An ideal location if you need to practice your German, Dutch or Russian language skills. Definately not a hotel for meeting fellow Brits.
The buffet meals always had a hot option and read Beef whenever they claim Veal, otherwise acceptable with loads of cold options.
Hotel is ok, but getting a little tired, decor etc is weary and basic, with one wardrobe and two bedside tables along with the beds being it.
A sea view dictates if you will benefit from the full effects of the two disco's (One from neighbouring Hotel) which will provide a background beat till 2 am, the air conditioning struggled to drown out the noise. And the poolside entertainment (background music) was hard core rap which would have been censored from the BBC.
Although there are a large number of waiters in attendance, thay are there to clean and will remove plates etc as soon as it 'looks' like you've finished. Which suprised us as the bars continually ran out of cups and glasses and most drinks were served in solid plastic anyway.
The sun shone and for a slob out do nothing holiday it was ok, cos if you want to do something it is miles from anywhere and most of the younger element (I'm 49) they had to catch a Dolmus into the nearest town for any nightlife.
Prices on site for cigarettes etc are x2 the shop down the road and there appears to be a culture of charging captive audiences anything they like.
Alied with the non existant travel company (Gold Trail) I will probably never darken Turkey's door again, especailly the Bodrum peninnsula
On the bright side the room maid was very good and was the only member of staff worth a tip
In conclusion
never again !!!!
