10 / 10
May 2012, Steve C

this has to be one of the best places to stay in altinkum. the rooms are clean and well sized.the pool is fantastic and there are plenty of sunbeds.the staff are second to none and bend over backwards to help with any of your needs. its like you are a part of there family when you stay there.the apartments are located in the centre of the resort and every thing is in easy reach. the beach is just 2 mins away.there is an all night disco opposite but its not too loud and dont forget you are on holiday if you are the complaing type that has to find fault with everything dont stay in a resort.they do excellent all day snacks and meals and the bar is very welcoming with large L.C.D tv if you dont want to miss the match.they have belly dancers,bbq nights and the local break dancer boys.me and my family have been there for about 5 years so i know what i am talking about you will not be disapointed .....

well i went to the dolunay for the first time in 2011 after going to turkey every year and staying at the orion but me and my family were impressed with the way everything worked at dolunay the apartments are clean and there is lots of space the people who work there are so friendly every time we saw them they would always say hello and seem so proud they work there the gardener is up early every morning making sure every where looks nicee,the swimming pool is great,dolunay is in the middle of dolphin square and the pubs in altinkum dolphin square is a five minuet walk down the road from dolunay the only bit of advice i would say is if you dont like loud noise dont stay there dolunay is opposite and open roof night club called medusa but me and all my family slept through the noise it wasnt that bad i really dont have anything bad to say about dolunay booked up to go straight back there this year with my boyfriend and my mum on the 28th of may if you like altinkum i would suggest this is the best place to stay my veiw from my balcony was brilliant could see the pool the bright blue sky and the wonderfull veiw of the beach.

the dolunay is opposite not one but three open air night clubs which play until 5am. the air conditioning is only in the main bedroom which meant the other bedroom and the bed in the living space were very very hot.the staff are all lovely and very helpful,pool great but the surface around the pool is very slippy and saw a lot of people almost fall.

I have been to the Dolunay twice now, and am planning on going back this year for a third tim. The staff are fantastic and very helpful and alway up for a good laugh. The apartments and spacious, clean and a maid comes in virtually every day. At lunch times they serve a fantastic menu, washed down with a nice cold bear lol. The Dolunay also has its own restaurant in town which is good value for money and has very pleasant surroundings.
The beach is just a short walk down the path, but is very packed, but in my opinion the pool is beautiful, clean and free sunbeds,what else could you could ask for.

our stay n review

May 2009, beasant09

The complex is very well kept n the staff are very friendly. We stayed there for a week in May 09. The apartment we stayed in was a 2 bed with a balcony overlooking the pool and we found it very spacious and clean. It had just been renovated and had all we needed. The cooking equipment was very very basic but who wants to cook whilst on holiday - very cheap to eat out. there was no toaster but when we went to the food area on site they done us toast free of charge. There was a kettle but girls dont forget ur hairdryer. The pool was lovely and u could always get a sun bed. The complex also has there own restaurant on the front we booked a table for my birthday and they even pick you up and take you there. The food was excellent. the beach is a stone throw away.
The only down fall was the nightclub opposite. It opened earlier then we where told and it gets very noisey thru out the night and worse on a weekend. So dont forget to take your earplugs. Other holiday makers staying there said they got used to it and it you had an apartment on the grround floor or by the reception area it wasnt so noisy. We where in room 8 and had no sleep even after loads of raki but you do get used to it.
Great holiday and the trips that the reps offer are cheaper off site.

I love staying in these apartments. The staffs are so friendly as are the locals. The apartments are situated in the perfect location with bars and resturants in walking distance. The swimming pool is a lovely size as others in the area are tiny. I would reccomened the apartments to everyone families nearer the end of July whilst couples and youngsters towards the begining. I have been to these apartments 2 years running and will proberly go again next year.

Stayed here in 2001 and 2002. Well...

Jul 2008, jimmypunter

Stayed here in 2001 and 2002. Well run apartments. Yah Yah and Achmed (he's no longer there) both very nice blokes and helpful at all times. Visited in 2007 when staying elsewhere in Altinkum and place still looks good. Couldn't book privately as it's tied in to some holiday company. It lacked air con in those days but maybe that's changed. All in, a very nice place, nice pool with nice staff who are not over friendly.
Manageress and the owner were a bit aloof but hardly saw them anyway.
Medusa disco across the road was busy but not that noisy to be honest.
Snacks were basic but ok and always prepared fresh.
Would certainly go back if I could book it up.
We did the 4 day trip to Istanbul. A bit tiring but the sights were great including Gallipoli, Troy and some nice other stop - offs en route. Hotel was nice in istanbul but they tried to put us all into one medium sized room (2 adults and 3 kids) and I said no to that and they gave us 2 rooms.
Our first trip to Altinkum was in 2001 and it was VERY cheap there. However over the years it has become a little expensive. In 2001 a family of five could easily dine out in a local restaurant (not serving fish and chips and burgers) with wine and beer for about £25 - £30. Last year the price was easily £60 - £75 for more or less the same. In 2001 a fair bottle of wine could be bought in the MIGROS supermarket for about 75p. Last year it was standard UK prices as in ASDA - say £3 - £5 for a cheapo bottle.
In 2001 the only cash machine was away up beyond the MIGROS and we had to travel to it to get cash. Now the place is full of cash machines and very busy.
