We found Altinkum a nice friendly environment, there is plenty to do with lots of bars,clubs and resturants.
The food is especially good at robin hood if u go there u have to have a testi kebab, you will get dancing and fire eating before your meal.
The staff are very friendly especially apo who is lovely and who is my boyfriend :)the beaches are good, I recommend 3rd beach, its clean, water sports such as jet skiis, banana boats ect. The boat trips are a have to do at just 6 pounds which includes lunch it is a good day out.
Yes I will be back I love it sooooo much and cant wait to book the next holiday.

A busy resort - even in October. Overfull of British, so if you want a taste of the real Turkey, jump on a dolmus, and head out for a few miles. Altinkum is known as the Turkish Blackpool, and we can imagine how it would be in high season! Nevertheless, it was really enjoyable, with loads to do and see even at the end of the "season". Stacks of bars and restaurants, with really friendly staff, and no need to eat or drink at the same place twice!
Definitely recommended, especially as the beach - (despite the fact that we're not "beach people") - was so inviting, and the Aegean so warm and clean. We'll be back soon!

Tthis my 7th time in Altinkum this year in October, and I can say it was just as good as the last.
The resort is very clean and the locals are very welcoming,, some maybe put off by the constant hassling, but dont let it ruin your holiday. The entertainment in this resort is excellent I definitely recommend you sample a Turkish night as the are fab..lol...the breakdancers are great and im sure that the belly dancer may grab the attention as she will get 1 or 2 of you up on the dance floor (esspesially the men).
I recommend you try the Galaxy bar as they are very friendly and its a great place go for a night out,.. Iwould also suggest the buzz bar and cheers bar as they both serve great food.. the beaches are great for relaxing after a good old night out. You will love it, try it you wont regret going, and Im sure lots of people agree with me when I say that its a great place to go and spend a holiday.

Altinkum is a very beautiful place.
The people are very friendly. The food is varied and of an excellent standard. The shopping was superb.
Will definitely visit Altinkum again.

As we stayed by the Esra pool in the daytime, we only saw Altinkum at night. It seemed very clean.
Recommended restaurants - Deniz Restaurant (you can ask Esra Reception to phone the restaurant and they'll come and pick you up.) Deniz Restaurant is set on and overlooks the 3rd Beach - it's a beautiful setting, very romantic if you are a couple. Another good restaurant was Noah's Ark. It is just down the road from Esra, 5 mins walk. Ask for Jay Jay, and he'll look after you well. The staff get up and dance, it's good entertainment. We got free garlic bread before our meal and free fresh fruit after. You can pay in £ sterling too!
Cafe Del Mar is another good restaurant - they don't shout at you from across the street to get you inside - just laid back friendly service. Hussain served us and was a very nice man.
Lastly, try Paradise restaurant, again set on the beach just round the corner from Dolphin Square, staff are very friendly and they had lots of reserved tables for the locals - always a good sign!
I would try to avoid The Grand restaurant, one staff member insulted my friend and the food wasn't much good either. Slow service too.
You must go to the Dolphin Square Cafe & Bar, this is such a great place to spend an evening. It's in Dolphin Square. A special 'Hello' goes to Steven (Nihat) and Rammy the waiter who looked after us VERY well. Gypsy and the dancers offer great entertainment. Watch out for sparklers and singing when they deliver cocktails to your table - it's great fun!

I have only visited Alktinkum in Turkey so I can't really compare it to other resorts. Needless to say, it is a GREAT resort and I would certainly recommend it to other people. The beaches are great, especially 3rd Beach with the Deniz restaurant.
Ege Bar, Seal Bar, Flamingo and Medusa are the best bars and nightclubs to visit. Sultan restaurant is the best place for food, especially their Sunday lunches(mmmmmmm!)

Altinkum for me and my partner was great, we only went for a week but to be honest a week is enough as although there are plenty of restaurant and bars, you tend to find alot of them are the same.
The resort itself was better than expected although the roads are dusty we hardly saw any litter on the floor, the beaches are clean (3rd beach is the best as is quieter than the main beach).
Constant hassle when you look round shops and being dragged into restaurants becomes very tedious but you will find the better restaurants if you grin and bear it walking along the main stretch.
We found that our favourite restaurant was Dolunays, although a little more expensive than the others it is well worth it, the food was fantastic and service brilliant, it was the only restaurant we went to twice.
We went on a couple of day trips -Pammukulae (sorry could be spelt wrong !) was breathtaking well worth it - but dissapointed with Ephesus.
All in all a great resort, but wouldnt go for two weeks as not enough variety of things to do there which is why we wouldnt go back.

Altinkum is a developing resort that is rapidly growing. The infrastructure has been put in place to cope, just. Reasonable shops and resturaunts, Particularly recommend Kismet cafe and bar in Dolphin square. Excellant food, 1st class service and friendly owners and staff.
