| said: After reading reviews regarding Destina Hotel we was not really expecting alot but it was a cheap get away for a week.We arrived at the Destina Hotel and we received a really freindley welcome .Rooms was clean little on the small size but you only sleep in the room so this was not a problem for us . Food was good but think after 2 weeks I would have got feed up ,it was turkish food but if you want english food stop in england !! overall we all had a good holiday I would go back as its such a friendly hotel and staff are really good could not of asked for more for the price we paid .I think the hotel has done really well for its first year of all inclusive.

| said: Generally you get what you pay for, and we did'nt pay very much to stay here. Regardless of how much or how little it cost, one should still expect the food to be hot. This was a common gripe with fellow guests. The food was usually lukewarm even when we went for a meal the second the restaurant opened. The meals were repetitive, with grilled (dry) fish, chicken and meatballs. Though one day we were surprised by hot braised veal! Despite this, the food was edible, I never starved and if the main course did'nt appeal to me I chose the salad which was always the desired temperature and there was plenty of choice. I notice that another reviewer had a TV. We did'nt have one but we did'nt bother complaining. We did not have the full complement of curtains either and the sun shone in the room the minute the sun was up. I wore a blindfold. Our room was much smaller than the average 2 bed room. There was 30 cms between the edge of one bed and the wardrobe. There was 30 cms of room between the end of the beds and the dressing table; barely enough room to walk through. The shower room was tiny with the toilet squeezed in between the wall and the shower cubicle. Basically everything was shabby but seemed clean enough. The sheets were clean and fresh though I did notice that one day the 'clean' towel had a big black mascara smudge on it. That should not have passed inspection.
Now for the case of the missing shoes! One couple told me that one of the husband's shoes went missing, they searched all over and could not find it. A few days later, they find the missing shoe along with it's mate sitting neatly on a chair in their room. I was aghast! They had space for a chair in their room? I raced back to our room and put all of my shoes in the suitcase and locked it. The next day, a teenager said that she had two right shoes go missing and had emptied the room looking for them. A day later one of the shoes turned up but I do not know if the second shoe ever did. Mmmm, could it be a foot fetishist poltegeist having a bit of fun? Maybe a one legged thief was hopping about? Or simply, they were just untidy people who could'nt keep track of their footwear unlike moi who had mine safely locked up in a suitcase.
Now for the good points. The swimming pool was large and clean. The overall hotel 'village' was pretty with lots of flowers. Most of the staff were friendly and helpful. Only one staff member let the side down. He worked in the pool bar mainly and his attitude was obnoxious. He was a right twit (spelt that wrong, never mind).
The entertainment was dire, it mainly consisted of Bingo and quizzes though one night the weekly entertainment budget was blown on some acrobats. They were very entertaining as entertainment should be!
I did enjoy myself despite all, and met some lovely people. Perhaps the camaderie felt by one and all was the result of mass whingeing.

| said: All Inclusive Package not worth a light - food inedible cold partly cooked chicken over cooked fish, Pool Bar served by the most miserable and rude head barman it has ever been my misfortune to meet, drinks all diluted by at least 10 to 1 except raki but the only reason they did not dilute that was because it goes cloudy with water, beer totally undrinkable usually 1 part slops topped up from the pump.Rooms were "cleaned" everyday although it was rather hit and miss whether clean towels were provided also lots of petty pilfering from rooms.Cold or tepid showers were the norm.Rooms rather on the small side although they did provide an empty fridge and a TV (no english channels)entertainment was laughable but if you dared to laugh and joke at the bar in the evening you are told to be quiet because people are in be and have complained so anytime after 9.00pm you have got to be quiet as a mouse unless of course you play noisy turkish music which apparently does not disturb the sleeping guests at 2.00 am to summise - dont go best to book a fortnight in Belson or Dacau the foods better there.

If you want english food and a propper cup ov engish tea pg tips or tetley you must visit sara at the coffee pot we were told about it after 4 days and we ate there every day after that. She is english but married a turk and she is lovely i would reccomend the coffee shop to every one she even makes her own home made carrot cake Mmmm.

| said: Stayed at the Destina last week, after travel company Holidayclick moved us without notification. The hotel was clean enough but booked for All Inclusive and it was awful. The hotel is a very Turkish tourist based hotel and does not cater for brits at all, especially not children. Nearly every brit who was at the hotel had been put there because their original hotel was overbooked, everyone complained about the food my 2 kids would only eat bread for first 2 days, we then ate out every day/night after that. Hotel not interested in helping even though they were asked by us twice and by our turkish rep. Turkish bath advertised as on site is a joke! snack bar only opened for an hour a day and only did 1 choice of food each day! you wouldn't even get tipsy on the alcohol it was that watered down! Entertainment started at 10pm and we only heard about 2 nights of "entertainment" whilst we stayed, one night was watching folk dancing!! Bus ride to beach is 15 mins and your on a steep hill so not for faint of heart.
