Dobedan World Palace Hotel ''Ex Brand Alva Donna World Palace ''

Гарний готель у чудовому місці! Відмінне харчування, все навколо чисто і красиво, крім старих номерів:(

We are just on our way home, we have really enjoyed our time here. The hotel is beautiful and very well kept and clean. We upgraded our room to a swim up room with minimal effort and the room was beautiful and spacious for the three of us. The food was good I wouldn’t say out of this world but we managed to find something to eat at every meal. The entertainment was very good and was enjoyed very much every night. The staff are very helpful and can’t do enough for you. Spout out to the watersports guys and the spa staff that really made up feel welcome and taken care of. To the negatives: This hotel is very much catered to Russians with very little English spoken and communication could sometimes be difficult but we got there. No la a crate meals offered during stay which is a norm with every hotel I have stayed at previously. Also the fire alarm was going off a lot especially at 6am.

First of all, I would like to extend extra thanks to Mr. Murat at the reception, and to Mr. Mustafa and Mr. Tunay from the restaurant staff. Overall, our stay at the hotel was good. Our room was a superior type and was quite adequate, especially the bed was comfortable. However, I would like to mention that during the last two nights, we noticed a smell similar to drain odor coming from the air conditioner. After ventilating the room and turning it back on, the smell didn’t return. Apart from that, the room was quite good. Regarding the food, the barbecue section was particularly excellent. However, the meat in the stews was quite tough and not very tasty, to be honest. The dessert buffet was also very good. The breakfast was quite satisfying as well. However, I would suggest changing the type of sausage that is served. As for alcohol, the variety of rakı was particularly impressive and good. However, when we asked for melon or cheese while drinking rakı by the sea in the evening, we were charged extra. I believe at least a small amount of melon or cheese should have been available, or no extra charge should have been applied. Regarding the cocktails, I can only say they were cocktails in name. They were very poorly made. They use a brand called Gordon’s or GMG for gin. Bottled beer was only available in the lobby; other bars used draft beer. As for Starbucks, I waited in line for 30 people. It can get very crowded at times. However, it was a good idea to have it. The only thing is, I found its location quite odd. It shouldn’t have been placed next to the adult pool. The adult pool is supposed to be quiet and peaceful, but it wasn’t due to the Starbucks. The adult pool is only in name an adult pool. Children enter, and families with babies are present. We complained about this several times, but the staff didn’t deal with it directly; instead, they called somewhere else. Apparently, customers have been getting into fights and causing trouble. When I asked the staff why there were no umbrellas on the pier, I got the same response. I was told that people fight and argue to reserve spots. Several staff members also mentioned that the quality of the guests has declined this year. I can’t comment on that. However, after experiencing an argument with a lady who claimed a sunbed as hers, I understood. I have no issues with the hotel itself, but the guests were predominantly Russians, Slavs, and people from Turkic republics. Sometimes, after announcements in Russian, there wasn’t even an announcement in Turkish. As an expat living in Malta, my spouse and I felt like foreigners in our own country. I suppose, due to their large numbers, the Russians were particularly rude. There were many tourists who didn’t understand the concept of waiting in line. These are not related to the hotel, so I can’t say anything about that. However, I can say that the few Turkish guests we met were in agreement with us on this. In short, I was satisfied with the hot
