Dear Fairway Golf Holidays
With regards to the recent golfing trip
myself and 6 friends had to Belek Turkey, I would like to add the
following.
From the initial contact with Fairway Golf Holidays through to the
departure date we were always given clear, accurate and timely
information. None more so than when our initial trip had to be delayed
due to the air travel disruption caused by volcanic ash clouds. This
disruption only enhanced your reputation as your ability to reschedule
our trip in such short notice was well received by all in the party. I
was personally being thanked for my organisational skills!!
We were initially recommended the Cornelia Diamond but unfortunately
due to the rescheduling of the trip we had to stay at the sister
complex, Cornelia Deluxe. However, if this was the lesser of the 2
hotels then all of the travelling party were in full agreement that we
landed lucky. From the Champagne (or sparkling wine to most) reception
on arrival to the late check out on departure. The A La Carte
restaurants were superb with special attention given to one member of
the party that had a birthday. Even the buffet restaurant catered for
everyone's tastes so no one went hungry. Daytime and midnight meals
were also a welcome addition. The drinks served in the All Inclusive
package were branded and generous in size. The warm welcome of the
waiting staff and evening entertainment was excellent
We all went to Turkey knowing that we would average around 5 hours a
round of golf so no one was losing patience when this was the case. The
3 courses we tried, Faldo, National & Dunes were all tough but
thoroughly enjoyable all the same. A couple of other notes:
I had left a digital camera at the pool one day only for it to be
handed into reception same day. Shame on me for doubting it would be
any different.
I unfortunately picked up a bad eye infection and the hotel was quick
to arrange a nurse, who in turn got a doctor, who in turn asked that I
go to hospital to see an eye specialist. The whole procedure was
impeccable, even down to the taxi costs being added to my medical bill
for submission to my insurance company. 24 hours later my vision had
improved enough to golf again.
Our flight had a 13 hour delay coming home. Within 1 hour of the
initial departure time, Thomas Cook had organised for 250 people to be
taken to a 5 star hotel in Antalya where we were all fed, watered,
accommodated and collected again at 3.15 am for the delayed flight at
5.30.
We got back to Glasgow in time for 4 of the 6 to travel to Hampden to
watch Dundee United lift the Scottish Cup for the 2nd time in their
history. What a great end to a wonderful week.
I can confirm that not only myself but the others that travelled from
the UK would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Fairway Golf
Holidays. It was a recommendation that put me in touch with yourselves
in the first place and I can see why.
Many, many thanks and best regards
Ian
