all inclusive - why?

have you tried any turkey specialists, this 1 usually does cheaper prices

we did a diy all inclusive to marmaris and saved quite a lot of money it really isnt that difficult to do

To be fair, I dont know. I would hazard the guess that it would be because the boys would be free to do as they pleased in respect of activities and entertainment. I also think the idea of unlimited meals and drinks appeals to them most though.

I tried AI in the past and its not all its cracked up to be. I have tried to convince him that SC or even half board might be better but he is adamant that its what he wants at this time. Who am I to argue

each one to their own i suppose!!

i've too done AI but think marmaris offers so much more than staying in one place eating the same food day after day but like you say with kids its the easy option

hope they find something

(by the way spoke to someone last week who was staying at the kervansary and they didn't like it so don't recommend that one - they were going out for food and drinks )

my advice dont bother heared to many complaints ,,ok you may get a bad meal anywere but at least you know not to go back there.

I know a few years back when group of us from uni all went to Turkey, we booked with Airtours & a couple of them paid child places as at the time they were doing child places up to 19 years old. Might be worth a look.

Personally, I would never consider an AI in Turkey. All of the resorts have plenty of places to eat & drink that will no doubt offer everything they want an more besides. Turkey really isn't the country for AI in my opinion.

We always go A/I in Turkey an other country's

We find that a DIY holiday saves us hundred's and even though we go A/I

We still go out for a meal or two

We have only ever had one poor A/I in Turkey that was the Altin Orfe in Icmeler but that was booking our first time with Goldtrail tour company.

But we have stayed in Club Asteria in Belek its was excellent

Club Pineta Marmaris was good

Emre Beach Marmaris was good

Club Armar Marmaris was good

Sun Club City Olu Deniz was good

We are going to Tuscan Beach Kussadasi in 5 weeks time A/I

Put report on return

Now this hotel does free kids up to 16

Also Sun Club City in Olu Deniz does also.

But each to they own

We have the benefit off both worlds with us doing DIY holidays all the time the money we save not booking via travel agents we can afford to splash out a few times on our holidays and eat and drink out at different places.

All Inclusive holidays in Turkey are great you will always find something to eat just dont expect english breakie etc etc

But 9 times out off 10 the food and drink are good

Ive just returned from Marmaris from a A/I holiday with my 2yr old twin grand daughters and they never went hungry once

Thanks everyone for your advice. I am going to have another go at convincing him that SC is the way to go. I know from experience that it can sometimes work out more in money that way, but I feel that you a) get to experience different foods and restaurants (I think the best bit about going on holiday), b) you are not restricted to meal times and committed to strict regulations with the same boring food all the time(chips with everything ) and c) ... its just better

Thank you once again.

I agree S/C would be better as you get to visit all the really nice places to eat, get to know the local people better, food is so cheap in Turkey compared to hear, and its much more fun and interesting, don't have to wait in line.
But everyone is differnt, we always go DIY cant beat it,get a nice apartment with plenty of space for half the price
