Title: Booking into a hotel early?
Post by: Zappa on June 12, 2009, 17:13:07 PM: I made a mistake when booking our holiday. Fly out late on Friday 31st July and should arrive at the Malhun hotel approx 7am all being well. I didn't pay for the Friday night (this is a DIY job)and forgot that most hotels don't let you book in until the afternoon. Hotel provider want £126 for two rooms for the 31st. Don't mind paying a bit extra but I'm not paying that! Have contacted the Malhun twice to ask them if they'll take a reasonable cash payment to let us book in early but have never received a reply.
Do you reckon we will have to wait until 2pm to check-in?
Also,anyone go to the opening of Max's new Sands Bar at Koca-Calis?
Can we get a cab there or do we have to walk along the beach?
any advice much appreciated.

Don't listen to Crabbit, when it comes to hotels, he finds Basil Fawlty too helpful.

Arrived 6am Saturday morning prepared for the worst, the night porter couldn't speak a great deal of English but was kind enough to boook us straight into our rooms! No extra cost! RESULT!
Yes he was adaquately tipped and Calis is just as good (if not better) than I expected.
Cheers Peeps.

I took money, bankcards, passports with us just to be on the safe side.
