Hilton Dalaman Sarigerme Resort and Spa

"Let me first cover what I would be searching for if I didn’t already know. April is cool, as I sit here typing this now it’s approaching midday. I’d estimate the temperature is about 18° (wife says 16°). The larger pools are not heated and so at this temperature the sun doesn’t really have chance to warm them up, however the water park pools are heated. One is a reasonable size (think average French campsite sized) and it’s very warm. It’s still cold when you get out, but does this place have a heated pool in April? Yes it absolutely does. And crucially it’s the one all the slides go into. Now here’s the important part of the review if you’re greedy like I am. The food here is unlike any other all inclusive I’ve ever been to. It is head and shoulders above. Imagine your standard travelodge breakfast in the UK and the breakfast offerings here are, without exaggeration, 50x the size. There is literally everything you could ever want. Vegans and gluten free people are catered for too - gluten free get their own little section, as do vegans - obviously in addition to the things on the main buffet that are vegan/gluten friendly. Lunch and dinner are the most incredible scenes though. There is so much. Like a ridiculous amount. It’s so easy to eat healthily here. Ive been trying to eat healthily and the odd fried halloumi slip up aside, I’ve comfortably managed 250g of protein a day. If you’ve got an average sized semi detached house I’d say that the floor space of the buffet is somewhere between 3-4 times bigger. It’s genuinely insane an all of the food is such high quality. Example, each dinner and lunch there are about 7-8 different types of tomato offering - there is a tomato station each day that’s twice as big as that travelodge breakfast. I’ve tried to stay away from puddings, because if my greed, but I’d say at any given meal there are about 30-40 desserts on offer. We did teppanakki which was good fun and I’m sure the other à la carte restaurants are just as good. The gym here is excellent for anyone who sits below bodybuilder - far better than any other hotel gym I’ve been to. But the real winner here is the staff. The so friendly and boy do they work hard. I’ve never worked a day that hard in my life. Meal times are a military operation and pretty much as soon as breakfast is packed away it’s time for lunch. The hotel is insanely clean. Kids clubs are great, there are clubs aimed at teens - arcade machines, ps5’s, football, archery, as well as a club for the younger ones whose care seems to be on a par with what you’d expect back at home. This is as good a hotel as I’ve stayed in. There’s a reason it’s not budget. Because it’s top drawer. Would I come back? Without question. I apologise that any photos I upload are of meat and salad."
