Ill start with a positive but thats where it ends. The room was adequate and spacious , the food was safe if not predictable. The hotel its self is not in my opinion as described 5 star, nor is the all inclusive plus all inclusive. We have stayed in other 5 star hotels in turkey so can compare. The alcoholic drinks tasted watered down compared to the ones in the local bars. The wine whilst drinkable was unpalatable and to get anything nice was an extra £25 per bottle. What i would consider to be pretty box standard cocktails like expresso martini were also charged extra so expect a bar bill at the end of the week if you have discerning tastes. If you have diebetes forget it you are limited to watery diet coke or water. I had to go out and buy a bottle of slimline tonic just so i could have a g and t also everything is served in paper cups which i kind of understand by the pool, but not in the rooms or bars. Whilst most of the staff were very good we came across a few that were rude. Be prepared for sun-bed wars there were towels out at 5 am with no one occupying them for hours . the main pools are loud and full of kids which is fine if you dont mind that, but unless your up with the sparrows you wont get in the quiet pool area. The hotel could manage this better by monitoring beds and removing items from beds that are not occupied as they have done in other hotels we have stayed in. Also there is no waiter service at the pool which i would expect in a 5 star hotel The location is on a hilly road so if you have mobility issues its perhaps not for you. The beach is a 15 min bus ride in the shuttle bus, but we didn't find it very nice. The city is about the same distance in the other direction but you will need to catch a local bus or taxi. There is a local restaurant promoted in the hotel. Planet yuca we went and whilst the food was ok it certainly wasn't anything to write home about .the entertainment was good though. they wouldn't let us pay in lira on the card only eu GBP or dollar, so the price of the meal was £25 more than it should have been with the conversion rate so just be aware as the meal was expensive to start with, and cocktails were circa £12. We had a far better meal at the sherwood in ladies beach at half the price.
