stayed at the palmiye before .this year it has changed for the better.now amanda and sercan are brilliant hosts and nothings a problem.
no cooking done on the premises but the food they get in is very good.
thanks for a great holiday

Have been going to Turgutreis for past six years and have stayed in a few of the Hotels but I have to say the Palmiye Apartments are the best. We have stayed there the last three times now and are going back July 2008.

The rooms are very spacious and do include a kettle and fridge!
The maid service is very good with rooms being cleaned every day.

The apartments are in a nice quiet location (apart from the cockrel) but only a 2 minute walk to centre of town.

Atakan, Dennis and the team at Palmiye and so friendly and nothing is ever a problem for them.

In 2008 the hotel will have new owners but do not worry it is sircan and erjan from uncles restaurant who will be taking over sircan's wife Amanda who worked in the Mandalinci will also be there so you will be in very good hands as they are some of the niciest people in turgutreis.

Basic but clean appartments. Lovely pool, pool area and excellent staff that couldnt do enough for you. All very friendly and situated in a quiet location in Turgutreis.
Cant wait to go back, as usual noone wanted to leave also meet 2 lovely families that we will hopefully meet up with next year!

Very good hotel, for the money. Paid £130. BB. 1 week. through a local travel shop. tour operator was Goldtrail.

THE HOTEL: is about a 10 minute walk from the beach, 15 minutes from the ruins and main shopping or a 3 minute ride on the dolomush costing 1 lira (40p) followed by a tractor ride costing 0.50 Lira (20p)

ROOMS: Small, but adequate, clean and maintained every day, balcony. no fridge or kettle (not a prob. we sat at bar and took our own green tea, they gave us hot water)

POOL: it has a good sized swimming pool. a small bar. the staff are very friendly. Staff: ISA is the head of staff I think.

RESTAURANT: we had food from their restaurant, as did other guests. never a complaint, always comments of very nice meals. try their Hot Pot, or Fish.

EAT OUT: don't miss out on the local cake shop, fantastic range of cakes and pasties and their so cheap, slice of cake cost around 3/4 Lira (£1.50). you cant miss it 20 meters from hotel entrance across road.

EAT OUT: Also very nice family restaurant also cheap . turn left as you step out of hotel and about 70 meters up the road on the left next door to a shop ( KUMRU Restaurant). try their Kofte.

EXCURSIONS: we used an excursion company called (BABA BOOT) BOOT=BOAT. see Martin, Swiss guy with a black cap on near the bottom of the road as you walk down to the beach. we went on the £10. market trip. 2 hour at market , excellent chicken or fish lunch included on board, swimming stops and visit to the waterfall. reasonable priced drinks on board. take plenty of your own water. cos its much cheaper to take your own.

I would recommend hotel.
Hope this helps, have a nice trip. Javid.
