I have booked through On the Beach for 1 week all inclusive from 27/10 to 3/11.( October half term) I am a bit worried when reading that the hotel is closing in October and have tried to contact On the Beach to clarify if the booking is still valid.

Does anyone have any information if the hotel will be open or clsed at this time?

thanks

Has anyone rebooked for this year, i will, just leaving it a little longer yet.

On a few websites it lists it as opening in june 09, Why is that?,
and have any alterations been made since last year?

Honestly its great,
ive stayed in anything from 1 to 5 stars,
im not saying its the burj al arab, but divide 1400 by 5 and you will wonder how they make money.

we went for 1 week last year now we are going for 2 so you can make your own mind up

We are a family of four. We have just booked with Sun Wings direct staying 2 weeks from
august 2nd paid £2976 for two twin rooms children being 15 and 13 classed as adults.
It all looks lovely and we are excited about going. This is our third time to Turkey but never been this side before.
Getting back to the price if you price this on First Choice it comes up at £5400 if you can believe that flying the next day from Gatwick. I had it all checked out by an Independent travel agent and she couldn't touch the price from Sun wings. Have sent for their holiday brochere so will give it a good look over. Lots of info on trip advisor about the hotel. Gets good reviews.

we have not long come back from palm wings and had a lovely time,was about 33degrees which was hot enough for me,pool was very nice but still found it very slippery around it,so be careful!!complex all looked very clean and the staff were friendly, loved the food in main restaurant & snack bar, i like to have a bash at anything... eveing entertainment i'de say 5 outer 10 wernt much cop,would recommend on a thurs nite to go to big ben restaurant,we had to book it(its along sea front)we had a fab meal and entertainment was good,was a fun enjoyable eve,they also pick you up and drop you off!!what would should take you 20 mins to walk down to town,prob will take an hour after been stopped by all the touting for customers,we came back with a bag full of menu's,they work on commission and earn very little,so can understand why,but still,be prepared for a bit of hassle walking down...the guys had a turkish shave,which they really enjoyed,i had the manicure whilst waiting,would recommend that to..when you get to palm wings after the 90 mins transfer,we in the end found our own way to room,1 bel boy for whole coach!!was a bit dissapointed at that,we were all so tired and erritable,just wanted to put me head down..found fags cheaper to buy on plane £29 for 400 B&H and £35 for 400 superkings,limit is 200 each adult,i did take a little over ;-) exchange rate was much better out there to than what we got here,is a chance you take..oh and lacoste polo shirts,all colours, 4 for £10,although they are snides,they are really nice,got loads,sizes do come up smaller..we enjoyed the boat trip to market,i guess what made it was seeing the wild dolphins along the way,that was fantastic...i hope this will be of use to anyone going there,am sure you will all have a lovely time at palm wings..

we stayed in a semi detatched kinda villa looking bungalow,which pritty much they all were..with 1 room with double bed,and the lounge had 2 settee's which folded down into 2 wide single beds,the girls thought they were comfortable,as we had 3 older kids,my son had to sleep in a put you up bed which was'nt so comfortable,i did actually think when i booked that we would have 2 bedrooms 1 having 3 singles and a living area,but it was'nt!!we managed ok though.. sorry no,we didnt see or use the alacarte,there was an indoor pool somewhere to,didnt see that either,weird to say,we didnt walk all around the complex..

We fly on the 4th June from Doncaster paid £1335 for two of us all/inc, booked it end of May.
It looks ok in the pics, and from reviews i have read here and on other sites it seem ok.

At these prices we dont expect fillet steak and strawberrys any meal and certainly not bacon as its a muslim country.

There have been a couple of new entries on Trip advisor which are a great help with lots of infomation. According to one person you do get bacon and eggs at late breakfast with no complaints at all about the food. Also they sound like they stayed in the hotel, sounds nice. Can anyone tell me about the tickets you get for Sun wings, do you just collect these at the booking in desk at the airport when you arrive?

Hi, we went to Kusadasi (Hotel Fantasia) last year with Sunwings - you don't get a ticket you just take your invoice to the airport, a bit scary I know, I felt very nervous about it but it was absolutely fine!
Reply
Can anyone tell me if you get pool/beach towels provided at the Palm Wings - last year we stayed at the Fantasia in Kusadasi with Sunwings and clean towels were provided every day! I don't want to go taking towels if I don't need to!

Thanks
