What’s on the menu
At Sianji Wellbeing Resort, variety is the spice of life and it shows in their range of dishes and delicacies. Sianji is home to some great detox programmes but not everyone has to follow this plan. ‘Normal’ food is widely available too. If you are following a detox programme you will dine in a separate restaurant to the 'leisure' guests to avoid any temptations.
Sianji has built a certified organic farm to produce our own organic vegetables, fruits and eggs.

Très bien mais le personnel de la réception est moins bien formé
Communication en anglais difficile
Les jus manquaient de générosité

Effective stay for detox and healthy diet and exercise. Beautiful setting. Main restaurant food could be better. Could improve cleanliness of rooms and some refurbishment would be good.
Amanda Birrane
Beautiful resort, good for saintly detoxers and for sinful excercising drinkers like me.
Andrew Leach
Great detox programme - been 3 times now and its like a second home

Beautiful setting, great food, extremely helpful and pleasant staff.
However very little English is spoken or understood. So if one experiences an issue or there is any deviation from the standard you will have problems.
It’s a top dollar resort and they are charging Euro prices and many of the services are rather expensive I would have expected better.
I would however return and I would recommend the Siaji

Overall good value for money. I was on the 80/20 diet and the quality and variety of food can be improved. The salads could be more varied, the quality of soup served much better and more filling, the boiled eggs too hard and the vegetables were way too over cooked to name but a few areas.

all staff great, from Yoga to juice bar staff

Sianji is the perfect destination in Turkey for me. It is not perfect t for everyone if you expect 5 star service and sometimes there are little things that don’t always work but it doesn’t mater, the staff are amazing, the spa is incredible, the food programmes are wonderful and I just love it. I’ve been 6 times for a complete detox and relaxed time and I come back feeling more refreshed each time with the batteries fully recharged! I have a stressful job and this is the perfect antidote.
My advice would be to try and find out more about the vast array of treatments they offer as sometimes they need more explanation and they have such a variety!

Regarding the resort I rate it below average and expensive. I think they need to have more structured program especially for first timers, and a good comprehensive orientation to manage expectations would be nice
Regarding the resort I rate it below average and expensive. I think they need to have more structured program especially for first timers, and a good comprehensive orientation to manage expectations would be nice, this dos not require only knowledge but also a pleasent personality that can coach the guest through the program
Generally the staff is ok, but they don't make any efforts for that extra mile to meet your expectation. They do "just enough" to meet the contractual obligations. Example: a true genuine nice smile can be a good start
The other issue I noticed is that they don't have language issues, they have communication issues because you never feel that they are trying to communicate as if they are trying to punish you for not understanding their language!!!

Very good value for money.

This is my 2nd visit to Sianji which is in a lovely quiet area with beautiful scenery. The variety of food options including detox/ raw food or full board means there is something for everyone and the facilities are modern and clean. Last year I went solo and this year took a couple of friends and it is perfect for both. There were a couple of small children around but on the whole very quiet and relaxing but I'd go out of season if you want to avoid children. There are local markets and restaurants which are great if you want to break of of the detox or just explore the local area. I would love to go again next year.

Just returning from a great two weeks at the Sianji Weel-Being Resort near Gümüşlük Turkey over 6kg lighter (that's a stone) raw food vegan diet which was delicious, no alcohol or caffeine !!! 5km walks every morning,Pilates,Aqua Gym etc.
The service from the guys at the juice bar is first class ensuring you keep to diet with lots of encouragement and useful tips.

I could not fault this resort. The room was clean and spacious with modern decor. The staff were friendly and always willing to help you with anything you required. The facilities were absolutely brilliant and the spa particularly was excellent.
Abi Harper
Nice 5 star hotel but not great if you are expecting peace and quiet for what has been marketed as a Wellbeing break. Very noisy. Need more than 1 yoga session per day. Poor customer service from reception/service staff with little English language skills.
Julia Collis
Mixed review - location and hotel great. Facilities great. Reception desk average. Food could have been a little more interesting even though it was the 80/20 diet. I tried to move rooms after the first couple of nights as I was overlooking the pool and it was extremely noise from the live bands and also the neighbouring hotel. Dance music continued until 1am most nights. I asked to move and was initially not able to due to high guest numbers then was moved but the room was still extremely noise. As the hotel was fully booked there were no other rooms available. Suggest that wellbeing guests are put into room at the back of the hotel in future

Would go back again tomorrow

This is a resort with a detox spa attached, so there are other people enjoying a 'normal' holiday with drinks and music round the pool, and great food, which is a little challenging for those on a juice detox to see! Wellbeing Escapes managed by expectations well, so I wasn't expecting the luxury and serenity of other escapes, so for the price, I felt this was fine. Rooms are spacious and well equipped, if a little 'corporate' in feel. Staff are generally friendly, though the standard of English spoken varies, which makes communication difficult on occasion. If you are looking for an activity holiday, you may find the daily classes insufficiently challenging and varied: I'd like to see some more strenuous workouts added to the schedule. The juice detox element is well organised, and I found it surprisingly easy. The spa is good, but very expensive (easily London prices) to add additional treatments. Whilst the resort is away from the towns, you can walk to a small village in 20 minutes and the nearest town is 15 mins on the bus, or an hour walk down the beach. There's a great market and marina there. Getting to Bodrum is 2 buses or a rather expensive taxi, but worth the trip. I'd recommend Sianji for anyone looking for a cheap detox holiday who is happy to swap the long haul flight for the Asian spas for a little less zen and luxury.
