Ide just like to say how pleased I was with the professionalism,of your company.the transfers were on time,and the vehicles you provided,were excellent.when I come to turkey again I will be choosing your company.Thanks once again
We chose Mutlu because of all the good reviews and we were not disappointed.Eylem made us very welcome,we only had breakfast here and it was very good. The room overlooked the sea and the view was fantastic. Beds are very hard but this seems to be normal in Turkey.
We tended to eat out and also used the bar next door,the Hamsi bar,the manager,Bayrun is a bit of a character and we met some nice people here.
We booked through Koral Travel,a local Turkish company and the they provided good value airport transfers.We also booked 3 trips with them and although they were fine perhaps we could have got better value if we had looked around.
2 restaurants which we liked were Bella Mamas and if you like to see local culture try Ametist,across from the Bombay,good food and when we were there good live turkish music. Turkey is still good value for money.
This resort is excellent and I`m sure you`ve read the other reviews that confirm this. The steps up to the rooms may be a problem for some people, the shuttleboat is expensive and never seemed to leave at the times specified, but these are minor gripes. The staff are friendly, the food is generally very good, we ate at all the A La Carte restaurants and would recommend you try them. The swimming pools are clean the beaches are beautiful as are the grounds of the hotel with the flowers and trees. We booked with Koral Travel, a Turkish Travel Agents over the internet and got a very cheap deal, the same week on Thompson was £130 more. than we paid. Overall, I would recommend this resort for families of all ages and couples.
Best Advice:
I recommend this hotel for Young singles, A romantic getaway, Girlfriend getaway, Great pool scene, Families with young children, Families with teenagers
Hilton Dalaman beautiful hotel but diabolical service
We were very excited to be staying here after reading all the positive reviews. We had booked 5 nights through Turkey beds (koral travel) who offered a very professional service.
Our first 9 days were at olu deniz where we got a private transfer (also through Koral Travel after our original booking with Pegas took 50 TL from us as deposit and didnt show up....thanks Pegas i dont think)
We can all see from the pictures how beautiful this large hotel is, i dont need to waffle on about how stunning the pools and the guest rooms are (they are fantastic quality fittings comfortable and plush).
The style is amazing and the attention to design never failed to impress me.... but looking pretty isnt everything....maybe the hilton dalaman want to chew on this thought, when they pay four perfect specimens of the female form to just stand and greet guests at dinner time, when in the restaurant the staff are decending into chaos!!!! I am sure most guests would prefer to be served a drink and have a table to sit at instead of this eye candy every evening!
This hotel has many problems and i am going to moan about the ones we encountered.
Room wasnt ready when we arrived even though we were after the 2pm check in time. it took a couple of attempts to get our daughters cot brought to the room.
Many (~not all )staff at reception unfriendly and blank faced.
An all inclusive with menus of things that you can and cant order? We booked ultra all inclusive and that made not a jot of difference.
The drinks selection was diabolical. They should be ashamed of the cocktail menu, and the people making them hadnt a clue. We arent even big drinkers, but enjoy a nice cocktail on holiday, these were the worst we had sampled. Wrong ingredients, cheap ingredients. very disappointing. My friend ordered "archers" and was given a peach cordial drink?!
After a day or 2 we began to arrive for our meals in the main sarigerme restaurant with some trepidation, the seating arrangments were very odd. Some of the booths werent wide enough to seat the amount of tables in them. so getting bashed by someones chair was the norm. or having to get up to let someone through during your meal. And that was if you could actually find a free table, or one that was not piled up with plates that never seemed to get cleared.
Instant help yourself coffee and no clean cups to pour it into? 5* hotel with make your own instant granulated coffee?? My husband spoke to the restaurant manager about this and he agreed it wasnt right!
It was a talent the way the restaurant staff managed to avoid your eye contact and to totally ignore you and carry on doing something else when you had asked for a drink for the 3rd time! Never have we witnessed this skill in a hotel restaurant before. To get a drink during your meal was a bonus.
Our 2 year old daughter was never given cutlery or a drinking glass at the table, she might have been invisible for all we know!
The sunbeds were well and truly reserved by 9.00am find one and you were lucky,
Not enough bars and toilets dotted around.
The beach area seems overlooked by the designers to me. No bar on the beach. The sunbeds set way back from the sea. the pier was lovely but not big enough for the amount of guests who would have wanted to use it. Sand was coarse but de-pebbled we think so nicer for waking on. sea quite rough and shelving from the sand.
A maid broke a glass bottle in our room on our last full day, this was not cleaned up properly and i stood on some getting out of the shower as it was stuck into the carpet. On looking closer we saw quite a few larger chunks of glass in the corner of the room and my husband cut his hand clearing some of it away before our 2 year old trod in it,
The manager came up and apologised and arranged for the cleaners to steam clean the room. He arranged for a fruit plate and bottle of wine to be left in our room when we came in later. I am just glad it was me the glass stuck into and not our daughter!
It wasnt all bad, as i said the surroundings are gorgeous and we could quite happily spend the day around the pools and just wandering around. The outdoor lunch restaurant was good and we had better service there. The childrens area was fantastic and the earlier 6-7pm buffet perfect for tired little ones. The lady making the pancakes by the beach was the nicest member of staff by miles, friendly and smiling. I think she should be promoted!
The shows that we saw were good, they might want to rethink the seating arrangments in the ampitheatre though, to sit on wooden benches if you arent lucky enough to get a sofa isnt the best or the comfiest. Maybe some cushions or bean bags would be a good idea to save everyones derriers!?
The gym was very good too my hubby was more than happy with the equipment and he loved the roman baths too.
There needs to be more staff training and more staff empolyed if this hotel is going to keep its top spot on trip advisor. The only reason we would ever go back is for the lovely room with its amazing bathroom and views, and the pools. but we are sure we can find that elsewhere but with good friendly service too.
We had absolutely no problems with our transfer from the airport our driver was there with our name on a card to pick us up and we were on the road in no time. The return transfer was equally easy the driver was bang on time at 5 in the morning and got us to the airport in good time. I would not hesitate to use Koral Travel in the future.

