Dalyan Live Spa Hotel

Lovely hotel with FANTASTIC staff! All the staff are friendly and very helpful - from reception to breakfast lady chef to bar staff. Choice at breakfast is large - everything from omelettes, made to order, eggs, continental options, cereals & cake. The spa is very good & reasonably priced - the 2 ladies there were excellent! Fabulous hamman packages. We also had a couple of different massages which were sooo good - those ladies really know their stuff. All in all I highly recommend both the hotel & spa.

Having recently spent ten days in September at the Dalyan Live Spa Hotel with my partner, I wanted to share my thoughts. Overall, we had a really good stay. The hotel feels very relaxed and quiet. It's not a huge, impersonal resort, which we loved. With only three guests blocks and 20 rooms in each, it felt more intimate, and because of Dalyan's strict building rules, you don't have to worry about high-rises blocking the view. The pool area was a big plus for us—it's a decent size (about 20 meters long), and there were always plenty of sun loungers and space to relax on the grass. I'm not sure if it would be the same at full capacity, but it was perfect during our trip. The staff here were fantastic—super friendly and hard-working. We had a couple of small requests, like an extra sheet and pillow, and they sorted it out on the same day, which was great. We just messaged them on WhatsApp, via the free WiFi, which was really convenient. Now, for a few minor things to note. The heavy fire doors can slam shut loudly if you're not careful, and our room's proximity to the lift meant we heard a noticeable mechanical sound when it was used. The gym is air-conditioned, but the equipment is a bit old and of a domestic standard. Also, the TV in the gym isn't a smart TV and can't receive a picture. We also noticed the saltwater pool and sun lounger cushions could have done with a more thorough clean, too. The hotel's policy on smoking is something to consider. While it's not allowed in the rooms, it is permitted on balconies and in communal areas. Personally, I would have preferred it to be non-smoking everywhere, but it's good to be aware of. They also don't allow outside food in the rooms. Overall, despite a few small points, we had a really enjoyable stay. The peace and quiet, friendly staff, and great location made it a perfect relaxing break. I'd definitely recommend it.

I, a female, checked in here with my 15-year-old son in August 2025 for 10 nights (I'm still staying for 3 nights). Since there aren't many reviews from Germans, I wanted to write a detailed one and hope it helps someone make a decision. The transfer from Dalaman Airport was fantastic. Despite the short distance, it took 40 minutes in the evening rush hour. RECEPTION was very nice: Luggage was taken immediately, we checked in, were shown the room, and everything was explained. ROOM: We got a very nice room on the first floor with a double bed and a single bed, an armchair, a desk, a minibar, a large closet, air conditioning, a balcony, and a nice bathroom. The view overlooks the pool and is very nice and not at all noisy. Outside food and drinks are not allowed in the room/hotel. HOUSEKEEPING: Very nice and friendly. The rooms were always spotless. MINIBAR: There are small water bottles (30 TL = 60 cents) and small mineral water/soda bottles (50 TL = 1 euro). Of course, you can also have other beverages refilled. BREAKFAST: The cook prepares breakfast daily, so you can sample delicious homemade jam (orange, quince, lemon, etc.), sausage, cheese, olives, vegetables, and muesli, as well as daily changing cakes, börek, savory pastries, and sweet treats. There's also an egg station where you can have omelets freshly prepared with various ingredients. The morning welcome is always cheerful and warm. Breakfast can be enjoyed in the restaurant or on the terrace. Coffee, Turkish tea, English tea, water, and juice drinks are mandatory. The waiters are friendly and attentive. SPA: Unlike some other hotels, this one has an on-site spa, so you don't have to be picked up and dropped off (which is obviously more convenient with children). There's an indoor pool, which my son and I enjoy using, as the outdoor pool was usually too warm for us. The steam sauna was unfortunately out of service. The Finnish sauna is very pleasant. My son and I had the Super Massage Package with a hammam, scrub, soap foam, face mask, and extensive massage, which lasts at least 90 minutes. Of course, you can always express your preferences. In some respects, it may not quite meet the usual standards in Germany. However, the two ladies in the spa, Sirin and Yasemin, are cheerful, very kind, and funny, and do their work with dedication. Thank you very much. I had another massage appointment with Sirin and would love to take her with me. RESTAURANT: We ate at the hotel a few times. I have to say, the food was really very good and beautifully presented. There's pasta, burgers, starters, salads, meat, etc. There's something for everyone. The price/performance ratio is absolutely great and even cheaper than eating out. Food orders until around 7:30/8 p.m. BAR: I think the prices here are reasonable, too. Wines and beers cost around €4, cocktails €8. If they also served caipirinhas at the bar, that would be great, especially since they're sure to have delicious limes. The staff here is also really friendly and helpful. MANAGEMENT: Family-run hotel run by Mr. Tunc, who made a very pleasant, relaxed impression on me and also treats his staff in a relaxed manner, which I find very important as a guest. GARDEN: (I'm writing this right now) is very idyllic and quiet, surrounded by rustling trees and bushes. A few meters away, boats pass by, but you can't see them. LOCATION: At one end of Dalyan. It's about a 10-15 minute walk to the center. Personally, I love it when it's quiet and you can still get to the center quickly. Plus, you automatically get more exercise. There are many great excursions and cultural activities. A personal note: Most people in Dalyan work very hard during the season. Please remember to support this with kind words and a tip. Many thanks to all the staff. We will definitely be back. Enjoy Dalyan. August 25
