Majesty Club Tarhan Beach

we have just arrived back from a 1 weeks holiday at the Club Tarhan. We have had a brilliant weeks holiday. room was very clean and there was plenty of space. Food was good very turkish (hardly any meat). A waiter asked us to try the alacart restaurant which he advised was at an extra cost. Looked at menu and decided to go for it. Menu advised 17.5 ylt each. ordered bottle of wine. Very nice meal but not alacart. You also have to pay for any water that you drink throughout the day 2ylt each small bottle. Mini bar in your room is also checked daily and you pay everything including water and fizzy drinks. Upon our departure from the hotel today. we were advised our our bill for the mini bar and the meal. What a shock the meal cost not 17.5 each as advised. but 47.5 for the food and 65 ylts for the wine in english money thhe wine cost £30. we were not at all please but had no choice than to pay. Other than this we had a great time and would go again.

hotel rooms very sparse spartan and cramped, no sitting accomodation just beds. clean.

staff friendly but lobby staff unhelpful. doctor exhorbitant, £160 for sore throat tablets. good pools but far away from any form of other life. shops in hotel are extremely pricey double /treble the price of the small shop 'up the road'. buses frequent. dont go to the Aqua park - a real take on expecially food prices, and food and water from the outside is prohibited

Please warn everyone that is thinking of going to Turkey that Bodrum Airport is the biggest rip-off that I have come upon. There is only one ‘café’ operating there which is a monopoly. A small bottle of water is £3 and hamburgers chips and coke for 6 people was £76 pounds. Take food and water into the airport departure lounge with you and don’t fall for this massive rip-off

If you are going to this resort you must be all inclusive.

half board you feel an out cast.

it is very difficult to upgrade while there and pricing is very expensive.

some staff are ok but most are rude and state they do not understand.

you feel you are under constant supervision and being monitored.

our tour rep was also very difficult to see and flight was also what was not stipulted on flight ticket.

spent 12 - 13 hours traviling from turkey to scotland.

Room and Complex nice and clean, staff friendly.

Food ok if you like salads there was a great choice of these, couple of hot meat dishes on offer, thought there might have been more fish but only got fish one night. Kids liked the food as there was always pasta and they like the pizzas daytime in the cafe bar. I didnt reckon a lot to night time entertainment but my 10 and 12 yr old thought it was ok. on the whole it was a good holiday

overall the hotel was really nice but the food was not very nice.we all got food poisoning and heard that alot of other families did too. the food was basically was for the french and not so much for the english and if we wanted english food then we had to pay for the food or go off the complex which i think is very poor to say we was all inclusive. we expected to beable short spirit that was the turkish make which they said we wasnt aloud to we had to pay for spirits. all the staff was very pleasent and made us feel very welcome to their complex.

DON'T GO.

We've just come back from having a fortnight at the Club Tarhan with our 4 year old son and i would not recommend this to anyone. The food is diabolical always cold and no variety, stodgy rice and warm salads. There wasn't any english entertainment in the evenings and the kids club there was nothing for our son as the entertainers are Turkish and do not speak English. The complex itself is very nice and clean but stuck out in the middle of nowhere so have to get the bus into Altinkum for any decent food or entertainment. The hotel is very over priced and your not allowed to bring anything back to your room if it's bought outside of the complex. After 3 days our son wanted to come home as he was bored so we've had to try and keep him amused which has been hard. There aren't many English holidaymakers there they are mostly Turkish, German or French. The ice creams are limited to one between the hours of 5-6 in the evenings, this has been an absolute nightmare holiday for us, certainly been mislead by Thomas Cook!!!! Will not be going back!!!!

Me and my family went to Turkey on June the 30th and got there July the 1st and stayed for 2 weeks i loved it the waiters were lovely and the pool was ace and the sea was cool aswel i had a great time i miss it now we made loads of friends like the waiters and people they were lovely. We had a great time we all cryed when we had to come home we loved it that much.

we just this hour got back, from east midlands airport after spending two weeks in club tarhan. i cried when i had to leave after having such a great time. the weather was fantastic and at night time while eating in the restuarant by the pool the sunset is to die for. the waitors are really polite and great with children too. their english is very good, and i would recomend club tarhan to anyone x

From the comments below we were very anxious about going to club tarhan after we booked. Well we have to say that the comments below are rubbish we had an amazin time. Yes the food was different (turkish) but what more can you expect going to a turkish country. it was never cold no matter what time we ate. The staff were nothing but helpful and friendly, they couldn't have done more for us. The hotel was clean and tidy at all times of the day.

The only negative side was the evening entertainment which was basic (7/10) however still enjoyable to take part in!!!

Highly recommended, dont always expect what other people commented!!

My sister and I took our 80 year old mother for a week to Club Tarhan last September. I felt that I just had to write after reading all the negative comments about this beautiful hotel. It was like no other - roman villa style rooms in beautifully laid out grounds with the sea all around.

Things might have been a bit different if the weather had not been so good, but there were numerous places to sunbathe - near the pools, on the jetty, on the beach, in the gardens. yes some of the loungers were cracked but it was nearing the end of the season and we always found a parasol to use. Yes we did get up reasonably early to get a lounger but then you have to do that at most hotels these days.

I think that the Brits just want to eat burgers and chips and wont even try anything else. Surely the point of going abroad is to sample the local food ? There was always plenty of choice each night, maybe not too different from the night before but still always a good choice. The food was not as hot as we would perhaps have liked but it was tasty; and the desserts were just delicious!! and baked in the kitchens every day - I saw it being done! There was always salad, fruit and bread and a pasta or rice dish. Yet the moans that we heard all around us! - and people were extremely rude to the waiters and bar staff.

This was also noticeable around the pool bar when people wanted bigger drinks and more drinks - there were 3 of us so we just collected 6 small cups of coffee and did the same with alcoholic drinks. yes they were in little plastic cups but we were around the pools and it was often wet and could be very slippery - far better than having broken glass around.

We were embarrassed by the behaviour of some of the Brits who were so rude and inconsiderate to the staff - a smile and a thank you costs nothing and we got respect and politeness back.

My mother was treated with the utmost respect by everyone in the hotel and wherever we went.

The waiters even had our drinks ready for us when we went for our meals.

Maybe not the place for children who want to be entertained all the time but for us the most relaxing holiday we've had in years - the turkish baths were fantastic!

Just going online to book again for this year.
