I want to elaborate or correct some of the reviews for this place, but I don't think there's any point really. The turkish people in general are OK, but there's this underlying arrogance. I wouldn't say rude, just a condescending attitude which is apparent throughout the region, even in Greece for instance. An arrogance the stems from the ottoman era. They seem to think the ottoman empire is still a thing and they rule a large part of the world. This gives them the right to be arrogant and even defensive if you point it out. So I don't think any changes will come from this review. First up, please please go all inclusive, they keep asking to look at your wristband, and will treat you like royalty if you are all inclusive, but should you not be all inclusive, they will treat you like dirt at the bars, even though you are willing to pay for whatever you require. For instance , order a cup of tea. They will say no you can't have it. Rather than be a bit more elaborate and explain that you aren't entitled to a free drink however it's €3 euros if you wish to purchase one. On the evening of our arrival We asked for coffee sachets for the room as housekeeping had only left creamer and sugar prior to our arrival. We were told, there's a shop across the road, where we can get some. When I asked why they couldn't give us any, they said housekeeping closes at 4pm " well next time, lead with that" said the voice in my head. Or offer an alternative like coffee is available at the bar, sir. So I don't know if it's cultural or a lack of training or just individual pigheadedness. I'll go with training... the hotel needs to encourage the customer facing staff to be a bit more courteous to its guests. No matter what level they are staying at. Offer alternatives or make suggestions, when someone has a requirement that doesn't fit their circumstances. Not just a flat NO. That being said. The hotel facilities are fabulous. I had a swim, but avoided the welness centre as they did come off as clingy . The shops beside the restaurant are brilliant. My wife loved the 3 knock off LV purses she got for €5. Yes 3 purses for €5. Also there's a great supermarket across the road. And a small shop beside the hotel you'll need these if you're half board etc. As the shop in the basement is a little overpriced for what you're buying. And won't have access to the mini bar in your room. The fridge in your room is kept empty. All inclusive get a complimentary mini bar. Everything else is free or inclusive. Except the games arcade, which everyone has to purchase tokens to play. Al in all we had a good time, we kept our interaction with the staff to a minimum. Except the ladies working during breakfast. They were phenomenal, especially Havin. All in all it wasn't great. But it was good. Ps the food is great, there's loads to choose from, so even if it is the same everyday as someone suggested in another review. You're not going to try every dish in one
