This was our very first visit to Turkey and the Turquoise Hotel and it's staff did not disappoint. Firstly we arrived at 1am on the Sunday and received a friendly greeting plus some food as we had missed dinner. What a treat, and completely unexpected, thank you. The young chap who showed us our room was very impressive in offering to carry both our heavy cases to the 2nd floor and showing us the facilities whilst being respectful of sleeping guests. The room had all that you need for your stay. The TV was never turned on during our stay but the shower and hairdryer worked well and the bed was very comfy. Thank goodness for the air conditioning too! We woke up to a lovely pool and sea view from our balcony plus the surrounding mountains, with the inevitable paragliders filling the sky each day. The food at the Turquoise Hotel is amazing. Everything is fresh, tasty, abundant and well displayed. We've never eaten so well and so healthily while away, trying lots of new dishes too, and so didn't feel bad about tucking in to the wealth of unusual and colourful desserts. Not to mention the daily icecream hour between 2-3pm. The pool is lovely with plenty of sunbeds and parasols. The water is cooler than the sea but very refreshing on hot days. There's plenty of activities to keep you occupied if you stay at the resort during the day plus nightly entertainment (except Monday evenings). We particularly enjoyed the Turkish folk dancing! Additionally, you can visit Sugar Beach and its lagoon for which the hotel provide a free shuttle bus every day ( 3 times outbound, 2 times return). This looked particularly good for little ones as much of the water is quite shallow and warm. It has its own restaurant and bar plus hire of bodyboards, pedalos, etc. Reception staff are helpful and attentive. We had a couple of minor issues on our first morning and these were dealt with straight away whilst we popped out for our first visit to the "strip." All the staff at the hotel from the lovely cleaners, waiting staff, chefs, Murat of guest relations were incredibly helpful and accommodating, including helping us to learn Turkish! The hotel is a 10 minute amble down to the beach where you run the gauntlet of enthusiastic traders, bars and amusingly named shops. We used buses to get about and the bus station is just another couple of minutes along the beach front. This made the Turquoise so perfectly situated and a great place to set off from for the day. Overall, the value for money is fabulous considering the location, facilities and the quality food served throughout the day. We'd definitely go back again!
