I cant believe all the bad reviews that the Turkin hotel in Kusadusai received!! we paid next to nothing for a 1 week half board holiday, and to be honest didnt find much to complain about!! I noticed a few people complained about things such as: Food (your in turkey, if you want english food, holiday in england!) The room (which is basic, but most have fantastic views. at the end of the day what more do want than somewhere to store your clothes and sleep? you dont go on holiday to spend in your room! ours was cleaned twice while we stayed, towels and toilet replaced etc) The shower (this seemed to be a common complaint, and yes i will admit, if you decide to take a shower at peak time it may take 15 mins for hot water to come thru, but just try to avoid showering at the same time as everyone else, and anyway, who wants a hot shower in 35 degree heat!?) The pool (clean and the poolside is a very nice little suntrap from early morning onward) The staff (who were absolutely amazing, they will bend over backwards to do anything for you including run to the shops to buy cigarettes!! they are funny, caring and altho they speak broken english, they try bloody hard!!) And finally location (a major bus stop right outside, a 60p, 5 min bus ride into the bustling town centre which has everything you?ll ever need, DO NOT MISS THE WEDNESDAY MARKET!! also the hotel is quite handily located for reaching the spa and water parks) Please dont believe all the rubbishing reviews of this hotel, like i said it isnt the Ritz, but for a cheap and happy holiday look no further, i look forward to seeing more reviews of the Turkin like this.

Turkey - Other, Turkey Holiday Review - Marmaris

Turkey is a unique and unspoilt traditional place, a non euro country so very cheap and your sure to land yourself a good bargain of quality gear. If you can get to the market on a Sunday or Thursday in Marmaris you will be in your element of the cheary banter and even cheaper deals, from clothes to fresh fruit and veg. Word of advice take little clothes with you because you won't fit all your bargains in your suitcase when coming home! The sun shines from early morning to the evening so take your own suncream with you, or buy it only from chemists or supermarkets, as it may not be the original thing elsewhere. Turkish people are warm and friendly and enjoy good hospitality and conversation with you. The bars come to life at night with lots of good food menu choices, belly dancers and break dancers to keep you entertained. I enjoy their Efes lager after a day in the sun very refreshing and I can't wait for my next holiday.
