Aqi Pegasos Club

My first stay in an all-inclusive hotel, and it was an amazing experience! There were plenty of advantages: a) The daytime entertainment program was fabulous. Every day, there were fitness activities (stretching, yoga, cardio) and swimming pool fitness. In addition, there were activities for adults like water polo and various contests! b) The evening entertainment program – Each evening, you could choose from one of three shows to watch. This is a benefit of the complex of three hotels. Every hotel has its own amphitheater, and you can visit any of them, including those with swimming pools! c) The hotel offers plenty of seating in the evenings, both near the indoor and outdoor bars. d) Free games such as archery, boccia, and more. e) A wide variety of food. f) An à la carte restaurant, free to visit once per stay, offering Turkish, Italian, or Asian cuisine. g) The seaside – a 1 km private beach with a pier, and sand underfoot. Three disadvantages: a) People with allergies – The plus is that all dishes are labeled, but there have been cases where allergens were improperly indicated. I’m celiac and more aware of gluten-free restrictions than the cooks. Almost all meat was prepared with gluten, including all sauces. There were no gluten-free soups available. There is a gluten-free stand, but it only offers seeds, bread, and pudding. Gluten-free cakes were available upon request, but they didn’t have cheesecake during my whole stay, so my only dessert options were tiramisu, pudding, or nothing. You can ask for gluten-free pizza (only with tomato) or pasta. For breakfast, gluten-free pancakes were available, but I noticed they used the same pan as for wheat pancakes... . It's a pity that even fries couldntt be gluten-free (they fried them in the same place as breaded snacks (in spite of availabity of two different "pots" - one could be for fries, one for breaed snacks..). All in all, this hotel is better than one where there are no gluten-free options. As I understand the gluten-free products and awaraness is limited in Turkey. I hope it will be better and I could came back in a few years. b) Road to the town – 2,5 km from the town, good for a walk, but you have to walk on the pavement by the loud road... pollution and noise. c) Rooms could use renovation, but everything was cleaned daily :)

This is our second visit to this hotel and the reason is the location and of course the fabulous staff. We arrived early morning and the reception staff were expecting us and within 10 minutes we were settled in the rooms. We travelled as a family of 6 and needed 2 family rooms. The rooms were always clean and tidy. There is plenty to do in the hotel as it is spread across the three hotels. The sea is amazing, very clear and the beach kept clean. Great selection of food in the morning, lunch and night with speciality theme nights. We didn’t try the a la carte with the girls all being fussy eaters. The entertainment is varied and again in the three hotels each night. Visit the shops in the hotel they are always happy to chat, the man in the shop next to the lobby bar is a lovely guy and very interesting to chat with. The kids got all their presents and AirPods and charge leads from him. Special mention to Ata in the main restaurant always on hand and nothing was too much trouble. My old friend Adnan in the Buddha bar, always one more drink, visit around sunset for some amazing photos and a few drinks. And Gökhan from the Spa, great to talk too and helped when our youngest was unwell. We visited Isas across the road to watch the football and back for a full English breakfast, don’t be put off when you get there it is a small cafe but the guys in there are so friendly and welcoming. We visited Avsallar and Side both worth a visit with plenty of shops and cafes. We will be back again to this fabulous hotel. One tip if there is something you are not happy with at the hotel speak to reception and they will resolve it best they can and take the Wi-Fi if you do not have a data plan it works across the three hotels and is good enough to stream movies.

I can’t explain how much we enjoyed our stay. There are no negatives. The facilities are incredible, the staff are next level. If you’re thinking on your next trip don’t hesitate. Turok in the restaurant and the rest of the staff couldn’t do enough for us and remembered us on our last visit 2 years ago. Krystyna in the activities department was amazing and had a wonderful experience in Archery. Our rooms were always immaculately cleaned and the staff could always be seen cleaning no matter the hour. Everyone was so helpful and the Spa staff were brilliant. Tui reps and kids club are out of this world. Words can’t do this place justice. A* all the way p.s. the evening entertainment WOW!

This hotel is amazing we’ve had the most fabulous time. We came 2 years ago and were amazed the staff remembered us and couldn’t do enough for us. I have allergies and Gökhan looked after us making sure I had available gluten free meals and was ok. The facilities are amazing the room and the hotel is kept clean and the staff are friendly not a bad word to say. Would absolutely return again in the future.

The best bar at the Pegasos Royal hotel is definitely Adnan’s Buda bar! Great service, friendly atmosphere, and perfectly mixed drinks – this place is the heart of it all. Nnnllllllllllllllllllkkkkklkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk

This is my first time in this hotel. I love the entertainment especially Buse, which organizes the best games in Darts and is the best dancer at DJ Performance ❤️. I hope that if I come here next year I will meet her too, she is a very good and warm person.
