Kaya Palazzo Golf Resort

Amazing facility and lovely hospitality, Taha was an incredible help

The environment of the resort was exceptional with the assigned team especially taha, ceylin and bayram were constantly taking care of us

The resort is beautiful, with wonderful pools, a lovely beach, and an excellent buffet. The furnishings, beds, and towels were all very clean. Thank you to the team for their warm hospitality and helpfulness throughout our stay.

We would have appreciated a heated pool, as we couldn’t find one with comfortably warm water during our stay. The building looks a little dated, although everything was kept very clean.

I’ll separate the facilities from the staff, who were nothing but kind and helpful throughout. The food is genuinely good too. If you like to eat and drink there’s plenty of variety, the buffet standard is high, and the WhatsApp group they set up for your room is a terrific way to handle requests. Always responsive.

The reality is a resort that’s creaking. Everything looks about 30 years old and hanging on, from the wallpaper to the beach towels. It presents itself as lavish and grand but it’s tawdry. Bulbs out here and there giving the place a dingy feel, and a sad, seemingly abandoned gym where the running machine sounds like it has sand in the gears. The taxi situation was the low point. You can’t get an Uber from the resort, and drivers were too nervous to collect us even outside the gates. We ended up walking a mile up the road with our cases, followed the whole way by two men in a cab who stopped whenever we stopped, clearly to intimidate any other taxi who would take the Uber fare. Our booked Uber driver kept asking if we were still being tailed as he could see what was happening. The quote from the on-site taxi resort desk for the airport was 80 euros cash. Uber, under 30. Make of that what you will. But the resort were well aware of this extortion racket.
