Saturn Palace Resort

The hotel is smaller and less organized that the neighboring hotel resorts. Parking was off site, back a small path near the maintenance and was in a public are so there is no security. Rooms were ok, standard but worn from much traffic. The food and beverage selection was excellent, there were many separate locations to eat and snack. Reception needs help for check in, took forever to get a simple answer. I booked a sea view and got a side room looking into the back roads with a glimpse of the sea. The compound is a sort of an angle L shape so that we were looking onto another property. The pools and such are close together, it’s tightly organized. Probably the best was the choices for children including water park and slides. Beach area was standard, boardwalk bar is great but needs some attention from staff. The one lifeguard, he was bald and dark tanned older gentleman was so kind and helpful, always had a good word and a laugh. All in all a good stay, enjoyable staff, friendly and fast service from employees who go out of their way to help.

We are on the last night of our 11 night stay at Saturn Palace. We are really disappointed to be leaving tomorrow and have already been looking at dates to return later in the year. From beginning to end we have had a fun, relaxing, stress free family holiday. As previous reviews state its the staff who make this place special. Whatever the management are doing to keep their team happy and motivated please keep doing so as I have never been to a hotel where every person working genuinely seems to want to help in whatever way they can. We arrived late and had a problem with our room key which was fixed really quickly by the man showing us to our room. We booked a VIP whirlpool terrace room which was immaculately cleaned and restocked every day by the friendly and hard working housekeeper. We had such beautiful views over the pool and the sea and it was a luxury to have a whirlpool bath on our terrace with a drink at the end of a hard day sun bathing! We felt it was worth paying the extra. We really enjoyed the food here with so many different foods at the main restaurant and the kiosks around the hotel. We aren't very adventurous foodies but there were plenty of meats, kebabs, casseroles, curry, pasta, chips, nuggets, burgers etc and there always seemed to be vegetarian options and fish dishes too. The desserts are the best we've experienced on an all inclusive and they don't use the clear jelly stuff on all of the cakes like we've always experienced in Turkish hotels before. They have ice cream throughout the day and in the main restaurant for dinner. Drinks are also great, beer from the bar is Tuborg and there are cans of Efes in the mini fridge. There is a large selection of cocktails, wine, soft and hot drinks etc and I really enjoyed the ice coffee (with a baileys thrown in after 2ish). The pools are large with plenty of sunbeds, despite whatever time we ventured down we could find several poolside together. Towel exchange is quick and easy from the spa next to the indoor pool which we used a few days early on during our stay as the outdoor pools were very cold, but we could see maintenance staff monitoring the temperature and it was heated slightly making it a little more enjoyable. The pool bar staff work so hard bringing drinks to your sunbed throughout the day. There are also snacks like pizza, burgers, cakes, ice creams coming round the poolside which was a lovely touch. Also the Customer Relations team come round most days to catch up and see how everything is going and if there are any problems, and from what I heard they sort problems very quickly. The only issue we had was the air conditioning unit is controlled centrally and due to the time of year was only on fan mode which was bearable, however that was switched off a few nights as some guests felt the hotel was cold. We spoke with reception and tried to explain that these guests could just turn off the fan from their room (or there is even an option to have heating). I don't thin

Very very good hotel and the staff absolutely made it and would rather them higher if I could. Location. There is a mall pretty much opposite or a short walk to more which is well worth it. A lot more shops at other end of resort which probably necessitate a taxi for most Food A la carte restaurants were ok but nothing special. Pool restaurant upstairs was very good and no need to book (only open at night). Snack bars good but inconsistent Drink Alcohol was hit and miss on quality but it's AI so just drink more lol. Cocktail bar was very good but only open till 10pm Aircon Worked very good in the room and main restaurantbut almost non existant in the hotel main areas and bar Staff Superb. Couldn't do enough for you. Had an issue with room. Fixed it. Always bringing drinks to you at pool side etc etc Room Bed wasn't the best but certainly not the worst. Had a family room with 2 bedroom and enough space for 2 adults and 2 teenagers comfortably. Mini bar filled daily. Aircon good and shower nice and powerful Pools Good pools but a bit more crammed in than other hotels I've been too. Good but not brilliant slides and beach was almost part of the hotel so easy to come and go Extras Coffee shop is superb and the guy in there makes a superb coffee and is really friendly. Funfair also a nice addition for the kids Overall a really good holiday but I'd try a different hotel next time as some others along Lara Beach stretch looked more spectacular (although probably more expensive too!)
