We were moved to the Etap Altinel from the awful Mavi holiday village (don't ask just look at the reviews) and had an absolutely fantastic week. The staff were brilliant, very friendly and attentive. Our acommodation was lovely - comprising of adjoining family rooms,with a... more

This hotel was never a five star as advertised, if you look closley it needs a good clean and a complete make over.Please avoid the Annexe as these rooms are disgusting.Food that was left over was served up covered in sauces during the next meal time.Most of the time... more

On arrival at the hotel at approx 5 a.m we were given a room with broken air conditioning. As the room had been shut up all day and night, it was incrediably stuffy to the point where it was barely breathable. The luggage boy could not fix the air conditioning and told us... more

My friend and I arrived at approx 4.a.m. reception staff seemed nice and said they liked English people (I think maybe because we don't complain and our system makes it difficult to!) and duly gave us our key and we were suspicious when they took us back out of the front of... more

I booked this hotel for my son and daughter in law for their honeymoon two weeks ago. The five star hotel was fully booked so I chose a room in the four star annex. I was told that all the amenities were the same as the main hotel except that the four star rooms only had... more

Just got back from the Etap. I gave this an 8 rating but it could so easily have been 1. When we arrived we were given a room in the Annexe, it was absolutely disgusting, smell was terrible and the bathroom was terrible. We immediately went back to reception and were told... more

DO NOT GO
This resort can be summed up in three little words = 'DO NOT GO'. My wife and I booked a last minute deal with Gold Trail and thought what we paid for 5* all inclusive was exceptional value for money. However that was before we got there to discover that their idea of 5* equates to accomodation at Rigsby's 'Rising Damp' household. We arrived in the early hours to find no rep to greet us and finished up wandering coach park to eventually find rep at transfer bus complaining she did not know a plane of 300 passengers was due. After... more
Awful hotel!!!
DO NOT GO TO THIS HOTEL!!! We flew to Bodrum from Belfast in October 08 having booked a weeks all-inclusive holiday for myself and my husband. We left our home in Enniskillen at 3.30pm on Monday and arrived in the hotel at 4.30am, tired after a long days travel. The rep didn't get out of the coach to show us into our hotel and I now know why - this was advertised as a 5* all-inclusive hotel and it was far from it - I wouldnt give the hotel a one star rating! We were taken to 3 rooms when we arrived, 2 of the rooms were not ready. The third... more
Don't go expecting 5* it's not even a 2*
We arrived and had to wait over an hour for our room-of which was unsuitable, dirty,not made up from the last guests and only 2 single beds when there was 3 of us,they moved us to a room with 3 beds no bed linen and 1 hand towel between us, we immeadiatly called goldtrail and asked to be moved no matter what the cost was,we were told this is their best hotel and there was no where else to go. food was dreadfull not enough to go around-when it's gone it's gone! the nice desserts run out 20 mins after the dining hall opened as guests got... more
Enter at your peril!
We have just returned from a last minute break at this property, which I must say was extremely disappointing. This property is rated as a 5 star property by tour operator Goldtrial travel, which to be honest is 5 stars too many! The property itself is situated approx 5 miles from any other buildings / facilities, but is situated on the coast with beautiful views. However the standard of the accommodation, food and entertainment is well below what I would expect at a small pension. Throughout our stay the property wasn't... more
Faulty towers
We stayed at the Etap from the 27/10/08 to the 3/11/08. The weather, Turks and the dolmus bus service were fantastic. The hotel is in a pretty location, on the beach but walking distance to nowhere. Thats the good bit over. We are realistic, we did not pay much for our holiday (£298 each) and made a silk purse out of a sows ear, so we enjoyed ourselves the best we could. We arrived in the early hours of the morning and shown to our rooms, rather gratefull that we were not in the annex. The room was on the ground floor with... more
Not as bad as some reviews - stay out of the 500s
Just back from our holiday and I have to say overall we were very pleased with out stay. Perhaps this was owing to the fear after reading the reviews on this site. We booked and then read the reviews - so we were apprehensive. So much so we discussed our options with the travel agent (Hays Bishop Auckland, very honest and helpful) - they contacted Goldtrail and we were assured that if you paid for the 5 star rooms you would be given the 5 star rooms. Indeed, the Goldtrail assistant Tina gave personal assurances that everything would be fine.... more
Good hotel
We stayed here for only three nights due to being moved from our hotel in Gumbet as it was closing for the winter. ROOMS The room we got was room 305 which is on ground level over looking the restaurant. The room was clean had three beds and was of a decent size, the bathroom was a decent size complete with shower and bath, all of which worked well and we encountered no problems. RESTAURANT Some people have moaned about the food but I found it was a lot better than our previous hotel. The food was always hot, fresh and... more
isolated hotel
we as a family of four adults and one 7 year old didn,t believe the reports about this hotel. we booked this hotel in october 2007 for a 2 week holiday starting 29-sept-08 to 13-oct-08. when we arrived at the hotel reception we were greeted by a pleasant young female receptionist, after signing in we were given 2 rooms in the 500s which is via an underpass of the main road above, that we have christened ( cell block :h:), we were adamant that we would not accept theese rooms as that is the staff quaters we asked for the manager, got nowhere... more
Good holiday for the price
Just back and we were very pleasantly surprised. We did change rooms, but this was no problem. Even easier if you can wait till rep is there from Goldtrail and ask her to do it for you. Rooms ok Food plentyful and again ok, Pool very good just dive in.Sea warmer than pool and very clear. All inc drinks ok and better. We were full of apprehension when we read reviews but having paid £239 each we had much more than our monies worth. Get great local transport into Bodrum and Gumbet and check out alternative hotels. We had... more
Not as Bad as people make out
Upon booking a very late deal to stay here - my fiance and I looked at some of the reviews and were instantly worried about what was in store for us when we arrived at the hotel. One excellent piece of advice we found on the reviews of this hotel is to make sure that you are not allocated a room in the Annexe / Landview / 500 numbered rooms!!! YOU MUST NOT ACCEPT accomodation here. It is below the standard you would expect as a paying guest and this is where they house the staff. The rest of the resort was absolutley fine and we... more
