Room allocation needs to be better thought out.. then this would get 5* from us
Group of 6 from the UK travelling with Jet 2
Arrived at the hotel around 2am. The receptionist was very pleasant and was keen to help us
I have to say, arriving to this hotel in the dark is probably not the best idea!!
Our room was 108- on initial arrival I was horrified to find this rather dated room, which seemed to be practically in the bar area, on the ground floor. The balcony was very, very small and we were about 2 meters away from the bar. I immediately told the receptionist that we needed to be moved. He listened however we couldn't be moved that night and had to wait for the day after
The following day, everything seemed much better (the sun helped!!). I mean don't get me wrong , the balcony wasn't used once in 10 days apart from putting wet towels on to dry ( and we are normally massive balcony people) but the view of the mountains, plus potential upheaval made for a change of heart- we remained in that room
My daughter had room 102 which was also ground level, backed on to the garden area , with large patio doors and a ladder close by to the main road- she felt unsafe and therefore they accommodated a move for her ; to a much better room on the 2nd floor of the hotel
The rooms, and lack of balconies is probably the main downfall of this hotel; there were rooms far worse than ours (which were again ground floor) where the balcony faced a wall, and where the cleaning staff smoked! I would not have been able to stay in those rooms, so hats off to those who did
Moving on from the rooms, which whilst are outdated, do have really decent showers and aircon.
We stayed bed and breakfast which was more than adequate and served from 8am- 10am- particularly liked the egg station where you could get omelettes, fried eggs, pancakes and scrambled eggs. There is no resemblance of an English breakfast (for those who do like that!)
The jewel in this hotel's crown (and the main reason we would consider going again) is the pool area. Has plenty of sunbeds- you could go down at any time of day and have a sunbed- no sunbed wars which was liberating!!. The pool was a lovely temperature with inflatables, balls being allowed in. For families with small children there are no lifeguards and the middle of the pool is deep. The pool was lovely and warm and we spent many hours in there. For ladies with dyed hair- I have bright red hair, it did bleach the ends of my hair white!!!
The pool area is probably one of the most relaxing ones I have ever been to; music at a reasonable volume (all tastes catered for) and a well-stocked bar. The bar and waiting staff are brilliant and don't stop cleaning.. Infact sometimes they are a little overzealous!!
The hotel prefer that you keep a tab with the bar, I just paid cash as I went, which they were fine with. The iced coffees are the best I have ever had- Starbucks could learn a few lessons from here! We had food a couple of times, which was okay.
On your last day they do have a shower room and you can "hire" a towel for 50tl- the shower room is boiling and slippy- be prepared!!
To make this hotel perfect, they really need to think about where they are putting guests who are staying 7 days plus; as far as I could see, the package holiday guests tended to be put in the ground floor rooms with poor location and balconies, with those staying 1 or 2 nights the larger, more modern rooms with decent balconies- make that make sense!!? I had emailed prior to going there, asking for a room not on the ground floor but it was totally ignored. The other thing which should be removed are the "rules" in reception area- They suggest that if you get makeup, hair dye, tattoo ink on bedding and towels you will be charged!! I spent every shower, worrying that I would get any of my hairdye on their precious bedding!! Thankfully I had taken a dark pillow case and hair towel with me . They also suggest that if you are seen bringing your own food or drinks into the hotel you will also be charged!! we weren't additionally charged for anything
The highlights are the pool, bar staff , waiting staff and location
The hotel has got a great location- literally 2 min walk to the main strip of olu-deniz, which when looking at other hotels they were a long way from the main area of olu deniz
If we could be guaranteed better rooms, we probably would go back; if not, the jury is out to be honest

Great Hotel
Im going to be honest, when i first arrived at this hotel i was dreading seeing the room because the outside is not very eyecatching. However, little did I know how surprised I would be with this great hotel. Firstly, Perfect location, get to enjoy the full extent of the strip without any noise as it is a perfect distance away from all of the main bars. The atmosphere of the hotel is fairly chilled out as it was not jam packed whilst we were there which we found very pleasant, and always sunbeds available throughout the day in and out of the sun. The rooms were exceptional with a great standard and our room was cleaned every single day (8 days of my holiday) with the use of modern technology to let cleaners know when to clean the room or not - and what a great job they do. The value for money was very good and budget friendly - roughly £300 for 8 nights! Moreover, the pool was perfect as it was never too full and they also offer a free pool table which we used a lot. The breakfast is the only thing i think could possibly be improved as there isn't very much option, however the customised omelets you can order was quite nice. Definitely book here
Great stay but some small improvements needed
We stayed earlier in the month. Overall impressed with the hotel however there were a couple of areas that need improvement. The pool was generally quiet with great staff who come round and check on you periodically. Drinks were great and reasonably priced too - would definitely recommend the strawberry daiquiri (ask for a spoon).
