Holiday Village Turkey

Looking for a much needed week away following a couple of cancelled holidays, we played holiday roullette due to the ever changing isolation rules and booked the Holiday Village Turkey last minute. Travelled with Tui; masks to be worn in the airport and on the plane; the plane was full. You are allowed to remove your mask for eating and drinking; we simply looked around and removed our masks for as short as time as possible when our surrounding passengers had put their masks back on, carry a pack of anti bac wipes or small sanitiser to use prior to eating. Arrived just after midnight, I am not sure if there was any resturant facilities open at this time; we pre planned and took pot noodles (mine was gluten free) with us and had them in the room together with a cuppa as we unpacked. We were allowed to take our own suitcases with us but got a bit lost finding to room in the dark; soon got orientated in the daylight and didnt have any further problems. The room was very clean and it was cleaned daily. The shower is over the jacuzzi bath so if you have mobility problems and cannot step into the bath then you may need to enquire to the varying facilities within hotel. Hand soap and shower/hair gel available. Kettle, fridge and hair dryer in the room. there was a small packet of masks and a container if hand gel in the room; masks are availble in the dining room if you forget them. I had took some spare hangers with me which were needed. Masks to be worn in the main building and resturant (unless exempt) and hand sanatiser to be used. The routine in the resturarant is; you collect your cultlery from the counter; and then find a table; in the centre of each table is a container of sanitiser. Drinks, cereals, toast and all other items are served from counters. You take off your mask while you are at the sat at the table and put it back on to get up to get more food or to leave the resturant. There are allergy signs displayed at the serving counters. social distancing followed by most people in the resturant and the at the bars. We booked all 3, al la cartes as its nice to be served; they were all good; you book these using the screen in reception and have to choose your meals as you book them. Having a wheat intolerance I visited the customer relations and was given a card which I was able to show in the resturant if needed and a note was put on the bookings for the al la cartes which worked well. All resturant and bar staff are wearing masks and are working exceptionally hard to keep queues down. The pool areas are nice and clean. Sunbeds around the main pool get full there are lovely little relax pools which are quiter with sunbeds to be found. The ampitheatre has some good entertainment; the Mongolian Circus was brilliant. I would have liked a bar closer to the ampitheatre. Drinks are served around the pool in paper cups; paper straws used; not ideal however better than using plastics. Bottles of water availble from the bars. I would definately recommend the hotel and felt safe that they were taking good measures to keep you safe from Covid; the rest of the work is down to the individual; wear your masks; clean your hands; sociallly distance and enjoy your holiday. The shops are worth a visit and there is the bowling alley and an array of other amusements with pool tables which are payable.

Spent 2 weeks here beginning of September. Really enjoyed it. Suites are comfy and spacious with plenty of hangers (always a bonus) and storage. I liked the fact that both rooms had independent aircon. The food was good, especially the deserts. Usually in all inclusive they look good but tend to be tasteless, not here though, they are delicious 😋 And the waitress I tried to stick with was Canan, she is friendly, welcoming and very good at her job. She defiantly made our evening dining better. Most of the staff are helpful. Pools were clean and warm. The whole place is super clean and shiny. All in all hv is well worth a visit.
