This resort is very clean, try and get up very early one morning and see some of the shop owners asleep amongst their goods (no pilfering here).
Resort entertainment, many bars and restaurants offering grat food (look out for the last restaurant down the main steet on the left upstairs before reaching the beach, friends were not pleased at all with the quality and the prices.)Bars played hard rock videos, Live Elvis, Sport etc.
Main beach sand and a little shingle, sea drops off deep quickly. only used it once, great fishing trip.
The lagoon beach is the one to visit, great snorkling,
snorkles and flippers can be hired for pennies.
beaches kept very clean.

A very low key resort, ideal for couples & young families. We liked the fact there were no loud discos every night & indeed shortly after 12 the noise levels dropped considerabley. Plently of restaurants to eat in. Quality, like any resort varies, however that is part of the fun, finding the best resturant. Tip: try the Bella Gusto on the promenade (fillet steak with pepper & red wine sauce). We did not have a bad meal whilst there however the White Dolphin Resaturant was relatively expensive (£38 for two main courses & a beer each but with views to die for. If you go, go just for a drink & sight of the sunset).

Main beach was spacious however the famous Blue Lagoon was disappointing as very cramped & part of it was pebbly.

The skies were always a sight to behold with numerous paragliders descending onto the promendae in their brightly coloured parachutes.

In a whole week we never saw a cloud. What more can we say? Go there try it.

The resort was very clean and very friendly. The beech areas were very good and so many restaurant to choose from. We ate out most nights and tried lots of different eating places and we can honestly say all were 1st class and excelleent value for money.

The resort was extremely clean and once a week they would go around the rooms and spray then with mozzie spray which was realy good and helpful.

The beach is out of this world when you go there it dosen't look real its reall hard to explain.

What can i say about Olu Deniz and the lagoon. To me it gets no better than that. It has got to be one of the most beautiful places ever. The resort itself although not as commercialised as other places is lively enough to keep you entertained. The beaches of Olu are wonderful especially Bob`s Beach (you get there on a free mini bus). It`s wonderfull to lie on the beach and watch the paragliders glide down from the mountains. Love the place can`t wait to go back.

The resort is quite small but there`s plenty to do.

We went paragliding,horse riding and visited the ghost city. The lagoon was absolutely fabulous as was St Josephs beach,very clean. The kids enjoyed feeding the fish when they swam right up to them.

We had a very mucky day at the mud baths,but had to be very careful as it was very slippery!!! but great fun. My daughter cut her chin in the aquapark but the staff rallied around and took us to hospital,they were brilliant.

I know many Members have posted about 'Bobs beach' as my Friend had been there before we decided to chill out on the 1st Day, it was lovely and the snack we had at lunchtime there very good too, as a matter of interest this beach now offers a free courtesy service to the beach, both ways I have the phone number if anyone is going please Pm me and I will gladly pass it on.

Quite by accident a couple of Days later we found another idyllic beach further along, Josephs again lovely although with it being quite small I am not sure how packed it might get in the middle of Summer, also they too offer the courtesty lift to their beach, (have the number if you PM me) Joseph himself is very hospitable and makes a great fuss as you arrive, offering free apple tea, we had to titter though when my Friend asked if it were possible to have a cold drink instead, Joseph wasn't quite so keen on that idea however I have to say his little Restaurant on the waters edge is idyllic, almost like Shirley Valentine's, and the grilled king prawns are the best we had ever tasted served with salad and washed down with a cold beer (unfortunately not Efes as he serves Tubourg).

Revisiting Kaya Village we really chilled out at Muzzis opposite Kaya, again an excellent lunch, and a welcoming atmoshere, we whiled away the whole afternoon sat in the Turkish Countryside with only the birds singing to disturbe the peace.

Best meals for us in Olu were the Oba, excellent T Bone steak, and we got just what we asked for everything was perfect, Captain Hooks too at the Asena Beach, was very very good, if you like fish soup you will not be disappointed and also the chatua Braind, you are treated like Royalty.

Worst and most Disappointing was at Josephs opposite Captain Hook, my Friends Husband ordered Meze, and it was really just a plate full of dips, with nothing to 'dip in' not one of the four of us would recommend the meal there, although my Husband and I ate there a couple of Years ago, standards had definitely declined, the whole meal (apart from the soup) was very boring with small portions.

We also tried the Olive Grove which came in at a good second to the last two I mentioned, my Friend was amazed to find that a very good Restaurant 'The Grapevine' has now gone, we found the Guy that used to run it working at Captain Hooks, he said in time he hoped he may be able to open a new 'Grapevine' but it depends on finding somewhere reasonable to rent 'bless him'.

Be aware that some places in Hisaronu are advertising meals and drinks in £1 sterling, of course when you go to pay in Lira, they offer a very bad exchange rate which some people would not realise when paying, the one I would like to name and shame had to be Mamma Mias were we had four milk shakes, and they tried to charge us an amazing £4 extra, unfortunately for them they picked on the wrong ones, and we protested to be given one or two lame excuses, we stood our ground and paid the bill less the £4, and the Waiter did not get a tip

It is well worth visiting the Saklikent Gorge, to see the amazing rushing rapid waters, we didn't even attempt to wade through, but you can go rafting on big rubber rings there if that appeals it looks good fun, from what I saw you can do this by the hour, again we whiled away a lazy lunchtime at the Paradise Restaurant just down the Road, it only cost us £9 for two for salad grilled meat, bread and of course the Efes.

Whilst there of course we really had to 'treat' ourselves to some Turkish gold' well we couldn't leave without some both my Friend and I found the gold at the Telmessos of good quality, I had a ring that I bought from Greece about ten Years ago, which I love but the shank was wearing a little thin, they renewed the whole shank and cleaned the ring for an amazing £20 it now looks like new, also their gold comes with a guarantee that allows you to change the gold within five Years, or to repair at no cost any fault within five Years.

Olu Deniz is one of my favourite Resorts in Turkey.

The resort was very clean,There was plenty of enterainment for all ages.The beaches, one is pebbles but if you get the free bus it takes you to the lagoon which is just around the corner, where there is sand , sunbeds,bar,and a resturant.There are pedelos and canoes. Which you can hire .

The resort was fab. A bit of a building site when we arrived but to be honest you sort of expect these sort of things outside of the UK. The beauty of the mountains took by breath away - although if you are scared of heights just close your eyes when on the coach going down into the resort!!!! The Blue Lagoon is really lovely, the main beach is shingle so you will need some flip flops! When out eating try The Vic, on the front and make sure you have a Gondala Pizza(not a normal pizza), ummmmmm very nice!!!There is so much to see and do both in and around Olu Deniz that we are having to go back again just to do some of the things we missed the first time round!! The markets and shops are a must if travelling to Turkey!

I was astounded at the cleanliness of the place. As this is not what I was expecting from Turkey. The entertainment was also varied and good fun. Beach stoney with the sea shelving quite steeply, but lovely views. Still very clean.
