debbie rated the Greenlands Hotel as follows: Cleanliness Location Staff Food Entertainment	said: we stayed at the greenland for a week in early september, we arrived early hours of the morn and was taken to our room, the room was loveley, very modern clean and some nice little touches. when we woke in the morn to brilliant sunshine opened the balcony doors wow fantastic hotel,pool area was clean,plenty of sunloungers,the bar area was clean and bar staff were friendly and helpful.food was plentiful and everything you can imagine was on the menu. location of hotel was a bit out the way but easy to get a dolmus into the next town just a short stroll down to the main road and put your hand out and the bus will stop. entertainment was ok we didnt stay in the hotel much of an evening but when we did it was ok, the dj and entertainment crew did there best to keep everyone happy. the hotel staff in all areas were absolutely loveley they were all really friendly and nothing was too much trouble. we loved this hotel so much we have booked for sept but staying 10 days this time.
sharon from hull travelled to Greenlands Hotel with holidays4u on a family holiday. There were 3 adults and 1 child(ren) in the party. The travel date was 05 2010
sharon rated the Greenlands Hotel as follows: Cleanliness Location Staff Food Entertainment	said: Stayed for 1 week during whit week school break, two sons 13 and 17, was booked for a family room to be told on arrival there were none available so we were given two rooms next to each other, this worked out quite well but if children were younger i would have been more annoyed and found out that this happened to other families also!! so they are obviously over booking the rooms?? Apart from that, we had a lovely time, food was lovely, cannot fault it, if anything its too good and we never stopped eating!! there also is a lack of entertainment for teens, if they started the kiddie disco earlier then just had music for all ages later instead of the laughable "entertainment" provided?? I think that alone would be a huge improvement.
Andrea from rhyl travelled to Greenlands Hotel with thomas cook on a couples holiday. There were 2 adults and 0 child(ren) in the party. The travel date was 05 2010
Andrea rated the Greenlands Hotel as follows: Cleanliness Location Staff Food Entertainment	said: We were given a room on the middle floor . I did e-mail before hand asking for a top floor room but no such luck. After only sleeping in the room for the first night we decided to upgrade to a deluxe room . they gave us 10 nights for the price of 8. at the cost of £ 164.00. And for us it was the right decission. It was light ,airy ,it had a bath just so much nicer than a standard room. The food was great . The Staff are friedly . The big let down was the intertainment. Nothing much to do for the kids but then most are happy to play in the pool all day. We would stay at the greenland again at the right price and only in an deluxe room. We did have a brilliant holiday
Alan & Sheila from Washington travelled to Greenlands Hotel with Thomas Cook on a couples holiday. There were 2 adults and 0 child(ren) in the party. The travel date was 05 2010
Alan & Sheila rated the Greenlands Hotel as follows: Cleanliness Location Staff Food Entertainment	said: The Hotel is in a very quiet location, surrounded by green hills.Allthough it is a bit of a walk up the hill from the main road, as it is all inclusive most people never left the complex. the negatives- the main complaint was the entertainment, the Pub opened at 9.00am with a kiddies disco at 9.30 for approx.15 mins. wich was disgusting as the kids, especially the girls were all dressed up in there best clothes and only wanted to dance, i think most of them had made friends with each other and think that the entertainment team which cosisted of a MC, a turkish lad of about 25/27 years old and Sara who danced with the children could have given the kids at least 30-45 mins as the kids still were still on the dance floor after, this would have given the parents a break and i am sure that people booked the hotel for the entertainment! The adult part of the entertainment consisted of Bingo, Quizes, Kareoki etc. however they brought in over period of two weeks, Break dancers, Belly dancer, Russian dancers and a local Turkish dance troup. The accomadation in the old part of the complex is vary dated and tired however we were informed that at the end of this season all the older blocks are being re-vamped and brought up to the standard of the new part. The whole complex is built on a slope and might be problem for people with walking difficulties. The positives- The food was excellent, i am a very picky eater but must have put on at least a stone in weight whilst there.breakfast consisted of different cereals, fruit, fresh bread butter,jams etc and there was a toaster, cold meats cheeses etc and cooked food, ie scrammbled eggs, eggy bread, soft boiled eggs and freshley cooked to your spec. ommlettes, fried eggs and pancakes, tea coffeee and fruit juice, water.It would take to long to list the food availble for the lunch and evening meals but i will mention the homeade soup and puddings-fantastic. This was the first A/I holiday we have had and what a gem to start with!
