Olu Deniz is a beautiful resort with stunning scenery and very friendly people.

The beach is sand and pebbles with a steep drop into the sea which is not very good for children, but the lagoon has a sandy beach side and a shingle side which is better for little ones. There are beach bars on the beach which sell food and drinks which can be quite annoying as they are asking you every five minutes if you want something, you don't get this at the lagoon much quieter.

In the resort there are many restaurants we liked Joseph's, this year he has a new chef and we found it very good and a good price.

It is lovely watching the paragliders coming down but I did not try this myself.

We loved this resort and thought it good value for money

Olu Deniz is beautiful, the scenary is wonderful.

Hisaronu and Fethiye are accessible by the local dolmus. Runs every 5 minutes during the day.

Great holiday location.

Beautiful beach very clean not suitable for small children to swim in though as it shelfs very steeply, Lagoon area is ideal though especially just to the right as you reach the pinnacle.

The resort is a Paragliders heaven and you must watch out for them decending onto the pavement a tandem jump from 6500 feet cost between £55 and £75 depending on who you go with and you pay an extra £25 for the dvd, my hubby did it said it was amazing and he doesnt like flying.

No need to go all inclusive though plenty of resteraunts at very reasonable prices £4 for english breakfast etc.

Six island boot trip not worth the hassle though not at all relaxing jet skis, ringos etc bothering you at every stop and you have to pay any entry fees on top.

We couldn't believe how clean Olu Deniz was. By far the most spotless resort in the med.

The only thing that surprised us for the wrong reasons about Olu Deniz & Hisaronu was how expensive it was. We were paying about the same price for drinks as we do back home.

There are plenty of bars & restaurants to keep you fed, watered & entertained.

Our favourite bar was the Tequila Cocktail Bar - the music was amazing.

Cloud 9 bar on the beach front is a great place to watch footage of the days loonies jumping off the mountains.

Upstairs at the Buzzbar is a great place to chill out after you've had a hard day on the beach. They do excellent food downstairs too.

Crusoes is good for a place to unwind too - say hello to Arzu for us, but don't tell her that she has a Brummie accent!!

There were so many restaurants it is quite difficult to pick our favourite. For a chinese the China Sun Restaurant at the beach front does a very cheap set menu. The view of the sun going down over the mountains from here is superb.

The Help bar is very popular - but a word of warning, share a starter here don't have one each or you won't eat your main course.

Seacoast do a really fluffy jacket potato.

The Flying Dutchman do the bestest, tenderest entrecote steak I have ever had, but steer clear of the T-bone here (no pun intended).

There are too many to mention. Try as many as you can.

We booked several boat trips off the beach - all with Volkan 3, the biggest & best boat. The captains Tommy & Donny are great fun, as are all the boys on board.

The Sunday night sunset cruise is worth a go. At the time we were there it cost us £20 each all inclusive. The food was great.

We booked the Jeep Safari with 'Bloody Gorgeous' in the main street. The guy is a nutter, but great fun.
The trip was fantastic. Our driver modelled himself on Ali G - he was hilarious. We always do Jeep safaris were ever in the world we go & this was by far the best.

Everyone has to try a mud bath once in their lifetime.

Now we come to the beaches.
The main beach Belcekiz has very large pebbles making it quite difficult to walk on, & even harder to get into the sea as there is also quite a shelf here. If you follow the path into the national park and stay left you will eventually pass the restaurant area, keep walking & you will come to the part where the sea enters the lagoon - this was our favourite area. Shingly pebbles & hardly any shelving here. The sea is so many different shades of turquoise here it is beautiful.

We walked to Bob's Beach on the lagoon several days in a row. It was nice here but the beach is not sand, it is like cement dust & in the afternoon the lagoon goes rather warm & abit stagnent. The guy's at Bob's will pick you up from your hotel & return you free of charge if you do not fancy the lovely walk there. It is a very short walk to the restaurant here & it does a wicked chicken kebab & Turkish pizza.

All in all we had a great time on our first visit to Turkey.

I love Olu Deniz its one of my favourite places in Turkey.

We will return although prices have gone up a lot since last year. I've got my flights booked to Dalaman for next July and will decide where to stay later on.

I would recommend Olu Deniz to anyone the scenery is beautiful, you dont get much hassle and theres plenty to see and do there if you like water sports and trips.

Clean, and lots of places to eat and drink. Beach was very nice and the people are really friendly. There is a chemist just off the main road with more shops & cash exchange which are better prices than on the main drag.

The resort of Oludeniz is beautiful, there are lots of bars and restaurants to keep you entertained. Buzz bar is excellent and peppino's is full of life and crazy turkish men all there for your entertainment. The 12 island boat trip is a real must do. This can be booked through your rep for about £22.

As above but Lykia has no beach to speak of , very small and pebbles all along.

Sea very rough too but spend your day at the lagoon as its beautiful and full of turtles.

We would not go again but this is because we like to try new places out.

The resort is very relaxed with lots if extreme sports going on paragliding is very popular there great to watch.

The resort hisaronu is just a short bus ride away lots of bars and entertainment going on up there. We loved it highly recomend suncity very quite only 5 mins from shops and bars.

This was our first time to Olu Deniz and it was beautiful. We were picked up at the airport by private transfer and when we arrived, we though we had found a magical place immediately. We were surrounded by mountains, sea and met by lovely people and weather.

Olu Deniz is a little commercialised and you do get hassled slightly, but it is all in good fun and the minute you say no, you are not pestered and you are left alone.

We had a fantastic time. Rarely do we ever want to visit a place a second time, but we all agree it is one of the best places we have been to and we can't wait to go back. In fact we have just booked to return next year.
