Forum Bornova Shopping Center

Lovely resort

A pleasant stay, although not quite the 5-star experience we had anticipated. We enjoyed our stay overall, particularly the beautiful location and excellent breakfast, which offered an impressive variety of fresh and well-prepared options.That said, there were a few details that, in my opinion, prevented the hotel from feeling like a true 5-star property.When making our reservation, I specifically requested the renovated West Wing and two separate single beds, as I was travelling with my son.Unfortunately, this was not accommodated, and we were allocated a room with a partial sea view and two beds pushed together, despite having paid an additional amount for a sea-view room.The hotel staff were pleasant, although communication was occasionally challenging due to limited English. Daily housekeeping was provided, with only two small Nescafé sachets and two bottles of water replenished each day. The bathroom amenities were rather basic, with shampoo and shower gel provided in a combined dispenser and no conditioner. Some parts of the property are beginning to look a little tired and would benefit from refurbishment.The private beach is a platform-style beach rather than a sandy beach, with access to the sea via a ladder into deep water. There were certainly things we appreciated, especially the breakfast and the overall setting. However, based on our experience, I would personally rate the property closer to 4 stars than 5.
