Stayed here at the end of august 2011 to september - very hot. 40 degrees everyday, almost too hot. pools were great with some okish music on repeat everyday. not many sunbeds available as they were all gone in the morning. always plenty on the beach however the beach is not the nicest which was a disappointment, very coarse sand which hurts your feet!
loads of places to eat and drink and waiters by the pool and beach that take your drinks/food order and you can eat it at your sun lounger which was great. prices were reasonable. drinks expensive as with any hotel but water was always our choice as it was cheapest.
ROOM
we were given a very small room with a horrible view and tiny balcony in early hours which was roasting as the air con had not been on for ages. took a few hours for the room to cool down! sink was hanging off the whole, found an ant under the duvet or should i say towel?!beds were literally on the floor. the tv looked like it was from the 80's it was tiny. also found it annoying that the air con would switch itself off everytime you took the key card out of the socket in the wall when you left the room so everytime we got back it was scoarching. after one nights stay, we complained about the room but the best they could offer was an upgrade of around almost £200 for the 2 weeks stay. after seeing the second room they offered, it was still near enough the same untill the third room it had a pool view and sea view, huge shower, bigger tv, decent bed and 2 air con machines so the room was always kept cool as one never switched off. safe in the room was broken but didnt bother complaining again as the people in reception did not speak very good english. the room was also very loud at night everynight with music from the pool bar near by and the bars outside!
the food was good at nights with plenty of choice and fresh bread. breakfast was good with variety and omettes of your choice prepared outside which was nice. gutted no full cooked english though but that's turkey.
overall good hotel but the rooms are not up to standard. as the hotel is actually 2 hotels combined, the rooms vary. we spoke to a couple and their standard room sounded much better than ours - was also on the quiet side so probably the other hotel. it's luck of the draw as to the hotels as I emailed weeks in advance about the room but had no reply until the second day of our holiday which was too late.
I would not stay here again just because of the quality of the rooms, the staff are all nice and friendly at the hotel, and u do get hassled a lot outside the hotel and sometimes get abuse if you tell them you're not interested in their stuff!
resort is deffo not as cheap as i thought it would be as drinks were still expensive but you can get good deals on burger and chips meals etc. also beware of the taxis as they are a rip off and brake down often!
