Cocos Club Solto Cesme: Turkey's HOTTEST Beach Club? (You HAVE to See This!) - A Review That's Actually Real (And a Little Messy)
Okay, buckle up buttercups, because I'm about to spill the tea – or, you know, the iced Turkish coffee – on Cocos Club Solto Cesme. Is it really the hottest beach club in Turkey? Well, let's just say my credit card is still recovering. And my liver. And maybe a tiny corner of my soul.
Accessibility: A Mixed Bag (But Mostly Good News!)
First things first, because this is important: Accessibility. I need to be upfront. I don't personally have any mobility issues, but I did observe things. The official listings tout "Facilities for disabled guests," and I'd say it's mostly true. The main areas – the restaurant, the pool, the beach – seemed pretty navigable. I saw ramps, and the pathways were relatively flat. However, some of the areas, especially closer to the more 'exclusive' sunbeds on the sand were a bit tougher – more like a sandy climb. They also have an elevator - HUGE plus.
My First Impression: A Sensory Overload (In the Best Way)
Walking into Cocos? Forget serene beaches and gentle waves. This is a vibe. Think pulsating bass, sun-kissed bodies (and I am not talking the fit ones - a real mix!), and the kind of Instagram-worthy scenery that makes you want to quit your job, right then and there, and just live in a bikini.
[Let's Pause Here For a Moment of Sheer, Unadulterated Appreciation of The View - The Pool and the People.]
The pool! Oh, the pool! It’s not just a pool, it's a statement. Turquoise perfection, shimmering under the Aegean sun. And then there are the people. A glorious kaleidoscope of humanity: Families with toddlers, sleek couples, groups of friends celebrating a special weekend. You get the idea. And the sheer volume of people… it's a bit of a whirlwind the whole day.
Dining, Drinking & Snacking: Prepare Your Wallet (and Your Stomach!)
Right, the important stuff. Food and drink. This is where things get interesting. Dining, drinking, and snacking here? It's a feast for the senses (and, let's be honest, the bank account).
- Restaurants: They have more than one. I'm a sucker for a Buffet in restaurant. The breakfast buffet? Omg, it was chef's kiss. Freshly baked bread, a mind-boggling array of cheeses, and the freshest fruit I've ever seen. And the Asian breakfast options were stellar. I’m drooling just thinking about it. They also had a proper Vegetarian restaurant and International cuisine in restaurant, which I did appreciate!
- Bars: Poolside bar is your friend. The Bar situation is on point. The cocktails are expertly crafted (and dangerously delicious). I did try a Happy hour, which helped ease the pain of the price tags.
- Snacks: You can grab a Snack bar type thing. Everything from pizzas to salads.
- Room Service: I was too busy being poolside, so I didn’t use this.
A Little Anecdote About the Food (Because, Seriously, It’s Worth It)
Okay, so the salad. I’m a sucker for a good salad, and Cocos takes this seriously. So, the salad I had one day was… unforgettable. I still have dreams about it. It wasn’t just the fresh ingredients; it was the presentation. It was a work of art. I’m still thinking about how they did that salad.
Hygiene and Safety: Feeling Safe Post-Pandemic?
Okay, let’s get to the nitty-gritty: Cleanliness and safety. You know I was watching, especially after everything we’ve been through. The staff were all masked up and definitely took it seriously.
- Anti-viral cleaning products? Check.
- Daily disinfection in common areas? I saw it happening.
- Hand sanitizer everywhere.
- Rooms sanitized between stays? They mentioned it to me.
- Sanitized kitchen and tableware items? Felt clean.
- And, of course, Staff trained in safety protocol.
For the Relaxed… and The Rejuvenated:
Body wrap, Body scrub, Sauna, Spa, Spa/sauna, Steamroom, Fitness center, Foot bath, Gym/fitness, Massage, Pool with view
The spa situation? Fancy. I mean, really fancy. I didn't indulge in everything, because, you know, budget, but the massage I had was amazing. Just absolute bliss. Seriously, I nearly fell asleep on the table. It had that Pool with view thing going on, too. The fitness center was alright.