Overall a very good Holiday at Green Forest with Koral Travel
Location perfect, quiet and only 5 mins walk yo shops. Food excellent. room adequate. shower room and balcony a little small. would have liked towel rail on balcony for drying towels. I felt it looked untidy of an evening with towels hanging on roof of top floors. staff extremely helpful and friendly. overall a very good holiday. Next time fpr a week would insist on bigger room on lower floor. Transfer on arriving at dalaman at 1:30 am not available. very disappointing. we were told someone would be there with our name on a board - No one was !! had to sort out our own, arrived at hotel 4:30 am. not a good start (with travel hoppa)(paid extra money for private transfer on our return journey)
Best Advice:
Dogs at green forest hotel require fresh water and fresh food each day. one dog had no shelter. this needs addressing.
Myself and Jan would like to say a massive thank you for all the hardwork you and your team put into making our wedding the most amazing day we have ever had.
It exceeded all expectations that we had for it and we loved every minute of the day aswell as the holiday.
We appreciate all your hardwork and extra special touches that you made happen for us.
We could not have asked for anymore than we received from you.
Once again THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH.

Having recently returned from my holiday in Turkey
Hi Mr Malli,
Having recently returned from my holiday in Turkey, after booking the Grand Pasa Hotel through your website, I must write to thank you for your service and let you know that we all had a wonderful time at the Hotel. The rooms were excellent, very clean and all staff were extremely pleasant. I would have no hesitation in recommending this hotel to friends. Also would be pleased if you could let me know of any special offers you have for this hotel in future.
Thank you once again for your service.
Lorraine McLelland.
Dear Ahu
Thank you so much for looking after us on our small holiday this week.
I want to also say a very big THANK YOU for the transfer back to Dalaman yesterday, it was fantastic, very comfortable and a very good driver, Sam was very, very happy.
We will see you again in July when hopefully the sun will shine! Back here in England today it is very HOT and SUNNY, and we will be having a BBQ in the garden tonight.
Again, thank you so much for everything and we will see you again soon.
Best regards
Caroline, Michael & Sam x
Really enjoyed our holiday here. The hotel is only a 5 minute walk to the main beach Belcekiz and 10 minutes to Olu Deniz Blue Lagoon, National Park. Pool is a great size and perfect for cooling off, and there are plenty of sunloungers around the pool.

