We just came back from a holiday in ASOS, Turkey, 13 August 2006.

However I do not advise anyone to go and stay in the hotel called Assos Park Hotel, near Kadirga Beach. Apart from the waiters, the staff at the reception is extremely unhelpful.

They have got some rooms at the top floor, which are awfully uncomfortable. To be able to go to the balcony you have to on your fours and crawl! Watch out, they charge the same amount of money for this room, comparing to the normal rooms. Also if you want a quiet holiday keep away from the hotel. There are too many families with noisy children. I must also warn you that there is a live, but noisy music played every evening all throughout the evening meal till midnight. You have no chance of having a peaceful meal. And the same music and songs are repeated every evening.

The food. Same breakfast every morning. The cold food (meze) is the same every evening. Quality is OK. But the food supposed to come warm usually comes warmish. Kitchen and serving staff rushed off their feet. They have been exploited badly. They even sleep by the swimming pool after midnight. Cheap labour!
No customer care! Worst of all, when my husband got ill with sunstroke let alone calling a doctor for us they didn't even have a phone number for a doctor. They just shrugged their shoulder and turned their back.

Try finding a different place if you want to have a HOLIDAY!

Assos Park Hotel is a couple of kilometres from the Assos/Behramkale township and ruins, back along the coast. It is a pleasant four-star hotel, with comfortable rooms, a lovely pool and outdoor dining area, and access to its own "beach", with sun lounges. Not being at all unkind, this is a very Turkish hotel. Very little English was spoken by staff, but the food (Turkish) is superb. Wine is very expensive ($40 Australian for a half bottle of wine). Will suit people who want to experience the places that well-off locals would go to. Could be a bit noisy in the height of summer (it is adjacent to a camping ground), but quiet enough when we were there in early June.
