Does the hotel in Turkey actually have an à la carte restaurant, and is it worth booking if the main buffet is already good?

Based on 1 discussion with 9 participants · Last activity: 12 days ago

TL;DR

Recent guest reports conflict: in early July some said the à la carte restaurant was not operating, but by July 9 others had visited and said the food was very good. The main buffet is generally considered satisfying, though the selection is smaller than in 2024 and beef is not always available.

What the community said

The latest report says guests were able to dine at the à la carte restaurant: the food was very good, but it felt more like a nice extra than a must-book standout venue.

A day earlier, guests were still mainly asking about the main restaurant, suggesting that the buffet remains the primary dining option for most travelers rather than the à la carte venue.

On July 6, guests reported that the à la carte restaurant was listed in the hotel concept but did not seem to be operating in reality. If this matters to you, it is worth confirming on arrival with guest relations.

As of July 4, the main restaurant was still considered tasty and sufficient, but repeat guests noticed that the overall selection had become smaller compared with the 2024 season.

The snack bar menu was reduced by late June: guests reported that the soup, dessert of the day, and hot dog were removed, and there were fewer sandwich options. This matters if you plan to rely on snacks outside the main buffet.

Meat options got mixed reviews: one guest said kebabs and patties were always available, and beef could still be found if you checked the buffet carefully. In practice, you are unlikely to go hungry, but the meat selection may feel limited.

Earlier feedback said previous seasons had excellent lamb almost every day, while this year the meat offering felt weaker. Even so, some travelers still described the overall food as good and varied enough.

Some guests did not rush to book the à la carte option because they were still happy with the main buffet and kept finding new dishes to try each day. One recurring downside was that grilled meat could be a bit tough.
