Just came back from 2 weeks at hotel pineta, food OK. Although lots of gastro enteritis, some in hospital.

Tiles round pool lethal, a few broken legs.

Entertainment was an absolute joke,best entertainment was 2 turkish weddings, ate at the samdan restaurant a few times, try it if you ever go to Marmaris, good food.

Will not be going back to Hotel Pineta!

We have never been to turkey but decided to try and marmaris is a lovely place. We turned up at pineta at 7.15am.were shown to our rooms which were disgusting. The view we had on opening the door was of an old caravan, a slurry tank and chickens on the balcony.

We complained and had to wait until 2.pm for another room which was much better although by then we were very tired and in need of a shower.

We did not rate the food too highly but will say the salad is very tasty and plenty of it. We could not eat breakfast as it was not for us but you can

arrived earlymorning after a nightmare of a ride from airport only to find that the room we were given was not a family room as ordered,the room was filthy and damp.our grand children had to sleep not only in the same room as us but in a single bed.this hotel is supposed to be 4star what a laugh.everyone in the group had omplaint.two ladies with there children had the same problem except it was there 10yr old daughter and 11yr old son(not related)had the single bed in the same area as there mams.i wouldn,t care but the hotels invoice showed that we had ordered a family room.but all we could get out the rep was ;he always doing this overbooking,can,t do anything high season what he tried to say like or lump it.don,t get me wrong we love turkey but not only we will never come back to this hotel but will never book with regal again(they are not abta bonded-apparently the owner of the company dosen,t think it necessary).we only stayed in that place for approx eight hours and moved to the keskin palm gardens(which we had find ourselves rep did sfa) which we would give 10/10 they made our holiday great ,grandchildren keep making hints to go back to keskin

Arrived at this hotel 3pm checked in no problem got rooms facing the pool which we requested.
Had a shower and went to sun bath it was really hot.
We have stayed at this hotel 3 times now and it just gets better each time.

We have already booked up for next year and requested same 3 rooms.

Snack bar is a lot better than last year a lot more selection pizza garlic bread mash potatoe spagetti bol
Salads burgers lasanga etc etc

Breakfast consists off coco pops cornflakes sugarpuffs
Yoghurts, hard boiled eggs each day toast etc etc then one day it will be omelettes next fried eggs next scrambled eggs. Mushroom.

Never had lunch once as it was so hot to eat we used to get snack bar.

Evening meal was a lot off good choice always fish pizza chicken soup salads etc etc sweet trolley always some thing for every one always have fried onions tomatoes chilly's which were beautiful especially the fried onions.

Entertainment was good according to my teenage kids we didnt sit up stairs it was 37 deg on a night myself my hubby and my young grandaughter used to sit in the garden bar on a night it was a lot cooler.

Rooms had a double bed and single bed in a double wardroble and a single 2 bedside cabinets a dressing table a tv a fridge.

Bathroom was nice with shower and also free dove shampoo and shower gel.

Around the pool area its real slippy you need water shoes on all day adults and kids there is a indoor pool were my eldest grandson spent most off his time also a big pool were there play games all one depth.

There is also a baby pool and another big pool which is really deep.

There a hairdresser on complex a shop which is cheap and that is open 24 hrs a day.

Staff are really friendly and kind

We didnt do no trips this time due to it been to hot to even go out plus we have 2 little ones with us they dealt with the heat better than the 14 yr old

We did do the new waterpark which is a fantastic day out and food really cheap at the waterpark which surprised us.
So roll on 2008 when we return

We stayed with my friends in Pineta club hotel for 1 week. When we arrived and entered the room, we were quite surprised how dirty it was..The bathroom was awful it was preety bad experience to touch the sink or the shower..
When we went downstairs for lunch it was so hot in the lobby and the restaurant...oh my god no air conditioner, imagine how you should eat in 50 degrees. . I am really thankful we had air conditioner in our room.
As a whole the hotel is really nice. It has really huge garden with the pools and the sun beds, palm trees and flowers.
There was big variety of food, but only if you have energy to eat in these 50 degrees.
It will be ok if you go to the restaurant 10 minutes before 19:00h, because otherwise you will have to wait for all 1200 people to pass by the food and go to the tables.
Please bring towels. The hotel towels smell awful, probably because of the humidity. Be aware to ask the cleaning ladies to change your towels everyday. We spent half a day waiting for them to give us towels because imagine

