Is it worth booking an older beach hotel in Turkey if it is due for demolition and replacement by a luxury resort?
Based on 1 discussion with 3 participants · Last activity: 6 days ago
TL;DR
Based on recent chat reports, this kind of hotel may be operating for its final season: travelers mention dirty public areas, dated rooms, and ineffective air conditioning despite a claimed 2024 renovation. One possible plus is a sand-nourishing machine on the beach, but overall expectations should be closer to a basic 3-star stay.
What the community said
The most recent feedback is strongly negative: the property feels more like a basic 3-star hotel. Complaints include poor cleanliness in the restaurant, elevators, and shared areas, plus dated rooms that do not seem meaningfully improved despite a claimed 2024 renovation.

One notable beach detail is that, according to guests, the hotel has equipment for sand nourishment. This may affect the beach condition and shoreline surface even if many public reviews do not mention it.

There are reports that the property may be in its final year before demolition, with a luxury hotel reportedly planned on the site under the Swandor brand. For travelers, that suggests not expecting major investment in the current building or service standards.