Geri & Trevor from Essex travelled to Greenlands Hotel with First Choice on a friends holiday. There were more than 6 adults and 1 child(ren) in the party. The travel date was 09 2009
Geri & Trevor rated the Greenlands Hotel as follows: Cleanliness Location Staff Food Entertainment	said: Hotel was in nice location, set on mountainside though not very close to Hisaronu or Olu Deniz but very easily reached by local dolmus or taxi--take nerve pills before taxi rides, if you use taxi's you won't need to book jeep safari haha!!Entertainment here was lacking unfortunately but did have 3 outside troupes visit whilst there which were quite good. Not a great variety of food but what we had was very nice and always hot. The drinks are limited which lets it down a bit (gin vodka brandy & beer available on AI - rest to be paid for) Don't expect a proper eggs & bacon brekkie - they don't do pork in Turkey. A small water park is a 10/15 min walk from hotel, the younger adults in our party went and enjoyed it. It's not really quite a 4* but then again it is a very reasonable price and you get what you pay for. Don't expect the Ritz and you won't be dissapointed! Oh and one last comment, most of staff are nice, just the odd 1 or 2 a bit moody and nothing but praise for chamber ladies...they are really nice and friendly our one was called gellish...a star in an apron!!!!

Gary from Manchester travelled to Greenlands Hotel with Regal Holidays (Kent) on a family holiday. There were 2 adults and 3 child(ren) in the party. The travel date was 08 2008
Gary rated the Greenlands Hotel as follows: Cleanliness Location Staff Food Entertainment	said: Wanted to leave on the second day,if you stay at this Hotel make sure you ask for blocks 7,8,9 that is the new part and is definately four star the rest is 2* at best.Pools are nice ,however no lifeguard and no control of the slide, first week teenager fell off and had seven stitches second week a younger boy around ten fell off from the top and was rumoured to have fractured his skull.Food in my opinion was poor with a budget of £1.50 per head per day (according to the rep)although I had heard from repeat guests that in the previous years it was really good. Staff again 50-50 some okay some could be quite rude. Management very arrogant on the two times I was unfortunate enough to have to deal with them telling me to change hotels rather deal with a issue. Some people had a good experience at this hotel but personally I would not recommend this place and will not return but I will go back to Oludinez as its a great resort with great friendly local people
Angie from Exeter, Devon travelled to Greenlands Hotel with First Choice on a family holiday. There were 5 adults and 1 child(ren) in the party. The travel date was 07 2008
Angie rated the Greenlands Hotel as follows: Cleanliness Location Staff Food Entertainment	said: This was are second year at the hotel and one that again we really enjoyed. The entertainment team had changed since last year but were just as good and kept the whole of our family occupied when required. We loved the whole holiday and are already looking to book next year. My son who is aged 12 enjoyed participating in the activities this year as he was old enough to join in with his dad. the holiday overall was a great success for us as a family and one that we will be repeating next year. We hope that some of the staff will still be present on the return of our holiday. The only critism we have is the fact that there is no way of keeping a room on unitl departure for such a large family group leaving on a late flight. The overall clkeanliness of the hotel was excellent and the staff fantastic. The food at times a little bit limited would of like more roast type meals. The location very pretty but not a lot within walking distance of it.
janie from ryde i.o.w. travelled to Greenlands Hotel with first choice on a singles holiday. There were 2 adults and 0 child(ren) in the party. The travel date was 09 2007
janie rated the Greenlands Hotel as follows: Cleanliness Location Staff Food Entertainment	said: we stayed at the greenlands from 4th sept for a week. it is in the most scenic surroundings i have ever been. we stayed in block 5, and the view of the mountains were breath taking. the rooms were very clean, but on the small side but there was only two of us,so was fine. the food was good, loads of choice, the vodka was rough,but i prefer lager anyway! the bar staff werent that happy except bozo,but they do work 16 hours a day was the reply. it was easy to get to either resort on the dolmus,fetiye is lovely really turkish, hisoranu is very brash so hasnt the same feel. we wanted to go paragliding,but ran out of time. it should cost you between 40 - 65 pounds. the entertainment was the only thing to let the hotel down, it was dire! i would definately go back to the greenlands. it is so peaceful.
