Montana Pine Resort

I’ve never been on an all inclusive holiday before so I have nothing to compare the experience to, but a week at Montana Pine Resort felt like great value. Location is beautiful. Set at the foot of the mountains with amazing views (if you’re lucky you get that from just your balcony). Mountains means hills, but that didn’t bother me as it might others. You’re also a bit of a trek from the beach, which requires a shuttle service there and back. Great size pools. You can actually have a good swim and dive into the main one and relax and splash about in the others. Food was terrific if a little repetitive. I didn’t drink anything but beer because the cocktails were liberally thrown together and mostly tasted like pure vodka (but you might like that sort of thing). My gf said the wine was alright. Top marks for all the staff except the well moody desk clerk that kept picking her phone up or answered calls mid way through attending to us. The fun time team were spot on! And the restaurant staff were exemplary.

Such a wonderful holiday. The hotel was absolute oasis for me and my partner. Couldn't fault the staff, grounds, facilities or the food. We are both vegetarian and the choices seemed limitless ( missing the salads!!) The staff work endlessly so please tip them if you can. We were lucky enough to have a large balcony with incredible views. We are already looking to come back next year, as we didnt fully explore the area as we found such comfort in the hotel!! The hotel is also situated where the weather is much more manageable than for example in fetiye. We did however do the boat trip and paragliding organized from the travel rep from Montana. Both days were incredible. Thank you so much for a wonderful stay - we will hopefully see you again soon!!

My partner and I stayed at the hotel in late August/ beginning of September. We had the absolute best time and would go again in a heart beat. I’m going to write a lengthy review as these really helped us before booking. Restaurant was brilliant, always plenty of choice and fresh food being cooked constantly. We actually ate at the pool bar restaurant area every day as we found it easier, this also had plenty of choice with the addition of an ice cream bar and pancake bar at certain times. All the staff in all areas were amazing. Our highlight of the holiday was the BBQ night which happened to land on my birthday. The food was amazing and it was a lovely evening, we also booked the Al a Carte night which was also amazing. Food was incredible and staff were lovely, we also had wild boar walk around as we ate which I personally loved! The sunset bar needed its own personal mention as this was what made the hotel for us, we went every evening before dinner just to watch the sunset. We weren’t personally bothered by having drinks up there however we did catch the barman a couple of times so grabbed a beer to watch the sunset. Beautiful wild cats up there that are so affectionate. Make the most of this view, I miss it!! We did the cable car experience whilst we were there which takes you up into the mountain to watch the paragliding. We did this on my birthday and it was our favourite day. Simply go down to the security gate and grab a taxi and they take you straight there, not expensive from what I can remember. If you can, have dinner in the restaurant right at the top as this was amazing and the food is great. We did go down to the lagoon however for us this was not enjoyable, too touristy and not our cup of tea. It was nice to say we went though and to see the lagoon itself. Again easy bus down to the front from security gate. If we go again we will be sure to do the boat tour, we just ran out of time! We had a standard room which was actually more than enough, lovely room and plenty big enough with a lovely balcony. We did have an issue with the air conditioning but after a couple of trips to reception this was resolved and clean bedding replaced from the leak. Our maid was just lovely and after seeing birthday cards out in our room, had laid flowers all over our bed. It made my day! Entertainment wasn’t to our taste, but we did make an effort to go and try each one out. Some of them brilliant, some of them less so. However we actually took ourselves off to the bar most evenings to play card games so to us it wasn’t an issue. However I appreciate all the acts that performed! The shop on site was very handy with everything you could ever need, we often grabbed a bar of chocolate in the evening to snack on whilst we played cards! A few reviews before we went mentioned the noise of the cicadas, yes they are loud but we actually loved them. Makes you feel like you’re somewhere really exotic haha. We also saw people mention wasps on reviews. I actually did get stung on our last day near the pool so just be mindful that if you sit near the flowers there are some about. Not loads but definitely there. We stayed around the same pool all holiday, the one with the infinity pool. We loved it, always clean and always loads of sunbeds available. Check in and check out was brilliant, we got a sandwich as we arrived and then snacks were laid out for the people leaving that day. Finally the overall experience of the hotel was brilliant, we’ve never felt so relaxed and we want to thank Montana Pine for an amazing holiday!
