I have searched the Oxford English Dictionary and there are no adequate words that can express how EXCELLENT the Barut Goia and its staff are. Unfortunately we are leaving today but our stay in Room 2309 with a beach view, (albeit across the road), was very spacious and comfy, great beds. The room included a spacious fridge with a minibar that was restocked daily and your room was cleaned daily, if you requested. There was a variety of very tasty food, catering for every taste, Turkish or otherwise, including some great salads and a whole host of desserts. The service was prompt, friendly and nothing was too much trouble. Our servers were great and Dilan, was excellent, even remembering our names and our favourite drinks! They had late dining between 22:30 to 07:00, great if you arrived tired and hungry from the Airport, as we did. Taxis were reasonably priced between 450 to 600 Lira when visiting the Old Town where you can haggle with the shopkeepers. Most took card but the currency of choice was Euros cash, and we were quoted in that mainly. You could easily purchase in USD or GBP. Jet2holidays provided the excursions, we paid £44 pp for a visit which included a very scenic waterfall, a 2 hour boat ride with a very delicious fish lunch or chicken, drinks extra, reasonably priced. A visit to the Deichmann Mall, no pressure, for a 1 hour shopping trip, got a few t-shirts and the local market, where the traders were low key and you could haggle - take cash, some accept card. We missed the historic tour which was also available. We used the Spa and had a very relaxing massage, great price my wife says, we got a group discount. Entertainment was good with a very enthusiastic MC. Visits to the beach were easy with free transport every 15-30 minutes, there and back and the hotel had its own section with free drinks and snacks served by very friendly barstaff. Reception staff at the front desk were very welcoming and more than helpful. All in all this was a great relaxing holiday in Antalya, Turkey, a great country with a varied and interesting culture which we will have more time to explore upon our return.
