Armella Hill Hotel

PRO: -clean and large rooms -food generally diversified (breakfast could use some work) -staff was friendly, smiling and always trying to help -the beach and pool arena with enough sunbeads, shutellbus came on time -AC working in rooms, daily cleaning ,minibar refilled daily, clean hotel can't comment on the exterior because to be honest it's not up to them - nice Turkish evening menu, minishow with ice cream - recomand Green Canyon Manvgat trip , Antalya Awuarium ( face museum , Ice room) CONS: - small auditorium - does not handle sound volume properly, we waited for an hour for the Turkish evening show to start (it was scheduled to start at 21:30 it started at 22:30), during all this time the sound volume was deafening and the show was disappointing which is why we did not stay until the end ( the best national themed show I have seen was in Egypt) - the posonal from the pool bar should be a bit more attentive with all guests and offer the same prepared drink ( they served 2 pinacolada in a way to some guests who were putting pictures on Insta, I liked the look of it I asked for one too and obviously sincer it wasn't for taking their picture on social media I got something completely different in terms of look)

Wonderful please ,great service, delicious food great atmosphere. I recommend it to anyone who wants to relax .Close proximity to the sea, great service on the beach. easy communication with larger cities. great organization of sightseeing trips.

We travelled as a group of 7 friends in our 20s, and although many of the guests at the hotel were a bit older we still had a great time! Most of the guests at the hotel were German so many of the staff spoke in German, but we still didn’t have a problem communicating in English with them like some of the other reviews I read suggested. The hotel itself was pleasant, drinks and food were good for what we paid! There is a snack bar that’s open all night which always had plenty of sandwiches, cakes and breads if you got hungry. Mini fridge in the room was refilled every day with soft drinks which was a bonus. Staff were friendly, we had an amazing waiter who served us both at dinner and for drinks in the evening. We were only there a few days but he was great, remembered what all of us would order to drink with dinner every night! There are a lot of staff that come up to you trying to get you to go to the evening entertainment and to go out on the ‘disco tour’, as well as trying to get you to go to their spa which was quite annoying at times but they were always nice and welcoming. The hotel was close to the beach and had a shuttle which ran regularly. At the beach there was also food and drinks included and lots of sun beds. Plenty of water sports places on the beach…quite expensive but fun! There were shops down the road which was very handy. There was also plenty of opportunity for excursions. We went to the land of legends, and rafting/zip lining/quad biking…both of which I recommend! The rooms were really clean, the only thing I would recommend is that if you want a balcony ask when you check in as not all of our group had balconies in their rooms. Check in wasn’t very organised but granted we were a big group with 4 separate rooms. They ask you to email them a copy of your hotel voucher when you arrive so make sure you have this to hand or have a printed copy you can give them. Overall I’d definitely recommend the hotel, it was really reasonably priced when we went in April, we were very lucky with the weather for the time of year I think, but for what we paid I don’t think we could have asked for much more!

Great week spent at this hotel. The staff are all extremely hard working and go out of their way to help. The language barrier wasn't a problem most understood basic English. I had read reviews that said most of the guest were German and the staff didn't understand English this was not the case.

Best value for money hotel I have stayed in. To get the quality for what we paid was amazing. Relaxed ambiance clean, modern and high quality built environment with lovely pool area. Rooms as good as we have been in anywhere. Shower great, bed comfortable, air con functional and mini bar fridge very useful. Balcony pleasant. Food was unbelievable for the cost. Obviously there are compromises, so get there early as not everything is replaced once gone. Always grilled meat and fish, just not a massive choice of this. Snacks always available. Wine very palatable. Cocktails low quality e.g. no real mint in Mojito, but can’t complain for what we paid. Beach with minibus (much more regular than half hour advertised time) was a massive positive. Food at the lovely beach as good as at hotel, which we were really grateful for. You can walk for miles on the beach (we were out of season so not bathing weather). It does cater mostly for German guests (which is usually a good sign of quality), but we were always understood and staff were polite, efficient and hard working. Just some things to note. Check in was difficult, because we didn’t expect to have to email the original booking to them. He wouldn’t accept being shown the booking on an app (loveholidays), or an email of the screenshot of the app booking. I have never been asked to do this anywhere else and I couldn’t find it among the plethora of follow on emails you get. We assumed they would already have it. Just find the email in advance and be prepared to send it using their wifi. For Brits, bring some tea bags. There is a kettle and small cups in the room, but no English Breakfast Tea. Large mugs would useful as well - as with many continental hotels. There isn’t much in the area and you do will focus around the hotel, unless you travel into Side. We had a car so it wasn’t a problem. Side old town is lovely, so is Aspendos if you like antiquity and Antalya is drivable for a lovely day out. Don’t bother with the waterfall, it is pretty scruffy. Thank you to all the staff for an amazing stay, we would love to come back in the hotter weather.
