Akka Alinda Hotel

There was one waiter who was lovely - I can't remember his name (Bakkar?) - he looks like Roger Federer's cousin! He was really nice. The Zumba instructor was also friendly. The third room we got given (after a LOT of insistence) was nice.

This hotel is not worthy of being called 5 star. I have a few bullet points to summarise everything that was awful, but I will expand below. Summary: - The reception staff were TERRIBLE. Worst I've ever come across and hopefully ever will. - Staff were pervy and inappropriate to women. - The "apartment" rooms were very dirty. - The food was so bad; not vegetarian friendly; almost all dairy products had gone bad; no variety through the week we stayed there; not real Turkish food at all. - The drinks were awful; cocktails were almost pure sugar; they had only machine coffee; had to pay extra for fresh juices. - The AC is turned off in the bedrooms after November, even though the rooms are stuffy and temperature was almost 30 during the day. - Awarded as an environmental hotel, but all water is given in plastic bottles, the cleaning staff leave the lights on, new towels are placed in the rooms even when you don't leave them on the floor. - A lot of facilities were closed; a number of their restaurants, the pier was dismantled a few days into our stay; the sunbeds were removed from the beach front too. So now, the details: **Continued in photos attached because I've exceeded the word limit**
