2nd time at Portakal Hotel with family for 11 nights, was well looked as usual by all the staff, total coincidence that 2 other families were there from the year before which was great , it was like we'd never left lol lovely spacious room on the 1st floor, breakfast is delicious and a good variety of hot and cold food, no matter what time we went to the pool there was always loungers, plenty of restaurants to choice from on a night time but always headed back to the hotel bar where Ram the bar manager did the most lovely cocktails, already booked for next year x

Lovely hotel with large rooms and good facilities. Amazing staff and attentive owners. Great selection of hot and cold food for breakfast. Excellent swimming pool with plenty of sun beds and beautifully kept gardens. Easy walk to the town for restaurants, bars and shops, or a taxi if you prefer for about £4. Will definitely return.

“BEST reception staff ever”

We booked this hotel based on the five star reviews and we wern't disappointed, as I agree with the majority of the reviews. I could easily award 10 stars to the reception staff Eyup and Ercam, the friendliest staff ever, they always referred to us by our names and nothing was too much trouble for them. They were so nice, I gave them both a gift of chocolate. Our room was also lovely, A22, facing the pool and had all the amenities we needed. We were thankful of previous reviews that highlighted the need to bring own tea and coffee which we did. Location nice and quiet, only 10 minute walk to some of the best restaurants we found, especially Lime restaurant and the Limon Tree, our two best meals by far. Pool was large, but absolutely freezing and too deep for me to stand, as I'm only 5ft 1. The only reason I've not given five stars is that I wasn't keen on the breakfast, albeit, plenty of fruit, which was good and so was the tea urn and coffees, but the hot food was a bit of a let down, I. E., no sliced bread for toast, it was just small pieces of French baguettes. (just my personal opinion) Pool area, there were plenty of sunbeds but they are too packed close together. The pool umbrellas are huge so if someone next to you had theirs up, it blocked out the sun for us, who dont like the shade. Music around the pool area was either great or monotonous, guests asked for the music to be changed on one day, as it was like being on hold at a call centre. Rooms were cleaned daily and maids were super friendly. We saw the female owner daily, and maybe I expected too much having read how friendly she was, as I didn't see her interact with any of guests until the final day and she came to say goodbye as we're getting on the coach, she gave us a hug, which was so nice, so maybe it was just a language barrier. Hotel location is right beside the ferry port, so super convenient, albeit a bit noisy when sunbathing and I could smell diesel fumes on occasion. Overall though, there were more positives than negatives and Eyup and Ercam are definitely the reason why I'd return.

Stayed in this hotel because of the reviews on trip advisor . When we arrived at the hotel at night we found the receptionist very friendly and he showed us around the hotel and to our room . Booked as people had mentioned how comfortable the bed was , not for us unfortunately they were rock hard , we asked for a mattress topper or if there was alternatives mattress, they brought us what they called a mattress topper but unfortunately it was a fitted mattress protector. Also the bathroom was quite dirty and the shower was mouldy . Next the staff we’re mentioned as being friend to each morning at breakfast what I presume was the owners were having there breakfast each morning , I smiled and said good morning but I found them both miserable and unwelcoming. The bar man one day I went to order a drink and he couldn’t even be bothered to get off the stool he was on , I asked for a cocktail menu to be told I couldn’t order one until after 3 which I found odd , the next day I tried again to be told the bar man couldn’t make cocktails . Loved Dalyan and we are going back but are trying a different hotel this time . The only time we found the owner to be happy was when we were leaving , he actually helped with our cases .
