We have just returned from the Esra Apartments, the only thing that we could fault this place with is that the music was very loud on occasions. I explained to the management and they did try to ask the holiday makers to go inside to drink and listen to music after midnight.

The staff are brilliant, the rooms are very large.

The food in the restaurant was very good and not too expensive, in fact it was cheaper for some things than going into the town.

I would recommend these apartments to people with families but would just say that the slide view apartments are quieter than the big pool view ones. If you have small children I would say, ask for one of these apartments then you would get more sleep.

The staff can not do enough for everyone. They are the best. The manager was very good and if anyone had a complaint, usually about the noisy people who were there he tried his best to do something about it, nothing was too much trouble for him, if anyone is going to these apartments you can not help but enjoy yourselves.

What a holiday!

It was our first time in Turkey and so did not know what to expect. We were extremely pleased. The hotel was very clean, the food was excellent, the entertainment and staff were faultless.

5 minutes from a lovely beach and a very entertaining town (Altinkum)

The kids did not want to come home, Mind you neither did we...

If your looking for a place to stay in Turkey This is it.
We can't wait to go back.

Already searching for the best price to book up again.

We have just returned from 2 weeks at the Esra, We enjoyed it so much that we hope to go back next Year. The Rooms are clean and large enough. The Hotel food is excellent and reasonable prices. The Location of the hotel was great for us it wasnt right in the middle of the town and not too far out either. The staff are really friendly (too friendly sometimes with the younger single females). Reception staff are great too. Everyone in the hotel works VERY long hours but are always smiling. The BBQ and Esra night are good value for money and entertainment is good. The only downside is that the Kids club was closed last year. We would definetly recommend these apartments. Say hi to Simon, Mehmet, Joseph, and the rest of the guys.

This was our first visit to Turkey and we couldn't have picked a better hotel.

The management and staff were all very friendly and couldn't do enough to help you ( Ali, Ozzie, Chris, Alex to name just a few). The bar prices were cheap -

After many times of travelling to Turkey, the Ersa is probably the best hotel we have stopped in.

The staff are all wonderful and very friendly especially Jack, Joseph, Ali (call me bubbles darling) & Ozzy.

The hotel is spotless and the food is great.

Couldn't fault this hotel at all. Looking forward to going back June 2007

We visited Esra and all though we have no problem with people enjoying themselves we found it unbelievable that so many families were allowing their young children ranging I guess from 8-15years old to stay in the bar getting drunk until 6am every morning.
Do not visit if you want to get any sleep as the booming music never ends!!!!!!!

Stayed in the Esra with my Mum &Dad and 10yr old nrother.

The staffs were there and welcomed us and took our bags to the room. They even open the shop for us to get a bottle of water.

The only thing was the walk home on a night through the woods.

I would definitely go back again. We are going to Turkey again in May, but there are 30 of us and we are staying in the Atack Apartments.

The best bar to go to is The Big Nose Bar. All the staff are friendly and there is a games area for the kids.

We have just returned from the Esra apartments early this morning,and Ive got to say this was a brill holiday for all of us.

The staff went out of their way to be nice to us all.Of course we have our personal favorites who doesnt.They are 'LITTLE JOE' & 'ALEX'.

I would definitely recommend these apartments to anyone and Im sure we will be returning sometime in the future.

We had a brilliant time at the Esra appartments this was the 2nd time this year we also went in August and both times had a great holiday.

The apartments were nice and spacious, they were very clean. the pools are lovely and good for all ages. We had good relationships with the staff who are always friendly and try their best to help you as much as possible.

Hope you boys are alright especially Joseph,Memet(turkish bath man) and Charlie who has recently left.

We would strongly recommend Esra appartments and we will hopefully return.

My two friends and I stayed at Esra during 4-12 Sept 2005. It was a fantastic place to stay and I would recommend it to anyone, couples, singles, families. I would like to go back.

There are four pools in total. One with three water slides, which was open and supervised about four times a day while we were there. One children's pool and two normal sized ones.

The facilities within these apartments are very good. There is a mini market, restaurant, pool bar, hairdresser, tennis courts, Turkish property office (if you fancied buying a place in the sun), games room which includes two pool tables and table tennis, TV room, safety deposit boxes, Turkish bath (including sauna, masseur and gym). My friend and I had a Turkish bath and it was very nice, it's ideal to have one as soon as you arrive as it exfoliates the skin ready for a fantastic tan! Word of warning to the ladies - watch out for Mehmet(the masseur), he is very pleasant and friendly round the pool but he may ask you out on a date whilst you're on the massage table!

The staff are what makes the holiday. They are so friendly (some a little too friendly though (Mustafer), if they think you are single!). The ones that stay in my mind are Charlie, Simon and Joseph. All can speak very good English and are always happy to help with anything. They do work very long hours though but they are constantly smiling and having fun.

We went to the BBQ and it was good value for money. It included the choice of three starters, then for the main meal you can choose from several different meats and kebabs (eat as much as you like), then selection of desserts. Once you've eaten, three of the staff started a dance show - Charlie is the best dancer! It was great, they get you all to join in, clapping as well as getting up and dancing with them. Bingo was included too but you had to pay for your Bingo strip of numbers. A professional photographer walks round and takes photos which are displayed in Reception the next day and are available to buy. I bought two!

We ate out every night apart from the BBQ night. We had breakfast every morning though by the pool. The Turkish breakfast was may favourite and good value for money. It includes a cup of tea, two slices of toast, boiled egg, cucumber, tomato and orange slices, olives, one or two cheeses, butter, honey and jam - yum! It really sets you up for the day and I didn't need to eat again until the evening.

The staff play music round the pool, usually from lunchtime. I liked this but they tended to play the same songs regularly, so I ended up getting to know the words! The pools are cleaned everyday and there are loads of free sunbeds and parasols.

The location of Esra was fine, its just a 10 or 15 minute stroll into Dolphin Square or you can catch a local bus for 1 Lira.

I have no hesitation in recommending this hotel, the staff are superb, facilities are great and the weather was fantastic in September. I've already checked out prices for next year! If you get the chance, GO!
