Generally good hotel
from BachelorofArts
The hotel is generlly great, but it was much more better in previous years. I have been there 3 times, and this year we found out that the fquantity of food in main restaurants was really limited. For instance, in 2004, 2005 there were variety of food offereings on the both sides of the table in the restaurant "Gourmet". But this year the food on the both sides was actually the same. May be this is done by the administration due the high amount of guests from Russia. ( Unfortunately, some of them behave themselves in a very stupid and rude way) May be there is anothe reason for food limitation. Animation was reall funny, especially I like the format of the shows (like "is everybody ready?, lalalalala, Life is life" etc). It is good that every show begins with that format, or how it is called... The only thing that spoiled our impression is the barman Ceyhan. He was showing preferences and dislikes to some selected guests. Sometimes he was rude, and did not want to serve us properly. If he distingueshes people according to their appearence, this is not good. If you work in the sphere of service you have to be polite with everyone, you should not select people due to their appearence. Sorry. But, still, the hotel is good, especially thanks to the personnel in the restaurants, in the a-la carte restaurants, and cleaning stuff for their everyday work.
Go once and you will go back again
from Shessolucky
29 times- thats how many times I have stayed at the Ephesus Princess. The problem both myself and my family have is that the personnel who work at the hotel have become like a family to us, as many of them have been there years. All are so polite, friendly and helpful and cannot do enough to make your stay superb. So we are part of the furniture here now and to be honest we wouldnt want it any other way. Sellings Points Views- you cant beat them All inclusive- value for money (the standard of food is exceptional, along with the first class serviceand organisation in all of the restauraunts) Choice of bars- you will never be short of a drink (the bar service is excellent) Security -the children can never wander off and are always safe, you can even place them in the capable hands of Ozlem in the Mini club who will care for them for you. Security also patrol the hotel constantly ensuring everyones safety. Beach and Watersports, the choice of activities are endless. I have left the best until last- The Animation Team Chief Bora Buran Choreographer Oxana Laskova Assistant Chief AJ The Animation team provide constant entertainment for guests from 10am until midnight 6 days per week. The variety in endless, competitions, pool games, Aqua gym, music quiz, many more things and thats just in the daytime. Every evening is Showtime at 9.30pm and you can enjoy the delights of what can be described as West End Shows, totally professional entertainment from a group of extremely talented personalities.They produce musicals or cabarets, trust me you will be amazed and will be very impressed with what you see. Dont miss the Black Light Show. Please do not miss the chance to stay at the Ephesus Princess, I never do. ENJOY XXXX

Fantastic holiday
from yummy-mummy31
Fantastic resort, with friendly and very helpful staff. We went there is Aug 2007, our party included my mum, my 6 and 8 year old children, my sister and her 12 week old baby. We stayed in a 2 bed apartment, which was well maintained on a daily basis. Other accommodation available includes hotel rooms. All the meals were available in the main restaurant in the hotel, which was a 5 minute walk down the step, as the apartments are situated at the top of a hill. we also had the opportunity to eat in 2 al carte restaurants which were great especially the turkish restaurant. Food is available in abundance throughout the day. The beach can be accessed via another lot of steps must be about 200 of them. There is a tractor service down to the beach after lunch for those who may need this, especially on the journey back up to the resort. Once on the beach there is a bar and lunch and snacks available as part of the all inclusive. Various water sports are available at a reasonable cost. Kid club was enjoyed by the children, and the evening entertainment. Overall the holiday was enjoyable, the only disadvantage is that it has may steps and it is situated at the top of a hill. Kusadasi town and market was easily accessed using the frequent dolmus (taxi) just outside the resorts main gate, they are cheap form of transport but can get packed at times,but dont let this put you off just wait for the next one!!. Adaland a great aquapark is literally next door, and the kids and adults alike are sure to enjoy this. This resort is ideally situated for an excursion to the old roman city of Ephesus. Margaret
Awful, don't book it
from England_7
