We normally visit twice a year but this year did an extra visit in April. Must admit when we arrive we think there could be a possibility that it may not be as good as last time but every time we visit they go above and beyond and its always better, such a fantastic hotel
The staff are an absolute credit to Mr Ergin Sarp and he has done so many improvements in the time he has been General Manager at the hotel. We can see the great improvement as we have stayed at this lovely hotel 16 times
We must mention the following staff Ocean - Gahad Ibrahim and Atilla (in buffet as well) Turkish - Orguz have always received great service from him for a long time The Prime - Harun Italian - Emin and Mehmet Buffet - Sercan - such a lovely guy extremely helpful and kind always checking everythjng is ok such a genuine person. Along with Mehmet who used to be in the Italian another guy so helpful The staff in the Lounge bar and Club House Lounge bar are terrific knowing your drink in advance and having it ready for you especially Mahir and Ahmed Ishmael is great always making time to talk to us and checking everything is ok another great genuine person Emin also takes time to talk to you and always asking if all is ok.

Food is very important to us and is at the top of our list for choosing a hotel. The food is fantastic in all the a la cartes with great choices in all of them. The Italian and The Prime are our favorites. The Prime serves fantastic steaks cooked to perfection The buffet has great food with good variety we only visit for breakfast and dinner as the ocean and Italian are our favorites for lunch. Galla night is really good with fantastic choice and really good food. Please give our compliments to all the chefs and kitchen staff
Loved the live bands in the evening at The Club House Lounge bar such a great atmosphere
The adult pool is in such a lovely setting where you can relax in quieter areas if you wish The grounds are extensive and so well looked after by the gardeners they are beautiful
We have already booked for next June and September and are already counting down the days Anne and Graham Launder ❤️
This is a nice hotel. It has lots of positive points.
The reasons it wasn’t wow for us.
We had a nice holiday and everything is subjective but not a hotel we would rush back too.
Just returned from a 2 week stay in this beautiful resort. All rooms have a sea view which is very rare and greatly appreciated. The food, drinks and staff are all excellent. We booked a cabana on the beach on 2 separate occasions and it was worth every penny. Eren our beach waiter was excellent looking after us. We went into Side twice by getting the local bus for €1.50 per person on the way and a taxi back for €12. Both gave change in euro so did not have to change any money into Lira as all shops also took euro and gave change in euro. We used the adults pool and the bar staff here were excellent. Gabriel, Engin, Musa. Ice creams readily available which is a really nice touch. Pinar and Bahar who served us drinks in the bar and the clubhouse lounge were so pleasant and efficient. The entertainment was excellent. We especially enjoyed the quiz storm every night. Using an app on your phone was fantastic. We had a Turkish bath in the hotel spa which was amazing. I also had hair cut, colour and treatment in the hotel and was very impressed with the service. We have been to the Akra in Fethiye and we will return there sometime but next year we will be back to Sorgun again for another fantastic holiday.
We returned for our third visit at the beginning of July this year, travelling as two adults and two children aged 6 and 12. The best way to sum up our stay is simple: five stars. We love this hotel, and once again, it did not disappoint.
Our room was excellent — spacious, comfortable and with plenty of storage. It was cleaned to an exceptional standard every day, which we really appreciated.
For us, the food is what really sets this hotel apart. The buffet is exceptional, with a huge range of choices that changed daily. The themed evenings added plenty of variety, while the everyday options worked particularly well for one of our children, who prefers plainer food. The chocolate fountain was a particular holiday highlight for both kids! The à la carte restaurants were also excellent and gave us a lovely opportunity to relax and enjoy beautiful food in even more beautiful surroundings.
The waiting staff were excellent throughout — attentive, enthusiastic and always welcoming.
The kids' club and childcare offerings were another real highlight of the hotel. The recently refurbished kids' club was fabulous and provided a much-needed respite from the sun. The team also ran a brilliant adventure club for children who were too young for the teen club but felt too old for the kids' club. It focused on sports and games, and my older child absolutely loved it. Particular thanks must go to Emma, Caitlin, Ryan and Ellie for devising and delivering such a brilliant kids' programme.
One small disappointment this year was that the entertainment team was not as large as in previous years, consisting of just two people rather than the usual teams of six or eight. This meant that many of the familiar entertainment offerings available at other Sensatori resorts were no longer provided here, such as the Hashtag Live show and the dinosaur show. We felt that this reduction was disappointing, particularly given how impressive this year's entertainment team was.
The two girls who made up the entertainment team, Eden and Lauren, were nothing short of exceptional. It would not be an understatement to say that these two girls made our holiday. In all of the similar all-inclusive properties we've stayed at over the years, including other Sensatori resorts on many occasions, we haven't come across people quite as enthusiastic and engaging as these two.
They took such a genuine interest in our children, who absolutely loved the attention and couldn't get enough of getting involved in the activities. Eden and Lauren were incredibly enthusiastic, friendly and talented, and they brought so much energy to everything they did. With such a talented and engaging team, it was a real shame that the entertainment offering had been pared back to just two people.
Both the entertainment team and the childcare team came to wish us goodbye at reception when we left - I can't articulate just how special this was for our children and brought a genuine tear to the eye! Another example of how these guys went way above and beyond to leave a lasting impression!
I should also mention that the entertainment in the Clubhouse seemed really good this year, although our family's early bedtimes meant that we sadly missed a lot of it. The main live acts performing in the auditorium were, as usual, a bit of a mixed bag — although I appreciate that this is very subjective.
Overall, though, we had another fantastic stay. The food, facilities, children's activities and in particular staff, continue to make this a hotel we absolutely love returning to. We had a brilliant holiday and would happily come back for a fourth visit!
We stayed at the Akra sorgun for two weeks at the beginning of September, this was our 10th visit to this beautiful place. We met up with friends and made some new friends too, this hotel is absolutely amazing! Upon arriving there we were greeted by the staff, the staff here are amazing, each and everyone had a part to play in making your holiday something special. The quality of the food and the à la carte restaurants is outstanding. The entertainment was also superb from the live shows to the soft music in the lobby with live musicians! The room cleaners are fantastic, they cannot do enough for you , along with Omer on the beach who will find you sun beds every day!! We really enjoyed the bars at the Akra sorgun, the beach bar staff are amazing and always greet you with a smile , also the pool bar and lobby bar where nothing is too much trouble . Special thanks to Bahar and Ibrahim in the lobby bar, they were truly exceptional in looking after us, also Gabriel at the pool side bar who was ALWAYS there when you needed a drink . Cannot wait to come back next year and see everyone again . Thankyou Akra sorgun xx
