Discussions regarding holidays in Turkey.
I've thought about staying at home and thought about what i's do and being at the hemera is definately a yes... I do want to go and i will but i know from experience last year that it was a lovely holiday but i just missed having someone their.. Spmeone to travel, talk to and share the holiday.. Of course my kids are great but its still hard at times but i know we'll be ok.. Its just being in turkey aswell.. Its supposed to be lovely but just have never been.. looked on the hemera website and yes its beautiful and wouldn't want to change it to anywhere else.. Any more advice or anyone going the same time please reply.. Thanks

Sarah,Although I go on holiday with my husband I always meet new friends on holiday.When I was at the Hemera I met a lovely German lady who was on her own.The animation team there include everyone especially if they know you are on your own.If you join in the daytime activities you will soon make new friends.I would love to be going again this year but its fully booked which shows what a fab hotel it is.

Yes it is fully booked.. we booked last August and all the Apartments had gone.. There were 7 hotel rooms left so i know its a good hotel and looks beautiful... I will definately be going with or without my sister and her family... She hasn't cancelled as yet but i think she will... (The room will be snapped up i'm sure)..... Its not that i cant manage on my own because i can , its just when we booked i was looking forward to it more because i was going with someone else this time so its a bit of a downer really... Would be lovely to meet other people...I hope i will anyway x

Perfume the weather is looking good for next 10 days in the low to mid 70'S. You won't need the coats in the daytime this time.

Hi Perfume

We're not going in March but will be there the same time as you in May.
We fly from Gatwick on 13th May, a couple in our forties leaving the kids at home.

See you there

can anyone tell me about the smoking policy at the hemera? Are there nonsmoking areas...particularly in the restaurant, heard some comment that it was smoky.
Thanks

The restaurant has a separate room for non smokers overlooking the gardens.I think it is shown on the website.The main restaurant is huge ,but when I was there the food was surrounded by smokers!.I could never understand why the smoking area was just next to the food. :que

Thanks...we're off next month. They are quite relaxed about smoking in Turkey, if it's warm we can sit outdoors away from the fug!

I've done it, my holidays paid for........ only 86 days til we go to the Hemera :)
Just had the luggage shop call me and my new suitcases are in, so will be getting them tomorrow, as I ordered them ages ago whilst on a silly price + get one free...... :)
I'm useless at saving money, but I've done it, I've paid for our holiday myself !! Husband didnt think I'd do it :) Yepyyyyyyyyyyy, havent had a holiday to Turkey for a few years, can't wait in case you hadnt guessed.

Now it's clothes to buy and we're done.

Would love to hear everyone's experiences of the stay, on their return.

Just got back yesterday morning - had a fab week, mixed weather, windy and cloudy some days... hotel was getting full of families with children, and some of them were left to run free and get in the way of the shows, were a few near misses. A lot of the animation team have changed and there are some changes in the hotel. The restaurant is mainly no smoking, and in summer the entertainment will be outside and not in the Aquarium bar, where it is hot and smoky. Any questions just ask.

Turgay is still there........ Serkan is going soon, Robbie has left..... and teh firls have changed again. Katerina is still there. They are opening a disco at hotel soon.
Reply
im glad turgay is still there do you mean robin who has left . the manager said last year the disco was finished and should be opened this year but would make the hemera 5 star therefore price rises.
Reply
Yes Robyn (real name Fatih) has left recently. Disco is opening in about 10 days.
