You always read bad reviews so I thought it would helpful to give you our comments. This hotel, now known as Innova Hotel, based in a quiet are in Belek is gorgeous. Very spacious, clean and friendly. The hotel has 3 or 4 pool areas for sunbathing with padded sunbeds, and there is no need to 'book' your beds, turn up at anytime of the day and sunbeds were available, despite the hotel being full. The main residents are German and most of the entertainment and anouncements are in German however, do not let this put you off, the staff and other holidaymakers are all friendly and can communicate in English if required.
The hotel caters for families with small kids, up to 10 years old I would say would be fine, there is not too much for the teenagers to do here however. Couples and groups would also find this hotel to their liking. The food at all times is pretty good. Caters for most tastes and plenty of choice. The drink is also not too bad, for all inc, the beer and wine was drinkable at least!! There is a shuttle bus to the their own private beach. The bus leaves every 10 mins and travel is about 5 mins. The beach has it's own bar and restaurant which also forms part of the all inc. The Spa treatments in the hotel are excellent. We had turkish bath, full body massage and facials, which took over 2 hours, for £40 each, so make sure you do it and haggle on price though. The hotel has entertainment most nights and the entertainment team are all excellent and very friendly. They made us feel very welcome and Rebecca (from Scotland) is extremely talented and will assist with any English speaking guests needing assistance, so ask for her. There is also a disco which opens at 12am but to be honest, it was dead most of the time, is a little bit dark and dingy, and is expensive for drink, so don't wait up for the clubbing element in the hotel if you are expecting Pacha!! In the immediate area there are a few golf courses which look pretty impressive should this be of interest. 2 courses are right opposite the hotel. Other than that, there is nothing outside the hotel to encourage a walk, and the nearest village is a tourist trap for local venders being pushy to sell you fake designer labels. Never settle on their first price...they will half the price if asked!!. All in all, the Hotel is more than we were expecting and really has no bad points, other than lack of English speaking residents, which is not really a bad thing I suppose, and if you speak German too, then you will be more than fine. One thing I would say is that the locals and in all the shops and even the hotel, they requested payment in Euros rather than Turkish Lira, as they make more money fromEuros. If you have Lira press them and they will take it but if you prefer and want an easy life, just use Euros. Remember your ENGLISH £10 to get entry into the country...we didn't have one, offered a Scottish £20 which they wouldn't accept, they wouldn't even accept Turkish Lira, so I had to pay via debit card and they took 30 Euro..a scam clearly but other than that, we had a really enjoyable time and would definately go back. We paid £550 each all inc for 10 nights flying from Glasgow in May...a real bargain so if you get a similar deal and think it's too good to be true, it's not..we really recommend this hotel and complex.
