Hi Guys, Im gonna try and answer some of your questions... this place is very nice a beautiful looking hotel, you will all have a great time! There are 2 snack bars directly off the beach and a drinks bar at the edge of the pier ... not much walking there :) Chances are on the last day you will not get a room, it is first come first served at 9am and yes 10 euro per hour. You can shower in the spa and there is a rubbish hairdryer( toilets else where have plug sockets though and games area toilets are always empty ) They have lockers in spa changing rooms, get one first thing on day of departure as they go quick they are safer than the luggage store which was not always locked or attended.
Loved the spa ended each day here i think it closes about 6pm they have turkish baths, indoor pool, sauna, steam room and plunge pool all free without the extras lol ( no sofas here ) Plenty of places to lounge waiting for departure elsewhere though.
Also i took mainly euros last year and wished id taken lira and pounds only, everything on site worked out cheaper in lira ..... though they did love the £10 note lol

Thanks for the tip on the lockers emmaboo, I'll see what facilities there are round the pool and spa area before I contemplate queuing for a late checkout room. I've been told to take euros but what you've said about Lira, I'll just do that, after all they havn't changed over to euro completely yet.
:sun2 :cheers

We've been reading the reviews on TripAdvisor. Most are fantastic. Admittedly there are the odd few that are not so good (ie people moaning about not all facilities open in January?!), but whatever the situation, there are always those who'll find fault. That is just how some people are. In my mind, if the majority of reviews are good ones, then you've nothing to worry about. :)

Well just got back, I'll post a review at the weekend but hotel is everything I was expecting and more, only downside, Air conditioning was inadequate, only on between 6pm and 3am, so was waking around 5pm every morning in a pool of sweat! :tongue

Marie and David,
The hotel prices everything in Euro ( paper shop does lira too) but they take all currencies ( I saw some Russians using theirs and English using £'s)
If your going to Antalya, take Lira.
We booked 2 excursions with First choice, we did go lookingfor somewhere to book in the "resort" but we couldn't find anything I say resort, as it isn't really, just lots of hotels with a few bazaars which all sell the same stuff. there is a chemist across the road by the bazaar if you need anything.
We went on a lazy day cruise, two hours on a bus to Kemer for a five hour cruise!!!!
Side and Manavgat was good, you end up on a boat going down river to a beach for an few hours.
We also booked a boat trip from the pier which we enjoyed more than the FC one as we saw more sites and you got the oportunity to go in a cave and also have a look round Antalya.
The hotel is amazing and they have some really good entertainment on. I was "volunteered" to enter the Miss Kate of the Titanic show ( lots of silliness) and actually won, beating a German, Russian and Turkish girl.
I can recommend Titanic the Musical, The White Night and the Four Seasons Party.
The lager was Efes and was very, very gassy, I could only manage two glasses then felt really bloated.
Have fun.
Cazz

Someone told us that if you were in the lobby bar by reception, you could get wifi access. My son tried several times but failed to connect. There is an internet cafe near the games room which he ended up using but there is a cost, I think it was 2E for 15 minutes, it's charged to your room.

Can anyone tell me what the song is that they play prior to evening entertainment, Just after the three hornblowers. I think it may be a Shakira song but I can't find it any where. There is a boom, bang, bang, in it and a lot of drums. Thanks
