Atac Hotel

We have been to this hotel for the past two years and are going again in May. There is absolutely nothing wrong with this establishment, for the price you pay it's fantastic. The staff are brilliant, can't do enough for you.
Looking forward to seeing Ike and all the staff again soon.

me my mum dad nd brother had never been abroud before so the four of us plus my nan nd grandad went to turkey and stayed at atac hotel it was a suprise for my 2 uncles and 3 cousins at first the out side of the hotel looked gruby when we got inside it was ok at first as we got further in to the holiday we found staff moaning about the children in our family laghing and having a laugh complaints were constatly made about us jumping in the pool because we get people who were sat on the edge of the pool were getting wet the state of the room was ok we were only gonna sleep in there after all but the bathroom was awful and they were really strict on the toilet paper there was a few kind members of staff like ike rasit and a few more but the thing that really ruined the holiday was when some one on reception threatened to kill my cousin for laughing we were walking through reception in the middle of the day and he said to my cousin 'ill break your bones' we checked with another member of staff and he clarified it meant im gonna kill you so if you go just dont laugh cus you'll get threatened the only thing that made the holiday was the 2 restaurants charlies bar and jollys and the cheap designer clothes and bags e.t.c i hope this helps you make your decision

We didn't expect luxury from this Turkish 3star hotel and we certainly didn't get it. The room was basic as we knew it would be but the shower didn't work, most of the time there was no hot water and only one plug socket worked. The small glimpse we had of the food preparation area at breakfast wasn't very clean however we were satisfied with the breakfast on offer. The restaraunt manager Ike was friendly enough but every time he came to talk with us he tried to get us to eat our evening meal at the hotel. The first time the meal was cold and they had run out of pitta bread (pretty important for a kebab)so they just brought ordinary bread, the second time was the special Turkish night with all different salads and meat (chicken, lamb, and beef)buffet style NOT. The salads, rice and pasta were fine but you were then served the meat which consisted of 2 chicken wings (suspect they were actually a sparrows from the amount of meat on) the tiniest cubes of lamb that could be put on a skewer and 2 half sized burgers. The rest of the staff at the hotel were friendly and helpful and you can't fault the location. It's really close to a lovely beach and there are loads of good local restraunts and bars. I wasn't happy about getting hassled from the shops and bars every time we went out and I think Altinkum is just too commercialised for me, a bit like Benidorm, however there were many people we met who love it and keep going year after year.

My initial impression of the Hotel Atac was that it was a very simple hotel. Bed, bathroom. However, given that when you go on holiday you only want a shower and a sleep from your hotel room, the simplicity of it wasn't an issue. The room was clean, and had everything you need.
What really makes the Hotel Atac one of the best places to stay, is the staff. From the owner to the lads who work behind the bar I have never been made to feel more welcome. They couldn't do enough for you, nothing was too much, friendly and helpful.
The drinks and food were all reasonably priced, the evening meals were fantastic, and again didn't break the bank, so much so that myself and my partner ate there on a number of occasions during our stay. The Turkish night on Friday nights was fantastic fun and made even more so by the staff doing their best and working hard to get everyone involved.
From reading the comments here, I will say that never did I find the staff rude or unreasonable towards those with children. Though they curbed unruly and frankly sometimes dangerous behaviour in the pool, such as jumping in, running around the poolside, or splashing the other guests by the pool, I found none these warnings, gently and quietly given, to be unjustified, simple that they were given to ensure that everyone from families to couples can enjoy the pool area.
A fantastic hotel, a wonderful team of staff. Back next year for sure.

where do i begin, on arrival we found reception and staff were very nice towards us helping us to are room with are suitcases. However the sea view rooms were very small and basic with no tv or fridge but were kept very clean by the cleaners that came in everyday and changed towels regually. The pool area's were both very spacoius and clean however we used the hotel pool more due to it having a shallow end which is unusual in hotels in turkey. The first week we were able to get sunbeds no problem but later in the holiday all sunbeds were gone early by people that weren't staying at the atac hotel so i would advice people who like to lounge around the pool to get up early and bag yourself a bed. If you are unable to get a bed i can recommend going to the beach which is only 2 mins away and only costs 4 lira for a sunbed all day. The staff were friendly at first but we found them to be very pushy towards eating and drinking at the hotel at night time when we liked to go out around the restaurants. At nighttime we would recommend going to the buzz bar and british bar for a drink as they had good entertainment and friendly staff who never hassle, for eating out the touch of class was fantastic for english food and staff always made you feel welcome.

