Look on you tube, some one has put their holiday videos on. There is a few of them at the bar being served cocktails, every one seems very friendly. They are by someone called Pinky. :really

We went to the Xanadu last year and the same was said of that hotel. We had a lovely time and every one was great. The only people who let the side down was the british. We are at the Delphin Palace this August and i cannot wait :sun2

There are always a lot of Russians at these hotels in the Antalya region. They do tend to queue jump a bit and expect to be served first. Just go with the flow and don't worry about it. The Turkish just love the English - so don't worry about the staff, they were lovely with us when we were there and they were all fabulous with my three grandchildren. You will love it.!! Denny

I was speaking to someone who went to the delphin last year and are going again, she said not to take any towels as you are given fresh beach/pool towels everyday, you just have to put a small deposit when you arrive and you are given a card which you hand it in for your towel and at the end of the day you take your wet towel back and you are given your card back .
Also get fresh towels in your room everyday, so it should save a bit on the weight in the case. oh she said the hair dryer's are really powerful so you could probably leave that as well,up to you. ;)

:D Thanks for that, all the space i can gain in the suitcase is a bonus when traveling with children.

With the A La Carte restaurants at the Delphin Palace can you eat in them as many times as you to want during your holiday or are you limited. Some one has told me that you are limited, but it does not say that in the brochure i booked from, and it does state this fact for many of the other hotels featured.

I hope not as that was one of the reasons i picked it. Other wise it will be back to the Xanadu next year.

Thanks :tup
