funfair only open at night but it is worth the wait.Sea very safe, quite shallow for about 10 metres out but gets a bit choppy late afternoon (dont go kayaking then). We tried to book again for next year but t cook want extra £500 Superb hotel, you can't fail to enjoy it

hi,

well see you there then, we too are going july 08, arriving on 8th july for 2 weeks.

went to the titanic this year and beach is great,sea lovely and warm.

by the way,if this hotel is going to be better than titanic,then kids will love it.
our girls are 12 and 8 and it was our best holiday ever.

I asked if anyone had heard of a show called the Talk of the Town a few days ago, since then have found the brochure it was in which is Thompson turkey destination, page 81 Mediterranean Coast, it comes under "highlights" and it says "A hilarious evening full of glitz and glamour as the Playgiirls with their frocks feathers spangles and bangles put on a show for you. It spans the last 30 years everything from Abba to Madonna" BUT it doesnt say where it is, any ideas anyone?

Thanks for all your replys. Sallington, you will be there a few days before us, we fly out from East Midlands with Thomas Cook on Sun 13th July ! We have been to Turkey a few years ago staying at Club Letoonia in Fethiye, the surroundings were stunning, is it the same around Lara Beach ?

Thanks

Tina

hi tina,

no looking at club letoonia and having spoke to someone at our hotel that had stayed there before then you will find outside the hotel there is nothing,but believe me that with everything that the hotel will have,then it wont be a problem.

at the titanic,apart from a couple of trips ( which i think going a/i you like to get out and about even if its for 1 day ) then its not needed to go out side your hotel.

the lady we spoke to said club letoonia was good and they loved it there,but when i asked her to compare she said they were different.

that doesnt mean any were vnot as good ,just different!!!!!!

hope this helps.....and hey,at least we no we wont be the only english ones,especially as our kids are of similar age

I have been to both the Letoonia and Delphin and the Delphin Palace is much superior to the Letoonia minus the stunning views. We loved the letoonia but would not return having sampled the delights of three 5 star hotels in Lara. The views of the mountains and the lovely sandy beach at lara and the quality of accomadation suit us fine.
We found the letoonia rooms basic but clean but in the heat the steps were a killer and the beaches were small and crowded. Your kids will love the slides and the amusement park and you will not have to worry about them being kept amused with the bowling alley and games room ( all chargeable ) is great and even has a bar in there and the cinema is next door. We only have one son but keeping an eye on him at the letoonia proved a task because it is so sprawling.
The room service from midnight is great, they have a small menu to choose from and beer wine and soft drinks and hot ones. You can get ice cream for most of the day and the food is superb. There is even a man who tours the pool with a trolley with soft drinks, bottled beer , water and wine etc
We found that getting a decent drink at the letoonia proved difficult has they hid all the decent branded ones and at the delphin you have a great choice in the lobby bar.
Regards violet

sallington

have left my review could have gone on forever about this hotel but left it short and sweet anyone wanting anymore information or pictures please message me you will not be dissapointed by this hotel
we are going back but wont be till 2009 as was looking for whit next year but want 2 weeks so would have to be late july early to mid august and as i have already booked next years to club kadikale in turkey for a week. So as soon as 2009 brochurs out I will be first in line for the delphin palace.

Hi June,
Read your review, sounds like you had a fab time!
we are off on 14/9 for 2 weeks, can't wait! Did you use the a la carte's at all? just wondered if you had any probs booking them.?
And was the evening shows ok? s
read somewhere they weren't very good!

Thanks

Emma

we didnt use the speciality restaurants but they are easy to book by phone from your room instructions are provided in your room. Also there is a channel on the tv that shows all the evening entertaiment on the TV so if you`ve not got a sea view room or dont want to go and watch the evening entertaiment in the pool arena or amiptheatre you can watch in your room.
We enjoyed the evening entertaiment while we was there. However the Duo in the lobby bar is something to be missed however the lobby bar is a nice area to sit and relax with a drink or 2 or maybe even 3 . But it is a great hotel it has the WOW factor.

You must have been there at the same time as us June. May have spoken and not known who you were.
Totally agree with you the hotel is top class. Cleanliness, friendliness, food, facilities all 5 star.
Only downside to our holiday were the flight delays with Thomas Cook.
nearly 5 hour delay going out from Birmingham and 2 hour delay coming back. No announcements at Birmingham, no apologies and no food vouchers only a free drink on the flight.
Still when we got there it was well worth it.

we flew from manchester with first chocie we had 2 hour delay going out someone pushed the emergency stop button on baggage belt but according to pilot they didnt know which one or where abouts in baggage it had been pressed . pilot wasnt too pleased. But other than that there was no probs at all
it is a great hotel and will be going back mid august 2009 for 2 weeks this time one week isnt enough there

I agree June we wish we had been there for 2 weeks even though the extreme heat started to get to me from Last Thursday onwards.

Did you watch any shows in the amphitheatre. If you saw one where members of the audience joined and there was a doctor, undertaker, baby, etc. my son was the "baby" (he is 31).

We were there from 26th August until 2nd September and I am sure we must have seen you or spoken.

yeah we watched the shows in ampitheater and pool side. My hubby walks with sticks so you may have seen us around . It did get rather hot as the week went on. We ususally had hour in games room in the morning playing pool with my daughters, son and step daughter then they had hour in games room playing bowling and on comp and playstation at night before we went to watch shows and kids to have popcorn and candy floss. MMM i say kids they 17,15,15 all girls and 9 boy, dont think the 17 year like being called a kid lol. We had a great time and anyone whos yet to go will enjoy themselves. Aslo got some great pics of hotel

Oh its not fair, i have got to wait until next August till we go to the Delphin Palace. We have got an american holiday next Easter, but its not lying around in the sun and just being spoilt. Its charging around theme parks.
I find myself wishing my life away between holidays. I love my two weeks a year relaxing in the sun. The Delphin Palace looks fab. How am i going to top it the year after 09. I may just have to book again!

I've got my mum and dad to book here for a week due to all the excellent feedback and reviews. They go in October so I'll let you know how they get on
