It has been home to the cultural heritage of Hinduism, Islam, Buddhism etc. Innumerable monuments, exquisitely carved temples, stupas, forts & palaces are dotted all over the state. Madhya Pradesh bagged the Best Tourism State Award in 2012.

myself my partner and daughter went here oct 2011. The village is lovely the pools are kept clean. the beach is ok once you get past all the pebbles and into the sea. Although I did hurt my feet. The turkish bath men just never leave you alone a real pain they are. Food we thought was really nice plenty of it although it does repeat with it being allinclusive. We really enjoyed the chicken kebab meat it was gorgeous. Bar staff and waiters really friendly. We had quite a good time here. Entertainment is rubbish and aimed more for the germans so it did get boring at night we was in bed early every night. Although this place is nice its not really for the english. That's just my opinion even still we made the best of what we could. Would I return?? No don't think so. I think we should have been told by firstchoice that this village was more for the germans etc before we booked. Night times was very dissapointing.

1st impression was good :1st day ,sunny and warm in a large modern and very well maintained complex . A long paved avenue adorned with palm and bannana trees transects fascilities inc. pools , restaurants and shops.Staff hard working and friendly.

I must explain that I love Turkey and have many fond memories of the warmth and hospitality of Turkish people . (I have travelled frequently for 40 years and spent several years working abroard - mostly Europe..I need to state this before the next bit)...

HOWEVER we were taken aback by the huge volume of people ,many from Norway , Denmark Russsia etc but SEVERAL HUNDRED from Germany whose numbers contained a shocking plethora of incredibly rude , remarkably ungracious and badly mannered slobs.

The vast main restaurant endeavoured to offer a wide range of buffet type choices and , to our dismay we found that the food was not so much poor in quality as truly appaling.The only way to survive this was for me to draw out some extra money and take advantage of the many dolmus taxibuses.So on several days we ventured to Alanya and found may great bars and restaurants and places of interest staffed by welcoming locals whose spirits had not been beaten down by several momtns of hoards of thankless ingrates.Each time we left felt like a great escape!!!
