our flight was on the 16th May 09 and we flew with saga airline, who were completely [--] and absolutely rubbish. we didnt pay much for this holiday, it was a cheep last minute get away.
First impressions of the Hotel was WOW, i loved it. me my husband and my 1 year old daughter stayed in the Annex Block room 7409 on the 3rd Floor and the room was nice big and spacious with a touch of modern class it was a shame about the balcony view as there was a mountain in the way.
There ar 5 out door pools and 1 small indoor pool and 3 water slides, the food was beautyful, tasty and the staff were soo lovely and welcoming, there is a small private beach with 3 private shafts over looking the sea, just soo beautyful.
The luggage boy was funny as he was hanging around for a tip and i just totally forgot... make sure you check oout the dolpin park, it was good.
This hotel is excellent for disable people and parent with buggies, they do meet the requirements. all in all i have nothing bad to say abot the hotel, just that when ur done and ready to check out dnt forget your towel cards cause they will charge you 10 turkish liras for them.

My family and I have just returned from a wonderful fortnight’s holiday at the Adakule Hotel in Kusadasi, we were booked into another hotel, but for some reason our accommodation was changed at the last moment and we were glad it was.
We arrived at the hotel just as the sun was setting and the amazing elevation of the hotel immediately treated us to the most spectacular sunset which could be enjoyed every night from one of many comfortable vantage positions whilst enjoying a chilled all inclusive beer or glass of tasty wine.
Our room was freshly refurbished, as I believe all of the rooms were, and it was to a high and very comfortable standard as was the entire hotel. However the lifts were peculiar to say the very least and I think had been programmed to entertain and play practical jokes on the guests, as you would push a button to go down and be taken to the top of the building instead, but who cares we were on holiday and it provided something to complain about.
Our holiday was booked all inclusive and we found the food always to be of a high standard with an exceptional range from which to pick; in fact, if anything, the selection was to big. There was lot’s to do in the daytime for our two children aged 6 and 11 years old, and the animation team were very attentive and put on a show and mini disco every evening. Since last year two more pools and a water slide complex has been added which are wonderful entertainment for the adults and children alike.
The Turkish staff was fantastic and so enthusiastic and helpful, our rooms were kept spotless and we were made exceptionally welcome.
Most of the other guests came from Holland, Belgium and Iran – IRAN! Yes, what a surprise, and if you get to know them, they are really lovely kind and caring people and not what the MEDIA has conditioned us to expect.
We had a wonderful holiday and would like to recommend this hotel to anyone who what’s a relaxing break; it’s not too loud and caters for all tastes.
I feel that the individuals who find can find more than minor faults with this hotel are possible people who would not be happy anywhere!
One negative point about the area, Kusadasi is vested by large cruise ships on a daily basis, sometimes five or six per day and the prices in the area cater for the deeper pocket, so if you are on a budget holiday do not think you will find it cheap to eat out in this area.

I Stayed at this hotel from August 14th for one week and it was amazing. One of the best holidays i have ever been on. The food was excellent with a wide Variety and the staff were very friendly and helpfull. There was always lots to do and the music and activites were great. There is entertainment on all through the night until 4 in the morning which was again fantastic and the music day and night was brilliant. The weather was boling and around 4:45 to 5:15 icecream was served and jacket potatos. The ice cream and potatos are amazing and if you taste them you can see why they are not served all day! I would rate this hotel 5* and met some amazing people there too! :) :)

i had my wedding at this hotel in June 2008 and it was a disaster, from start to finish, the staff were terrible, especially the wedding 'organiser' if thats what she likes to call herself, Very rude with no personal skills whatsoever.
when my guests arrived there was nobody there to greet them at the door, they didnt know where they were to go, the food was served at 10:30pm and our wedding was to finish at 12:00am
eventually when the food was served it was cold...i could right a story book on the things that this hotel promised me for my wedding day that i didnt get, i just dont have the time,
i will say, the hotel setting is beautiful (could do with a little update on furniture and paint etc) and its such a pity that the service wasnt up to standard i wouldnt even give one star for the service in this hotel, not to mention the hugely overpricing of drinks, and other foods. i dont think the owner would be too happy if he/she knew how the hotel was being run, it was an disgrace, i was embarressed to bring my closest family and friends such a long way to experience what we experienced, it was such a shame, I Would Not Recommend This Hotel for the likes of weddings.

