Palmiye Turkey

Spent 9 days mid-October 2025 as a family vacation. This was our first stay at this Club Med and our 4th stay at a Club Med in general. The premises are generally well kept and tidy. The atmosphere is relaxed and relatively quiet with the resort split in two parts. Got unlucky with one day of rain, that's when we noticed the premises are lacking facilities protected from the wind and rain where guest could wait for the sun to return while still enjoying themselves. Our room was in line with our expectations, in a quiet area, with a nice terrace and 2 separate sleeping areas. We enjoyed several group classes, the padel and the tennis courts, the archery but couldn't go on boat tour as it got cancelled several times that one week due to strong winds. The food was excellent with a great variety of choices (loved the grilled fish!), the restaurants employees very attentive. And last but not least a big thank you to Alexia for taking so good care of the teenagers and our daughter - you deserve a promotion !

A great week with the grandchildren at half-term. Our 2nd family holiday at la Palmiye and we've booked again for next summer. Our granddaughters love the Kids Club. Charlotte who leads it is outstanding - full of energy, adored by the kids, respected by her colleagues. The sailing team, led by Lahoucine with Ali, Pape, Omar, Hassan and Berek (sorry if I've forgotten any names) gave us brilliant times afloat and despite some challenging conditions - eg from becalmed to Force 5 in an hour, always had a smile on their faces. Our daily 'marches sportifs' with Baptiste and Abdo were a great way to start the day. And what a surprise for one of our granddaughters when Abdo remembered that she was learning Spanish and greeted her with a bright "Como estas?" Restaurant quality and variety were terrific, the challenge being avoiding eating too many of the lovely dishes on offer. White Night was a great success. We thank Chef de Village Jonathan and all his team. We wish him well on his move next year to Val d'Isere.

Best hotel!! This one is so much more than family hotel with different activities. It is really a club and you meet people there who (mostly) enjoy the same things: quite luxury, excellent food, family traditions, sports and, of coarse, cool shows and parties! We were there for the third time with friends who used to go there as much as 8 times! It says it all. Special thanks to the hotel manager Jonathan - he is the best manager, whose work I got a chance to see with my own eyes in the coarse of 3 years in a row during which hotel was getting better and better. It’s a pity he has to move on to manage another club med hotel though. Another great thanks to Sailing manager Luohsin, who is very communicative and helping hand and sailing instructor Ali - very professional and easy to learn with all you need to know about catamaran sailing.

Wonderful vacation! It was my first time in this village, Palmiye is really large and beautiful resort with many activities. There is no way to manage with all of them)))
I want to especially thank for the water sports- obsessed with them! The sea is stunning, the sailing and water skiing teams are super friendly and kind.
And what a beautiful area the village has! Alleys with persimmons, mandarins and palms- every morning i had breakfast with persimmon right from the tree.
The restaurants are also very delicious, offering a wide variety of food- especially fish, seafood and desserts. However, it was impossible to eat so much)) Main restaurant is quite crowdy so I recommend to to go closer to end of lunch/ dinner hours when most people have already left.
One downside is that if it rains the village becomes rather dull- there is no entertainment, everything is closed and there are no umbrellas to go for a walk, wich is disappointing because it feels like losing such days.
In conclusion, I would like to thank the 2025 season team for the warm attitude and the spirit of this place! See you soon!
