Jade Residence

This hotel is far away for what is presented in the pictures. If you are a picky traveler this is not the best option. It is more like a hippie hostel which should actually have the prices for this type and not a 4*hotel. We reached there one week ago and we could not stay. It is directly on the beach, the noise is something you can’t imagine. The entrance and the room looks very old and it didn’t give us the feeling it was cleaned. The bedsheets were not the cleanest ones either and it looked quite old and used. Now, if you are a 20+ years traveler this can be ok, but maybe for half the price they required. We were lucky to find another hotel, like a proper hotel and we’ve immediately moved. So, if you have European standards this is not a place to book.

This is our home from home when we visit Olu Deniz. A beautiful oasis in a busy resort. Only got 10 rooms. Beautiful poll area shaded by olive trees. No sunbed wars as plenty of loungers, bean bags and sofas around the pool area. All of the staff go above and beyond to make sure the stay is perfect.

The resort itself was very lively even in May would not like to go in height of season but Jade Residence was like a little oasis set back from it all. The pool area and garden could have been in Bali , very peaceful. You could hear the music at night but you just have to put your earplugs in. Breakfast was amazing, so much of it that by the end you had to refuse it. Ibrahim at breakfast was very nice and friendly. You could sit watching the paragliders come down right in front of you. Even heidi the cleaner was lovely, first time I’ve hugged a cleaner goodbye. Only 10 rooms so never crowded, rooms were a bit dark but had everything you needed.

Amazing place with excellent service . Restaurant is outstanding for breakfast service and lunch /dinner. Hotel is wonderful. Jade restaurant and residence will make your stay unforgettable . Position front sea swimming pool bordered by ancient trees… smiling people very professional and every detail is accurate . Perfect .

This is one of the greatest places to stay nearby the beach of Oludeniz and the Blue Lagoon, if not THE best. It is situated in a crowded area nearby the beach with several hotels, bars, shops and restaurants, but nevertheless it is really hidden gem with a limited number of cosy rooms and an incredibly calm, peaceful garden with a pool and limited noise from the surroundings (although you still hear a little bit of music in the background)... the perfect space to relax in Oludeniz. On top of that, they have a great rooftop restaurant with delicious seafood allowing to enjoy the sunset. The staff is also great... they made us feel immediately "at home".

We decided last minute to change our hotel from fethiye to jade in oludeniz. Primary reason is because we wanted to stay on/near the beach and not deal with car rental or taxi back and forth between fethiye and oludeniz. I was really nervous about the change bc I couldn't figure out what to expect with jade. All reviews I read were incredible but also saw a site that called it a 2 star hotel. However, the hotel had the basic necessities we desired like private bath, ac, queen bed. TL;Dr we were so glad we made the change. The hotel is a true 3 star hotel. However, the treatment you receive from management (especially Deniz) and the staff (especially Honor at the restaurant) is 10 star worthy. I have stayed at plenty of 5 star hotels and have never received that amazing of a service. They even knew our name prior to us even getting there. The hotel is situated right on the beach but does not have a beach view. There are only 8 rooms and looks like they all face the pool. The pool is surrounded by greenery and sofa/chairs for you to lay out and relax, with plenty of shade. Note, bc the hotel has a lot of greenery, you do get a lot of bugs. If you don't like bugs, you can keep the room windows and balcony door closed. They also provide a bug zapper plug in to keep the bugs out. This def helped us since we do not like bugs. Only saw minimal bugs during our 3 night stay. The room is more of a lodge feel with a queen bed. The bathroom is spacious enough but the shower does feel a little tight, though it will suffice for a clean feeling. The restaurant is a terrace restaurant with beautiful view of the lagoon and perfect place to watch the sunset. Breakfast is served here and it's the traditional Turkish bfast. They take care of everything for you and are served with more food than you can eat. Lunch and dinner menu is also very good with plenty of (and delicious) vegetarian options. They have a live musician that comes in from 9 to 11 pm on Fri and sun. And on those days, the hotel is packed. We missed it on Fri but were able to catch it on sun. However, we were surprised that every table was taken even at 10 pm. Let the staff know if you want to do dinner with them or have drinks during the live music and they will save you a prime spot. The one negative you have likely read from other reviews is the loud music. It is correct that the restaurant next door (Friends) have a rave/party every night (it seems). They seem to start around 9 pm and it goes till midnight/1 am. You can def hear the music in the rooms so if you are a light sleeper, please plan accordingly (i.e. ear plugs). It didn't really bother us too much but it's important to know. Note, this is not Jade's fault and there's nothing they can really about this. I can't rave about this place enough. If you are comfortable with a 3 star hotel, I would book Jade in a heartbeat.
