Liberty Lykia Adults Only

For the first time in 25 years I left this hotel feeling disappointed and despondent. In the 12 days we were there the atmosphere seemed to have changed from the start of the season, as had the priorities. I am hoping it was a temporary , We found it frustrating that on several occasions we could not find a lounger on the beach whilst guests from the family side opened the gate for each other, climbed walls etc- using all the available beds and spaces. To be fair guest relations did send someone down to find loungers etc when I contacted them, but standing around waiting for 40/50 mins trying to find a lounger together is not relaxing or what we expect on holiday; nor is going to find a staff member to tell them each time someone sneaks in- as one staff member suggested to me. We are on holiday trying to relax, not have a stressful hour or so each afternoon trying to enjoy the beach. We also found the pool bar area, loungers during the day and tables in the evening not cleared of empty glasses, coffee cups etc. On one occasion we moved tables because our table became so full of empty glasses. I was disappointed with some of the bar service, to which I can go into further details if the management wish to contact me for further details. With these points said, I LOVE this hotel and I really do hope it was a temporary deviation and not a new trend. Typically- the friendliness of all of the staff are the bench mark for all other hotels. As are the standards around the pool and bar areas. The food is possibly the best you can get anywhere and has consistently improved year on year- this was true for this visit. We loved the new entertainment area, and found most of the groups an improvement on previous years. The Sunset restaurant both day and night was faultless. The beach bar has continued to improve and we really enjoyed the live music at sunset. We felt the consistency in cocktails was good, and that almost everyone made a cocktail using the same, correct recipe. It is hard to write this review and remain balanced… We love Lykia, would we have rushed back there after our October visit- no. However, we do know what an amazing place it is and can be.

PURE relaxation I'm generally someone who doesn't like to spend my vacation just in a hotel, but here at the Liberty Lykia Adults Only that wasn't a problem. Everything was clean, the food/drinks were excellent and the service was great. There were no overcrowded pools, the beach (the hotel's own) is small but well organized, there are different areas where you can stay so that you can always find some quiet areas. If you want you can also go to the other side of the hotel (Liberty family hotel) and use the facilities there, but this is not a must. Every evening there is a program / concerts and if you want to party you can also have this in the hotel next door. The animation team is also super friendly and always available for a nice exchange, you can see that they think about guest care and open for any kind of questions. Best regards to Eren, but of course also to the whole team ;-) All in all a great hotel in a quiet location, we would love to come back again
