My family spent numerous vacations at this Hotel, since my child was two years old, and last summer 2022, she was 13. We are always in family pool rooms, all these years. It is obvious to me that the management of the Hotel changed after Covid time. The service is far from what it used to be. The area around pools adjacent to our rooms was neglected, with no enough towels and all glass bottles and cups left around for days. It is unacceptable and dangerous. I called reception and warned about, it was in vain. Just few years ago, it was such impeccable service, clean, bar guys coming around with coffee and drinks. Another big issue from last summer are foreign workers who are young, untrained and don’t speak one word of any language. These youngsters are obviously a cheap labor compared to great Turkish staff, but this is embarrassing for hotel reputation. They don’t understand the word “toilet”, or any other simple one, and they serve in hotel’s restaurants (!?) The evening shows are “glamorous “ but actually boring and outdated. The hotel invests so much time in arranging the area for evening shows, versus daily low engagements. This used to be the most wonderful Hotel, and things should be overturned again. We love Gural and we are sad that things deteriorated.

I am quite happy with the Hotel except of 2 improvements which are the reason for the missing 5th star.
1. Happyland definitely needs a makeover. The gaming rooms are mostly empty with very few (mostly broken) toys. I believe that it is hard to find good toys as kids tend to destroy everything within seconds, but I know that the market offers more long living and better toys than the ones they have. (Which might be even less costly as you do not need to replace them this often.) This was the most disappointing part seeing those rooms mostly empty. Definitely not like the pictures on the website.
2. The main restaurant is very very crowded and this isn't even main season.
Sadly I cannot give any advice here how to improve as it seems to be a people's problem that everyone is visiting the restaurant at the same time because of FOMO. (main dinner time is until 9pm but there is a late dinner until 11pm afaik, I believe people are afraid that they do not get the good stuff later on)
If the Happyland gets a few more high quality toys and the main restaurant a different concept to fight overcrowding I see myself definitely visiting this hotel again as everything else is very good.

I have been to this hotel for the fourth time and the food is the same for 4 years, the entertainment shows are almost the same for 4 years. Deluxe Pool Room should be upgraded. Otherwise, an extraordinary location, especially for those who take the Deluxe Pool Room where you have peace, no music, and the exit from the room is directly at the pool. The cleanliness of the rooms is impeccable.

We were spending one August week in Güral Premium Tekirova together with my family (wife and two kids 9, 8 years of age).
I think the most important that we would return anytime to this hotel. We spent a wonderfull week here. And the reasons why?
Rooms:
Very well equiped with everything needed. Big spaces, filled minibar for free, balcony with connection to the pool even from the 1st level. The rooms were were very clean, and was built from quility materials. The houskeeping was very kind and cleand very good. The air conditioning can be controlled easilly and if you want it can make the room temperature cooled down very quick. If not set it to auto, and it won't buther.
Food:
It is all inclusive. You can find something to eat all day. There are planty of bars neer the pools, by the sea the staff are very kind and helpfull. You can have soft drinks and alcohol all day as many as you want. You have restaurants both at the pool, and the aquaworld for daily snacks and launch where you have big buffet. Breakfast Launch and Dinner are served also at the main restaurant, where you have a very big sortiment of all kind of foods. You can find something for every king of taste. Also there the staff are very kind and helpfull. There are also several al'a cart restaurants to suplement the food service.
Activities:
There are planty of programs the hotel offers for every age to keep you amused. Sport activities, foam parties, kid programs, kindergarten, an own theater with programs for every night. For kids usually 20:30 for the older guests 21:30.
Pools:
Pools temperature are very good. Even if the hotel is full, the people are not too many in neither pools or by the sea. There are so many pools, and activities that you can not see to many people at one spot. Usually it is almost if you would have private pools, with only just some other people in it.
If you don't want to attend on the activities you can always find a quite part to relax almost alone in the pool and enjoy a nice cold drink.
Summary:
It was one of the best weeks for holiday we have spent together with my family. The kids had planty of program, the parents had some relax and also enjoyed spending time together. We had very good meals, and nice sleep in the comfortable beds. We are returning home with planty of joy, memories, and relaxed.
For sure we will return to Güral Premium Tekirova in the future.

Wonderful and unforgetable experience for the whole family! A huge hotel resort. It deserved every penny paid. Very kind and professional staff, welcoming and warm! One of the best hotel resort I have ever been to. Liked every corner of it. Amazing food varieties. Free mini bar in your room. A huge terrace. If you choose a pool room, you will get an upper level experience, it's like having a clean pool just for yourself and your family. One of the utmost feeling for me was when you get up in early morning and you get immediately into the pool alone. Worth visiting! Lovely location. This is a perfect option for you if you are looking for a peaceful, calm and restful holiday, although, at the same time, you can enjoy a show and a live music every night. 🙂 🎊 ☀️