Every year we come to Altınkum wıthout faıl and every year we stay at the Atac hotel...
We are always welcomed wıth opened arms. The staff old and new are absolutely fantastıc throughout the stay wıth a more famıly orıentated atmosephere, wıth that I mean they treat you lıke famıly and frıends wıth genuıne feelıng behınd theır efforts...
Whıle readıng certaın revıeves about the Atac hotel you may fınd revıews that gıve derogatory comments about the hotel but, please try to make your own mınd up...
I love the Atac... I love the staff and Mr Atac ıs an absolute GEM of a guy... If you ever go to Altınkum/Atac hotel go wıth an opened mınd and you wıll have a fantastıc experıence... one last thıng... Ozge atac ıs Harıka...

Having read mostly good reviews and some bad reviews about this place I booked our holiday to stay at Hotel Atac with Thomas Cook thinking it would be OK.
The hotel is located very close to the beach and many bars and restaurants but that's about all it has going for it.
Our room was less than basic with a tiny bathroom. The tub didn't drain well, the flush on the toilet was unreliable and there was never any hot water available to shower with in the mornings. On a couple of ocassions there was no water in the hot tap full stop!
We asked our rep to have has moved to atleast another room, but he didn't try very hard and nothing happened so for a week we had to put up with living in bad conditions.
AC, safe and fridge was extra. Breakfast offered very little choice. In the 8 days we were there our sheets had never been changed. The towels had only been changed because we asked for them to be done but we were told they only get changed once a week. The room had only one electrical outlet so if you have a kettle, iron, hair straighteners, phone/iPod/camera charger etc, you have to try and prioritise.
Only the night receptionist spoke English. The day receptionist was rude and didn't know how to smile! The staff tried to keep us in the hotel by saying it was unsafe to go out at night because of the gypsies and when we took no notice because it's perfectly safe, they got quite rude.
The best part of our holiday was when we had to be re-located to another hotel. When I dared to complain about the lack of water on the second occassion, the hotel owner came up to our room and was very rude and aggressive, verging on the violent side. Only then did our rep get his supervisor involved and because she experienced the owners attitude first hand when she tried to speak to him, we were moved to another hotel that very night.
Having spent time at some of the local restauarants talking to the waiters it became apparent that no-one had a good word to say about the hotel or it's owner.
I would say steer well clear from this hotel if you want an enjoyable holiday, but if it's a holiday from hell you want, this is the place to be!!

It was the most worst hotel I`ve ever been.We went with Thomas Cook Travel Agency but our holiday was provided by Manos Holiday.The hotel description on the website was different than we found in the hotel.You have to be ready for spending at least £30 a week if you would like to use an air condition there is also some charge for using safety box located by the reception desk and fridge for the prices of £10 a week for each of them.Receptionist was very angry when we decide to take just an air condition and after that she never said to us hello.We try to keep out of the hotel because of the owner who was always seating on the pool area spending his time to watching guests, it wasn`t very nice.The rest of the staff were friendly but this was sometimes tiring.We did join one event at the hotel this was a Turkish Night and it was very boring and second thing the food was served as a very small portions.You have to know the rooms had very basic standard,after invitation meeting with our rep William we tried to changed our room or to at least get a Tv and kettle we were ready to paid any charges for it,but he didn`t react.The hotel owner liked to surprised his guests with a preposterous ideas like for example because of people who do not like it to spend they money in his bar/restaurant one day he displayed board in the front of the hotel with ban of bringing any food or drinks from outside to the hotel rooms.Breakfast was the same every day,towels and bed linen been changed once a week.Hotel maid just taken rubbish and made bed.Except our hotel We have spend wonderful holiday.The location is great witch close to shops and bars,and of course to lovely beach.We have been seeing many atractiv places:one of the closest and very interesting is ancient city of Ephesus,we also been to Dalyan visited the turtle beach,and we took mud bath,there are also very amazing ancient tombs made on the side of mount.But this is not all in Altinkum area is many more ancient places to see.Turkey is the great place for spending holiday only if you`re not gonna choose Atac hotel.
