“Don't read the negative comments..”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 25 January 2012

Upon reading the reviews on here about the Yel Holiday Resort last year, me and my partner were very suprised when we arrived at the Yel. We didn't quite know what to expect for our holiday because the amount of mixed reviews that were on TripAdvisor. We arrived at Yel late Sunday night and we were very warmly welcomed by the staff on reception and given our All Inclusive wristbands whilst waiting for another member of staff to show us to our rooms. The member of staff even carried our bags, to show a first good impression, they were very good.

Our room was on a bottom floor. We didn't have a pool view or anything, just a view of the other hotel rooms - which was really nice because of the purple flowers and the landscaping of the grounds is just pure beautiful.

The room itself was pretty basic and could do with some updating - but I did read that it was being modernised in 2012 - so I'm sure anyone who visits after this review then the rooms should be lovely! The shower was very light and didn't feel very clean when stepping out of it and the beds were really hard. The maids did a good job of keeping it clean though and often left figures of origami with the towels on the bed. The TV only had a few channels and I think about 2 channels which had english subtitles - one of the channels being a good film channel :)

The food was fantastic! You will never go hunry here. Everyday there was something different for dinner, and it was really nice aswell. Always welcomed in the restuarant and friendly staff waiting the tables. The breakfast was abit bland though as it seemed to be pancakes every morning.

The pool area was great, sunloungers were not always available as people must of got up at ridiculous o'clock to "reserve" them but they cleared throughout the day. The evening entertainment was fantastic - Ali was definately a people person and knew how to get everyone to join in!

The drinks were abit naff, served in tiny little plastic cups and the cocktails wasn't included in the price.

Also, there was a free shuttle bus to a local beach. It took about 15 mins to get there which was fine -- but you have to pay for the sunloungers there. Also, the journey back to the hotel was horrendous because the bus couldn't quite handle the hills and the engine was really humming up a hill doing about 15mph.


Overall, a really good holiday and if the reviews are even better after the refurbishment - I would definately be happy to return.

Me my sisters and my family visited yel July last year, we arrived early in the moring they sorted us out straight away and showed us to our rooms, the rooms were spacious and very clean there was three of us in a room and still lots of space. When we woke up for breakfest we entered the canteen to find a selection of things to eat it was all lovely and stayed that way throughout the holiday especially the bbq night were we had tuna steaks yum! the staff were very friendly and helpful, the entertainment at night was amazing we was never bored once, Ali the entertainment manager was great there was always thing to do in the day my little sister enjoyed that alot. out rooms were cleaned everyday it was perfect the only criticism i would give is that mine and my sisters room were quite far from our parents but this was not a problem overall it was a brilliant holiday i would go back again! YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR!!!

Was reading the reviews for last year and can't believe the moaners. Me and my husband and 2 friends are returning for 3rd year running. All of us are frequent travellers and are used to a range of hotel stars. My last holiday was at a 5* in caribbean and cost a fortune. Yel is a fantastic 3* hotel, and incredibly cheap for an AI. The staff are friendly, there is always food that is edible, local alcohol, t, coffee and soft drinks for 12 hours a day. The rooms are clean and comfortable and the outside areas are beautiful. Entertainment is friendly and fun and no worse than we saw at 5*. Why do people moan, it is a fun, cheap and friendly holiday which I hope 2 continue doing every may with my friends. Moaners stop griping and put your hands in your pockets and spend for the 5* you seem 2 expect!

“Very good value for money. Great staff!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 28 November 2011

We went to Yel early in September while it was still quite hot, with lots of sunshine and blue skies. Although this resort is officially rated 3 star, one of the outstanding things is the enthusiasm and friendliness of the staff. The gardens are excellent (there's a heady smell of perfume from one of the plants in the evening). Food was good in terms of freshness and choice. Always loads of salad. Beware of the cake stand though, as you may need a post holiday diet! The only bad point during the whole week was the loudness of the music poolside in the evening, but reception were happy to move us upon request and we enjoyed peace and quiet for the rest of the week. It's also worth noting that the sunset views from this resort are awesome. We loved Turkey and will definitely go back. Well done Yel!

Room Tip: If you want quiet, ask for a room away from the pool.
