Lykia Botanika Beach Fun & Club - All Inclusive

Spent the last week here, I was a bit nervous after reading some of these reviews. Brilliant place. Food was great (lots of choice), Staff were amazing, I'm one of those people that is normally quite critical, but I loved this place. Was really chilled. Rooms were ok, we had a family room I think it was on the side that hasnt been redone, but it was alright (clean/tidy/decorated), it was a base camp for us, and we were out most of the time. Maids were there daily. I previously read in other reviews of smoking/flies and wifi. I'll address them to those also offput by the previous reviews. In regards to smoking, Im a non smoker and didnt have any issue. There is smoking on the outside restaurant but no different to pub gardens in the UK, if it bothers people that much, indoors is available and has air conditioners. In the bar areas again, no issues. They do sell Hookahs which is the only possible thing I can think of that could clear/cloud up a bar (under the cover) No flies on any of the food that I saw in any of the restaurants. Loved the food if Im honest. Wifi.. ok.. its not great. Patchy and drops out, and was unavailable for a day or so in the pool bar (shrugs all round). They probably could sort this out quite easily by separating the wifi routers channels. or rebooting the routers when issues arise. I only had 2 real issues. One was the tiling around the pool. I wear sliders, and getting around the pool be prepared to be like bambi on ice, you slip. alot. Theres no way to be cool when you do slip. Its an accident waiting to happen. If you dont wear footwear expect it to be walking on lava (its soooo hot and unbearable) even getting from the pool to your sliders... Easily resolved by a matting that goes all the way around the pool. Second issue was the reserving of sunbeds. Everyone knows the score here. It also could be resolved by staff checking and leaving a note, if they dont return within an hour then towels removed. All in all a great place.

Lykia is the best place I've ever visited the entertainment team and the people there are lovely and so friendly they always try to keep u busy which I love about it. I would definitely visit again it was so much fun and the night club was excellent

I have been there with my friend. It was a very good holiday. The animation team was perfect. Especially Directrice Bilgen and Sedat was great. Chefs and waiters were great too. Chef Ozan and waiters Murat and M. Ali were very kind. Anyway everything was good. Thanks for everything.. pool games and evening show soo good.. And resepticion was good. The tourist people is perfect.. everything was really good.

The hotel was below the standard of what we were expecting – apparently 4*. Rooms: original room was crowded with the four beds and the shower was too low to walk in without ducking. We asked to move rooms and the second was better. Pools: Okay, but crowded. Sun Loungers: Usual story, only if you're up at 8am and reserve one will you have any chance. Restaurant and Food: Mixed quality, always busy, never felt relaxed due to the number of people running around like headless chickens. Staff: Helpful (mainly russian speaking) but not all good at speaking English＞ Amenities: Tennis court with basketball net, run down. Hotel guests: Mainly russian, very few English in comparison. Private beach: Cocktail bar was poorly ran, not much choice, food was okay, beach sun loungers always taken, pebbly sea with waves, good sunset. 5-10 minute walk path to beach: probably the best bit of the whole experience, diverse wildlife and jungle feel, nice in the evening. Pool bar: great rose wine, watered down Efes beer in small glasses, badly made cocktails, good measures in spirits, good staff. Noise levels: High. This is not a quiet hotel. Busy in all areas. Entertainment: Good evening shows, fun pool activities (though the music is too loud at times when there's no activities). Distance to Fethiye: 30 minute taxi. The hotel next door (5 minute walk), Club Tuana is ten times more exclusive, posher, cleaner, bigger, better. (we visited one evening as our relatives were staying there).

