St Nicholas Park Hotel

Enjoyable stay and the room was very clean and spacious, but the entertainment got a bit stale on the 2nd week. Food was excellent with a good choice every day. We did actually stay in 2016 and not 2017 as we could go back any further.

Very good hotel, with wonderful staff. fair way to the beach but all OK. Sister hotel; Sahra Su was wonderful, not far away and here the staff were excellent especially Can Akcin, front of house manager, could not do enough for us.

This was our first time in Oludeniz, Turkey. Upon our arrival at St Nicholas Park Hotel we were kindly and enthusiastically greeted by the receptionist who was very helpful and informative about the hotel, showing us where our room was and also where restaurants were, even though it was 1am. I was very impressed with our room. We went as a family of four, myself husband and two children, aged 17 and 15. The room was divided into two with the our bed separate from the kids room. It was airy and bright. We were issued with a key card which also controlled the lights, ie. if you left the room and the lights were on then these would be switched off automatically. The restaurants were large and vast. This is an all inclusive hotel and the food was exceptional along with local traditional cuisine and English cuisine. There were always hot meals for breakfast, lunch, snacks and dinner time. Also throughout the day there was an open bar serving hot and cold drinks as well as alcoholic drinks. All staff were really friendly and eager to help although the language barrier was strained but with hand signals and gestures we both got there in the end. The hotel has four pools, all having sun loungers. The children’s pool has a slide and there is also a baby/toddler pool. There was also plenty of shady places besides the pool. Although we went at the back end of October and the water in the pools was very cold. I never got in but the kids did and seemed to enjoy it. There was entertainment every night. The hotel has a games room where you can play pool or ping pong. The hotel also has its own transport to take to you to their private beach in Oludeniz. We weren’t a family who spent time on the beach but did go once but never stopped long. The hotel does say it has WIFI but only in selected areas of the hotel and was never constant which never really bothered me or the kids. The hotel also has an onsite shop which does sell quite alot of things that you wojld need for a holiday. We went on a couple of trips while we stopped here and we booked them from our rep who was at the hotel everyday at 12 except Thursday. Although it was nearing the end of their season the weather was really warm in the low 20s. A 10 minute walk led you to the local shops which have all your trinkets and souveniers along with clothing, shoes and jewllery shops. There were plenty of restaurants, bars to go to all very reasonably priced. We only went out for a meal once and that was exceptional and too large a meal for any of us to finish off. Places to visit - Oludeniz itself is a 10 min drive away. We found it easy catching the local bus which went past every 5 mins and only cost 50 each. This is a lovely little bay to visit although the beach is pebbly. Both kids wanted to do paragliding which we booked with ReAction. They picked them up from our hotel and we met them back down in Oludeniz. The kids also purchased all footage that was taken, ie pictures and video, for £25. We also visited Pamukelle. This was the highlight of our holiday. It did take us 3 hours to get there we did stop for our breakfast which was included in the price along with dinner too. The place is out of this world and the pools were warm. We also went for a swim in Cleopatras Pool which was stunning and warm but did have fallen collums which you had to be careful of. We also went for a short tour around the ruins and the ampitheatre. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable about the whole area of Pamukelle and about the ruins. Excavation was still ongoing and there was a museum with original excavated pieces. A fun filled We also went to Fetihye which was a lovely fishing town where we saw turtles in the bay as we were walking along the bay side. It was amazing. All in all it was a really enjoyable holiday and would certainly recommend this hotel as it is family orientented.
