Brilliant holiday
Enlarge letters A A Downsize letters A AAbsolutely brilliant holiday one of our best ever. Lovely well appointed hotel, friendly and helpful staff. We had to change rooms when we arrived as we needed a king sized bed and sofa bed (which is a two seater sofa really not a bed) instead of a twin and sofa. They were fine about this - okay we forfeited a decent view but the sleeping arrangements were more important to us.
The food was excellent - smoked salmon, beef stroganoff, king prawns, fresh bream, smoked chicken, squid, some odd soups mind but that to me is what foreign food should be all about trying different things; if you want chips and ketchup best go to Spain.
Pools were great and never wanted for a sunbed even when we were late the staff would get us some. None of this 7am dawn towel bombing raids lark. Slippy around the pools though. Saw a number of people badly injured, could do with some sort of non slip surface down before the hotel get sued.
Great all inclusive package, none of this stingy two drinks or midnight close. U. a star barman - making non alcoholic cocktails for the kids. As soon as my glass was placed down empty I was offered a refill hic! Didn't bother with a la carte restaurants - why bother when main restaurant is so good?
Read the hotel guide so understood what was and was not covered by the all inc package, it's not rocket science really it isn't.
Had a wonderful holiday and met some lovely people there too. Shame about some of the rude non British guests. Can't queue to save their lives and am afraid to say I lost my rag with them a couple of times. Over indulged and over fed kids were the worse, doesn't bode well for the future.
Room cleaned daily as long as you remember to press the green 'clean my room' switch by bedside.
Never had a language problem with any of the staff, guess if their English is not so great you could always try talking to them in Turkish?
Mega bargain holiday to via Thomas Cook, half the price of same holiday with First Choice.
Entertainment far better than usual with professional artists coming in rather than in house team, my 3 year old daughter Zoë and wife loved it.