Things to do… or Not to Do. It's Your Call!
So, what else is there to do? Honestly? Mostly, you just relax. You lie by the pool, you swim, you soak up the sun. There were also Meetings and Seminars happening - I didn't attend, but the possibilities were there.
The Rooms: Luxurious, but Remember That Beach Vibe
Okay, the Available in all rooms situation. The rooms are pretty slick. Additional toilet? Check. Air conditioning? Naturally! Alarm clock, Bathrobes, Bathroom phone, Bathtub, Blackout curtains, Carpeting, Closet, Coffee/tea maker, Complimentary tea, Daily housekeeping, Desk, Extra long bed, Free bottled water, Hair dryer, High floor, In-room safe box, Interconnecting room(s) available, Internet access – LAN, Internet access – wireless, Ironing facilities, Laptop workspace, Linens, Mini bar, Mirror, Non-smoking, On-demand movies, Private bathroom, Reading light, Refrigerator, Safety/security feature, Satellite/cable channels, Scale, Seating area, Separate shower/bathtub, Shower, Slippers, Smoke detector, Socket near the bed, Sofa, Soundproofing, Telephone, Toiletries, Towels, Umbrella, Visual alarm, Wake-up service, Wi-Fi [free], Window that opens.
The Imperfect Bit:
I might be nitpicking here, but the Wi-Fi was a bit dodgy at times. The free one was slow.

Okay, buckle up buttercups, because we're not just planning a trip to Cocos The Club Solto Cesme, Turkey, we're feeling it. This isn't a bullet-pointed itinerary, this is… well, this is me, crammed into a sun-baked Turkish adventure. Expect sunstroke and maybe a mild existential crisis or two.
Cocos The Club Solto Cesme: Operation "Get Me Out of Here (But Also, Maybe, Never)"
Prologue: The Pre-Trip Panic (AKA My Luggage is Currently a Black Hole of Anxiety)
Ugh. Packing. The bane of my existence. Three weeks before departure, my suitcase sits in the corner, a smug, empty void. I know I should be prepping. Swimsuits? Check. Sunscreen? (Probably expired from last year, let's be real). But the anxiety… it's a monster. Am I forgetting something crucial? Will I be overdressed? Underdressed? Will the airport security guy give me side-eye because I’m carrying enough toiletries to fill a small pharmacy? Questions, questions… the answer: probably yes to all of the above.
But Cocos! Blue waters! Sunsets! Maybe, just maybe, this trip can be my "Eat, Pray, Love" but with more cocktails and less self-actualization… (I haven’t read the book, but I get the gist.)
Day 1: Arrival & Coastal Dreams (And the Great Suncream Catastrophe)
- Morning (7:00 AM - 12:00 PM): Istanbul Airport, which, let's be honest, is probably bigger than my hometown. The queue for passport control? A beautiful exercise in patience, which I clearly lack. Finally, freedom! A taxi to the airport. Already sweating, already feeling that holiday heat. Then, the glorious sight: Cocos! The Club. The turquoise water. The… a very small beach. Ah, the reality of Instagram vs actual life. (Still pretty great, though).
- Afternoon (12:00 PM - 5:00 PM): Check-in. Room. Beautiful. But the balcony? Directly facing the sun. Brilliant. I’m basically a rotisserie chicken in a seashell condo. This is where the first crisis hits. I can't find the suncream in my suitcase-blackhole-of-doom. Panic. Frantic unpacking. The contents of my bag erupt onto the balcony. Finally! Triumph! Except… the expiry date? 2022. Oh. Wonderful. I use it anyway. A little skin cancer never hurt anyone, right? (Joking. Mostly joking).
- Evening (5:00 PM - 10:00 PM): Cocktails at the beach bar – necessary. The sun is finally setting. The colours are ridiculous. The sound of the waves is hypnotizing. I order one of those fancy cocktails with the little umbrella. I spill it on my white linen trousers. (Why did I wear white linen on the first day?!) Whatever. Embrace the mess. The sea air, the friendly staff, and the delicious Turkish food make it worth staying.
