Numa Bay Exclusive Hotel - Ultra All Inclusive

Just returned from a 9 night holiday (Me, my husband, 14 year old and 6 year old). We had a lovely holiday overall, but there are a few things to be aware of. The pool areas are incredibly overcrowded and are just not big enough for the amount of guests. I know the hotel is having a major refurbishment next year so this may help the situation. Sunbed reserving us insane but we usually managed to find some left at 8.30 by the kids splash pool. The music and activities are very loud by the pool, which is fine but you can't escape it so be prepared! Bedrooms; (we stayed in a suite with a bedroom and separate sofa bed and a single bed in the lounge), this was spacious, clean, nice decor. Food; main restaurant is VERY busy, we ate in an area up some steps away from the main outside space and it was much calmer, cooler and enjoyable. Vegetarian food is very limited. Plenty of salads etc but I only had one hot dish during my stay and basically had salads (which were v good), plus chips or bread! The Vegetarian section was literally boiled vegetables, and sometimes even included meat! Food for non vegetarians is a little repetitive. Breakfast was fine but again repetitive each day. The Avenue snack bar by the main pool was not good. It was dark, dirty and in desperate need of a refurbishment..Food was fine but same every day. Waffles and the lady making them were great. Ali Baba by the beach was our favourite place for lunch but they need to sort out a better system for allocating tables, it was frustrating some days! Turkish pancakes were great. Drinks menu was extensive but quality wasn't great. No care taken in making cocktails etc. The hotel is right in the centre of the resort so really good for picking up some bargains! Many of the staff were lovely, all areas are clean and well kept. The toilets near the main pool were not very good, but they did their best to keep them clean. We ate in Ali Baba for our a la carte meal and it was a nice evening, food was OK. We have been spoilt by staying at some genuine 5 star resorts in Turkey over the past 10 years. Numa Bay is a 4 star. It is very family orientated, with lots of English, German, French, and Russian guests. If you are looking for a hotel with a busy vibe, lots going on, family friendly, then this is ideal. If you prefer a bit of space or quiet options, probably not for you!

Just returned from an amazing 10 days at Numa bay. The hotel does need updating which is happening next year but we had a brilliant time. I would say it’s more 3 star and the food is what you would expect from 3 star. We always found something to eat. Waffles and flat bread are worth the queue! Loads for the kids to do, entertainment staff especially Leo couldn’t do enough for you. Victor in reception is brilliant and helped us many times. We booked 2 trips through Eagle who you will find in reception. The green canyon safari and a boat trip both amazing! DO NOT GO TO THE LION ZOO!! Animals really not looked after and lions defo drugged for pictures….very sad place! Transfer is a pain but worth it. Will defo return x

We have had a wonderful experience at this friendly, welcoming clean hotel. The staff particularly have made it a very pleasant stay. Moni has also been very happy and accommodating. Great with the kids and full of life!

We are having such a wonderful stay here and couldn’t be happier with the facilities and service. The pool area is fantastic for the children, and the daily activities run by the animation team are excellent. They are always engaging with the kids, making sure they are having as much fun as possible – our little ones absolutely love it. A special mention must go to Dean, who is in charge of guest relations. He is so approachable and genuinely goes the extra mile, walking around the hotel every day to check in with guests, spreading positive energy, and making sure everyone is happy. It really makes a difference to the atmosphere. The food has a variety and seems to work on a rotation, so there’s always something new to enjoy. Drinks are always served cold and fresh, and there’s a good selection of snack options throughout the day, which is really convenient. Rooms are clean and bright, and the hotel is in a great location – close enough to shops and local bars if you fancy a little venture out. Overall, it’s been a brilliant experience, and we would happily recommend this hotel for families looking for a fun and relaxing holiday.
