Terrible Experience – Pushy and Rude Owner, Felt Unsafe

Our visit to this beach club was extremely disappointing and uncomfortable from the moment we arrived. As soon as our taxi dropped us off, the owner rushed over—not to greet us, but to immediately engage with the driver and push us into using their services. It felt aggressive and staged.

He was very pushy, trying to pressure us into booking activities before we even had a chance to look around or get settled. The parasailing, for example, was ridiculously overpriced—he quoted over 185 euros, which is far above the usual rates in the area. When we politely declined, his attitude turned cold and confrontational.

The owner proceeded to stare us down, making the whole experience incredibly uncomfortable. His behavior was rude, unprofessional, and borderline intimidating. At no point did we feel welcome or relaxed. Instead, we felt pressured and watched, which completely ruined what was supposed to be a fun day at the beach.

This place did not feel safe or hospitable, and I strongly advise others to avoid it. There are many better and more respectful options along the coast—this is not one of them.

Avoid...

Upon arrival, we were immediately met with pushy behavior that felt like an attempt to scam us. We had gone there to try parasailing, something I had done before in Antalya for around €25 per person. This time, however, they quoted a staggering €185 — for an activity that doesn't even last an hour.

When I questioned the price, the staff tried to gaslight us by blaming inflation, which clearly doesn’t justify such an extreme markup. One of them even compared it to the cost of a water bottle now versus a few years ago — a completely unreasonable comparison. It felt like they were trying to belittle us and make us feel foolish for questioning them.

After deciding not to go ahead, we noticed the staff giving us strange looks and continuing to stare while we were trying to decide where to go next, which only added to the discomfort.

Thankfully, we left and found another beach club where we were treated much better and could actually enjoy our time. I wouldn’t recommend this place based on how we...

I went there on Saturday afternoon at around 2 p.m. with my family (4 persons). I wanted to try this place because it had a playground for my toddler son. They initially asked 250 TL for a cheapest sunbed, but after negotiation we agreed on 150 TL per person.

At some point the music became too loud. I went to ask the DJ to make it less noisy. He said he will do it in 10 mins, which he didn’t. I asked again then, and now he said it will be like this until 6 p.m. Other customers were also complaining about too loud music because of which we couldn’t even hear the sound of the sea waves. But they ignored out requests.

Eventually, after 30-40 minutes we decided to leave and move to another place. 600 TL was paid. We went to Gaga Beach (5 min walk from Haylaz) and had a great day paying just 100 TL per person (no negotiation).

Overall, unless you like loud music and paying extra money, I wouldn’t recommend...
