Palmiye Turkey

Large, but zoned, beautiful resort. Greeted by very warm, friendly staff (called GOs). Garden setting, with long stretch of beach & lots of sports and other activities - spa, hammam, etc. The aroma of jasmine hits you as you arrive (in April). Surrounded by orange trees, laurels, and other beautiful plants.

Spotlessly clean everywhere. Rooms are very nice. Quiet, formal, and casual dining in a choice of restaurants. Delicious Turkish food, loads of choice.

The majority of people there are multi-lingual, so it's fine if you don't speak Turkish or French. If you try greeting someone in their own language, they appreciate the effort.

GOs were amazing, so friendly, gentle, professional, fun, and interesting. Biggest thanks and best wishes to the GOs I spent time with - Elfy who is exceptionally lovely, fun, and talented, Super Selina, Tennis GOs Yusuf (super dedicated & nice), Ahmed, Alphonse, Slava, aquagym's Tony, and trainee Yasin, who will no doubt make a fabulous GO.

Senior management team often present. CDV very welcoming, apparently runs a tight ship, and responded to a GM's request to play the old crazy signs music in the evening show.

Beach is pebbly, take beach swim shoes. Some of the sports equipment apparently needs replacing. Is there any harm in asking - could we please have a slalom course for waterskiing like other CMs used to have?!

We had an exceptionnal stay at Club Med Palmiye. The hotel is amazing. Food is excellent everyday. Rooms are very confy and cleaned everyday. Every activities makes it very special. Sailing and tennis were our favorite activities. We really enjoyed sailing with Selena, Berk and Maté. We were beginners and they teached us from 0, in one lesson, we were able to sail in security and had fun while learning. We enjoyed playing tennis and padel with Antoine, Alphonse, Slava and Yusuf. Antoine organised Padel and tennis tournaments which reunited many competitors so are we. Receptionnists were always helpful and joyful. Hamza the reception manager has welcomed us beyond our expectations. A big thank you to all the animation team : Husseijn, Duru etc.

Wonderful family holiday.
Really beautiful setting.
Our cleaners in room 137 were really wonderful.
Would prefer if you could change your pool towels by the hotel pool but that is my only, very small problem.
Big complex so feels like you can walk around.
Food wonderful.
We have teens and a toddler.
The children’s clubs do mostly speak French but this is not a problem for us.
Will definitely be back.