Did the people who went in Sep 2007 go to a different hotel to us? This is not a good Turkey experience there are much better out there! This is sold as a 4 star + and ultra all inclusive but our experience was very disappointing. Have been to Turkey on more than 7 occasions now and this was the worst ever. I read so many fantastic reviews of this hotel from past years but I cannot find anything good to say about this hotel. The food was uninspiring, the same rechurned stuff every day and usually very cold. The kids buffet was the same every single night, chicken nuggets and sausages. The food left all of our party ill at some point during the stay. The snacks by the pool are burgers and hotdogs every day which is very boring after 2 weeks. The entertainment left alot to be desired and there was little else to do in the evenings if the shows were poor. All bars shut at midnight every night so after midnight you cannot get a soft or alcoholic drink and basically have to go to bed! Even if you sit around having got a drink in at midnight the staff turn the lights off on you. There is a sports bar but you have to buy the drinks in there and during 2 weeks there I never saw anyone in it due to the price of the drinks. There is a disco but only 3 nights a week and this is until 2am but the music is the same every time. The resort is good and the nightlife in town good but 6KM away and the last bus back is midnight so to get back to the hotel its about £15 in a taxi after 12am. The next door hotel has a fantastic nightlife till all hours and this can be heard from your villa so if you are off to bed at midnight you get to listen to others in another hotel having fun while you are not, or trying to sleep! The brochure describes the hotel as on a steep hillside which is clear in the picture but fails to tell you that all the rooms are up a hillside too. If you get the wrong villa to stay in it is a hike up and down to the communal areas. Certinately don't forget anything in your room. It is not at all suitable for people with small children and push chairs like us. The staff were mostly unhelpful and miserable. There are a few who are happy to help but they are few and far between. There is a "beach" of sorts. There are man made sunbathing platforms and a roped off area to swim and do water sports but there is no sand or shore line for children or non swimmers. All in all an extremely disapponiting holiday and would suggest that people read this before considering booking. I would not go again nor recommend this hotel. It was not worth the money paid.
Oxy the star of the show
from Pintofmilk
Just returned from another great holiday at the princess. What can i say. 10 out of 10 The food is even better than last year, the entertainment was great and well performed by the co'ordinator OXY, she realy is a star, as well as all the other animation team! Bora is the mc and does a great job of getting the crowd going before the shows. they also do a great job with the kids. and put on a kids show which was great. The hotel was still spotless The staff were all Happy and courtious from Songul behind the bar in the lobby,to Rifat in the pescatora,on the beach. I was lucky to be there for the 30th of August celebrations. The Mc again was the Man, Bora, who put on a great show. with the help of Oxy. all in all the holiday was made even better by the profesionalism of the animation team, especialy Oxy, A big thank you to you all if you ever get to read this.
Excellent Ephesus
from trish90
This was our first visit to Turkey, at first we was a little reluctant, but this was the best holiday we have had. The rooms were very nice and kept clean every day, the food was also nice, with a wide variety to suit everyone. The staff in the hotel were very friendley and helpful. and the animation team were brilliant, a different show was put on every night so there was no repetition or boredom, they made us feel included in all the activities, what more can i say we will be going back to this wonderful hotel.
Certainly The Best!
from Elvan18
Ephesus Princess is the best hotel I've ever been in. There you'll find a lovely atmosphere.It is located in Selçuk near the house of virgin and the ancient site Ephesus. Rooms are modest but comfortable there are 2 types of rooms one is hotel room and the other is villa. I've gone there 3 times and each time I stayed in villa, it was a bit far from the main hotel but I liked walking anyway. Food is excellent both in the main restaurant and a la carte restaurants. You should definitely try Pescatore and Agora Tavern. At the beach there is tropical pub you can have a drink there all the time. The Vine House is very good to relax at night, there is usually live music. In Cafe Turka you may try the delicious traditional Turkish coffee. There are three pools. The beach is very good and there is music all the time. When you come back home you will surely want to go there back the next year as I do. Please try it you'll not regret.
want to go back

When we arrived at 11.30 we were given the key to our villa, villa.. This was small and very basic reminded me of a 2 star property. The furniture was ancient, chipped and You had to squeeze past the fridge to get to the balcony. Animation team are excellent. Mini club is... more
