Hello, this year we were in Turkey for the first time - Hotel Monachus & Spa. Great for me, we'll go again next year. The food was top, there was always something to choose from, coffee, juices, non-alcoholic/alcoholic drinks, mixed drinks all day. Ice cream, waffles by the pool and in the reptile bar at certain times. Otherwise fruit, cakes available. The beach bar is open from 10-18, lunch was also served here, the selection was weaker than in the hotel, but we still ate. A program for children and adults during the day, a children's party in the evening, then performances (already for everyone) and a disco. Beach 2 minutes from the hotel. On the way, the pool with toboggans, which belonged to our hotel, releases the toboggans at the specified time in the morning and afternoon. Great service everywhere. Sandy beach, gradual entrance, also suitable for children. Wifi great signal, no problem. Only water and sweet drinks were added to the minibar here for a fee. Towels are changed regularly. Tidy room every day.…

We stayed form 14 to 21 August 2023 in 3 rooms Visit was family of 6 adults and 2 small children. Rooms are okay-ish - they offer you a cot for child - we had wrong sized mattress inside so it was unusable one child 2 year old fell to space between mattress and side of cot and could not get out by himself. at the end both children were sleeping on bed between parents (not ideal but doable) Bathrooms were small with opened door blocking exit /entrance to shower etc. In 2 rooms bathrooms had quite nasty odor - not solvable probably by hotel stuff they tried something it did not help at all. also nasty odor in bar toilets. in game room where ping/pong table was. near trampolines is some chemical smelly thing from other hotel or whatever is next to it. No non-smoking parts near pools/night events etc not existing... also no idea what class of people are visiting this hotel but smoking directly on their own children is not smartest thing to do i guess. Beach is nice but cigarette buts every other step... major surprise i found on last night at hotel when was staying up during it and noticed cats jumping on kitchen tables cutlery etc. (took few photos) Kittens had hey day inside of restaurant where next morning people will use those forks and knifes to eat. If you stay with kids and they are not capable to sleep with loud noises ask for room heading away from pools. Otherwise expect lot of noise in room till 23:00 Local time from evening program. …

Dear martirm, On behalf of the entire management and staff of the hotel, please allow us to thank you for such a detailed review of your holiday at Monachus Hotel & Spa. To make every guest's holiday comfortable and pleasant is our main task and we are sincerely sorry that some moments marred your holiday. We will consider your comment regarding the use of tobacco products by guests on the beach carefully and hope that we can find a solution to this issue. We are very sorry to hear that cats were found in the hotel restaurant during the night. However, our staff are always considerate of this and will take cats to the hotel garden if necessary. Some guests feed the cats from the table (which is not allowed), so the cats come back looking for food. The hotel staff has been warned again on this issue. Thank you for your concern and help in improving the quality of our services. We look forward to seeing you again and hope that your next holiday at Monachus Hotel & Spa will be even more enjoyable! Best regards, Monachus Hotel & Spa Management

The biggest reason we prefer this hotel is that it is good in cleaning and hygiene. It was good in this respect again. but this year we were not very satisfied in terms of fruits. We were saddened that the same employee (name of Mr. Yusuf) did not say either a welcome or goodbye to us, especially during the check-in and departure at the reception. He is reluctant about Turkish families we think.

Great hotel. It is not far from the airport and is in an excellent location. Distance to the sea is around 200 m. There are many shops around. We were 4 ladyfriends. Everything was great, from the reception, accommodation, staff, food, beach, area. The animators and the program were great. The foam party was perfect. It cannot even be described in words. They also prepared birthday decorations and a cake for us. We enjoyed our holiday on 100%. The hotel met all our expectations. I have been to Turkey 10 times, but this hotel is the best. We will definitely be back next year... Thank you all very much and I wish you all the best. Herşey için teşekkür ederim 🧡🇹🇷 Beáta from Slovakia

Great price and quality. The hotel complex is perfectly located about an hour from the airport, in a quiet part of the resort. Everything was acceptable, calm sea-clean, sandy beach with a gradual entrance and on the other side, many shops in the center. Distance to the sea approx. 200m. along the alley between the hotels and through a narrow park. The beach was a bit narrow, but adequate for the number of guests. Food and soft drinks, ice cream twice a day. The hotel offers everything necessary for the proper use of the day. The complex is smaller, but it describes the slogan: everything in one place - under one roof... Super staff - the reception staff solved everything for accommodation, bike rental, maintenance... The rooms are smaller, but the family suite over two floors... Plenty of space in the restaurant, always plenty of tasty food... The cooks checked the condition and the waiters tried to offer drinks. Relaxation at the bar and perfect experienced bartenders... The animators prepared suitable activities - ordinary sports activities and also, for example foam party... The evening programs were of a professional level. Thank you all very much and I wish you all the best. If it works out, in a year I would like to meet PELIZAT, NADID, OKANA, FATÍH... I wish a nice vacation to whoever chooses this hotel and comes here to gain strength and new experiences... Karol from Slovakia…

We go there again and again. Perfect food, perfect place, perfect beach, everything is so clean. Very good 4* (even better than some 5*). TOP mini disco and the animation team. Highly recommended. Will go there again definitely. The quality of the hotel is on a high level for many years already - I think that's the sign. The beach is very friendly to the little ones. The food is just great, thank's to the best cook ever-he is there for already many many years. The hotel is so cozy. Animation team is just wonderful. Waterslides are so funny!

Monachus is good choice for the rest with the family or friends! Territory is not big, but there is all what you need: pool, few bars, chill zone near the stage. Beach is located in 3-4 minutes away, there are a lot of places where to sit and beach bar with drinks and food during the lunch. One of the best part of that hotel - animation team. Guys are always funny and open to talk. The best for me were Jay Jay with his everyday beach volleyball, Tugce as a very positive and communicable person and their charismatic chef Alex! You won’t get bored with that guys🤪 I were absolutely happy to visit that hotel and recommend it to others❤️

Pros: - Very good location, just pass another hotel to reach the beach - Helpful staff - Good food, though I guess it could be even more varied if there were more guests - Clean rooms Cons: - Staff doesn't speak English well - Animation was almost absent, but that's because of covid - Rooms and the main hotel building were a bit "tired", renovation might make this hotel the best one in this pricing/value category :)

We had a weeks holiday here in July and it was such good VFM that we went back in October. It's in an area where almost all the hotels are 5 star all inclusive although it is only 4 star it is twinned with the 5 star Commodore Elite 18+ hotel which residents at Monachus are entiltled to use the facilities at. 90% of the people holidaying in this area are on German package deals but most of the staff speak English too. Thmeals were great, it has it's own private beach area which has a bar and lunch and afternoon snacks are served there too. The spa is very well managed and the pool area for the hotel is great too. Rooms extremely comfortable with good servicing too. Couldn't fault it.
