Symbola Oludeniz Beach Hotel

Great location, just outside the Ölüdeniz’ hubbub. A cute set of stone cabins with balconies glued to the mountain. My room had a view over town and the sea. It’s quiet; I slept like a baby and the bathroom was modern and clean. Breakfast is Turkish, fresh and delicious. I’d recommend!

some things amazing, some not so. The sympathetic building blends in with the mountains and is hidden away and secluded from the tourist strip it overlooks. The room is simple, but perfectly adequate and the bathroom had been renovated to a good standard. The double mattress wasn't great and the housekeeping hit and miss, some days they did a thorough clean, replaced water, etc. While on other days we were forgotten and even after requesting toilet paper four times in as many hours, didn't receive any until much later. Our room was near the front of the restaurant which is also the back of the service area, to see staff sitting on boxes smoking right next to our front door isn't nice at all. Especially after we all had a slightly upset stomach after our first meal. We continued to eat breakfast and didn't get ill again but we had to be careful what we ate for the rest of the week which was a shame. The Turkish buffet was plentiful with some hot items, lots of breads and cheeses and jams, but had no fresh fruits at all, the closest being lovely fresh tomato, cucumber and olives. The restaurant with glass balcony overlooking the beach and town is really nice and the staff friendly. The pool, although quite small, was 28° degrees and gorgeous and with plenty of sunbeds and no time restrictions on use. This was off season in early April. The noise from other residents until 11pm was bearable, in no way was there a loud party atmosphere, although there are disco lights and speakers in the restaurant/bar. It was a friendly environment, with other guests from Turkey and elsewhere, which is a nice feeling. The management could shake a few things up and really make it a place to return to. As it was, we had a really good deal and were happy, the price we paid off season was good. I wouldn't have been so happy paying much more, for the few issues we had which were left unresolved..

Lovely family room hotel with friendly helpful staff. Traditional rooms and pool area with sunbeds and umbrellas. Breakfast choices of Turkish and continental. Ten minutes walk to the beach so a great location. Only negative the steps could be a problem for anyone older or no physically fit as no lift. Would definitely return 😌
