This is by far the WORST holiday i have had and was my second time in Turkey otherwise i may have been put off for good, this is a lengthy review so i have broken it down into parts which will hopefully allow the reader to jump straight to it if they don't want to read it all. I booked with Love Holiday so this is also a review of them too in a way. I've tried to be objective where I can be. I've just got back from 6 nights with my 19 year old son who by anyone standards is a picky eater!. 1) Initial reception & transfers Our flight was delayed and I'd read that a flight delay may mean that as the transfers are scheduled I may have to arrange my own transport as the shuttle may have left, the company used for transfer is called Meeting Point!. On arrival the transfer was actually quite smooth we were one of 2 families so we were taken in a full leather and clean Mercedes Vito which was impressive, the journey was supposed to take around 35 mins but took around 25 as the driver made use of the quiet roads!! This also included a stop for the other family to get some milk for their child which was a nice touch i thought, the family were from France but the female was of Turkish origin which I think helped. We arrived at the hotel late around 2330 we were taken to the room after around 15 mins check in by a bellboy , well he was around mid to late 30's he insistently took my case and took us up to the room, (3rd floor main building) he went on to explain how the lights and a/c worked although after a few goes at the light switch for the main area near the walkway it was clear it didn't work, he also pointed out the mini bar in the fridge and contents were free, the fridge also was not working and contained 4 or 5 small bottles of warm soft drinks. He then stood there with his hands crossed but facing me, realising he wanted a tip i fumbled for some change as id not taken any foreign currency as last time some places preferred either Dollar or Euro to the Turkish Lira so I thought id just use my cash card , plus hadn't planned on leaving the complex much and just wanted to chill out. I went to hand him some lira I had left over from my last holiday he looked and asked if I had some paper money for him!! I asked him to leave the room at this point. We then went back down to try to get something to eat and drink, we were told food & drink service had closed even though it was before midnight we were told there was some soup and bread, I had some but it wasn't very appealing. We managed to get some bottled water from the fridge in the pool area as the ones in our room were not chilled and it was still 30+ degrees at midnight. 2) Location The location is quite remote and is too far to walk to any local amenities, there are a few things close by most notably the land of legends theme park which is around 4km away and it also has a lot of restaurants and shops which you don't have to pay the theme park fees to access etc. Aside from that there are m
