maya girls have just set a new standard

[squiffy]

best burgers in calis in my opinion might even go and have one today!

[Highlander]

OMG you mean the kitchen is up and running

[Toky]

Pete......you are making me soooooooooo jealous!

I have to agree with Lance on this,I have tried it a few times (efes is 3.5lira Scunner)but I am not impressed,My feeling is the girls have been around the bars a bit to long. I will say no more really, but think it is just another opportunistic location that offers little to promote it,and sincerity is a bit thin.Every one to there own I guess.

You must be easily put off then Tiddly, or your parents are very touchy. Staff in any bar will ask if you want another drink, it's their job to do so. Probably if they'd be ignored, that would have upset your parents also. No win situation eh?

I can see where your coming from Toky, but it's difficult to explain in writing how it was put across. Either way, when I heard it I wasn't too impressed. I may try it again next year, I may not.
My parents touchy? Nope you have the wrong people there, it takes a lot. I've been trying for 17 years!

This is why this forum is great, with all the different opinions. Captainjohn, what is there not to be impressed about? It's a great location, beautifully furnished, soft lights and candles, all the choices of branded and local drinks, and I couldn't fault it when we were out in May. Has something happened to change all that, or have you had a bad experience you could share with us?

Now now Toky, you must appreciate the self-appointed "Pantomime baddie" role captainjon has taken on CBF Good for post count and page views I must admit  

Efes 3.5 lira, free sea view - everything he seeks is there! The comment about the girls being "around the bars too long" is a little puzzling - surely that is the whole point, that after years of working for someone else they have their chance to do it for themselves, just like Rushie last year. One thing I know is that it is a difficult thing to say no to, but management brings with it the pressure and responsibility, and the rent and bills are yours too. It can be hard to lighten up some days if for example the rent is due and things are tight, where for years all you had to do was smile and pour drinks. I'm not trying to make excuses, everyone should have a permanent 24/7 smile on in the service sector but sadly life and economics don't always help with that.

I hope Gul and the others find the balance as they deserve their chance.

I agree with captain john on this it is in a lovely position but it all seems so dead in there the umph has gone out of it, been down  there twice this week 7pm one day and 1pm yesterday not one person in there ,and you have a job getting them off the p.c.they are on ,if you do want a drink ,why they didn't go in with neshe next door i dont know she has almost shut down cant do efes for the same price ,but she has the kitchen work together girls [^]

I didn't experience any of the negative statements when we went to Maya. I will ceretainly pop in again and enjoy the ambience of sittiing on the rattan couches,soft lighting, looking out to sea, with a well presented drink in my hand.
