The entertainment is what you would expect from a hotel which gets many holiday makers from Russia, so it was slightly cheesey, nut the staff are lovely and it was always funny.
The hotel and rooms are always clean. Don't book up trips with the reps, take the free boat over to the town and book up yourself for a quarter of the price. We went on an all day cruide with beautiful fresh fish meal for

The same goes for the al carte restaurants which are excellent, you need to up early to join the queue so you can get a table...worth it though! Especially the Fish restaurant by the water, wonderful!
We had lots and lot's of steps to climb plus had a 6 month pregnant family member but you do get use to it and will keep you fit especially as all you do is eat and drink!!

If you have problems walking/climing its not for you. Nearly all rooms have a number of steps to them. Some like the north face of everest.
The food is mainly aimed at europeans. However with three restaurant you should be satisfied.
THE GOOD BITS.
Fantastic place. Fantastic staff. They will do anything for you.
Cases sent to your room from reception. Collected and sent to reception on departure.
Beautiful gardens,pool areas. Would recommend the Sunset cruise well worth ten pounds. Book this in the harbour. Try the Cozy while you are there.
The problem now is how to better it next year.

The fact that the hotel is about 15 minutes by car from Fethiye itself wasn't an issue, because the water taxi takes you there, which is very enjoyable. We often got the last one in at 7.30, then got a taxi home. One word of warning - if the boat is full, it leaves early, which can be a problem if it was the last one of the morning or night. I suggest getting there 15 minutes early.
The food was lovely. I always get an upset stomach on holiday, but not this time. It was varied, lots to choose from, and lovely. I'm a vegetarian, and there was always plenty to choose from. The two main restaurants for evenings were the Lykia and Sirena. The Lykia was like a cattle market, whereas the sirena is lovely. Open-air on the end of the peninsula by the lighthouse, lit by lanterns with chilled music - very romantic and quiet. There tends to be queues until 8.30, so we tended to wait until then.
The cleanliness was first-rate. There are always staff walking around the promenade that lines the peninsula cleaning up. The maids to a top job in your room every day, including decoratively arranged bedding with flowers!
The swimming pools were always packed and quite noisy, with towels saving beds all day again, even if people were hardly on them. We opted to sunbathe on the prpmenade, which has two sand beaches, and several shingle beaches, dotted along it. Very peaceful, the only noise being the plenty of boats that chug in and out of the harbour. The scenery is amazing.
The complex is huge, but lovely to walk around. Full of foliage and fantastic views. A shuttle trolly goes up and down between sections and is easy to jump on and off. Our room had 100 steps up to it, and it wasn't the highest. We quite enjoyed having it as exercise to walk off all the food, but it may prove difficult for some.

Our first 'shock' was the laborious climb to our room at 3am - we were right at the top of the resort. But the excellent facilities in the room, its size, the well-stocked mini-bar, first rate air conditioning and the view in the morning all made up for it.
And if this sounds negative, well it isn't meant to - we had an absolutely fabulous holiday. The entire resort was spotless - if the waves washed shingle onto the side of the promenade around the peninsula, it was brushed off. The beaches were kept clean. The gardens were luscious - we were always able to find a couple of sunbeds in a quiet spot in the shade for the day.
Clean beach towels every day (or twice a day if you wanted), hot and cold drinks as much as you want - including large bottles of mineral water. The staff were so welcoming, so friendly - look out for Barbara who does Mermaid Diving - she was especially helpful.
During the week we were there there were only 100 British couples at the resort out of the 800 people there at the time (most of the rest were Russians or from the former Soviet Union), with a few from other European countries.
The food was fine - plenty of fresh fruit, bread freshly baked on the site - indeed all the food was prepared on the site. The Italian themed night had some fantastic pasta and the best macaroons I've ever tasted.
Entertainment in the way of the shows in the evening was, in our view, patchy, which is why I've only rated it 3.
BUT we've no complaints about anything - we tried windsurfing, sailing, kayaking, canoeing - all included in the cost of the holiday. And there was something happening almost every hour of the day if you really wanted to be up and doing something.
We tried scuba diving - which was awesome, and went on a fantastic day's jeep safari, which included a trip to Saklikent gorge. Well recommended.
Would we go again - yes, we would.

This is by far one of the best hotels we have stayed in. Everything is clean, food is good, rooms are well-equipped (with good air-conditioning), the staff are friendly, the facilities are good and you don't have to get up at dawn for a sunbed! A minor quibble is the booking system for the a la carte restaurants and I hope they've sorted this now. I've only marked the entertainment as 4, simply because we did not involve ourselves in the daytime activities -we happily based ourselves at the first beach/hotel pool and most things took place elsewhere. We did watch the evening entertainment a few times which was, well, entertaining!
We did the trip to Dalyan (mud bath). This was extremely busy and touristy, but it's an experience. Dad and 17 year old daughter did the scuba diving (via hotel) which they would recommend. We also went to Fethiye a few times on the hotel shuttleboat.
We would definitely go back again.
