" Do not listen to negative people.. "
Submitted By: italia990It is safe to assume that if you are on the ground floor you will undoubtedly hear noise from the above rooms. I was also on the ground floor and found the noise minimal.
As for youngsters jumping from the bridge, I seen this only once! A member of staff had words with those involved and it ceased.
Sunbeds - I got up at 8am to put my towels down and yes a few were there before me but there were a lot of loungers free even at 8.45-9.00am when I finished breakfast.
As always, someone will complain about something because it is in their nature...
I went on holiday with my little girl. She had an amazing time and used the hotel kids club. The kids club(run by Kirsty) was great - they had games, picnics, face painting etc. The entertainment was second to none, food was great and as I have a fussy little eater I had previously been concerned about the choice of food but when we arrived I was very pleasantly surprised at the range of food available. Children are well catered for.
I have booked the holiday again for August next year and I imagine I will return thereafter.
Advice: Lovely little town, close enough to the beach yet in the cool mountains, good nightlife
Activities: Dalyan mudbaths, Fethiye markets, The Red Lion Bar, Alex's Cocktail Bar(good price meals)

" Asena Village for 2 weeks "
Submitted By: rarimmer" some people must be very hard to please "
Submitted By: sharon456kidswe returned yesterday from the Asena village,there were 4 adults and 7 kids in our party and we had 10 fantastic days,my children really didn't want to come home
i admit our friends room wasn't fantastic but ours was lovely they obviously have'nt got round to revamping them all yet but does it matter you only use them for sleeping in any way
the staff were incredible,so friendly,attentive,enthusiastic,always smiling,they seemed to have a wonderful rappor with each other
yes i agree the sunbed reserving did start early-6.30am,the hotel did say that you shouldnt start till the pool was open at 8am but nobody took any notice and the hotel staff didn't enforce it as they should have but i was glad of it really as it made sure i didnt waste my holiday lieing in bed in the mornings and 7am was a beautiful time of the day to sit out and watch the place come to life
my argument doesnt really lie with the turkish for allowing the sunbed reserving to go on but with the incredibly inconsiderate british who were not satisfied to just put out a few towels but who saw fit to start dragging sunbeds and parasols around at 6.30 am completely disregarding the fact that many people including children were in bed asleep very close by and were being woken by the terrible dragging noise.i could go on forever!!!
Advice: go its a wonderful place for a family holiday and the turkish people are the nicest i have ever met!
Activities: jeep safari-fantastic day out/super value for money

" Happy Holiday "
Submitted By: kilrush07The food was excellent, plenty to choose from, spiced things as well as plainer food with various salads and beautiful breads. Sunday roast was on the menu and the yorkshire puddings were cooked to perfection. The waiters were on hand continuously to take orders for drinks and clear plates leaving no mess for flies!!!
The hotel was not over priced for drinks or food etc. Service was excellent. The team worked extremely long hours and were always happy,energetic and only to happy to help.
The setting for the hotel was wonderful. In the evening we sat on the terraced restaurant surrounded by mountain veiws with a gentle breeze. There was various entertainment nearly every night from belly dancers and acrobatics to staff dances. They always got the audience to join in and have ago.
It is a short walk to the centre of Hisaronu which is bustling with traders and shoppers. I was surprised at the type of goods for sale. Not much authentic Turkish items mostly repros of designer goods. The market was an experience in itself which was held on Mondays.
The beaches in the area were great. You could catch a Dolmus(minibus) to Olu De Niz which was 10mins down the hill for next to nothing. The sand was shingle with beautiful blue sea and watch the paragliders landing from the mountain tops. The Blue Lagoon which is just up the road 5 mins is a conservation sight so you have to pay an entrance fee (not much) I found it more expensive for drinks etc an a bit crowded.
My favourite beach was Sugar beach which is a furhter 10 mins along the road. Can be reach by Taxi outside Asena Village 15 turkish lira. Alternatively you can ring Sugar beach who will pick you up and drop you home again at the end of the day for free. It is lovely and quiet with a bohemiem feel to it. The lake water was like getting into a bath. It was great for children as for 5 turkish lira they can pop in and out all day to play in the childrens area. The food was delicious and the pedeloes great fun. Some afternoons they have entertainment.
We went on the Ephesus and Pummakale trip which was great. If you go Ephesus I recommend you cover up as there is no shade to speak of and the air is very still and extremely hot.
We also had a day trip to Rhodes which was 90 mins from Fetihye on the Hydrofoil. Again I would cover up. As on the Turkish dock the passport control was extremely slow with no shade.
The Dalyan Mud baths was great fun. As well as the drag show Talk of the Town in Hisaronu. Its very funny an not at all as scarey as I thought it was going to be.
I noticed the lack of Health and Safety restrictions in Turkey which was most refreshing. There is a sense of freedom, a very relaxed atmosphere. I was apprehensive before our trip but soon realised my fears were unfounded. The Turkish people are most friendly and non threatening. They seem to like the english and cater for us very well. They are not lecherous at all. They were extremely respectful at all times.
I am looking forward to my next trip to Turkey as soon as possible.
Thank you Arsena Boys.

