Hi Causeways, the ice cream in the beach bar up near the beach is free and a big variety to choose from this is from 10am to 4.30pm theres a snack bar there aswell so try and eat your ice creams up there otherwise if you take them back to the pool area its so hot they have melted before you get there. I think the confusion comes from the fact that there are freezers at the side of some of the bars with our branded ice creams and lollies in and these you pay for but we never used them, its just as easy to go up to the beach bar for one.
Orange juice is free also in the breakfast restaurant and you help yourself to it, I think if you wanted it any other time it might come under one of the drinks you pay for at the bar, but same again there is so much on offer that is in the all inclusive you dont need to pay for the other drinks they include cocktails, red bull, malibu and that kind of thing. Will give you one piece of advise though the Efes larger goes down like a treat but it is very strong spent many a morning nursing a hangover from that and the brandy and lemonade because the spirits are also good brands which on all inclusive makes a change strong strong strong.
Enjoy your hol im sure youll love it we did.

I am really really excited and since we changed from Kos we have longer to wait. I spend hours now on the net looking at the resort, reading all your good reports. We have paid more but got a better deal as we now have a kids den. The girls are besides themselves and we have to keep reminding ourselves that we have to wait until 10th August - what drinks are free and what do you have to pay for? How are the mosis do we need to bother with a deet spray or will normal do. did anyone hire a car?
Really looking forward to going now and thanks for the tips about the drinks.
Another thing that not many people mention is we found that we didnt no why we had taken Turkish Lira, all the Turkey ask for English money first and then seem a bit perplexed when you have Lira and it worked out you got better deals for your money, when we go next year were not bothering with anything other than English money hope this helps.

We're off to the Pegasus 3 weeks today on 12th June for 2 weeks - after being cancelled from Kos ABC - really looking forward to it now.
There's me, my hubby and our two girls who are 9 and 6, is anyone else going at the same time that has children of similar age that would like to email each other, please pm me?
It looks like there's more choice in the drinks department than last year - that's good!!! Off to buy my bikini now - ha ha!!

A little confused with the money situation. Deborah, you say that the locals all ask for pounds. Do they take coins or only notes and do they offer change. Surely there must be something in it for them. Can you change money in the hotel?
Thanks Debbie, I will tell my other half and we won't bother to change our money up but take it all in English. I am getting ridiculously excited now!
Hi Causeways, yes they do have change, you just get a better deal for things especially in the markets and bars outside the Hotel, you can change money in the Hotel and same again there they charge or ask for English first and then convert to Lira if thats all you have. The exchange rate changed alot while we were there the first week our money was going a long way but the second week it was hardly worth anything in Lira. There is a dolmus bus at the bottom of the lane near security from the hotel and that takes you to Ortaca its not a very nice place although they have a good market on Tuesdays its 2.5 lira to get there and there is a cash point in a big booth in the bus station, we just got the bus straight there got our money and went straight back on the next bus you dont have to wait they cant wait to get you on their bus so they can have the fare.
Just want to back up to Debbie that The exchange rate changes. in the hotel Exchange rate is a bit lower. Before changing your money it would be better for all of you to see exchange rate in Sarigerme as there is exactly a difference. Thats exactly right Dolmus is 2,5 Lira for per person
Debbie l dont know which market you went but Ortaca Market is on Fridays and honestly Ortaca market is a lot bigger and cheaper than Sarigerme market as Ortaca is not a touristic place
Please Feel free to ask

We go on thurssday! I wonder if anyone can confirm if men must wear long trouser in the resturant?
My hubby mostly had three quarter trousers on a night and the restaurant never said anything, although towards the end he wore long trousers and so did I because of the mosquitos.
My Hubby usually wears the 3/4 lengths too but I think Ill get him to take some long trousers just in case. Did anyone else have any problem with 3/4 lengths in the resturants?
only1ronaldo - what did you mean by personal touches!!!
hi does anyone know how much spending money needed as we have never been on an all inclusive hol before? we have 2 kids aged 7 and 9.
hi i am thinking about booking 4 family of 4 summer 07. can any one tell me if any other nationalities uses the turkey holiday village ? & if so which ones many thanks . Angi
Could someone shed some light on the turkish baths. Are these within the hotel and are they included in AI.
only1ronaldo - what did you mean by personal touches!!!
Hi Thecauseways,
Yes the turkish bath is in the hotel spa complex. This complex also contains a small but adequate gym, which I used for a couple of days.
The 'personal touches' was a reference to the cheeky lad who attended my wife. She is a bit shy normally and she felt his massaging technique was a bit pervy, rather than proffesional. I would make it clear to the man at the beginning about any boundarys you may have or better still insist on a women.
She did not kick up a big fuss but she will be a little bit more choosy this year.

Hi Angi
Last year the PP was English, Scottish, Welsh and Irish. The Tropical was a mix of Dutch and English, Scottish, Welsh and Irish.
Not sure what the set up is this year, but I would expect the same, perhaps without the Dutch.
