Generally before we go on Holiday we always look it up and read all the various reports from Trip Advisor, almost treating it as our Holiday bible. Yes i am the first one to say you can not please everybody, everyone has completely different tastes but this place takes 1st place in being to be unable to please anyone!!
What can we say, firstly the Hotel is in Gundogdu, approx 14Km outside SIDE, there is a local bus that cost 2 euro's each, each way which is good but it is just not a 10min walk into town but the last bus is at 12am, do not miss this last bus as it is a very expensive Taxi ride home..
Including us, there were in total 3 English couples there, the rest were all Germans, 80% of them over 70 and the other 19.9% being just under.
Now to be fair when you are on Holiday, you are going to be in a foreign country with obviously foreign people and to be honest we get on with everybody but the other guests within the Hotel were so rude to you (English) and to the Staff that it made the stay quite uncomfortable.
We got quite friendly with various Staff and they could not understand how rude the other 99.9% of the guests were.
It comes to a point when the Staff doesn't even like working there then you have no way in hell's chance being able to enjoy yourself!!
The Hotel itself is very basic, certainly not a 5*, i would say 2* at best but to be fair to the Staff they did keep it as clean as possible.
The beach which is a 5min walk from the Hotel is nice and sandy.
The food was nice for the first day but by the 7th day eating the same thing for Beakfast Lunch and Dinner it becomes very boring.
You had to pay for drinks after 1am, Orange juice was chargeable and so was the ice creams.
The Air con or the Fridge did not work, even after speaking to the Rep (First Choice) and the Reception on several ocasions still nothing was sorted. Even asked on several occasions for an extra pillow as you only get 1 very thin pillow each, by day 7 still no extra pillow..
We did the Lazy Boat Trip which was great, stopping off at several locations, being able to launch yourself off the Top deck (3rd Floor) of the Boat was brilliant!!
We did go into SIDE which i must say is a lovely town on several occasions just to get out the Hotel.
We do love Turkey and will go back but i would not go back to this place ever ever again.
