Dalyan Resort & Spa

This is a delightful, peaceful hotel with beautiful and well kept gardens and lovely swimming pools, gloriously situated on the riverside. The hotel has obviously had some money spent on it recently, freshly painted and new furniture. The food is good and very reasonably priced, breakfast is buffet style around the pool whereas, lunch and dinner are a la carte. The staff are attentive and lovely, always happy to help you with any request to ensure your stay is perfect. The spa facilities are very good. The hotel boat to the beach twice a week is an additional treat. All in all, it is a wonderfully relaxing hotel to enjoy a lovely holiday supported by great staff.

You are led to believe that Dalyan Resort Spa Hotel is different from Dalyan Resort Hotel as they have different websites, but it is all one hotel. We booked on the basis that no children under 12 would be there but this only applies to the pool on the left side of the reception area, which is the Spa side. The bar and restaurant you have to use is on the right side of the reception area which is the Resort side, where children over 3 years old are allowed. So a big part of the complex could be quite noisy at times if there are children at the hotel. Both pools have a minimum depth of 1.4 metres. I booked Dalyan and Resort Spa thinking it was a separate hotel so I was misled. Luckily only a few well behaved children were there during my stay.

This hotel was lovely and friendly , we booked it on a friends advice and were not disappointed The bedrooms were appointed well and the bed was perfect for my wife as she was at least 3 feet away from me LOL The staff were attentive and could not fault them at all The food was excellent and the breakfast in particular as they would take time out to explain some of the dishes and cakes on offer , most of the cakes were homemade and the carrot jam was unbelievable , the bar staff were excellent as were all of the staff the Spa was good and would recommend it Cannot wait to go back either this year or next year

This is a tranquil and beautiful hotel with well kept gardens in a gorgeous location. The beds were awesome and the spa facilities were lush. Try the Turkish ( haman). The rooms were comfortable and quite well appointed. We had some of the best nights sleep with the bed being so comfortable. The dawn chorus was impressive with the local bird life. The only down side to this place is the breakfast, which was sub standard. A distinct lack of fruit and the real option was eggs (fried/ omlette) via the one saucepan which caused quite lengthy queues. Fruit juice wasnt included with the breakfast ( that was chargeable to your room at 55 Turkish Lira per glass). Any coffee or tea after breakfast was also charged together with Water. This place would be off the chart if they sorted out their act. Thank heavens for the local restaurants and bars. The best kebab in Dalyan is Hamido. Simply amazing.. La boheme is a lovely restaurant with incredible views of the river and the cliff tombs. The people were so friendly and welcoming. We cant wait to return...

The hotel is great . I had such a relaxing week at October half term. A big thank you to all the staff for their hard work. Loved the breakfast staff and the table train! . Nothing was too much trouble. The breakfast outside in the sunshine was such a treat. The housekeeping staff and pool staff were really kind. Omelette chef was brilliant .Mr Riaz was very helpful and kind at reception running a great team of staff. The spa staff were absolutely amazing . I had the best massage ever from very skilled staff. . Ms Elif the spa manager works very hard and the whole experience was really relaxing. I had a lovely girls week away with my mum. She enjoyed the whole week too. A little piece of paradise, beautiful weather too. We’ve booked again. Can’t wait. Thank you all.

Beautiful area with lots to do, food great, people friendly and welcoming, stayed here 3 times and will definitely return one day, nice relaxing holiday. Only a short trip from the airport, nicest place in turkey we have been to, we stayed at the alla turka hotel it's very nice with lovely pool and food was good, lots of restaurants and shops , also really nice boat trips to the sea. And if like history well it's everywhere.

If you enjoy large, sterile hotels, with 5 restaurants, a pizzeria, and chips with everything, plus activities thrust at you on the hour, then this is not the hotel for you. This is a lovely, peaceful, Turkish hotel, with fantastic locally sourced Turkish food, with a delightful Turkish chef, who kindly shares her recipes. The hotel is on the banks of a river with boats going by, little pontoons with sunbeds and a boat service to the beach twice a week. If you want to go another day tell Riza at Reception and he will arrange for a boat to stop for you. You can take any boat back from the beach, (there are signs). The trip to the beach is about 35 mins through the marshes. Beautiful. It was about £3 for 2 sunbeds for the day and there are toilets and a cafe serving very reasonable food. NB This is not a commercial beach. The turtles come first. You can walk to the turtle sanctuary but its about 5km. Alternatively a taxi ride from the hotel. We tried a number of riverside restaurants for lunch in Dalyan town, (a 15 minute walk), all were excellent - and we saw a turtle! You do not getting hassled in town. And if you are lactose intolerant there is a stand selling lovely goats milk ice cream. The pharmacy is at the very end of town near the turtle roundabout. Kaunos- take a right then left out of the hotel and walk past a lot of chickens. Take the car ferry across the river and then walk for about 10 mins up a small hill past the lady selling pomegranate juice. Turn left for the ruins, amphitheatre, roman baths etc and right to see the rock tombs. To get back, a rowing boat near the rock tombs will take you for a few lire. The setting of the hotel overlooking the river and rock tombs is magical, Ali, Riza and the team are helpful, and our rooms on the first floor had everything we needed. There is lots to see if you enjoy exploring or maybe even a bit of fishing, and the Turkish food is fabulous and plentiful. We hope to be back very soon and thank you.