wallis from dover,kent travelled to Greenlands Hotel with first choice on a family holiday. There were 5 adults and 0 child(ren) in the party. The travel date was 09 2007
wallis rated the Greenlands Hotel as follows: Cleanliness Location Staff Food Entertainment	said: the greenland hotel has got worse this year,it is a 4 star hotel but should be 1 star.we booked three rooms for my wife and i,my son and his girlfriend and 1 for our 18 yar old who is disabled.we booked a 3 week stay.the hotel was cleaned daily but only the parts you could see our room had antique cob webs.the food was basic with lunches, with the night befores leftovers most meals were luke warm or cold and i dont mean the salad.the hotel is set at the foot of mountains lovely views,unfortunately because of the location we did have one uninvited guest for lunch, a venomous snake.the hotel staff could be better if the general manager was sacked for his attitude and arrogance the hotel was overbookd and we were offered a family room when we argued he said"take the room or go"we booked may2006.because of his attitude and the state of the hotel we will not return and would not recommend it

Mary from Nottingham travelled to Greenlands Hotel with First Choice on a family holiday. There were 2 adults and 3 child(ren) in the party. The travel date was 08 2007
Mary rated the Greenlands Hotel as follows: Cleanliness Location Staff Food Entertainment	said: The hotel is set in fantastic scenery but that's about the only thing 4 star about this hotel (The Scenery) The location was in the middle of nowhere and taxis and buses are needed in order to get out & about. The hotel was pretty clean however certain aspects of it were dangerous to say the least. The slide was a death trap with puddles of water lying underneath it, on many occasions I slipped over. The childrens club area is dirty and grubby and would be more suitable as a dogs kennel. The food um yes the food it was more like camping food very cheap food and some food from the day previous was reinvented the next day. My palette has never felt so greasy. My dad lost over a stone in weight. My first time all inclusive and the only good thing was the free soft drinks and tea and coffee, the alcaholic drinks that were free were very bland, cocktails were described as blue or red say no more. The staff were the only real credit to this hotel hardworking, and very nice. This is a TRUTH site and I read this site before coming so thought it was gonna be a great place. How wrong I was.

We are returning next September with are children. Had such a lovely time you feel so relaxed there and we knew what to expect. Well worth the money we paid which was only cheap for the two of us. I would well recommend this hotel to any one brill can't wait to go back.
Paula Gibbins from Widnes travelled to Greenlands Hotel with First Choice on a family holiday. There were 2 adults and 4 child(ren) in the party. The travel date was 10 2006
Paula Gibbins rated the Greenlands Hotel as follows: Cleanliness Location Staff Food Entertainment	said: The hotel is certainly in a beautiful spot, with only the mountains as a backdrop. It is rather a steep walk up to the rooms which are set in several buildings positioned on the side of the hill. Ours was the very last building and we were shattered when we got there! The rooms themselves were not large but were clean and tidy and decorated in a traditional Turkish way. The accomodation buildings were set in pine trees which I would imagine in the heat of the summer would provide welcome shade, we travelled in the October half term and the weather although good was not scorching. The restaurant offered an excellent selection of food, including salads, cold meats and cheeses as well as a selection of hot meals each day. The food was varied but as All Inclusive hotels often do, seemed repetitive towards the end of the week, this is not a complaint however as the food was always very good, and plentiful. The restaurant staff were very friendly and made a fuss of the children. The hotel location is slightly off the beaten track, but the hotel mini bus was available every day and would take you into Olu Deniz to the beach if required. Taxis were also readily available and fairly cheap, and a bus stop was a couple of hundred yards down the hill. The entertainment in the hotel wasn't really up to much, but I think this was more to do with the fact that the hotel was due to close for the winter the day after we left and things were winding down. There was a karaoke night, a folk night but not much for the children. Most of the kids would congregate in the games room where they could play table tennis or pool or watch a movie. The pool area was lovely and the kids loved the slide, the water was freezing however, but was as to be expected at the end of October. The best thing was usually to go down to Olu Deniz were the temperature was a few degrees higher and the sea was lovely and warm. All in all a lovely relaxing holiday which was just what we needed, good food, beautiful surroundings and pleasant clean rooms.
Jackie Kettle from Whitstable travelled to Greenlands Hotel with First Choice on a family holiday. There were 3 adults and 3 child(ren) in the party. The travel date was 07 2006
Jackie Kettle rated the Greenlands Hotel as follows: Cleanliness Location Staff Food Entertainment	said: This was our 3rd visit to Turkey. On arriving at Greenland hotel we checked in very quickly, then our luggage was taken to our rooms for us. We had two rooms in the second building both rooms were very clean. Couldn't complain about anything. Everywhere we went in the hotel was clean. The food was wonderful lots of choice and plenty of it,(mum even took a video of it to show family at home)it was always very well presented and always looked fresh. The only thing about the restaurant is there is a children's room with nearly always chips which adults were eating not us because we don't eat alot of chips, but if you had children who only ate these then you were sometimes out of luck because of these selfish people. The hotel always seemed to have some sort of food at any time of day. Occasionally it was a task to get off the sunbed and go to eat because it didn't seem that long since you last ate. The hotel staff were great bar staff were exceptional very friendly & polite. The entertainment staff Ozzi Charlie & Hero worked really hard & my two teenage children were very impressed even organised coaches to clubs after work so as the younger scene could enjoy themselves without us oldies. Most of the hotel staff also went manager as well. Really felt my children were safe at all times. Would definitely visit this hotel again. Soon I hope!!!!!
