We have just returned from a two-week stay at the Burak and must say it was adequate if all you're looking for is a place to lay your head at night. Don't, however expect to get any sleep.

The second week a couple of families which arrived as a group with the children from hell. After the second day, I remarked to my wife that somewhere in England was a council estate which was very quiet. Every night around 3AM we were awaken by the shouting from one end of the hall to the other. Every afternoon the kids were running up and down the halls banging on doors.

We found the English woman referenced in other reviews to be very polite and helpful. Drinks were no more at the hotel than in many restaurants.

I can understand people's complaints about being groped all the time. This didn't happen any more within the hotel than anywhere else in the resort. The constant harrasment was wearing very thin by the time we left.

Me & my husband stayed at the Burak for 2 weeks, we found it a really nice hotel. Having been to Turkey before we new that the hotels tend to be more basic than in some other countries,but we thought the Burak was quite comfortable,everywhere was kept lovely & clean, and the staff were great, you could have a chat & a laugh with most of them.We would be quite happy to stay atthe Burak again.

My family and i stayed at the Burak. We found the hotel to be in an excellent location near to the beach but that is all it had going for it. We have two daughters 14 and 12 and for the whole two weeks of our holiday they were being constantly harrassed by certain staff in the hotel, one in particular was Ozzy who worked in the lobby bar, he was an absolute letch and kept patting my 12 year old on the bottom every two minutes which made her feel really uncomfortable. We didnt spend much time around the pool we mainly went to the beach as we didnt like the constant hassle around the pool from the staff. Because we didnt spend much time in the hotel and refused to pay their extortinate prices for their drinks we were pretty much snubbed. The food was ok, but every time we went to sit down for our meals one waiter in particular, (I dont know his name) would come and sit at our table harrasing us which made us all very uncomfortable. However while there we purchased a wonderful brand new 2 bed apartment with swimming pool, at least when i go back over this September i wont have to stay in a hotel. All in all Altinkum is a wonderful place but i would not recommend going to the Burak especially if you have young teenage daughters. BEST BAR BIG NOSE ERIC'S, it's great !!!!!!

It was my first time in Turkey and Altinkum was great, but we were dissapointed with the Burak Hotel, The Staff (waiters)were allways hassling you round the pool and i fact we went to the Beach most times. On only 1 occasion did we go the Hotel Bar and make no wonder 2 quid for 2 apple teas, i know the hotel has to make money but make no wonder people were eating outside the Hotel. I also noticed those people on H/B were given a different Menu to those people who walked in off the street to eat in the Burak. the only good thing was the Maids who did a fantastic job, and the best bar in altinkum was Big nose bar - Nice one Eric and not forgetting Hero, Smiley and the Rest. Will defo go back to Altinkum, but not sure about the Burak.....

We (me and my sister) recently (yesterday) returned from Alitinkum after a 2 week stay. Hotel Burak was a complete let down.

On our first morning we found when we went down stairs a number of workers were there waiting to great us and kiss us - we thought ho how polite these people are. Little did we no! They turned out to be an absolute pain.

Altinkum is a place where you get hassled to eat in the restaurants and to go in the bars for a drink etc.. which you get used to after a while but our hotel (Burak) proved to be an absolute nightmare. We could not step outside our rooms without one of the waiters popping up to harass us. We couldn't sit on our balconies (which over looked the pool) for waiters shouting and harassing us. They constantly hassled us to eat in their restaurant (Turan especially).

The constant groping and unnecessary hassle got so bad that in the end we had to run from the staircase to the front doors when leaving or entering the hotel.

Altinkum is a very nice place with a lot of wonderful people, wonderful beach and very hot temperatures. However, Hotel Burak is a definate no no if you are a woman (young or old) as the waiters (Ozzie and Freddie inparticular) are a complete nightmare.

The hotel bar wasn't very cheap and when they know you have had a few drinks the prices start to increase dramatically.

The receptionists are also very miserable and not very helpful at all. It seems that unless you are a regular visitor to the hotel and if you are not willing to spend 24 hours at the hotel they don't want to know you - quite bad considering it is an english lady who owns it with her turkish husband.

Avoid hotel Burak and their creepy staff if you want a relaxing, hassle free holiday.

Finally, the noise was unbearable, loud music starts at 7am and only stops at around 7p.m. then no music is played at all in the evening when you would most expect it.

We went here for a relaxing break but when we got there finally at 6.30am we were a bit disappointed with our room basic and bland hence the 2*.

Breakfast is 7am -10am, we caught a few hours sleep and didn

First time in Turkey we didn

The location of this hotel was spot on, close to the beach, the nightlife and the markets. The pool was very nice and I enjoyed lazying away everyday beside it while having a snack to eat. Although there where some aspects of it that needed to be considered. It was very slippery and the steps needed to be replaced. There was a turkish night which to be honest was utterly ridiculous. Half of what was mentioned about it wasn't even in it, and you have to pay for it. The food was OK but staff taking orders got mixed up at some point. Some of the staff was very nice and entertaining but a couple were just a joke. Our rooms were cleaned daily, which we was pleased with but not with the fact our stuff had been moved about and even used as we had an incident where a cleaner was spotted using someones perfume. At the hotel there is a lift but this kept on breaking down with people inside it. This became mostly a daily problem on our holiday. With all these facts put aside though the presence of the hotel was very nice.

This is the 1st time I'd ever been to Turkey and I dont know what I expected, but I was pleasantly surprised by the Hotel. I found the staff to be very friendly and service to be excellent. My only complaint was the fact that we had booked halfboard, but were expected to pay on Fri nights..'The Turkish night'...and the buffet wasnt really all that great. Other than that. we had a lovely stay at The Burak and would definitely visit again

The staff at the burak hotel are lovely people you just have to be careful of two of them because if they dislike you they will make it clear to you. My boyfriend works at this hotel he is lovely.

When I was in altinkum I went out clubbing with freddy, ismail, vedat, chef deniz and sometimes turan. The hotel I found quite nice apart from I would have liked to watch English TV.

When I arrived Freddie carried my bags to my room he was very welcoming all the staff were.
Going over next year for 3 months with my friend and we can
