Palmiye Turkey

My 4th year in a row - Well done to all the team at club med for another fantastic holiday . A big shout out to Toni( fitness guy) . Ahmet at tennis for looking after us beginners . Murat at the restaurant along with faith and Yasmin . A special mention to Hasan who always gave us top class service and Erkan behind the bar. Food was top class and well done to all the chefs . Povian ( aka Freddy mercury) some performer and entertainer and looked after his guests along with Jonathan . Remember a Mauritius and Irish flag for our next trip !!. Highly recommend a boat trip and do enjoy the white night ( Wednesdays) . I met a lot of lovely fellow guests who all were enjoying themselves . A lot of activities to enjoy to burn off those additional calories . Look forward to returning for my next trip. Look forward to my next visit.

An amazing overall experience !
We were a group of 5 families with our kids ranged from 6 to 14 years old.
It was for my family the 1st Club Med experience but it definitely won’t be the last !
The location and scenery is just so beautiful.
The welcoming and friendly attitude of all the workers and GOs made our stay excellent.
We stayed at the Villagio and our rooms were clean, so big with even a balcony, i literally unpacked everything into drawers and closet and there was still space available.
You even have access to a laundry room and an iron in between every few bungalows!
The food was so diverse and in huge quantities, there were always refilling the plates. I enjoyed the salad station where you can chop and prepare your own vegetables ☺️
Having your bracelet on your wrist is all u need (no need for room card hassle) and we enjoyed all the activities,
I practically saw my kids only for food gathering because we were so excited to try everything (perfect circus and water sports teams 👍)
I would like to thank all the GOs and Jonathan the chef du village who made the performance shows so nicely .
A huge appreciation to the entertainment team because they made our stay so fun that even a rain shower didn’t stop us from continuing the party 🎉
A special thank you to GO Thomas from water ski team who dived to search for my watch that fell during my try .
To summarize perfect vacation 😍

I returned to Palmiye with my family this year. I first came as a teenager over 30 years ago and this year came with my husband and adult daughters. We have visited many times in the interim and also bee to many different Club Med resorts.
This stay was just as outstanding as Palmiye has ever been. Jonathan the CdV runs a tight ship and everything worked brilliantly. The GOs were terrific. We did almost every activity and used almost every area of the resort. Special mention goes to Fathi, Ramazan and Murat in the Olympus/main restaurant as well as the tennis, waterski and circus teams.

I visited Clubmed Kemer (now closed) before family life for 6 years in a row. This was our fifth time visiting Clubmed Palmiye. My daughter was 5 the first time and this time 15.

The rooms are fine and clean. The showers have lots of hot water and good pressure. The surroundings are green and lush.

The adult pools are lovely and the ones for everyone are good too.

The complimentary boat trip twice a day is a nice little outing. There are plenty of activities on offer and especially the Circus school with its Trapeze and the water skiing was a hit with the teenagers.

The foods is excellent and there is something for everyone. Food is served in 4 restaurants and there are additional snack bars all day long except for 30
minutes! between 12.00-12.30pm. Night time there is also a break between 1.30AM-7.30AM but no one goes hungry!

Mustafa and his team in the main Villago restaurant aim to please. The food is fresh taste and there is a lot to chose from. The staff in the restaurant are so hard working. Murat especially goes the extra mile always with a friendly smile making sure his tables are the most sought after. Hasan in the Villagio bar is especially attentive and remembers what you want.

As always a lovely holiday. I only wish the teenage club made more of an effort for English speakers - my daughter always made lots of friends in the younger clubs but it’s very French for the 14-17 and hard to even know if there is another English speaker around.

Unfortunately this year there was also some plastic in the sea that we haven’t had in previous years. It’s more of a general issue but nevertheless it made the whole experience less good than before hence the 4 stars instead of 5.
