Lovely hotel if a little tired. Food okay something for everyone. Views from our room were sensational in fact best views we have ever had. The staff were always helpful, friendly and full of fun especially Ilyas in the Pizzeria. Had our two beers as soon as we entered which was every lunch time. 30mins walk into Icemeler and 10... More

Stayed here for 1 week on 27th April 2012 and we were overawed by the beauty of the surrounding area on arrival. The staff are very friendly and can't do enough to help. Room was spotless, and the presentation of the food was outstanding. The only thing we missed was an English breakfast!!

The hotel is worn out it really does need modernising. The food is not great, if there is any left after the Russians have loaded there plates up, then left it on the table un eaten. It is very nice down by the pontoon area with a couple of diving platforms but you will need to get there early or... More

However, upon arrival all my worries disapeared, the hotel was really nice (not 5 star but really close to it as you can get) and the rooms were great. We were upgraded straight away to a family room as it was so quite... More

Decided to book this hotel as a package via Thomas Cook as they offered a great package deal and the dolphin park next to the hotel sold it for me. The hotel as most people say isn't a true 5* more a 4 but I have never stayed in turkey before so not sure what other hotels are like to... More

when we first arrived we were received by a very unfriendly member of staff at the reception he didn't even greet us or smile so we were really worried thinking that we had come to a beautiful place with unfriendly people, the porter that took our bags to the rooms was very cheerful and it was a great relief and...
