Me and my friend stayed at Ideal pearl for 5 nights and returned last night. All I can say is that it was a vooooow experience. I am very surprised and aghast to see few of the bad reviews which don't make any sense. This hotel has a superb location, food is vivid and extremely tasty, staff is so very kind and hospitable who will do their best to give you the best experience, rooms are clean n beautiful. You can try and find flaws but I promise that you will be unsuccessful. They deserve 5 star plus. Please don't get carried away with fractional bad reviews as these are from people who are genuinely sad in their lives and are serial moaners. Thank you so much from bottom of my heart for such an enjoyable experience and time. Thank you xx

This was my first time in turkey and first time at this hotel. My partners been to turkey before and family come yearly so I thought lets try it out! I absolutley loved the country, beautiful sights, good weather, good shopping. The hotel on the other hand i would not reccomend.
The room was very small. Enough for two people but even then we were clambering over each other to move around, bed was a mortuary slab and very stiff. The hotel itself is very clean and the maids do a lovely job in cleaning your room and very friendly. However thats where my praise ends.
The staff including management were not helpful in anyway shape or form (my partner cut her toe whilst at the hotel, when we asked if they had a plaster they told us to go into town and buy one).
The entertainmant was minimal, bit of bingo, a belly dancer one night out of the week but apart from that felt very quiet. The pool is small and very overcrowded when it comes to sun beds (literally laying on top of the person next to you, so i hope you like them!)
The food is very repetitive, all the same stuff reheated but most of time its luke warm to cold at best. They do cook some things fresh such as fried egg/omlette (actually quite tasty) and bits of meat in evening on the grill.
DO NOT COME HERE IF YOU HAVE AN ALLERGEN OR INTOLLERENCE. They will not cater for you and they really do not care. My partner has a gluten allergy. Everything is listed to contain wheat, even things like plain chicken breast they throw some wheat and other seasoning on. We spoke to management to see if we could just have ONE plain peice of chicken (not too much of a silly request considering you pay for all inclusive and there was nothing else she could eat) however told that request was too much, and we jusy had to deal with it, which resulted in us eating out at resturants most days (baring in mind at thr moment of writing this, turkey is pricey and it cost over £100 for 3 meals out. This was a HUGE let down for us as we are not picky people, shes happy to just have salad and plain chicken but again they are not willing to cater for single guests. (Baring in mind there were at least 10 guests around the pool that were all struggling with similar issues. We bought our own gluten free bread and other bits as we understand it can be tricky but to felt like they could of not covered at leaat one bit of chicken in gluten. We were advised there was plenty of other choices (which there were) but ALL of them had some sort of covering, even the grilled fish was battered.
The waiters took a few days to actually speak to us, but were friendly when they did! The service was very minimal and it is a get everything your self kind of place.
The location is right behind main strip, 5 minutrs from the beach. and id say is best thing about the hotel.
Overally we loved turkey and we are looking to come next year, but i would not reccomend this hotel to anyone. It certianly didnt feel like a 4 star. Ive seen a lot of really great reviews and people saying how much they love it here, maybe we just had a bad experience but just trying to be honest.

Great hotel, lovely staff. Just outside is a little stand run by Mr Fish. What a guy!!!!!! Full of knowledge and so helpful. If you dont go find him, you have made a big mistake! He will make everything better!

Myself and my partner have just returned from a 10 night all inclusive holiday at this hotel. It is located close enough to the beach (250 yards) but far enough away from the busy nightlife not to hear any of the beats.
It was one of the best holidays we have had together.
The staff were excellent, Maids, waiters/waitresses, cleaners, receptionist, Chefs and many more were the most helpful and polite staff I have met.
The food choice and taste were excellent throughout the whole day. The entertainment was acceptable and both hosts worked very hard to please all aspects of the customers.
I would definitely return to PD hotels.
Thank you all for a very memorable, enjoyable relaxing holiday.

Myself and my wife stayed at this hotel for a short break. We had a fantastic time here.
Location - close enough for shopping, not too noisy at night, little road noise even when sitting at the pool.
Rooms - rooms were excellent, really well furnished, modern and comfortable. The cleaning staff (we were on floor 2) were excellent, friendly and worked with a smile on their face - room was spotless.
Bar area and pool area - excellent. No difficulty in getting sun beds, pool good temperature. Staff at the bar once again excellent Nük and the guys (apologies I can't recall their names) were excellent, always served quickly and in a friendly manner. Drinks again excellent and consistent.
Food - good selection, enjoyed the outside grill area. Would have liked more Turkish food available, but overall food acceptable and always found something nice to eat.
The entertainment - acceptable, maybe could be improved for night time with acts/variance in performance. Both hosts worked very hard with limited resources, and friendly and definitely not pushy.
I would definitely return to PD hotels.
Thank you all for a very memorable, enjoyable relaxing holiday.
