Arnor De Luxe Hotel & Spa

I booked last minute so it was down to price and because it had good reviews. We stayed for 2 weeks - we are from London. Two weeks can be done as long as you break it up and do outings etc. I think it is better to stay less than two weeks but you can make it work... I wouldn't stay here again but if you are going then I would recommend going to the beach as much as possible - the food is much better, I don't ever eat pizza but the pizzas were so good on the beach. The other food was nicer too compared to the main restaurant. Go to the old town on the coast which is a 10 euro taxi ride away and eat there just to get away from the all inclusive mode and for a change of scenery. It is really beautiful with old ruins and lovely restaurants on the coast. The tourist shops were over priced but nice to look around. It is a noisy hotel but we were able to sleep as you just blank it out as we were so relaxed by bed time. The hotel is a shell - poorly insulated for noise...but if I can deal with it then most people could - take ear plugs. Some of our friends were too hot in there rooms with huge windows - air con is off over easter! They went to the mall and bought fans. The hotel need to reconsider this...some rooms face the sun so some guests will need it. Bring a travel iron as they don't supply them. There is a launderette about 10 mins walk away - the hotel prices are ridiculous. I would bring some Turkish money but do not wait for the airport or the cash machines as they charge and don't give a good rate. If you book tours do that online and not from the tourist offices as they over charge, If you do any of the day trips such as the jeep safari bring your own food - £4 for an ice cream. The hotel restaurant used way too much salt (I like salt but this was crazy). I got food poisoning from eating the Turkish bread with meat made near the pool. So go for the veg version. Bring electrolytes and any meds you need. Some of the food was ok - they had a grill outside the main restaurant so check that out. I would just be prepared to eat out at times. Trying to book the other restaurant in the hotel was a nightmare - we didn't make it once in two weeks. They need to change the booking process of queuing a few days before in the office. The pasta station was good for kids... The animation team were great with the kids. I would suggest that the mini disco to have different formats and music as it just got repetitive and it was too loud after a few days. The day activities were fun,... the t-shirt painting they announce has a 16 euro cost which they don't tell you about until later so I wish they were clearer with things like this. The area immediately outside the hotel is residential and let's it down - not much going on so be prepared to walk/take taxis.