janine from kent travelled to Greenlands Hotel with first choice on a family holiday. There were 4 adults and 2 child(ren) in the party. The travel date was 06 2006
janine rated the Greenlands Hotel as follows: Cleanliness Location Staff Food Entertainment	said: First impression is good. We arrived about 3 in the morning and we was greated with a smile and was helped to our rooms. Rooms are a bit small and sofa bed was very hard, Our hairdryer broke on the second day and it still wasn't fixed by the time we left ( which was two weeks ) and the other room had no towels but maids were quick to fix this. The hotel is very clean and tidy and the pool toilets were cleaned often. Nice surroundings with lots of plants and flowers. there is always someone cleaning. The pool is lovely and the slide kept everyone entertained. The pool slide is turned off around food times or when nobody is using it but all you have to do is ask the bar staff to turn it on. Food, well that's a different matter. I'm not a fussy eater and i love to eat turkish food but we all struggled to eat for two weeks. Choices are rice, over cooked chips, vegies with cheese, flan, beef or lamb stew, salad and the meat of the day and that was it. One week would be no problem but after that we started to eat out. We spoke to the rep ( who was wonderful) and she ate there a few times and agreed that something had to be done about it. The hotel is on a hill so it is not good if you have a wheel chair or pushchair, there is lots of steps. About a 40 min walk to hisaronu but there is a taxi right out side the hotel which only cost 9 lira to town. Hardly any noise from surrounding areas which was nice. The staff were all lovely and polite had a bit of a problem of bar staff serving cocktails to my 13 and 14 year old but after saying they were under age it never happened again. All the staff were keen to make you happy. Entertainment was ok. There were three of them there Hero, Ozzi and Shamer. During the day they really didn't do much apart from the occasional polo or volley ball but in the evening they really tried hard to get the guests to join in. Enertainment is on a weekly rota so if you see it in week one then its the same in week two. All in all I wouldn't go back to this hotel again basically because of the lack of good food. If they changed that then just try and stop me.

Gail Wilkes from Balloch travelled to Greenlands Hotel with First Choice on a family holiday. There were 6 adults and 1 child(ren) in the party. The travel date was 05 2006
Gail Wilkes rated the Greenlands Hotel as follows: Cleanliness Location Staff Food Entertainment	said: My family and i travelled to this hotel from Scotland, the hotel is beautifully set in the hills. The scenery is second to none, only fault was that you were to far away to walk to any of the near by towns although a short walk down the steep drive took you to the main road where you can catch a dolmus. The hotel did have a taxi rank outside. The hotel is not suitable for anyone with a disability as there is no facilities and eveything is built on a steep hill. although once you are down at the pool everything is in one place the bars and restaurant are all round the pool which was very beneficial for me as i had my 9yr old daughter with me and i could see her every move. the pool was wonderful with a great slide and a lovely baby pool for anyone with smaller children and they too have a slide of their own. The complex was very clean and the staff were great . The entertainment lads were nice and tried their best although they could make more of and effort to entertain people through the day. If you have kids this is a perfect place for you to go and your kids would love it. far better for families than couples although i could never emagine going on holiday and leaving my kids at home, but each to their own!!!!! The food was nice, but be prepared to try different things. the rooms are rather small so if there are more than two people going into one room i suggest that you ask for a family room. If you are looking for a relaxing place to take your family with good facilities then the GREENLANDS HOTEL is the place for you.I would recommend that you try it in late May early June.. JUST REMEMBER TO TAKE THE KIDS..............
Jez from Yeovil travelled to Greenlands Hotel with first choice on a family holiday. There were more than 6 adults and 5 child(ren) in the party. The travel date was 09 2005
Jez rated the Greenlands Hotel as follows: Cleanliness Location Staff Food Entertainment	said: The hotel was great, well worth going all inclusive, the hotel was very clean, cleaners ever so friendly and reliable. The food was lovely and interesting although sometimes very repetitive. The location was ok being on a steep slope in the mountins wasn't very ideal as there was no other way of getin into town but using a mini bus or taxi and this includes money and a walk down the slope. The staff were very friendly, sometimes too friendly, the animation crew helped made our holiday enjoyable, very talkative and up for a laugh the bar staff ar also great. I would definatly visit this hotel again I am planning to come back next year. Looking forward to it!

wallis rated the Greenlands Hotel as follows: Cleanliness Location Staff Food Entertainment	said: The hotel is sited on a hill, which was not a real problem even though we had a wheelchair bound child with us,the turkish people always wanted to help. The food was of a high quality with plenty of choice and was always presented to a high standard. Our room was cleaned daily and linen changed more than we were told. The staff were always polite and helpful and the entertainment team made sure our lad had a good time and even offered to look after him so my wife and I could have time alone to have a quiet drink. We found the entertainment very interesting and even took part in both daily and night-time fun which made our holiday more enjoyable. Can't wait to 09/06 when we return again.
