Stayed here for one day as part of the "Dalyan Day Trip" which included hot mud bath/turtle beach.
Where to start!!!!!
Well first it is situated in the middle of nowhere up a long sand/pebble/dust track (scary to walk along at night with few lights to see by).
The pool is close to a death trap with sharp edges and water that falls out of the pool lies around in little puddles that MUST be the main breeding ground for the mozzies that fed on us once darkness fell.
The younger staff made my wife and I feel about as welcome as a fart in a space suit, their attitude and lack of all but the most basic English led to us feeling that at best we were in their way and at worst the targets of outright hostility.
The food I cannot comment on as when asked about the time of dinner we were told "7.....9......7......9", we tried to confirm that by this was meant 7 to 9 and were again given vague flaps of the hand. We therefore went off and bought dinner elsewhere.
The room was a bit like a quaint late 60s-70s sitcom. No kettle, no TV (only a broken 40 year old radio). Garish green paint was the choice of decor and small single beds just big enough for an average sized man.
The lights were at best 40 watt giving the room an air of desperation.
As you can tell we didn't like it and we were not the only people in our group to complain
And this was only after staying there for a few hours I would NEVER want to stay there for a week.
To paraphrase some of my fellow travellers "it's like the kinda place you check into to commit suicide", or, "it's like the place from Hostel".
I might not go that far.......but we came close.
