Advantages: Good Beachfront location Disadvantages: Food not good entertainment even worse
...Background Info (Just so you get the full picture)
Whilst on a holiday to Turkey (Fethiye) in 2003 we were fortunate enough to make friends with a German couple who we have remained very good friends with ever since (we have just returned from a wonderful week in a Mallorcan Finca with them).
Last year they asked us if we would like to spend a week in Turkey with them in October. We decided we would go but unfortunately the selected club (Majesty Sunflower Beach) was not serviced by any British tour operators so this meant that we had to travel to Germany to make our trip together to Turkey.
Our Journey There

...with sunflower spread (vegetarian meals tend to be lumped together with vegan meals by airlines for their convenience). For dessert there was a fruit salad containing chunks of mango that were so large I had to cut them with the plastic knife I'd used for my curry. The salad also contained blood orange segments and a sliver of kiwi fruit. I also discovered that alcoholic beverages cost US$5.00 or £3.00 in Economy (complimentary in Business/First Class). All soft drinks, teas and coffees are free. They staff do come round regularly with cups of water or other drinks.
Hot drinks were good business as the air con was turned up to the max in our part of the plane (wandering about the temperature was more pleasant in other parts) with even the strapping Texan chap next to me huddling under his blanket. Some people sat with their coats...

I love roast dinners, especially the roast potatoes. Now I’ve found a way to have my “roasties” without all the extra saturated fat and calories they usually soak up from the cooking oil.
The answer is Fry Light Sunflower Oil... more
