Just returned from the Newport after a great week. Hotel looks very impressive as you pull up & all round is very clean. Staff were helpful, our cases were carried up to our room which was really appreciated! Only down side to the room was the carpets, in other hotels, tiles cool you down.
Pool was great & clean, no rushing down at 7am for beds, most people come down for about 8.30-9am
Staff were generally very good. There were some that really friendly (Marten & reception girls) The poolside bar staff and most of the waiters (liverpool) but there was one we called mr.Grumpy at the main bar.. he was overworked, still im on holiday so please pull a smile on.
The animation team ;Hakan & Himself & his magnificent ego (lol) did work hard to get all involved during the day but the evenings could be better, best nite is Turkish nite.
The food was fine for us, plenty of fresh fruit/ salad & variety of continental food, and burger and chips for the fussy but dont let the food put you off.
the only down side to our holiday (be wary of letting females go for a massage)..not a good experience on my last day...down stairs in sauna area
its a great little hotel & we met some great people; Thanks Mark, Lyndsey & Callum (evil twins) lol it was great hanging out.,send you the pics soon!!

VERY BASIC!!!

The truth, myself and my girlfriend went to the Grand Newport expecting a lavish time, but quite frankly it wasnt.

Expect stairs not jst a few, but 7 flights of normal stairs in your home. Hope ur fit!

Food same,same and same as always!!! Staff at rec. not good.

Entertainment shocking or what entertainment???

Fantastic views, Lovely pool area... but this is not acceptable for the basics you do get! 10mins walk to gumbert centre.

4 or a 5* hotel its just not..... i wanted a luxury holiday n it spoilt my time. MOON PALACE MEXICO if you want something

In my opinion PAY for what you get!

Hi me and my husband stayed here for 15 days on an a/i holiday it was the worst i have ever stayed at and will not be going back there ,i love turkey but the grand newport does not deserve the word grand the staff at reception are not good,however the staff round the pool area cant do enough for you.the food is the same every day and to say its a/i is a laugh you can only get gin beer or vodka up to 11.00pm after that you have to pay an extortionate amount of money. as look had it we met some really nice people there and had a laugh when we went out. so if you want a 4 star which it is supposed to be then dont go there.very dissapointing holiday.in our country it would not even make a 2 star,yet if they got there act together it could be a fantastic place.

i went to turkey for the 5th time last week and really enjoyed my stay. originally i was supposed to be in another hotel however due to double booking i got moved to grand newport. i was traveling with 5 others including my dad and brothers (i am only 13) when we arrived in our hotel the reception staff were very polite and took us straight to our rooms, helping us carry our suitcases.

rooms: between the 6 of us we had 3 rooms. the rooms were equiped with a fridge, air conditioning, and a T.V. the room service was ok but could have been a little better. the rooms had no balcony or anything to hang out wet towels. the journey from the room to the pool consisted of 108 steps up which was hard work in the scorching sun.

food: the food was not brilliant. i rarely made it to breakfast after late nights. but lunch was enjoyable with lots of options of salads and puddings. hot food and meat could have been better with ,prehaps, more options. after lunch there was the burger bar
which served burgers with salad and chips. i enjoyed eating these! after burgers there was cakes. this was a small variety of biscuits and cakes. however, if u left it too long then little birds might come along and help eat it. dinner could have done with more hot options. again the salads and pudding were nice. puddings consisted of sweet cakes and healthy fruit.

pool: the pool was a lovely pool with a baby pool next to it. water activities took place during the day in the deep end. Some of the drains around the pool where a little smelly.

resources: on site there was a hair dressers, gym, mini shop, turkish baths, ping pong and a doctor on call. you could also pay to play pool/ snooker.

entertainment: the entertainment was poor and in the evenings we went out alot. in the town there was many bars and shops. the high street was a walkable distance from teh hotel.

overall i really enjoyed the holiday and WOULD reccomend to most people. maybe not O.A.P's becasue of all the steps.
