Club Tuana Fethiye

Stayed here as a family of 3 in July 2026. The hotel has many positive aspects, with a few negatives to be aware of.

Pros -

Location. This part of Turkey is very scenic, and the hotel is in a giant bay, with hills and mountains on 3 sides. There is nothing else in the immediate area to spoil the views, as Fethiye town is a few miles away Food - The main buffet restaurant has a huge range of tasty, well cooked dishes. You also have access to 4 à la carte restaurants - Mediterranean, Italian, fish, and Asian. We tried them all, and the personal service and food quality really made our holiday. Entertainment - plenty of daytime activities are included - we can recommend the pedalos, archery and air rifle shooting. Our son loved the water slides. The evening shows were superb, even the ones put on by the in-house animation team. Grounds - The rooms are dotted around meticulously maintained gardens, with lush greenery, flowers and palm trees everywhere. Lovely to walk around, and reminiscent of far more exotic locations. The pier is also a bonus - even if you don’t pay extra to hire a cabana, there are a few free sunbeds, and it’s a safe spot for diving / swimming in the sea. Staff - there are some negative reviews on here about the staff, but we found them to be polite, friendly and very hard working, even if we sometimes struggled to make ourselves understood.

Cons -

Rooms - Even though we paid extra for a deluxe room, it was nothing like a 5 star. The bathroom was tired, the shower screen came off it’s rails, the bar of soap was minuscule, there was limited storage space, and the ‘terrace’ was tiny, literally big enough for 1 chair. There was also no sound insulation from the room upstairs, whose occupants disrupted our sleep. Pool - the main pool is large, but was very crowded, and the only way to get a sunbed there was to get your towel down at 6 a.m. The hotel staff appeared to be reserving sunbeds for a select few; we never found out how to get this privilege. It is also very noisy there, with loud music playing from giant speakers all day. The hotel grounds are large enough to accommodate an extra ‘quiet’ pool for those wanting relaxation - we had this facility on last year’s Turkey holiday, and it was a godsend. Sadly, no such pool at the Tuana. There are sunbeds available in the quieter garden areas, but in summer temperatures you need easy pool access. Beach - nothing but grey shingle, impossible to even walk on without sandals. Stick to the pier. Hygiene - Although the hotel was spotlessly clean, there is nothing in place to keep flies out of the main restaurant, and we often found them landing on the food. Late check out - most hotels will let you know if this is available on the day before you leave. But at the Tuana, we had to wait until our actual departure day, only to be then told that it was not available. This caused a little inconvenience for our final hours at the hotel; once checked out we were at least offered the use of the spa showers, but these were very cramped, hot and stuffy.

However…don’t be discouraged by the negatives, because for us they are far outweighed by the positives. We all loved our holiday here, and I’m sure we’ll be back one day, although probably at a quieter time of year.

Ok so I have read some mixed reviews about this hotel and wanted to give a balanced view and hopefully reassure any families who have booked this hotel and are now concerned. Overall this is a very good hotel. There is plenty of food options and the staff are all lovely. Water is in plentiful supply and various branded soft drinks. The beach isn’t great that’s true but the view from the pier is stunning particularly at sunset. In fact you’re best off jumping off the pier into the sea (it’s not too deep) which is much clearer and was a highlight of our stay. There is plenty to do in terms of activities with a well equipped gym and kids football every day. I see someone complained about the waterslides - they’re open from 10-12 and 3-5pm which suited us fine. The Spa is also lovely and there’s a nice shopping parade and arcade area for the kids. There’s lots of snacks and food available most of the day - you certainly won’t go hungry! Now for some less positive aspects - the place is generally clean but could be cleaner. When we arrived (we stayed in the Lagoon area) there were a few dead wasps in our room and balcony. Not what you expect from a 5 star hotel. The beds are comfortable but pillows old bumpy and tired. Quite a few scratches and marks too on wooden areas so it felt a bit tired and in need of a repaint. The animation is ok but on far too late and is loud. There was only one terrible show - a bit of a dance show with dance music which was a bit weird given this is a family resort! The hotel should also really consider earlier shows given that there are many families there with young children. My husband also had a bad tummy but myself and son were fine. The only thing he had that we didn’t was blue cheese so maybe avoid that! On the whole though we did have a wonderful holiday and would recommend this hotel. The Lagoon area in particular is lovely.
