Hi Bluepeter. It might be an idea to post a review about your holiday to let others know you were impressed. You've posted in the "Bad All Inclusive" thread.

What do they say about one man's poison?

You'll find everyone has different experiences on their holidays, this is the idea to pass on your thoughts and then people can make up their own minds.

I don't think the hotels that have been given bad reviews by some need defending :roll:

I am pleased that you had a good holiday there bluepeter :)

After reading some of these stories all I can say is I have been very lucky in the holidays we have had.
I would have been devastated after working hard all year long to have a holiday ruined like this

a lot of the food was served not cooked properly,ie chicken raw in the centre, we had live maggots in our peaches, i had onion skins in my strawberries, cockroaches in the restaurant, ants and flying ants in the salad, cockery etc running out, it was a disgrace


Ellie-meg I hope you got some money back from the travel company.

Atlantis Hotel, Belek.

-Destroyed luggage (Thomas Cook, not the Hotel)

-Needle sticking out of the carpet by youngest daughters bed and bed side draws full of rubbish when we arrived.

-Sounds of a saw-mill and hammering at 7:30-9:30am from the room above first morning (we arrived at 5:30 and could have done with some sleep...)

-Room service frequently did not arrive, probably due to Hotel staff's lack of English ("2 coffees to Room Three Three Oh Two please", "Two cup or one?", "Two please.", "Err, Sorry, what room?", "Three Three Oh Two please", "Three Three One Two, yes?", "No, Three Three Zero Two..", "Ah, Three Three Two Two..", "ARRGHH!!")

-Complaints to Rep met with change in attitude, false concern, promise to resolve the situation and get back to us - which never happened. When we next track her down her response is "Sorry, got to run, off to one of the other 5 hotels I look after" and never seen again!

-Complaints to Main Reception met with a shrug and couldn't give a monkeys attitude. Generally, staff were rude, ignorant and unhelpful. Rude and ignorant also applies to the majority of the guests, especially at meal times.

-Unclean coffee cups by the various coffee machines throughout the hotel.. multiple ring-marks left by previous users clearly visible on 50-75% off all cups, especially by the Lobby Bar.

-Food does not cater for children (unless chips is your childs staple diet) and the Italian a la carte made me wonder if the Chef even knew where Italy was let alone what it's national dishes were.

-Main Restaurant changed it's evening meal times the first day we were there but neglected to tell anyone or change the various printed material around the hotel until the day we were leaving.

-Transfer back to Airport ends up at the wrong terminal as the rep wasn't there, and neither the bus driver, the passengers, or the Hotel knew which terminal we were supposed to be leaving from.

This list would almost certainly be longer but for the fact we decided the second day that we were not going to spend any more time than was absolutely necessary in the Atlantis and had left the hotel by 10am every day and did not return until 5pm (Side is very nice but has expensive tourist prices, Manavgat is not all the rep claims it is, Antalya is much cheaper with plenty to see.)

In short, the Atlantis is a very bad advert for Turkey, which is a shame as once outside the Hotel the view of the mountains along the Antalya-Side road is stunning and the Turkish people generally very friendly.

Complaints are going to Thomas Cook, the Atlantis Hotel Manager, and the Limak that own the Hotel.

I agree with EmmaB.
We went to the palm court in Malta a few years ago and that would take some beating in the worst all inc contest. No snacks (not till we complained), fire exits blocked, no real good choice of food, bad attitude, 1 drink per person, each person had to get own drink, It has been on holidays from hell tv programme twice that I have seen, may be more. Whilst we were there it was on holidays from heel the first time and some tour companies came and took thier guests away to another hotel. This is the only holiday we have been on that I cant find a good point. Stay away from this dump!!!

Club Green Platan - Marmaris, Turkey.

Described as '5* luxury'; shabby rooms, poorly maintained hotel. Food was awful, crawling with wasps. In a very remote location as well so no way to escape to other restaurants/hotels/bars.

yes i got around half of the money i paid for this holiday to dar khayam tunisia back with the help of ros, didnt even have to go to court as expected, it was a nightmare and im amazed there wasnt an outbreak of food poisoning due to the lack of proper cooking of the food, ie half cooked chicken, 1 person even wrapped the half cooked chicken in a napkin and showed it to the rep, it was soaked in blood and absolutely disgusting, she didnt even look to preturbed by this to my amazement just said she would have a word with the kitchen !!!!

Worst for me has got to be Superclub breezes Punta cana.

Where do I start?????

Food always only lukewarm and usually under cooked
Birds flying in and out of the buffet restaurant and even walking on the tables that had not been cleared pecking at the crumbs.
Trying to get a clean table in the Buffet restaurant at peek time was a nightmare.
One rotary toster that did eight slices max at any one time for Hotel of 735 rooms !!!!!!!!!!!!! Plus the wife ended up with food poisoning along with quiet a few others!!!! :yuck

Swimming pool, dirty smelly scummy water and nothing but dirty glasses and half eaten plates of food laying about the area. Only 75 sunshades for whole hotel!!! if you required one get there at about 6-30 to reserve, and not a German in site.

Rooms very tired and in need of a lick of paint, I know one or two people who had there rooms painted while they were there.

Surly and rude staff, unless you spoke Spanish. very hard to get a drink of an evening.

Evening entertainment that was very Amatuerish to say the least, not good enough for a 4* plus Hotel(joke) was downgraded to 3* while we were there alledgedly.

Still enough bitching Beach was 6* at least, if you were well enough to enjoy it.