Phillips from North Wales travelled to Greenlands Hotel with K&S on a couples holiday. There were more than 6 adults and 0 child(ren) in the party. The travel date was 09 2005
Phillips rated the Greenlands Hotel as follows: Cleanliness Location Staff Food Entertainment	said: This was my 4th visit to Turkey, 3rd to this area.I have always found the Turkish people very friendly and this year was no exception, will go out of their way to help you. Room was clean with bedding etc changed regulary. Although we were a party of 8 my partner and I were accommodated on in the 3rd block with the rest in the 1st, not a big problem but it is a bit of a struggle to walk up from the pool, it would have been nice to have all the party together as we did book in as a party of 8. Food was just about acceptable, however 3 of our party had Turkish tummy, something we have not encountered before. Please Greenland keep the food hot and encourage guests and staff to replace the lids over the food. Drinks is what you expect, could certainly improve on the quality of the wine, it was terrible. Entertainment, forget it. After 3 nights we were having a competition on what was comming next and always got it right, very repetative and ameterish.If I hear that birdie song again I will never return, one of our party even got one as a Christmas present. Overall a good holiday but not sure if we would go all inclusive again. If there was a choice of reastruant it might be a different matter even if you had to pay extra for it, at laest you will have a choice. We used 2 taxis to ferry us from the hotel to Hissarounu and Fethiye as it worked out cheeper than by Dolmus and it saved the old legs as they picked you up from the hotel. You might need to haggle a bit but hey that what Turkey is all about. Will certainly visit the country again, possibly 2006. I am 54 and overweight but did pick up enough courage to take my first paragliding jump, if you have not done it you must give it a go....brilliant.
Cathy Butson from Rayleigh travelled to Greenlands Hotel with First Choice on a family holiday. There were 2 adults and 3 child(ren) in the party. The travel date was 08 2005
Cathy Butson rated the Greenlands Hotel as follows: Cleanliness Location Staff Food Entertainment	said: We had a fabulous time. The hotel was lovely and the staff couldn't do enough for us. The only downside was that it was a bit isolated and on quite a steep slope. Although our room was on the lower level I was quite puffed by the time I got up. Food was very good but got a bit monotonous by the end of the two weeks. The children were in their element. Our three boys were 15, 11 and 5 and all the staff and other guests kept an eye on the kids so you always felt they were safe.
Ford from Peterborough travelled to Greenlands Hotel with First Choice on a family holiday. There were 1 adults and 2 child(ren) in the party. The travel date was 08 2005
Ford rated the Greenlands Hotel as follows: Cleanliness Location Staff Food Entertainment	said: We had a good holiday here. The food was good, nice variety and not that monotonous. The pool was lovely, we all enjoyed it, always got a sunbed, no charge for that. Staff were good, a few times, reception staff were a bit ignorant, but not too bad. Entertainment was just about ok, not that fab. The shop there sold everything but was SUCH a rip off, eg £6 for a magazine, £3 for pringles etc, the prices were outrageous and as the place is so isolated they must make a fortune. Ice creams are not free, u pay about £3 for a cornetto from the shop. Otherwise ok, we had a good holiday
Wisdom from Grangemouth travelled to Greenlands Hotel with First Choice on a family holiday. There were 1 adults and 1 child(ren) in the party. The travel date was 07 2005
Wisdom rated the Greenlands Hotel as follows: Cleanliness Location Staff Food Entertainment	said: The public areas and rooms in the hotel are kept very clean and tidy at all times. The waiters in the restaurant are constantly removing dishes from the tables and re-setting etc. The food was always lovely with omelettes and/or pancakes made to order every day at breakfast time. Always good soup available at both lunch and dinner. Beautiful fresh salad always available along with good selection of hot foods and a "special dish" each day being cooked in the restaurant itself eg a hot mixed fruit dessert / kebabs / fried chicken. The location was not particularly good although a regular reliable dolmus service runs to Fethiye, Hisoranu and Olu Deniz, all of which have plenty of shops, bars and restaurants. Waiting staff and bar staff were especially helpful and among the friendliest we have ever met. Although the all inclusive drinks only included the locally produced varieties the barmen were always keen to mix these into "special cocktails" of one type or another which were quite good if a little sweet. The animation team were excellent although some did not have much patience with the children. Although there is a kids club we felt that the older children could easily be catered for by inclusion in the games organized by the animation team, especially during the day time. The entertainment in the evenings was ok but started too late to be of any real benefit to anyone with young children. The mini-disco was on from 9.30 - 10.30 with the main show only lasting from 10.30 - midnight. The animation team did work very hard to make the evening entertainment enjoyable but we did feel that the length of the shows were not long enough. All in all we had a brilliant holiday and would definitely recommend this hotel.
Chris and Linda from Notts travelled to Greenlands Hotel with First Choice on a singles holiday. There were 4 adults and 1 child(ren) in the party. The travel date was 07 2005
Chris and Linda rated the Greenlands Hotel as follows: Cleanliness Location Staff Food Entertainment	said: Being the first time we have gone all inclusive, we would recommend you try this hotel. The food was good, with a wide variety of choice. The hotel was exceptionally clean and the staff were very prompt and friendly. The pool area is good, with a slide but it can get slippy on the steps near to this so take care. The entertainment could be a little better, it can get quite repetative, but the staff gave 100% effort in everything they do. The location is not excellent, but there is a regular dolmus service, and taxi (although quite scarey) can be obtained from reception. All in all we found this holiday to be a good all round place for families, if you are looking for a pleasant and friendly holiday in a beautiful setting then give this hotel a try.
