We visited the Eken hotel in Gumber with a bit of trepidation. We’d heard mixed reports about the hotel & the travel company, but the moans & groans were unfounded. We were a mixed company of kids & adults & we all had a great time. The rooms were clean & bright & must have been recently decorated. The rooms were tidied every day, but towels were only changed every 2/3 days. …

Upon arrival at the Dilhan hotel (at about 4am) Ramazan greeted us & helped with our luggage. Our rooms were sorted out in no time & within the hour we were in a 24hr kebab shop! All shops, restaurants, bars can be seen from the hotel balconies, but the good thing is, this hotel is off the main road, so you get a good night’s sleep! …

Just back from our first viist to Gumbet & the Tropicana BEach hotel. We had a fabulous holiday & we owe a big part of that enjoyment down to the Tropicana manager, Yunis & his wonderful staff. If I had to sum it up I’d say “Arrive as guests & leave as friends”. …

Last stayed in the Pinewood apartments 6 years ago & found the apartment excellent at that time. My husband & I returned to the Pinewood in 2009 expecting the same standards, but we were greatly dissappointed. …

We booked a holiday package to the Hotel Leda Beach in Turkey on a B&B basis. Arrived at 03:30 in the morning and although reception is open 24 hours, we were greeted by a very unhappy man whose sleep we had obviously interrupted. He took down our details & our passports then tried to sell us air conditioning units for our room at 70 euros. We said we would make our minds up later so he then asked us for 45 TL for a safe which we went for. …

Before I write this hotel review, I would like to point out that my partner & I are are not “hotel snobs” & we realised that we were not going to get an outstanding hotel for the price we paid (£600 each for 2wks on an all inclusive holiday package) but I would like to share my experience of the Club Armar hotel in Marmaris so you do not waste any of your own money. …

The Hotel Efendi in Icmeler is a 3 storey hotel without a lift & a small 24hour reception area. The safety deposit boxes are £10 per week & if you have a night flight return home & need to keep your room on it will cost £16 but is well worth it. …

We have just returned from Dost hotel in Gumbet. We had two weeks there and we went out a lot due to having my 12 yr old daughter with me & there being no other children there for her to play with, otherwise we would have spent more time at the Dost enjoying the company of the lovely staff. …
