Elit Garden Apart Hotel

This was booked as my first holiday as an 18 yr old with my friend. I quite like the hotel - it was small and basic but clean and that's what mattered and very cheap. We were all inclusive, there was always something to eat (even for my fussy eater friend although she did complain), chips are out every day. The drinks aren't strong but I still got drunk after a few lol... Easy to walk into the town for restaurants, bars etc, and just outside is an amazing little tourism shop with the day trips etc. My friend made us move because of an issue with staff (which to be honest she caused) and management were very helpful, upgrading us to the sister hotel (Rainbow) which was stunning.

On arrival 30 sept we were greeted by a lovely older gent who took our bags and booked us in. We were given a choice of ground 3rd or 4th floor beens as it was 1am we just opted for ground floor to get to bed...bit of a mistake...The older gent got us a coffee n we went to bed. Basic room with air con and TV plenty storage only down fall was mouldy bathroom certain need

ok so after booking my holiday and getting the details from the agent ,my partner and myself decided to research the hotel and area we were staying in . we were pretty shocked at some of the reviews of the hotel on here and a bit worried to be honest !! When we arrived at the Elit Garden hotel at around 1130 pm, we were met by an older gentleman who spoke very little english .He was very helpful and even offered to order takeaway if we wanted food .We were shown a choice of rooms to choose from and he carried our fairly heavy suitcase up the stairs to the room we had selected .Once we had put out things in our room we wwent to the outside bar area for a drink as it had been a long day ,it was explained that drinks would be 'extra' as the all inclusive was between 10 am and 10 pm. this was fine . In the rest of our holiday i can sum up very simply ,the staff are great and as helpful as they can be with limited english .The rooms are clean and presentable ,with air con (although fairly small) .Also you might like to ask for extra pillows . As mentioned earlier the all inclusive is only from 10 am till 10 pm for drinks . The food is fairly poor to be honest ,you could live on it and the staff eat it so cant be that terrible .Also regarding the above comments about birds and flies etc.,the birds are tiny sparrows that hop around the floor looking for crumbs (we only saw 2-3 at any one time),The flies well it seems this is just normal for Turkey there are flies pretty well every where we went to eat in Turkey !!!. So all in all a great hotel if you dont expect the ritz !! .You should not think of it as all inc ,more like a room with free drinks and a pool !! we ate out almost every day ,but when a main meal and drinks for 2 comes in at around 12-15 quid its not bad . One last thing ,there is a Mosque closeby ,the first day or so it will suprise you with loud singing/chanting every 4 hours starting at about 6 am ,this is a muslim country !!!
