Ephesus Princess Hotel

I am 15 years of age. Me and my mum went to Ephesus princess in August of 09. We were just two women in a forgein country,
At first I was very affraid beasue there was just us two women,
The hotel was fantastic, We were in a villa which was absoulty beatuifull, We had the most amazing view of the sea,
I would not reccomend this hotel for people in wheelchairs or with pushchairs because the hotel is on a very steep hill.
All of the staff in the hotel were very kind and helpfull, I still talk to alot of waiters and the entertianment team. (via facebook).
The food was fantastic. There also was alot of enlgish style food which will be good for people who are affraid of trying something new or for children who want chips and pasta.
The only downside on the food is the pasta, There was alot of herbs in it which kind of rueined the taste but sitll the food was fantastic.
There are plenty of waiters which will make sure that you are not waiting for ages for them to take your plate.
I find the review below a lot of rubbish, Every one there was the most kindest people I have ever met, becasue they are always willing to listen to any problems.
When I went around the town I met some very kind people. I did find it very nerve racking because they kept saying things like "come into my shop pretty lady" and things like that.
I know have two friends which i met when I was walking around the town with my mum.
I would totaly advise everyone to go to this hotel. it is realy great value for money,

i was partically shocked at some peoples reviews on this site. This hotel is incredible. i'd definately go for a third time. why does everyone moan about everything?!
The hotel: On both occasions i have had a appartment on the
hill-side, although its really tiring trecking up to the room at night, it doesnt half keep you fit! if your really lazy and find exercise difficult then yeh.. book a room in the hotel, theres 3 lifts to each floor. the hotel is incredibly clean and modern!
The food: the restaurant food isnt partically incredible but eating wasnt the main part of my holiday. i wanted to get out and into the pool again or on the beach. the main aim of the food is to meet everyones needs. and there was never an occasion when there was nothing i didnt like. they never ran out of food and for buffet food, it was high standard. a different special menu each night, but still serving the basic, pizza, chips, salad etc. and the turkish food obviously.
The staff: the staff were incredibly friendly! everyone of them has a smile on their faces each morning. the entertainers want to get everyone involved in the games and they're always up for a laugh. the night-time entertainment that they put together was very good, a different show and performance each night!
All-inclusive: this is a huge bonus! unlimited burgers by the pool, drinks, cocktails, alcohol.. you just help yourself and they're constantly topping up supplys!
The beach: the beach is beautiful. i reccommend the speed-boat ride! the guy who takes you out is really friendly and lets everyone have a go at driving the speedboat!
The town: theres a bus right outside the hotel which takes u into town. we didnt spend much time in the town because the hotel offered everything we needed!
An amazing holiday both years. highly reccommend. great for kids and teenagers!

I have just returned from a family holiday at the Ephesus Princess Hotel in Kusadasi. Our party consisted of 8 adults 3 children and 2 toddlers. The hotel is very clean and impressive, however please ensure that you do not get put in the villas or appartments. Apart from being on a very steep hillside (extremly difficult in the heat and not suitable for prams) they are very basic and certainly do not deserve the official 5 star rating that this hotel gets. In fact they are very like butlins chalets.
The food in the a la carte restaurant is of average standard but you should always be able to find something that you can eat. The bookable restaurants are very nice.
Some of the staff at the hotel I found to be rude and I could not believe how many bad mannered guests there were so beware. There were arguments around the pool as some of guests used to come down and take towels off sunbeds and just park themselves and the manager was called on a few occassions to try and calm things down.
We had a good holiday as with 13 of you you make your own entertainment but personally think that this hotel is over rated. I was not impressed with the accommodation and cetain things like we could not keep a room on at the hotel was full, however there was only 2 showers for getting showered in and these were situated in the toilets were people were coming in and out. No room to hang your travelling home clothes in and when I asked staff on the reception about this I was told that you were not supposed to take hangers out of the rooms (which I had done) and the staff ended up hanging our clothes in the Managers room
Entertainment was in an amphitheatre which our toddlers thought was a good chance to climb up over the seats and this was quite dangerous so we did not go to the entertainment very often but the entertainments team worked very hard and were all very nice
On a good point the views from the villas/apartments were very good.

Myself and my family went to this hotel on 18th May 2006 2 adult and three children. We arrived to find a stunning hotel set on the side of a cliff! We had interconnecting hotel rooms as the hotel was not that busy until the following week, we were supposed to be in the bungalows!! So we had a touch! The food was fantastic and the dining went outside after three days when more guests arrived.
There is a private beach with a pizzeria and cocktail bar, The beach is located down some steps you can also get the tractor up or down after 1pm. The animation team are great and do there utmost to keep you entertained, there is an amphitheatre for the evening shows. There is a pool bar and snack bar, also a lobby bar with outside verandas to watch the sunset! There is also a TV area a pub style bar for adults. This hotel was great fun and my children enjoyed the kids club run by the hotel staff. I myself enjoyed the aqua aerobics there is also a gym and sauna with massages if you fancy!
You do not need towels as the hotel provide pool towels which they change on tues and fri. This hotel is fab and we would recommend it to anyone. The dolmus stops outside and takes you to the town every two mins, the aqua park is round the corner which is great and we did not have any queues as it was May ha ha!
We just kept going round and round i myself am 41 my husband 37 three girls 11, 8 and 5. We would return to this hotel as we enjoyed it thoroughly!
