Thanks Anne, I was just wondering.
Black Knight, yer not gonna ruin my positivity! Knowing the way the Turkish are, they'll probably have thrown up at least one bar by now, in fact it wouldn't surprise me if there's a whole load of new premises opened up there. There's no way with all the new hotels opening up in Sarigerme that the locals are going to miss out on a piece of all that business.
Oh well, if its a long dark walk then a taxi will be cheap enough. I'll also be surprised if no-one has bought a mini bus and set up a dolmus business too! If the Turkish see a gap in the market then they're not slow to exploit it.
I'm looking on the bright side, is it rubbing off on you lot yet?

The wavelength club is our main concern as well as we have a ten year old too. Our local FC have now spoken to a few different people at FC customer services and whilst they all say that the wavelength club will be moved over to the Palace, up 'til now they have refused to put this in writing. I totally understand where you are coming from, cause with the hotel being in the middle of nowhere and if there is no kids club for them, how do you keep a 10 yr old amused for 2 weeks?

1 The advertised prices for April 2006 at the Pegasos Palace are incorrect. The correct price will be given at the time of booking.
2 Due to the Holiday Village Pegasos Tropical being closed, guests will not be able to use the facilities of both properties. In addition the non-motorised watersports are not available.

Yes, I've read the information above.
Thought it might be of interest!!!
It is exactly the same on the eclipse website now.

Im glad you are more upbeat about things. When i went last year we went through all of this with things about the place not being open, mossies, cold food, queues etc etc etc.
We went with a pma(positive mental attitude) and had a fantastic time hence the return in May this year.
Lets all go and make it a fantastic holiday!
what is everyone else doing??
How long are these turtles going to be nesting on the beach for ?
the bad opinions and views your reading here was just what we were reading last year and we often wondered if we should cancel ,but we didnt and i,m glad, because its an amazing place, and we didnt have any kids, just the two of us, my main criticism was that there was nowhere to go in the evening, yes you can get a taxi or bus to sarigerme and its cheap and only a couple of minutes away, but like i said theres only a couple of restaurants there, i dont remember a bar, but we only went there during the day, so maybe there was.
the main stumbling block for anyone going before july is the fact that only the palace is open, last year you had the choice of two places of entertainment and usually there was something for everybody, for instance we spent practically every evening at the beach bar on the tropical side, will that be open before july ? i dont know and nor it seems does anyone else.
finally if we had kids up to the age of,say 15 we we wouldnt hesitate to go back, its a kids paradise but i would say to anyone considering going without kids....dont.
you must remember for everyone who comes onto this site with negative reviews,there are hundreds who went there and had the time of there life i,m sure you and your kids are going to have the holiday of a lifetime
I'm a bit confused why the non motorised watersports aren't available, surely if it was to do with the turtles then it should be the motorised watersports they are doing away with!
I saw that a couple of weeks ago on the fc site, i think tottya pointed it out to me.
PMA AND LOTS OF IT!

sorry scottishmum i just read your post again i thought i read i was ruining your positivity, obviously your not going to let me ruin it, and with that attitude you,ll have a ball........honestly
So if they are shuting The Tropical down this means The Palace is going to be near on full, hence problems with ques, sunbeds, booking themed restaurants and kids clubs.
For me that would be a nightmare
scottish mum, really sorry to put an dampener on things when this thread is trying to get upbeat, and so you should it's your holiday after all. The reason there is no non motorised sports on the beach is because the sea is dangerous with strong currents. It's not a safe sea for the kids to swim in. I would not let mine in there when we went and saw a girl of maybe 12 having to be helped out by adults and she was less than maybe 5 yards out.
Barnio, for me personally, i wont be letting me wee fella near the water unsupervised anyway, so still smiling! However, I understand now about the watersports thing, thanks for clarifying that for me.
I wonder if they've removed all the broken glass etc though, because that is one thing that worries me. The sandcastle king will need to build!

