i havent been but my friends went last year and stayed at sun city whilst we stopped at lykia and they really enjoyed it, said food was good, private beach lovely with free bus to it , kids were really happy there, its in a great location ,olu deniz is 1 of my favourite places in turkey,so im sure you will have a great time, i know theres a few members that have stayed here and it has got good reviews

I haven't stayed here but was at the belcekiz beach next door. It looks lovely, location is spot on and Olu deniz is a great resort , right on your doorstep so you can get out and explore. I am sure you will like it.

I stayed here the last week in May-Its a good standard all inc , excellent location , good staff (bar staff can be a littleslow) , great food and wine on tap.

We found it very relaxing , only problem was the early morning rise forsunbeds and this can only get worse.
There is a nice adults only pool with bar tucked away.

ok thanx everyone for ur help im sure we'll have a great time

*Edit please do not post in phone text Briar

xamyx please let me know everything when you get back as we go 21.8.06 for 2 weeks am especially worried about size of the rooms am going with partner and 2 boys age 12(big lad) and 7 yr old who can't sit still for more than five minutes. have a good time hope to hear all about it when you get back!!

ok then i will do, we go 2moro night at half 10 so i will let u know

xamyx, the club sun city is on my short list for 2007, partly because i think the schools are going to refuse to authorise term time holiday next year and this hotel doesn't have as big a price difference from early july to late july as some do. i would be glad to hear your views when you get back. we are a family of 6, 2 girls who will both be 15 and boys who will be 11 and 9. one thing i would be interested in is whether you think that the girls would be safe enough in olu deniz on their own during daytime and early evening, as they do like to wander around as much as possible on holiday.

Hi Viv
I was in Olu deniz last year and returning in just over 2 weeks!! My daughters went off to the shops and to buy giant slushs on a few occasions with no problems at all. I only let them go during the day (aged12&9)but from what I saw Olu is safe with the usual precautions and sense in the evenings as well . I certainly felt it was a very family orientated resort.

Off to the Sun City in 3 weeks and 5 days Tickets arrived this morning, so it really feels like we're on our way now! Not looking forward to Dalaman airport much, but at least the hotel sounds good, and Olu sounds lovely from what I've heard!

We're off on the 7th August. 3 weeks tomorrow . Can't wait. Got the tickets last week and now really excited. Husband says on one site that someone said instead of Sun City it should be called Chav City and our 16yr old dresses in black, plays bass and has long hair ! Because the free child place goes up to 16 then there are bound to be loads of kids there but I'm sure most of them will just be typical teenagers - and I was one once - honest - so i'm not put off by this. I've seen reviews in the past about hotels that I've been to and I wonder if they were in the same place as me - you can't please some people.

We are now counting the days and sleeps


ps does anyone know if we need our own pool towels - do they supply them? Ta .X

HI jilly..we will be there when u are ..off on the 31 of july...hope to see u there....

He will get along fine with my 16 year old, although he doesn't have long hair or play any instruments (apart from his PSP) he will probably have similar tastes in music. Some of my son's friends are in a band, they write their own songs in the style of Nirvana/Green Day kind of music. He dislikes sunshine (although he occasionally enjoys a good splash in the pool - especially water-polo) He is completely embarassed and ashamed of his 'chav' sister (age 13) and they generally go out of their way to avoid each other in public Happy holidays!!!
See you all there in 3½ weeks

ndshelton & cyberspacekadette

3 weeks today for me Then goodbye Manchester airport and hello Club Sun City. (After the long transfer, though ) But all good things come to those who wait.

See you there guys.

see you there jilly xx...nicole

See you all there - we arrive late evening on 10th, so we'll be the pasty white, tired ones looking for sunbeds on the morning of 11th Aug. Been trying to start my 'tan' off in the garden the last few days, but it's so hot here at the moment, and no pool to cool off in. When the kids complain about how hot it is here in Costa del Manchester I just remind them that they'd better get used to it because it's even hotter in Turkey

Hubby & I been playing games ( No! not that kind ) when we've been in the garden we've been saying things like, "the aqua aerobics will be starting soon," "your turn at the bar, I'll have a fizzy water and get a beer for yourself," "they'll be round touting for players for water polo players in a minute." "I'm off for a dip to cool off," Sad or what particularly as you said - there is no pool to cool off.....

My boy's got a face as long as a fiddle as he hates the sun - it's a shame we love it and drag him around Europe's/Asia's hottest spots in August - ah well.

The games sound like fun! I've been tempted to get the kids old paddling pool out, but it's so tiny and I know they won't go in it now - it's 'so not cool'...

My boy's got a face as long as a fiddle as he hates the sun

My lad has been hiding in his 'batcave' all week - he's looking forward to the holiday, but that's just because he's been so bored since he left school a few weeks ago, nothing to look forward to until he starts college in September.
Daughter is just Miss Grumpy - still at school until Friday, too hot in school uniform and just at that delightful age where it's 'so not cool' to get excited about anything
I've been trying to find the energy to sort out my stuff, so I can cram in any necessary shopping before 'madame' finishes school, but it's been so hot, I just can't be bothered. I think I've got everything, but I know I need one last trip for my anti-mozzie shopping list.
Has anyone heard any recent reports about the mozzie situation in Olu? We usually go to the Canaries where mozzies aren't really a problem. Also, does anyone know how good the air-conditioning is in the Sun City bedrooms?

I'm trying to get sorted too. We have the Open on Wirral and my girl is 20 & working there till Sunday but I had to drop her off at Hoylake at 7.30 a.m. Yuk! I don't do early. But it's given me a chance to try and get the house straight before we go away - it will give her an idea of how I want it to look when I get back. If they haven't changed regulations at Sun City then it's just as well my other half is opposite to me and doesn't do lie ins - cos he'll be doing the Sun bed run.....

Does anyone know if they supply pool towels at the hotel?

Cyberspacekadette - what mozzie preps are you taking? I've just got spray, bug plug and garlic tablets
