Palmiye Turkey

We have stayed at this hotel 5 times already. This is the best hotel for those who love sports. Everything was at the highest level, as always! There were great food, comfortable rooms and a lot of sports.

Violetta, thank you very much for quickly solving all our problems with staying at the hotel.

Many thanks from my family and me to the waiter Murat. Thank you for your job. He always quickly and efficiently solved all our problems. He helped to book a restaurant, book tables on the field.

I stayed second time during this summer in Palmiye. First stay was with my family and than I returned with my best friend to celebrate her birthday in late September.

As a big surprise came to me the change of waterskiing G.O. team during the same season. Although I really loved new team (Thomas and Aslan, thank you!), in June activity was much better organised. In September it was obvious that only 2 G.O. can’t organize all willing to try G.M. More than that I had serious concerns about safety (especially, beginners safety). Sometimes beginners were allowed to go even during big waves (which was hard for advanced) without any precautions or they were left without G.O. supervision from starting deck and other G.M.s were forced to correct/instruct them.
I think you just need more G.O.s there, may be someone more experienced and apply stricter rules (as it all was during 3 previous summers).

Reception team… as always :) you should definitely do something with them. This time I discovered that I should guess (somehow) that a special form for birthday celebration should be filled in. No one told me this when I said about my friend’s birthday and no communication I received when I mentioned that fact in booking a-la-cart restaurant.

However, there were much more positive moments and memories than negative ones.

I would like to thank all G.O’s for perfect holiday. And I would like to highlight specifically some of them.
Restaurant&Bar: Vedat, Umut and Celo, head waiter (I guess) Yasin and restaurant manager Fatih as well as cook Mehmet, Alihan from ZenZone

Ferzen in September transferred to sailing team. Many thanks to his patience, I was awful on sailing till this September, he explained everything I think 100 times and finally I managed to do it on my own, without any problems. Basically he was the G.O. that explained me how to waterskii several summers ago. Combo!)

Coco, Arnaud and Titouan thank you for new tricks on flying trapeze!

Already booked next year stay :)

Lots of other children for my kids to make friends with.
Full range of sports/activities available most days (except when no wind or too many waves for water skiing). The restaurant variety was superb and the staff very efficient to clear the tables. Highly recommended

My children are now in there teens and absolutely love ClubMed in Palmiye. Food is fantastic, although Gluten Free is very limited but there is a great selection. Staff are amazing and always full of energy! Rooms are spacious and clean. Amazing holiday and will definitely be going back.

I review, often...but am actually lost for words this time.

How was the resort? Outstanding.

How was my accommodation?Amazing.

How was the food? Fabulous..and I'm really fussy being a Pescatarian.

How were the staff? Attentive, helpful and professional.

What about the facilities and activities? Awesome..

The pools...Zen Pool Hotel was tranquil, being adult only..Zen Pool Villagio, again adult only, but more upbeat...and the perfect place to have a fun time for a few hours. The other family pools and activity pools were spotless places to enjoy.

Sporting activities..loved the daily exercise classes, circus skills, archery...too many to mention.

Evenings...so much going on. Gala and themed evenings...all beautifully presented...showstopper "shows" plus live music in different areas..don't miss the adult open-air night club..

The grounds, beach and accommodation setting...totally tranquil and beautifully kept.

I visited with a large group, Dance Action Holidays, and have re-booked for next year without a moments hesitation!
