Olive Garden hotel

please please don't go there. the rooms are ok, if you like a hard bed and pillow and paper sheet on the bed that is! also it can get very noisy and boy do all the sounds travel into your room. from youngsters getting in at whatever o'clock. to bedroom noises you really don't want to hear.
the pool however was very cloudy.probably due to the vast amount of chemicals put into it at 6pm when guests are thrown out.the twenty sunbeds were all reserved by 7.30am. the staff are very odd to say the least. from waiters throwing guests into the pool. to bar staff massaging a 10 year old! to the owner letting himself into young girls rooms and also stripping naked in front of them. he also propositioned a 16 year old who was with her grandmother.
the drinks included were watered down beer(i defy anyone to get tipsy on it). gin or vodka. no fruit juice for breakfast unless you paid for it. one day they did run out of beer and lemonade and we waited patiently while the waiter ran to the shop. also you are only allowed one drink at 11pm if you already have one you will not be served.
the food. oh dear, oh dear. as a cheap deal i did not expect much and breakfast was ok. the usual continental stuff. there are flies all over the food and birds nesting inside the restaurant roof above the food.lunch and dinner were 27 different salads. but they kept coming back till they were gone. two types of soup both resembling salty dishwater. and combinations of turkey or beef casserole which was then rehashed for the next meal.no fruit. no traditional turkish food. i cannot tell you how bad it was just that two couples paid to go home. unless you are self catering you will not survive this place unless you eat out every day.
the entertainment advertised only happened on 2 days out of 7 and the prize for bingo was a bag of crisps. the manager yilmaz(pronounced earmuff)was very nice and accomadating until you complained then treated you with contempt. i have just lived through an episode of "benidorm" but for comedy value i would rate it 10/10 as it made fawlty towers look organised!

we wnet to this hotel after reading report on internet. had a brillant room overlooking olive garden ,shuttle bus to beach if wanted,food okay but cheap enough to eat out in ovacik if wanted too.the manager vilmmaz was very helpful along with his staff.room very clean.the self catering accomadtion is fantasticas welooked at this before we travelled home.and we will probally will go back in september a true recommendation from a couple who have never returned twice to the same place..........

Travelling to Turkey with friends, we booked 2 apartments at the Olive Gardens. They were very clean and comfortable. A nice touch was that the new towels were arranged with rose petals - demonstrated the caring attitude of the staff. The staff were excellent - very friendly and couldn't do enough for you. This was true of reception staff, bar staff, chamber maids etc. We had booked the apartments just as a base, so did not take meals at the hotel, though we were offered an excellent package had we wished to do so. The views from the apartments were stunning - a beautiful mountain backdrop. The grounds were well cared for. We can look back on a really enjoyable holiday and would definitely recommend these apartments.

This hotel is warm and friendly, clean and very comfortable, planning my next visit already, the hotel manager Yilmaz is a gentleman, and all this staff are friendly and helpful, without ever over stepping the mark! nothing is set to chance, a very well organized and run hotel. with lots of fun injected ie the flume is great fun and the staff join in and make it a real laugh.
I would happily recommend this hotel to anyone. My two teenage daughters are going next month alone,i have no concerns what so ever for their safety. There is lots to do, i suggest the 12 island boat trip it was amazing.
You'll have a great hoilday if u go to this hotel, the food, well there's a great choice and you'll not go hungry.

I came back from my holiday on monday 16/6/08. Just to warning everyone, this hotel is no good for people who have disability (walking) problems. We had my mum who is 70 years young and some times uses a wheel chair. It was hilly all around the hotel we had to get taxis all over ovacik and into the town of fetiyne. The staff were brilliant very friendly and could help more if you had a problem.
The food was a bit bland but we adapted to it.
The pool wasnt very big but there was a loverly garden near the reception, which was quite and nice.
When we arrived we were having a good time, until friday when more guests arrived. We had the couple from HELL who were in the room above us. They went on the beer all day and all night. When they went to bed at around 12 or 1am they would argue and fight with each other, until 4 or 5 am. They spoilt my holiday for me, i work long hours and earn my money to go on holiday to relax. I could not relax with all of the arguing above me. I was very tempted to make some noise in the mornings at 7 am when i got up, but i thought of others and didnt play this game.
When i reported it to the manager he asked if i would like to be moved, which i thought was good of them. The noise carried on again the next night on saturday, at 1 am i rang the reception and the manager answered the phone, he went upstairs and told them to keep the noise down. They didnt keep the noise down, they were issued with a formal warning if they were to make any more noise they would be thrown out of the hotel. Sunday our last night in the hotel, and NO NOISE it was great, maybe the warning worked, i dont know if they carried on arguing but we went home on monday.

the staff was extremely friendly and helpful we realty enjoyed our stay here and would definatly come back again. it is very family friendly my 2 year old son enjoyed his time alot thanks to all the lovely staff and facilities. the food was lovely and they worked very hard to cater for my sons needs. the rooms were very clean and tidy. the pool area was always tidy and safe and the sorrounding gardens were beutiful my son especially liked playing in the the gardens with the ducks!!! it is in a very convineint place with the bus stop being just outside the hotel and just a short walk to hisaronu. thanks for making are holiday very special and making us feel very welcome i would definatly recomend this hotel.

I have just returned from my holiday in Turkey staying in the Olive Garden Hotel in Ovacik and i have to say as i have been coming to Turkey for many years this is one of the best hotels i have stayed at. I found the staff very friendly and helpfull, the food and sevice was fantastic and the hotel itself and the rooms were brilliant and always cleaned to a high standard. I cant say anything about last year because i didnt come then but since then they have improved the hotel by changing the staff and management and also making the hotel itself bigger. For us it was one of the best hotels we stayed at everyone was so warm and welcoming we will defitinetly be coming back this september.

a family run hotel run by loonatics the director who runs a side line estate agents in town. people beware of this man, he will charge for bottled water if guests go onto excursions, the food in hotel is by far the worse in turkey, no menue a set menue made up by sinan the cook who is about the best crook there. the other gardens are full of weeds and broken glass children can get hurt very easy, myself and my wife visited this hotel and we were very disapointed with the rooms the toilets were leaking, when reported the manager did not want to know this hotel is classed as two star we did not rate this place at all. the waiters are all related to one another and no body can speak english,

i have seen many bad reports for this hotel but have just come back. it is now under new management and staff all very nice and very accommodating couldnt help me enough food choice was good and place always clean good english speaking staff. i think they must of taken on board comments im very impressed with the quick turn around well done. they have loveley gardens with olive gardens turkish seating childs park area. water features. lovely swimming pool with slide also now new 2 bedroom apartments all new furnished. as well as 3.2 and bedroom rooms all with air con large bar all in stunning views of montaind close to town and bus route a must place to go

the area is nice but the hotel is terrible.i have been there with my boyfriend in september and i really got dissapointed.my friedns been there aswell and the reason i have been there was my friends but didnt like it at all.the staffs are great as you except from turkey but the owner is so rude.and doesnt know how to run the place.we were booked in ALL INC.but food were also not nice.there were a few of staffs there who were so helpfull and nice.but i think they are not going to be there this summer and also polish people are booking for this hotel have got some info about this year that any staffs from last year are not goin to be there anymore!so it is going to be even worst this year.
