Just returned home from here. Had a fabulous holiday. As an English family,we never found any problems with staff communication, reception staff can communicate great with you. We were the minority but it wasn't a problem.
Hotel was immaculate. Rooms cleaned daily. Table staff cleaned away as soon as your finished eating. Everywhere was just really well looked after.
Reception staff will go out of their way to help you.
It cost us €32.50 for a safe, 10 is refunded on departure.
This area of Turkey seems to prefer euro to any other currency. The bazaar which is not far and accessed via an underpass on the busy road, will snap your hands off for pounds but everywhere else seemed to prefer euro over their own lira currency.
Hotel food was lovely,but I'm not a fussy eater,I can see how fussy eaters or people who prefer British food might not like it. Although during the day you can get Pizzas, chips and burgers at the beach bar. Ice creams are only for an hour a day but they're all your branded walls ice lollies and no shortage of them.
There are priced spirits and cocktails but also a list on all bars of those that are included in the all inclusive.
The only problem with this hotel is not getting a sun lounger for all the greedy folk who get a lounger,leave a towel om it and leave it unoccupied all day long. I got a lounger 1 day out of 9 and that was because I joined the others in getting up at silly o clock to put my towel down. I set an alarm for 0515 to get my towel down as this is what time they start to get their towels down on the pool loungers and also they do the same on the beach loungers from this time. I felt ridiculous but I wanted at least 1 day by the pool. I could not be bothered to do this day after day and find it such a petty and greedy thing to do. We managed to find beach loungers later in the afternoon,but you often have to hunt down the guy for a brolly as they are collected in.
The day trips we booked on the beach, we compared prices with the travel shops at the bazaar and there wasn't really any difference so booked through the beach based group.
I think the evening entertainment could be a bit better, especially as you hear the music from surrounding hotels and want to be at their parties instead.
One more thing that could make guests lives easier is to have more than 1 room card. For 4 adults we had 1 card. An extra one would help alot.
The massages just behind the beach hut selling the day trips is cheaper than the ones on the complex. There is a desk beside the beach bar selling massages, this is for the complex spa,it's double the price of the other place.
My son is waiting on a hip replacement and he managed the stairs around the place but needed some rest times. I suffer with my back and did not manage,I put my back out and was in pain the whole holiday. The steps are a problem if you've got mobility problems. There are ramps,some are quite steep and just as hard to do as the steps.
I wouldn't recommend this place for anyone with mobility issues.
For anyone else,I'd recommend it

Loved our stay at Gardenia Beach Hotel. We were given room 5103 overlooking the pool with slides. A very clean room, spacious and comfortable. Plenty of wardrobe space, mini fridge, TV, aircon. A double and single bed were in our room, an easy chair and table with 3 chairs on veranda.
Nice walk in shower with ample hot water and hair drier in bathroom.
We were given towel cards free to obtain beach towels which could be used round the poops or on the free sunbeds on the beach where there was a massive beach bar you could get drinks on the all inclusive and also lunch. There was a stage here that hosted the evening entertainment. Drinks were good and were served from individual miniatures of 50ml per drink.
Beer was good too.
Food was of a good standard all be it aimed mainly for the German customer as the Germans occupied 90% of the hotel. This was not a problem as I don't go away to eat English food. Always nice to find fellow British that were all too eager to join in our party of 6.
Entertainment was fair, we were kept entertained throughout with the fantastic animation team.
All in all the Gardenia Beach Hotel was a great value holiday for us and we would not hesitate to return or recommend. Shame we only had 1 week stay.
Thank you to all the staff for looking after us.

We stayed at the hotel with my wife and my 7-year-old daughter. The hotel consists mostly of German tourists. The size of the rooms was sufficient. I think the cleanliness and hygiene were very good, from room cleaning to the employees in the restaurant department, they were all very attentive. In general, all the staff were hard-working, hard-working and well-intentioned. The food was good. The snack restaurant on the beach was nice. There was almost always something to eat. During dinner, there was a huge crowd at certain times and therefore there was a queue (I can say that this is the only negative aspect of the hotel). All drinks, including water, could be purchased in glasses. Day and night animations were entertaining. Buildings and There is a nice walking path between the beach. It has a wavy, pebbly sea that gets deep quickly. We did not experience any shortage of sun loungers. We did not use the pools much other than the slides, but they seemed sufficient. We were generally satisfied.

The reception from the reception was already bottom drawer.
The room we got is very clean and the housekeepers are good.
Positive. The facility is very clean.
The towel Ms. Dilek is best woman from the facility friendly nice accommodating .
The assistant waiters, especially Fikret is very friendly served one although you didn't have to give any money.
The waiter Unal is very, very unfriendly and only comes if you push him a money.
Hasan is the same. Only comes to guests when he sees money or whiskey.
But the wifi is great in the whole complex , the beach as well as the beach bar are nicely equipped and everything very clean.

The disadvantage of this facility is that there are very many stairs whether to the room or the pool And not age appropriate.

The existing elevators in the individual houses are so small that you can walk faster if it is feasible for health reasons.

There are five of us and we agree. The food leaves something to be desired.
The facility as such is unfortunately designed too much in Turkish, although mostly Germans book this hotel very very, very disappointing

If your only spoken language is English Stay away!!

This hotel ONLY caters for the German language and German dietary wants.

The hotel itself is kept very clean, tidy and rooms are made up daily,

However your problems start on check in as you will struggle to find any staff who speak more than 2 words of English literally (we had to use Google translate for everything) and this is the same across all the staff and areas in the hotel (restaurant, the bars, animation staff even the excursion sellers only speak Turkish or German).

