Main building vs bungalow rooms in a Turkish resort hotel — which is better?

The main building appears to be in better condition than its age suggests: guests report that even the ‘older’ main block rooms look quite decent, with no collapsing furniture, broken tiles, or mold.

Family rooms with bunk beds are described as very cramped and noticeably more budget-like than expected for this hotel: the bunk bed is placed right by the entrance, and the window is very small.

The hotel has connection rooms — effectively two-room options made from two adjoining rooms with an internal shared door. These have been confirmed in at least Buildings B and C.

Most Family Pool Rooms have only one balcony; the children’s room is a walk-through space with no window. Only a small number of these rooms face the neighboring Transatlantic hotel and come with two balconies.

Rooms in the main building are spacious, odour-free, and have excellent soundproofing. At check-in, different buildings may be offered initially, but staff will accommodate requests to place guests in adjacent rooms within the same building.

Avoid semi-basement rooms, which guests report can be damp. One outlier bungalow near the lift had a noticeable floor slope toward the balcony — this appears to be an isolated case, not typical of other bungalows. It is worth inspecting a few room options before settling in.

A neighbouring hotel was demolished, and some rooms may face the construction site. To avoid noise and the view, request corner rooms in Building 3 — they are the quietest. Villas/bungalows are also unaffected. In the main building, sea-view rooms partly overlook the adjacent plot; rooms in the left wing are a safer choice.

In triple standard rooms, the bed configuration is the same in both the main building and bungalows: one double bed plus one full single bed. Some main-building rooms have a large sofa bed instead of the single bed.

Bathrooms in villas are slightly larger (more space around the sink), with newer tiles; plumbing was renovated 3–4 years ago. Shower cabins are the same size in both. Regarding furniture: villas have a smaller wardrobe but a full-length mirror; main-building rooms have a larger wardrobe but no full-length mirror.

Rooms in the main building, particularly in the renovated wing, come with modern split-system AC units that run quietly and hold a steady temperature (e.g. 25°C). This is a noticeable upgrade over standard AC in other rooms. Early check-in is sometimes granted at no extra charge — worth asking at reception.

The resort has significantly more bungalows than might be listed — far more than four. Bungalow rooms are smaller than those in the main building. Guests who stayed in bungalows multiple times were satisfied, though a direct comparison with the main building is hard to make without staying in both.

Building 5 is a solid choice — guests staying there have been happy with it. The renovation date is unclear, so it's worth checking the hotel's official website for the current room condition before booking.
