We stayed there last October Lance (when we met you on the prom) - I had picked customers up from there on many occasions and every one seemed to like it very much so I wanted to see for myself, plus they have one bedroom apartments that sloeep 4 which was ideal for us.

We loved it - of course in October it was pretty quiet, but the staff very nice and you could understand why people come back year after year to stay there. It's 3 star, and it is - no luxury but not basic either. All the people we met staying there were either regular returners or were having a great first stay.

Unless your friends are looking for 5 star pampering, I'm sure they'll enjoy the Oykun.

The huge amount of repeat business speaks for itself. Very friendly and run like a well oiled machine.

We enjoyed our stay there.

PS their postal service is not the best   ;)

Would certainly recommend the Oykun.  We stayed there about four or five years in a row until we decided we preferred an apartment.  If we needed a hotel again would go back there.  As Scunner says it's not 5 star, but a good 3 star, with great breakfasts!

Now as in has been for around 10 years  :)

You can book direct, you don't need to book via Thomson.

Just don't book for two weeks, loose your job and ask if you can change it for one week, you will be charged double and thrown out in the middle of the night.

Jacqui -you may have post about this before but in fairness to the Oykun I think you should give more details

Some people on our complex stayed there last year for a few days as they were renting out their villa.  They loved it.
