Holiday Village Turkey

We stayed at the Holiday Village in Sarigerme for 1 week from the 9th October 2019. This hotel is fantastic. We travelled as a couple and although it is a Holiday Village with plenty of activities to occupy families with children, it is large enough to find a quiet place to get away from the action. The hotel is located close to Dalaman airport so the transfer took only about 15 minutes. Check in was quick. We had a kids den room which was large and spotless and included tea and coffee making facilities, free safe and aircon. Large comfortable bed. TV had quite a few UK TV channels including ITV, BBC1 and sport channels. The whole hotel is kept clean and staff are very friendly (special shout out to Ilyas who kept the beers coming). Although at first the hotel complex seems large, it doesn't take long to get your bearings and only takes 5 minutes to walk from reception to the beach. There are a few shops below the hotel and an arcade including 10 pin bowling. Beach towels can be obtained from the spa. The main Olympus buffet restaurant offers a varied selection of food with themed nights. There are also themed restaurants (Asian, Turkish, Italian and Chillin' & Grillin'). There is also the snack bar by the main pool during the day and the beach bar which turns into a disco between 10pm and 2am. There are various bars scattered across the complex (Beach bar, pool bar, activity bar, Aegean lobby bar) and we never had to queue for more than a minute as the staff served drinks quickly. The beach area was quiet with plenty of sunbeds if you needed to get away for a bit of peace. Daily entertainment around the main pool, evening entertainment in the ampitheatre or quizzes in the activity bar. Wifi was good and available across the whole hotel including the beach. Also download / scan in the Holiday Village digital assistant which allows you to see whats on, book the themed restaurants and access information about your stay. We got a cheap deal but even if it had cost us more, it would have been well worth it. We would recommend this hotel and we would return with no hesitation. Thanks to all at the Holiday Village Sarigerme.

This is the first Holiday Village we have gone to and we didn't have children with us, our daughter is 18. There was no problems though, even though it was the height of the season and lots of young children around there were enough pools and areas for everyone! The only negative we could find really was the entertainment in the evening, we have had some cracking entertainment in different hotels in Turkey before where they have brought in different forms of entertainment, singers, locals etc. We found it quite boring and basic and very uncomfortable and definitely did not keep our daughter entertained at all. The quiz at the pool bar was good but some of the other games went on a little too long. Otherwise everything was lovely, food was great, transfer times are excellent, surprised at the lack of people on the beach but we found it lovely. The resort was well kept and everyone seemed to work very hard! We would return again, maybe at a different time of year but that's no reflection on the hotel!
