Mercury, good advice... We accidentally went to the Istanbul when they have 4 bus loads of guests for lunch but they still couldn't have made us more welcome! We sat in the garden bit (which is nice) and got served really quickly, my boys used the pool and were the only ones in it! It always seemed quite popular. Muzzy's was much quieter whenever we went there, or walked past.
Sorry for the misinformation re the Izela pool, Wordbird! Thinking about it, it's far too classy a place to have people in wet trunks sitting at the bar!
I just assumed the pool was open as we never seemed to see the same families twice in it! The food there was absolutely exceptional, like eating out in London for about a quarter of the price. I miss it already!
Tbh I'm not sure you can go wrong eating in Kaya,unless we were just lucky. Fab place!
Villian, what you're planning is exactly what we did last year... liked it so much we stayed there this year!
