“Great Week in The Sun”

Had a great time at the Grand Emir. It has lovely outside space, well maintained pools and gardens, and didn’t feel crowded. Certainly no problems getting a sun lounger at any time of the day, and plenty of places to shade from the sun. It was about a 20 minute walk to the bars and restaurants, or … more

Had a great time at the Grand Emir. It has lovely outside space, well maintained pools and gardens, and didn’t feel crowded. Certainly no problems getting a sun lounger at any time of the day, and plenty of places to shade from the sun. It was about a 20 minute walk to the bars and restaurants, or a 4 minute journey in a taxi. Friendly staff, with a special mention to Arif, and Zarife on reception.

As a family we have enjoyed a 10 day stay here. The hotel is lovely very pretty to look at. Rooms are clean and modern,cleaned daily with fresh towels. 3 nice pool areas one with all the slides was were we spent most of our days. A big shout out to Arif (my husbands special friend) as upon a late night arrival we was offered 2 rooms which we only booked one but Arif sorted this straight away for us easing our tired minds. Arif went above and beyond to help us with any of our enquiries throughout the whole stay. The reason for 4 stars was just that we was only bed and breakfast so haven't sampled all Inclusive. The breakfast was a small option and could maybe have slightly more to cater for English too. It would also be a bonus if the small bar and shop were open although the amazing town centre is a 10 minute walk. We found a lovely small local burger place called sheche which was lovely and reasonably priced with lovely owners too. We also enjoyed jiks for simple English dinners and China Town. There are plenty of traditional Turkish eats too which we also had no faults with. We had a fantastic day out on a boat to the mud baths, hot springs and turtle beach which for 60 odd pounds for 4 of us Including lunch was fantastic. Overall we have had a fantastic holiday and would love to come again. Thank you grand emir.

“Nice big hotel with plenty facilities.”

Nice big hotel based a 15 minute walk fron the centre. Free air-con was a bonus as the weather was in the 40s everyday and kept the good sized room nice and cool.

Nice big hotel based a 15 minute walk fron the centre. Free air-con was a bonus as the weather was in the 40s everyday and kept the good sized room nice and cool. Room 105 we had on the ground floor overlooking the pool was perfect with a nice en-suite and shower. Only gripe with the room was there was not really enough wardrobe/hanging space so you live off an arm chair or out the suitcase. Great bar prices with plenty food choices and the chef will russle up anything you fanct in a jiffy. We went B&B but you can upgrade to AI on anyday of the week that suits you if you have good flight times its great to do the AI the day before you leave:-) All staff are brilliant and very helpful. They will call you a Taxi if you want to take one into town, arrange boat trips, and walk round with a smile all day. The hotel has a great spa and massage centre with very reasonable prices. We used to just eat and drink on a tab then pay at the hotel desk next morning using our phone everything is so easy here and the WIFI was great. You will be footsteps away from the regular Saturday market so easy to get bag with your bags full of discount shopping. Lovely hotel in a peaceful location with plenty facilities. Thankyou to all the staff here for making our holiday. We hope to see you next year. XXX Rob and Trish, Whitley Bay.

“Run down and lacks personality”

We arrived at this hotel at 4am due to our flight being cancelled and placed here to wait out the delay. On first impressions it was a little run down and tired.

We arrived at this hotel at 4am due to our flight being cancelled and placed here to wait out the delay. On first impressions it was a little run down and tired. We were given a family room that slept 3 with a double and a single bed - this was sufficient for myself and 2 children. The room was clean, with clean bedding and towels provided. There is no safe provided and the fridge was brown and dirty looking. The beds are hard as rock and only 1 pillow per person. Breakfast was Turkish style with both hot and cold options. No juice or hot drinks were provided only water! Lunch again was Turkish style but there was pasta, rice and 2 meat options of chicken or minced meat. Again only water was available for us. The children used the water slide area and the pools but there is maintenance required around these areas as they are run down with missing tiles and overgrown trees. We didn’t have a choice to stay at this hotel but if I did then I would definitely make complaints as the website shows nothing like our experience
