Amara Centro Resort

Jerome Guandalini

A very good overall experience in Crystal Centro for this one week stay in July 2025. The hotel is well managed, and the team is globally efficient and professional, and manages well any difficulties that may occur. Rooms are rather fresh and absolutely matching their description. The special mention goes to food and beverage with a really great buffet in the main restaurant and a choice of A La carte restaurants accessible free of charge and without reservations. Of course, there are plenty of activities and a nightly show plus live music concerts almost every night. Huge pools, water slides for children of all ages and for adults, very nice beach complement the settings. The Spa is not the best we have seen in Turkey, but the service is adequate even if a little overpriced. We recommend Crystal Centro, it is definitely a good choice in this area and great value for money !

Beautiful hotel, very long pool, many slides, good food, many restaurants, free drinks in the room, many places where you can eat something, fruit, ice cream, waffles, patila, drinks, cocktails. The table service even skates. Nice sandy-rocky beach with sunbeds and a pier with a bar on the Mediterranean Sea. Frequent shows and live music which I loved. Music by the pools and a little more peace on the beach. I played volleyball and Boccia (Bule) several times and practiced Yoga. Tourists from many countries. Very nice atmosphere, everyone was nice and understanding regardless of nationality and politics. After returning from such places I miss the people I met. A person can become very attached to other people during a week spent in this place. Special thanks to two animators (Emre Topcu and Mecit Emre Kaya) who took great care to make the people resting there feel good. I liked them very much. My room number is 3111. Thank you and see you next time.😃

We were extremely satisfied with the staff, who were kind and helpful, also satisfied with the services provided by the hotel, excellent location, beautiful, clean beach. The water in the pool (stayed 3rd week of June) quite cold. Pool towels were initially in the room and then they could be changed at the pool. The food was tasty, relatively large selection. As for the room - there was tile on the floor without carpets, regular cleaning and replenishment of the mini bar, small flaws - the paint was falling off the ceiling and the strip was peeled off, see photo. The air conditioning worked - the controls were clear but from the last century.

The resort is exceptional spotlessly clean with delicious food and well-appointed rooms. The staff are consistently attentive and helpful; for example, if your drink is nearly finished, they promptly bring you a fresh one. The buffet is always well-stocked with a wide variety of dishes, and there are additional dining options available by the pool area and other restaurants. 1 restaurant offers either Italian, fish or Turkish every night, you need to book and everything is included in the price. There are water slides for young children and adults, there are cabanas etc. The indoor pool is excellent, and the spa facilities are outstanding. My family and I booked a full massage package, and not only were we offered a discount, but they also provided a complimentary children's treatment for my son. The hammam baths are also a highlight and the massage was perfect. The bars are open throughout the day, and there’s a 24-hour restaurant available as well. Housekeeping staff are friendly and accommodating—even if not all speak fluent English, they make every effort to assist. I would absolutely return and highly recommend Crystal Centro.

We stayed at this resort for 7 days starting from the 1st of June. I chose it over many others due to its high rating, excellent location, beach access, and the fact that all à la carte restaurants were included in the package with no need to pre-book—a major decision driver for me, and they certainly delivered on that. The à la carte dining experience was a highlight. The mood and setting were very elegant, matching the overall slick and stylish design of the resort. The menu offered a good variety, though the portion sizes were on the smaller side at the Italian and Bistro—so I’d recommend ordering double to really enjoy the experience! While the resort was slightly overpriced, it still offered great value for money, especially considering they allow full access to the entire resort both before check-in and after check-out. This thoughtful policy meant we didn’t waste any time waiting around. We arrived late and, unfortunately, there was a hiccup with our reservation. However, the staff quickly reassured us and sent us to have dinner while they resolved it. The food selection overall was good, with plenty of sweets, savoury items, and fresh fruit. The focus was mainly on Turkish cuisine rather than international options. While this initially disappointed us, we embraced the chance to try new dishes—and were pleasantly surprised by the quality and flavour. One small issue was that meats weren’t always clearly labelled, so we had to ask the staff. The staff themselves were consistently friendly and helpful. Senior managers were visibly present and supervising, which felt very reassuring. They also spoke good English, which made communication easy. The pools catered to different needs with varying depths (110cm, 130cm, and 140cm)—ideal for someone like me who is on the shorter side. The water slides were fun and well-monitored by lifeguards. The beach was directly accessible from the resort, with a beautiful pier featuring deckchairs and a bar for ultimate relaxation. We also appreciated the location—there was a nice bazaar and a mall nearby, and the local bus was easy to catch right outside the resort. For just 60p on way, we were able to visit other towns—definitely take advantage of this! Special thanks to Misafir and Ismail, who were incredibly kind and helpful throughout our stay. And a big shoutout to Serkat in the spa—He gave us a fantastic deal, and Maria-the Bali massage was absolutely perfect. Fatima was a great host and ensured the massage was catered to us personally. We only wish we had visited the spa more often!
