My wife and I have just returned from 2 weeks (the 1st 2 weeks of May) at Hotel Club Flipper. We found the staff very helpful and friendly. There were certain key members of staff (reception and in the animation team) that went out of their way to be helpful, friendly and made us feel special and welcome. Most of the staff we had regular contact with had good enough English. The hotel was quiet when we went as it was right at the start of the season. It was due to start to get busy from mid May onwards. Club Flipper is also a timeshare (RCI) resort. It is popular with the Turkish, Dutch and English and can have upto 1700 people on the priave peninsula where club flipper is based in high season. The entertainment team (animation team) were fun and friendly and did a good job at involving us in things that would not otherwise be our scene but we had a good laugh. They have a kids club and the animation team seemed to do a great job at looking after what few children were at the resort when we were there.
We stayed on a half board basis and the food included was fair. The food available at lunch time from the VIP bar and the A la Carte menu was significantly better but this cost more. In the season there would have been another restaurant open on the site together with more of the other facilities. The rooms were good and kept very clean. We thought the hotel was excellent value for money. The local buses come to the gate and it is easy to get to Yalikavak and Bodrum (about 1 hr) by bus. I highly recommed taking the bus to Gumusluck, a wonderful fishing village with wonderful fish restaurants.
This was our first visit to Turkey and enjoyed it. I am glad to report that we did not have any stomach upsets which is contrary to what nearly everyone we spoke to prior to our trip said. I highly recommend this hotel.

We too arrived late and were also charged for the late checkout, and tried to charge us for 2. When we TRIED to explain that we hadn't stayed 2 nights, they couldnt understand us as english is very little. The shop/restaurant/bar staff do not speak any, and this also makes things very hard. We had difficulty finding what things were on what days, as the staff just looked at us blankly when we tried to ask so we only found 1 market, and that was by chance. Staff were unhelpful, and sometimes rude. Food was average, we ate out every night, although you have to get taxis/buses into yalikavak as the hotel is away from everything, and if you are ready to take the trek to Bodrum (about 40 minutes away) then you can also do that by bus which is so much cheaper than taxis. We felt very isolated!! Hotel was ok, pool was cold and salt water one was dirty at the bottom, nothing like the pictures!! Beach was dirty, says that they offer on site watersports but again language was a problem, they just looked at you like you were mad - dont think we saw 1 person go on the jetski's while we were there., groups of men sat in the hut all day talking turkish. Felt quite intimidating!

Thought this was 4 star but merley reaching 3 star standards.
Food very poor and unedible.
Only English in hotel,hotel staff very bad no customer service non communication to us English,more interested in the other people staying at resort ie Russians,Germans,Turkish residents.
Poor standard of rooms and generally very disappointed in the facilities on offer.
Untidy beach,poor standard of service.
Charged extra for late check out but we arrived at hotel late as well at 3am and was offered a cold plate of salads and stale bread.
Would not go again to this hotel probaly try self catering,area nice but overall for hotel 2/10

This hotel was described as a hotel ideal for adults on the internet. This is a very popular Turkish Family Hotel located 3km along the coast from Yalikavak. Most of the staff does not speak English; neither do the rest of the holiday makers. This made us feel very isolated. The hotel was very noisy as the pool games which went on for most of the day was extremely loud and each hotel along the coast held this so noise was blaring from each resort. There were no walks as each hotel owned its own beach (or strip of builder’s rubble - no sand as such) and the roadway was very hilly and hot and dusty to walk along. The hotel is located at the end of a bus journey which takes 10-15 minutes to get into Yalikavak. If you want to go anywhere else you have to get a bus into Bodrum and then get another bus to where you want to go. There is only one restaurant. The hotel was packed so people were waiting for a table most of the time. If you go to dinner about 9pm you will get a dirty table and cold food. If you go to dinner between 7-8.30pm you have to wait for a table and compete with hoards of kids and families pilling their table up with plates of food. Our room was lovely. (Large and right on the beach.) Ask for 900's as these were in the best location. Unfortunately our room flooded twice and the bathroom smelt really bad as the water used was brought in from a sulphur spring. Turkey has become very expensive since I was last here 4 years ago. The hotel restaurant and supermarket charged the going rate for food although the quality of food at the hotel was not very good. Best thing we had to eat all week was the water melon. Would expect more from a 4* hotel. I would not stay at this resort again.
