Akcay Resort beach

Tekin "RIZAN" YILMAZ
There are no facilities available anymore. The land is up for sale and the buildings that were once part of the railways are now in ruins. However, there is a small buffet that offers sun lounger service. The only positive aspect is that there is a public beach right in the center of Akçay. It's a nice spot to simply grab a chair, an umbrella, and relax.

This place is definitely not worth visiting!
When we inquired about the price beforehand, we were informed that the sunbed fee per person is 200 TL, which would be deducted from our food and drink expenses. We agreed to this arrangement. However, when we went to settle our bill later, they claimed that the sunbed fee does not cover the cost of eating and drinking, even though we never agreed to such terms. When we raised our concerns, they responded with anger and tried to escalate the situation.
On the same day, I witnessed several other people having the same argument with the cashier. Additionally, I observed instances of bullying behavior towards other customers.
The restroom facilities were extremely dirty. Most of the items listed on the menu were not available, and the food that did arrive was served cold.
Authorities with the appropriate jurisdiction should definitely investigate this establishment, considering the numerous complaints they have received.