I am sorry if i have confused people more with my information
But the way i see things is a few people could end up with no holiday , i was told that no-one could access the beach due to the breeding etc .....
i have put some family pic's of Lykia world 05 up on forum , eventhough its more to stay there and eventhough full board , our hotel bill was only £200 for everything and trips
There r other nice places in Olu deniz area at same price and eclipse did honour y freekids
luv

however in saying that we had a good time there, the weather was hot the room was a good size for two of us and the scenery is terrific, the complex is surrounded on three sides by mountains, the food was tasty and varied, even if the indoor dining area was a little like butlins.
the entertainment ranged from pretty awful to excellent, they had at least three professional entertainers brought in from the uk.the resident duo were terrific, and there was a quiz and karaoke in the tropical beach bar. unfortunately for me the entertainment in the amphitheatres left an awful lot to be desired, the reps tried hard but were a little inept at times and the stage was constantly being invaded by small children whose parents couldnt give a toss where they where and what they were doing.
that why it would have been nice to get off site and find a bar to have a quiet (or a not so quiet ) drink, unfortunately there wasnt anywhere,and i dont think there will be anytime soon.
the pools have to be seen to be believed they are everywhere, big pools small pools fun pools quiet pools. the beach is a disappointment,but we were told last year this myth about turtles i dont believe it, if you walk along the beach and cross over to the german hotel (cant remember its name) you,ll see what can be done to provide a good beach for its guests, god knows why there isnt a turtle problem there .its only a few hundred yards away.
you will love this hotel i promise, whether you,ll want to go back there i wouldnt know,but if you have a kiddy, i,m certain he,ll wanna go back.
oh and the mosquitoes, they are a problem but i went a whole week unscathed until the little rascals caught up with me,while they homed in on the wife from day one. its in the evening that the problem is worse particularly in the amphitheatres, where you get a lot of people congregating, but i think its pot luck they either like you or they dont, but lifes like that isnt it?.
i always find myself coming back to this site so i,ll look out for your thoughts on the place when you get back,....meanwhile me and the wife are off to nevada on saturday.....have a nice day ya-all
For me personally Lykia World is a big no no, we would be £2990 for our holiday compared with £1852 for PP. and with spends on top that blows us out the water. Plus with a wee monster wanting drinks every five minutes, and we do let him have what he wants on holiday, we'd probably be near a £2000 hotel bill
Thanks for all the good advice though. I am still hopeful that they will have tidied up the beach a little. There's no way they can still have left all the debris there from last year surely?!
There used to be some guys from Sarigerme posted on here, it'll be interesting to know if the village has expanded any! so if you're lurking Sarigerme people let us know whats happening.
Good night all its midnight and I am about to turn into a pumpkin.
Oh and Sam, your wishes have been answered KARAOKE!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Well thats me having a few early nights then lol

They can't have non-motorised water sports....but they can do Beach Party's at night with Fireworks, Loud Music and open bonfires and encourage the entire Population of the Hotel to trample all over the beach...mmmm smell a bit of there I'm afraid
Scottishmum, we looked at Lykia World before booking PP and thought the same as you. No way could we afford paying for all the extra drinks and ice creams etc. It does look great though.
Katy's clan, do you think they will still do the beach party or will this be another thing thats not available?
themcs, I am sure they will do the beach party. Think it is fairly tongue in cheek about the beach cause FC say they cannot do anything about it, it is a mess and was advertised as standing on Golden Sandy beaches. They blame the fact that they cannot disturb the turtles yet put on a lazer, foam party and firework show with bonfire once a week with several hundred people bopping over the site. And this is a turtles nesting area erMMMM?????
If you looked carefully you could see what we think were turtle footprints leading down to the sea.
If the place didn't have such good pools then it would be a disaster (the pools are there saving grace). Our kids were bored in the evenings but none of them were under 10.
We wouldn't return even if the whole place was open but no way would we with only half of it open and no motorised sport or nice beach etc.
We made the best of it last year and we did enjoy it as we were there with friends so we tried to laugh about things.
Hope you all have a good holiday despite the problems.
