Etap Altinel Hotel

Me and my wife booked to go to the Etap Altinel just one week before, at the beginning of May 2008. We were fortunate to pay a very low price for the weeks break including transfer fees, unbelievable value for money. In fairness, we were pleasantly surprised when we got to the hotel. The room we stayed in had a sea view. Although there were a few minor problems with the room, the staff sorted them the same day. It was evident that the hotel was still being worked on whilst we were there, ie: painting, finishing touches to rooms etc. You have to remember that Turkish workmanship will never be as good the UK and the hotel had only been opened a week. However, the food was quality, fresh and well presented, don't expect a full English Breakfast though. The whole complex was clean and tidy, and rooms were cleaned nearly every day. The pool area was fantastic and the hotel had a private beach which was very picturesque. The animation team were relly good and interacted with guests and were very helpful. The bar staff were also very jovial and you could not fault the waiters. The general manager seemed to be every where keeping a check on things. We would definitely go back again. They had just finished the Turkish baths, sauna, and spa area just as we were leaving, whick looked really good. There was also a winery, outdoor pizzeria, ampitheatre that was all being renovated for the main season. For the kids there was also a separate slide pool. I think that this hotel will have much more to offer in the coming months once the season gets on the way. Meanwhile, thanks to Senan, Barok, Ilkay, Khan (Ali G), Serap and your top DJ for all the quality laughs we had. Look forward to seeing you all in the future.