" excellent "
Submitted By: f.blayneeThe hotel staff are the most lovely people you are ever likely to meet, and cant do enough for you, they work such long hours for very little, but it never shows as they are allways lively and happy. My three daughters were made a real fuss of, and they wernt at all sleezy with my teenager they were very repectful at all times.
The food was perfect every day, with a varied selection every night and allways plenty of fresh fruit and salad to accompany every meal, and on sunday they put on a full english roast, which is far better that most restaurants in England could produce.
I have children that are fussy eaters and there was something to please them every day.
The Hotel it self is set in a beautiful location with mountain backdrops, the rooms are basic but very clean, and the location is perfect no hills to walk up just a straight walk into the local town, if you want to go to the olu deniz ( blue lagoon) beach there are usually taxi's waiting outside the hotel to take you where ever you want to go. (Cheap)
If you go to turkey you must be prepared, the people are very friendly they love children and often cuddle them i have three daughters and i never felt threatend once by this as they mean well.
At the asena hotel the staff were so freindly my girls were all crying when we left and the staff waited an hour with us for our transfer coach to arrive, giving us a lovely farewell hug.
i would definately return to this hotel, the outstanding staff which spring to mind were, Emrah, Sait, Kad, Mustafa, and Bilal, joe, haken, david, and DJ.
there is lots to do once your there, if you go horse riding go direct to the stables which you can walk to from the hotel it is only a two minute walk from asena and is cheaper to go direct, i didnt realise this and booked it in town, but it still only cost £10 per person for a three hour horse ride into the beautiful mountains.
Book your trips with local operators in town, which is only 5 mins from hotel and its cheaper than going through the hotel, we went on boat trips, jeep safaris and Quad safaris, cheap days out but excellent fun, on the boat trips you get to swim in the clear seas, and the jeep safari shows you the real turkey.
we all had the best time ever and will be return next year, love to all at asena xxxxxx
Advice: possibly the friendliest people you will ever meet, while on holiday, very beautiful scenery.
Activities: Horse riding, jeep safari and boat trips.

" Never Again! "
Submitted By: juliepmThis was an open plan affair 1 double bed upstairs and twin beds downstairs.First impressions all looked ok.The wooden window frames and doors were rotten and corroding away the patio door was seized solid the upper balcony railings and staircase railings were loose and rickety. There was evidence of wall sockets over heating and to top it off there were 5 slugs crawling around both the bathroom and bedroom.These became a regular feature. You could see where they had left their trail of slime and excrement over my razor and comb one morning.The room smelt and felt damp and the wind at night whistled under the doors.
I did complain to the rep the next morning and the room was cleaned and left in a better state but this whole episode put us off the whole complex and we went out every day to get out of the complex.
This would not have been acceptable back in the Uk and as some one whose family is in the holiday business and has been for 40 years it was Thomson a down right disgrace!!!!!!
Advice: If you like Blackpool, bling,fake repos and like the programme Benidorm this is the reort for you!
Activities: Pepino's Hisonaru was excellent and the Turks are really freindly people
