Eftalia Village Hotel - All Inclusive

I hated it . It's not all inclusive as advertised cocktails have to be paid for along with fresh orange juice. Al a carte has to be paid for also when we was there in May charging £20 each they june/July jumped to £40 each. I just felt you where getting ripped off everywhere. Shop keepers quite aggressive if your not buying anything and just browsing. Went to Antalya for the day and got charged £21 for a latte and a coke. I'd NEVER GO AGAIN

I have salmonella from the resort. Confirmed by testing once back in the uk. There is an outbreak of cryptosporidium on the resort, wasnt informed before travel. The pool areas never got cleaned to our knowledge. Bins and rubbish where still on the floor the next day. All inclusive was questionable .. only wine and beer and pop and juice, but stacks of water bottles in village apartments. No cocktails and only spirts vodka and whiskey very watered down from the pool bar or jet 2 bar at 8pm.  On the island there's different places for food but in my opinion it wasn't that nice and unhygienic.  The chicken and pizza stalls where nice but nothing to rave about. But after 4pm it's Al a carte. And no info is given on arrival about much really. Rooms basic but cleaned daily. No kettle which I found odd. Waiters only got you a table saved and get your drinks if you tip, we tipped abit but due to going all inclusive we didnt have much money to pay for a service we had already paid, we didn't have alot of spare and money definitely does talk as people had petals on tables held for them at the manic meal times. We often had to walk in and out as it was too full. Food wasn't that great, my son lived on bread and it was repeative. Very different to other all inclusive places we've been. The island was disgusting and dirty. I wouldn't return again although the kids had fun, it was a long transfer, and more cost than we planned but still a nice hot holiday for October. It just didn't really show off turkey all that well I thought especially now as I'm 4 weeks down the line still suffering with the effects of salmonella.

Immaculate place, room was cleaned to a high standard everyday. Food very average, very repetitive, prepare for a long queue to get your dinner, food wasn’t overly warm. You have to pay for spirits after 11pm, you have to pay extra if you want a cocktail. Staff weren’t overly friendly, hassled you quite a bit asking if you wanted to try the restaurants you have to pay for. People reserve their sun beds the night before or very early in the morning. Great for kids with the water park etc but other than that it wasn’t much to write home about. Wouldn’t stay here again.

We arrived home Tuesday after a lovely week here. I’m going to mention the only bad bit first, when we arrived at the hotel after travelling all day, when the guy at reception started his speech about how the Marin hotel (next door) was much nicer than here, even showed us pictures comparing, he obviously wanted us to pay to upgrade, I politely declined and said we were more than happy with the village, he then got quite stroppy, gave us our room key and didn’t bother to explain where our room was, didn’t even give us our wristbands, which we went back the next morning and sorted them ourselves! But like I said, that was the only bad part We couldn’t fault the hotel at all, rooms were lovely, cleaned daily and the maids were very friendly The restaurant was nice, we enjoyed breakfast, was lots to choose from, same with the evening meals, the staff were really friendly, especially Ahmet who made a fuss of our boy and he enjoyed seeing him every day The facilities were great, we only used the pools and slides here on one of the day as we spent our days at the Island which was fantastic, the slides were amazing, our 6 yr old had the best time, so did we. The lunch here was delicious, so much choice, enjoyed it very much. All in all we had a great week here, and would most definitely come back. Also to mention we read the bad reviews and were slightly worried but no need to be, we eat and drank, went in all the pools, in fact our son was in the water more than he was out of it, no sickness!!

OK so I will simply bullet point this holiday for you based on a family of four (2 x Adults & 2 x Kids aged 15 & 12) Rooms - We were on the ground floor of Apple block, constantly plagued by ants in the bathroom which we had to floor before using. If you had any crumbs or spills just make sure you clean up or be prepared for an army of them. Our bed was broke on one side and the TV only has the news Chanel in English. Could not be bothered complaining as we only slept and showered in the room so it did the job but I wouldn't pay the money again for these kind of rooms. Simply out dated with only one TV in one bedroom even though we had a two bedroomed apartment. Staff - Old man on reception cant talk English and is very grumpy! Small man on the lobby bar of an evening in a blue t-shirt absolutely miserable. There are better bar staff who should take his job like the ones in the day who are more energetic and happy to have banter. Most staff don't really talk English so be prepared when asking for advice etc. Restaurant - Your asked if you want to pay 1 Euro for orange juice, we didn't as it should be all inclusive but to then be asked at your table by the same person every morning became annoying. The food isn't that good to be honest, unless you like a tone of bread, sloppy cakes, yoghurt with everything, just about cooked eggs, a huge queue for an omelette or toast or coffee...and that's just breakfast!! if you want my opinion on the dinner and tea well its just the same as the above but expect a lot of stew type dishes as it is Turkey but not really much options for kids other than chips, spaghetti and sauce. Bars - Pretty lame!!! only two bars open when the pools close which is a small lobby bar (with the miserable fella) they don't do the spirits here so you have to go to the large pool bar!! although there is queues, if you take big cups with you they will fill them. Other than that its 8-9 Euros for any cocktails which are shocking! my wife got a Daiquiri which was just a slush with vodka, not a thick type!! The cups are minging, they smell like damp rags and really smelly so we were happy with the big cups. Entertainment - Mediocre to be honest, although they try their best, there was no certificates etc for the winners or announcements like all other holidays in other countries we have been to which kind of makes the point of the kids winning things better. The shows were poor, we saw a bubble show which was terrible, an acrobatic show which did the same things for an hour, a Mr Show which was lame, A karaoke night which if it wasn't for the husband and wife who sang Whitney and tome jones it was terrible too. The island - The slides were good for the kids but we didn't stay down there because it just got absolutely chokka with chav families and kids who as you can imagine probably have asbos are just running wild. Dont get me wrong, i know kids are kids but there's kids and there's kids who you just think.....take them home! The s
