When we 1st arrived at checkin, Reception advised us we are upgrading you to a 2 bed apartment. I stated we only booked 1 bed apartment through Easyjet Holidays, but he ignored that & gave us the 2 bed. He said that will be £75 please!? I asked what was that for, he stated AIR CON & WIFI. We paid for a self catering Holiday around £900 for both of us, so wasn't exactly cheap, cheap!! Since we went to Portugal in October 2 weeks after for £500 at a 3 star Hotel much better self catering with Easyjet. I have never ever had to pay for AIR CON, on any of our Holidays abroad. maybe it's a thing in Turkey. I complained to Easyjet upon our return, but got a standard reply. Stating it does state there might be extra charges! Which I did know about, but not AIR CON, Therefore had to pay for air con £45, and didn't take up the WIFI offer for another £30. The apartment was ok. I would rate it about a 2 star but clean! We had a small balcony looking over the pool. Big enough for 2 people. It had a reasonable sized bedroom, a big lounge, and a separate kitchen. Bathroom was still the design from the 80's. You can't flush toilet tissue down the toilet by the way. Presume their sewage pipes are still small! I think this Hotel more suited for families, since they did a lot of evening shows by the pool side. Which we did enjoy watching from our balcony. Also a lot of pool activities for the kids. Food wise I don't know, since we never used their facilities so can't comment. The beach is a 15 minute walk away (About a mile), which we didn't mind since we enjoy walking a lot. Beaches are nice, with a lot of Restaurants & sunbathing spots along the shore. The marina is to the left, which takes you to all the Yachts & 15th Century Castle. We took a boat trip to Cleopatra Island, that was lovely with all the history. You disembark on the Island, and have about 2 hours to sight see & have a dip in the crystal clear waters. Then on the way back, get to jump off the boat in a few more spots. We had lunch included & all drinks except Alcoholic ones. All round a good trip to do. There are lots of other trips available. One day we took the bus to Icmeler down the coast a few miles. You can hope on a mini bus for a round trip for 2 people for about £3. We took another bus trip to Turunc slightly dearer since it's past Icmeler round the coast about £7 return trip for 2 people. The bus climbs up to a about a thousand feet capturing some lovely views below & out at sea. Eating- Breakfast only eat at Speedy's Restaurant round the corner from the Hotel. All home made & fresh lovely. We tried 1 or 2 other places for the same price, but they were horrible so don't bother. The Breakfast most places works out at around £10 per person a bit dear inc a hot drink. Evening Meal- We went to 'Taj Mahal' on the main front near the beach a bit pricey, but well worth it. A set menu per person around £25 which isn't bad. The food was spot on, and Balcony view looking down into the streets bel
