Panoramic View Penthouse Apartment, A-8 Seaside Park, Gulluk

This is our second visit to this apartment and the reason is easy to explain. If you want a quiet chill out holiday then this is the place for you. The apartment if well located, has all mod cons and the view from the balcony is to die for. There is a two hourly dolmus (2 lira) service that passes nearby into the village of gulluk. The complex has 18 apartments but while we were there no more then 5 were occupied. We usually had the well maintained pool to ourselves. Four local beaches also exist within walking distance with the med inn being the furthest There is a local shop for essentials and the village has a number of supermarkets. Taxi from village to apartment was 15 lira (less then £4 at time of writing). The apartment is spacious and comfortable with full use made of the washing machine and dish washer. My only regret is I feel obliged to write this review to reflect how good our time was there and in doing so I am making the world aware of this little piece of heaven when I would rather keep it a secret. Shhhhhh.

Julie. We were delighted that you have enjoyed your holiday (again) in our apartment at Seaside Park. We also think that the views are fabulous. Thank you so much for the review and we look forward to welcoming you back in the future. Jeremy

We were very disappointed that no mention was made of the fact that the property overlooked a very large building site at approximately 100 metres away with daily ongoing work and noise, added to which for our second week work commenced on the construction of a marine at the bottom of the hill, which was also overlooked from the balcony.
As a consequence the view from the infinity pool is no longer over the bay but gives a view of the tops of the building being constructed. Due to the foregoing circumstances we did not enjoy the quiet and restful break which we had anticipated.

I am so sorry that the building work on the Greenhill development beside us detracted from the enjoyment of your holiday. As you say, the new buildings impact the view in one direction from our pool, however there are still lovely views from the pool over the bay towards the west. Luckily the Greenhill development has little effect on the views of the bay from the apartment itself.

What a fantastic holiday location. The views from the apartment are breath-taking. Sea Side Park is a quiet destination outside the village of Gulluk, which is about to be improved with a new Green Hill development nearby. This will mean an improvement to the closest beach to the apartment, and the addition of a bar and café perhaps by summer 2015. (Which will be 100m away).

The apartment ‘does exactly what it says on the tin’. It was a perfect large living space for our family holiday. Contact with the Mavi agent was effortless, thoughtful and considerate. Yaman arranged our taxi transfers and was only a telephone call away. The facilities suit family life and we made full use of the dishwasher and washing machine. It was wonderful to be able to cook a proper meal and enjoy eating indoors and outside on the spacious balcony. The pool and the surrounding garden is well maintained. Contact with the owner was honest, clear and informative.

The Yasemin supermarket is quite rustic, however you will get the very basic essentials for snacks and drinks. The Yasemin Sites beach a short stroll away is wonderful, where you will find a snack bar, pool… and free sun loungers. I would definitely recommend living here, it’s a wonderful location. We did not have a car and made full use of the local Dolmus, however I could see car hire being a huge advantage to access the surrounding area as Gulluk is only a few minutes away.
We are already considering booking up for next year… perhaps for longer.
5 Stars from us.

Thank you for such a fabulous review. We are so delighted that you enjoyed your holiday in Gulluk. We are looking forward to our own holiday there next month. I certainly hope that we can welcome you back next year. As you say, we also expect that the Green Hill development will add to the local facilities without detracting from the peace and tranquillity of the location. Kindest regards, Jeremy

Petrea, thank you for your review. We are delighted that you had a really great time and we look forward to seeing you again soon. Jeremy (Petrea's review in English reads something like: "Everything was super ok, we will definitely return. The MAVI representative was waiting for us with the keys, showed us everything. Exceptional location, quiet for me and my family very well. During the 1990s we went to Turkey every year and we can compare to other locations. We can say that here we found what we wanted. Thanks a lot for everything and promise to see you next year. ")

We found the apartment spacious and clean. The television had a defect with degenerating picture which eventually disappeared altogether, access was a bit difficult with underfoot conditions rough due to adjacent building works.

However, overall we enjoyed our stay and I am sure the conditions mentioned above will be ironed out before long.

Robert, thank you for your comments and we are pleased that you enjoyed your stay in Seaside Park. We have replaced the television. The builders working adjacent to the apartments will make good the damage to the road as soon as they have completed their development.
