Hi there all,
Any furthur updates on this topic ?
I emailed First Choice and was told mini bar was payable locally - however I suspect that they just checked their brochure listing.
Have emailed hotel via web site (which incidentally has some fab pics) but not heard anything yeat so would be grateful for any info.
Cheers

Hi there Markstreet,
Just been looking on First Choice website and have just noticed that mini bar appears to now be included in the AI cost (that is there is no asterisk to denote payable locally anyway).
Fabulouuuuus eh ?
Glad I booked when I did though cos it has gone up by £380 (per couple)
Enjoy your hols

The mini bar in Corcorde is free.We have been twice this year so we know.Going again in 6 weeks so if any changes have occured I will post.As we live four K from Concorde and know most of the waiters we generally find out what is going on.Don't worry and enjoy your holiday in a super hotel.

liana you mention not taking any towels so do you get pool towels and beach towels and clean bath towels every day
Reply
Yes you get them every day :) there is a little hut near the pool and you swap them and the maid gives you as many as you want.

You get water, fruit juice, larger, cola ( if you want diet instead just ring reception and they will give you diet) and choclate some days in the mini fridge every day.

Hi

Can anyone tell me about the Concorde deluxe in Antalya.
Im travelling there with my husband and small boy aged 7 in just under 2 weeks

Id like to know anything about dress codes at meal times
My husband like to wear smart shorts, and chino's are these ok to wear in the evening
and for my little boy he enjoys shorts and croc shoes or trainers
are these ok to wear

Has anyone experienced the food at the hotel
Any info on the hotel would be great
Love to hear from anyone

Hi Denise, We have stayed at the Concorde and had a great holiday - it's one of the best AI hotels in Antalya - a true 5*. If you put Concorde in the search facility at the top of this board you will get loads of info. (make sure you put to search in the Turkey forum as there is another Concorde hotel in Egypt)
Smart shorts are OK for evening meal, but there is someone checking on the door and they will turn you away if you are wearing swim shorts. Your little boy will be OK in anything.
The food is excellent, there are several theme nights per week and there are also A la Carte restaurants that are very good too! Free room service too, between 11pm and 7am!
Beach party night is great fun (Friday night I think) the fireworks are excellent. Free 10 pin bowling too - your son will love it!
It's right on the beach and it's a good beach too!
There is not a lot to do outside the hotel except for several shopping bazaars, but if you get the chance go on a trip to Antalya city, there is /was a courtesy bus from the hotel and it is well worth a day out there. Loads of other trips too but there is plenty going on in the hotel, if you don't want to venture out.
Have a great time! You will LOVE it!

We have booked for the Concorde for 2010, for the past two years we have stayed at the Barut Lara. Most subjects seem to have been covered as regards the Concorde, but can I ask another question of those people who have stopped there.
Is there waiter service at the various bars there? I have not seen any mention of it in any reviews. Thanks for your help. :cheers

Hi Markers.Yes you get waiter service athough sporadic.We have just come back after my 60th Birthday and it was a disaster.Four parties out of six were sent next door to Limak Lara as no room at Concorde.Not what I wanted or paid for.Full of Brits and most having arguments.First time ever that I have had a problem at Concorde.The people in our party also said that they could not get a sunbed.Quite bad really and again not what I expect as we go 4 or 5 times a year.Otherwise very good and excellent rooms and food.

Hi everybody !
Have booked Concorde for end Sept this year. Could anyone advise re dress code (especially for men) in the evenings at this hotel ?
My hubby is not a shorts at night man - usually casual (comfy - expanding waistband) trousers and top - does he need shirts or will smart top (e.g polo shirt) be okay.

Thanks
Paula
