Golden Crown Paradise Spa (about to be called Golden Parnassus) in Cancun.

The food was ok, very small portions and the hotel was quite dated - we checked out after a week and went elsewhere.

After day 1 at this hotel, my husband became close friends with the toilet. So did I after day 3.............We both still are after 2 weeks and it's not getting any better!

No fridge in any of the rooms, no bottled water, etc.
Very rude and unhelpful reception staff.

The complaints go on and on....................

Never done an all inclusive before and after reading all these posts am getting quite nervous about my booked holiday in July.

Going to the Baia Bodrum Hotel AI and wondered if anyone had any reviews on it.

Thanks

Hotel seems a little remote from what I have read - not sure I'm gonna like that. Never mind though, there's not a lot I can do about that now its all booked!!

Hi Joolz 123

Can't speak for your hotel, but as for AI, don't worry, we love it. I have to say we aren't big drinkers or anything like that, but it's so relaxing not to have to budget for food and drink. You watch the pennies enough at home without doing it on holiday as well. I don't know if you have children, but with ours it's ideal- they get what they want, when they want it. No having to keep money by the pool etc!! As for being remote, no budgeting for food, means more money for trips out and taxis if need be.

Thats exactly what I'm looking forward to, not having to worry about saying No.

Last year we went to Club La Manga (without my son) and it made me think about staying in a hotel with my son. I kept seeing children going upto the bar and ordering drinks, crisps and ice creams and putting them on their room bill - imagine your shock at the end of the holiday. I know that a small bottle of water cost about 5/6 euro's. This is why we're doing the AI so I don't have to say no to ice-creams, crisps etc - all these little drinks and snacks soon add up.

we went to rhodes 3 years ago self catering with our 2 boys, we spent £2000 and all we got from the boys was "can i have" money for everything, it`s all we get at home so it`s great to go AI, my only problem now is there ages. 12 and 14. why do hotels class people over 12 as an adult?? they cannot drink or do anything else that is for adults but they can charge us adult prices for them.. i think it`s a disgrace and something should be done..wonder if theres a TV program that could approach this subject, sorry i`m off again, AI is more relaxing and you do feel like you`ve had a nice holiday cos if the kids are happy then you don`t have to hear them moan, asking for money all the time etc, which means a good holiday all round

I'm starting to look forward to it now.

It is a con when the charge adult prices for 12 year olds, you're right they can't do proper adult stuff like drinking. I know they probably eat more than a 5/6 year old but its still only chips and burgers!

One in Sidari, Corfu - think it was the Garden Village?

An all inclusive where we only ate and drank once at the hotel in two weeks.

Was it that bad that you couldn't eat there?
