Julian Forest Suites

We have just returned from having spent 2 weeks in Julian Forest. We booked the holiday through easyjet holidays. Upon arrival the man on reception was very nice and helpful, happy for a chat and we spent a while talking to him about my daughters Welsh name that turns out is also a Turkish name. There was a slight miscommunication with easyjet and the hotel, we had upgraded to a 2 bedroom suite, but the hotel did not have this information. They did resolve it and move us to a 2 bedroom suite, and said that they would confirm with easyjet in the morning or we would be charged, but this was done the following day and reception spoke to my husband to let him know that it was all okay. The room was large and consisted of 1 room with a double bed and en suite bathroom, a lounge, another bedroom with 2 single beds, a bathroom and a balcony. There was a fridge and kettle in the lounge area, I wouldn't say it was plush, but it was clean and comfortable, showers were great, and it was cleaned every day. We were in block B which is the quieter side overlooking the quiet pool. The food was excellent, we enjoyed every meal, and I have one quite fussy child. There was always lots to choose from, and it was so tasty. The main restaurant was lovely, and the snack bar was also really nice. I found there was some basics that would be there every day such as chips, rice, noodles etc, then there would be other things that were different each day, in the night there was always chicken curry as an option, but my husband told me it was one of the best chicken curries he had tasted. The selection was lovely and we never felt that we were bored with the food. The pools were lovely, very clean, cold but started to warm the longer we were there, there were staff cleaning all the time. We spent most of our time in the quieter pool, which is block b, the entertainment team spend most of the time by block A pool, but do come around to tell you if there are any activites that the children may want to join in on the other side. Block B pool had different depths that my children liked. The main pools were quite deep at 1.2 m at the shallow end, but there are small children's pools on each side also. There were slides on each side that were open for certain times during the day. Entertainment was great, the team were absolutely fantastic, they were doing activities throughout the day, then in the night it was children's disco, bingo and another show/quiz/karaoke etc. There were not any external people doing shows, it was all done by the entertainment team. There were kids clubs during the day and there was a kids club with different activites in the evening that you could pay for. My children never go to kids club but my youngest insisted in the last few days that she was going as she loved the staff so much. We went the week before and during half term, there was a vast increase in guests the second week that we were there. During the first week we could stroll to ei

Just returned from the Julian forest suite, it’s a good hotel but could be better with a few improvements. I’ll start with the improvements, house keeping department lets this hotel down need to employ more cleaners and pay more attention to detail as I didn’t feel the room got cleaned the whole time I was at the hotel plus block A rooms are dated and only have air conditioning in the bedroom plus I did hear a few horror stories of things going missing from rooms, Personally feel reception staff could be improved, 1 of the men (with long hair) is very abrupt and rude with guests plus reception charge some guests if they want to move from block A to block B and some guests move for free………. I messaged reception before arriving with special requests none of them were fulfilled……….. The pool and areas could be cleaner, some guests spilled drinks, approached staff to make them aware of this but no one ever appeared to clean it up so this resulted in ants and wasps in the area. There is no life guard on duty around the pools area’s only 1 guy turns up for an hour in the morning and an hour in the afternoon to man the slides. To which he was always pleasant and had a brief chat with you. Sun beds were never a problem for us you could turn up at anytime of the day and you would get a sun bed somewhere. Yes people got up early to get a spot for the day but no major issues. The general food, snack bar and restaurant staff was good, yes some of the food was repetitive but you expect that at an all inclusive hotel, there was always something new to try. It was always hot and got topped up whenever it was needed except the deserts. We thought the standard of food was really good, Special mention to the chef that makes the omelette’s at breakfast, Bar staff were usually ok. They constantly asked you to fill out feedback forms and only post the good one’s. Plus usually only one person serving so it results in long queues and fighting away the wasps while you wait Yes the hotel is out the way a bit but the bus stop is right outside the hotel and they come past every 10 minutes and it only cost 25 TL into Icmeler or 30 TL for Marmaris per person. best part of the hotel was Funky and his entertainment team which was made up Omar, Gokee. DJ Joseph. Cindy. Luna and Sam. Every day these guys turn up, work hard providing entertainment for all the guests young and old, but it does feel like they try to befriend you so you part with your hard earned cash. They are constantly wanting money from you, they speak to you personally which makes you feel you can’t say no…….. please just do your job and let us enjoy our holiday Would I return to this hotel ??? No
