fantastic holiay at the club amaris...
bedroom had 2 single beds and a double sofa bed in the living room area. There was plenty of room and everything was very clean. I would recommend this place to anybody. We had a fabulous time here, mainly thanks to the bar staff who were amazing thanks guys!!! The room was cleaned everyday with new towels provided. We ate a few times at the hotel and the food was really good and very reasonable, slightly more expensive by a few lira than at restaurants but that's to be expected. Drinks at the hotel were average price with a bottle of Efes costing 5 lira.
would recomend to any1 and defintley return

Once again myself and friends had a fantastic holiday.
Brilliant staff and service and take no notice of reviews
saying its noisy early hours...... by law the music is turned down
by all apartments and hotels at 11pm. .So apart from some people
still chatting etc, its fairly quiet. But dont forget folks, we are on
Holiday.
Made many friends and will be seeing them in 2012.
Long live the amaris dirty dozen :)
see you all next year.

Just got back from a weeks stay at Club Amaris and wish I was still there!! We went as a group of 4. The bedroom had 2 single beds and a double sofa bed in the living room area. There was plenty of room and everything was very clean.

I would recommend this place to anybody. We had a fabulous time here, mainly thanks to the bar staff who were amazing thanks guys!!! The room was cleaned everyday with new towels provided. We ate a few times at the hotel and the food was really good and very reasonable, slightly more expensive by a few lira than at restaurants but that's to be expected. Drinks at the hotel were average price with a bottle of Efes costing 5 lira. They had happy hour between 7 and half 9 were cocktails were BOGOF. Would recommend a few of these, but not too many as I found out they definitely put LOTS of booze in them!! ;). There were plenty of sun beds although beware the pool is freezing!! We did go out of season though.

The hotel was well situated with a shop close by for basics. It's only about a 10-15 min walk to main shopping street with lots of restaurants on the way. It's slightly further to walk to the marina area about 20-25 mins but the walk along the seafront is very nice. There is a taxi rank right next to the hotel, which is handy. A taxi to old town/marina area should cost about 12 lira although coming back it will cost you 15 lira. Don't try haggling this even though it doesn't make sense as they won't drop the price!! You can get a dolmus (bus) which will cost 2 lira (ish) but we went as a 4 so was about the same price to get a taxi.

There are lots of restaurant along the marina all offering similar deals. Would really recommend a meal at La Vita Bella in the marina area. The food here is absolutely fantastic and the staff are brilliant. We were a bit cold one evening so one of the staff went next door and brought us back blankets!

Would really recommend going to Icmelar at least once. This is the next resort along, a taxi will cost about 25 lira or the dolmus goes here very regularly. It's a much quieter resort but we spend a very nice day here. We got taxi's both ways, had breakfast, sun beds with waiter service, a 3 course meal all for about £26 each!!

In regards to travel money get your money changed in Turkey as the rate is better. We changed a small amount at home to last the first 2 days than changed up our pounds when we got there. There are lots of change offices be careful as some take commission. ROE was 2.82 most days. If you get your money in England you'll get about 2.6. Doesn't sound a lot but its a night out paid for.

Overall this was a brilliant holiday. We paid only £190 each. You always think you get what you pay for but Club Amaris far exceeded my expectations. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS PLACE AND WOULD LOVE TO GO BACK AGAIN!!!

I've just got back from a week's stay at the Club Amaris Apts. The facilities were perfect for what we needed. We stayed on an B&B basis. The food in the resterant was of good quality and very generous portion sizes. The menu choice was brilliant (shame I'm on a diet). I had salads most days and they were tasty.
The apartments were clean and spotless. The were cleaned every day and fresh towels were replaced every day. The only strange thing was that i think you had to pay for your own toilet roll. They didnt seem to replace that daily. Sometimes they did sometimes they didn't. They also did our washing up for us. Each day the clean towels were put on the bed and made into shapes like hearts or swans or fans. A nice touch.
The staff were very friendly. They all smiled and said hello whenever we saw them. The owner was also there quite alot and he was very pleasant too and talked to me. The bar staff were very very funny and full of spirit. The boys at the bar made our holiday. they were really friendly and made us feel really welcome. A big thanks to Apo, Adnan, Memmet, & Kazim.
The swimming pool was very clean. you do need your own beach towel though as they dont provide pool towels. However, we were lucky and we asked if they had spare ones and they found us some. The sun loungers were comfortable.
The rooms themselves were large and comfortable. There were 3 of us (all girls) and ther was plenty room. we had one bedroom sleeping 2 and a double bed in the lounge. There was plenty of space to keep our stuff and plenty of wardrobe space for 3 women!!!
The bar guys gave us plenty of ideas where to go clubbing and eating and reccommended things for us to do.
The Club Amaris is a brilliant place to stay, its close to everything and only a short walk into the main shopping area and marina and old town, If your not keen on walking there is a taxi rank right next to the hotel or you can walk down the end of the road and catch a bus into the main shopping area. its only a couple of lira.
There are two Amaris Apartments so be careful when booking. I don't know what the Amaris Apartments are like but they are owned by the same people. I would want to go back to this one only because it looked better in the brochure and now I know it I'd be happy to stay here again.. So make sure you book the CLUB Amaris apartments.
We had a fab time here and I'd go back tomorrow if I could. Definately going back next year.Loved it. Entertainment wise - there was bingo a few times but nothing else but then we did go out of season and people did go out alot. the music by the pool bar was on all the time, sometimes they cranked it up a bit sometimes it was quiet. it all depends on personal taste but if im by the pool i like to have the music on! I'd say this hotel would suit anyone but not older travellers as they may find it too noisy.
