Hi ,

I have just returned from a wicked holiday at The Seaside in Ortakent. I can't totally put in words how much fun my friend and I had.
We went on the Adult Only week in May 08 and truely can't fault anything about the whole week.
The room we stayed in was great and the hotel facilities as a whole were fab.
The food was great , sooo much to choose from every day and really fresh.
I have to say that one of the main things that made the holiday for me were the people. Both the Neilson Staff and the other guests. Everyone was sooo friendly and helpful.
James and Gary did a fantastic job and were sooo approachable and sociable at all times. Rusty's beach team were fab as well although I didn't do many of the beach activities on this holiday as we focusing on the wakeboarding but my friend and I got to know the team throughout the week and they were such good fun and really helpful and next time will make more of an effort to do some of the beach activities :)
The main team who my friend and I spent the most time with was the pontoon team and they were awesome. We payed the additional supplement to get guaranteed sets in each day and it was 100% worth it . Oly was our main instructor throughout the week and he was superb. I am totally missing his tuition back home already as his teaching skills are spot on. We both improved loads over the week and him videoing us on our boards and then giving constructive feedback really helped.
It was my first Neilson beach holiday and I can't believe I haven't discovered them before. I will defo. be going on another , in fact a group of us are hoping to head back out to Turkey in Sept./Oct..but would be even better if Neilson decide to put on another "Adults Only Week" as we will defo. be booking for that one :)
Thanks to the whole Ortakent team !
