The advantages of the hotel: fresh rooms, beautiful views from the balcony- pool, mountains. Very close to the beach (200 meters), grocery store-50 meters.Cons of the hotel: poor, miserable breakfast. Does not correspond to a 4* hotel. And...the most important thing is that it is very noisy. There is a large bar just behind the hotel wall. It hammers until one o'clock in the morning.Closed windows don't help much. Plus, there is an indoor bar on site. It can be hammered up to 12 at night. A quiet, peaceful rest will not work. The hotel is a hangout. Poor sound insulation of the rooms. I can hear everything! Slamming doors, talking, and so on. A lot of Englishmen. They can hang around the rooms until morning. In terms of location, Oludeniz. Everything is very beautiful!It's picturesque! But....wild prices for everything!!! for example, two sun beds and an umbrella - 600 liras! I advise you to buy an umbrella in the store and sunbathe on the beach on your own towels!
I was on the STANDARD ROOM ROH SINGLE USE (Breakfast) program in room No. 602 from the end of September to the beginning of October 2024.
Minuses:
As soon as I checked in, I immediately looked around and found no water and no cups either. There were no cutlery. Check-in was in the evening, I decided to go to the local grocery store right away. When I returned, I found that there were no towels either. I thought that this is how it should be and towels are not included in the price. This is my second hotel, I don't have much experience with these stars and what's behind them. As a result, I bought my own towels. Then I saw towels being brought to another guest at the reception. I thought it was very strange that you need to ask for towels and why the hotel does not immediately put them in the room by default. Or maybe it still depends on the program? ...
The next day I decided to go to the beach and wanted to leave my valuables in the safe. In the past, a 4-star hotel in Fujairah (UAE) had a safe with a digital lock right in the room in the closet. There was nothing like that here. I asked at the reception if there was a safe. I was told that all valuables can be left right in the room and put them deeper into clothes, clothes deeper into a suitcase, and a suitcase deeper into a closet and assured that in this case there is nothing to worry about. Then I noticed that in the hall there are safes with two locks and, it seems, in sufficient quantity so that each guest has his own safe deposit box. But I did not find out the details, perhaps the safe was on preventive maintenance or was not included in my program.
There is one shirt hanger and one for trousers in the closet. But I took two shirts. It was not very convenient. Especially a double room.
The blanket is very thin, for one person, and if the air conditioner is turned on at night (in the evening, it's too hot before going to bed), then I often froze, woke up and turned off the air conditioner. The air conditioner itself is weak, but it copes in the fall.
The smell of sewage all the time. Especially during frequent use of the bathroom by guests (morning, evening). If you leave the balcony open, it is more or less normal. Well, then you get used to this smell and you don't feel it.
There is no phone to contact the reception. We have it ourselves, but there is no phone. As I understand it, some other rooms have it.
The biggest disadvantage against which all other disadvantages fade is noise. Noise from two sides. From the entrance and toilet side (the toilet has an opaque window for air circulation) and from the balcony side. The noise sources are also different. The hotel itself is located on the corner of two streets. The first is the busiest central street in the city and there is a pub adjacent to the hotel with football broadcasts and a bar. Another street adjoins the first and across the street there is something like a restaurant (where the music usually stops earlier and you can open the balcony door). These establishments have their own animator, the presenter, and he periodically encourages the audience by singing along into the microphone or shouting something. The repertoire is the same every day. The same songs every day. You can even torture with it. There's even a baby shark on their playlist. All this traffic usually ends at one - thirty, sometimes it was possible to fall asleep to this noise after closing the doors to the toilet and to the balcony. But even after closing all the doors, the noise is still very noticeable. Earplugs don't help at all. The sound insulation is very poor. You can't hear what's going on in the neighboring rooms, but everything that happens in the lobby is more than that. The doors are designed so that in order to close the room, it is enough just to slam the door. Then it can only be opened with a key. I often woke up in the morning from these constant slamming by other guests. But he came to breakfast at 8:00 almost first. And in general, all these noises from the corridor - slamming doors, loud conversations are quite uncomfortable.
Otlel has other buildings on the territory. Maybe it's not so noisy there. My room was in close proximity to the noise sources.
What I was missing in the room:
- cutlery
- glasses, cups, boiling water
- clothes dryers
- hygienic shower
The area itself is a resort. Many things are not to be found. Or very expensive. For example, a SIM card of 1850 liras in Fethiye was found for 1250 liras in TurkCell.
Positive
Shower gels, hair conditioner, shampoo are available, but not used. I like to use soap (I take soap with me).
The balcony, door and window open onto the courtyard and the mountains. On the balcony, the air conditioners make a monotonous noise.
There is a small refrigerator.
Hair dryer.
Bedside tables.
There is a good a101 store next to the hotel.
The TV has 20 channels, there is Bloomberg in English and Russia24. The rest of the channels are in Turkish. The television itself is analog.
The beach is 3-5 minutes away.
Friendly staff. I spoke English with everyone.
There are no cockroaches. Rooms are being processed
Cleaning almost every day. Taking out the garbage and what it seems to them. A new roll of toilet paper. I had accumulated 4 rolls and 3 more were opened, apparently from a previous guest. Mopping the floors. Making the bed. The towels were not changed because I have my own. But it was also neatly folded (once it was probably confused with its own).
Rich breakfast (from 8:00 to 10:30):
Breakfast cereals, cornflakes, waffles, etc.
Apples, plums, melons, grapes.
Tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers, olives, olives, lettuce and herbs.
Various sauces.
Halva, chocolate cupcake
Omelet (sometimes burnt), shakshuka, boiled eggs, baked vegetables, French fries, sausages, beans.
Different types of cheese.
Tea, coffee from the vending machine.
The Turkish omelet is cooked right in front of you. And pancakes too.
As I understand it, the hotel only has breakfast. Then the dining room closes and you can use the bar (I didn't use it).
Other
There are separate buildings in the courtyard, a swimming pool in the center (not used).
The sea is clear and transparent visibility is 12 meters
The coast has a complex shape with many rocky islands, coasts and bays.
Paragliding. There are up to several dozen paragliders in the sky at the same time.
There is a place to go for a walk. Along the mountain trail to the abandoned city of Kayakey. Through the forest to the secret beach. Walk along the Lycian trail. Climb Mount Babadag by telerefic. Go to Fethiye. Etc.
You can forgive everything for the proximity of the beach and the Blue Lagoon. It's noisy because of the proximity of the bar, the breakfasts are pretty standard)) In general, it would be nice to add a kettle and glasses to the rooms. The staff is very pleasant.
