The hotel is set in fantastic scenery but that's about the only thing 4 star about this hotel (The Scenery)

The location was in the middle of nowhere and taxis and buses are needed in order to get out & about.

The hotel was pretty clean however certain aspects of it were dangerous to say the least. The slide was a death trap with puddles of water lying underneath it, on many occasions I slipped over.

The childrens club area is dirty and grubby and would be more suitable as a dogs kennel.

The food um yes the food it was more like camping food very cheap food and some food from the day previous was reinvented the next day. My palette has never felt so greasy. My dad lost over a stone in weight. My first time all inclusive and the only good thing was the free soft drinks and tea and coffee, the alcaholic drinks that were free were very bland, cocktails were described as blue or red say no more.

The staff were the only real credit to this hotel hardworking, and very nice.

This is a TRUTH site and I read this site before coming so thought it was gonna be a great place. How wrong I was.

The hotel is certainly in a beautiful spot, with only the mountains as a backdrop.

It is rather a steep walk up to the rooms which are set in several buildings positioned on the side of the hill. Ours was the very last building and we were shattered when we got there!

The rooms themselves were not large but were clean and tidy and decorated in a traditional Turkish way. The accomodation buildings were set in pine trees which I would imagine in the heat of the summer would provide welcome shade, we travelled in the October half term and the weather although good was not scorching.

The restaurant offered an excellent selection of food, including salads, cold meats and cheeses as well as a selection of hot meals each day. The food was varied but as All Inclusive hotels often do, seemed repetitive towards the end of the week, this is not a complaint however as the food was always very good, and plentiful.

The restaurant staff were very friendly and made a fuss of the children.

The hotel location is slightly off the beaten track, but the hotel mini bus was available every day and would take you into Olu Deniz to the beach if required. Taxis were also readily available and fairly cheap, and a bus stop was a couple of hundred yards down the hill.

The entertainment in the hotel wasn't really up to much, but I think this was more to do with the fact that the hotel was due to close for the winter the day after we left and things were winding down. There was a karaoke night, a folk night but not much for the children. Most of the kids would congregate in the games room where they could play table tennis or pool or watch a movie.

The pool area was lovely and the kids loved the slide, the water was freezing however, but was as to be expected at the end of October. The best thing was usually to go down to Olu Deniz were the temperature was a few degrees higher and the sea was lovely and warm.

All in all a lovely relaxing holiday which was just what we needed, good food, beautiful surroundings and pleasant clean rooms.

This was our 3rd visit to Turkey. On arriving at Greenland hotel we checked in very quickly, then our luggage was taken to our rooms for us. We had two rooms in the second building both rooms were very clean. Couldn't complain about anything.

Everywhere we went in the hotel was clean.

The food was wonderful lots of choice and plenty of it,(mum even took a video of it to show family at home)it was always very well presented and always looked fresh. The only thing about the restaurant is there is a children's room with nearly always chips which adults were eating not us because we don't eat alot of chips, but if you had children who only ate these then you were sometimes out of luck because of these selfish people. The hotel always seemed to have some sort of food at any time of day. Occasionally it was a task to get off the sunbed and go to eat because it didn't seem that long since you last ate.

The hotel staff were great bar staff were exceptional very friendly & polite.

The entertainment staff Ozzi Charlie & Hero worked really hard & my two teenage children were very impressed even organised coaches to clubs after work so as the younger scene could enjoy themselves without us oldies. Most of the hotel staff also went manager as well. Really felt my children were safe at all times.

Would definitely visit this hotel again. Soon I hope!!!!!

First impression is good. We arrived about 3 in the morning and we was greated with a smile and was helped to our rooms. Rooms are a bit small and sofa bed was very hard, Our hairdryer broke on the second day and it still wasn't fixed by the time we left ( which was two weeks ) and the other room had no towels but maids were quick to fix this.

The hotel is very clean and tidy and the pool toilets were cleaned often. Nice surroundings with lots of plants and flowers. there is always someone cleaning. The pool is lovely and the slide kept everyone entertained. The pool slide is turned off around food times or when nobody is using it but all you have to do is ask the bar staff to turn it on.

Food, well that's a different matter. I'm not a fussy eater and i love to eat turkish food but we all struggled to eat for two weeks. Choices are rice, over cooked chips, vegies with cheese, flan, beef or lamb stew, salad and the meat of the day and that was it. One week would be no problem but after that we started to eat out. We spoke to the rep ( who was wonderful) and she ate there a few times and agreed that something had to be done about it.

The hotel is on a hill so it is not good if you have a wheel chair or pushchair, there is lots of steps. About a 40 min walk to hisaronu but there is a taxi right out side the hotel which only cost 9 lira to town. Hardly any noise from surrounding areas which was nice.

The staff were all lovely and polite had a bit of a problem of bar staff serving cocktails to my 13 and 14 year old but after saying they were under age it never happened again. All the staff were keen to make you happy.

Entertainment was ok. There were three of them there Hero, Ozzi and Shamer. During the day they really didn't do much apart from the occasional polo or volley ball but in the evening they really tried hard to get the guests to join in. Enertainment is on a weekly rota so if you see it in week one then its the same in week two.

All in all I wouldn't go back to this hotel again basically because of the lack of good food. If they changed that then just try and stop me.

My family and i travelled to this hotel from Scotland, the hotel is beautifully set in the hills. The scenery is second to none, only fault was that you were to far away to walk to any of the near by towns although a short walk down the steep drive took you to the main road where you can catch a dolmus. The hotel did have a taxi rank outside.

The hotel is not suitable for anyone with a disability as there is no facilities and eveything is built on a steep hill. although once you are down at the pool everything is in one place the bars and restaurant are all round the pool which was very beneficial for me as i had my 9yr old daughter with me and i could see her every move. the pool was wonderful with a great slide and a lovely baby pool for anyone with smaller children and they too have a slide of their own.

The complex was very clean and the staff were great . The entertainment lads were nice and tried their best although they could make more of and effort to entertain people through the day. If you have kids this is a perfect place for you to go and your kids would love it. far better for families than couples although i could never emagine going on holiday and leaving my kids at home, but each to their own!!!!!

The food was nice, but be prepared to try different things.

the rooms are rather small so if there are more than two people going into one room i suggest that you ask for a family room.

If you are looking for a relaxing place to take your family with good facilities then the GREENLANDS HOTEL is the place for you.I would recommend that you try it in late May early June..
JUST REMEMBER TO TAKE THE KIDS..............

The hotel was great, well worth going all inclusive, the hotel was very clean, cleaners ever so friendly and reliable.

The food was lovely and interesting although sometimes very repetitive.

The location was ok being on a steep slope in the mountins wasn't very ideal as there was no other way of getin into town but using a mini bus or taxi and this includes money and a walk down the slope.

The staff were very friendly, sometimes too friendly, the animation crew helped made our holiday enjoyable, very talkative and up for a laugh the bar staff ar also great.

I would definatly visit this hotel again I am planning to come back next year. Looking forward to it!