Lucy from Reading Berks travelled to Greenlands Hotel with Vision holidays on a couples holiday. There were 2 adults and 0 child(ren) in the party. The travel date was 09 2004
Lucy rated the Greenlands Hotel as follows: Cleanliness Location Staff Food Entertainment	said: I have just returned from Greenland hotel, I have never posted on one of these sites before but thought I should warn others. I spent two weeks in Greenland hotel and was sick after my dinner 3 times. I am not someone with a particularly sensitive tummy either, nor am I fussy about the food on holiday, the food was what you would expect meatballs and cassorole. The Greenland is advertised as a 4 star hotel, I can not see myself on what basis this decision has been made, I have stayed in better 3 star hotels. The sun beds around the pool are craped so close together it is embarrasing. I felt uncomfortable as sometimes I had to sit right next to someone else who was there before me, but I had no choice, I just had to invade their space. This is not a relaxing holiday, there are not enough dinner tables and you have to find a dinner table yourself, you are not seated by a waiter, I have never known of this before in a 4 star hotel, nor have I ever seen self service dinner in a 4 star hotel. The breakfast is lame, I only went twice, ther was omlette but nothing to go with it. This is not a holiday for anyone who has fairly high standards, or has stayed in a proper 4 star hotel as you will be dissapointed. The hotel reminded me of a council estate. Most people who stay at this hotel are form the North or Midlands area are over 40, so if you are a young person who just wants to relax, forget it. The old lady's want to talk to everyone!!! one even came in my room.... just opened the door and strolled in!!! Do not book this holiday through Vision holidays either... we arrived at the airport in Turkey only to be told we were not on there list, infact we didn't exist!!! Great start.... also the driver from Vision, smelt of alchol and was driving way too fast at some points on the wrong side of the road, he also had some of his friends in the van with him so me and my partner could not sit together. Also a mother had to sit her child on her own as there were no seats together for them, this was due to the first to stes of seats being filled with load turkish teenage girls, who were not passangers they were friends of the driver, on the way home they stayed on the bus after we were dropped off at the airport... they were not detined for the airport. We will be making a complaint to vison. I will not go into details of that here, there are a number of things that went wrong. Oh yes and one other thing the entertainment at Greenland is patronising and dated. In fact I wouldn't even call it entertainment.
Mike and Sue B from Worcestershire travelled to Greenlands Hotel with Sunstop on a couples holiday. There were 2 adults and 0 child(ren) in the party. The travel date was 09 2004
Mike and Sue B rated the Greenlands Hotel as follows: Cleanliness Location Staff Food Entertainment	said: We arrived at the Greenland at about 3.00pm with one other couple on the same flight as us. We were allocated a room with a double bed in block two. First impressions were very good the reception staff were efficient and the reception area clean, a porter took our luggage up to the room. The room again was very clean albeit a little cramped but for the amount of time you spend in your room this was insignificant. We had a little stroll around the small complex just to take in the atmosphere and were impressed overall with the cleanliness. We had a drink at the pool bar and were served more or less straight away even though there were quite a few people standing at the bar. We had missed lunch but they do snacks at the poolside bar between 3.00 and 6.00pm the snacks available are different each day, one day it may be kebab wraps with salad (yummy!) and chips another it may be burgers or hotdogs etc. the quality and freshness was very good, the chef was continually cooking fresh snacks all the time. Meals in general were very good, plenty of choice and variety. The omlettes at breakfast are cooked to order and are very tasty. There is so much to choose from that I think even the most fussiest of eaters would struggle to find something they didn't like. As far as upset stomachs go we had no problem what so ever the two weeks we were there but we did hear of some people who had suffered sickness but I think that was probably due to them eating food outside of the hotel. The complex is built in five blocks which are built on a slope so anyone with walking difficulties would struggle if they were in block 5, but the staff are so obliging that if there was a problem they would do there best to help. The location of the Hotel is off the beaten track but we were aware of that when we booked. To get to the main road to get the dolmus was about a 6-7 minute walk which was great going down but a bit of a bind coming back walking up the hill! The only thing that we could find fault with was the "entertainment" they did their best but it was very amateurish. They did put on different shows through out our stay ie belly dancers and Turkish folk dancing etc. which was very proffessional. Overall we enjoyed our stay and would recomend the Hotel. We are thinking of booking again for next year, something we have never done before! All in all we rate it.
