Galaxy Beach Hotel Alanya

Hell of a lot of negativity on here, but from my perspective if you want a decent, cheap week away, you can't moan to much, the only ones that seemed to ever want to moan were pissheads with a English WW2 superiority complex, staff were great, take the time to talk to them instead of arguing, far easier to get any issues resolved, my biggest fear was going to be lack of variety of food on offer, but I didn't need to worry, there were stacks, the local town is big with plenty of shops and restaurants, pool and beach were great, one word of caution don't book trips through the reps, it's 4x more than booking with local vendors, had a great week and met some great people....if all you wanna do is get smashed and get angry, I'm sure there are other places that will suffice.....

Please think twice about going to this Hotel as it is awful. I booked an all inclusive holiday for my partner and myself but we split up 2 days before travelling so ended up going alone. Having arrived at Antalya airport at 5.30 in the evening we then had to wait an hour before the shuttle bus left due to waiting for 3 people who arrived on a later flight, the driver then stopped at a petrol station to refuel the mini bus and then we stopped again for 20 minutes for a toilet and coffee break making the transfer time just about 4 hours instead of 2 1/2 hours arriving at my hotel at 10.15 pm. I had been travelling from 6.30 am. The hotel restaurant was closed and I said that I needed some food to be able to take my medication, they gave me a polystyrene box contain 1 Piece of bread, 1 slice of tomato, small pack of butter and 6 olives. I took these to my room and then took my med's and went to get a drink from the bar only to be told it closed at 10.30pm. This was not what it said in the paperwork they gave me on arrival. The following morning I went to the restaurant for breakfast where there were boiled eggs, slices of fried garlic sausage and some cold chips, this was the hot food selection but there were some cold meats and salads etc. I went back to the restaurant for lunch where the selection of hot food was limited, there was a meat stew but you could not tell what meat it was and a chicken stew that looked very grey. I decided to leave it and wait for dinner and returned to the bar to find it was closed for the 2hours while lunch was being served as the restaurant bar was now open. I went back to the 6th floor to the restaurant to get a drink only to be told I could not take it out of the restaurant and had to drink it there. The same thing happened at dinner time also and the bar also closed in the afternoon at 4.30 while they served tea and cake, in total the bar closed for 5 1/2 hours of the 12 1/2 hours it was meant to be open. The food at dinner was exactly the same as lunchtime with just a different rice or pasta dish. When the bar was open you were only allowed to get one drink at a time so when I was talking to people I met there I had to keep going back and forth to the bar. The food didn't change very much throughout the week and so I ended up eating in some nice restaurants in the local area.

Hotel was certainly not 4 stars / food was never labeled and never varied, rooms were cleaned once every 3 days if that 40 euro charge for WiFi & cocktails were not included - ages away from airport & area was run down and locals very rude - would never consider going back