Just returned from this brilliant hotel. Everything about it was fantastic apart from the entertainment ( not my cup of tea!!)
Went with my friend and had a great time, we stayed in an annex room which we loved as it was quite and had a balcony and the room was very tastefully decorated.
The food was great, room was cleaned daily with fresh towels and the staff are very helpful.
There are alot of germans and other foreigners who annoyed myself and my friend by theyre lack of respect to the staff ( snapping their fingers no pleases or thank yous... just think manners dont cost anything) the staff where great with us as we did show them respect so they would brink our drinks over when they saw our glasses empty without us even asking !!!
Kusadasi is very close with buses and taxis very very regular and there are bargains to be had..... dont be affraid to barter !!
The hotel itself is gorgeous and the private beach was fantastic for catching some rays.... to get a poolside lounger be sure to be up early to put your bed out !!
we are both young and found that if your single its not really ideal as the only single guys are the ones that work there !! more of a family and couple hotel but loved it and would return all the same .
Be sure on arrival to book your free a la carte dinner as the spaces are filled quickly.... its italian on a monday or seafood on a wednesday there is only one meal allowed per stay but doesnt matter how big your party as long as the vacancies are there.
Enjoy yourselves if youve booked as we certainly did : )

After reading some of the views left by other tourists visiting the hotel at te same time we thought we'd leave our views. we found the hotel and majority of the staff very pleasant. indeed part of the hotel did need updating but this did not in the slightest effect our holiday. we went as a couple and had a great time enjoying the facilities and turkish culture. food was good, beach was not as expected as was shingle, small and a little smelly but we still sunbathed on the wooden pier and enjoyed swimming in the sea!! Only disadvantage is that the hotel is on a cliff edge..however there are several lifts but would not recommend to the elderly.

We have just returned from Adakule and I must admit it was a lovely hotel. The staff were very friendly. Our room was very clean and beautifully decorated. The rooms also have a great sea view but my only criticism about the rooms is that none of them had balconies.
The food was great and there was a lot of choose from! The night time entertainment was ok, could be better though. The entertainment is ok for adults and older children but there is very little for smaller children except the mini disco they have.
Overall Adakule was a great hotel and we are certainly going back next year. If you do go to Adakule book a flight to Izmir airport as the one to Bodrum is a 2 hour journey to Kusadasi.
I would certainly recommend people to visit Adakule!

This was the first time I have been to Turkey and I have to say I couldn't have picked a better hotel. It was beautifully finished and the staff were polite and helpful. The facilities were wonderful and the rooms cleaned daily. If you are looking for a relaxing holiday rather than a club fest I would definitely recommend this hotel.
The entertainment varied from night to night but over all it was very good, with excursions to the local club for the younger guests. It was well organised and a member of the hotel entertainment staff were with you at all times.
I enjoyed it so much I am booking again for next year for a 2 week stay.

We have just returned from our stay at the Adakule, Turkey and I must say we all enjoyed it.
We have two young children one of which is a fussy eater but there was always something he ate. The room was lovely and was cleaned everyday and clean towels left.
The food was lovely with lots of choice and made fresh in front of you.
The location was excellent with wonderful views of the sunset. Entertainment was okay we never went to the disco but the shows where good.
I guess one downfall would be the amount of steps but we expected this with the hotel built into a cliff! There were lifts which helped!
I would love to go back to this hotel but will fly to Izmir rather than Bodrum as I couldn't stomach the two hour transfer!

Have just returned from The Adakule Hotel in Kusadasi and could not find any fault whatsoever with the hotel.
The staff were excellent and could not do enough for you. The food was excellent, there was not a night when you couldn't find something to your taste.
Would highly recommend this hotel and will indeed be looking to rebook for next year.
If there was anything I would add it would be that there were quite a lot of steps, so perhaps not suitable for more elderly guests.
