Another case: guests arriving at 10:30 AM were immediately given room 114 without waiting for the standard 2:00 PM check-in. They were first offered a room on the 2nd floor of building 1, above reception with a road view; after politely asking to switch, they received a room overlooking the hotel grounds, palm trees, and the sea in the distance.

On August 27, guests arrived at 10:30 AM, had breakfast, and requested a quiet low-floor room near reception. They were given a suitable room about 10 minutes later, although reception noted that standard check-in starts at 2:00 PM.

According to the hotel policy, arrivals before 6:00 AM require payment for an additional previous night; otherwise, early check-in is not guaranteed.
Arrival before 6:00 AM — extra night charge
On August 18, arriving guests were told that no rooms were available and were sent temporarily to Crystal Centrum in Antalya.
Crystal Centrum, Antalya
Guests arrived at 10 AM and handed over vouchers/documents, but by 14:00 were told to keep waiting, even though another couple who arrived at the same time was already checked in. At 14:20 staff claimed there were no rooms available and offered to stay overnight in a neighboring hostel until 12:00 the next day. The issue was only resolved after their travel agency intervened, after which a room 'suddenly' became available.
Relocation to neighboring hostel until travel agency intervened
After a 9-hour flight delay, check-in was pushed to the next day. Instead of the booked standard room, the hotel initially offered a smoky upgraded two-room suite with no balcony (with the option to just keep it), but the family declined. After 14:00 they were moved to a clean standard room with a balcony and sea view.

One traveler arrived at the hotel around 11 AM but only got the room at 14:30. They noted this was the first hotel with such a delay — even in Egypt check-in was usually faster.
check-in at 14:30
Other travelers ask whether check-in is strictly at 14:00 and whether guests are sometimes relocated to a sister hotel if rooms aren't ready.
If you arrive early, you can usually use the hotel facilities (pool, beach, food) while waiting for your room. Similarly, on departure day with an evening flight, guests are often allowed to keep using hotel services after checkout.
Guests who arrived at the hotel at 8 AM were offered a choice: check into an upgraded room immediately, or wait until 12:00 for their standard room. After viewing both options, they chose the earlier upgraded room.

Someone asked in practice whether early arrivals really have to wait until 14:00, or if rooms are sometimes given earlier — other guests' replies show it depends on hotel occupancy that day.
