Title: Bit of a cheek but I may as well ask
Post by: campervanbob on February 20, 2012, 15:41:15 PM
We are booked into Delta Hotel/Hotel Delta end of May which doesn't have a pool. Does anyone know of a Hotel nearby with a Pool that I would be able to sneak into for a crafty dip late in an afternoon? If we have been out all day I love a plunge ... of course I am willing to buy a cold Efes from the Hotel Bar

What does anyone think?

Campervan, nice hotel choice, shame they don't have a pool. In the past we have used Bahar hotel pool although it was a year or 2 ago.

I know the Harman hotel allows people in to use pool as long as you buy drink/food, although this is about a 10 minute walk from Delta hotel.

I'm sure there are more hotels that will also let you use the pool if you purchase food or drink

You can use any of the hotel pools around as long as you use there bar service and buy a drink, we always do that, the oyken is just round the corner and has 2 lovely pools..

when are you there campervanbob as we are staying in the roof top suite there the last 3 days in May..

The one behind what used to be the Mimosa, actively encourage use of their pool. Would it be called the Simsek or the Deniz hotel now? It's next to the Indian restaurant, just beyond Berlin hotel to the left of Delta Campervanbob ( hope you can make sense of that!)

I don't agree with non residents using hotel pools

I dont agree either but that only applies if I'm resident at the time and cant get a pool bed. If on the other hand I'm in our apartment( no pool) and wish to spend the day with friends at their hotel pool then I'm all for it. Double standards- moi?

We were not keen either on using hotel pools seeing as we have our own apartment but last summer we were forced to as our pool area and sunbeds were totally taken over by people that were renting apartments on our complex, it was simply not a pleasure loud music blaring out and other stuff overcrowed pool and no sunbeds, I am not against people renting to make a few quid after all times are hard, but last summer was seriously not a pleasure, two good things came from it though, we discovered the wonderful ambience of the Sat during the day and also a lovely Turkish run place plenty of sunbeds lovely pool and cheap prices for lunch just hope it will be reopening again this season :)

Yes I love swimming in the Sea but like the option of a Pool for an early evening cool off. We booked Delta and then realised that it didn't have a pool but as we would rather sit on the beach staring out to see than sit round a pool staring at the people on the other side of the pool (whom usually seem to be Eastern European or German) it doesn't matter that much.

Everyone says how good the Delta is and I have just managed to book the Roof Top Suite for 1 night on 30th May direct from Delta ... but don't tell my wife as it is a surprise early Wedding Anniversary present!!!

Could you tell us which pool you actually used - we do not have a pool at our apartment and are looking to find a pool  that allows non residents to use (used to use the Park Hotel but Nicki is no longer there)

I think many of the hotels further back from the front make non-residents welcome if they want to use the pool - and as you say buying a couple of drinks or some snacks is nice in return. The Ernur used to do this and for a period of it's existence they were very busy indeed. When I stayed at the Pelin they were very relaxed about people coming and going, but that's also another question - who is to know if you are resident or not anyway (assuming the hotel has a good number of rooms)?

We came over in early may last year and stayed in an apartment at Palm Beach, just off the seafront near Seril 1. Arrived at 3am, all quiet and dark obviously. Woke up and decided to go for a swim, looked out of the patio doors and the pool was empty !!

We stayed for 12 days and the pool was only just filled by the last day, sat on the balcony for nearly 2 weeks watching the maintenance man re-grout the tiles in it.

We went up to Letoon hotel most afternoons for a dip, bought a beer and checked my email using their Wifi.

It was quite quiet, they only had 2 rooms occupied, maybe if it was busier the offer might not have been there.

I usually find a subtle hint once asked where you are staying opens the door to say " it's nice but we have no pool " and an offer for use of theirs usually arrives ;o)

Hi, I have always used the Hotel Area's pool on the front, with no problems. Late afternoon there won't be a lot of people about, just buy a drink, pick your sunbed and enjoy your swim....
