Spent 10 nights at this hotel and it was very good. The hotel was spotless, the pool was a good size and the pool area was spotless. Some reviews have criticised the food, however we found the food very good, a lot of choice, fantastic salads, tasty meat from the grill, a good mix of Turkish and european cuisine. It is not a la carte dining but a buffet, the food was fresh and topped up regularly. We used two of the speciality a la carte restaurants, the Ottoman and the fish restaurant and both were excellent. I have a food intolerance and labelling was excellent. On arrival the reception also provided a document in Turkish which detailed the food restrictions, this could be used to make sure staff were aware of my restrictions. The all-inclusive drinks were ok, a bit sweet but palatable. Ice lollies were available at all times, ice cream was at restricted times. The mini bar was free and contained beer, soft drinks, water and iced tea. It was replenished regularly. A large bottle of water was also provided and replenished as necessary. There were two gala nights, Octoberfest and a Turkish night, these were great and the food was fantastic at both. The evening entertainment was enthusiastic and fun. Pool towels were provided in a tote bag and could be changed daily. Currency in use was predominately the euro so take more euros than Turkish lira. One criticism is the beds were very hard but overall a very good hotel.
