Hi Bill
My wife and I stayed when it was the Elif and I must say it was awful so last year after the refurbishment we went for a nose round. The staff were really friendly and gave us the grand tour, the hotel is beautiful and all the work has been done to a high standard the pool area is lovely with lots of loungers the rooms are very trendy with newly tiled shower rooms all the communal areas are always lovely and clean. We had a drink at the bar and I must say the prices did seem a bit on the steep side but with lots of bars in the local don't let that put you off you will have a wonderful time and we both envy you

Hi
We stayed at the Elif abt 4 to 5 times 8 years ago but have to agree with andycross it did go down and was badly in need of a refurb. so decided to stay elsewhere, we did the same as andycross and had a nose around last year for old times sake, very lush and agree with everything he said also had a drink at bar but found it a bit expensive, going back in June staying at Chateau De Ville this year sea front hotel and quite small like the Casa Blanca

Doreen and Bill

Thanks for your replies,looks like were in for a good time,as for the drink price not to bothered as we are all inclusive.We will be going out as well, as we no the area well,we will still go up to sugars (Bufallo Bar ) for acheap one,and pay Sabri a visit,also zazzas the list goes on cannot wait.

Hi there, We were one of the first people to stay at Casa & Blanca last year. We often had the hotel to ourselves so perhaps this has coloured my judgement . The staff could not do enough for us, the rooms and beds were comfortable. It was a Turkish breakfast with plenty of choice, even on the days we dined alone, but the chef would do scrambled eggs or omeletes if requested. A good sized pool with really comfortable sun beds and pool towels. The restaurant food was of good quality, well cooked with good presentation and professional service, although the menu was not large. There was a reasonable choice on the wine list. The cost of drinks has been mentioned, yes, they are a little more expensive than the local bars. You may well like to check what your travel company mean when they say all-inclusive as the hotel states VIP all-inclusive and this does not include drinks.
We are booked to go back to Casa on June 2nd and I hope the hotel is as good second time around. Have a lovely holiday.

Hi Bill, Just out of interest would you give me an update on the all-inclusive and whether or not it includes drinks. We have booked direct with the hotel and can change to all inclusive when we check in. This is a possibility if it includes our drinks. Thanks.

Hi Ashington44
Have been in touch with my hotel provider and they assure me drinks are included,cant say who they are on this site but if you want me to email i can.

That would be great. Would book with Icmeler on line if they did this hotel.We will still book our transport and trips with them.
