I am not fussy and always make my good time myself, this is a completely honest opinion ....I visited this hotel in August 2011. It was a last minute deal and the price suited me and my fiance. First of all we travelled wth a small company called "Travelmate", when we arrived at the airport all the travellers were guided towards a thomsons coach/bus - we saw our rep (who could not talk english which turned out not really to be a problem). We were directed to small minibus, we were the only ones on it and it was air conditioned so we thought brilliant! Well what an experience it was! What a crazy driver, we travelled for an hour and a half in the country side of turkey and what looked like quite a deprived area. The roads were narrow and bendy and on the side of cliffs with no barriers! The mad driving and the constant smoking of the driver (who we could not communicate at all with as he did not speak english) was crazy! Neither I or my fiance get travel sickness but we did this night and were scared for our lives! In any event over an 1 1/2 later we got there safely at 4am! When we got to the hotel we had to pay £30 for our safety deposit box for the room which is quite standard in most hotels these days and then shown to our room. It was pitch black there and the hall ways had no lights, the room smelt and it was a rediculous temperature, but we did book turkey in august so that was to be expected! We turned the air conditioning on which made a noise, but it cooled the room down considerably so it was fine.

Food & Drinks
it was all inclusive and it was buffet style. There was always plenty for breakfast lunch and dinner and there were snack bars at the pool and on the beach. The food was always fresh and plentyfull however it was prettey much the same every day. I enjoyed it though! The drinks were very good, beer and wine on tap! I like my wine and was very suprised at the good quality of the wine on tap! Spirits were good also and they even had real coca cola on draft which I was not expecting as it said "local drinks". The vodka and kiwi juice is a must! Just be careful at the measures of spirits as they it is prettey much half and half!

Pools
There were two pools, one main pool with bar and entertainment team, we didnt really visit this part as we were looking for a quiet couple type relaxing holiday, however , there was plenty going on if you like that kind of thing! The music was very loud and surrounded by loud noisy people too! The entertainment team which consisted of three turkish men and a couple of girls who walked around the pool all day as if they were royality. They also ate with the guests which for a hotel which is described as 4-5* I didnt think was appropriate. The other pool was a small adult pool (this was not the case at all). It was a nice pool area, but crammed with people every day, you had to get up at least 630-700am to get a bed! And most of the area would not get the sun on it until midday! There were a lot of polish people (which is not a problem!) however, many were rude and were placing towels on the bed the night before, one even had a go at my fiance as if he were trying to start a fight for no reason at all, he couldnt have possibly avoided it. No matter how early I got up I could not get a bed that I wanted.

Beach
a beach? Far from it, it was a rocky area, which had local sewerage running to it, with no sand! There was a jetty, however, it was broken and the wood was rotten, I was too scared to go on it. There was a bar at the beach which was included in the all inclusive aspect of the hotel so that was good. It took 15 minutes to walk or you could get a "train" (which in fact was a tractor type thing with a trailer of people on the back) The "train" struggled to get back up the steep hill with the amount of people it had crammed on it, and at certain points it almsot started rolling backwards. Overall the beach was terrible, it was dirty and a very bad location.

Room
The room was very basic, beds were changed daily, but the bathroom was dirty. With regards to the shower you had to turn it off every minute or so as the drains were blocked at the basin would overflow. The balcony was not safe and wobbled. I am not usualy scared of heights but I was when I was on this balcony.

The luxurious pillows that they show around the pool were dirty and often wet!

Medical
I saw a couple of people ill at the hotel, luckily this did not happen to me. However it was norm for the "hotel doctor" (he was in fact an employee at the hotel) to who was doing a course in medicine to take the sick person away by himself (even children) to the local villlage in his car and put them on a drip! costing about £70! I saw him take a pregnant lady who had a blister on her lip from the heat and put her on a drip! She was there all day until late at night! and nobody heard from her or had a way of communicatig with her, not even the hotel staff! He would also inform the travel company/airline that you were unfit to fly home! So dont go to this doctor if you dont want to go on the drip or if you want to go home!

Zoo
OMG! Please dont go to the "zoo" if you are upset by cruelty to animals. When I first approached the zoo, I could smell "death" and filth, it consisted of some what I think were turkeys and other birds who had taken all of their feathers out, which had sores and dirt all over them, they had no clean water or food. There was also a ram in the corner which never moved appart from rocking back and fore in one place. It was absolutely terrible.

Rep
We had no information regarding our rep and transfers back to the airport. This was concerning to us due to the trip we had out, so we wanted to know how we were getting back, we tried phoning somebody but got no luck and the hotel charged us £30 for the cal! We then had to use our mobile which cost us another £10!

Location
Abolutely terrible location. Quite a deprived area with absolutely nothing touristy to do for about an hours drive.

Staff
Staff especially the men were staring and chatting up very young teenagers like 13-15 years range! So parents be aware! Also I think many of the staff live on site, and therefore use the pools and eat the same buffet and basically using all of the facililities! Which I do not think is right. Reception were not helpful and hardly spoke English

Weather
Was very hot, approaching the 40c on some days , but I love hot weather so didnt mind.

This opinion is completely honest and I am in no way being picky as I am not that kind of person, to be honest, I enjoyed the holiday as all I did was drink the nice booze and lay by the pool and read a book by day and made some fantastic friends which completed the holiday for me. I shall not be going to this hotel again. And it is in no way a 4* I would say 1-2* at the most. I hope this helps.
