It was really hard to decide whether to stay at this hotel because of all the mixed reviews on here but you should judge it for yourself just like we did.
We arrived home yesterday and had a great time. We were very relieved when being dropped off at this hotel compared to the hotels we passed on the way! It may be at the top of the hill but there is a dolmus bus which passes by every 5-10 mins to take you wherever you need to go for about 2 lira (1 pound a go)
Fair enough there are a lot of stairs to the room where we were at the bottom but at the end of the day we didn't really mind and could do with the exercise!! The staff carry your cases as well at any time so don't worry about that. If you do really want to be moved though have your rep speak to the manager and they will happily move you if they are not full.
Food was really nice as there was a good selection of chicken, red meat, fish and vegetarian dishes. There was plenty of salad and a great selection of puds! The only thing that may be difficult though is food for kids but its a good place to educate their pallets.
In between lunch and dinner is a snack bar which serves burgers and chips if you are feeling peckish.
I don't understand why some people were disappointed with the food as your in Turkey after all!
All inclusive drinks include vodka, gin, raki, wine, beer and soft drinks anything international and past 11pm you had to pay for which is usually indicated when buying the holiday.
Drinks weren't watered down but if you do find them a bit weak the barmen don't have any problem in topping them up as we found out and are in large cups and not plastic.
The small plastic cups are used for soft drinks only and if you want more just order 2! ( Something to do with being easier to tidy up - fair enough)
The rooms were clean and tidy, good bathrooms with powerful showers and were cleaned everyday and towels were replaced regularly and ther a/c worked great and the doors locked fine but i'm sure some people have problems. (prev review)
There is a safe in every room for a small fee of about 15 pound to keep your passports in etc. Nothing went missing apart from my shoes but that was totally my fault!!!
Staff were all really friendly and looked after everyone and they will quite happily carry you down the stairs if you are a bit worse for wear like my friend one night.
The staff love children and they will always make time for them which was sweet.
Entertainment was ok, something was going on every night Haken (entertainment guy) tries to get people up and join in which was sometimes a pain but i guess he's just doing his job!
Daytime was the same with water polo and volleyball etc
We went in to Gumbet most nights and found this good, plenty of bars and clubs to go to but try to barter for the booze to as some bars try their luck although dancing on the bar seems to work!
All in all we had a really good time and would recommend this hotel to all types of people. If you don't have stupidly high expectations this is the place to go!
