When I booked this holiday, I had doubts with reading the reviews but many sound like they just wanted even more, even though I don't understand what else the hotel could offer. The hotel was a great place for families, positives include: Numerous pools, always immaculate and fantastic slides. A couple of bars and and food places. Good spa, with free access to sauna, steam room and little gym. A couple of minutes walk to the beach, with a lovely beach bar and food. The beach has some shingles, but still perfectly enjoyable. On the beach there is water sports, but found these much more expensive than in the nearest towns. The food, everything may not be to everyone's taste, but oh my..... So much choice, there will always be something to find. The salad bars were lovely and ice creams available for most of the day too. Rooms were immaculate and perfect size. This leads to my one and ONLY critique of the whole holiday was the mattress, so hard and I have problems with my joints so was in a lot of discomfort, but again this was my preference and nothing against the hotel. The entertainment was quite loud, but when in room you cannot hear it. We were on level 4 and great views. The hotel is just off the main road, but you cannot hear it at all! My recommendations - Booked a trip with on site rep of pirate boat, see waterfall and trip to market, tried to charge £45 each, but we paid £30 adult and £15 children- this was well worth it, all inclusive even on the boat and was fed. The markets you need to haggle hard. A ten minute walk right to the top of the road, next to the grey hotel is 3 good shops which were very cheap and pharmacy up there also. Do not hire the 3 wheeled scooter things incredibly dangerous and we witnessed an accident on them when we were also out, we returned ours immediately. The onsite photographer, meet him on the beach at sunset (we met at 5.30), he's super speedy and only charged 7 euros a picture and will do a deal of purchasing a few of them. These are amazing quality and he's a very talented photographer. Everyone will only want Euros, so up to you, but felt our Turkish Lira wasn't as good currency. Despite being informed there are no buses there is, bus stop right across the road.