Mr & Mrs Bray from Accrington travelled to Greenlands Hotel with Travelox on a couples holiday. There were 2 adults and 0 child(ren) in the party. The travel date was 08 2004
Mr & Mrs Bray rated the Greenlands Hotel as follows: Cleanliness Location Staff Food Entertainment	said: We stayed at this hotel for only 1 week. The room was cleaned on a daily basis to a high standard.We were a bit dissappointed in the number of alcoholic drinks available and you had to pay for the mini-bar.The food was never hot, just barely warm not what i would expect from a 4star hotel. The restaurant staff were young and inexperienced. The entertainment staff were a good laugh they could keep the youngsters happy for hours although the nightly shows were very amateurish to say the least....If the food and drinks were improved greatly we would visit this hotel again.
Chris & Carole Brown + daughter Chloe from Bristol travelled to Greenlands Hotel with Goldtrail on a family holiday. There were 2 adults and 1 child(ren) in the party. The travel date was 08 2004
Chris & Carole Brown + daughter Chloe rated the Greenlands Hotel as follows: Cleanliness Location Staff Food Entertainment	said: Hello Mr Bray - sorry didn't catch you and your wife's first names - hope you got home o.k.! There was a nasty outbreak of Turkish tummy while we stayed at the Greenland, I was confined to bed for a couple of days as was my wife, also heard of one lad taken to hospital but I wouldn't like to point the finger at the Greenland in particular as we heard of other people from other hotels with similar complaints. Talked to expats who knew the Greenland well and they all commented on what a good reputation it had for cleanliness so it's hard to say what actually caused the outbreak. The food generally was of a high standard if a bit 'samey', but some of the casseroles especially were very good as were the desserts. The drinks were disappointing but to be expected as it was all locally produced, the bar areas desperately needed redecorating and made to be more welcoming but as someone pointed out, as it's all inclusive there's no incentive for the hotel to lay on welcoming and attractive bars - shame really. The hotel is a little isolated, could certainly do with just a couple of bars nearby that you could walk to for a change, but saying that the dolmus buses are regular and cheap to get into Hisaronu/Fethyie/Olu Deniz. (In this respect the Greenland is in an excellent position - situated between all 3 resorts.) Rooms are clean and the showers are excellent with no trouble with hot water/pressure unlike some places we've stayed at. The pool is superb and very clean although the sunbeds and the umbrellas could do with replacing as many of them were broken, can't see them lasting another season. Staff generally were fine - no complaints whatsoever, but the entertainment was so bad it was actually funny, but I swear if I hear that bl**dy 'kiss kiss' song again I'll top myself! Usual problems with people putting towels on sunbeds - Christ we're getting worse than the Germans - while we were waiting for our coach at 3 am to come home actually saw people coming back from the clubs and putting their towels out then - sad or what?
adele latham from wigan travelled to Greenlands Hotel with first choice on a family holiday. There were 6 adults and 2 child(ren) in the party. The travel date was 07 2004
adele latham rated the Greenlands Hotel as follows: Cleanliness Location Staff Food Entertainment	said: The hotel was kept clean and tidy by the maids, although you have to put your towels on the bathroom floor to get them changed for clean ones.the hotel food was nice the first week but went downhill.We got a bit sick of eating meatballs rice and spaghetti. There was only 4 local spirits on offer which were vodka,gin,brandy,raki(local anniseed drink) or you could have beer or disgusting cheap wine. The hotel staff were at large ignorant especially if you were English the only person who smiled and was great was Charlie off the entertainments team. The evening entertainment was extremely poor and we only stayed in our first night and spent 25,000000 a night going to and from hisaronu center. I will not be visiting this hotel again as we spent the same as if we were going self catering.
kath smith from gateshead travelled to Greenlands Hotel with perfect holidays on a couples holiday. There were 2 adults and 0 child(ren) in the party. The travel date was 07 2004
kath smith rated the Greenlands Hotel as follows: Cleanliness Location Staff Food Entertainment	said: We stayed in the hotel Greenlands and I must say that it has the most scenic surroundings I have seen anywhere. We went for a peaceful holiday to chill out and that is exactly what we did. I am quite particular about the food abroad but found the food enjoyable. Some people did complain but then again I think some people go on holiday to find fault in everything. The drinks were fine and we did have a few nights when we were the worse for wear. The hotel was very clean and the staff always friendly the people who think the staff quite ignorant are probably the people that go around with a miserable face all the time. We met some great people and as I am a sociable person had some great laughs. It makes no difference were the people came from we met Welsh, Cockney's people from Kent and Liverpool as well as from our hometown. I found this to be one of our best holidays and would certainly be going back something that we do not tend to do.
