Montana Pine Resort - All Inclusive in Oludeniz

Arrived late at the hotel after a delayed flight from Manchester. Taxi dropped us off at a gate lower down than the hotel in the dark. We had no idea where to go, and struggled up the steep path with our suitcases. Got to the top of the path to see lots of people outside enjoying the live band which we could hear where very good. Still no idea where to go! My husband went over to the bar to ask and we were told where the reception was. Checked in with no problems and a lovely man helped us with our cases to our room. The room was lovely, large and clean although a bit dated but we had a wrap around balcony and I could see even in the dark what a lovely view we were going to wake up to. We unpacked after a long day and sat out on the balcony with some duty free drinks and listened to the live band. There was food left for us in the fridge and juice which was a nice touch. Absolutely stunning views the next morning we could not have been happier and glad we chose this hotel. We went to breakfast, and whilst the choice was not great we had some lovely omelettes cooked in front of us, but alarm bells were already starting to go off with what we saw. I’ve never been to an all inclusive hotel where the staff looked so miserable, one member of staff looked half dead dragging plates from the tables. As soon as you had finished your last mouthful a staff member would descend on you and remove your plate in a flash! We never saw in the week we were there a member of staff smiling in the restaurant. Lots of signs saying taking food from the restaurant was forbidden, I’ve never seen anything like it. No service in there whatsoever, you were lucky if they offered you a glass of water. This is supposed to be a 4 star plus hotel! We were very disappointed and this was our first morning. We went for lunch later that day and the service and the food was terrible. I asked a member of staff if my husband could have a glass of wine and he looked as if he could ****** us. Little did I realise then that you were supposed to go and get your own drinks. The food for the rest of our stay was the worst I have ever come across in an all inclusive hotel. The choice of meats and if you ever saw any fish was of poor quality and swimming in grease. I saw lamb once during our stay which was full of fat, grease and bones and fish in some sort of greasy stew, no idea what the fish was! One night there was mash on display but nothing to go with it. On our last night the main meat dish in the restaurant was chicken wings! As I said the food quality was poor. My husband and I are foodies and the highlight of our holidays is eating lovely food, if you are like us avoid this hotel. We did try the snack bar but I was put off when I found a hair in my pizza. Wd had ice creams a couple of times which was very nice . We tried the Al la Carte and this was no better than the main restaurant after paying a surcharge. We ate out for the majority of our stay and only had break

Beautiful setting and surroundings, well kept grounds and pleasant staff. Sadly that’s where the good bit ends. Room, allocated standard room. Cramped and poorly furnished. Small hanging space for clothes, no drawer space at all for clothes. Just 3 grubby wooden shelves. On arrival no stool for dressing table and only one bedside table. My husband resorted to using his suitcase on end next to the bed. But I guess there was no other storage to put the suitcases. Following an assertive conversation with reception both an extra bed side table and a dressing table stool were delivered. Although the stool was small and the fabric pretty disgusting. Fair play to the cleaning staff they did a good job every day and were pleasant. The food? Well breakfast and lunch were ok, but the evening meal not so great, unless you want your meat dishes swimming in some kind of dishwater. The pools although very pretty were unusable because they were freezing, very few people braved them. The complimentary shuttle service to Oludeniz was useful but restrictive. On par I think the worst value holiday ever
