I've just come back from a stay at Atac and you probably don't want to hear this but it was the most awful place. The second week of the holiday had to be spent at another hotel because the owner of Atac became rude and agressive towards us and we had t get our tour operator move us.

Was it really that bad?Was it the hotel its self that was bad or the staff heard they can be quite bad if you dont spend in the hotel bar or resturant .We are going B/B so we can suit ourselfs during the day as my sister is also going to Altikum same time but different hotel so will be spending time out and about Hotel only a place to sleep. :sun2

My friend and I went B&B too. All our time was spent out of the hotel, we didn't even use the pool. The hotel is certainly not 3* as advertised. I was so upset by my experience there I have done a review on some holiday sites. Without going into too much detail (unless you want it) some of the issues we had were:

Sheets - we stayed for 8 days before moving and the bed sheets had never been changed in that time.
Towels - the towels only get changed once a week and only if you ask.
Bathroom - tiny/cramped. Toilet didn't flush very well. No hot water in the mornings. On two ocassions no water in the hot tap.
Room - small. no view. one electrical socket only. No phone in our room.
Balcony - so small you struggle to get 2 people out there.
Reception - only the night receptionist speaks English. There are others who speak a little English but they're not always available.
Breakfast - very little choice. Tomatoes, cucumber, feta, olives, salami?, bread (no facility to make toast) scrambled/boiled eggs, omlette, water melon, orange concentrate, tea, coffee.
Staff - no-one takes responsibility for anything. Harrass you to stay and eat/drink there.

My friend and I were travelling on our own with no men with us and we found we were harrassed by some of the male staff. At one point we thought we would have to but a chair up against our room door.

If you want to see my review, go to Tripadvisor and it's the one called 'Avoid like the plague!!'

You could be lucky and have a better experience than us as it seems some people have been made more welcome than we were, but no-one in the local area had a good word to say about the hotel or the owner.

If all you want is somewhere to sleep of a night, then this place is relatively clean, but like I say other amenities were lacking.

Although Atac was a dissapointment, the holiday overall was great. Altinkum is a very lively place to be and the weather was fantastic.

We got moved to a hotel called Nazar which was closer to Main Beach. It was about a 5 minute walk but meant it was far enough away to not be disturbed by the hustle and bustle of the bars and restaurants there. Nazar was good.

I booked with Thomas Cook and would have thought they too would check hotels out better than they do...never mind.

Hope it works out for you and you have a great holiday.
