We arrived at the hotel after our flight was delayed for 12 hours. when we got there they couldnt find our booking but then managed to find it. Reception staff i think were very rude. They hardly speak english... Infact hardly any of the staff speak english!!!! but anyway we got a revolving room upgrade which we paid for which was nice room.. all white.. the pool had no swim up bar. they make there money by offering you only breakfast and lunch so durring the day you will pay for lunch, snacks and drinks which prices are EXPENSIVE!!!. overall stay was ok enjoyed the old town shopping. but i was dissapointed with the cusiune in this hotel as they did not serve no turkish cusine... i dont know why. i even asked a waitor why you dont make turkish food as we have come here we would like turkish food. the reply was the manager says not too. so for kebabs we had to go out of hotel....

The hotel is located some distance from the city centre, on the old Lara road. The outside is as pleasant as it looks on the website. What I disliked The rooms are postmodern to an extreme. The photos on the website are from the superior class of rooms in the revolving annex. The main hotel has rooms painted, say, fluorescent green on one wall, orange on the wall opposite, but with the ceiling left unpainted grey. One would have throught that they could have at least used white cement, but it would have cost more. The last thing you are likely to see as you fall asleep is the lovely grey cement ceiling in all its imperfections. The furniture is rough, with a bit of paint daubed on. This is, I believe, supposed to be witty, but if I wanted to holiday in a run-down fisherman's shack, I might have spared myself a lot of expense. The lack of doors on the cupboard was also annoying. I am unsure as to whether the lack of carpeting is a good or a bad thing. Good for the cleaning staff for sure (but it's not as though we're likely to bring sand back with us into the room - the beach, small as it is, is rock). But the tiles were OK, I suppose. The television was, by today's standards for 5-star hotels, pathetic. A small CRT perched on top of the stand disguising the minibar. Feeble selection of TV channels. No pay TV I could make out. The bathroom was spotless, and the toiletries average. As it was not yet full summer, airconditioning around the hotel was limited to certain hours. Got stinking hot during the night, unless you opened the windows, and I'm not that fond of mosquitos. But the reception did, after a couple days and complaints, finally relent and allow airconditioning other than during the regular hours. The lack of balconies bugged me, but that is my fault: that at least was to be seen on the website. What I liked The food was fun. Small, bite-sized open buffet, plenty of variety, pleasant to look at. The food quality, however, was occasionally variable. Service was often slow for drinks. The food hall itself is also fun. The setting was brilliant. Perched on top of a short cliff, overlooking the bay. The gardens were well-maintained, as was the pool. The hotel taxis were clean, courteous and not prone to taking the long route to wherever we were supposed to go. Service was courteous throughout the hotel. I cut my stay short because, frankly, I can only take so much grey cement. But other than trying to repackage cheap into postmodern and charging for the latter, I really do not have all that many problems with this hotel.

Plage pas superbe, hotel moyen, repas basés sur les féculents mais pour un tarif vraiment correcte, pn peu pas tout avoir !!!