Location is great - quiet at night but only a minutes walk from the main restaurant and bar area.
Rooms are relatively basic but do the job. The beds are rock hard - I tend to sleep on my side and started to get swelling and bruising on my hips from where my hip bones were on the mattress. Air con is great and the rooms are cleaned and towels changed daily. I saw reviews saying don’t get a bottom floor room but we had one and didn’t have any issues with it (we weren’t directly next to the pool though).
Breakfast was OK - my partner loves a full English so was disappointed there was no meat at breakfast however they do have an egg, omelet and pancake station so that sufficed.
Would maybe stay again however would definitely stay again if the mattress is updated to something softer.

Full and honest review
First arrival at Hotel : on arrival to the hotel at 0930 we were told no rooms are ready and we had to wait until around 1300, has this was a package holiday the hotel would have know which guests would be arriving and when, you would therefore assume they have rooms ready. We spent a few hours walking around the area and sat for food and drinks, once in the room it was clean and tidy.
ROOM: basic but clean. Small fridge that was ok for a few bottles of water and milk ect. Tv with 1 x film and 2 x news channels in English, air con that worked, hair dryer (partner said it wasn’t good) but she’d brought a spare anyway. Lower floor with small terrace looking out onto the pool area, 2 small chairs and a tiny table outside, WiFi was hit and miss in the room but was ok on the terrace. Bed wasn’t very comfy (hard mattress) but most places of this rating are the same. 1 sofa in the room which was nice and saves sitting on the bed all the time. The bathroom shower was decent with either a waterfall head or hand held option. Room summary: basic but good.
FOOD AREA: hotel is b&b, the breakfast is standard Turkish lay out, salad / cold meats / cheese ect. There isn’t much hot choice but they do make omelettes / eggs fresh if you request them. There is cereals out but the milk is in cartons and just left on the side (not refrigerated or cold).
POOL: very nice clean pool area. Plenty of sun beds and no matter what time we went out during the day there was sun-beds available. The hotel doesn’t let people reserve them before 0700, after this time there’s the regular “reservers” putting towels on but only a few and really there was need to do this. The pool area is kept very clean at all times. Music is played during the day and does become repetitive.
STAFF: the regular serving staff (3 guys and 1 girl) were very nice, polite and worked all day everyday from starting at breakfast then working around the pool and bar for the rest of the day.
One of the main issues was the room cleaners. You have a digital button to show if you want your room cleaned or not each day. We set this to “clean” every morning but the cleaners only came in twice during the 7 days, on e they didn’t empty the waste bin and the 2nd time didn’t leave clean towels. So not really sure what they did.
SUMMARY: nice little hotel that was well worth the money paid. Improvement needed with room cleaning team and check in options when arriving outside usual check in times. We’ve stayed in 4 different hotels in Olu Deniz and would return here again.
Perfect hotel
Just returned from another fantastic time staying here. From beginning to end staff when more than helpful… shout out to Geoff at the bar…such a great bloke Rooms are good sizes, pool is perfect with plenty of sun lounges. Breakfast was fresh and delicious. Great location and so peaceful, worth every penny spent.
