Orfeus Queen Spa

We rested in this hotel with our 11-year-old daughter; it was our first time in Turkey; we chose Side for acquaintance, since a good beach is very important for us. Covid times and other events made their own adjus**ents, so we haven’t been abroad for 4 long years. The goal was not only relaxation on the beach, but also educational excursions, so we chose a 4* hotel, since we did not plan to stay in it. 1. Check-in. We arrived at the hotel early in the morning, they checked us in only at 13:00, but immediately put on bracelets, treated us to coffee and juice, there are excellent sofas in the lobby where you can sit comfortably. After breakfast we went to the beach. 2. Beach. We walk quickly, the journey took 4-5 minutes, but if we come across a cat that definitely needs to be petted, it will take a little longer. The road is not the most pleasant, as during our stay in one of the hotels there was large-scale construction work on our way. Dust, dirt, noise. There is a bus to the beach from the Orfeus Park Hotel, which is located across the road, but we did not use it. The beach ***** is large, the sand is golden, there were enough sun loungers at any time. It’s not very clean, of course, but there’s more of the vacationers’ wine here. The sea is beautiful. True, in August, for my taste, it is too warm. When entering the sea from the hotel beach there were stone slabs, we went a little to the left. For several days there were waves in which we joyfully jumped. 3. Number. Even initially, I read reviews and looked at reviews and saw that some of the rooms have a balcony into the courtyard under the roof, without air access. The manager and I booked a standard room, not an economy one, and, lo and behold, the room turned out to have a balcony facing the street. True, it overlooked the highway, and it was quite noisy. The room itself is small, the bathroom is spacious, but someone very funny came up with a window from the shower into the room. There are, of course, blinds hanging there, but everything is perfectly visible. Thank you that there is not a toilet next to the bed, but just a shower. The air conditioning worked great. 4. Nutrition. For me this is a very big problem in all hotels. There is nothing to be happy about here. The food is not tasty. And yes, everything seems to be there: meat, fish, vegetables, fruits. For breakfast, scrambled eggs, you can fry toast, there is always porridge (it just tastes terrible). The only thing that pleased me was the presence of a coffee machine at the bar in the restaurant. You can drink coffee or tea not only for breakfast. There were also delicious cakes. Quite decent for 4*. But it’s not very good for our taste, since we only like home-cooked food or from a good restaurant. And there are always some greasy dishes and cutlery. It was unpleasant. 5. Swimming pool. Quite an ordinary pool, a lot of people all the time. After lunch there is water aerobics. Foam party on Wednesday at 15:00. It was not possible to swim comfortably due to the large number of people, but overall the pool was excellent. We went to Orfeus Park several times to the pool and slides. There are only 2 slides, you can ride a couple of times. 6. Animation. Most of it takes place at the Orfeus Park Hotel. Mini disco is no longer very interesting to us, we went several times out of curiosity. There is a DJ at the hotel on Friday evenings. Also a variety of recreation. Water aerobics in the pool, beach volleyball. Overall the staff are friendly

Rested with my husband in July 2022 at the Orfeus Queen Hotel. Let's break it down into points. 1. We bought a tour with an economy room with a balcony. It turned out upon check-in that the balcony is internal and directed to the same balcony opposite. We paid extra $75 and settled in another room with a balcony overlooking the sea. 2. Decent room, double bed, comfortable. There are small cracks on the walls, it needs cosmetic repairs (the condition of the room was not so important for us). Amenities: a small refrigerator in the closet, a TV, a safe with an additional fee of $ 2 per day, soap, shower gel. There were no slippers, shampoo, toothpaste and brushes, iron. 3. Wardrobe roomy, with hangers. Balcony with two chairs and clothes dryer. 4. In our room, the shower cabin was beautiful, but not airtight, it leaked on the floor after a shower. 5. Room service was good, cleaning was done properly 6. The staff does not speak Russian well (they spoke more in English) 7. We really liked the food. Variety in abundance. There were various meat dishes, fish (for dinner, often chicken shish kebab). Many types of salad, fruits, sweets, drinks. 8. The bar worked properly, poured without problems. 9. The pool is large (140 cm deep), all the time it was possible to swim calmly from 06:00 (we managed even after 19:00, when it was impossible). 10. There are always enough sun loungers, some under the roof (the same on the beach). The beach is also good, the sea is pleasant, transparent. There is a kitchen and a bar on the beach (sometimes you could have lunch or dinner there) 11. On Fridays and weekends there were various kinds of animation. Sunday live great music and dancing, it was cool. 12. Spa services were not used, there was a free hammam and a paid massage. A small fitness room with several machines and treadmills, with a set of dumbbells. 13. The cleanliness of the hotel was always respected, the toilets were constantly cleaned. Waiters worked in the kitchen and took away dirty dishes from the table immediately. 14. The beach is within walking distance (7-8 minutes at a calm pace), also drove a bus every 15 minutes from the hotel.

He writes reviews in Polish because many Poles choose this hotel. We do not recommend this hotel! Dirt in the hotel, service so unpleasant, not speaking English anything, the only polite and nice waiter and quite English-speaking is a young boy always smiling (I don't remember his name), the alcohol bar closes at 23:40 where it is supposed to be until 00 but if you give some euro to the waiter it can suddenly bring more alcohol. The food is fresh when you go. Later, dry cheeses and cured meats that nobody mentions. The cleaning ladies clean the bathroom with your dirty towels ..., no animations and attractions for children (apparently they are in the hotel next door, but no one will inform you about it) I bought a holiday with a child, we did not get an extra bed or a cot. Wi-fi is not an agreement, there is no internet, the view from the window on the smelly sails (photo), it smells like pipes because guests can smoke on the balconies (balcony for one person and a chair) I enclose a photo of the bathroom and floor in the hall. The beach was supposed to be 300 meters and it is 600 meters. If you are going to Turkey then avoid this hotel. The worst hotel I have been to, these 4 stars, they probably gave it themselves

Unfortunately, the Orfeus Queen Spa hotel closed after the 2021 season until 06/15/2022, I bought our stay from 04/28/04/2022, we kissed the door handle at 2 am. TUI knew about the situation but did not inform us before departure. We were accommodated in a hotel across the street from Orfeus Park, which was informed by a Turkish-speaking native. We had to ask for a meal upon arrival, the accommodation took about an hour. The rooms were nothing like the DZX1, changing the room didn't help. We know the Orfeus Queen Spa hotel and we know what the standards are there, Orfeus Park differs by a head from them. We had allin so meals, drinks were good, the pool was well kept clean, unfortunately if someone would like to go to the indoor pool, there is no chance, there is no water. Lots of Germans who run like the Russians in the past. One canteen inside, the other in the "open air", everyone on the patio smoked cigarettes, while eating there was gray smoke. The waiters could call 3 dollars for bringing the ashtray.

I recently returned from vacation with my husband, we rested at the Orfeus Queen Hotel & Spa, we really liked the hotel, we didn’t even try to look for any minuses in it. We wanted a more relaxing holiday, without discos, animations. The hotel has very tasty and varied food, full of fruits. We were given a room with a balcony, the view was great. You need to walk to the sea, there are minibuses. The room was cleaned every day, brought water, changed towels. Wonderful staff who responded to any request. Vacation went just fine and too fast
