Ölüdeniz Turquoise Hotel

The pool is a good size, with plenty of sunbeds, though you'll want to get up early if you hope to claim a decent one. The pool bar and seating area are well staffed, with lots of tables, and the staff work really hard. Location is great within the Olu Deniz resort. The rooms are basic but functional; towels were changed daily, though the cleaning wasn't the best, so don't look under or above the beds. The restaurant is comfortable and clean, with a reasonable range of well presented, tasty food. Staff there were great too. For daytime activities there are darts, water aerobics, Waterpolo and french bowls, if enough people join in. Evenings usually mean a kids disco followed by a show, though the entertainment staff don't perform the shows. There's bingo twice a week. I felt the evening entertainment could have had a bit more to it.

The free shuttle to Sugar Beach deserves more attention. It's a beautiful spot, and we were glad we made a couple of trips. Food and drinks there cost extra, but were outstanding. We also took a boat trip with six stops and chances to swim in the sea, which was lovely. The nearby shopping strip is huge, so there's no shortage of things to find. We spent 10 days here from 18th-28th September 2025, our first visit, and we'd happily recommend it. Staff were friendly and helpful throughout. Our room was very nice, with comfortable beds, a powerful shower, daily cleaning and a fresh bottle of water each day. There was a varied food selection every day, much of it cooked fresh in front of you, and dishes were continually replenished. You could see how much care went into preparing it. The bar never had a queue, and the cocktail list was good. Each night's entertainment suited all ages and felt like just the right amount. The pool and sunbeds were clean, and the pool was a godsend in the heat. We'll definitely return.

Murat, the Guest Relations Manager, came over to speak with us every day and made us feel welcome. The staff were fantastic and very professional, and the entertainment was really good, especially the break dancing and acrobatics. We ate at the a la carte, where the stuffed mushrooms, fillet steak and pepper corn steak were absolutely banging. The food overall has been fantastical, and our room is clean and tidy. It's our first trip to Turkey, and we're already wishing we'd come sooner. We're on day five and the experience has been second to none. We also had a lovely time at sugar beach, where prices were average. We're definitely coming again and are already looking to book for 2026.

The beach is only a five-minute walk away, and there's also a free shuttle to Sugar Beach with free sunbeds. We had an absolutely lovely holiday. The staff were so kind, the rooms were cleaned daily, and the food selection was wonderful. The amenities were amazing.
