Montana Pine Resort

Just returned from a weeks holiday in Montana Pine resort and it was brilliant. To date it's the only hotel I have returned too and this year was our third visit.

The staff are brilliant and can't do enough for you, the gardens are lovely and the whole complex is spotless. The food choice is amazing with fresh omelettes, fried eggs and pancakes made for you every breakfast time,on top of all the other choices you will never go hungry. Dinner is just as good with to many dishes to name. Twice a week they take everything outside and they serve dinner around the pool which is a lovely change.

With a new Spa, hairdresser and gym added for this year it just gets better and better.

Would never return to this resort again. Trip advisor and other review sites only portray the good experiences (approximately 10% of overall guests), trust me there are enough bad experiences to stop you from booking this resort. Firstly it is in the middle of nowhere and cannot be described as being in Olu Deniz, it is closer to Hisaranou which is some miles up the hill. Hisaranou is a lively resort which compliments the dire programme on offer here. The food is awful. A family we met with children ate out every day and night for two weeks. Entertainment is the worst I have ever had the misfortune to endure. Staff are all false and seem unnerved at their management and some staff are very disrespectful and can make your holiday stressful and uncomfortable. Overall a place to avoid. There are many, many better resorts on offer in the region. More people should bother to give their true experience of this place to demonstrate this is not a platinum resort by far. It is simply a 3 star at best which should not offer any board basis what so ever. Daytimes long, uneventful and boring. Night times disturbed as mentioned above by painful drawn out entertainment! Only positive is, the cleaners keep the place spotless and ground staff keep the gardens nice. Overall in a nutshell. Families with children there is nothing to do. Young couples will be bored, hungry and stressed. Older guests will struggle to move out of the hotel unless in a taxi as it is perched on a cliff side. This place needs a complete overhaul and until such time I seriously suggest you think twice before even considering this for your holiday. Its motto, "for a truly relaxing holiday" is a total disgrace. If you want to waste your money and dismiss the above then go but I can assure you, you will reflect on this review and wish you had taken notice.

My husband and I stayed at the Montana Pines for a week in July, I booked directly with the hotel, they arrange for you to be collected from the airport we arrived in the early hours of the morning, the driver was very friendly and provided us with a bottle of water for the journey, on arrival at the hotel we were greeted with a glass of freshly squeezed orange juice, and shown to our room. The rooms are not large, but perfectly fine and very clean with a lovely bathroom. We had a mountain room with a lovely view. The service in the restaurant is second to none, the staff are fantastic, the food which is buffet style is very nice, the evening meal is served around the pool twice a week and the selection of food is amazing, freshly prepared and very tasty, the desert table is to die for! The best selection of deserts I have ever seen.

The pools are very clean and the gardens are immaculate, the gardeners seem to work all hours, and it shows.

The hotel also runs a bus down to Olu Denis twice a day, so if you want to go to the Blue Lagoon just hop on the bus.

All in all we had a fantastic week here relaxing, but if you want a bit more adventure the are plenty of excursions available, the Montana Pine boat trip is apparently very good although we didn't try it. Book early though it's very popular. I would recommend Montana Pines to anyone. We will certainly be going back.
