Just saying I have been to this hotel and found it brilliant. The apartments were fine and very clean. The people who worked in the hotel were lovely and made you feel so welcome. Nikki a young english girl who is married to mustafa is so sweet. She works there and will come and talk to you if your sunbathing and always has a smile on her face. Her husband mustafa is also very friendly if not a bit cheeky. All the waiters are really nice. The bar staff are great mimmet is gorgeous and is the bar manager. Ask him to show you his tricks they are very good. Sema also works at the bar a small pretty turkish girl she is also nice but does not speak very good english. Philip a small cheeky bar man is very quiet then all of a sudden you hear this hilarious laugh and it is him. Unfortunatley he is the subject of a lot of practical jokes and once he was chucked in the pool in the early hours poor fella. There is also a photographer who comes and takes your picture and puts it up on a board along with others for you to see if you would like to buy it. He's not pushy at all and the photos are excellent. He charges £2.50 each. Also if you ask him for a photo session he will come at the time you say and take lots of pictures of you and your family and its very reasonable if you wish to purchase a lot. They have a disco wich is just across the road at the side of the pool bar. Its ok but nothing spectacular i found a lot of the waiters went in there to find themselves an english girl. Don't miss the turkish night. Its brilliant its £10 per person and its inclusive of a barbeque buffet. The atmosphere on them nights is really good. They have the belly dancer the turkish traditional dancers and also break dancers which are fantastic. Do not miss the break dancers. There are two pools one you cant miss but one is next to reception through the doors. Its a qiueter pool. If you fancy going to the sea front or the town you will need to take a dolmus number2. Its only round the corner where you get it. I found i took a dolmus with my boyfriend to the beach front and then got a taxi back which was around 3 pounds.
The reps are niceish thats all i'll say thier names are darren who is nice and lauren who thinks shes on holiday with the turkish men and not actually working. Quite comical really. Apli is the head rep and is actually turkish but speaks very good english.
The resteraunt is by the pool bar and is very very good. I highly recommend the ottaman special a mixture of meats in a tomato and mushroom sauce. My boyfriend was very fond of the pizzas they where nice. But if you order carbornara it has chilli in it strange i knoe but i have warned you.
Anyway you will have a brill time its like a little family there and for the first time in turkey found myself staying around my hotel as the atmosphere and staff are brilliant.
hi could you please tell me if you had a safety deposit box and if so where was it, also was the rooms very big and was it a clean place
Hey tam.tam, welcome back. Nice to hear that you guys had a good time!
hi tam.tam i was just wondering if you made your way down to mad boys while at the ilayda,if so is jimmy still working there.if you didnt go down there you missed a great night out also is the ilayda as good and friendly as it looked when we passed it last year.i hope it is as we are booked to go in july
yes they are friendly a great place to stay. I did not go to mad boys sorry so i dont know if jimmy is still there.
When you go later this year if nikki is still there she works all day a young english dark haired girl. Say hi to her from colin and tammy who stayed in may she should remember if not tell her to remind her she borrowed my boyfriends hat that should remind her. Have a nice hol you wont be dissapointed there. I wish i was going back this year. nevermind
Safety deposit boxes are located by the reception you have a key and if you wish to open it you have to ask reception for the master key as they are double locked but dont worry reception is 24 hours
Tam.Tam Pleased to hear that you enjoyed the Ilayda. I stayed there last year and guess what I'm off again on the 22nd of July for two weeks. Malo you'll have no worries it really is a great family complex.
cheers Nelliej coventry
