“Good job we met some nice people the hotel was awful”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 26 July 2011

people found this review helpful

Looking at the latest review on Club Aqua I can see nothing has improved since last year. We went expecting a small and unique hotel in a small lively village setting. It was unique in that I have never stayed in such a run down and dirty establishment in my life. When we arrived we were given a small shabby room on the ground floor with no working air conditioning. After complaining to the reception we were moved the next day but only slightly better, working air con. Bedding and towels were ready for the bin, cleaning non existent, the 2 cleaners walked around all day carrying the same dirty mop used for every room/toilet etc. The pool although looked clean if you lifted the grills at the side you could see it was far from free of algae. Apart from 2 other English couples the hotel was mainly eastern european. By the 3rd day we noticed that the drinks were quickly disappearing and the food was running out before the end of service. Little did we know that the hotel was closing the following week and they literaly were running out of everything so if you dare to venture to this hotel dont go in September. The village is literally non existent, a few hotels along the beach. The vibrant up and coming resort is some 3 or 4 miles away not easily accesible in the evening, taxis very expensive and the buses are mainly to bodrum in the evening. All in all a place to avoid, this was my 3rd visit to Turkey but this hotel and resort I will not be going again.

“Make sure you have a sense of humour”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 July 2011

If you are expecting what you saw on the web page, you'll be seriously disappointed. It hasn't been noticeably upgraded since it was the Alabanda, and some rooms don't seem to have been cleaned since then either. The concept of replacing soiled towels with clean ones is something the management are still coming to terms with! If you have a sense of humour, if you go simply expecting a cheap, sunshine holiday, if you aren't a fussy eater and you love loud "hip hop" music all day, then you'll be fine. If you're hoping for that little boutique hotel and a lovely "couples" holiday...good luck! We made the best of it, thanks to two other couples in the "enclave" at the sunny side of the pool, we had a laugh and enjoyed most of it. The others who were staying were mainly Russian, Ukrainian or Turkish and were all practising for the Olympic version of "glowering" or staring at everyone else, but we worked on the basis that if they stared at us then we must have been interesting! We certainly decided that there was a distinct lack of smiling on the other side of the pool! Our holiday wasn't spoiled as we had expected most of this. Thanks to those of you who were there at the same time for making it a laugh and to the young Polish couple, "cheers!". Tolga, if you're reading this, and you should be, 65%. But you could be so much more, it's a shame it isn't the bijoux hotel it could be.

Room Tip: Ask for upstairs. No spa.
