Holiday Village Turkiye

This is a great property with plenty of pools, bars and kids activities. The staff is extremely polite and attentive and it makes a huge difference. The food spread is decent with a wide variety for Vegetarians, meat lovers and kids - something for everyone and the hours are extended so you don't have to rush to eat in a 2 hour window. The beach is alright and bit co**** ( not as sandy as you'd expect a top beach) but that's nothing to do with the property. The family rooms are split into two and have 2 separate TVs which is handy when travelling with kids. We're here now and will happily come back.

We had a nice family holiday here during the October half term. The food is absolutely amazing and we loved the variety we received on a daily basis. It's a real family friendly hotel and the HV kids' club provide a vast amount of activities to keep children entertained. We sent our 7 year old and 3 year old and they both had a ball. The evening entertainment for the kids was spot on too, with dance competitions - ways of getting the parents involved and opportunities for the kids to go on stage. The kids loved ending their day in the amphitheatre and they really looked forward to what shows the animation team would put on everyday.

So much for everyone. Food and accommodation excellent. Would go back time and time again with the family. Restaurant manager was excellent and we had someone with dairy and gluten allergies so they cooked a special evening meal for him every night. Plenty of choices for every meal and with it being all inclusive, free drinks too.

A decent enough resort - nice pools, well laid-out and the staff are all brilliant, really lovely. The food was mostly very good, though one member of our party of nine did get very bad food poisoning (me). These things are inevitable when you’re catering for so many people on such a huge scale though, so I accept that as just bad luck. It’s also a good place to visit if you’re after knock-off designer stuff, as the town is basically wall to wall knock-off shops, with a few bars and restaurants. Shout out also to the very good barbers at the bottom end of the main street, who did me a great shave and gave my Dad a thorough (and hysterical) ear and nose waxing. Worth every penny. However, my reason for not giving more stars, as I’m rating the overall experience, is the behaviour of some guests, which the resort could be doing something about. The amount of noise, particularly late at night, was simply unacceptable for a family resort. We were lucky our 3 year old is a heavy sleeper, but we were kept awake ourselves or woken up by people coming back late to their rooms shouting, slamming doors and generally making a racket. Our neighbours came back and watched Britain’s Got Talent at full volume on TV the other night, so loud I could make out what the judges were saying! Slamming doors was a particular theme, as that happened day and night, often by unsupervised kids who also yelled at each other constantly. Noise was a bit of an issue more broadly too, as the evening entertainment is delivered at a ridiculous volume, so can be heard clearly from the rooms. Again, not great if you have young kids as it goes on quite late. Sitting in the actual amphitheatre, our daughter spent most of the bits we watched with her hands over her ears as it was just way too loud. The kids’ entertainment is also more or less exactly the same show every night, which got fairly tedious after a week. I say the hotel could be doing something more about the noise because frankly they could. They could easily make a polite request to keep noise down after a certain time in the room blocks and put up some signs to the same effect. It won’t stop everyone determined to yell at 1am outside other people’s rooms, but it would be a start. They could also turn down the entertainment volume just a smidge, as it really won’t affect the audience experience. It might actually improve it.

Great, not perfect stay. The entertainment is good for the kids. Mine enjoyed stage academy, and the british TUI team are great at their job. One thing sticks in my mind a a down point, and so many agreed... The drinks are absolutley awful - im talking not drinkable - im not fussy, but just spent my 2 weeks drinking water. We want to come back this summer, but i am hoping somehow they improve the drinks!! please holiday village, sort this out. Also the ice cream bar, which is not open enough hours in my opinion. rooms nice, but wish we had more in the room drinks wise.... maybe water, coke and fanta? just water is rubbish! holiday village rhodes you get loads more. these little things would make a huge difference, but overall lovely time.

