what can i say? its not 4 stars. barely 2 if you ask me. its over priced. rooms are falling apart, dirty, and the smallest i think i've ever stayed in. was supposed to stay 10 days. checked out after the first night, it was that bad. avoid

I will set the scene. Hotel is just across a quiet road from the sea. A jetty with ladder water access, decking area with comfy sunbeds and tables, a small sandy beach of about 30 meters mostly covered with basic sunbeds with easy shallow stoney access to the water which is quite a pleasurable place to swim with sunbathing platforms just offshore. The view is lovely, with the atmospheric village of Yalikavak and marina to the left which is about 15 mins walk away, to the right a busy boatyard and straight ahead the Greek islands of Kalymnos and Leros. Our room was clean and bright with a very small wooden balcony and room for one chair only There is a nice spot just in front of the reception with a couple of tables to chillout with the view and have a refreshment. The pool is of average size with a kids section and a little dull looking. The only pool sunbeds are for the ground floor rooms but there are tables at pool snack bar. This was October and pretty quiet so the staff spent a LOT of time fishing off the jetty and therefore it was difficult on quite a number of occasions to get any service, especially the ultra rude barman who thought this all was inconvinient to his lifestyle of scuba diving and just hanging around. When I complained to reception he just laughted, after all he also went fishing.Beach not cleaned after a storm. At one point there was so much bread in the water at the private beach that it put you off swimming. Staff took sunbeds and umbrellas in because of a storm but did not put them back when the storm subsided so remainder of holiday without these.Bar had no Brandy for the duration of holiday, ran out of all drinks Vodka; Gin; Raki; Red and White wine (on a rota)for up to a few days at a time, and had to complain strongly, almost threaten to get the staff to go and stock the bar. Beer was of the flat variety. Bar was in complete darkness most evenings, had to take torch to bar to see what was happening .In daylight it was worse because then you could see how horrible the washing area was. There is no way these places get a visit from a health inspector or they would be closed down. Plastic glasses had washing up residue left in glass (had to throw numerous drinks in the bushes). Food ok if you enjoy Turkish meze (which I do) but only one hot choice of main meal.No management presence which meant it was very difficult to complain about any of the above and also the staff did not seem to understand English.The A la Carte Restaurant was actually a couple of hundered meters down the road and lying abandoned. We ate all our meals in the pool snack bar as the main restaurant was closed in low season. There were no bars, just the dingy pool bar.Don't go to this hotel in low season, it would appear that the remaining staff think that this is THEIR holiday time and the guests seem to be an inconvenience to them. Also facilities are not as advertised. We still were able to have a good enough holiday going walks, swimming, shopping and mixing with other guests ect, but the Turks have always in my opinion been a mixed bag.Take it on the chin, be a man, go to Turkey!

This hotel is not for English visitors! The location is good and the rooms by the pool are quite nice but all the other rooms are pokey and dirty. We moved from one room where the plug sockets were falling out of the hotel; to another room with graffiti on the wall and massive damp patches all over the bathroom. These first two awful rooms took up the first week of our two week holiday. We were then finally moved to a room by the pool. The air conditioning didn't work and the room wasn't properly cleaned each day, all in all it was very disappointing. The food each day was disgusting. The worst all inclusive deal I've ever had. We ended up having to eat out for most meals which obviously defeats the object of all inclusive. The staff were very rude and disrespectful and laughed in our faces each time we complained.The photos on the website are very misleading. The jetty is nice and the best part of the hotel, but the photos really oversell as it isn't quite like that at all! I would not recommend going there ever!

We spent 2 weeks in this hotel in August. We had overall good impression on the place but there were some drawbacks. First of all we reserved economy rooms and they were not acceptable- we didn't expect economy could mean dark holes without real window. I can't think of a tourist wishing to stay in a room like that. In order to get better rooms we had to pay app. 150 euros for 2 weeks upgrade to room facing the pool, with nice big window. All rooms we saw were small, simply furnished, with tiny bathrooms. The janitor often omitted the room unless she was reminded to clean it. Safes were not working and were fixed after we asked for it at the reception several times (replacement of batteries was needed). One more major complaint was loud music playing in the bar with loud speakers emitting in the direction of the beach. We asked to put it down almost everyday with little success (it usually helped for short time only). Every night at about 11 a solo guitarist and singer was starting his recital at the roof bar. It was loud enough in the beginning and getting even louder when listeners got drunk in the end of the show. Additionally- the show was almost the same every night for 2 weeks- it was troublesome and boring at the same time and we couldn't sleep till 1- 2 a.m. Staff was nice and friendly, especially in the restaurant, but of little help if a problem occurred Location and food were finest qualities of the place. Hotel was located at the beach separated only by narrow street with almost no traffic. There were mattresses and chairs available (free) at the wooden platform and at the narrow sandy beach. Free drinks were not very diverse but it is normal for this class of the hotel. We absolutely loved food. There was a great choice of fresh and cooked vegetables, all kinds of salads and fruits. Meet and fish in limited variety but very good quality and well prepared. Great desserts. And fantastic view to Yalikavak bay from restaurant terrace especially during sunset.

I stayed in this hotel on the 24th October - 31st October 2011.This is the most appauling hotel i have ever stayed in.On arrival to the hotel we saw the pool was full of green moldey water and we were told it wasnt in use so we decided to go and sit on the jetty which we had seen lovely pictures of on the website,to our dismay the jetty was gone and was just a pile of rubble.On checking in our room cards were just thrown at us and we were told the lift was broken so i had to help my 71 year old father up the stairs and carry his suitcase and mine as there was no staff there to help as they were too busy fishing on the rubble jetty.As there was only 5 of us staying in the hotel we all decided to have dinner together,we arrived at the hotel at 1pm and were told we couldnt have any food or drink until 7pm.At 7pm we went to make our choice from the all inclusive buffet but were told we had to eat what we were given which consisted of rice and salad every day.Hence we decided to eat out instead.We could hardly get a drink from the bar as the barman was never there and we were told to leave the "all inclusive bar" at 9pm every night.There was never any hot water to get a shower so we had to get cold showers as we were told the hot water was broken which was probably a lie.On the first night myself and the other four guests were awoken by loud laughing and what i can only describe as sexual noises.The next day we found out from one of the english guests who spoke turkish that in the room next to hers there was 2 turkish men with a PROSTITUE and thats what all the noises were. The next night the two men still had the prostitute in the room and left the curtains open one of the other guests young daughters could see everything that was going on in the room this is totally unacceptable .A few of the guests moved rooms due to the noise from the room.On the Tuesday night myself and on of the other guests and his daughter witnessed one of the staff putting a cat in a bin bag and trying to throw it in the sea but he was stopped by one of the other guests and this upset me and the other guests daughter. On leaving the hotel the next day my I noticed just in time that fishing wire had been tightly stretched across the main entrance of the hotel for one of us to trip over which my dad nearly did as he partially sighted. On removing the wire the same man who tried to throw the cat in the see was laughing at us so it was obviously him that had done it.From then on i felt scared and intimidated and didnt even want to sleep in my room on my own .The staff were nasty and arrogant and spent all their time fishing.Drinks were served to us in sharp edged plastic cups.The only drinks available were gin or vodka.All I can say is i have been to Turkey before and as soon as i arrived at this hotel i couldnt wait to go home,I cant stand people who hurt animals.Also there were sections of a barrier missing from the first floor which anyone could have fell the 20ft drop if they had bad eyesight.
