Lonicera Resort

Just returned from Lonicera premium having spent a week there with 2 adults and 4 kids. We are a British family and travelled with Jet2. Hotel - the hotel is really clean and the staff are great. There are many different nationality guests when we visited and some of the staff didn't understand English too well. We found ordering food at the snack bar frustrating as our orders were often wrong or didn't come at all despite actually pointing out the food on the menu to them. This was in the minority though. We arrived late at night, around 2am and the staff were expecting us. We got offered some food and they upgraded our room to a family room which was fantastic. On a few occasions the staff were complaining to me that they didn't receive tips. I tried to explain, as an all inclusive resort, it's unlikely people are walking around with cash in their pockets. Still, I found this unusual. Food - loads of options and themed nights. I have two extremely fussy kids who struggled to eat. They don't appear to cater for the British too well. But to be fair we were in the minority. Adults done ok though. Plenty of options if you are willing to try different things. Plenty of salad and veg etc... the desserts looked amazing but not really out thing. There was fruit available too. During the day. The snack bar was the best for our fussy eaters. There is ice cream available all day and water melon/ melon to help yourself too. Drink - Efes on tap, plenty of cocktails, very generous. Wine was also available. Kids slush and cocktails. The fridges were well stocked with bottled water and you can help yourself 24/7 to bottled water throughout the hotel. Entertainment - we thought it was brilliant. Some nights were a bit poor with bingo dragging on two hours but we also had a Rave, foam party, street dancers, Turkish dancing, magic show and stunt show. The downside which is not the hotels fault was the heat and humidity. It was borderline unbearable for me. I would recommend taking handheld electric fans. One night in July was 36 degrees and 9pm with no breeze. Awful when you have been in the sun all day, showered and changed into nice evening clothes. Kids club wasn't great. I wouldn't expect much from this facility and is aimed at younger children. It was empty most days. We found ourselves on a night watching the entertainment and heading inside under air conditioning, playing cards and having good family time without devices. Beach - there is a nice little private beach at the bottom of the hotel. We only spent a few hours there. It was a bit rocky but the sea was amazing to swim in. Pools - there was 3 pools. One large pool, a mini water park for younger children and 3 slides for bigger kids. Our 4 kids spent 6 days in these pools and never moaned once. We would be there 10am til 6pm and I'd have to drag them out. Lonicera world hotel - there is access to the other hotel over the road with a larger water park and more entertainment, amusements, pools, bowling etc .. bit there was a lot more to spend money on. I personally found the place a bit too full on. There was many guests there and felt overcrowded and overwhelming with 4 kids. We much preferred the lonicera premium. What is near by? - plenty of shops, bags, footy kits, clothes and shoes. Not many restaurants. There was a fun little karaoke bar which we went too one night. Other - WiFi was free and decent but found it only allows so many devices to connect per room. They provide towels and most days it was a struggle to get 3 or 4 sunbeds together unless your one of 'those' who gets up early to put one down. Overall I personally wouldn't come back. But that is purely down personal circumstances. My kids wouldn't eat the food, it was too hot on a night and I like to visit different places. But don't let that put you off. We had an amazing time and don't regret going at all!

Absolutely stunning hotel, and beautifully located. We were wowed from the moment we stepped into the lobby. Rooms are a brilliant size, especially for families, with lots of storage space! The only downside to our room was that the bathroom walls were paper thin and you could hear absolutely everything going on in the bathroom next door. Lobby was stunning and smelt amazing. There were also so many seating areas to choose from. Drinks were fab and the staff were extremely helpful. The all inclusive food was good, but does get repetitive after a while but I find this everywhere :) Pools were beautiful, and one of the factors that made us choose this hotel! Unfortunately when we came though, despite the beautiful weather, all of the pools were absolutely freezing cold! Our water loving toddler made it into the pool just once for the whole duration of our holiday, and even then it was for just 5 minutes. I’m not sure if this was due to it being slightly out of season, but this definitely did impact our holiday as we do usually spend a lot of time in and around the pool. There were plenty of sunbeds around the pool, and I absolutely loved the double sunbeds which were perfect for families. Evening entertainment was fantastic! Loved that we could use the other Lonicera hotels, the soft play was a great addition for our little one! Local area… this was a big factor for us and probably the main reason that we won’t be returning. Despite the wonderful hotel and grounds, the local area was tiny and we could walk around it entirely in 15 minutes. We walked for miles each way down the main road but there was nothing. This is great if you like a quiet resort type holiday, but if you like to have the option of bars, restaurants and shops you may want to consider staying elsewhere. Despite this, we had a wonderful time and would definitely recommend this hotel to couples and families that would like a quiet and peaceful stay!

This hotel is the cleanest and friendliest we have ever stayed at. Staff were friendly and went out of their way to help. Food was excellent and different choices every day of our 10 day stay. The room was perfect and cleaned daily. The Spa was also excellent. The turkish bath was our introduction and was so good that we booked a series of massages during our stay. These made our holiday so relaxing. We will definitely be returning.

Great hotel. Rooms fine and clean everyday. Everything is at a high level, food and drinks. Very friendly staff and employees, especially the gentleman who worked at the market and the shisha shop. I can recomend this hotel for everone who wants spend a good time with family or friends.

It's not a bad hotel, but if the name is "Lonicera Premium 5 stars Ultra All Inclusive," it does raise some expectations. Without all these extras, I would say it's a good four-star hotel. However, it's hard to find anything premium or ultra. Everything is normal and adequate. On the plus side, the hotel is new and intimate, and the room is nice but cheaply furnished. There is only water in the fridge, toiletries are provided once for the entire stay, as is the tea. There aren't even any cups or glasses. The rooms are theoretically cleaned, but aside from the water in the fridge, it's hard to notice any changes in the room "after cleaning." The food is cafeteria-style; no one will go hungry, but there are no culinary delights. Similarly, the alcohol is exclusively local, and the cocktails are syrup-based. The wine is very poor, but the beer saves the day in the hot weather. Guests have access to a rocky beach near the hotel and a pool. Because the hotel mainly hosts Russian-speaking and Polish-speaking tourists, all the spots are occupied from the early morning. The animations are weak. However, the service standard in the restaurant and bars is very good! With the all-inclusive package, you can use the hotels of the same chain next door. There, you will also find a large, sandy, clean beach, densely populated with sun loungers.
