I had originally booked a 7-night stay at the Wyndham Residences Kusadasi Golf & Resort Spa, however, after having to amend the holiday dates due to personal circumstances the resort was switched to the Liberty Kusadasi, I didn’t mind at the time as me and my wife had previously stayed at Liberty Hotels Lara in Antalya which was an exceptionally good experience. With our week-long holiday at Liberty Kusadasi nearly over I can confidently say that this will be quite an easy to forget experience. The food…. Yes there was a variety of options for Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner each day including poolside fast food to go during lunch and a late night snack service in the Buffet Restaurant, but the quality of food was horrid, tasteless and certainly not 5 star. The waiting service during meal times was also very poor unless of course you were native Turkish, as seems to be the case across any hotel resort you stay at in Turkiye. The pools… were extremely cold including the indoor pool, I’m talking feet numbing cold and many families were regularly complaining about the cold temperature of the water and why this couldn’t be warmed to accommodate at least children to be able to swim and play. The location… this was ideal, just 12 minutes from the town centre where the majority of the shopping bazaars, bars, eateries and some sights can be found. This journey cost about 5 Euros or 200-250 Turkish Lira. The customer service… you really have to push for this but even still it was inconsistent, you would hear some families talking about how the customer relations desk had recommended them to book or request zoo visits or a day out to the Kusadasi National Park but as a family with three infants under 5, we were not once given pointers for days out but they were good at calling a taxi for you when needed which I suppose is something, right? The Room… definitely not a 5-star room, besides the jacuzzi bath tub there wasn’t anything deluxe about the room, the decor and interior was very archaic if anything, especially in comparison to 5-star resorts we have previously stayed at in Antalya. The cleaners were happy to make the beds for you but try pointing out that the floors were dusty or bathroom needed cleaning and they would go running to guest relations about how you had left clutter in the room, preventing them from being able to clean, by clutter I mean shoes on the floor… not sure where else they’re suppose to go. Oh and toddler toys. Another important thing to note is that amongst the dozens of Brits we met during our stay, all of them had visited the resort previously, including a gentleman who had returned with a group of almost 40 friends and family, they all had one statement in common, how the resort was not what it used to be and had become disappointing in every aspect. Apparently Liberty Kusadasi came under New Management in May 2024 and things have never been the same since. Honestly, for now our trips to Turkiye are over and we will be