Eddie Pomfret from Bolton/ Wigan travelled to Greenlands Hotel with My Travel on a couples holiday. There were 2 adults and 0 child(ren) in the party. The travel date was 07 2004
Eddie Pomfret rated the Greenlands Hotel as follows: Cleanliness Location Staff Food Entertainment	said: My wife Angela and I have stayed at this hotel since the place first opened.( 5 years on the run) Cleanliness in the place is exellent Food very good but does get a bit the same near the end of the holiday. The hotel is out of the way in a very quiet location, it is situated half way between Fethiye and Olu Deniz. Over the past 5 years the standard of staff has declined, we have been used to the family touch with the staff but for the last couple of years it has gone down. I can only put this down to the hotel general manager who is never around, when he is he has a bad attitude to everyone - very arrogant. The restaurant manager who only turns up in the morning at 9am the place opens at 8 am. As for the entertainment well the least said the better this year as been the worst of all, words cannot explain how bad they are. I'm off to Margarita Island next year we booked this the day after we returned from Greenland. We will return only when the manager goes and the entertainment crew gets better. One last word I come on holiday to enjoy myself and this year has been one hell of a struggle.
Ron Prowse from Chatham travelled to Greenlands Hotel with K&S Travel on a family holiday. There were 3 adults and 2 child(ren) in the party. The travel date was 06 2004
Ron Prowse rated the Greenlands Hotel as follows: Cleanliness Location Staff Food Entertainment	said: This was our second time to the Greenland Hotel, again we fully enjoyed our time in Turkey, and I would recommend this hotel to ANY family. The food is of a great quality with snacks available between 15:00 and 17:00. Local drinks free between 08:00 and 12:00 and soft drinks are available all day. The cleaning staff, work hard keeping the hotel spotless, this along with the great bar staff help make the holiday. There was a small entertainment team at the hotel, these guys and girls got everyone up participating in the all the day time pool activities as well as the night time stuff. One thing that had changed from our last visit was the addition of a children’s buffet area, this was out of bounds to adults, only members of the animation (entertainment) team were allowed in to help the kids, this was a great help and it got the kids out of your way while you were eating. Would we go back for a third time? Well YES we would the place is well worth the trip and a majority of the guests were people that had stayed there before.
Lee from England travelled to Greenlands Hotel with A1 on a family holiday. There were 4 adults and 1 child(ren) in the party. The travel date was 06 2004
Lee rated the Greenlands Hotel as follows: Cleanliness Location Staff Food Entertainment	said: We had a really good time and will visit again. The Hotel was central with easy access to local towns. The food was good, hotel was very clean and the pool was huge and there were always spare sunbeds. The only down side was the entertainments manager, Nemo. He was very rude and called people fatty and old man.
Elaine from Oldham travelled to Greenlands Hotel with Sunquest on a couples holiday. There were 2 adults and 0 child(ren) in the party. The travel date was 06 2004
Elaine rated the Greenlands Hotel as follows: Cleanliness Location Staff Food Entertainment	said: First time to this hotel/area. The hotel was lovely and clean, staff pleasant. Food was reasonable and plenty of it. The location of hotel was scenic, ideal if you want some where quiet. The only downside was the entertainment in the evening - very limited and overall poor. If you are staying there for more than one week I would suggest that you go elsewhere in the evenings for one of those weeks, as what you see one week you will see again the following week. However, I would stay at the hotel again and would recommend the hotel although if you have difficulties in walking its not really for you.
alan byrne from southampton travelled to Greenlands Hotel with inter net booking on a family holiday. There were 2 adults and 0 child(ren) in the party. The travel date was 09 2003
alan byrne rated the Greenlands Hotel as follows: Cleanliness Location Staff Food Entertainment	said: As all the hotels we have stayed in nice and clean maid service daily. The food to me was not nothing special. But I am a bit fussy. This was the first time we have gone all in. But I think we prefer to eat out. The hotel is situated on the outskirts of Hisaronu and quite hilly it took about 3/4 hr to walk to the center. But quite a pleasent walk the staff as all ways in turkey are friendly And nothing seems to much trouble. The entertainment was okay if you like belly dancers. On the whole it was nice and peacefull and we would use it again.
darky1912 from UK travelled to Greenlands Hotel with Sunquest on a Unknown holiday. There were Unknown adults and Unknown child(ren) in the party. The travel date was 07 2002
darky1912 rated the Greenlands Hotel as follows: Cleanliness Location Staff Food Entertainment	said: We stayed at this hotel in June/July 2002. It was the first time in Turkey for me, my husband and 2 children aged 16 and 13 yrs. The hotel was set in lovely peaceful surroundings and the accommodation was clean, nicely maintained and very comfortable with air conditioning. The food was always nice and well presented. The hotel supplies (as well as all meals) free soft and alcoholic drinks between 8am and 12 midnight.So it was really good value for money. They also provided nightly entertainment which was lively but didn't go on into the early hours thankfully as we were out early most days. All in all we had a lovely and very memorable time at this hotel and in Turkey. We all loved Turkey and the friendliness of the Turkish people made it unforgettable. We will be back!