Arrived at the hotel at 5.30am and the staff were waiting for us and were very friendly and then took our bags to our room.
Rooms are cleaned everyday by the maids and they do a good job. The food is good but can be repetative especially after 2 weeks but that was expected. The location is very good with the market right outside the front of the hotel on thursdays.The hotel staff were excellent and very friendly and would do anything to make your stay more enjoyable. Had a great laugh with them although got the waiters told off a few times for talking to us. The entertainment was good but at night it was mainly for children. In the day the entertainers worked very hard and played lots of games and tried to get everyone involved without being pushy.
All in all I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at the pineta and this was my first time in Turkey and I will definetly be visiting marmaris again hopefully this year but if not then next year. Dont let some of these reviews put you off you will have a brill time!!!

All inclusive...well, I don't think so unless you love chicken and meatballs for every meal washed down with salad, chips and more chips, you can only stomach so much!!! Potatoes were a breakfast treat, along with boiled eggs, scrambled eggs, omelette's and tomatoes, never bacon, only chopped up rubbery German sausage. We had mushrooms one morning and I was so excited I got a plate full only to find that they were cooked in so much pepper/chilli they blew my mouth off and I was sat next to the water fountain all day.

I love fruit and yog. on a morning but that only stretched as far as an orange, water melon or small plum type fruit. No variation at all.

On the positive side the rooms were cleaned daily with clean towels and bedding (although the sheets were wet a couple of days and we had to hang them on the balcony to dry.)

The entertainment staff were friendly enough, if you can call it entertainment, it was like stepping back in time to a holiday camp playing the birdie song, and aga do.

The pool area was nice, and the hotel itself for that matter if you just want to chill out and get drunk on an evening to obliterate the boredom.

We arrived at the hotel and did not know what to expect after reading previous reports but we were suprised, The hotel was great, The rooms were clean, The aircon was brand new and really cold and not noisy at all.

The food was a bit repetetive ie chicken but always cooked in a variety of ways and very tasty, The salads and soup were also very good and the deserts were lovely.

The staff were very friendly and helpful, The drinks were limited gin,vodka,raki,beer(lager) and soft drinks but this was stated in the brochure so we knew what to expect.

The entertainments team were very good I dont know where they get their energy from.

Overall we had an excellent holiday, I would definately visit this hotel again.

I was extremely worried after reading the reviews but I was most pleasantly surprised.

The room was small, but we managed, and it was cleaned everyday, so no complaints. The staff were absolutely fantastic. I loved everyone of them, and the kids thought they were in heaven, so many nice people.

We didn't spend a lot of time in the hotel as the excursions on the street, (not from the rep), are so cheap, and the shopping is to die for.

The pools were great especially the indoor one, for the kids. I had one 2 yr old and one 6 yr old. they always found something to eat.

The salads are amazing, we lived off them. The kids had chips now and again, but they loved the salads and cheeses so much.

It's not English food, but then why go abroad if that's what you want?

It did get busier before we left, and I can see why it may go downhill a bit when packed to full capacity.

The entertainment was outside our room every night, till midnight, so quite hard to get an early night, but my two year old still slept through it, and on the last three nights we just thought, can't beat them so join them!!

Anyone going on the Kardleens boat tour say hello to Eugi for me. From Tina!!

Hotel club Pineta was the pits as far as the food was concerned.

Thought going all-inclusive was a great idea for a female travelling alone till I saw the food. I would not feed it to my dog, it was cold, the day time snacks were moved on trolleys to the pool bar salad on top covered, burgers etc underneath uncovered for flies to get to. On an evening food was luke warm, always chicken, salad came alomg with the insects!!! The curd soup whatever that was ended up with another name!!!!

Many families complained some were paid to eat out, the butter was over 2 years out of date but we were told thats ok cos its been frozen. I ate out during the day and lived on bags of crisps on an evening!! The drinks that were available were vodka, gin, beer and raki as well as soft drinks!!

Quite a lot came down with stomach bugs wonder why!!!!! A shame it could have been a great hotel, the location was near to the resort but far enough away to get a good nights sleep, entertainment left alot to be desired.

Must say though some staff were lovely.
