Hi Thanks for you reply you seem to know alot about this hotel which is really usefull. I was a bit surprised about how many in a room though as there are 8 of us going 2 families in each bungalow. In our room they are supposed to be putting a double bed 2 singles and a cot. Hope we will be able to walk around.

seems quite a lot ,two families in one room . there are normally one doube,and one single ,and they will put in a folding bed or a cot,if required , both of my daughters have stayed there ,one with her husband and two teenage kids ,and one with her husband , sister inlaw and two year old baby ,it was not ideal but they coped as it would have meant extra money for more rooms , all depends on how you look at it , im sure all the other good things in this hotel will more than make up for any crowding, enjoy yourself

Just booked for the Sun Zeynep for one week on April 22nd. Can anyone tell me what the weather is likely to be at that time? Hoping it will be nice :D

Also any tips on shopping etc for Belek would be really welcome. Usually go to Olu Deniz so am hoping it will be as good as there.

Thanks for any help.

Thanks for the help here.

Not sure if it is classed as in season or not. Think we might miss it by one week as lots of other hol companies seem to class it from first of May. Hopefully it will still be okay.

Do you happen to know if there are ATM's there?

Thanks again.

What sort of things do you reckon we will miss out on?

Do you think it will still be okay though?

Just wondered if anyone had been there recently as I heard there was work going on alongside it and keep hearing mixed reviews good and bad.

We are off for one week on the 22nd April and would appreciate any feedback from anyone who has been recently.

We have had so many mixed reviews and are now wondering if we have booked the right holiday!!! We love Turkey so are hoping the hotel is going to be fine and weather good. We usually do Olu in October so fingers crossed we like it as much.

THanks to anyone who can help out here.

Also can anyone point me in the right direction of what clothes to pack for this time of year. Fingers crossed we can sunbathe!

hji anne not to sure what you will miss out on ,only know it is brilliant in the high season one member who went in november last said that it seemed to downgrade in the winter, dont think the work you are talking about has anything to do with the sun zeynep there was work due to start in the hotel next door i think it is the justinano, should not interfere with your holiday as it is far enough away , hope you enjoy yourself please let me know how you get on , me and my wive are booked up for two weeks in june , and then another two weeks in september with most of our family.

HI Anne
hope you have a good holiday we are also booked in the sunzeynep in August so are looking foreward to your reply.I had heard they where building lots of bars around the hotel so it will be interesting to hear if this is the case.
:wink:

hope not lesrs, part of the characterand charm for all the hotels along this beach ,is that it is far away from bars, the closest town/village is kadreya which is about ten/15 mins away on an open sided bus,sometimes pulled by a tractor,all the land between them is mostly forest ,and i for one hope it stays like that.

When I went in November I was told by the only bar that was open so far that there were plans for six bars. These bars are very smalll with outdoor tables and chairs, drinks, snacks, very low key and there would be restaurants and other facilities were planned. The pathways and lighting were already working and there were lots of open space. It looks as though it will be really nice when finished which I think it will be by now.
I was the member who went in November and was not happy. I am sure we were unlucky in our timing as other members have loved it and returned. I hope you all have a lovely holiday and you come back and say I was wrong and it is different and that's genuine.

yes margaret i remember you , do you mean in the grounds of the hotel ,or outside ,if it is part of the hotel tht can only make it better.

No, It is not in the grounds, it is the open space next door.
It seems the people of Kadriya (sp) got some investment money and decided to do up that area calling it Kadriya Beach. It was the vacant lot between the the Zeynap and the next hotel not the Justiano the other way.
As I said the plans in the local paper in November said it would have an amphitheatre, hamam, restaurants etc.
Of course the downside is you are expected to pay as well as your AI but I suppose it would make a change. The bars are not really the type of bars that you would spend the night in they are more for the odd drink or snack when you are out for a walk.

I will post as soon as I get back and give you an update. If there has been developments will get some pics so I can let you all see them.

On the money front are we best with euros for this area and are there local ATMs for cash withdrawal?

On the positive side for us looks like the temps are warming up nicely :hyper

I have just realised that I have some photos from our balcony which shows a bit of the open area. I will see if I can put them on.