Best holiday we have ever been on! From start to finish this hotel came nothing short of amazing! We travelled as a family 4a & 2c Arrival - we booked with Basket Travel and paid for the private transfer after an early morning flight and landing in temperatures that felt like you on the sun it was well worth it! Fabulous service will definitely use again. Arriving at the hotel we were checked in straight away there was no wait and our bags were at our room just before we were. The staff were lovely even walking to our hotel room everyone was saying hello. Food - We all agreed this was the best all inclusive food we have ever had. Everything was fresh and super tasty. Having food cooked and prepared in front of you really impressed the kids and they loved the fact they had their own section where they could go choose what they wanted to eat. For us the main draw to this hotel in regard to the food and traveling with children would be lunch time. The fact you can eat outside and not have to get the kids fully dressed to have lunch is amazing and the food options are amazing we thought it would be pizza/burger/nuggets and chips how wrong we were and we were super surprised at the quality of food served at all meal times. Drinks - we took our own cups to keep them cold for longer the staff were brilliant no questions asked they just filled them. Alcohol sorry we can’t comment on that I’m not a big drinker especially on holiday unfortunately so I couldn’t comment on this. Staff - everyone was amazing super friendly and they work sooooo hard so deserve the recognition! Entertainment - Fabulous! Matty was a brilliant host and got the crowed going every night he was on stage. The entertainment crew work so hard from morning until night it’s go go go the entertainment doesn’t stop! Bingo round the pool was a massive hit with our kids they loved it! The shows in a night were great you could see a lot of time and effort goes into making the shows and we really enjoyed them. We even got up on stage a couple of times winning the Russels Hustle t-shirt. We really couldn’t rate this holiday enough it’s has something for everyone we loved it so much we booked to go back this year whilst laid on our sunbed last year. HV Turkey is brilliant well done guys see you soon!

Perfect family holiday for all ages. My family of 5, 2 adults and three kids (14,13, and 10), visited holiday village turkey for 10 days. And when I say it was the best 10 days we have spent in the sun I mean it! We visited the beginning of the summer holidays, with expectations that the resort would be very busy and crowded due to the time of year. However we were very pleasantly surprised to find that no areas were overly busy. The activity pool is by far the busiest, here the HV crew host quizzes, bingo, pool games etc. I would highly recommend the bingo, but be warned it is rigged. By the end of our holiday we noticed patterns of who was winning (for a free float your best bet is your youngest child!). If you’re looking for a more relaxing holiday I’d definitely recommend a sun bed by the quiet pool, you can find these towards the right of the resort. There are always sun beds here, and a much quieter pool. At our stay we saw maybe 7 kids in the most at one time. Queue for the slides are relatively small, but I wouldn’t rush to get there because they are nothing special. I can’t express enough how much you need to get your kids in the kids clubs!!! My eldest was quite put off by the clubs before the holiday, I think she thought it would be boring. But quite the opposite. The Zone (teen club) had numerous activities, that she didn’t want to miss out on. And before we knew it she was in every session. She found a lovely group of friends, whom she is still in contact with now. My 13 year old did try out some of the sessions, and enjoyed. However he preferred to do his own thing with his father, despite this he still spent his time with the zone kids in the evening. And my youngest (the most shy out of my kids) also attended a club and found a lovely couple of friends, whom she spent her days with. A big shout out to mirade (I hope I’ve spelt that right), and Emily who ran the zone club sessions. My kids absolutely loved them. Also I would recommend the water polo, the zones take on it was a bit rough but all the kids loved this (I don’t think it was meant to be like this, but the kids got very competitive!). I know I’ve already said this but please try out a kids club atleast once! The food was great, no complaints. I do like myself a bit of cheese but the selection was quite bland and flavourless, however I’ve found this with most all inclusives. By far our favourite meal was lunch, the selection was good, and very tasty. It was also open for quite a while, so the kids could help themselves later on if they were still hungry. We did go to an al a carte restaurant, the service was great. We only went once in our stay, purely because we felt the buffet catered for us more. By the end of the holiday however, we were dying for a bag of crisps. They may sell some in the shops at the resort, however we didn’t look. Overall, we didn’t feel like anybody was pushing for a tip, apart from one time with the two young men who helped take our bags to

Although the rooms are small, they are well appointed. Daily (mostly) cleaning with fresh towels. Downside is can be noisy into the small hours with banging doors and running/shouting teens. Take your own hairdryer, the one provided was tempestuous and would incinerate rather than dry hair. Restaurants are excellent. Buffet is varied, beautifully presented and a high standard. There are times on the wall outside that indicate ‘calmer’ slots. Only tried the grill a la carte and service snd food excellent. I did not like the lunch buffet, mostly due to it being outside and flies on the salads, large queues and fewer tables. Amenities are fabulous, sun beds are available up to about 11am, but after that not a chance so if you do a morning activity best stick a towel out! I do recommend the spa, Turkish bath. If you see yamen around, selling slots, be advised that fees are negotiable! The barber also great, gave my husband the works and that was haircut, shave, wax, mask and massage. He was a restored man. The speed boat morning tour (2 hours) excellent value for money and brilliant guides. Also Dalyan at dusk was a highlight, even my 15 yo was impressed. Finally I would say the army of incredible staff, who were helpful, polite, fastidious worked incredibly hard despite some trying guests. My only gripe is that the only quiet pools are far away from amenities but still full of loud children. One adult only area would have been warmly welcomed.
