I have just come back back from a few days of holiday at Su Hotel and must say I am very pleased. I had already heard many great things, previous to my visit, but was also a little skeptical, because it was bought by Sunis Hotels Group from the original Hillside Group. From what I can tell, not much has changed in decoration and the usual hotel's flair after it has been bought.
The hotel reminds you a little bit of a giant Apple Store or maybe a very futuristic Star Trek disco! :) I say this, because EVERYTHING in the hotel is white (except for the main restaurant that is all in RED and is also called that...). The staff is dressed in all white, the floors, walls, ceilings and tables are all white. The reception reminds you a little bit of a hospital, with the staff wearing a white doctor's jacket almost and having little fish bowls on each counter. I took it with humor, as I knew wha I was expecting from the pictures I had looked at before my visit. The lobby has lots of big 'beds' with large pillows on them with giant disco balls dangling from the roof as you look up.
The rooms are exactly the same, but somewhat VERY sexy. All in white again, but the bed is surrounded with large mirrors on all 3 sides and there is an actual bed again with huge pillows on the balcony. It is all very clean but somewhat sterile. However, the room looks even sexier at night when you can choose what color light you want; white or red. As the base color is white, the whole room turns into somewhat a resemblance of the red light district with the crimson light! :)
The buffet at the Red Restaurant has good variety on food, from many different entrées to main courses, diet foods, dessert and fruit. I am not a fan of buffets at Hotels, since mainly they are cooked in too much grease and taste awfully due to sitting around for hours. However, here everything was very fresh and tasteful!
The pool area is also nice, same as the beach, however do note: it is NOT a sand beach, but a pebble-stone beach and the waves can be a little higher than other parts of Antalya. The hotel is located quite centrally near the city center, with a big Aquarium to visit across from it, an Aquapark behind it and shopping areas nearby. The staff in the hotel was very friendly and all in all was very happy with the stay.
The only downside (kind of) was due to the fact that everything is so white, especially in the rooms, it is very easy to see 'dirt'. The toilets and showers seem to show their 'age' a little bit and will probably in the nearby years need to be changed. Also, it can sometimes be a little difficult for international people / tourists to communicate with the staff, as not all of them are aquainted with the English language.
All in all very well though, and a very nice, relaxing holiday spot!
