L Hotel Sarigerme

"We used this hotel on a day rate last year with our baby, for the pool facilities, we enjoyed it so much we returned this year as a couple for the weekend to celebrate our wedding anniversary. Our experience was different in positive and negative ways; - we were kindly upgraded to the honeymoon suite (room 212 I think?) in the top corner. Was amazing and we were so grateful, absolutely speechless to have been so fortunate! - location is fab, short taxi journey from dalaman airport and short walking distance to the town, beautiful scenery and a tiny corner shop across the road stocking everything you need and such a polite man who owns it. - food is delicious and something for everyone , although we noticed the menu has reduced since last year. - clean pool - friendly reception team - fab tech used to indicate whether your room requires cleaning or not - brilliant aircon - great WiFi - comfy bed Downfalls; - breakfast is quite limited, especially if you’re a fussy eater, also flies surrounding the food and old utensils used to serve the food in. - the pool bar staff have all changed since the first time we visited - last year we had the pleasure of meeting Ali and the rest of the lovely ladies in the team who were so kind, happy, friendly and welcoming but they have all gone :( this year we met Simon and jimmy who have replaced them and now apparently lease the pool bar/restaurant and let me tell you… to English people who know no different , maybe they’re abit of a laugh, but for me.. someone who is half Turkish, I find it insulting that they give Turks a bad name and live up to a creepy reputation, because that is not what Turkish people are like. The language and context they used was disgusting and inappropriate, especially for a family hotel where there’s children around. No one wants to hear innuendos constantly or feel pried on. Had we had our daughter with us this time round I would have had some words to say to them… - can’t be helped but be aware if you leave your balcony door open the birds will fly in and are difficult to get out! - pool changing area is not clean and no baby changing facilities - lovely little boutique shop run by a lady last year is now closed and abandoned - kids play area all overgrown and uncared for this year - can’t be helped but beware of huge spiders outside your rooms on the way to your room in the evening - they allow guests to drink/eat in and around the pool which is quite unhygienic - the same boring Spotify playlist is on repeat all day every day and it’s typical old English songs which, as holiday makers, you don’t want to listen to , be nice to hear some authentic Turkish music or even British chart songs. Really unsure if we would return, mainly based on Simon and jimmy and uncomfortable they were making us and other guests feel. All in all it was ok considering we were only there for a long weekend and had the delight of being upgraded to the suite."

"We had a swim up room, clean and spacious. The sun does go off some of the swim up rooms by around midday. Our towels were changed daily, there is a mini fridge and tea and coffee making facilities and a free safe. The bed is hard but that suits us. There is a good choice at breakfast and the freshly made omelettes or poached eggs are very nice. We ate most lunchtimes at the hotel, there is a good choice of food to suit most tastes and the prices are very reasonable. As most people have written Simon and Jimmy are very polite, friendly and make you feel very welcome. We also must shout out to the guy on reception (sorry we didn’t catch your name), again very friendly, polite and helpful, thank you. We highly recommend the restaurant Dorya at the bottom of the road out of the hotel turn left first restaurant you come to. Lovely food lovely people we ate there twice and had a drink there a few times. If it’s a bit quiet don’t let that put you off it’s definitely worth a visit. There was one big downside to our holiday and nothing the hotel could do about it. Unfortunately the week we booked there were some other guests staying who were extremely loud, they drank all day every day and got louder and louder the more drunk they got and as the days went on. They did not give a thought about any other guests, the swearing was so bad, even when there were children around they did not care. Most guests went to the beach or out everyday as it was unbearable, we spoke to a lot of other guests who all said the same, they couldn’t stand the continuous noise and swearing. Unfortunately this did spoil our holiday and a lovely hotel."

"We recently finished our holiday at L Hotel and would like to thank everyone who made our week so wonderful. The friendly team at the reception are always eager to help. Simon and jimmy are such fun and lovely people - they make your evenings truly enjoyable. See you next year, guys! Love to everyone."
