i would like people to read this as while looking into my holiday i looked alot on trip adviser and not everyone liked the hotel in my opinion i think they stayed somewhere else! there was four of us there myself and my boyfriend and another couple aged 21.
firstly peoples opinions on the rooms - granted they are quite small but clean and tidy bathroom again small but cleaned daily and no cracked tile in sight! fresh towels were given everyday and beds always made. Balcony again small but we got four of us around it! Also there was a security box in the room which was activated by a pin code not a key so something you dont have to carry around with you! plenty of wardrobe space too and an aircon you can activate yourself with a self timer too. Tv included with a stop on the sound so will only go so high great for those people who can hear next doors tele full blast usually! Also fridge included with mini bar which you will be charged for, we put our drinks etc in it but remember to remove every morning as they will remove it and you have to wait till the end of your trip to get back.
staff - didnt really interact with them but when we arrived they took our bags to our rooms explained everything always opened doors when came and always seemed friendly.
next the pool - plenty of sun lounges or the beach metres away also very comfy cushions to laze on. pool fairly big with a slide and stools in the pool next to poolside bar. We were told drinks would be quite expensive there but in all fairness not by much. Make sure you get up and put towel out before the rush as some people put towels out at night!
the food - this was something many people complained about 'the same every night' granted some nights there was chips or rice but expected other than that a main dish different every night with starters etc also really lovely salad bar. only thing would advise is drink local ones imported alot extra my boyfriend drank efes basically a turkish version of fosters!
day trips - we went on a boat trip and to be fair was pretty poorly organised but once your there fantastic day jumping into the sea is like hitting ice but so refreshing after the heat of the sun all day. if your not one for real heat turkey no for you very hot! Also went to the aqua park if your up for bit of fun definatley go slides for everyone although i didnt go on the vertical drop but was told it was exciting! although if go have to buy food in there we made sanwiches waste of time cant take anything in!
night time - best bar to go to is called the no name bar (literally) turn left from hotel on right not far up. bar man were hilarious made our holiday non watered down drinks and they get you very drunk! also there is the main strip not far up but this is where you get the turks trying to get you to dance all time and buy watered down drinks - still good fun got to go at least once1 best place we found there was called club tropicana cant miss it got a big yellow car at entrance! also the frog right at top is a kareoke bar!
shopping - never ever pay full price haggle all the way its so much fun, bought perfume (real too) 2 bottles one being gucci for about £28 bargin! clothes real bargin too! if one shop wont haggle just go to next one! we would hide our money and say this is all we have if say no start walking away they ll come back they cant miss business! also if your buying cigerettes its little cheaper in airport malboro £16 for 200.
the turks - this i feel most strongly about people wrote they were hassled and pulled back and were touched up which really worried me but it is all wrong never saw that at all! they were friendly had a banter with you but that was it if you said no then no it was just walk away there all good people.
I hope this has counteracted some of the bad press hotel has recived i loved my holiday there and have nothing bad to say about it.
