I and my mate Sarah went to Turkey last minute and we had such a wicked time we have booked to go back in July 05.....
The food was generally ok, we had kebabs, chicken the same stuff as normal really. It was nicely set outside so you can watch the sun setting.
Location was pukker.... We spent the whole week at night in the bar opposite. During the day we dragged ourselves to the beach which is on your doorstep.
Staff were brill.....4 out of the 7 nights we never went to bed because we spoke to the night staff all night!!!!
Entertainment... Well I was dragged up a few times to have a go....can

After having read some rather negative comments about this hotel I was a little bit worried about my holiday.
I will start with the only negative and that is the noise from the bars opposite the hotel which stay open untill 4 in the morning, i knew about this before i travelled so i took a pack of ear plugs with me which worked a treat.
Now on to the many positives the hotel rooms are very clean with fresh towels and sheets every 2 or 3 days. The rest of the hotel is clean as well. All meals are served outside around the pool area which makes a change to eat inside all the time, the food is of a high quality and quantity especially the evening food.
You have to pay extra for air con and a safety deposit box, as the hoilday went on the weather got even hotter so we treated ourselves to renting a fridge for the remainder of the holiday which was provided by the hotel. The biggest plus for the hotel is the fact that it is located just seconds from the beach.
All the hotel staff are friendly and are only to happy to help you. We are going to stay at the Orion again in the summer of 2007.
We just cant wait to go back !

There is really no bad location to be, and the Orion is at the quieter end of the resort.
The rooms are very clean - the maid is in virtually every day to empty the bin and nicely arrange your towels on the beds. Satellite TV is basically just BBC world, but then again, you're not on holiday to watch tv!
The staff are very friendly and helpful.
Breakfast is typically boiled eggs, fried potatoes, cheese, cold meats, breads and fruit - all buffet style, with fruit juices, tea and coffee. Dinner is also buffet style and could consist of chicken, vegetables, chips, rice and cold accompaniments such as potato salad, salad vegetables, cheese, bread, meats, fish with desserts such as fresh fruit and chocolate puddings. Pretty much the same every night so you will probably want to eat out at a few restaurants for variety.
The pool tables cost about

When we arrived they had forgotton my bed, but were swift to supply me a z-bed, which was fine and they were really good about getting it for me.
The room was small, and very basic, the plugs were awful and we had to wedge things around them to make sure they would work [hard work trying to straighten my hair]. Our view was brilliant of the sea and other hotels, extremely pretty.
As a fifteen year old girl I found the Turkish men extremely friendly, too friendly for me.
The hotel food wasn't to my liking and I spent my 2 weeks basically eating salad, otherwise we ate at Star Park, a great restaurant behind the Spice hotel, or the Summer Garden which is lovely too.
We didn't spend any of our nights with the hotel entertainment because it was really bad, so we spent most of our time in Linekers, directly opposite the hotel.
I'd go back, but probably not back to this hotel!

when we arrived my friends mum and dads room was not ready for them till later on that evening because they had let the family previous,to keep there room on.so it didnt really set us off to a good start. but staff were very apologetic towards this matter and gave us free drinks all night!
i had alot of attention with the bar staff, abit too flirty, so watch out!but other then that very kind towards you, especially head bar man, Hussan.lovely person.
Food wasnt that good,breakfast most of all was pretty bad.evening meal got abit better as holiday went by.
the entertainment could of been abit better!
i had a fantastic time, i would defo recomend to got to the orion and altinkum!

The Orion is ideally placed on the beach and at the quiter end of Altinkum. The rooms are clean and of a good size but all smaller rooms are located on the side of the hotel overlooking the sea and the noisy night bars.
The hotel food was average to poor with many residents eating either at the friendly Asia Minor restaurant opposite of the keenly priced, beautiful Olio restaurant two blocks away (Just before the Tunstan hotel)
Many of the waiting staff were 'over friendy' to the young girls in our group. Although overall the hotel is good, the poor entertainment, food and staff managed to bring the standard of this hotel down.

The Orion hotel is the definitly one of the best hotels that I have ever stayed in.. in Altinkum.
The food if you are going for half board has some Turkish food involved in the buffet so you can get a hint of the Turkish food just by staying in your hotel.
The entertainment is really good.
The staff are probably the nicest group of people I have ever met. It is also good for children, there were many children staying there when I was there it is mainly a family oriantated hotel.
The location is perfect it isn't far from the main square but it is also quiet as well. PERFECT

Orion hotel in altinkum, found the staff to be poilte and friendly, one or two were over friendly to the young females. hotel was very clean all the time and the rooms were spotless.food in the first week was excellent and could not be faulted, however the second weekwas a mirror image of the first week but the standard had dropped by 40%..this forced us to eat out. entertainment was sparce, actuall depended on how the head man felt, location was superb and could not have wished for better. yes i would visit again and i am already planning my return for August 2005
