A very Nice Place
A very nice place. I was a bit scared by the recent comments on worsened service, dirty dishes, mosquito and wasps etc. but those appeared not to be true in my case (maybe I was lucky enough though.Upon arrival we were very positively surprised – new airport in Dalaman, opened just this summer (2006). Large, spacious building, no hassle.
Riviera’s minibus was very convenient and we got surprised once more – new tunnel has just been built, so that we saved about 20-30 min of mountain roads (took about an hour to get to Lykia, even though we were dropping other tourists to their hotels on the way).
We stayed in the Village, Lymra (L) blocks, type 1. Very nice room on level 2, close to reception and main bar/restaurant which was especially comfortable. We even didn’t have (or almost never had) to use a/c, it never got more than 26C in the room.
The main restaurant was just great – you can visit it almost all day long because they have breakfast, brunch, lunch, then snack line and then dinner which are all included in their Full Board+ system. The only thing you need to pay there for if you want is fresh juice (2EUR/glass). The local wine is by the bottles (ask waiter), and a very good wine indeed I should say. We also tried Marina restaurant twice, it was nice too.
I’m afraid I cannot give you any more comments besides what’s already been said except one negative thing (that’s why 9 out of 10). The pools in Kid’s Paradise were very cold, the water temp. Was reported 24C on info board but I suspect it was even colder. We managed to find one or two heated pools there but they weren’t suitable for small kids I would say (deep, with big slides). So you need to be careful not to catch cold (our kid unfortunately did, in fact).
All in all, a fantastic place to visit, surely worth trying.
I would be happy to help with more details, just please ask me if you have questions.
P.S. Staff is friendly, I had no problems with miscommunication or inattentiveness, the hotel seems to operate in 4 languages – Turkish, English, German and Russian, personnel wear badges where you can see which language they can speak.
