Xperia Saray Beach Hotel
$100-200/ night
Book this if You want to roll out of bed directly onto Cleopatra Beach and don't mind a thumping poolside soundtrack.
Why People Love It
- Unbeatable location right on the sand (no road to cross)
- Arthur at the front desk is a local legend who solves every problem
- Private beach section with free sunbeds and umbrellas
Quick Take: A budget-friendly all-inclusive that trades peace and quiet for prime beach access and a party atmosphere.
Reviewed by @Jenkinsjade36: Me and my partner just got back from Xperia Saray and it was exactly the chill break we needed. The location right on Cleopatra Beach is unbeatable. We loved the garden walkway for pics and the buffet was solid. Not super fancy, but great value.
Guest Who Stayed Here Said
Reality check
The 'All Inclusive' food is repetitive and basic; many guests skip it to eat at nearby local restaurants.
- You prioritize ocean access over luxury interiors
- You enjoy a lively, social pool scene with DJs and foam parties
- You love cats and don't mind them napping in the lobby

- Beach towels are provided but require a deposit card.
What to pack

Room Genie
Best picks
- Deluxe Sea View (top floor) for the best vistas, if you can handle the bass
- Standard Room (Land View) for a slightly quieter night, though the view is just the city
Rooms to avoid
- Economy Rooms (often no real balcony, just a railing)
- Low-floor rooms near the pool bar (maximum noise exposure)
Room Request Genie – copy & paste
“Hi, I'm booking a stay and would love to request a high-floor room. If Arthur is at the desk, please ask him to help us avoid a room directly facing the stage speakers if possible. We don't mind a Land View if it means a quieter night's sleep.”
FAQ & Hidden tips
Everything you actually want to know before you book.
Is the WiFi actually free?
Yes, but coverage is spotty in rooms. It works best in the lobby and pool area.
Do I have to pay for sunbeds on the beach?
No, sunbeds and umbrellas on the hotel's private beach stretch are free for guests.
Is the food safe to eat?
Generally yes, but wash all fruit with bottled water. Some guests have reported stomach issues with unwashed produce.
Can I park my car there?
There is no hotel garage. Staff will help you park on nearby streets or lots, which can be stressful in peak season.
Is it suitable for small children?
It's okay (there's a kids' pool), but the vibe is definitely more adult/party-focused.
How much is the safe?
Expect to pay a daily fee (around €2-3) to use the in-room safe.

The 'Turkish Night' once a week is the best food night; don't miss it.
- ✨
You can order a 'lunch box' if you plan to be out on a tour all day, but you must request it the night before.
5 things to know before you go

💡The elevator is tiny and slow—you will likely end up taking the stairs.
💡The 'juice' at breakfast is often the sugary powdered kind, not fresh squeezed.
💡You can hear the call to prayer clearly, which adds atmosphere but wakes some people up.
