My friend and I stayed here for 8 days in june, and had a very chilled girly holiday..on a arrival at the airport we were greeted by a guy who asked us our tour operator, and then took our bags from us, which we thought was a nice touch, only he demanded a tip when we got to the coach, with which he was more than happy to take the only change we had!!! We'd read that transfer time was an hour half max, but after 7drop offs later it was 2 and half hours.first impression of the resort left us wanting to jump back on the coach and return to the airport, but im so glad we didnt.check in took almost an hour, which at 3 am we really didnt appreciate and at the desk they were handing out rolls, but by the time we got there they'd run out, which we were ok with, but there was children behind us that had to go without also! When we were finally given our keys, we had to walk through the resort, which lifted our spirits as it was very pleasant looking, found our room, and we were so impressed, huge beds, big room, nice, clean wet room, and two air conditioning units, which were fab, when most days it was 35degrees or more.one air conditioning unit started leaking halfway through the holiday, which I reported to maintenance, but was never fixed, as told it would be, but one was still very sufficient! This I believe is the first year this resort has been available to brits and if it has any hope of keeping us returning, there needs to be a drastic overhaul in the kitchens, im no fussy eater but the buffet breakfast lunch and dinner was dire, grisly meat, hair in the chips and under cooked chicken on kebab night, in the day lunch from a poolside shack was edible, but not even average..the staff work tirelessly, and are always smiley, talkative, especially,gokhan,ali and semih..theres always pool activities, but if thats not your thing there is a quiet pool.there isn't much to do outside the resort which was what we wanted, but the town is a short taxi ride away, and a lot of restaurant offer free return taxi if your eat or drink with them, which we often did, in particular murphys bar..the day boat trip offered by the tour operator is a must, very relaxed, some amazing views and crystal clear blue sea in which your can jump from the boat!! Overall we had a great time, just such a shame the food was horrific.
