Top 10 Iztuzu Beach Hotels

We chose the Hilton Dalaman for our family holiday during October half term, and it exceeded our expectations in many ways. Location: The beautifully maintained hotel offers a touch of luxury, especially in the Lake House Villas where we stayed. The surroundings and atmosphere were perfect for a family getaway. Dining: The dining experience was fantastic with a plethora of food choices. Special mention to the attentive waiter in the Breeze Bar who shared a personal touch about his upcoming wedding in Morocco. Cleanliness and Maintenance: Throughout our stay, the hotel was spotless. The attention to cleanliness added to the overall appeal of the resort. Accessibility: The buggy service was a convenient way to navigate the expansive resort, making it easy to explore different areas, including getting to and from the villas. Entertainment and Activities: The evening shows were truly impressive, with big productions that captivated both adults and kids. The water slides were a highlight for our children, and the variety of food options and the on-site ”zoo” (more like a farm) added to the entertainment. Atmosphere: The friendly family vibe was great, although the presence of many British visitors might be a factor to consider depending on your preference. Upgrades and Room Experience: We upgraded to the Lake House Villas, a decision that significantly enhanced our experience. The garden room, while okay, felt a bit dated and small. Some maintenance issues, like failing taps in the main restaurant toilets, could use attention. Minor Improvements: While the majority of the pools were a bit cold, you eventually adapt. It's worth noting that there was no complimentary à la carte meal, which differs from other all-inclusive experiences in Turkey. Recommendation: Despite some minor points, Hilton Dalaman stands out as a 5-star resort. It's one of the best all-inclusives I've experienced, and I highly recommend it for a luxurious family retreat.

What we liked: The hotel is super clean. Our room was great, big and beautiful. We walked with barefoot on the floor, because of the cleanliness. The bathroom big enough and clean. The products in the bathroom are from L'Occitane, a premium manufacturer of shampoos and cosmetics. The surrounding of the hotel is very pleasing. Everywhere colorful plants, flowers and trees. The setup is just amazing a little bit of Italy (Toskana) and Thailand. Carefully decorated with a high degree of pleasing details. The pool area is just as amazing as the rest. The pool itself is filled with warm water. There are enough towels and sun lounger. Don't miss the amazing sunset. Just beautiful. In summary, if you want to avoid the crowded place and appreciate privacy this is the place to be. Staff is very friendly. You get a fresh cocktail and a plate of fresh fruits as a welcome gift. What we did not like: As much as we liked the hotel the breakfast and the service was not able to keep u with the rest of the hotel. Breakfast with one word was catastrophic. To put it in perspective. The hotel has ”only” 11 rooms. So the amount of guest waiting for their breakfast is more than managable. They only had one official waiter. The selection was really bad. Some jams, which we did not like. Some sausage with eggs (turkish dish), olives. That's it. No chocolate cream or cream cheese. What really was disappointing was that we constanly had to ask for bread. It was as if they intentionally wanted to annoy the guests. As the waiter always brought one or two slices of bread. Even other guest were really pissed of. The ”highlight” was that we asked for orange juice, which was not fresh, it was packed. They did not tell us, that orange juice is not for free. So it came in surprise to us when we checked out. Nobody told us. This is a scam. They had filter coffee and instant coffee as well as coffee from a coffee machine. The filter coffee was for free. Unfortunately the filter caffee was not always available. Instead they provided us with instant coffee powder, which was also billed at checkout. Again nobody told us, that this will cost, let alone, that it is more than rude to sell instant coffee. In summary the breakfast does not match the price tag and is disappointing. Not a good way of starting into the day. Eating at the hotel restaurant is kind of gambling. There is no information available regarding the available dishes and of course price tag. You have to ask. And I can tell you, the price will depend on who is asking. This is ridiculous and does not suit the ”wanna be” high quality of the rest. The hotel is accessible by a gate. You drive with your own car into the premise. Driving in and out is annoying, as you have to wait until somebody notice that you want to drive in or out (precious time is wasted). In summary, this hotel could achieve 10 of 10 points, by changing litte. Breakfast is no rocketscience. Staff is really friendly but not always

Finishing off a ten night stay here at L Hotel for my partners 30th birthday and I can honestly say it has been a holiday to remember. We got a swim up room which unfortunately was in the shade by 1pm however that didn’t put a shadow on our holiday as you can easily go the other side of the pool for more sun. The team are phenomenal and couldn’t do more to give you a good holiday. Ali was wonderful and put a smile on our face every evening. Devran (spelling here may be incorrect, so I apologise!) was always super helpful in the morning for breakfast and was always lovely in the town when we saw him also. All the team from reception, bar, kitchen, housekeeping and management all went above expectations and were always carrying a welcoming smile. The breakfast was lovely and refreshing which was Traditional Turkish Breakfast so may not be ideal for those who wish to have a Full English everyday but egg, sausage, beans are available if you ask. Food is well priced and delicious also with a wide variety of drinks available. This is a hidden gem as it is a 5 minute walk to the beach one way and 5 minute walk to the town in the opposite direction. So close to all amenities. Thank you L Hotel, it’s been wonderful!
