Arrived in the early hours of the morning. Reception staff were friendly and helpful and a bellboy took us to our room and showed us how to use the airconditioning remote. We were situated in block 3 on the second floor. The room was small but had been recently refurbished so was clean and modern with plenty of wardrobe and cupboard space. The bathroom had a huge walk-in shower, sink with large drawer underneath and a w.c..The tiny balcony ( only 2 chairs would fit) looked out over the gardens and forest. This meant that our room never got too hot. The restaurant was large and spacious, the food was varied ( a good mix of Turkish and English) so something for everybody. The waiters were efficient and friendly. Other reviewers have mentioned cats wondering around but we didn't see any in the restaurant although they did wander around outside. The 2 pools were kept spotlessly clean. The quiet pool was just that. No music, games or noisy guests. Ideal for reading, listening to your MP3 and generally relaxing. There is a bar which is open all day which also provides snacks at lunchtime. The main pool is freeform with a slide which is switched on 2 or 3 times a day. The entertainment team ( only 2 men when we were there) organise darts, pool, water polo etc. There is a pool bar which again is open from 9a.m. til 8p.m. Never any queues and lovely staff. No race for sunbeds in the mornings but we were not there in the high season. Every sunbed had a thin mattress. By the end of the 2 weeks my bottom was so sore I thought I might be getting a bedsore!!! The hotel put on a free shuttle bus down to the blue lagoon in Olu Deniz everyday. It picked you up at 10.30 and dropped you back at 4.30. The sea water was alot warmer than the hotel pools which were very cold.. The evening entertainment was dire. We saw a couple of acts in the 2 weeks that were quite good but apart from that it was bingo, Karioke, quizzes e.t.c. Although the Hotel is a bit remote it is easy enough to walk down the hill to the main road where you can get a dolmus to Olu Deniz, Hisaronu and Fetiye. All of which are worth a visit. We usually got a taxi back as the walk back up the hill to the Hotel was a killer!!! The weather in September was fantastic. Very hot during the day and cooler in the evening. Overall we had a lovely holiday. Many guests return year after year and I always think that says alot about a hotel. We met lots of lovely people of all ages..Very few children at this time of year. Would we go back? Yes, probably for a week. If there was more going on in the evening we might think about staying longer. The entertainment team need to get there act together (excuse the pun).
