We loved this hotel, me, my partner and 2 kids came at the end of August for 1 week, we’d booked with on the beach, however with my partner being a regular in turkey we decided to opt for private transfers, I find these better if you are with younger kids. We arrived at the hotel roughly around 6:30pm ish. The pool/towel situation- if you wanted a sunbed at the very front of the pool, then you needed to be down by 6:30am to secure it. If you want to keep it you need to stay with it until 8am or else your towel will be removed. This wasn’t an issue for us. If you were happy not to have the front row bed round the pool then you certainly wouldn’t need to get up at that time. However we took it in turns to go down and get one as my children are both young and unable to swim so it meant we could watch them easily. - again not an issue for us! The food- Iv stayed in other hotels in Turkey and personally the food at Julian club was brilliant compared to others, the variety of food was excellent, my children are very fussy and there was always something that they wanted to eat. Getting a table to sit at can be hard work but we would find a table first and then take it in turns between me and my partner to go up and get the meals- again not really an issue for us we were never waiting more than 5 minutes for a table. Breakfast was great, lunch at the snake bar was my kids favourite and the evening meal again was great. The rooms, the rooms were fine, we really didn’t spend much time in them and never do. We were in them to sleep and get showered and dressed, the balcony we got was a bit small but again not an issue for us as it was rarely used. Cleaner came in everyday and did a great job 😊 The entertainment team were our favourite, these guys work so hard day and night and were fantastic, we always had such a laugh with them and can’t complain about them at all, we stayed most of the evenings for evening entertainment and my children went to the kids club some evenings and day times too. We mainly used the main pool however also went in the others too- no complaints. My two children loved the slides and went on them countless times. Overall I loved this hotel, I don’t have any complaints and we are looking forward to coming back again next year.
