Obam Termal Resort & Spa

The service was really good, and the staff were kind and nice. The mountain setting is beautiful. Walking around the garden in the fresh air before sunrise was unbelievable.

We got in around 9 pm after the drive from Pamukkale toward İstanbul, but the hotel had noted our arrival time and prepared dinner for all three of us. The reception and restaurant staff were helpful and attentive to small details, and the rooms and restaurant were clean, almost sterile. It looks recently built and feels like good value for the reasonable price. Set in the mountains, it has an outdoor thermal pool open all year. The mineral-rich natural spring may also be useful for people with chronic illnesses, as well as for relaxing. Highly recommend a visit.

We found Obam Therrmal Otel online and decided to try it. I booked directly by phone with the manager, Halib, who promised us a very nice room. When we arrived, he came out of his office to greet us, and Yusuf helped us get settled. The staff kept going out of their way to make us feel welcome. I don't know whether that was because we were the only non Turkish guests, but we really appreciated it. The meals are buffet style, with breakfast and dinner included, and we found them quite good. You're in Turkey, so the food is Turkish. We went with an open mind and enjoyed most of it. In the mornings, the chef will make fried eggs or an omelette if you ask, and fresh crepes too. The indoor and outdoor thermal pools, sauna, steam bath, and showers were all great. My wife had a mixed massage with Swedish, reflexology, hot stone, and aromatherapy, and thought it was excellent. One thing we hadn't known beforehand is that the pools and other areas are split by gender, with men in one section and women in another. That's how this resort is set up, so we just went with it. We highly recommend giving Obam Thermal resort a try.

A quiet, pleasant place with good value. The spa is nice, and women have a private thermal pool. The indoor and outdoor thermal pools connect, and you can swim in 28 C water even when it's 6 C outside. Half board and tea service are included.
