" best holidey ever "
Submitted By: dayf&lyn
ok so where do i start, whow what a holiday, this has to be one of the best holidays we have been on, we like others read the reveiws on this place and thought oh god what have we done, but how wrong we were, on arriving we were greeted by the staff at the front desk and they could not have been more pleasent even if they tried, and this continued for the whole two weeks from the porters to the resturant staff there was never a problem with any of them they were all so helpfull and nice, the rooms were of a good size and loved the fact the safe is free not like a lotter hotels now days as to was the mini bar thats filled up everyday without fail(unless you ask for room not to cleaned) the maids were excellent in the jobs as well, there are enough bars for what you want we were in a group of 15 ranging from 9yrs to 47yrs the kids club entertained the little ones and the disco took care of the 20yr olds and of course us olduns, there was entertainment in the ampitheater every night,ok so it was not always to our liking and prehaps could have had some shows and singers brought in instead of the animation team, but the day time acctivities were excellent, but you have to get up and take part to fully enjoy which is what we do, so your entermaintent program really depends on yourself, join in and enjoy, the animation team were outstanding and were there to please get to know them and you willo have a faantastic holiday, if you would like something done speak to entertainment manager and he will do his best we wanted a karoke night and he arranged it for us also a bingo night, cant get no fairer than that,the food was of very good standads and there was plenty to eat, you can acctually eat for 22 hours of the day dont miss the jacket potatoes at 3pm and the hot doughnuts at 4pm drinking is 24 hours lol on the downside of the drinking you have to go to the tower bar after 2am when discos shut where its quite and can be a bit of a problem for those trying to sleep in the rooms directly above the bar, out and about we went to 1 market but please do not expect cheap this is very far from it aparently this is the rich mans area of turkey and the prices reflect this 1 word of advice if you feel peckish for snacks buy from the shops directly opposite hotel and not in the hotel as we found out 2 packs pringles and a choc bar cost 18.00 pound so be carefull,(thats 18 english) i could go on for ever but id only bore you so overall this was a fantastic holiday so if you are going shortly we all hope you have just a great time as us, oh yeah and ps they do not do an english breakie lol

" Absolutely Fantastic "
Submitted By: ASSASSIN
The whole Sherwood Breezes experience is one never to be missed. The Hotel is fabulous and Everything is spotlessly clean. The staff are very friendly and nothing is too much trouble for them. The food is out of this world and it would be almost impossible for anyone to not find something delicious and to their liking at every meal time. All bar cocktails are free and the bar staff love to make a special drink just for you from whatever you fancy !
The Animation staff are wild and whacky and put on shows for every age group. Participation is optional, if you want join in you are welcome, if not you are never 'pushed into it' as is the case at other hotels we have been to which often spoils the evening.
The rooms are comfortable and the mini bar is replenished every day. Hot water any time of the day and the maid service exceptional.
Not to be missed is the Turkish bath and massage. Dont go home without one and dont bother to have one out of the Hotel, the one on site is a very special experience and the staff sre extremely professional and polite.

Advice: A lovely friendly place and one we will return to
Activities: Dont miss the Roman theatre tour, a must for those interested in well preserved history

Unfortunately we found there to be more negative aspects to this hotels than positives. I have listed them both below.
Postives
• Perfect weather – 36 degrees most days
• Room clean
• Pools clean
• Transfer time from airport 20-25 mins
• Checking in and out very quick and easy
• Male belly dancer called Alejandro, even the men were impressed with his talents!!
• Enough entertainment throughout the day for active people
• Enough beds for this time of year although I doubt there would be at full capacity
• Water sports available, I highly recommend the parasailing at only 35 euro pp
• Clean private beach, although you won’t be able to walk on the sand due to the heat
• Spa, Haman only 45 euro consist of scrubbing, soap massage, face mask and full body massage. Definite value for money and helps keep your tan for longer!!
Negatives:
• Room, throwback to the sixties, very basic for a hotel claiming to be 4/5 star
• The shower either has no water of was too hot or too cold.
• The food was 3 star quality, but quite diverse
• There are no lifeguards at the pools, so the relax pool is prone to becoming the unrelax kids pool once the slides close at the end of the afternoon
• The mini-bar was an oven rather than a fridge
• The bed only has a large towel as a sheet – very uncomfortable
• Fresh orange juice was only available in the morning. All cocktails are made with cordials.
• The main bar was supposed to be 24/7, but at midnight all the lights on the terrace outside where switched off and we were informed it was bed time
• Although the staff work very hard, a few more smiles and less gossiping would go a long way
• Although we had beds every day, by 8am most were taken. I would not like to be here in high season as you would have to secure a bed by 6.30 am!!
• Entertainment apart from gala night was poor with the same act being on twice within one week
• There are only 3 lifts for the 10 floors in the hotel, leading to long waits
• We were on the top floor and our balcony smelled of stagnant water from the roof and was full of fag ends
As you can see it is not a place we would recommend or go back to. It is okay if you are looking for a relatively cheap holiday away in a country with guaranteed nice weather, but don’t expect any luxury. There are loads of other hotels on the same strip which are nicer and around the same price. We have stayed in numerous all inclusive hotels in various countries and are generally quite easily pleased, but this below par.
