White City Beach Adult Only

We have enjoyed our stay at White City beach hotel but do not believe it is deserving of 4.5 stars. Positives - The rooms are spacious and clean The hotel in general is very well kept and clean, including the pool area. The beach is a great addition, with the great view of the sea from the jetty Some staff are lovely and so friendly - special shoutout to Yusuf at the beach bar and the beach lifeguard who was so nice (sorry didn’t get his name!) If you’re looking for a relaxed, hot summer holiday this definitely is the place! Negatives - The food was not great in our opinion. Whilst it was all cooked well, the variation was very limited with lack of options if you didn’t like certain foods Additionally, they had a pasta cooking station where you can see in pictures attached it was more like pasta in a bowl of oil. Some nights we would have sat and eaten dinner before being offered a drink, if at all. Some of the staff in the main dining area were very stand offish, would see you didn’t have drinks but would not offer, often resulting in us going to the bar and getting them ourselves. Whilst this was no hardship for us, we’re unsure why we were blatantly ignored when we were always polite and greeted the staff. Point to note - there are no designated smoking areas in the hotel, which means people can smoke anywhere such as at dinner, by the pool and on the beach. Whilst I have no qualms with people smoking , trying to eat dinner whilst the table next to you are smoking can be very off putting. Same goes for being around the pool and having people smoke next to you all day. It would be nice if there was designated smoking areas, so those who don’t smoke can escape it, and I think there should be a blanket ban on smoking at dinner and lunch. It is also very isolated! This suited us well as we wanted a week lying in the sun, however if you wanted places to explore by walking this may not be the right hotel for you. However if you’re looking for a relaxing holiday by the pool or sea it’s ideal! Overall we did have a very nice stay and would think about coming back.

First of all, my first experience was not good at all, I had many problems, but I had the chance to come to this country again. From the first moment, they took very good care of us, the people working in the restaurant, the people working in the bar really deserve praise, they were always smiling, they always asked what we would like to drink. I would like to thank everyone, especially my friend Hasan, I would like to thank him separately because he is the coordinator of the team, he is a responsible and very successful manager.
