This was the second time we had visited Sherwood Exclusive after our holiday in the summer was cut short due to a family member going to hospital in Turkey. It was great to see the hotel in the height of summer and then in October. I loved my holiday on both occasions but it was obviously alot quieter at the end of October as expected, but also very enjoyable. Even though it was coming to the end of the season, there was still entertainment in the evening (2 shows, bands, bingo, entertainment team games) but not as many shows as in the summer. There was also activities during the day but again not as many in the summer but still plenty to do. We particularly enjoyed the aqua aerobics and afternoon darts which got very competitive! I loved the weather in October, the days were lovely and hot but you aren't desperate for shade, the sea is really warm and I was very pleased that one of the pools was heated which our daughter happily played in for hours on end. The heated pool was a big plus as the non-heated pools were freezing. The slides are BRILLIANT and despite landing in colder water we had hours of fun on them. The evenings were cooler than expected so take trousers and warm jumpers. We would like to say a personal thanks to Lucia who looked after us when we had a difficult time in the summer and when we returned...it was like returning to see an old friend. Lucia really looks after the guests and cares greatly that they have a good holiday alongside the other guest relations staff she leads. It was also nice that many of the staff remembered us which is quite incredible after the number of guests they have looked after since we visited in July. Evidence of a real personal touch. All of the team were helpful and polite despite there sometimes being a language barrier. Thankyou. Even though the hotel was quieter, the food was just as good as the summer and so much choice. I love the fact that at lunch you can choose from the restaurant where there is so much choice or sit over looking the pool and sea to be served. There is also another food place at the slides. You can also get Turkish Gozleme (pancake) and delicious meatball sandwiches from 4pm. There is a sandwich bar with so many cakes too, waffle place, ice cream!!!!!! So, much delicious food to choose from! I nearly forgot the gentlemen who serves Turkish tea...so attentative, thankyou. We had a duplex room which was very special. We had a view of the sea and the hills and loved that our daughter had a separate room and bathroom to us. These rooms are very special. In the summer we had a room with a double and single bed in which was simpler in style but just as nice. We were treated to a day in a gazebo on the pier where we were served our drinks and lunch and had our own steps to swim in the warm sea. Bliss My daughter and I also enjoyed the Spa. We both experienced a Turkish Hammam. As my daughter was only 10 she didn't have a scrub but enjoyed a chocolate massage! The staff were excellent. I loved my second visit to Sherwood exclusive and October sun. We are already looking to return next October and would like to thank Lucia and the team for a very special holiday in the sun in October but also for looking after us in the Summer when it wasn't the holiday we had planned. THANKYOU team Sherwood Exclusive Kemer... a fabulous hotel that we are looking forward to returning to.
