Location
On arrival at our accommodation, we were extremely impressed, large, clean and comfortable looking apartments. For the next 2 weeks, we didnt have one bad thing to say about the accommodation, or Turkey itself.
We were falling in love with this place, and we didnt want to go home. The staff at Carina were so friendly and made us feel at home, we will always rememember Brian and Jimmy not their real names of course), they were Turkish.
The apartments were on a slight hill, but it didnt matter because the views were breathtaking. every room had either a pool view or sea view. We were lucky enough to have a sea view, and waking up every morning looking out onto the sea was wonderful. The rooms were bright, clean comfortable, everything any holiday maker could ask for.
The food at the bar was very tasty and very good value for money. I was ill on my second to last day, and unfortunately, I fainted outside the apartments. The staff were so friendly and helped me, and offered to take me to hospital, but luckliy I didnt need to go. They were so kind, they brought food to my room and drinks, and refused to take any payment, because I fainted. When we said goodbye, there were tears in my eyes, and also of the staff that we became close too.
As i said in the beginning of my review, it was our first trip to Turkey butd definitely wont be the last.
I just came back from Gumbet, and we have booked up for 3 weeks in Marmaris next year. Happy holidays everyone. Turkey is the best!

The entertainment was ok but we could have done with a little more.
The food was first class and relatively cheap.
The rooms were spotless. As was the rest of the hotel.
We will definatly be going back there for another 2 weeks break. I just hope they keep all the staff that was there when we visited this year as they helped make our stay one to remember. Jimmy, Numan, Brian, Shaun, Ricky, Memmett and the rest of the team were first class.
I really hope the hotel can keep them employed as they helped make our holiday what is was.

The food was very tasty although we didn't eat in the hotel often.
The hotel staff were very friendly and the entertainment was quite good.
The location was ok but it was a hill going back which was not very nice.
I would visit the hotel again.

Staff the best we have experienced in Turkey (4th visit to different locations).
We were there 18th July 2004 for 2 weeks
The disco on the beach opposite was very noisy until 3 or 4 am. (June to sept apparently) - Depending on what time you go to bed dictates how much it affects you.
Patio door shut with air con on seemed to work reasonably well.
Hotel staff i must mention again, were very friendly
jimmy ricky sean brian doogan mahmet excellent people
Though they did attempt to over sell you their theme night events. (free welcome bbq went down well)
Hotel meals were average,but good value
(Remember you are self catering)
drink prices were very Competitive
Pool area very clean as were the rooms.
24hr staffing available if you needed assistance.
Hotel location elevated above the small beach across the road below (10,000,000 - 40,000,000 lira)
for 2 loungers & a parasol (

There was a free welcome meal on a Tuesday evening although you were expected to participate in a short game of 'bingo' which was a bit of a con ( a free drink was the prize ). And also a Russian belly dancer came round each table after her performance and expected the men to stuff lira in all kinds of places.
We stayed for two weeks and the first week there was certain pressure applied to attend the barbecue on Thursday night, which cost 22 million turkish lira per adult and 11 million per child.
If you wanted air conditioning it was

The cleaners would come into your room every other day, and they would leave towels on your bed in different shapes i.e. flowers.
The hotel was located on the top of a hill, which did get in the way a bit.
The staff were great, but they didnt seem to sleep they went to bed at three at night and up at seven. I would say Carina is a great place for all ages.
