All the rooms are now the same standard. The hotel rating for this is also wrong on here. Its english 4 star hotel and Turkish 5 star hotel.

We moved here from the Izer hotel in torba, and what a difference.

I was in the main hotel, room 1324 on the third floor. The room was nice and spacious although my view wasnt that great, but hey.

I would of been happy to stay in this hotel for 2 weeks no problem. The staff are fab, always cleaning and very helpful, the food was great there was loads of choice. The resturant on the roof was fantastic although it can get a bit cold at night. The 24 hour bar is dangerous though lol The mini bar is also full in this hotel and its not free so if you think you might get tempted when youve had a few ask them to empty it for you.

I would recommend this hotel to everyone without a doubt :)

Our holiday was fantastic! We have stayed at this hotal on 4 occassions. The fully inclusive is great value. The staff in the restaurant are polite and will do almost anything to meet your needs.
The cleanliness of the hotel is brilliant- always polishing and sweeping etc. The location is fine you won't need to get a taxi if you want bars etc.
All members of staff are very polite,smiling and helpful.
The hairdreesers is small. I have my hair blowed dry and it has always looked great.
The entertainment is ok. Too be honest we never went to the entertainment as we enjoyed staying by the pool bar of an evening. As stated we have been here 4 years running and are due to go back in May 2010. Can't wait!

The rooms in the Asarlik Beach Hotel badly need upgraded (in 1 of our rooms the bathroom flooded every time someone had a shower)although I understand there are plans to close, refurbish and reopen as part of the Royal Asarlik. The steps down to the dining area and pool would be a problem for many with no lift. The food was good and at least all those steps worked off any excess. Staff , especially Menderes and Adem in restaurant, friendly and helpful. The poolside was fine with no problems finding shade. You can sit on the grass with only a few steps down to the sea. There isn't really any beach so not for the bucket and spade brigade. The evening entertainment was absolutely dire! We booked two gulet trips with Quiksilver down on the beach. These were very enjoyable and cheaper than through the hotel. In town you can book trips to Ephesus and Pamukele with an overnight stay. Be very careful as the hotels are dreadful.

Booked a 14 day holiday, a late flight and arrived at 03.00 to be told that check in time was 16.00 hours, no room available until that time, no one helped. We booked in the Royal Asarlik Hotel and eventually put into the sister hotel, like living in a cave. My husband is 81 and I am 78 years of age, our room was up that many steps we had to take everything out with us for the day. we were made to feel like it was impossible to get what we had booked and paid for and was told to put our complaint in writing when we got home.. No satisfaction, what a holiday, more like an endurance test, Faulty Towers must be like a breath of fresh air after our expeeriences at this hotel, never again and certainly would not recommend this hotel to anyone. Our worst holiday experience ever.

Just returned at weekend after a marvellous revisit to the Royal Asarlik Beach Hotel, we have never in all our travels ever revisited the same hotel, but we are glad we did we were not disappointed at all, we usually travel with our grandchildren but this time just went together, the service and the hospitality from all staff made it seem like a second honeymoon

We had taken some satellite boxes for the Hotel and Mehmet the manager is arranging to have them installed in the winter period which is costing 3000 euro

Just came book from the Royal Asarlik and had a fantastic time.

The hotel was lovely. the rooms were ok air con was great in rooms.

The room we had had a rubbish view and was right next to the pumps that were so bloody noisy our room number was 1319 so if you get this room ask to be moved. We ended up putting up with it as I couldn't be bothered to pack all my stuff up to move.

Food was great a good selection so much so my little boy always found something to have he is a really fussy eater. Bar staff were great no hanging around waiting to get served, and the hotel staff were so friendly they would do anything for you.

We didnt use the pool at the hotel as it was a bit to busy there so we went to the sister hotel and used that pool it was much nicer with loads of sunbeds.

We would definatley go again looking at prices for next year.

I would recommend this hotel you wont be disappointed

Having seen the other hotels in Gumbet as we dropped other passengers off, we were delighted to see the Royal Asarlik Hotel. The staff were amazing from start to finish and the hotel was very plush. As we were on an all inclusive basis, it was great to drink both alcohol and other drinks whenever you wanted, 24/7. The room was very large and very clean with nice views over Gumbet bay. Towels and room cleaned every day. The roof-top restaurant was stunning but the food was just ok. We ate out 4 nites out of 7 mostly due to the fact that the same things came back on the menu and everyone was scrambling to get their dinner as quick as possible. We had one nite allocated at the al a carte restaurant but could not get a booking as they were fully booked.
The pool area was very nice but quite busy so we spent most of the time on the beach in front of the hotel. It wasn't too busy at our time of visit but we went early on in the season. I can imagine it being overcrowded as the beach is only deep enough for 3 sun-loungers.
I visited the Spa in the hotel for a Turkish bath which was great and I would recommend to anyone visiting.
Only problem with the hotel is how clean they keep it! The clean the marble floors every night with an industrial cleaner from anywhere aroud 4am - 6.30am. I complained but go nowhere so expect to have your sleep broken. All in all a fab hotel, shame about the food (though there was a hugh selection). easily 5 star.

When we arrived we had been allocated wrong room the first choice rep was not much good, but when the manager found out about it he was totally shocked and we were very quickly given the proper room, his help in handling the matter was outstanding and made the situation a pleasurable experience, we were even giving gifts on arrival in our room for the inconvenience we went through

The staff also I found extremely pleasant and only too willing to give help where needed

The 24 hour all inclusive was a welcome bonus and the service given by bar staff was exceptional I have been to a lot of all inclusive in Turkey and the Royal Asarlik put them all to shame

If you book this hotel and have problems speak to the guest relations team who will do all in their power to put things right

Would I go back............YES we are already considering a return in the end of September
