I would like to take this opertunity to thank the Manager Ali and all the staff at ocean blue High class hotel for making my stay at the hotel so peacefully relaxing, for going that extra mile and making not only me but my nephew James (who were not booked into ocean blue but another hotel)
Feel part of your family in such a sad difficult tine, We have experienced the worst two years as a family loosing loved one after loved one, sisters nephew, niece my beloved chihuahua phoenix, then for yet another sister to become extremely poorly,
As you can imagine the grief and upset I didn't want to venture or mix with anyone out of my comfort zone, The grief alone I feel broken as does my nephew, But Ali the manager and staff let James come and go from the hotel as and when he pleased no matter what time he needed me of I him,
Never a day went past that every staff member I bumped into throughout my day ( as I was head down making a bee line for a quiet corner tucked away) every single member asked "are you OK do you or James need anything "
They forever said please if you need anything don't hesitate to ask,
There is no cure for grief no magic pill but if there was a pill to ease your inner sole a little it would be called ocean blue hightclass hotel,
From me contacting Ali to see if he had a quiet room some where I could be alone but not feel alone be able to watch the world go by and know it's still turning,
Ali put me in a quiet room tooked away but with a pool view,
I was bed and breakfast which I have to say the breakfast was lovely and right on my room doorstep,
My room was cleaned daily,
Fresh towels everyday.
Kettle, cups tea coffee ect in my room,
A fridge stocked with every thing anyone could want from water to ice tea ice coffee cola Fanta sprite spring water effect,
A large wide screen TV that you can put your own Netflix password into and watch Netflix, prime TV, Disney TV if you have children with you,
The room are spacious and decorated with light co-ordinate colours and soft furnishings,
The balcony big enough for the table and 2 chairs as provided and a lilo i sunbathed on when I just didn't want to face really,
I had heard the Chinese whispers of how the hotel food was served cold and not alot if it,
Well I thought let's see what this fuss is about,
Well my purchased evening meal came piping hot and wow plenty of it, a three course meal for very little cost,
My breakfast was always hot, and come on it was a buffet breakfast you can eat and drink all you wanted,
The drinks from bar were on point nothing no cheap brands no expense spared,
I am a great believer in a holiday is what you make it
Yes there was bew staff due to some unforeseen issues with old staff and some couldn't speak fluent English,
But how many of you complaining can speak fluent Turkish,
The problem were and is that people who were regular guest don't like change, and are set in their ways ,
Don't blame the Hotel or staff for your holiday dampness as there us nothing wrong with the hotel or its staff,
They work exceptionally hard and work very long hours, for less than what you probably earn a day but you don't hear them complaining, They dend over backwards to tend to your every need, and as much as the ones that complain the staff still have a whopping big smile on their faces the still wish you good morning and bid you good night, and ask if you need anything, carry your sun loungers to wherever you want them despite your complaints,
The hotel hasn't gone down hill it's still where it were,
It's still how it were,
Ali and staff are still amazing,
Maybe look at yourself and around you, probably not the sane crowd of guests it was the year before and that's what's not same,
Some people don't like change,
The only change I experienced was new staff and different guests,
But what a fabulous bunch they are,
Nothing was too much to ask them for,
Even cleaners were making characters out of towels that made me smile.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart Ali and every single member of staff,
Give yourselves a pat on the back,
As most of you especially Ali need a gold medal for carrying on regardless,
And thank you all for been so kind and understanding not only to me but my nephew,
