Sunis Kumkoy Beach Resort Hotel & Spa

The Kumkoy is an all-inclusive resort that’s especially popular with German families. The fairly low-rise design sets it apart from neighboring properties, and the gorgeous, well-cared-for grounds include villa-style accommodations in addition to the five-story main building. The large, modern and attractive split-level lobby has vaulted white ceilings sporting chandeliers, plus indoor palm trees, elegant modern art canvases, and natural light. Downstairs, decor is still pleasant overall, but slightly more dated, with dark-wood-fronted, brown-marble-topped reception desks, and old-fashioned rectangular chandelier-style downlighting. There’s busy brown floral-patterned floor tiling, and dated brown armchairs. The outdoor deck is pleasant, but has outdated furniture. Outside, the beautiful gardens are planted with palm trees and handsome wooden bridges cross the lovely pools.

Between a busy road and the beach, and surrounded by other hotels, the Kumkoy Beach Resort is in a central location that’s walking distance from nearby shops, cafes, restaurants, and bars.- 10 minutes to Monumental Fountain by car

Rooms are largely spacious, bright, and modern -- if a tad generic in parts. There are tan-wood headboards and bedside tables, pale wood-laminate flooring, and white walls with neutral accents. Windows are framed by white net curtains and brown blackout curtains. Brown bed throws (in some rooms) are on the dated side, and there are work desks, plus small closets and cabinets. Small, largely enclosed balconies have simple outdoor furniture; many rooms have lovely pool and sea views, though cheaper rooms face inland.Some Standard Rooms sleep up to three in a double and a single bed, while Family Rooms sleep four between master bedrooms and second bedrooms with twin beds (and some bunk beds), and have large balconies. Four-person Grand Floor Deluxe Rooms have similar amenities overall, but rooms are brighter thanks to lodge-style pinewood furniture throughout, plus floral linens, tree-branch-style wall murals, and gray-brown curtains, though faux-tile accent wall paneling looks a tad odd. These rooms also have lovely large poolside balconies, set with sun beds, tables, and chairs. Amenities in all units include air-conditioning, flat-screen TVs, phones, free Wi-Fi, safes, stocked minibars (no liquor), and coffee- and tea-making facilities.Entry-level bathrooms are modern and attractive but small-ish, with cream-gray wall tiling, brown marble-effect vanities featuring slightly dated submerged sinks, and walk-in showers with power showerheads. Others are more up-to-date with countertop sinks, green mosaic splashbacks, and rainfall showerheads. In two-bedroom accommodations, master bathrooms come with shower/tub combos, and second bathrooms have walk-in showers. Hairdryers, robes, slippers, and pump toiletries are provided.

Facilities at the Kumkoy include a variety of swimming pools. There's a large, modern indoor pool area with a hot tub and sun beds. The main outdoor pool is surrounded by sun beds and umbrellas, and there’s a smaller kids’ pool, plus another pool with a number of  waterslides. There’s direct access to Kumkoy Beach, with sun beds for resort guests under large parasol-type shelters, plus beachside showers. The main restaurant serves breakfast, lunch, and dinner buffets, and five a la carte restaurants serve various international cuisines. The resort is all-inclusive, and guests can dine at the a la carte restaurants an unlimited number of times, though reservations are required, and dress codes apply. The restaurants get good reviews (though they can get crowded) and have plenty of alfresco seating, as does the poolside bar, which serves drinks and snacks. The modern spa has a sauna and Turkish bath, and there’s a large, fully equipped gym, ping-pong and billiards facilities, an outdoor playground, and popular live entertainment. Reliable Wi-Fi is free throughout.
