Litore Resort Hotel & Spa

GREAT HOTEL GREAT FOOD GREAT STAFF...We stayed here for 9 nights from 31 October the hotel is clean the food is great with lots of choice every meal.we never tried the Alan cream options as the food in the main restaurant was that good. Reception staff very helpfull, bar staff friendly an efficient serving good cocktails and some branded spirits like Chivas regal,,jim bean,, gilbys etc. Entertainment was ok on some nights..audiences participation other nights a bit hitty missy. All in all a great holiday and a great hotel I DEFINITELY 5 STAR ...We will be back.

Lovely hotel. Rooms are cleaned well and we found the food to be lovely. Lots of variety. The hotel is on a steep hill and there is regular transport to the beach. But not to the shops. We walked down the hill and then got a taxi back for around 5 euros. Please be aware the hotel plays very loud techno and dance music till 11pm every night. Pack your ear plugs. There are slippers in the rooms but no gowns. No hair conditioner or body cream in the bathrooms either. Just a soap dispensing pump in the shower. Overall a good experience and I would come back if it wasn't for the evening noise pollution. I can't wear ear plugs as they hurt my ears.

I don't often write reviews on Tripadvisor, as I already work for a travel magazine and review on there, but I felt it important to give an honest review on here as we were all very disappointed and misled by the description of this hotel. The hotel isn’t bad in appearance, looks very palatial on first entry, but it’s definitely NOT a 5 star. At best, it’s a lower-end 4 star. It describes itself as “ultra all-inclusive”; this is NOT ultra all-inclusive. The drinks are poor, only a couple of branded spirits (Jack Daniels and Gordons Gin) and cocktails were extremely watery. Ultra All Inclusive generally means there are no extra meal charges, and no time restrictions on food. Other than a couple of free meal choices in each of the A La carte restaurants, all other choices were chargeable. You are only allowed ice cream (Cornettos, ice lollies etc) for 2 hours a day. This is from the Patisserie area, after the 2 hours, the refrigerated unit gets wheeled back to the shop and you have to pay 2 euros. The food in the main restaurant is pretty much the same every day, although there's plenty of it. We noticed that the food was constantly cold, we even experienced 'hot' crab cakes straight out of the deep fat fryer, still frozen in the middle. Turkey seems to be their meat of choice, done in various different ways! But it got to the stage where we genuinely didn't look forward to going for meals. If you are looking for a relaxing pool area, this is not for you. The pool is very clean, but by no means huge, and there are definitely not enough sun beds for the amount of people staying here. Many of the parasols were broken and in poor condition. We felt this hotel was very geared up for the ‘younger generation’, with loud 'garage/techno/rave' music drumming out all day on huge speakers around the pool area. We are by no means old, but many people remarked the same, feeling that they were driven to wearing earplugs or having to go to the beach to get away. Be aware, the tiles around the pool are very slippy. We saw several accidents while we were there. We booked an upgraded standard side Sea view room, but we had a huge hedge in front of our balcony (we were on the lobby level), because there was a communal patio area straight in front of our balcony. We noticed people stood on the patio, looking straight into our room. We could see the sea if we stood on tiptoes! The room next to us had a jacuzzi on their patio, but they had no privacy from us as there is no dividing wall, just a 2 foot hedge, so we could see straight on to their patio! The bedrooms are a decent size, although tired and dated looking. The cleaners were lovely, but room cleaning left a lot to be desired. Bins in the room weren’t emptied, glasses used from the day before were left untouched. There were stains on the duvet cover. Our mini bar (which is free) wasn’t filled up each day. The hotel rep asked us if everything was ok, so we mentioned all these things and was told they would be sorted and we would be able to change rooms, but they weren’t and to be honest, we got tired of having to keep asking about it! Bear in mind that there are no toiletries in the bathrooms. For something that advertises itself as Ultra all-inclusive, I would have expected the usual mini shampoo, conditioner, soap etc. instead they have a dispenser on the shower wall, which is a universal-type liquid soap to be used for everything and another dispenser by the sink. The hotel description says it has bathroom cosmetics. By that, they mean the dispensers. Germans and Russians are definitely favoured here, other than another couple, we were the only Brits. English is not widely spoken in the hotel, we made use of 'Google translate' for nearly everything. I can't say we were treated badly, we weren't, I would say we were more 'overlooked', as has been mentioned on several other reviews. The on-site shop near the patisserie is not expensive, which was a nice surprise, and has some basic necessities if needed. There is a great tractor-type transport to take you to the beach, as it is a VERY STEEP walk up and down! It runs regularly, every 10 minutes. Over all, this hotel has the potential to be so much better, but the management clearly are not interested in sorting out the basic problems, as can be seen by previous reviews going back a few years. We were at a loss as to its high rating, and can only assume that people have never stayed in a proper 5* hotel before. If you go with the expectation that this is a lower end 4* hotel, you'll be fine.

This is the best hotel we have been so far. Food is delicious, staff great, drinks open all the time. Many thanks to Malibu, Ali, and all the staff from pool bar especially and from each bar and restaurant. Animation was wonderful, many activities on the pool, you can't stand and do nothing. The shows are lovely as well, each night something different. You can book activities outside the hotel. And DON'T PASS THE TURKISH NIGHT. Book it faster, you will not regret.

Myself and my missus have really been looking forward for our stay in Litore. We had multiple friends who had stayed in the passed and loved it. They told us to ask for mehmet kaplan [reception] unfortunately when we arrived we couldn’t find him. But we were extremely underwhelmed by the welcome at reception. We thought agh it’s late. But this didn’t change the entertainment team easily the worst we have ever experienced. And we holiday a lot at least 3 times a year so we know hospitality unfortunately Litore doesn’t. The staff seem very unhappy. And this reflected in the service guests received. We spoke to some Turks who come every year and they said they would not be returning. This place has no life, the only explanation I have is they have made drastic changes and not for the better. They don’t bother with British or Irish guests, staff only focus on German or Russian. We asked for mehmet in the hotel and the staff pointed us to the bazar down the road. And he was in a restaurant called Miami we had great nights here and the best service we received the entire holiday. The service we expected in the hotel, We won’t be returning to Litore but definitely to Turkey.
