An excellent hotel with very friendly staff. I had read some reviews questioning the 5 star status, it most definately is 5 star for a holiday hotel, very good food, very clean and an excellent pool. Fehmi one the waiters was typical, they remember you and your family and gave us a warm greeting every time we met. Now this is a holiday hotel, not the same as the Savoy 5 star hotel, which i have stayed at along with others globally. But as a holday hotel i could not fault it, the rooms are being modernized this November, which addresses the one area that other reviews have commented on, the rooms are fine, it is the bath and shower room that does show its age. However, this is only a very minor issue, they are clean and perfectly adequate. The beach is loverly, and there were plenty of loungers. The shopping over the road is a good place to get some real bargins, the polo shirts and football kits are good quality. Transfer time is about 1 hour, depending on how many hotels the coach has to drop off/pickup, 35 mins in a taxi. The buffet has a very big selection, and while a lot is the same every night it also has new items each night that are on a weekly rota, we went for 10 days and never had the same meal durring the stay, the 12 year old grandson always had the chips, and everybody said the mashed potatoe was excellent. But you could do like me and have a different meal. The al a cart resturant is very good value at 20 Euro, by the way take Euros they prefer it to Lira, the food was excellent in the itallian resturant.
