Quente Beach Club

After reading the reviews, it seems like we were fortunate with the staff as they were all extremely friendly. While they strongly encourage cash payments at the entrance, we were able to pay by card, although this was a one-time exception. The sunbed entrance fee is 350 TL, and children under 9 years old can enter for free. We decided to order some food and were pleasantly surprised by how delicious everything was. The salad was exceptional, the pizza was also great, and they even had tasty tenders for our 5-year-old. They also serve a delightful pide with Nutella. Interestingly, we were allowed to bring our own water without any issues. Additionally, there is a man selling delicious corn on the beach. The sea is quite shallow, only 40 meters, making it perfect for a family vacation. The majority of the crowd consisted of large families with children, which made it enjoyable on a weekday. However, I can imagine it might get quite noisy on the weekends. Similar to other places, the staff didn't speak English, but this didn't cause any inconvenience. The prices for food, cocktails, and sunbeds are the most affordable among private beaches in Alacati and Cesme. Lastly, the sea is stunning, clean, and crystal clear.

I visited the beach three times and found it to be great value for money, especially from a German perspective. The service was very nice and it was perfect for families with kids. The entry fee of around 10 euros per person even includes valet parking. It would be helpful if reservations were accepted, and I found it a bit odd that they only accepted cash at the entry. However, overall, I would still rate it 5 out of 5.

Overall, this used to be a fantastic spot with peaceful and warm waters. However, it is disheartening to note that the entrance policy is highly discriminatory. As a father of six-year-old twins, we were denied entry (despite a long journey and wait) on the grounds that they only permit "traditional" families, consisting of a man, a woman, and 1-3 children. Any other individual or family arrangement is rejected. If this were to occur elsewhere, a discrimination lawsuit would likely be imminent. Unfortunately, the local authorities in Cesme do not seem to be concerned. During previous visits, we enjoyed the beach itself but were dissatisfied with the service. The waitstaff were rude and slow, and the quality of the food was poor. They even scolded us and prevented us from feeding our children with our own snacks after they spat out the meals we had purchased.

The entrance fee is 350 TL per person, and we paid for four people. They only accept cash, no card payments. Unfortunately, it's not a family-friendly beach. They don't offer gluten-free food options, and they also didn't allow us to bring our own gluten-free biscuits for the children. Additionally, they didn't allow us to bring a water bottle for our child, even though we planned to spend the entire day there and have lunch and dinner. We had three toddlers with us.

Negatives: The beach lacks diaper changing facilities and WiFi, and at the entrance, they strongly encourage cash payments despite having the option to accept cards. Additionally, the menu does not display any prices. Positives: The waters are beautiful, the service is satisfactory, and the entrance fee is slightly more affordable compared to other beach clubs.
