Sarigerme, Iberostar Tropical

Myself, my partner and my two children stayed at the Iberostar at the beginning of August. We couldn't find many faults with the hotel itself. The food was good except for the breakfasts, lots of variety for adults and children. Do make sure you take enough suncream and mosquito spray with you as the hotel shop prices are ridiculous. Do go into Sarigerme to book your day trips as it is a lot cheaper but avoid the 12 Island boat trip, unless you want to be stuck on a 40ft boat with another 100 plus people for 9 hours! Plus the islands look the same, cliffs with lots of rubble not a grain of sand to be seen, quite dangerous too. As you are stuck on the boat for so long, you have no choice but to buy their drinks, which have a mark up of at least 150%.

The overall holiday was a great experience for all the family. It was our first all inclusive break and worth every penny.

Book trips with the locals in Sarigerme, which is approx 15mins walk away, much cheaper than with the reps. We booked a Turkish bath for £10.00 each. A brilliant trip to Dalyan, mud baths and Turtle beach all for £15 per person (lunch included).

We would definitely come back to this hotel, in fact thinking of booking again.

We had a fantastic time, the hotel rooms at the Iberostar Tropical are very clean. Also the grounds are very clean, most of the staff are more then happy to help you, our room was lovely, suites with a lounge, separate bedroom and spa bath, fluffy bath robes and slippers, which was a nice touch.

The hotel grounds and pool area are wonderful, spotlessly clean and well maintained, you will always see someone cleaning or tending to the gardens. There are large water slides, which are opened for two hours in the morning and two hours in the afternoon and lots of games ie football, volleyball, water polo, water aerobics happening all day long.

It was early in the season, we never had a problem getting a sunbed round the poolside, not even at the baby pool.

Breakfast: There was not much choice for breakfast, we never had bacon once all week, sausage was frankfurter style but there was cereal, fruit, bread, scrambled fried and boiled egg. You can also get a fresh omelet cooked while you wait.

Evening meal was varied and fresh, the puddings were to die for! Fresh gateaus and fresh strawberries!

The entertainment staff worked hard to keep you entertained and my 3 year old went to the kids club twice a day, from 10am to 12.30 and 3pm until 5. He really enjoyed it and did various activities, it gave us a rest from constantly looking over our shoulder for him.

We enjoyed a quiet 5 minute walk to the beach bar surrounded by sweet smelling jasmine that climbed over the trestled arches leading to the beach and once we were there we enjoyed an ice-cream or a cool drink.
