Me and my best friend came to turkey just the 2 of us, I’m 23 and her 25. By the end of the first day we had already booked flights home and flew home after less than 36 hours in Turkey, when we were supposed to be staying for 10 days. The lifeguard at the hotel wouldn’t stop flirting with us and trying to get us to meet him at night time with his friends, outside of the hotel, and go to a beach and drink with them, he told us to meet him round the corner of the hotel at 11pm and he would buy us all the alcohol we wanted…He messaged me after we told him we wasn’t going to go and he asked us not to tell the hotel what he was planning, this goes to show that his intentions were not good ones as why would he not want the hotel to know? The events organiser at the hotel seemed lovely at first, asked me to follow him on instagram so he could send me tickets to a party that the hotel was taking part in but proceeded to message me relentlessly, asking if we could meet up to “just talk”, then telling me if I didn’t want to then to just say, so after me telling him “no thank you” he still proceeded to keep on messaging me and messaging me, with no reply after that from me may I add. Everywhere we went in the hotel they both seemed to hover around us, not leaving us alone and making us very uncomfortable. We were visibly uncomfortable and trying to ignore them but we also didn’t want to be rude, wich looking back now I wish we were! We felt so unsafe with how consistent they were that we ended up going back to the room and putting a cup on the door handle and folded cardboard under the door so they’d struggle to open it if they came to our room. I have never felt this unsafe in my entire life. I have gone to Lanzarote on my own at 18 and felt a hell of a lot more safe then than I did in turkey at 23. The only good part of the hotel was the bar manager, I can’t remeber his name but he was the same age as me (23) and he was lovely, he helped us the first night when the coach driver scammed us a little and was more than helpful with everything else we could have needed, he even rang his mum to check the bus times for us! If all the staff were like him then we would have had the best holiday, I genuinely cannot give him enough praise! Been trying to contact the hotel as I have screenshots of the messages from both the lifeguard and the events organiser. Looking at some reviews properly after coming home I can see a few complaints made about the lifeguard and it scares me. God forbid 2 young girls who aren’t as clued up as us had taken him up on his offer to go to the beach late at night, I don’t even want to imagine what could have happened.
