When we were on holiday in June, we won a quiz at this hotel. The prize was a week's holiday there for next May or October. It was organised by the bar which although part of the hotel is actually run seperately I think? Anyway it was Izzy and a Scottish woman called Jane who did it - Jane promptly left the following week!
We enquired about our prize before we left and were given the hotel's email address. I've emailed but no response.
I know it's unlikely that we will actually get our prize but just thought I'd ask if anyone knew anyone at the hotel who might be able to help...was looking forward to an extra holiday!!

My son and his family will be staying there in September, if you have no joy by then I will ask for you while they are there, I dont know the hoteland staff at the mo but Im sure I will get to know them then so I can talk. But Im sure someone on this forum will help before then!

The good news Jasmine, is that the price of hotel rooms in May or October will be 'cheap as chips' Its the flight that you will have to pay for.

I was speaking to a girl in Hisaronu. She told me she had been coming on Holiday there usually in May or June for the last 20 years and that for the last five years she got a week free in October in her Hotel. She explained that her Hotel had a bingo night at a cost of £5.00. If you won the Bingo you got a free week in October. I asked her did she win, she said she had won it for a couple of years, but it did not matter as if you bought five tickets you got a free week anyway!!
I suppose it's a good way to fill the rooms in October and if the prize is only for one person, you will buy or try to win a second free week for a friend or partner.

It was booked with On the beach.com So fingers crossed all will be ok :D

Jules, I have booked with On The Beach a few times.
No problems at all. :)
-
Me too Jules. I have booked flights and hotel rooms in the past with On the Beach and had no problems.

Hi Jasmine, my name is NOT Jane, it's Rachel and I was at the Remer at the time you won the prize. I had been asked to take care of the customer service side of the hotel. I was told that they would arrange all permits, pay for my accommodation and give me 750 ytl per month. Everyone was delighted with the service which I provided as they felt that having a native English speaking person was an asset to the hotel. When I asked for my money I kept getting the "after tomorrow" synario. After six weeks I asked again and was told that Ramazan Dinc the so called owner wanted ME to pay him for my being there! Needless to say we parted comapny. I went to the hotel to say goodbye to some guests and was thrown out by Izzy the barman who threatened to "kill" me if I came back to the hotel. Needless to say when my son went there shortly after, I went and met him at the hotel, although I did not spend any time there. At the time of writin, I am still alive - ha ha ha! The hotel is nice, the staff apart from the owner and the bar staff are lovely. There will be HUGE changes next year! I am still on friendly terms with most of the staff including Ramazan the MANAGER (Rambo). I am happy to speak to them about your prize. Exactly when did you want to go to the Remer? You can contact me via the Forum or if you can give me a contact e-mail address or telephone number I am happy to help you.

Sounds like you had a rough time Rachel. How dispicable for the owner of the hotel, and the barman to treat you in this way.I am a great believer in 'what goes around comes around', so if people choose NOT TO USE THiS HOTEL in the future, then perhaps they will get their reward!!.....It certainly worked in Hisaronu, when Nadias Irish Bar (NOW CLOSED) thought that they could make a profit by being supportive of the Dolphinarium!!...People vote with their feet and their wallets!!

nNfortunately not the first story of this type I've heard a similar thing happened to a friend at a different place!

Hi Rachel, this is really kind of you! I'll check with my husband re the dates and get back to you.
Sorry you had such a rubbish time - we missed seeing your smiling face as we passed each night :)
And I know the hotel is the cheapest part of the holiday but it's still nice to get something for nothing :)

Many thanks scouser2 for your support. It's a shame that a nice hotel such as the Remer is getting a bad name because of the lease-holder Ramazan Dinc (not to be confused with the nice manager also called Ramazan or Rambo). The barman Izzy is a nasty little piece of work but it will only be a matter of time before Mr Dinc has a go at HIM. The garden and bar area have been beautifully refurbished this year and Mr Dinc is hot under the collar trying to make up for what it cost him to do this work. Unfortunately, nice surroundings do NOT make nice people OR a friendly atmosphere. Nice hotel, shame about some of the staff.

Please can you return to the topic now. You have explained your situation and there is now no need to keep repeating it and the names of those you have had problems with. Trust me I know what it is like to work hard over there and not get what you are owed, but you are starting to sound like you came here to publicize something of a vendetta. It is good to hear how helpful you were when working there, can we see some of that on here too? Thanks...

Just wanted to say I got an email back from the hotel yesterday so we're sorted for next October! :)
Just need to win some free flights now!
