from a week at the Ambrosia in Bitez. The location on the beach in this pretty bay is super. Our smart and comfortable room had views over the pool and the sea.The hotel is very clean and the staff excellent,
The evening meal always had a good selection of food but the breakfasts were a little disappointing.
The hotel is rated four stars but we felt it was nearer a three star hotel. We only had entertainment on one evening and generally felt it was a bit dead in the evenings. Maybe this was due to being near the end of season.

Had upset stomach the entire time and after spending about £600.00 on extras was accused of stealing from mini bar as i was leaving and taken off transfer coach infront of my 2 baby daughters. I had had 3 itmems from mini bar night before which i asumed were on bill i had just paid - and the total cost was £5.00. when i said I did not like being accused on stealing and said that they had not done their job properly the man at reception ran after me in a very threatening manner and I thought he would hit me. All the waiters do is prey on female holiday makers - do not go there unless you enjoy being sick with bad stomach and being hassled by stupid waiters....

This hotel has 4 Stars above its entrance and that is where it ends.
Lets start in the bedroom! We stayed in Room 2220. On the face it it looked OK but be warned. Beds were the hardest and most uncomfortable I heve slept on in 40 years of travel. The top sheet was like a hession table cloth - I guess this must be a local trait as I have never had them anywhere else in Turkey. Most uncomfortable if it got underneath you. The balcony (as with 90% of all other rooms) gives you a view of another concrete balcony some 20feet away. Absoluetly abysmal. No plugs in either the basin or the bath and I guess as a consequence of this little to no hot water if you decided on a wash and shower after 7pm.

The bar was as dead a s a Dodo and the hotel management showed no effort in trying to make it a scene of sociality even for pre dinner drinks.

First two nights we used the internal dining area. Yes there is segregation for the non smokers, but you had to walk through the smoking are to get at the food. A disgrace! later in the week dining was all al fresco, but no seperation for non smokers. As to the dining service? The food was edible but boring and unimaginitive. Also, why can every small bar and restaurant in the area provide table service yet this so called 4 Star not??

There is a so called Pool Bar and a so called Beach Bar. What an absolute waste of time and effort. Little to no use or take up by residents and why - because it so boring and un-inviting.

The staff are very friendy and the place is spotlessley clean. It is a pity the management cannot see or understand what 4 star facilities should provide. Go to the moon for your holiday, there's a lot more atmosphere their!!

And finally I would not recommend swimming in the local sea! It is said that there are some 30000 vistors per day during the peak season, all using the toilet each morning. Apparently lt it all ends up being discharged out in the bay?
