We arrived quite late and were warmly welcomed by the friendly guy on reception. Shown to our room, we were very impressed with the quality of the design, fixtures and fittings. Beautiful glass mosaic lights, thick brocade curtains and everything squeaky clean. Two bottles of water in our room upon arrival and we had acquired extra milk sachets on the flight so a brew was quickly made to revive us. We paid to upgrade to a ground floor room with a terrace and we used this a lot so well worth the money for us. The upstairs rooms don't have balconies. We were lucky to get a corner room so it was nice and bright. Safe was handy too and no extra charges for this or the Aircon. The only thing we missed was an iron and they don't provide these, instead making a charge for an ironing service which we've never experienced before in our travels around the globe. The fridge was useful for storing milk and drinks. There is a rule about not bringing food or drink into the hotel, again another weird rule, but not rigidly enforced if you're tactful. We enjoyed breakfast sitting near the pool. Lots of choice and it varied a little each day. Excellent staff, attentive and friendly. The pool is quite small and there are plenty of sunbeds but very closely packed together. Luckily for us at this time of year it wasn't too hard to find solitude but could be an issue in the busier season. The bar prices are pretty high. For example 450 TL for a cocktail but some places in town only 300. Beer is cheaper. The gardens are cute and the hotel is next to the ferry over to Kaunos, the ancient city should not be missed. An easy walk from where the ferry docks. Ten mins walk to town and supermarkets en route. Got the bus to the turtle hospital which is easy to do and very interesting. Beautiful beach there too. We had late checkout but booked the shower room with reception, as the charge to keep your room is very expensive. Pleasantly surprised as there are two modern showers in there, with toiletries, a hairdryer and it's spacious and looks pretty new. We just kept hold of our room towels as none are provided in the shower room. I don't think it's worth paying to keep your room if you have a late flight. The shower room worked great for us! This hotel is a perfect base for your trip to the Dalyan River and although we never go back to a place as there's so much of the world to discover, if we did we'd stay here again. Lovely staff and a great hotel. Thanks to everyone for a wonderful holiday x
