Holiday Village Turkey

Visited the holiday village in early July 2018 for a week with my partner, mum & Auntie. We had the best time ever. The food is gorgeous and I’m a fussy eater myself and never struggled to find something I liked. The restaurants on site are also amazing. No ridiculous queues for getting drinks and no limits for 2 drinks per person. Room was very spacious and immaculate. You need to book a spa treatment! We got the Turkish bath and I simply couldn’t recommend it enough to people!! There’s so much to do here, you could never be bored. Pools are lovely and warm. Entertainment was brilliant especially the adults entertainment over the bridge by pool. Little shops and stalls just make the whole experience better. It’s about £3 in a taxi to the village which was a lovely little stroll out for s few hours. Booked an excursion I think with Basket Travel? The first shop in the village for a day boat trip with lunch and it was absolutely beautiful, definitely recommend. This hotel is suited for everybody in my eyes, couples, families, friends etc. Had an amazing time and we have booked to come back in July 2019!! Can’t wait to return.

I stayed at the holiday village in the second week of October with my wife and young son and can say we thoroughly enjoyed our vacation. I can't fault it for anything, at least not enough to knock off a star from the 5 rating I've given it :-); very clean hotel, excellent choice of food and attentive staff. I was glad that breakfast can go on until 10:30am so even if you're up late you won't miss out. Lunch is also provided over a generous 3 hour period and the same goes for dinner. Then there's afternoon pancakes if you've still not had your fill. There's also free ice-cream on offer though if you fancy something other than vanilla, chocolate and strawberry you can buy cones for 2 euros. I had a turkish bath which was money well spent and my wife had a facial and a foot massage which she really enjoyed. The prices for the sauna place are a bit steep but you can haggle with the prices so you shouldn't be paying the list price. We took the excursion to Marmaris for a day which was awesome for £15 a head - no charge for wee kids - and you get to visit a place where they make Turkish Delight, a bit on the expensive side but definitely beats the standard stuff you can buy all over the place. There are shops in the hotel but they are very expensive for things like sweets. Pack of Haribo £1.50 compared to £1 in the UK! which you can buy from the nearby village of Sarigerme for a fraction of that price. Still, you can barter as I did with Baris(h) and Abdul Beki who run the toy shop beneath the hotel foyer. Minor thing is that the wi-fi reception wasn't that great in the rooms and I've read some complaints about the quality of alcoholic drinks but since we don't drink it most certainly was not an issue for us!

Lovely place, people and staff are amazing, friendly and can’t do enough for you, pools 1st class, all in all can’t really complain about the place, only down points was how hot at night inside the hotel was, air con in restaurant was great and in rooms good, but the rest of the hotel, you just sweat, the food was good, but typical of of all inclusive, good standard but repetitive, did miss my English brekkie, the local town of Sarigerme was great, shops very cheap, they do English breakfast with bacon, nom nom.... very cheap, I would stay away from the local market if you don’t like to be hassled, very in your face, the shops are better and as cheap, English money is better, we took Lira, and found everything is priced in GBP, in the town there are cash points and a taxi return is £4 and one cash point give £, all in all one of the best holidays I’ve been on with the family.