Family holiday - 2 adults & 2 children Rooms - good size, clean, tidy & fresh towels. Pools - good size, slides & baby pool - all day entertainment with yoga, boccia, beach volley, water gym, water polo & air rifle. Beach - Pebbles/stones in the first part of getting in the sea 🌊 however there is a Pier with steps to get in or dive into the sea. Beach Sandy-ish by sun beds, bar food, water sports - we did a 7 island boat trip which was brilliant 3 stops for swimming / snorkelling & able to Scuba dive too for extra, clear water, lots of fish & able to snorkel in the caves. There is a great nature walk to the beach (5 mins) with frogs, crabs, moor hens & crickets in a nature reserve. Restaurant - good variety, we were here for 2 weeks - pool bar, chips, pizza, nuggets & ice cream etc great for kids For an AI resort very little or no queues either in busy August season 🙌🙌🙌 Staff brilliant in pool bars, restaurants & reception, however always helps to know a little Turkish to break the ice - Please & Thank You etc. Nightly entertainment, kids disco & various shows & beach disco. Animation team - Berk, Varley, Lenti, & DJ Goktug were great every day. Yes as per other reviews there are other Nationalities, but no problem with any of them & to be fair all good & friendly. Been to Turkey various times & this is in our top 2 holidays. Designated smoking areas would help too for non smokers. In summary a Centre Parks within a nature reserve in Turkey with great weather & entertainment

Wow Berk & DJ Goktug made this holiday. They were so much fun. My son loved the water polo, although I would have liked more activities for older teens. Food was sooo nice with great selection everyday. Rooms basic but served a purpose. Lovely walk to the beach. Bar & restaurant staff were really nice and friendly.

We visited Lykia Botanika looking for a relaxing holiday and we definitely achieved this. The hotel was lovely and the location is perfect if you want to be away from pretty much everything. There is a private walkway to the beach which takes 2-3 minutes and there is a beach bar and beach snack bar. The main pool is a great size however if you go in peak season expect there to be an issue with beds. We were lucky as the hotel was relatively quiet however most of the beds are under a canopy and if you move them, the poolside attendant will make you move it back by pointing. Talking about communication, a few reviews talk about staff being unable to speak English, this is true that they do struggle but don’t buy into the “they only speak Russian and Turkish” because some of the Russian guests were also struggling. Our main frustration was the evening entertainment. Berk and the entertainment team work really hard but are let down by the fact that 6 nights out of our 10 night stay were “disco” with another 2 being karaoke and only 2 nights of entertainment being put on. This was the biggest let down of the holiday and the reason we won’t go again. Like I said though, the entertainment team were great and shared the guests frustrations. Finally, the slides were great and the poolside bar team including Engin, Burakhan and Mert were fantastic and the food is some of the best all inclusive food I’ve had and the snack bars are great.

The service staff at this facility are absolutely fantastic! They are friendly, welcoming and always do their job to a high standard. The venue is also impressive, with plenty of greenery and trees to provide a serene and peaceful a**osphere, even when it is bustling with people. The animation team has clearly put in a lot of effort to create enjoyable activities for guests too. However, there are some downsides. Mosquitoes are a real issue here, and even with protection, you are bound to get bitten. The food variety is vast, but it unfortunately lacks flavor and hygiene, with flies often landing on some dishes. The biggest problem, however, is the wifi. It barely works anywhere except the lobby, which is frustrating. Additionally, room cleaning is subpar and feels rushed, with the staff seeming to work overtime and not putting in the same level of effort as other staff members. Lastly, the bar area can become quite unpleasant in the evenings due to the heavy smell and smoke from hookahs, which is something that needs to be addressed. The strong smell and smoke emanating from the hookah can be quite overwhelming, even if you are seated in an open area. It is not just unpleasant, but also unhealthy for those around, especially if you are exposed to it for prolonged periods. Therefore, it is important for the venue to reconsider serving hookahs in regular seating areas and find alternative solutions for those who wish to indulge in this activity. Overall, while there are some downsides to this facility, the positives outweigh the negatives. The friendly staff, beautiful location, and enjoyable animation activities make for an overall pleasant experience. However, improvements could be made in terms of food hygiene, room cleaning, and wifi connectivity.
