Hi Janet.You can but it is a fair walk, we usually walk down to the main road then get a bus. You can get a cab,but what they do is they take you there and drop you at a shop and you have to return there so to get them to phone the cab com,meanwhile they try to sell you goods, the cab com charge you for the two way journey which you pay on the way back .Far better making your own way there .Hope this helps .

No there are pavements at the side of the road .Like most pavements in Turkey they are not very good , they are made from mono block ,but where they cant get them to fit they just dump a couple of buckets of concrete to fill in the gap .The height of the kerbs are about 12" high and you have to be carefull when stepping on or off them .

Yes we have been in August when the hotel was full but no matter how busy it's been we have never had any problems getting sunbeds .There are always plenty around the pool and there is always the beach with loads more .

Hi All,

My girlfriend and I have just booked up to go here in June. For those who have already stayed at the hotel are there any local shops near by to buy bottled water?

This is the first we are going to be all inclusive, will the drinks from the minibar be included or will the hotel charge us for each beverage taken?

Thanks for your help.

All your bottled water is free ,just go to the lobby bar when you want it .The mini bars in the rooms are filled daily with plain and sparkly water ,fanta and coke .Just fill your boots. :rofl

What happened to the area next to the Sun Zeynap that was going to have bars and restaurants? It was just starting off when we were there a few years ago.

Its mostly finnished now .It was actually the Kadriye council who have developed it for the locals ,there are bars and restaurants ,horse riding ,trampolines ,tennis ,go carts ,big screen tellies and lots more .

Thanks for the reply,

Are the local drinks free 24hrs a day or just till midnight? some travel agents for this hotel have shown it to be till midnight while our booking agents showed it as a 24hr free bar.
Reply
The lobby bar is 24 hr ,the pool bar stops about midnight. You can get a drink as soon as you arrive during the night .

hi all, iv booked to go to the otium hotel zeynep next week, and iv just read that the outdoor pool and a la carte restaurants will be closed as they do not open till may, is this true? do they stick to the dates or will they open it early if weathers nice?
also iv read alot of bad reviews saying since it was taken over by russians the hotel has gone down hill is this true?
thanks
sam.

I think you will find that they are indeed closed at this time of year .I have been to this hotel many times ,before and after the so called russians took over and found it to be the same .Anyway the hotel was only leased to the Otium group for five years and it is due to revert back to the owners very soon .
The actual name of the hotel is the Sun Zeynep.

thankyou for your reply. I apologise if i offended by saying the russians, i was just quoting from reviews i have come across.
