Hi,im sure you all remember the chap that was on here a few weeks ago moaning about Calis,and what a bad holiday he had,he said an incident had supposedly occured between a local and his daughter.
Well i am also a member of tripadvisor and was reading a review on Calis beach on their forum which sounded very familiar,low and behold it was him.I suggest people have a read,just to have a laugh.
You cant miss the review,its titled C.b.F take your blinkers off.LOL.
-
I think he liked it here! :D
Save you searching...

Ha ha ha! I see he gave up moaning about the £10 entry fee...... think he got the hint on that point!
-
:D
-
Oh the guy with the really funny name......NOT
:)
-
A legend in his own lunchtime!
-
ooh errr! He has got his knickers in a twist hasn't he? Seems a tad overexaggerated in his whinge.
-
It does seem his knickers are a little to tight for him doesnt it.
Apparentley someone told him he could get some new ones in Calis,but when he got there he found they were to expensive.
-
I'm not sure this is as amusing as previous posts would suggest.
Reports like this will do nothing for Calis. No matter how many good reports there are, this one will almost certainly put some people off visiting.
-
"Clandestine" forum??
He enjoyed his holiday he says. I'd hate to see his review of a place he didn't enjoy!!!
-
Me thinks his TA review will be removed very shortly
-
The strange World of a man who thinks 7000 of us are wrong - we all know Calis is rubbish but he's the only one brave enough to say it.
-
What a nasty person this is, thank goodness he did not stay as a member who needs people like this. I pity the next place he visits... Good name Bannockburn.. I think he is still fighting battles with everyone.
-
I doubt that any holiday this guy has been on would get a good review. He seems the kind of guy that likes to find fault in everything.The word to**er comes to mind :)
-
I wonder what his review might have been if he'd visited in 2002 - many members will remember it was way scruffier, way less conscious on health & safety and what roads there were spent most of 2003 dug up! Then I think, what would he have made of Calis in the 1980s when mad pioneers like laffa and cavfan/jukebox first found it?! I wish I'd seen it then. I'd love to see a bit of cine film from back then, when Calis finished at the bridge!

And just for the record, when it comes to getting Calis ready for the season, some years are harder than others :D

I hope you enjoyed that post (about a scruffy little resort) :D

Just looked at it. Shame I missed it all on his post here!
But the worrying thing I've noticed on it is that 5 people have found the review helpful. While there are more nicer reviews, this eejits review is at the top which doesn't help.
-
Means him and 5 people like him (4 probably, one will be him) might not try Calis. He wasn't going to again anyway and the others are sheep. Some loss!
-
He's the odd one out by the looks of the other posters on TA.
-
The fact that five people have found the review helpful is rather deceptive. It all relates to the weird and not so wonderful way that the TA review system works.
If you look further, all the comments on his review actually give it a score of one out of five in terms of helpfulness, so I presume may be some of you had hoped to show your disapproval of what he said by giving him a low score. As there is no way of giving a negative score, so everybody's comment on a review is recorded as helpful or positive. (I hope that makes sense, I haven't had enough coffee yet)
So, unfortunately, on first glance this just shows that five people found it helpful (albeit not much)rather than inaccurate or incorrect.
There used to be a way of registering a negative opinion of a review but that has been removed by TA. So that is openess and fairness for you. Under these circumstances it seems quite inappropriate for him to criticise CBF.
The only way to counter it is to write another review or use the 'report problem with review' button.
-
He is not worth the effort Nick, we all know and thats good enough for 7000 members/people.....
-
It is usual for people who come to CBF to tell us all how crap Calis is (and in 7 years there have only been a handful) and they seem entirely put out that the responses aren't warm. This is the Calis Beach Forum!!! It's also the general rule that they then start telling anyone that will listen that you can only post on CBF if what you have to say is positive.
Believe it or not I have met quite a few people who didn't fall in love with the place (customers who ended up buying somewhere else for example), and it is permitted! I do get it - Calis might not be everyone's idea of paradise! The point is that if people joined CBF and said they gave it a go and sadly it wasn't for them, the replies would be far more sympathetic than guys like this who prefer a "what is it with all you people, are you blind or stupid/it's a hole full of pervs and conmen" angle.
That's down to the ability to know how to speak to people (especially strangers), and sadly this individual has no ability in that respect whatsoever.

Cheers Scunner, I've been called many things in my time but never a mad pioneer! ;)
He would have hated the shacks dotted along the front,the uneven floors in the hostelries, the potholes in the road, the poor lighting,the limited menus, the holes in the floor that were the loos,the dancing bear on the beach, the long wait for food to arrive, the vast expanse of fields that ran from over the bridge up the to Fethiye road.
He would have also probably have completely missed the point of the wonderful people who were just getting used to tourism and had an innocence,genuine charm and willingness to help to make your holiday into a special event ! :)

This person maybe does not have anything else in his life,he is maybe a Victor Meldrew.We,ve all met them.
