| The hotel facilities are excelent. The bathroom is very clean as weel as the rest of the room. The beds are very confortable, and i'm including an extra bed we've ordered (very confortable indeed). The breakfast had a good amount of choices and the self-service policie really helped (good coffee). The employees talk english which is good, because in the city center nobody talks with you in english, only tourists. Few we're the places where we could maintain a conversation. There is credit card in the hotel, however i should warn you that czech's don't like credit cards; so be preapared to pay almost everything in cash within the city (even the souvenir shops don't have visa cards, and there staff don't talk any english). About the hotel, you should leave in bus station "Cerninova" and, the quickest way is through a garden between buildings. I'm saying this, because the bus sation isn't in the street of the hotel.
Don't go by tram, as it takes too muck time to get to the city. Although the hotel is rated 4 star's i think it's neer to the 5. For the service it was a good price.

| Excellent hotel at a reasonable price. We stayed for two nights. You have to take a short walk to the "trulli" but it's good. Very clean. ..more |

| We were a little bit worried going since we had booked via Thomas Cook, who had rated it 4*, before reading any reviews. Some of the reviews (on sites like this one) were quite bad, but it was too late to do anything but go! However, the bad reviews proved unfounded.
We have been to two other club hotels in other Turkish resorts (Bodrum and Kusadasi) and this compared very favourably. There were four of us: my wife and I plus two adult children aged 19 and 22.
The isolated location was not a real drawback though Kusadasi is better, in that Ephesus is right next door, and both Bodrum and Kusadasi are more interesting as seaside resorts than Didim/Atinkum. We took the Dolmus to Atinkum once but didn’t think much of it. In the process we passed Apollo’s temple and decided that the view from the Dolmus was quite enough and the site did not merit a return visit!
What we really liked was the fact that there was plenty of space (perhaps because of the relatively late time in the holiday season and the fact that Ramadan had just begun). We found a jetty over the sea and lay there most mornings and late afternoons; it was quiet and not overcrowded. I also tried a sun bed on the grass one day but was severely bitten (without realising until later) so, if insects like you, do take repellent and anti-itch cream. You can get a good lemon/citronelle repellent locally which is not expensive, works and smells good. After clearing up the bites I had a great time – always applying repellent over the sun cream (the sun can be quite fierce!). We also liked the sea breeze.
We knew what to expect in terms of food and were not disappointed. There was a good variety and plenty of interesting salads as well as “hot” food, which, it is true, was not very hot. But then with temperatures over 30°C we were not after very hot food, so warm was OK for us. There was a chef cooking a “special” each evening which added to the variety. Saturday was “Turkish evening” and there were women in Turkish costume cooking filled (meat or cheese) “Turkish pancakes” on a heated dome. This was interesting to watch as one rolled out the dough while the other did the cooking, and also good to eat!
The lack of evening entertainment did not bother us, but I can see that it could be a problem for some; we played cards together instead! The only English channel on the television was France24 (ironically!), but since we don’t have TV at home this was not a great lack, though one good English channel with films or series would have been appreciated.
The room was bigger than necessary for two people and in excellent condition (as was the whole hotel except for the fitness centre – see below). The floor was tiled, which might be why some reviewers have called the room “spartan”, but in this climate tiles are much better than fitted carpet. The only slight drawbacks to the room were a slightly broken shower head holder (but quite usable) and no shower gel (either separate or in a dispenser). Since the soap was in a dispenser by the basin it would have been difficult to use it in the shower. Fortunately we had brought our own shower gel. We pushed the two twin beds together and after a couple of days the maids started to make it up as a double bed, which was a nice touch even if they used a single sheet sideways to do it! (Again, the heat meant this was not a problem.) By the way, the room’s individual air conditioning worked well.
All the staff were very friendly without overdoing it and made our stay a pleasure. It is true (as others have written) that some guests heaped plates with food and then left some of it, but we’ve seen that before and regret, but ignore, it. I’m not sure it was restricted to a particular nationality however. What was missing in the dining area was any non-smoking section. In Kusadasi there was a separate room for non-smokers which was very nice, but here there was nothing. However, with the hotel not being full we could usually avoid the smoke.
Very few negative points overall. The only major deficiency was in the indoor fitness centre where the only working equipment was one treadmill. The two exercise cycles could not be adjusted and one was completely broken and the other treadmill did not have any power cable. The weights machine was also defective and the room lacked air conditioning so was extremely hot. However, there was a lovely outdoor fitness area with machines that use your own body weight to help you exercise, so this compensated to some extent for the poor indoor room. The archery listed by Thomas Cook, was not available (we asked) though clearly had been at some point as we saw a couple of targets.
On our last day, the coach was only coming for us at 4:40 and so, with normal checkout at 12:00, we paid a very reasonable 30YTL (about 20 euros or 14-15 pounds) to keep one of our two rooms until 4pm, so we could be cool, shower etc.
I guess we can conclude that if a major tour operator rates a hotel as 4* then it probably is at least close to that.
We would go again!

| I stayed in this hotel for 1 week. The hotel staff was always nice, the food was good, the drinks were great, the room was very nice, etc. The all-inclusive plan is very good. Very nice room from my balcony. Nice pool and surroundings, lots of sun chairs. The location great-near the beach. I look forward to returning to Ibiza and I would select Hotel Algarb again. ..more |
