Turunc Hotel

Ditto previous comments, however: There were hot showers every day when we were there - for a week.....
The journey - Be prepared for a change of vehicle in Marmaris to a smaller coach - the larger ones may struggle around the mountains that lead to beautiful Turunc
Food - What a fabulous array of choice! Lovely salads and filling Turkish food, plus chips and burgers by the smaller pool plus pizzas made in front of your very eye by the beach bar!
Hospitality - Could be better - the staff don't seem to understand English people!
Beach - On its own beach secured by guards! - the beach is not the best I've been on as the sand is dark and gritty, but the sea is clean if a little salty.
Locality - A 15 minute walk into Turunc itself - a nice walk though and much needed after all the food one eats here!
Drinks - Only local drink available for purchase in the hotel even though they have bottles of other drinks like Malibu on display - they don't sell it!
Night Life - Hotel night-life is poor, nuff said!
Conclusion - Very good value for money, not as quiet as others make out as the town is great at night but not for night clubbers.

Just returned from this hotel last week, on the whole a pleasant holiday but a few complaints to add. On arrival we were given our keys to our rooms above the reception block which is the first block built. The lift was not working so up to the fourth floor to look at the rooms, first impression was we aren't staying here for two weeks, room very clean but tired, air con not working, paintwork chipped and bathroom requiring a good overhaul.
Complained to reception and no problem, given two cards and directed to another block which I assume was brand new this year (Room 5001 up), no complaints everything went from 2* to 5* with these rooms, so it does help to complain, most of these rooms seem to be reserved for Russians and Germans.
When we were at the hotel not more than 20 to 30 British which was not a problem, except the barmen favour serving the Turkish, German and Russians first and don't mind them pushing in. Bearing in mind that the hotel had 1300 guests last week and only two people behind the bar, you had to wait a very long time for a drink sometimes, mostly served in plastic glasses and very small measures and when you got to your turn the staff were very miserable.
The food was very good and only on one night out of fourteen did we not have much selection to choose from. One of the swimming pools is adjacent to the food prep areas and on more than one occasion did I see someone slip on the marble floor and land heavily, the staff made no effort to clean up this area and dry the floor.
The beach is very disappointing as man made coarse sand and the sunbeds are the old fashioned solid wood type (no comfort there), a lot of stones on entry to the sea and on the village side of the beach very muddy under foot.
On to the plus points, even though our children are teenagers the animation team entertained the younger element first and then the older contingent from 10pm onwards and truthfully they were excellent.
We had a boat trip organised by the hotel and this was excellent value for money and a really good day out.
The village is only a short walk from the hotel and has a few bars and restaurants which are excellent and of a good quality, the main difference is that they smile and welcome you with open arms, which is the normal hospitality we are used to in Turkey.
Would I go back? a big YES to Turunc but not to this hotel .
