I went with my sister on holiday for a week, we got to the hotel... it was very clean, the lifts made noises, our first room was ok, the shower did not work properly but was acceptable and the room was spotless. our second room however was spotless but nothing worked no lights or anything, the reason for the room change was money went missing out of our first room and we reported it to the staff in the hotel, they had the atittude of "It not my problem" ?!?!?
The food (if you can call it that) was not good at all lunch and dinner there were choices of salad, salad, square meat balls, rice, noodles oh and more salad!! not what i call a good range of foods.
Turunc is an amazing place not faulting that, we had a good time at the bars and meeting people.

it is appaulin nothing for kids to do no entertainment staff very rude,my daughter was 8 and my son was 6 when we went they had a grap time

firstly the good bits, turunc is fantastic, the staff are great, the hotel is spotless,
however, the food and drink was terrible, chicken or meatball for 14days!! and gin or vodka and thats your lot.it was a cheap holiday and we got what we paid for, not much!! shame really, we will go back to turunc, just not 2 my meric, its self catering next year!!

I have been to turunc over 14 times, the people there are lovely, the bars and restaurants are fairly priced. i have been on this page and the reviews of this beautiful village are awful! if you have never been to turkey before then turunc should not be the first place you visit, it is a quiet small village ideal for couples. if you want a spain copycat family holiday then chose the advertised holiday resorts such as Marmaris. of course a mini bus takes you up the hills into turunc, its much safer than a big old coach. it says in all holiday brochures that turunc is a tiny village, therefore there arent loads of holiday makers, meaning they dont need a coach as a transfer into the village. Boat taxis are cheap and take 40 mins to ride into Marmaris, or 20 mins into Icmeliar. meaning once you are there there is no need to travel up the high mountain. The beach is close to many hotels and the sea is beautiful. Turkish people do haggle, thats what their famous for, but if you think turunc is bad you have obviously not been to any other resort in turkey. this village is stunning and the people there i class as family, they do not rip you off and they are not rude. English people, i am ashamed to admit are ignorant, and expect too much from foreign countries.

Hotel is very dirty, cold food, dirty and stained sunbeds. Totally mis managed and needs a Abta Rep to inspect it. Worst holiday ever.

DO NOT BOOK THIS HOTEL!!!
The bedroom is quite nice, go into the bathroom disgusting, toilet filthy, showers hadn't been cleaned from the previous holiday maker, and the smell of sewage coming up from the blocked sinks! Food was uneatable, the bar was only open for one night, we had three seperate rooms, and had NO HOT WATER (not even warm) for the entire week. Mouldy food left in hallways, water leaks coming through the ceiling from the swimming pool, third floor had so much damp that plaster was falling of the walls the whole way down the corridor (And the hotel is only suppose to be 2 years old). The manager just shrugged his shoulders when I complained to him, and blamed the reception staff!!! which I thought was really nice. Oh and no water in the baby pool !!! To sum it up ABSOLUTELY DISGUSTING.
I have had to rate this as 1, but in all fairness it doesn't deserve and rating

I really don't know what people expect when they go to a foreign country - exactly the same food as you would eat here???
Yes, the food was quite repetative, the hot selection being mainly chips and something. But there was plenty of it, being topped up when running out (as far as I could see).
The array of salads was amazing. OK, some of them were probably left-overs disguised.
I think they mainly cater to the many Russian and Germans staying there, who always seemed to have vast plates of food, rather than the British who were complaining all the time.
To comment on other peoples gripes:
The pool bar stayed open to 11 while we were there.
I didnt notice any drinks running out, but maybe sometimes there was only red wine in the restaurant rather than red, white and rose. Limited choice, but it does say local beer and spirits. If you want branded names or any other spirits other than vodka, gin or raki, then go elsewhere.
There are toilets on the ground floor (reception and 'lounge area'), the first floor (restaurant) and third floor (next to the pool). Which seems plenty to me.
Yes, the water was mainly from cold-tepid to warm-tepid, and it did occasionally cut out, but was back on again within an hour. When you see how arid it is there, you will be surprised it didnt run out more often.
The staff were lovely and friendly if you were nice to them. They do work very long hours. One bartender said he worked from 8 in the morning till 2 in the morning. But they all smiled back if you smiled at them, and would joke if you made the effort. Which is more than I can say for a lot of staff I have met in this country.
It did take a long time to get there, which is more the fault of the transfer company rather than the hotel. And the hotel is not going to be able to flatten the mountains and improve the roads. I didnt find it that scary at all, but could imagine with some drivers it could be.
Turunc is a small and quiet place, but with enough tourist bars and restaurants.
Great for families with small children happy with splashing in and out of the water all day, not good for teenagers who might want a bit of action. Not for groups wanting to be clubbing and drinking all the time.
Myself and my friend all in all had a lovely, relaxing time and would definitely go there again.

OK this hotel has been slaughtered on here! admitably its not amazing! the food was quite repetetive and although there wasnt much choice of hot food, it was usually hot AND it did taste quite good! The bar closing at half 10 instead of the promised 11 was a bit poor but when we got to know the staff and got them in the party mood we was in they started being more lenient with us!
At first the entertainment was poor. and still is! but we took the initiative to make our own! we got the music blasting by the pool and spent nights getting drunk and dancing with anyone and everyone! even the bar staff there ocassionally did their turkish dance for us!
The staff there seem to work all day everyday. and even though this is the case they nearly always smiled and were extremely friendly! The only real problem with the hotel was the reliability of the lifts! seemed there was always 1 out of service and u had to wait forever for the other! the people we met there, both customers and staff made it an amazing holiday for us!
also if you're there check out the walk inn bar across the road, and if u walk down to the beach and follow it right round to the left there is "dream boys" which im sure most of the girls would enjoy!!!
