Atlantique Holiday Club in Kusadasi

Hotel was clean. Dated rooms. My ten year old was provided with a camp bed, small room. On the edge of town middle of nowhere. The entertainment was amazing, the food wasn’t great however we did use the snack bar for lunch. Good atmosphere. Ok value for money, brilliant if you just want to stay hotel. Can be noisy. Hotel quick to advise and answer questions A lot of cats in the restaurant and staff let them roam…

So overall, I am in two minds over this place. I went with my child who is 7 years old. I read over reviews before booking and this aided me to make a decision, however I always take reviews with a small pinch of salt as we all have different preferences. Rooms: I had read the beds to be hard in a previous review, I found this to be very true. The beds were hard but after a long day you are desperate to sleep so you get used to it! In terms of noise, you can hear the music from the room that we were in (room 647 I think) but I weren’t too fussed about it, because it is a holiday destination and just because we were in bed it doesn’t mean others should stop having a good time. Our room was up four flights of stairs which weren’t great! But we managed. On arrival we were greeted by a lovely concierge who carried our bag to our room for us. Check-in: The process was simple and welcoming, again greeted by the concierge at the entrance and shown to the reception. I had been worried about if we would be able to have an evening meal given the time we were arriving, around 9:30pmish, however the receptionist was very much on the ball and suggested we go and have our evening meal before the restaurant closed which we did. FOOD!!: I say this in caps as I LOVE food, we had an all inclusive package. I am someone who on holidays looks forward to the meals. The meals to me were very “Meh” I was disappointed to say the least. I am someone who is not particularly fussy when it comes to food. They had “themed meal nights” one night there was Turkish doner style kebab which lacked any flavour, I also love kebabs and have had many in my time. I had thought a kebab in turkey would top any UK kebab I had ate but not in this hotel. A lot of the food lacked any flavour, I was vigorously adding salt and pepper to meals to attempt to bring out some taste. The menu items were sometimes strange like boiled chicken? It was literally bits of what looked like dry chicken pieces in some coloured water?! I noticed some hot meals that may have been left from the previous day were then moved over to the salad bar. The salad bar I only loved the potato salad from there but somethings looked as though they had been there for a while on repeat. Puddings weren’t my thing but I found it odd how there was never any ice cream for pudding but again personal preference. ANIMALS! I had read that there was stray cats and dogs but didn’t really mind/take it seriously as my child actually loves animals particularly cats. I am neither here nor there on them. However, even my child was complaining about the amount of stray cat this property. Now, I do not mind seeing them within outside spaces BUT within eating areas it’s really unhygienic. I went up one meal time to get food whilst my child sat and continued eating. I was returning to have my child running up to me saying that there was a cat on the table! Low and behold a cat had jumped up on our table and was now d
