Just returned from a 10 night stay here and we loved it! Room - we were in room 3216 in the adult only block. Nice pool and sea view. Really modern, stylish and clean room, recently refurbished. The whole hotel had a refurbishment over the winter apparently. Loads of storage for clothes and suitcases. Massive bed and really comfortable. There’s a pillow menu so you can choose from 4 different pillows. Shower great and always warm. Nice little balcony with a small table and a couple of chairs. Mini bar with water, soft drinks and beer which is restocked daily Staff - the staff really are great throughout the hotel. The guys at the piano bar deserve a special mention - Okan, Ilgin and ‘Chavo’, so friendly and make the place really fun with their antics and attempts at flairing whilst making cocktails! Our waitress Durgul at breakfast and lunch in the adult section of the buffet restaurant very friendly and cheerful. Also our waiter Atilla in the evenings in the buffet restaurant very welcoming and professional. Have to mention Cebrail at the adults only pool, who walks around all day taking drinks orders (must be exhausting in the heat!), always friendly and with a smile on his face. Also Ismail behind the adults pool bar. Maids do a great job, room spotless every day. Honestly can’t say anything bad about any of the staff, they all seem happy to work there. Also the TUI girls running archery and other sporting events were friendly and fun Food - we found the buffet great, lovely omelette’s at breakfast, loads of fresh fruit. At lunch and dinner the the salads were great, all the food was fresh and loads of choice. We found plenty of variety over the 10 days. We also had a couple of lunches at Ocean near the beach and Olive near the kids pool, both were great. The Gozleme hut is great - chocolate and banana gozleme was devine! A la carte restaurants - went to the BBQ twice, was pretty good, in a lovely setting near the beach. This is on twice a week - Tuesday and Saturday. Italian (Olive) was the best one, great food and a nice terrace. Turkish quite average. We didn’t try the seafood one (Ocean) for dinner, but heard a few people say it was very good Drinks - great selection of drinks and cocktails. Beer is Efes which is draught or in bottles. Also included in All Inclusive are bottles of Becks, Carlsberg and Miller. Even cans of Guinness! Cocktails were great, branded spirits also included. You can get bottles of water throughout the hotel, and the guys come around the pool regularly giving out water and taking drinks orders. Also get 2 big bottles left in your minibar every day Activities - we did archery 3 times - highly recommend this. All the singers good as well, but we loved seeing Victor and the energy he brought! Saw a few bits of the evening shows which looked good. Also played crazy golf a few times Location - not much close to hotel. Side town a short bus/taxi journey away as well as Manavgat for the twice-weekly market. Quite
