So happy for them that they are building it "from the foundations up", be an absolute phucker of a job pouring the concrete for the footings after the building is up...I would pay good money to see that ..................no I wouldn't !!

As for toilet doors. Many hotels leave them off now and I have been to a few where you can see into the shower as well. Not really suitable for family rooms though I admit.

A girl my daughter works with was at the Sensatori near Calis and said her and her husband paid 50 euros per day to use the large sunbeds the resort has...She had not been to Turkey before, so probably thought this was the norm.

Basically you have a room, which has a balcony, which has an entrance to a pool. You can get in the water and 'swim up' to your balcony.
If you are lucky (like we were) you might get a bar to swim to and have a drink. However anyone booking the Sensatori Fethiye can see from the pictures that this is not the case at this hotel.
By large sunbeds do you mean the cabanas? I understand they are 50 euros a day and come with your own waiter. I think they hold a few people and I don't think it's 50 euros per person but per cabana.
Each to their own I guess but to me if it was available for four adults then I might just give it a go if I was there.

"Basically you have a room, which has a balcony, which has an entrance to a pool. You can get in the water and 'swim up' to your balcony. "
I guess you would have to "swim up" - isn't a balcony something that projects from somewhere "upstairs"?
Still, you do say you know what you're talking about.
I remain unconvinced.
Post by: Jacqui Harvey on August 13, 2015, 20:37:21 PM
Also, those Sunbeds ARE 50 euros per day. This is what the girl working with my daughter told her. I already knew because there was a complaint about them on the Sensatori F.B. page. The person said that she thought going AI included this sunbeds which cost 50 Euros per day and also she complained that one restaurant charged 20 euors each to get into. I noted her post was deleted. They don't like posts like that on the Sensatori F.B. page. This was before I got thrown off there too.
I am surprised you are defending them Stuart particularly as they pumped out all that sewage next to Koca Calis.
Post by: Stuart T on August 13, 2015, 20:42:34 PM
Certainly not defending them. Perish the thought - I feel quite the opposite.
Just questioning the idea of a swim up pool to a "balcony" - how?
Balconies are high up there things.

Re the Cabana price of 50 Euro. Read the right had side of this page where you will see the amazment of people due to visit at the price of these sunbeds.

Yes, but the guy on T.A. said he had nothing to swim up to. The small amount of water lead to knowhere.
Basil: Well, may I ask what he expected to swim up to? Sydney Opera House, perhaps? The Hanging Gardens of Babylon? Herds of wildebeest sweeping majestically...
Post by: JohnF on August 13, 2015, 21:44:30 PM
You swim up to your balcony Jacqui. That's why they call them swim ups. What did he expect - a private bar and water slide?
As for toilet doors. Many hotels leave them off now and I have been to a few where you can see into the shower as well. Not really suitable for family rooms though I admit.
You're coming across as a serious arse licker to Sensatori... all for a free beer or two?

Post by: Jacqui Harvey on August 13, 2015, 22:10:19 PM
He must be doing something right :)
As a recent T.A. member reported he paid £4,500 for two people for two weeks. If I paid that I would expect a shower room door.

I reply to a moan about swim up rooms and suddenly I'm defending Sensatori!
I've done swim ups and I cannot see the problem with the ones they are advertising and selling. Anyone who does should simply not pay for them. Those who have never had one should butt out!
As for Mrs Harvey - yes I might be doing something right - I'm not commenting on things I know bugger all about

I note that some visitors think the same way due to the complaints I have read about these charges.
Stoop, As for doing something right to stay on their website. Toky gave advise about tours.(not run by the resort) She also asked the tourists staying there not to go outside and bother the turtles. I gave advise about visitng Calis beach and booking tours there and changing money at a better rate. I think Toky and I both know all about these things. So, why ban us? The woman who works with my daughter and visited the resort last week, asked my daughter why I had left the F.B. Pages as she was enjoying my advise. She was surprised to hear I had been banned.
The Sensatori Fethiye F.B.Page is totally sanitized and allows only good reports about Fairyland. They want to keep their inmates inside the gilded cage and not let them find out about the real world.
As for the Ms Calvert and John McConkey who run the F.B. Pagesl They both say they are not an official Hotel group but an info group to help you build up excitement, but why would anyone run 6 F.B. pages for free and monitor them like the Gestapo!! They both take holidays in these resorts all the time (wonder what they pay?) Also, by complete coincidence, Ms Calvert is a Marketing Director. :o Also strange that McConkey joined CBF under cover to big the place up. ;)

Good job I've been 'promoting' Sensatori and giving the first timers tips on where to go in the area - I've been promised some beers over the 'wall' ;-) Just hope I can catch them :)
I rest my case.

