I think aside from Lykia which I know is FB, there are only three AI hotels in main Olu Deniz. The Club Belcekic Beach Hotel, Club Sun City and the Olu Deniz Resort hotel. Only stayed at the first one but I would think they will all be suitable for children of the age you mention. The BB does get fully booked out most summers though & I think the other two are pretty popular so it might be worth starting to check now.
Good Luck, Doe

my friends stayed at the sun city and loved it, ive heard good reports about the belcekiz and olu deniz resort, the other all inc we stayed in which was in fethiye about 8 miles from olu is letoonia this is very similar to lykia but slightly smaller but is fab and scenery lovely, i did prefer lykia but letoonia is 24 hr all inc and has some international brands, it has its own website so have a look

Thankyou the letoonia does look really nice but still pricey. would self catering be a better bet then? gosh its so hard with leaving it too late. gona book for lykia next year. so may go simple this year but really want something for kiddies, baby sitting was a main thing too.

have you looked at the option to do diy i know you can use tescos vouchers for somewhere2stay.com and they do lykia and letoonia, just a thought

i think the alize hotel in olu deniz is a cheaper all inc but not sure what its like i know it has some slides

there isnt any sc in olu itself as far as im aware mainly bb so you would be better to look at hisaronu for sc, which is about 2 miles up the hill. olu is nicer as its right near the beach

Ive stayed at the Belcekiz and at the sun city . We enjoyed both although Belcekiz would take the lead but IMO out of those 2 I think the sun city would be better suited to your childrens ages and you could get a much better deal there because its quite widely available ,you could even DIY but the Belcekiz is only available through Portland/thomson. the BB seems to attract lots of families with older children . at least that was the case when we were there but the SC had lots of younger children. The olu Deniz resort also looks good .

There really isnt any Self catering in Olu although you could do Bed and breakfast or half board. Other good choices there would be the Asena beach or the Karbel.

I agree with Lyn and Karen. If you want to do Olu Deniz on a budget, there are loads of nice smaller B&B hotels. For some reason Olu doesn't seem to have much SC.

Hisoranu seemed cheaper than Olu on all counts. Shopping, eating, drinking & accommodation. You really have the best of both worlds with these two resorts. Apart from flogging up & down the hill between the two in the dolmus all the time. LOL.Although they do have a slightly different feel to them.

Good Luck with Lykia for next year, don't forget to book early, my holiday has gone up a lot since I booked last year for this summer.

Thanks everyone you all really helped.I only found out about using tesco vouchers yeaterday so we going to save them up for next year hopefully for Lykia world. we are going to choose one of the above hotels that you mentioned as they are the best from the reviews part. Thanks again we cant wait as it sounds really nice in Oludeniz.We looked at diy ones but not comin up much cheaper at this late stage, something to think about another time though.

a great hotel for young children is the grand ucaler (spelling is wrong )in ovacik near hisaronu with water slides can view this on u tube
or maybe nicholas park hotel hisaronu
direct link to this hotel on links on my website or the sarhan ovacik
or the gunnes hotel ovacik that is a nice family run hotel

Thankyou I will check them out
