Stayed in room 223 and the views are stunning. Being an early riser enjoyed the most memorable sunrises. Went self catering which is basic but manageable. 2 ring electric hob and a microwave. Let’s get the negatives out of the way first, and some of them are pathetic but might matter to somebody. The Wi-Fi is designed for maximum coverage OUTSIDE, therefore it works on the balcony but not in the room. So if you’re thinking of bringing a fire stick rent a wifi box in advance, you won’t get one in Turunc. The location of the hotel is designed to connect with nature which means a 20 minute walk downhill on a very winding road.The free bus starts at 10am last bus back is 5:30 pm and taxis are 200TL. The hotel restaurant and bars are expensive compared to town, but you are a captive audience so you pays your money and you takes your choice. If you’re coming late season BRING A TORCH. Negatives out of the way, told you they were pathetic, let’s get on to the positives. The rooms are spotless, good beds great pillows. Great shower and a spa bath. Big fridge and reasonable size freezer compartment. Kitchen equipment is ok, if you have a favourite knife bring it. It’s up to you if you tell your other knives they’re not going on holiday. The pool is a good size and deep, plenty of sun beds. No “boom boom music” at the pool , the other day it was actually opera , yep I said opera. Drinks and food service at the poolside is exemplary. Could they improve things ? Wi-Fi upgrade possibly ? More frequent bus to Turunc , definitely. 1 an hour isn’t enough. One last tip and it’s nothing to do with the hotel. Get an early flight from UK. The 16:00 flight from MANCHESTER gets you to the hotel at 02:00 local time, and the roads from Dalaman to Turunc are a bit hairemscarem around midnight. All things considered this is great hotel, and I’d recommend it. Thank you Loryma Resort for a wonderful week. Ps. Angela is a star, but then again all of the staff are brilliant. You know they’ve got things right when the staff are almost invisible but everything works. It doesn’t happen by chance you know 😉

The hotel is set in lovely gardens above the crescent bay of Turunc, surrounded by spectacular mountains with beautiful views. We were in room 206, a perfect location just 5 minutes from reception, grocery shop and swimming pool. The room was cleaned every other day with a change of linens. This is a ground floor room with a small patio area. Unfortunately we could not leave the doors open due a problem with cats trying to get into the room. The living room (2nd bedroom) and kitchen are at the front of the accommodation, no ac ceiling fan only. The kitchen area is large and well equipped with fridge freezer, small oven, 2 induction rings, kettle, toasters, crockery and cutlery. Walking to the small bedroom which is at the back of the accommodation with no views, you pass the small bathroom, which does have a large shower area. There is loads of storage space. An iron and small board were in the wardrobe along with slippers. The swimming pool is v large, good for swimming lengths, has no shallow end and is not heated. There is a separate children's pool in a separate location. There were lots of sunbeds and plenty of shade provided by trees and parasols. During the day there is a free shuttle bus into Turunc. We walked into Turunc every evening. 2.2 km. There are no pavements and although there's street lighting a torch is needed. It's a pleasant stroll down and a bit of a slog back up, takes about 25 minutes. We used the little shop for fresh bread each morning and large containers of water. Facilities we didn't use - restaurants, bars, spa, indoor pool, gym, room with table tennis and pool table

“no to Loryma, and Turkey you broke our hearts.”

Overall i was left disappointed by the experience at Loryma. Firstly we were given a room that had about 40 steep steps to its entrance, despite requesting and being told that a room on the level (due to some mobility issues) would be allocated one. By the time I had a response from the hotel regarding whether we were in the right room, we were fully unpacked and moving would have been too much hassle for the family. The pool are is lovely, BUT since Jet2 and TUI use the hotel now, the poor behaviour of reserving sunbeds as become the norm. people out at 7.30 am reserving beds that they wont use until late afternoon. The drinks at the hotel are phenomenally expensive. at 4 pound for a small beer it makes the expensive drinks down in Turunc seem like a bargain. The room itself was well equipped but only has one aircon unit for 2 bedrooms and a living room, it was also in 1 of the bedrooms so had little effect on either the living area or other bedroom which was like an oven. After eating down in Turunc on the first day, we realised that the discounted half board 7 day package did represent very good value. Instead of paying about 29 pound per person per day for breakfast and evening meal, it worked out at 16.50 each for 2 adults and 2 children. Mostly though the biggest disappointment was Turkey itself this year. It was really very expensive and no cheaper than the UK for food and drink. I understand cost of living has risen a lot in Turkey but that does not explain the excessive pricing. For example it was very difficult to find a beer in a bar or restaurant for less than 150TRY or 4 pound, but there were a few bars, namely the Florida Bar in Icmeler where the price for a beer was 2 pound or 80 TRY, and the food was considerably cheaper than elsewhere. its pretty apparent that tourists are being ripped off in Turkey and for that reason we shall not be returning. Look elsewhere for value!
