Pigale Plaji II

Due to the rocky seabed, it is necessary to wear water shoes. There is only a small sandy area, which tends to get crowded. Sunbeds are quickly occupied, usually by 8:00 AM, and towels are available after 9:00 AM. Fortunately, there are shaded areas provided by trees to escape the sun.

The beach was absolutely breathtaking and the hotel was perfect for four best friends celebrating their 40th birthdays with their families. We had a variety of options to choose from at the buffet and beach restaurants, and the a la carte restaurants provided an extra touch. Everyone had a wonderful vacation.

The hotel is a great choice for families, with a wide variety of food options to satisfy everyone's preferences. It is quite a large resort, so be prepared for some walking around. The staff members are incredibly friendly and helpful, always going above and beyond. The only downside was that our air conditioning was not functioning, but we managed without feeling the need to complain. I'm certain they would have relocated us if we had requested it. Although it may not be a 5-star establishment, it comes pretty close for a family-oriented resort. The rooms may be a bit outdated, but let's be honest, who spends much time in their room anyway?! I want to give a special shout-out to Engin from Entertainment and Vecdin in the buffet restaurant. I observed how hard you both worked to please your guests. Thank you to all the staff for providing us with a fantastic vacation experience.

The service at the beach was disappointing. However, the restaurant was enjoyable. I don't plan on returning in the future. The room lacked a functioning internet connection. Additionally, we experienced an 8-hour power outage. The staff had limited English proficiency. The beds were of poor quality, resulting in back pain after my trip. Despite being charged as a luxury establishment, the overall experience was mediocre. I encountered similar issues during my visit to the nearby city. Taxis and restaurants were overpriced. In the market, counterfeit clothing was being sold at exorbitant prices, nearly 80% higher than the original items. It felt as though the country was penalizing tourists.

Pine Bay is undoubtedly one of the most stunning coastal areas in the world. It is nestled within a forest, yet conveniently provides access to all necessary amenities. Situated amidst the pine trees, the hotel boasts its own secluded cove with incredibly beautiful sandy beaches and crystal-clear blue waters. The sunsets are refreshingly breezy, the surrounding nature is magnificent, and you truly feel like you're in paradise. While it may not be the most luxurious option, it is certainly the most exquisite natural setting, offering clean air and being just a stone's throw away from Ephesus, one of the largest Roman cities. I absolutely adore the vibrant hues of the sunset reflecting on the sea from every corner of the resort. It's a true gem in my beloved country.