Koral are the best transfer service that we have used so far on time and very efficient will use again.
We have just returned from Flamingo Hotel and all we can say is it was a very strange experience. When we arrived we were allocated our rooms. We travelled with my husbands mum and so had booked two rooms. We were taken to two rooms situated underneath the pool. Rooms 30 and 31. These were like rabbit hutches with no balcony and all overgrown pathways, the bathroom was a sink, wc and a shower fixed to the wall with bedding and curtains more befitting to butlins in the 50`s. also with a small window. We complained, as all other areas had lovely rooms with wonderful balconies. The Manager said he used to use these rooms himself when working. I pointed out we were not staff but on holiday, we had to stay in the room overnight and was allocated new rooms the next day, albeit we had to wait untill 3.00 the next day, hanging around without unpacking our cases. There was no entertainment as such but the bar remained open until 2.00 or 3.00a.m. the music and noise made sleeping impossible, if you did manage to fall asleep for a couple of hours you were woken by the crowing of the cockerals from 4.00am onwards and then the mosque started calling from 5.00 onwards. If you are wanting a restful peaceful holiday then this is certainly not for you. The food left an awful lot to be desired. Breakfast consisted of one cereal, toast jam, boiled egg and of course the usual ham, cheese tomatoes etc. The evening meal was appalling. Spaghetti, rice, stew or chicken. Mushroom or tomato soup and one desert. If you have children I think you would find it very difficult to find something for them to eat. Alternatively you could book a meal for the evening but you had to pay extra for this, usually between 30 and 70 tl. Despite all the above I must say that the hotel itself is a very pleasant hotel, the rooms, other than the ones that we were first offered, are spacious and very clean and the staff are very very friendly. Take care when staying at this hotel as you are not allowed to take any food or drink into the hotel, and most guests were sneaking things in and hiding it in there room. This has been our worst holiday so far but saying that Olu Deniz and Hissonaru are beautiful and we would go back there. Two members of staff that stood out and was very attentive are Mustafa and Jimmy, and they made our holiday more pleasant than it could have been.
Pelin Hotel is very nice. Foods and location are excellent. We Missed the intro meeting unfortunately but met our rep later and he has been very helpful resalving issue with our return transfer sorry we mıssed him earlier.Many thanks
1st time in turkey but what a welcome from our rep who explained everything and made it easy ?have a pat on the back ?thanks. Hotel is excellent and we will come back again.
First visit to turkey.hotel is excellent and staff very friendly .only had less than one day here so far.but everything is very clean and relaxing.transfer was good and our rep has been most helpful with suggeshious on trips.
Have no complaints what so ever.would recomended to anyone.enjoyed the boat trip,company excellent,crew very friendly a meal super resort very clean.our koral rep very helpful and friendly thanks for a lovely time
First visit to Marmaris and will visit again.koral travel offored a first class servise.staff at hotel very friendly our rep the best.look forward to comeing back.
Very pleasantly surprised. Modern, clean and spacious. Service was first class, staff very helpful and friendly, we were half board and was a good choice. Works out so much cheaper. Always something for everyone and i am very fussy!
I`m very happy with your service. Hotel was nice and your transfer service is provided by resonable price. My agency staff (sorry I can`t remember his name) he was very kind. If I came here again, I will definately take his consulting.
It was very bad I didn`t use your paragliding, boat trip, ets. I didn`t know you also serve that kind of service. My trip was 3 days, it is short. So if your staff came earlier or let me know all about your service by e-mail when I reserve the hotel and how much should I pay for it, I could compare with other company and pick your agency.

We have just returned from our fantastic holiday in Kalkan Patara Prince Resort Hotel. We stayed at Double Room at hotel section. Room has a nice view !
Best Advice:
We had a rent car for our during stay at hotel which we picked up at Dalaman Airport.
The Villa was beautiful with lovely grounds and pool and sun beds. It is in the complex of Orka so nice and quite when you eventually want to get your head down.
turkey turunc hotel is at perfect location. Very picturesque and the view of the sea from the hotel room was breathtaking.
We will definately go again.
We had one of the villas at the complex and it was one of the best accomodation we`ve stayed in. We had 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms and living area/kitchen, so very spacious, and great for larger families. It was also a good distance from the bar area so quiet at night.
We stayed in hotel section of Patara Prince Resort Hotel. We had one of the best holidays we`ve ever had in Turkey. The resort itself was quite unique in our experience, it had a wow factor we`ve never really felt before. Hard to describe really but the architecture, layout and gardens are so lovely, lots of great views, lovely paths and terraces and fantastic pools....

Yemek konusunda kalite çok iyi değildi. Özellikle kebap restoranındaki kebapların kalitesi çok düşüktü. Plajları çok güzeldi. Animasyonları da orta kalitedeydi. Koral Travel tarafından karşılama ve uğurlama iyiydi. Temizlik konusunda oda hariç sıkıntı vardı.
Alize Hotel is excellent and never been in a hotel with this standart of cleanlines. Polite staff, friendly and very helpfully. The only shame is ice cream not in all inclusive.

Fantastic service from Koral and the Hotel Jade. The staff were all friendly and really looked after us. The food was lovely and the room was always spotlessly clean. We will definately come back.

You should definately try Help Beach Lounge for your meals...
My husband and I spent a glorious week at this lovely, quiet, boutiqu hotel. The location, food and friendly service was more than outstanding. We especially loved the meals during night overlooking the sea. Lovely Hotel with excellent staff and management. Breakfasts are delightful with a view over the sea. The beach area is very secluded and the bathing warm and safe. A lovely place to chill.
Thank you for your kindness during our stay at Delta Hotel in Calıs. Especially for Tuncay ! He did his best to feel us at home. Your Advice was invaluable and added to the pleasure of our holiday. We really appreciated the book and enjoyed the photographs of the area.

I have just returned from a lovely holiday in Turkey ,staying in Fethiye,and it was made more enjoyable and friendly when meeting your rep- Tuncay who looked after us,and took us on a day out sightseeing in one of your cars. It was like having another friend with us, although he was very professional at all times- an asset to your company- I thought you might like to have the feed back, I enclose photo,s of our day out, with myself and my friend.
