Club Alize

"The location of this hotel is reasonable with only a 10 minute walk to the main street for shops or the beach front. The rooms are very basic and dated with exposed sprinkler pipework on show and in the rooms and throughout the hotel corridors. The hotel mainly caters for families with young children and young teens. Our party all thought that the food was poor compared to other hotels we have stayed in Marmaris and other areas of Turkey. The evening meals are ok if you like salads or turkish style food. They do beef or chicken burgers and chips at mid-day and cakes and biscuits at around 4:00pm. They do not provide traditional English breakfast although on one day they did do English bacon. You can get toast and boiled eggs daily. During our 7 day stay omelettes were available on 2 days and fried eggs on 3 days. We ate out at local restaurants every day but one. The only reason we ate in the hotel on that one day was due to the constant heavy rainfall which kept us hotel bound. The housekeepers do clean the rooms daily but on one day I had a small cut on my head which left a blood mark on the pillow during the night. The next morning our room was cleaned but the pillow case was not changed it was simply turned over. The beds have hard matresses and are very close to the floor. Their was only one small wardrobe in our bedroom room with five hangers and a small dressing table. It was not large enough to hang all our clothes. You are only given one room key per couple or family. This is not ideal. If one person wanted to go to the room early they could not go to sleep as they had the let the other family members in later. The entertainment team do well with the limited space and resources they have. Entertainment for adults in the evening consists of bingo and open the box. The team sometimes put on their own shows or have visiting acts such as dancers. Activities like killer darts or killer pool are played during the day also. The all inclusive bar stops providing drinks at 11:00pm. If you want a drink after this time you have to pay for drinks up to 12:00 midnight when the bar then closes. Only Tuborg lager, soft drinks or tea's and coffees (from a machine) are available on the all inclusive package. All other drinks are chargeable. e.g. Gin and tonic with bombay saphire gin or bottled largers are chargeable. The staff are friendly and helpful but do not like to get involved with children misbehaving. Children were allowed to play with a football right next to the outside dinning area. One night a child kicked the football and it hit a lady at the side of the head whilst she was eating. The staff did nothing about it and children were still kicking the football in the same area on the following evenings. This is a very low grade budget hotel which needs a lot of modernising. The food needs to be improved with items being available daily not just once or twice a week. More choice of british type foods should be available (as they are in the local restaurants). The management need to take positive action with children playing football in the outside dinning area."

"Me and my family stayed in club alize for two weeks, and it was one of the best hotels we have stayed at. Firstly the food was delicious and there was a big selection of different foods every day, the cakes were so yummy, sometimes cakes all taste the same at all inclusive holidays but in club alize that’s not the case. There was even brownies! Nextly the staff were so kind, and the entertainment staff were great. We had one day where it rained all day and the hotel did there best to entertain us all day. They were the nicest staff I have ever seen at a hotel. Lastly the room, it wasn’t the best room, and we were hoping for a pool view but you have to pay an extra £20 for a pool view room. And the hair dryer in our room only worked two minutes at a time then it stopped working and you had to wait a few minutes for it to work again which was a little annoying. The room was a little outdated but it was good enough. Me and my family will definitely be coming back to club alize."

"Rather than hit the repeat button, on previous submitted reviews, I will try and mention what hasn't already been said... Our party of 6, had one, amongst us, who had mobility issues. So we saw things on a slightly different light. I'll start with good points :- Lifts, although small, we're working throughout our weeks stay. More times, than not, the lifts were prompt. Rooms being spacious and wide corridors, ramps to differing levels, made things easy to navigate, within the hotels area. The slope, of which you gained entrance to the hotel, was the exception to this, as it was very steep and would be a risk, if wet via rain or drink spillage. We found the animation team nice and friendly, of a good standard ,with daily activities, apart from Sundays ( their day off) A lot was asked of them, as most evening entertainment was internal and provided by them. Kids entertainment 9 til 9:20, bingo 9.30 til 9:50, then the main entertainment 10 til 10:30. Music was played, during each interval. Considering, the restaurant opened @ 6:30 pm, it would have been more convenient for all, had entertainment either been longer for each session mentioned or earlier i.e. 8pm. A live act, such as, for instance ,a guitar player, covering popular songs would have been a welcome addition and,an inexpensive idea too? The food offered was basic,but edible. Drinks , weirdly varied in quality. Pepsi / Pepsi Max, which was our main choice, started off great , of an authentic quality to what appeared to be a poorer watered down quality. The juices at breakfast in the main restaurant were again of a diluted taste, with the best of a standard concentrated drink being pineapple. Hot drinks were over all, good. Swimming pool, slightly small scale, but never packed, was inaccessible, for our limited mobility member of our party. No gradual slope to gain access to swim or hoists to use. The slide to one corner, was great fun, for those of mobility and although dangerous, debateably more enjoyable, due to the life guard turning a blind eye to the safety rules! When the sunbeds were fully allocated at pool level, which generally they were by very early morning, there were some available on an upper terrace, but unfortunately, the only access to the terrace, was two flights of out door steps, which was an impossibility for someone with limited mobility. In truth, when asking hotel staff, they were helpful, in bringing down spare beds to us, but a better idea would be for them to have accessibility out to the terrace from floor 2 . That way all amenities would be accessible too. Over all, if you're not of limited mobility, are a drinker and a smoker, who's not a fussy eater, has a kid under 17, as they'll be free via Jet2, the price you'll have paid would be worth it. We would come again, but really only because of the affordability."
