Dalyan Resort Spa

Another perfect stay at the Dalyan Live Spa Hotel . Wonderful room on the ground floor with a garden view. Room was immaculate, spacious with great free WiFi and air conditioning which worked perfectly. Large walk-in shower in the bathroom. The hotel is pretty tranquil with hardly any noise after dark even when the bar is busy. Fantastic large pool and plenty of sun-loungers for everyone, between the pool & garden area . Great staff in the hotel - always keen to help and smiling. We had a lovely domestic too who kept our room immaculate. Special word for Ati, the barman who kept us amused with his chat and interesting stories and his excellent bar skills. The hotel is about a 15

Having stayed at many Dalyan hotels over 20 years, this was first time here & this is a fair & honest review. Lovely clean spacious modern room 316 which was facing over farmland & slight view of river delta which was lovely and quiet. Good facilities. Great start! Sadly the cleaners sat on stairs at side smoking which blew in through open bathroom window 😤 Pool area v pleasant and many mature couples wanting a peaceful holiday but this was ruined when large group arrived grabbing sunbeds at dawn with two undisciplined kids. One of them was skimming a broken pool tile right across pool towards my husband & could have caused a nasty injury. Not the hotel’s fault but it would make such a difference to guests experience if it was Adult only. It is a Spa hotel. Not a playground. Many guests we spoke to were not happy about it. The breakfasts were just ok. Repetitive . The warm food was cold! The omelettes made fresh & coffee were good though. The spa was excellent. Had Turkish bath scrub and 30 minute massage by Freda ( Indonesian) and she was excellent and very smiley & warm. We are used to the very personable friendly hospitality of the Turks but this was lacking in the bar staff. They were dour, rarely smiled, lacked basic English for orders and got drinks / cocktails wrong on several occasions. Our few friends who also stayed last year & recommended to us that as staff were fantastic stopped going to the bar and probably lost the hotel a fortune. Reception staff were more friendly but didn’t say even say goodbye when we left which was unusual 🤔 Many plus points but we wouldn’t come back I’m afraid as other hotels top this one unless they make it adult only and the staff cheer up a bit !
