Friendship Travel

2* Era Hotel - Oludeniz

An exclusive Friendship Houseparty

“The holiday has been fantastic, exceeded all expectations” - John Leicester

This simple hotel, built in 1997, is officially rated 2-star and has all the key ingredients for a great value week in the sun. The Era is exclusive to Friendship Travel all summer, with two British hosts based here in Turkey. Our All-inclusive board basis at the Era means that you can budget with confidence, without worrying about too many ‘extras’.

The focus of the hotel is the turquoise swimming pool surrounded by good-sized sun terraces with sun-beds for everyone, with a shady bar and al-fresco dining areas. Though the hotel is traditional, there are plenty of nice touches in the wood panelling of the bar, the hubble bubble pipe and the odd hammock tucked away in shady corners of the garden.

The ensuite, twin-bedded rooms – for sole occupancy of course – are a good size, each ensuite and with bath and beach towels provided. Standard ground floor rooms – on which the holiday price is based – have a terrace; rooms on the first and second floor have a small balcony.

The hotel is 10 minutes’ stroll from a good choice of bars and shops for after-dinner drinks and nightlife, as well as the weekly market. The bus-stop is 7 minutes walk, for easy trips down to the Blue Lagoon or over to Fethiye.

All-Inclusive details

Food is fresh, local and plentiful. The buffet breakfast is a ‘come-when-you’re-ready’ feast; lunch is a plated salad or sandwiches and dinner in the evening is a set menu or buffet. The All-inclusive package includes – from 10am until 10pm each day – unlimited local spirits including vodka, gin and raki, wine, beer, soft drinks and bottled water (all served by the glass). Ice creams are available between 12 noon and mid-afternoon and then it’s time for afternoon tea! You will be glad to know that there are no bathroom scales in the hotel! Please note that, by popular request, dinner is not included on two evenings, so that we can try out the local restaurants (at your own expense).

New for 2012

Summer 2012 sees more improvements at the Era, including new larger balconies, an extended restaurant area plus new lounge seating area.
