From 19.08 to 24.08.2011 have spent five days holiday in your hotel.
We had a great time.
Our baby was very pleased, especially as on 08.23.2011 has celebrated a birthday and the hotel gave him a cake. It felt very special.

Very nice hotel, I stayed here with my boyfriend in June and we had a really amazing 2 weeks. We really enjoyed the entertainment available to us and took part in this a lot, the shows, pools games etc. It is silly stuff but is good fun if you get involved. There was also lots of quiet spots you could go to though if you wanted to be by yourself and not get hassled. Our room was a little walk up quite a few stairs but this did not really bother us at all. The food was good and there was a great variety every night. There were rumours about food poisoning going around the hotel but we were both fine and did not have any bad side effects. The staff on the entertainment team were great and made our holiday. The only downside of this hotel would be the actual reception staff who were not helpful at all during our stay whenever we asked them anything. Overall though it is a great place for families and couples to stay and we had a great time.

Very nice hotel, lovely food (especially turkish night), lots a quiet little spots where you can escape. I would definately go back, although not in October which turned out to be storm season (!!).

The only real disappointment came after dinner, where there seemed to be absolutely nothing to do! There is a really cool underground club which we had to discover ourselves on day 4 of our 7 day visit, as nobody had told us about it, however for adults it only opens at 11pm. We attempted to go there one night but we were the only ones in there, so we did an about-turn. I can imagine this would be really fun in the summer though when its busier.

The actual site of this resort is massive, and once upon a time I think would have deserved 5*, but with basketball courts, tennis courts, mini golf, a mini zoo etc ALL out of use, with broken fences and leaves and mush all over them it really only deserves 3 stars. The animation team have an office seemingly full of games that you can borrow, but on further inspection most of these are just empty cardboard boxes which used to contain games. Also, upstairs from the reception area is a room for the older ladies to congregate for bridge and another room with a pool table (which is locked and was apparently out of order) and another room with a table tennis table. To play table tennis you have to get a bats a ball from the animation team, however it took us until the final night to do this as the animation team office is only open til about 5 and you cant access anything after this time, so by the time we though we might like a game it was always too late.

If we return we will arm ourselves with evening entertainment such as cards, board games and films.

Moving on...

We had two really good days of exploring on the dolmus, and would definately recommend this. You have to walk to the entrance of the resort and just wait for a minibus to go by with the name of the town your aiming for. Its 3 lira each (£1) and you pay when you get off at your destination, comes every half hour. very easy to use and very friendly people. We went to turgetreis one day (15 minutes on the bus, has a marina and restaurants, shops and a market) and to Gumusluk the next day. Gumusluk was lovely, a small fishing village wiht a market and loads of fish restaurants. We went in search of the underwater city by walking to the right up the beach and up the end hill although didnt see it as it had rained and the sea level was too high. However it was a lovely walk. On our way back we went into a lovely little restaurant on a white decking with white floral cushions and tree's in the water with decorations, it was extremely quaint and an idylllic spot, and the food was amazing. i recommend the fish casserole. a-mazing.

On our final day we went on jeep safari (thomson trip) and this was definitely our best day!! you get picked up by an open top jeep at the hotel and taken off road through the mountains of budrum, stopping off at some interesting spots including a real working farm and a traditional village. We came back covered in mud from our driver speeding through puddles on the journey, I haven't laughed so much in ages. Definatley recommend!

In summary, like all holiday you have to make the most of opportunites availabel to you, if you stayed in the resort you woiuld get bored very quickly. We had a brilliant time and probably would return.

My girlfriend and I stayed here for one week 7-13th October the hotel is lovely but a bit dated food was great especially the Turkish breakfast kebabs and Turkish night and the waiters were nice the views are amazing our room was lovely although due to the constant rain in the evening our room flooded.
the area this hotel lets its customers down on is at night no entertainment badly kept pool ,snooker room (closed for whole holiday) and table tennis rooms (bats only available in day time!) a cinema area that was never on there is nothing here to do at night for children most families had to just sit in the main foyer all night playing board games I mentioned the lack of entertainment to the reception and the animation team and just got a rude response Hotel advertises having tennis, basketball, mini zoo mini golf for children all these facilities are in a bad state of repair or none existent the gym was good but again not open at night! This is a good hotel if all you want to do is drink and sunbath and admire the view. we went out on the dolmous to gumeslut and turguietries only 3tl each way we also went on the jeep safari organised by Thomson (highly recommended) all in all was a good holiday as long as the weather is nice as when it is raining facilities are none existent I would go again but I’ll bring things to do in the evening next time.
