We are just back from a wonderful week at Palmiye, (oct 11-18) family of 5, 3 kids 14, 12 and 6. It was our first club med experience and I have to say expectations were surpassed on every level. The hotel setting is spectacular, beach to the front, mountains behind, perfectly manicured gardens everywhere. The staff were wonderful, friendly, attentive, always courteous, going that extra mile to make you feel at home and looked after at all times.
The food was of the highest quality, the only ‘problem’ being there was too much to taste and try out! Variety and choice was extensive at each mealtime. Hats off to the head chef and his team. Equally the bar drinks menus were extensive and service was always quick and with a smile (from behind a covid-mask). Covid was taken very seriously with all staff wearing masks at all times and regular temperature checks.
Kids’ clubs were great and staff were always cheerful and friendly, all of them genuinely seeming to enjoy themselves looking after the many children. For our 2 teenie girls Amelie and Holly, the waterskiing was great and the patience of Aykut and Aleksandra coordinating all the children and adults was something to behold. They remembered our girls’ names the entire week and coached huge numbers of beginners with the utmost kindness and patience. Amazing!
I could go on...but all in all a fantastic week’s break and we couldn’t recommend Palmiye and it’s wonderful staff enough. I rarely leave reviews but this time I felt compelled. Chapeau!
