Advantages: Friendly staff, great weather, lovely hotel, okay food
Disadvantages: the entertainment is mainly focused on children

...a 2 week visit to Club Mermaid Village Aparthotel with my family (I visited there in August). When I got back I was really sad to be back as I had such a great time there! Club Mermaid Village Aparthotel is a 4 star, all inclusive aparthotel near Alanya. It is quite secluded but I found that this wasn't an issue as I liked the hotel and people there so much! There are two blocks. One is the hotel with 5 levels of rooms, a basement and a lobby. And ...
...rooms and 2 story apartments. When we first arrived we were shocked by the lack of English, but gradually more English came and then on our second week it was mainly English. Rooms I stayed on level 4 of the hotel block. The room was 1 room which had a double bed, a single bed and a single camp bed, and a bathroom which had a shower/bath. The room also had a television, a phone which allowed you to contact reception, a safe (extra charge), ... Read review

Disadvantages: Russians, hotel restaurant.

First impressions, this is not a 4 start hotel as marketed. When you enter the hotel, it appears quite basic. The reception staff were limited in their english and not particularly helpful when we arrived for check-in. They had not recieved or lost some of our papers (they said vouchers?!?) and so we were delayed somewhat, but were then taken to our room by the bell-boy. The rooms are reasonable, again basic, but clean. They have a small en-suite ...
...rest of the room. The tiny television doesn't show english programmes however! The food leaves something to be desired. If you dont like Russians then I highly recommend not going! They run (literally run) to the restaurant and finish most of the food within the first half hour! This is for breakfast, lunch and dinner. This makes queing for meals very tedious. The pool is quite nice and there are plenty of activities throughout the day offered by ... Read review
