This really is a beautiful gem. The rooms spacious and very clean. The pool is beautiful. The communal areas are very well looked after. This a family run business, all of them work hard to make sure you have a lovely holiday, they really can’t do enough for you. There is a bar and cafe area by the pool. The walk into town in approx 12 mins or a 150tl taxi ride. Have booked again for our 3rd visit in 2025. CANT WAIT!

“Great stay at Villa Dolunay”

Cannot fault Villa Dolunay, friendly welcoming management and staff, just far enough from the centre of town to be quiet and peaceful, but 10 minutes walk to the shops, restaurants, bars and boats, with a few just 5 minutes away. Rooms offer all you need, not 5 star but clean and comfortable. Turki… more

Rooms offer all you need, not 5 star but clean and comfortable. Turkish buffet breakfast is great, with variations each morning, British fry-up also available if required. Nice clean pool with bar open all day. We will definitely use this hotel again.

We stayed for 10 days at these apartments and our experience was overall a good one but not perfect. The biggest issue is the beds. They are incredibly uncomfortable and I spoke to the owner reference this. They are very hard low quality mattresses and a sheet that's like sandpaper. I'd suggest anyone takes a cotton sheet with them and ask at reception for extra pillows. Our room was basic but adequate other than this (room 203 first floor) The staff are all pleasant enough and the bar / food is adequate. Prices are not too dissimilar to the uk for food. Example (from the bar) a chicken wrap is around £6.25 with chips. A latte is 100 Turkish lira (£2.25) and English breakfast (not great) around £7.50 The pool is fantastic and i never experienced any trouble getting a sunbed. In fact i was often the first person down (around 8am) and had the same sunbeds for our entire visit. August is particularly hot so expect it to hit 40degrees. Around 6-7 min walk away is a supermarket which is very competitively priced and worthwhile stocking up on basic supplies so you can have drinks in your room and save money. You'll buy waters and fizzy drinks there for 1/3rd of the prices in the bar. A walk into the town is 10-15 mins but don't expect much night life. It's all restaurants and shops selling fake merchandise. Some are good quality but others aren't so great so definitely shop around because they all sell virtually the same things. If you vape take plenty of supplies because they are banned from being sold in Dalaman and you won't get them. Cigarettes themselves buy out there. They are £1.80 a pack on average but you won't get the most common brands like in the uk. Mayfair they do have though. The Indian restaurant in the main strip is excellent although expect to pay around £25-30 per head. Nothing happens anywhere after 12 midnight but we found the days long because of the heat so the slow pace of Dalaman suited us. It's not the place for a lads / girls holiday. It's a couples and chilled out holiday vibe and it's perfect for that. Important to remember what you pay. The pricing of the holiday is very good and it's worth every penny. Just wish they'd sort out more comfortable beds!