Post by: Jacqui Harvey on August 14, 2015, 20:23:53 PM
Now we know why they let Stuart stay on their website when we are all banned. :)
Come on Stuart, how many beers up to now or are you up to the free stay grade ??
Post by: stoop on August 15, 2015, 15:40:31 PM
I will going to have nosey but the 'free beer over the wall' was a little joke. I don't think I really need free beer thanks. I can afford to buy my own. I don't even know if there's a wall either ;-)
And the reason I am still on the Sensatori site is probably because I have not been s h i t stirring like some on here and FB who have nothing better to do.
Enjoy your weekend - I know I will
Post by: stoop on August 15, 2015, 15:45:02 PM
So they allow complaints but in the most they don't allow trouble makers to ruin their page. A bit like most forums actually.

It's like the old sign at Guvens - "free beer tomorrow".
Rest assured if anyone passes a beer over the "wall" I will be on here like a shot :)
Anyway - back on topic - another new hotel! Shall I start "promoting" it now or wait until the drearies start moaning again?
Such decisions ;)

Stoop I do not think the members like me, Loz and Toky are trouble makers or sh@t stirrers. We answered questions that were asked. We were banned for giving honest answers that there are places to book tours and visit outside the resort etc., I hardly think that Toky warning about the Turtles was sh@t stirring.
Do you really think all Forums run the same as the Sensatori one? I think there would be nothing left on CBF if Scunner decided to delete posts he did not like or did not put Calis in the best light.
I think you are leading a charmed life with the Sensatori Forum and I hope you will receive your just rewards for being a model member.
This posting was on T.A. from a man staying at the Sensatori...would you say he was a sh@t strirrer with nothing better to do or just someone wanting to make a point and not being allowed too ??
-------------------------------------------
Yes I can testify that the facebook group set up by two people do not like any negative comments. I got removed from the group because I asked why the hotell is charging for sitting in the Cabana at the rate of 50 Euro a day when we have paid so much for the all incusive in August! First the guy came back and said: "No one is forcing you to get it!" When I came back and said technically I am forced to pay as part of the set up when I bought the holiday I was looking forward to sitting in one of those Cabana at least once during our 10 days stay? His response was to remove me from the group...
---------------------------------------------------
Quackers, you will see from the above that some people booked and paid a lot of money thinking they would not be paying extras.

I have no idea why you were banned and to be honest I'm not remotely interested.
If you were banned for suggesting trips outside Sensatori then I should have been banned well before you as I've recommended many places to go to away from the hotel.
This is my last post on this particualr thread as I'm gettinig tired of the bickering and have better things to do with my time.
Have a good Sunday.
Post by: Jacqui Harvey on August 16, 2015, 14:32:10 PM
I had the nerve to answer a question from a member who asked were there any other place for a Turkish Bath outside the resort. I names 3 places includng two Hotels in Calis. I had a private mail from Sonia tellng me I was not allowed to mention names of other Hotels and not to do it again. My post was deleted.
Keep on defending them Stoop, you will stay on their F.B. Pages. I am sure they are reading all the posting on here and are pleased that you are rubbishing CBF members and only have good words for their resort.
My last words too, but I think CBF members will know the score by now. :-X ;)
Post by: stoop on August 26, 2015, 15:38:36 PM
What I will defend is people's right to holiday in whatever place they wish and if this happens to be an AI Sensatori ( which you seem to hate for some reason) then so be it.
Also going back to you idiotic notion that they do nothing for the local economy. Try telling that to Max at Koca Calis Beach Bar and Defne Pension (and others I'm sure) who have both received lots of extra custom from the staff who stay in the new accommodation block - mostly English as well.
Il reiterate - the reason I am still on there is that I do not deliberately go on to stir things up. I do not defend the hotel at all. If they are causing problems then I will complain through the correct channel (as I did with the staff accommodation block and the problems it caused) not some FB page set up by a couple of Sensatori fanatics.

However, I remember 11 years ago when we were looking for a property, the Estate Agent in Fethiye advised us not to look at Koca Calis because it was built on a swamp and very damp. We took his advise although we knew nothing about the area, but, it seems it was true.