The food is of very poor standards (pink on the bone chicken) and catered to the German Market,
we as a family struggled as you can't even ask what something is or if they could do some fries due to language barriers.

The all inclusive bar options are limited pilsner, vodka, gin & whisky and around 4 alcoholic cocktails.

The pools are freezing not heated as Germans don't like it was told this via a Google translate chat with lifeguard, the sea is much warmer,
On a positive note the onsite Turkish bath massage is very much worth a visit.

The evening entertainment again is poor either dancing same thing with different name or German singers.

Currency preferred is euro this is how all prices are advertised however GBP or Turkish lira are accepted.

The onsite shop is ok selling some good priced clothes and items, there is a photographer and hair dresser onsite too.

Its Only a 10min walk to 2 good sized bazaars selling a good range of clothes, bags and gifts.

We did the alanya boat trip which was fun we enjoyed the diving off the boat into the sea and the food provided was better than the hotel and the 2hr so in alanya was good as the harbour is right next to a huge shopping area.
The downside was the included drinks were only cola or sprite and were they were charging 4 euro for a 330ml pilsner and again staff spoke Turkish or German

Just returned from a great week with friends, room was large spacious over looking pool with a fridge that was topped up with water everyday.
Breakfast was mainly for European guests but cereals and fresh available with Eggs cooked to order.
Highlight is the private beach and the beach bar that served snacks throughout the day the fresh made to order pizza was delicious.
Evening meal again plentiful most dishes either beef or chicken but still delicious with a huge selection of desserts.
Good selection of All Inc drinks and a few cocktails and mocktails available at various bars throughout the hotel complex.
Entertainment was ok with a kiddies disco first.
Most of the guests were German so staff spoke little English but did try.
All in all a great place and would definitely recommend, will definitely be making a return visit.

Unlike Angelika S. I have to say that we liked the stay very much, or still like it. I cannot confirm the statement that some waiters only come and serve when they get money. They are all very friendly, the new and young waiters with little experience try very hard and if you are lenient and have a kind word left, they give their best. The reception is very accommodating and always helpful. The facility is very well maintained, despite falling leaves everything is clean every day. The food is very extensive and you can always find something, even if it's a theme night, like fish and seafood, which is not mine, there's still something to eat. The cleaning lady we had or have is super friendly. Overall, I can only report positive things about the hotel.
And the fact that a lot of things are written in Turkish is not true either. Translation is carried out in several languages. Besides, you are here in Turkey, where you can also have some understanding of the Turkish language.
Now I have written enough, already far too much for my standards :-D
We are satisfied and our holiday goes on for another 4 wonderful days.
Greetings to those in charge of the hotel.

A perfect time and weather to visit, warm weather, no lines and the staff is not very busy.
I have been here for two days now and it has been a pleasant holiday so far. We arrived at nighttime and were served food after closing hours which I was happy with. German is much better than english here but most off the staff understand some english. But not a bad idea to learn a few words in german if you want to stay here. The room is old, but okay, and clean enough for my standards. The AC was very functioning, so I only had to use it for an hour before bedtime to get it chilly at night. The shower was large and got enough hot water. You only got 3 alcoholic drinks in the all inclusive meny, but I love the Efes beer and am happy with that. The food in both the hotel buffet and beach buffet was pleasant. At the hotel you got barbequed chicken that was good, I have to admit I would be happier if there also was for example beef, kebab and pizza as well. I am looking forward to trying a la carte meals. The staff is very friendly and working hard to please you and I also think the animation team is doing a good job getting you off your chair and activating you :) Yes the staff give you even better service for a tip, but this does not bother me, I still got top service at all times without the tip. The wifi had great coverage from your room and even all the way down to the beach. It did break down often at my room though, so it could absolutely been better. Always available sunbeds at both poolsites and the beach, at least at this time of the year. I did not apprechiate all the cats at the area though, looks like they are beeing fed in the hotel garden, in my opinion it would be a better idea to put them down.. But they were friendly so it was not very annoying. Overall a pleasant journey, and I would not hesitate to come back. Supposedly we were the only norwegians to visit for the last year, but I would absolutely recommend other scandinavians and brits to visit, the journey was worth every penny..

We are currently in family room 5310 at the hotel. Well that's okay, there is no parking lot. There is no pier, the lifeguard in a yellow t-shirt who cleans the aqua park is disrespectful. And he is disrespectful enough to challenge the guests. There is no pool cleaning….. Turkish coffee is only available in the restaurant, it is free outside of meal hours. We would like to thank master Cebrail, the breakfast chef, whose meals are delicious enough. Room cleaning is adequate, only water is left in the minibar daily. A facility I will not choose again.

Lovely hotel, lovely staff they try there best to speak English. Room lovely size with a balcony and part Seaview but did pay extra for it on arrival.

TV very dissapointed as we don't always go out at night and the channels were locked to German. I did ask reception and they said "not possible" in this era of technology anything IS possible. So that would rule us out visiting again which is such a shame. This really needs addressing.

Restaurant OK again aimed at the German tourist but there was always something to eat.

Snack bar good

Drinks good, but alcoholic spirits taste very odd. But in fairness being a Muslim country I thought the tolerance for alcohol is good.

Smoking. Everywhere except inside restaurant and 1 outside terrace. You will passive smoke unless you wear an oxygen mask.

Beach good, sunbeds provided and beach boy very attentive and freindly
