Julian Club Hotel

So this review is made on what we had based on what we paid! Overall we had a good stay, the room was fine, apart from some initial teething problems which were resolved rapidly. The bed was comfy and the room was well serviced.. The food was good in both the restaurant and lunch time snack bar, with plenty of choices to suit all. As this is really a children's orientated hotel, if you don't want to put up with them don't go!🤔 If can, or have children you should have a good time 😎

This place is lovely. My partner and I came for a last minute week away, and were impressed. Transfer from hotel was about 1.5 hours. Check in was very easy and informative and told us all we needed to know. Someone came to help us to our room and showed us around, although the lift was broken so we had to go up five flights of stairs!! but was fixed the next day The next day we got up 6:45 and so many sunbed reserved. We were lucky to get one in the sun, but one half of the pool didn’t get any. It was quite a mission to get sunbeds, but towards the end management took towels off of sunbeds which people put down and went back to bed, which was a lot easier Food was great, no complaints. There was food that everyone can enjoy no matter what. Yes they do the same foods most days but you get what you pay for. Food was fresh, hot and tasty. Rooms were perfect. Maids were amazing and very chatty. Bar staff were so polite and enjoyed everyone having fun and joined in Although, a lot of husband and wife’s falling out, and your usual drunk people who take it one step too far. A few big arguments which were soon sorted by hotel security would definitely come back again

Just come back from a week holiday with the family, hotel is in a good location, food was spot on. Pools where good. Entertainment team where great and all other staff always smiling and helpful. Only downer on the hotel is they wanted £120 for a 4 hour late checkout which I find is very overpriced

After reading the reviews for this hotel I was very nervous about going on holiday here. I am glad I didn’t listen to the reviews as it wasn’t even half as bad as portrayed. Negatives: very very very busy, swimming pools all full and could hardly enjoy your time in the pool as there were to many people. Pool areas(although the cleaners try their best) is very messy and sometimes sticky with food and drinks still on the floor from the night before. During the day it also gets messy but this is more down to people who do not know how to tidy up after themselves and leave it there for cleaners to do. Sun loungers. It’s true, you have to get up between 6-7 to ensure you get a sun lounger. The pool guys do bring more out but the hotel is so packed that they obviously do not have enough for everyone. This was a real turn off for me as I have never had this experience at any other hotel I have stayed at, and I go on holiday to relax so setting an alarm for an early wake up call was not ideal.( understand I did not have to do this but if I didn’t you wouldn’t have anywhere to sit or go during the days round the pool) The dinner options are the same every night so gets very repetitive. It’s also very busy so you felt you was hovering over people’s tables waiting for them to finish which I did not like at all. Hidden extra costs for use of pool tables, certain drinks and the candy corner for the kids. Slides are only open for two hours a day which the kids were disappointed with. Positives: Rooms clean and tidy, felts spacious for us. Entertainment team were all fantastic. Special shout out to Rio who was very funny and always had a smile on his face. Particularly enjoyed the darts games with him in the mornings. The inflatables in the pool were great for the kids(and the adults)but these are only on certain days for a short duration of time. Snack bar was well stocked and you had variety. Great for the kids with hotdogs, pizzas, burgers ect. They also had an ice cream stand that was open the majority of the day with a good selection of flavours. All inclusive drinks were good, you pretty much could ask for anything(except for branded alcohol as this was an extra). Walk to town was about 10-15 minutes which suited us but when getting taxis back they varied in price so just be careful with that. The arcade area for the older children was very good and the man the runs this was very friendly! All in all I would say that this hotel was very good for young families but I would try to avoid the busier periods. They were asking people to change hotels as they overbooked. Night time entertainment was mainly aimed at younger kids not really much for the adults or older children. I would also like to say that the spa and the hairdressing staff were very pushy. Even when you said no they would come back twenty minutes later to ask if we are sure and this happens daily.

Rooms are very basic. This included broken wardrobes, dirty socks on a roof directly outside our balcony which we had the unfortunate pleasure of looking at everyday, a tv that didn’t work, air conditioning that sounded like it was ready to take off at any given moment, uncomfortable beds the list goes on and that was just our room alone, a couple we met said their room was covered in mould 🤦🏻 We also arrived at 6am in the morning and the staff gave us keys into 2 different rooms that people were sleeping in before we got the rubbish room we eventually did. The staff are also constantly on top of you in an uncomfortable way trying to get you to buy stuff despite it apparently being all inclusive (it’s not) and not a smile among the majority of them either. The shop in the hotel was overcharging everyone and giving them the wrong change in lira constantly to a point that everyone we spoke to there was boycotting the place. Even the parlour I got my tattoo in although his work was good overcharged me about £40 and said it was for a design fee, a design I MADE 🙈 Food is very average. I’d avoid the breakfast as it’s bland and gave me constant heartburn. It’s pretty much the same food you’re eating every single day and there is parts of the day there is no food available at all which is no use when you have young kids and it’s advertised as 24/7 all inclusive. Dinner doesn’t start till 7pm which is late for young kids and the queue for it is out the door, reminds me of a homeless soup kitchen and the kids didn’t really like anything on the menu so they were constantly hungry and we had to get food outside the hotel. The poolside was covered in fag doubts, tables were always sticky with drink which was attracting wasps constantly and I noticed people taking pool water to clean it themselves. The pool itself seemed ok which is literally the only reason I’ve given it 2 stars because the kids enjoyed that. Same repetitive entertainment every single night which I can only describe as something out of Butlins in the 90’s. Last but not least the mosque next door to the hotel was blasting out hymns and prayers at 6am every morning and throughout the day so don’t expect a long lie. If we go to Turkey again it won’t be here 🤣
