Marvida Family Lykia Botanika Beach

Extremely Disappointing Experience at Lykia Botanika Our stay at Lykia Botanika was deeply disappointing and frustrating from the very beginning. What should have been a relaxing holiday turned into a series of unpleasant experiences that reflected a severe lack of management and hospitality standards. The most concerning issue was the poor cleanliness throughout the hotel. Food trays and rubbish were frequently left in the corridors leading to our rooms, sometimes remaining there for days before being removed. This created an unclean and unhygienic atmosphere that no guest should have to tolerate. Housekeeping services were completely inadequate. We were forced to contact reception every single day — usually around 4pm — to request that our room be cleaned. Even after these repeated requests, the cleaning was often incomplete or done carelessly. On one occasion, when I raised the matter with the receptionist, I was told the room had already been cleaned and was even blamed for the state of it, despite the fact that we had only just returned. Such a response was both unprofessional and unacceptable. The attitude of the reception staff further added to the poor experience. They were consistently unhelpful, dismissive, and appeared uninterested in assisting guests. Each interaction felt like an inconvenience to them rather than an opportunity to provide service. Overall, Lykia Botanika failed to meet even the most basic expectations of hospitality, cleanliness, and customer service. For the price paid, we expected a minimum standard of care and professionalism — none of which were delivered. I would strongly advise others to avoid this hotel until significant improvements are made to both management and staff conduct.

Our experience at Lykia Botanika was unfortunately very underwhelming and frustrating. From the moment we arrived, there were consistent issues that made the stay far from enjoyable. Firstly, the cleanliness throughout the hotel was a major concern. There was constantly food left in the hallways leading to our rooms, sometimes sitting for days before being cleaned up. This gave the whole place an unkempt and unhygienic feel. Housekeeping was also extremely poor. We had to call reception every single day around 4pm just to get someone to clean our room — which often still looked untouched afterward. When I raised this with the receptionist, they unhelpfully claimed the room had already been cleaned and even blamed us for its condition, despite the fact that we had just returned and hadn’t even unpacked. The reception staff were generally rude and unwelcoming. Anytime we asked a question or needed assistance, we were met with unenthusiastic, dismissive attitudes as if we were inconveniencing them by simply asking for help. Overall, I would not recommend staying here. For the price we paid, we expected at least basic hospitality and cleanliness — neither of which we received.

It was really nice holiday. Great service, super animation team, well located and fabulous around the hotel with lots of green scenery. Food was OK. Unfortunately the hotel has a big issue with house keeping, rooms looks old and dirty, tables and chairs in restaurant with sticking out paint, even sofas in lobby/reception covered with stains.

Great location. Very nice food, plenty of choice for every taste, though deserts are not always best. We had to try 4-5 cakes to find one or 2 we liked. Turkish night food was fantastic! Should have made some of this food every day. Good mocktails. Fantastic spa and treatments, highly profesional staff who knows their job very well. Various entertainment during the day and in the evening. Mini disco was great fun for children. While for adults was wierd choice of music for international crowd, only Turkish holidaymakers enjoyed themselves with dance. But couple of shows were trully great - Turkish night and comic male battle. Big main swimming pool, great slides in children's pool. Beach is a bit rundown with sunloungers and pier. But in general nice, pebbly and quiet water during the day. Good watersports. Polite reception and bellboys. Those are matching 4 star hotel. Very dissapointed with cleaning. Nobody cleaned bathroom for whole 7 days. Only floor in the room was kind of wiped 2 or 3 times during whole stay. The smell of mould everyone complaining is true. I had to go hunt for towels myself and no shower gel was replaced. Made complaints and received only some of the service, such as towels and odd bits of shower gel amd shampoo. While bathroom still wasn't cleaned. They arranged nicely old bedding - didn't change it, moped the floor in the room and put 1.5 litre of water instead of topping up minibar. It is all caused a huge stress and ruined relaxed holidays. And toilet paper shortage was so outrageous, first time in my life I had to go to the shop to buy toilet rolls myself while staying in a hotel. And yes, you have to pay for internet about 2 euro per day. And only one person can login to internet. So each of the family should pay 2 euros each.

Good value for money, lots to do for kids with 4 pools! And water Slides and a lovely spa for adults! Kids can go to the spa to! Food and drinks available all day! Breakfast 7.30-10.30am snack bar 12-5pm ( pizza, chips, chicken nuggets, burgers salad, soft drinks) lunch at 12.30-2.30pm dinner 7pm. Best of all kids club has a really friendly staff member Melissa who entertains and keeps the children happy with her lovely nature. Open throughout the day! You can leave your kids here and go off without any worries! I highly recommend this resort!
