Club Calimera Serra Palace Hotel

Brilliant hotel great service and lots to do in grounds. Very friendly staff . Good sized rooms which were cleaned daily . Spoilt for choice with food and bars aplenty. Would definitely recommend this hotel to anyone and Iwe will be back at some point next year

Fabulous hotel, food and entertainment. Great all round family holiday. Staff very friendly and welcoming. Everywhere very clean and tidy. Room service and clean towels daily. Highly recommend booking in to the Italian restaurant during your stay and booking into the spa for a fabulous treatment.

I stayed for two weeks during low season, March 25. Pros: excellent value for money, it has everything you'd expect from a large hotel. Food tasty, I am fussy but always found something I enjoyed. The gardens are beautiful, a big thank you to the gardeners. The staff are generally nice/friendly. My room cleaner did a great job and communal areas were also spotless. Cons: small indoor pool, no outdoor chillout lounge - just a dining area. No outdoor sofas or cushioned chairs on the beach or near the pools - it's mainly formal plastic seating. Couldn't get spirits on the beach which restricted me to the pool area, found this annoying. The guest relations and tour operator lobby needs to be refurbished/modernised. ANIMAL WELFARE - there's lots of cats but I didn't see any food dishes or drinking water for them. They were drinking from the swimming pools. Other hotels treat the local cats as pets and look after them really well, i.e. twice daily feeding, veterinary care and sterilisation. I think the cats at this hotel are considered street cats which made me sad. I would like to see the hotel managers give them a cat house and ensure they are cared for properly. Tui Magic Life hotels in the region are good examples to follow. Some hotels have a cat care tip box to help with the cost. 😻

Pro’s - Friendly staff, very clean hotel, wide food selection and plenty of it. Plenty of amenities and entertainment. Director access to a nice beach. We visited in March so the hotel was only at 25-30% capacity which was great (no queues for anything). Several huge pools, a water park with flumes etc. Tennis courts, basketball, a few small shops and a spa. Cons - Nothing local to the hotel. You will need to get a bus or taxi to see pretty much anything. Bus stop is a 10-15min walk, taxis are directly outside the hotel. As an indication a bus to Managvat costs around 40 Lira (80p) but be prepared to stand up. The buses are busy but it is an experience. Other info - We visited in March so very early in the season. Despite this there were still a number of trips available.

Arrived Saturday evening around 8pm and check in was really quick, taken to my room and told evening meal was until 9pm, the place is huge with a water park with slides, and many pools for swimming lots and lots of sunbeds, plenty of drinks and never had to queue up for more than 5 mins for a drink ,all the staff are great and work unbelievably hard, also 24 hours kizik bar made good use of this place, I travelled solo and love this place, my only complaint is that the beds are quite hard, everything else is great, I'm due to leave day after tomorrow but given the choice I'd stay another week.

Absolutely amazing holiday. Food was great. Rooms are fabulous. My two kids age 10 and 1 had the most wonderful time in the pools. Hakan was amazing behind the bar and entertaining my kids. They loved him. Okan was also amazing catering to my 10 year old. Thankyou Serra palace
