Breakfast basic as expected but no regards to hygiene, bread cut by any staff member available and then carried by hand across the restaurant to breakfast area.
The room we were allocated smelled strongly of damp, we complained and were given alternative room but although this room didn’t smell, there was no light bulbs, holes in the bedding, lumpy/dirty pillows, base of bed filthy and I was too scared to lift bottom sheet! Had to fight with the door to lock it, our friend’s room also smelled of damp and they found a frog on the wall! Staff friendly enough but again no basic hygiene with regards to food and one member of staff in particular hanging around for a tip.

The Carmina breakfast was as expected, Cheese, Ham, Olives and Crusty Bread, but only one choice of Fruit Juice. However you did have the option to buy other juice's and Full English.
The Hotel was clean and tidy, but the top sheets on the beds were only changed on arrival and departure, so not often enough. The lunchtime food was reasonable priced and fitted the bill.
The Staff were OK, depending on weather you ate here or went back after your evening meal, if you did keep yourself to yourself they only spoke when spoken to and became distant as the holiday wore on. The biggest problem was the Room. Every guest spoken to on holiday, had their own particular troubles, ours didn't have a flushing toilet, a broken front door lock and lights that either didn't work or had no covers, however this appeared not to matter as despite many complaints nothing got done. We did get offered to move rooms, but "better the devil you know" syndrome kicked in. It's such a shame the Hotel rooms are not kept up to scratch

We had a fantastic holiday at the Carmina, it was situated right at the edge of the town centre. A minutes walk away but still quiet at the hotel, the staff were great fun and very helpful, if anything was wrong they tried their hardest to put it right. The rooms were cleaned every day, and also fresh towels everyday. The pool was always clean, no need to buy lilo's as majority of guest's left theirs for the use of next guests. Jimmy and staff kept you entertained throughout the holiday. It would not have been the same without them.
The meals at the hotel were good value for money and Jimmy would always do you a good deal. Didn't want to leave and can't wait to go back again. If you go with the intentions of enjoying yourself then you will. Would recommend this hotel to anybody, it has something for all ages.

We arrived in the middle night at the Carmina Hotel, the receptionist gave us a warm, welcoming smile and placed us in a lovely room looking over the pool. After a few hours sleep we ventured out to breakfast which was a simple but tasty traditional Turkish breakfast consisting of eggs, ham and cheese. The hotel offers a free bus to their private beach at Olu Deniz which we spent a glorious first day basking in the sunshine, dipping in the refreshing lake waters and drinking Efes beer to cool us down. During the time we spent on the complex the staff were absolutely wonderful, extremely attentive, always kind with full of energy and enthusiasm. We were met most days with our bed decorated with imaginative shapes made from towels and dressed with fresh flowers. One evening the bed was so beautifully decorated we were tempted to sleep on the floor as to not disturb the cleaners delightful towel creation. The owners Janine and Sirac were so lovely with their gentle, calm approach and in turn made us feel relaxed and contented during our weeks stay. We wish them all the very best and a huge thank you for a truly magical stay at the Carmina Hotel.

The Carmina is in an excellent location; central to all of the nightlife and yet far enough away so there is absolutely no noise at night. The backdrop of the bagadad mountains is superb. Being high in the mountains the temperature is slightly cooler and with a slight breeze making it much more pleasant to sit out. The rooms are large and spacious (the one I was in) and cleaned daily by the lovliest ladies you could ever wish to meet, wait until you see the amazing things that they do with the towel arrngements and flowers. Sami & Janine and the rest of the staff including, Ati Crouch, Minty and Brummie work extrememly hard to make sure that everyone is looked after, no one is left out. The food is good and with an extensive menu. We ate in quite a few times, try the T Bone steak it was lovely.Teh special menu daily is worth a try. The breakfast provided is very good, the bread is fresh and this together with boiled eggs, ham, cheese, fresh fruit and juice and coffee makes a substantial breakfast to start the day. The little extras such as bringing delicious cakes around the pool in the afternoon was naughty but nice. They have different theme nights which are good and they are working hard to bring variety to their entertainment programme. Worthy of a return visit.

We are just back from 2 weeks staying at the Carmina the staff were friendly and helpful but was a bit noisy after 1am when you are trying to get some sleep.
Our cleaner was fantastic the designs she did with the towels was amazing have some lovely photos of them Turgay and Sal were great with my son and his friend.
Also my son celebrated his 16th birthday while we were there they helped me organise some surprises for him. I recommend going to a Turkish night great food and entertainment.
Also if you if you want to eat out try Pizza Pizza up the town also Arkada's just along from the Carmina> Husan and Betty gives you a warm welcome and a hearty breakfast great evening meals as well

DO NOT go to this hotel. It was minging. If you like Blackpool and being ripped off then Hisaronu is the place for you. If not avoid it like the plague. I have been to Turkey 6 times and have vowed, after this experience NEVER to go again. The gardens were disgusting, the young male staff are only interested in any young girl that will listen to there drivel. The "clean" towels looked as if they're the same ones used since the day the apartments opened. Grey, stained and threadbear. Anyone who says different must walk around with their eyes shut or don't give a flying for the surroundings.