Day 2: Cesme Town Exploration & That Fish That Got Away (My Emotional Attachment to Seafood)
- Morning (9:00 AM - 1:00 PM): Breakfast at the hotel. Turkish breakfast is literally everything. I eat approximately two kilos of cheese, olives, and bread. I may, or may not, have already contemplated moving here permanently.
- Afternoon (1:00 PM - 6:00 PM): A ferry ride to Cesme Town. It's charming, the shops are buzzing, the people are smiling. The wind is blowing. I got lost in the narrow streets. I feel like I am dreaming. I almost get run over by a scooter. I’m not sure if I’m enjoying the experience or if I’m having a bit of a breakdown.
- Evening (6:00 PM - 10:00 PM): Dinner at… the harbourside seafood restaurant (I can't, for the life, of me, remember the name, but it was rated). Everyone raves about it. I order the grilled whole sea bass. It’s supposed to be perfect. But… it's not. Well, the fish itself was perfect, flakey and delicious. But I dropped my fork. Then I had to ask a waiter for a new one - which was fine by me. But then I spilled my wine. Down my already stained white linen trousers. I'm starting to feel like a walking disaster. I feel like I am living the Turkish dream.
Day 3: Beach Bliss & The Art of Doing Absolutely Nothing (The Importance of Napping and Self-Loathing)
- Morning (9:00 AM - 12:00 PM): Wake up with a massive sunburn. The expired sunscreen betrayed me. Apply copious amounts of aloe vera and contemplate the meaning of life.
- Afternoon (12:00 PM - 5:00 PM): Beach life. Laying by the sea side. Sun, sand, repeat. I read a book. I nap. I wake up regretting all the choices that led to this exact moment. I try not to think about all the work piling up back home. I fail. I decide to order another cocktail to help me through the crisis.
- Evening (5:00 PM - 10:00 PM): Sunset. Spectacular. I actually, genuinely feel happy. It's a moment of pure, unadulterated joy. Then I remember I have to pack…
Day 4: Jet Skiing & The Terrifying Beauty of Speed (And My Near-Death Experience)
- Morning (10:00 AM - 12:00 PM): Brave the jet skis. I'm not going to lie; I'm terrified. The instructor's English is… well, let's just say we have a communication gap. But I give it a shot. I hit the throttle. Whoosh! This is amazing! The turquoise water whips past. I feel like I'm in a music video.
- Afternoon (12:00 PM - 3:00 PM): The aftermath. I was reckless. Maybe a little too reckless. There was a near-miss with a buoy. The instructor shakes his head. I'm pretty sure I aged ten years in about thirty seconds. I still feel the adrenaline rush.
- Evening (6:00 PM - 10:00 PM): Dinner at the hotel restaurant. The staff is familiar by now. They offer me some sort of delicious dessert. It's the kind of dessert you would die for. Or kill for.
Day 5: Departing & The Post-Holiday Blues (Goodbye, Turkey, I'll Be Back… Maybe)
- Morning (9:00 AM - 12:00 PM): Last breakfast. Attempt to cram everything back into that suitcase of chaos. Fail. Resorted to sitting on the suitcase to close it. It works.
- Afternoon (12:00 PM - 5:00 PM): Taxi to Izmir. The airport's a blur. Security. Pre-flight drinks. The realization that I haven’t eaten a single vegetable in five days.
- Evening (5:00 PM - 10:00 PM): The flight. The landing. Back home. The sadness. The tan. The memories. The knowledge that I'll be dreaming of Turkish delights and sun-drenched beaches for weeks to come. And the slight hope that I’ll actually learn to pack properly next time. Probably not. But hey, at least I’ll have a great story to tell.
Postscript: The Aftermath
I’m back. I'm tanned. I'm slightly sunburnt. My white linen trousers may never recover. But you know what? It was bloody brilliant. Cocos The Club Solto Cesme, you beautiful, complicated, sun-drenched, seafood-filled mess. I'll be seeing you again. And next time, I'm bringing a bigger suitcase. And maybe, just maybe, a functioning brain. (Probably not).
