Kosdere Club Hotel

As the other reviews state, this hotel is mostly for Russians and Germans. If you do not speak Russian, German, or Turkish you might want to stay somewhere else. The positives were that the beach was very close, the food was included, the air conditioning worked great, and the hotel was very clean. The negative list is unfortunately much longer... I debated between 2 and 3 stars, but decided that it was indeed an average hotel, not a 'poor' hotel. Because the food was included this meant you had very little choice with regards to protein. As I'm not much of a liver fan, and my husband doesn't much care for fish, we ended up eating rice and veggies for more than one meal. Furthermore, I'm convinced that all of the cakes were made of play doh (although the turkish desserts like baklava were quite tasty). Bottled water served at the tables was simply refilled from the tap, not a new bottle like they would hope you to believe. Finally, all of the drinks were watered down, this includes orange juice, pepsi, and even wine. And yes, the lines for dinner were quite long. The beds were HARD, and so were the pillows. When we asked at reception for softer pillows, they could not understand, or maybe did not care. When the maid came to clean the room, she would keep knocking till we answered the door. I found this annoying, as it woke me up a few times. The maid would also leave the balcony door open, letting out all of our cold air! Another note on the rooms - the walls were very thin. We could (unfortunately) hear everything our neighbors were up to. The elevator was very slow, and sometimes the power went out, so we had to walk up 5 flights of stairs multiple times a day. There were a total of two staff members who were kind to me. The rest had a very rude attitude and didn't seem to care whether the guests were happy or not. The spa staff were really annoying and would ask you if you wanted to book a massage about 2 times a day. The beach was quite rocky and slimy (but lots of chairs and umbrellas). My husband and I went over to another hotel 10 minutes down the road (Pegasus something hotel?) to go diving and saw that their beach was sandy and beautiful! Sure, once you are swimming it is alright, but if you are walking in the water, watch out for the rocks. Each night after dinner there was a mini disco for children, followed by some loud music for adults. I didn't run too late, but you can hear it in your hotel room. No free wifi either! So, if you have a free stay here, go for it... but I wouldn't recommend paying!

fantastic place to stay. we stayed here for a week last year and had a wonderful time. hotel was clean, bright and attractive. staff really were nice and smiley. when we left we were sad but know wwould return when next in Turkey.

Stayed here last July with my husband and 2 teenage sons. We were the only british there, hotel is nice as stated below however there are very long food queue`s. Rooms are small we paid for a 2bed apt got a 1bed with living area. Told by hotel manager who bare faced lied to us !! that this was their largest room, however later found out when we met a family later the second week who were staying in the new block and saw their room which was a very large 2 bedroom apt no comparison to were we stayed. Would only recommend this hotel to anyone who is not british.
