This is a great hotel except for two smallish) points. The pool is too small and the sunbeds really crammed in. We just didn't bother and went to the beach. The leader of the activity team was just a little too fond of his own voice and tended to use his mic to shout at his favourite guests across the pool.

However the food was brilliant and the bar staff excellent. We had fresh linen every day and the rooms, although a bit poky and some dark (ours wasn't) were adequate.

Fabulous fabulous...... wonderful place booked to go back next year.

We booked to go back to Sun City (nice place) but Thomas Cook overbooked us and transferred us to Olu Deniz resort, but as it turned out the place was wonderful.

We were there for 2 weeks over the children's holidays, yes the beds are close together but there was never a problem getting one. The adult pool opened this year so I think that took some of the pressure off but throughout the day there were always beds available.

The entertainment staff were brilliant Bob arrived 2 days in and really should be in charge as the place lifted, then there was Maria Gusel D.J Mustapha and Meedo they made my boys holiday. The food was lovely and plentiful, you could eat from 7.30 till midnight.

The place is spotless and you get a card when you arrive for towels around the pool and beach so beach towels aren't really needed they replace your water daily in your fridge and also put in sparkling, but you will need an opener.

The bar staff are very quick to serve you.

All in all we had an amazing holiday here.

This was our 3rd stay at the Olu Deniz Resort, and we will certainly be back again next year. This hotel is excellent for families with all the amenities within close reach.

We took a trip out to Dalyan (mud baths0 with Easy rider, very cheap and an excellent day out.

All in all this is an excellent hotel that gives 1st class service.

This is a superb hotel. We stayed for 2 weeks on our honeymoon and couldn't have made a better choice. The sea view rooms are a bit of a mission, but the view is amazing and totally worth it. The food is fantastic, and we thought the choice was superb, with a bit of everything. Possibly not a lot if you only eat burgers and chips, but if you're willing to try something new it's definitely worthwhile.

We have recently returned from holiday from Olu Deniz resort hotel and thought I had better make a report
after shortly arriving at the hotel we were informed by other guests that there was a bug going round and sure enough me and the wife caught it.

After 2 days of imodium we were still the same with a small amount of other guests comming down with the same systerms we had to go to the local chemist and get some antibiotics which meant no booze.

We reported it to the rep and she confirmed that the bug had been going round for three weeks and stated it was the water so please buy water from the shop .

Now for the good bits the hotels location is very good with the rooms kept very clean and tidy clean sheets and towels every day the grounds are kept beautiful.

The food is all buffet style and looks very well but we didnt eat much in fact u can eat from 7 30am till 9 30pm if you wanted.

The activites are the same every day darts local radio for an hour morning gym, table tennis, rifle shooting, water polo and kids water polo.

Trips to go on are the mud baths and the boat trips.

Stayed for our seventh time here at the Olu Deniz Resort Hotel. Absolutely love it-it's ideal for families and my children won't stay anywhere else (even the now grown up ones)

Friendly staff, paragliding booked though ReAction was brilliant. Food and drink from breakfast til bedtime.

The Hotel is going Ultra All Inclusive for next year - extra pool, a la Carte resteraunt, stocked minibar etc and amazingly the rates are onlg going up by a couple of pounds per night. We'll be booking for next Spring!!!

When we visit in September 2008, this will be our third visit and we are more than happy to return. The hotel is clean, the food is second to none and the walk to the village of Olu Deniz is safe but during the day you do have to watch out for the parascenders decending on the promenande. The beach is clean and not crowded. The sea is warm and makes for a thoroughly relaxing swim. The Olu Deniz Resort have thought of everything the holiday maker is looking for and your only problem is where to visit should you be bothered to leave the resort.

We stayed at the resort in July, it was my first time in Turkey also all inclusive so I didn't really know what to expect.

I would definitely pay to be all inclusive again, I found that with having a seven year old child that I benefited from the Al, inclusive features.

I found the resort very clean and the maid tidied the room daily.

The location was superb but I felt that they relied on the beach to heavily for customers to sunbathe therefore there was not enough sunloungers to do so. People were getting up at seven am to put towels down to reserve loungers, we found this very annoying, perhaps an addition pool or policing of the area around 7am would ease this!

I found the Turkish food beautiful however it needs to be more varied because eating similar foods for two weeks can become boring, I think that newer options need to implemented to keep up with competition from other hotels.

Hotel staff were efficient and work extremely hard, I particularly enjoyed the shows they were funny and entertaining

We have recently returned from holiday to the Olu Deniz resort hotel and, after reading all the reports on here prior to going thought I had better put one on myself.

On arrival at the hotel we had the speediest checkin ever!We had our wristbands fitted(unfortunatly)and the bellboy took our cases to our room. This was in the ideal position, far enough from the pool area not to be disturbed by the noise at night but close enough for convenience.

The room had a double bed and a set of bunk beds for the kids.It was immaculate with a good size bathroom with bath and shower. The aircon unit was very efficient and was definately needed. One afternoon we returned and the beds had been decorated with flowers and rose petals,a lovely touch. the maids did a fantastic job.

The food here is all buffet and was to a very standard.The Staff in the restaurant were amazing and Mustafa, the assistand manager, always found us a great table. Huge choice of salads plus a great hot counter with meat dishes, veg and potatoes plus always a pasta option.

Occasionally they had a stirfry stand withall kinds of meat, veg and pasta which they cooked with sauces.

All in all the food was great but the place could have benefited from an additional restaurant choice.The food during the day was a little poor and very restricted to certain times of the day, ice cream 10.30-11.30 burgers fries and toasties11.30-12.30,Cheese rolls 2.30-4.30 tea and cakes 4.30-6.30. sometimes they made turkish pizza in the barbecue oven near the pool but only about twice a week.

The pool area was great if a little crowded but we did not have any trouble getting sunbeds, the pool area was, again, spotlessly clean. You could get soft drinks from taps at any time or from the bar.

The alcaholic drinks where a bit limited but we found there to be enough choice for us. They did pool games and aquarobics around the pool and also some other games away from the pool area.

The entertainment team at this hotel are great. Anil, Junior, Eddie, JJ were all fantastic doing shows of an evening which were extremly funny.

The hotel is ideally located for a five minute walk into Olu Deniz and along the beach road you must speak to Spice Boy who is great selling spices and Turkish delight.

Also do book all your trips with East Rider who is along the beach front road. thier trip to Dalyan with mud baths was fantastic. small group, great food, fantastic guide.

My son had agreat time driving the boat along the river. Also loads better value than the reps trips

This is the 6th Visit I have made to Olu Deniz but the first visit I have made to this hotel. It has exceeded my expectations but did take me a few days to adjust to the different style of holiday, normally I go bed and breakfast.

A word of caution I will state however do not request a seaview room unless you are athletically fit as these rooms are situated out of the complex and slightly up the mountain at least a 15 minute walk. Although very beautiful it did not suit me as I am asthmatic so therefore they moved my partner and I to a room right next to the swimming pool which was a very good location. Needless to say the staff are extremely helpful where needed.

Although my holiday was better than expected the advertising in some areas are not quite accurate so I will clear that up here:

It is described that the hotel is sat on a sandy bay- Oludeniz beach is a shingle and pebble beach but special swimming rubber shoes can be bought for
