Someone asked a question about hair braiding. Well I would not under any circumstances use the hotel hairdresser. We did and never ever again.

My daughter had just the front of her hair done, which cost £26.31 if it wasn't for going home soon after I wouldn't have done it but I had promised her. I asked earlier in the week how much it would be and she said about £16 but when we went back this price was no longer available allegedly due to changes in the exchange rates!! We also put it on a credit card for which the banks charge extra (debit cards too), so in total it was the above cost.

Within an hour one braid had come out, so I went back to her and she refused at first to redo it as I had put suncream on my daughters face, and some special hair cream over the braids but not on the bands. She had given us a note to inform us that suncream will break the bands, so because she had done this she refused, but not for long as I went mad, and medical staff ended up translating the argument. The hairdresser told me it had fallen out because of the suncream on the face. Of course I explained I hadn't put it on the bands but she said because my daughter had been in the pool and wiped her face the suncream went in her hair. I argued that it was really hot and she needed suncream on her face and would you believe it the doctor turned round and said I shouldn't have put suncream on, so I said I didn't want her to burn, to this he replied that burns are part of the holiday for us British!!!!!!!!!!

I ended up trying to redo them myself and when I got home bought some little bands and changed them all, it then lasted another week but it never looked perfect.

Either get it done before you go or there was one lady in Dalyan who did it, but not sure how much or if any good.

returned yesterday from pp.we had a fantastic 2 weeks.hotel lovely ,book your trips with sarigerme tours and ask for oz.its in town. dont miss the jeep safari ,its great fun. have a few meals out in town,everyone really friendly great food great prices.any questions just ask.not sure about kids clubs though as my boys 12 and 8 so didnt go,,

Hi Samantha - we are hoping to have a couple of meals in town during our 2nd week - where would you recommend (did you take a taxi in to town - can you pay with sterling?)

Does anyone have any contact details for the pegasos palace as the ones i have don't work, need email address and phone number, need to try and book a retrurant and birthday cake for my daughter as birthday is day after we arrive

hi gill g . we walked into town once,but lots of mossies on way so got taxis in.you need 7 liras for taxi which is about 3 pounds. you can use sterling in all the restaurants and shops.we had lovely meals in the dolphin restaurant and paradise restaurants which are on the main street.its a lovely change from the hotel and everyone really friendly.

Already had them and tried unknown email address

samanthar6 - the jeep safari sounds great - definitely on our agenda. Did you do any other trips?

the info on restaurants is useful too - might give them a go one night.

we did the 12 island trip which was a boat trip with lots of swim stops,really good lots of stops to jump and dive off the boat and have a snorkel.we also did the mud baths which the kids loved. my hubby and eldest son also did a scuba dive which they enjoyed.

Thanks samantha - mud baths sound a good laugh might give that a try. 4 days to go !!!

you will have a fab time.watch the mossies though.take lots of repellent and plenty of antihistamine.im off to the drs this morn as bite on my ankle is infected. just returned from doc. now on a weeks supply of antibiotics

Sorry to hear about your ankle samantha - not such a good holiday momento. Still obviously didn't put you off the place. Will be stopping at boots to get more mossie stuff tomorrow.

we bought a plug in from boots which worked to keep mossies out of room,we plugged it in before going out for evening then left it on all night. sinkov the local repellent id say worked the best.buy some when you get to the hotel and then buy a few bottles in town . its only about a pound fifty in town.my hubby and kids got some bites but not hundreds.i think i was just the unlucky one.hubby says i was the only one who scratched them to peices. hes right for once. anyway the whole place makes up for them,its great.

Samanthar6 is right - the place does make up for the downside of the mossies! I've got 9 sleeps to go until our second visit and can't wait!

Boots have got their all their mossie stuff on BOGOF from 4/7-31/7 (sorry off-topic). Glad I hung on as I got it on offer last year too.

To Lynda1972,

Must be going at the same time got 8 sleeps now, fancy meeting for a beer at the bar???

just thought id add for anyone going soon.when we were in sarigerme there wasnt a cashpoint machine there.we usually take some cash then get the rest out of atms but couldnt do that here. luckily we managed to nip into a bank at dalyan when we went on our boat trip otherwise we would have had to get a taxi into ortaca i think its called 15 kms away

We went to PP last year in the beginning of september and i am thinking of booking for this year at the end of september, Can someone tell me if the town ect is still open at this time of year. I know the cash point will have gone, this isnt a problem. Also is the market still on???

Thanks in advance

If you insist

Am now very excited. There doesn't seem to have been many people posting on their return just lately so am taking that as a good sign that the early season teething problems have been ironed out.

linda i can honestly say there were no probems atall with hotel, we returned a week ago, lots of sunbeds, loads of seats at the bars, hardly any queues,spotlessly clean,warm pools which was fab .as you know mossies only gripe.
