Hayat Apart Otel

The staff were amazing, so friendly and just lovely people. Only ate at the restaurant once, but the food was really nice and a decent price. Pool area was clean and quiet, always had plenty of beds available. The apartment was a good size and everything worked well. Location was excellent, only a short walk to the main strip but not disturbed by any noise/lights during the night.

Although the apartment was clean, it was quite run down. No hair dryer or toaster, only very basic amenities included. The cleaners came anytime between 10am - 5pm. When they came during the afternoon we were often in the apartment, making it harder to do a proper clean but it was hard to plan around it as the times varied so much.

Locality , lovely family run business Pool area , bar area good with lovely food

Turkish shower in the bathroom

The property is very close to the main street and a local shop where you can buy food. The pool area is lovely – you can use two pools, both are clean, look new, and well maintained. Around the pool there is a nice garden with fruits, veggies, and flowers, which makes the place feel very pleasant. For us, it was just a short stop during our Turkey trip, so we were busy exploring Ölüdeniz and Fethiye and didn’t spend much time in the room. It’s a good option if you’re looking for budget accommodation. There is a new building and an old building – we stayed in the old one.

Definitely, it’s a better experience to stay in the new building. We stayed in the old building, and the rooms were really outdated. The biggest issue was the smell – a very strange, strong odor, almost like someone had been smoking weed inside for months. On top of that, there were ants everywhere in the kitchen, especially around the sink and table, so we had to hide all food in the fridge. Another downside is that nothing complimentary was provided – not even a small bottle of water or shampoo, which would have been nice after traveling. If you’re looking for authentic Turkish culture, this is not the right area. Ölüdeniz feels more like a “little England.” Most restaurants on the main street serve English-style food, the cafés have English names, and prices are listed in £ or €. Everything is also very touristy and more expensive compared to normal Turkish towns. That’s why we traveled to Fethiye for proper Turkish food at local prices. It’s also sad to see how much Ölüdeniz has changed. I visited 15 years ago, and back then it was different, more authentic. Now it’s just a busy tourist spot. You even need to pay for everything: my family paid £5.50 just to enter Ölüdeniz beach (kids under 6 are free), £5.60 for parking, and £16.60 for one sunbed. So for only 1.5 hours at the beach, it cost me around £25. back then it was absolutely amazing – the beach was quiet, there were turtles, and it felt truly beautiful and natural. Now it’s completely different: very busy, commercial, and nothing is left from those old days. Overall, the location is very tourist-oriented, overpriced, and not authentic.

after moving from another hotel that was ant infested , this hotel was great
