    About one and a half hour from the airport. 5-10 minutes on foot to the beach. From the hotel this was to see. Along to the beach there were lots of possibilities for day trips to book. We did everything over 'hector' busy (right in side street). Hector was very nice and informative. Definitely action. We have 5 tours and only half of the specified price paid. Jeep Safari with a promotional trip comparable. Were annoyed, that we need a day wasted. To Fethiye it was cheaper with a Dolmuş to drive, instead of a tour to book. You can also on your own the city explore. No perfumes buy! No original goods and the fragrance stops not long! The chairs at the beach were cheap on the whole day to rent.

We are traveling as friends and had a wonderful holiday in Hotel Dorian. The volt the beautiful and well-kept hotel area with its two pools, the staff very friendly and always endeavored and the beautiful and clean beach (gravel) with the turquoise sea. Great is the view from the restaurant, as you can see from the sea. The hotel is very centrally located, so you only a few minutes to the beach. On the way there you also numerous shops, restaurants and bars. In the evening there was always something going on. In the hotel the guests can enjoy (all ... the same whether young or old) every evening a fun and entertaining program. Also at the bar you were served all day until late in the evening was friendly. Knowledge of languages: if you go abroad goes, you should (at least some) speak English! The rooms were clean and were cleaned every day and cleaned. The towels were changed regularly. Therefore, our room on the second floor, it was very bright and we had a balcony overlooking one of the pools. The food was varied and good. We were completely satisfied and have a great holiday in Hotel Dorian. We would therefore be in this hotel again our vacation. read more

The Turkish Riviera (side or alanya) can, in our opinion, not compete. We can definitely recommend the hotel Dorian on each! Super price/performance ratio. We'll be on each case again.

Staff unfriendly, that might have been because the we two and that women were in the turkey... If the toilet paper empty or the hand towels was missing you had to call several times to the reception to have success. In the dining room is PÜNKTILCH to 21 hours from the main light and the buffet cleared. The only good thing about this hotel was, that the room clean were! read more

The price/performance ratio in the hotel was correct. However, the double room match a single room. 1 bed 1.40 x two meters with a single mattress and a small cover. It was even on demand only one toothbrush holder. Double room for two adults definitely to small. Balcony tiny. The public beach in the summer heat to reach is adjacent to torture-back to the hotel. It has managed it but, one is with huge glitischigen pebbles in the water 'rewarded'. Very large danger, wrinkles and ride to hurt seriously. The sanitary installations on the beach defy description. A hole ... on the beach would be hygienic! There was good diversity (torture) close to the beach. After about 20 minutes driving time. fethyie was good and cheap excursions could be booked on the strip. Very to recommend: paragliding! To our travel time to 99% with British hotel occupied. Hotel language Turkish and english-German is understood as good as not. read more

I survived the Dorian - will you? archived

The hotel certainly appears to be trying to cater to the quest, however it fails miserably. It has recently expanded and what used to be potentially a nice small hotel has now become a significantly larger hotel after the addition of new pool and some extra buildings (2) to house the small rooms for it's guests. The rooms in the attic (top storey) are extremely hot and are only bearable if you have the air-condition switched on. Unfortunatelly you can not have a window slightly ajar to let in some fresh air as that will automatically switch off the air-con ..., so it ends being a bit stuffy after a while, but bearable. I would not recommend this hotel for a family, especially with prams. You will find that there are quite a number of stair cases to carry the pram across, so if you want to move with your baby from pool to room or room to dinner or room to outside be prepared to carry you pram. In only a few places there are slopes next to the stairs, but they are dangerously steep so be careful when making use of them. Also if you want some peace and quiet then this place is not for you. During the evening, there is quite a lot of noise coming from the entertaining area next to the pool so if you want to fall asleep after dinner, you'll have to shut your windows and then still probably use some ear plugs to fall asleep. read more

    It has recently been renovated along with the expansion of the hotel, so for example the rooms appear to be well looked after, however once you stay in there for a while you will notice that cleaning of the rooms is quite sub-standard. They are in desperate need of extra staff for cleaning services ... for example our room was not cleaned every day, especially towards the end of our stay where during the last 5 days of our stay we were visited by the cleaning lady only twice and only to take out the rubbish and quickly wipe the floor. If you expect to have your towels or sheets changed, then be prepared to have to ask for it at either the reception or the cleaning lady.

    Again from their web site ... "Our restaurant has open and closed areas and also special chairs for your babies." Let's make some correction here ... first it's not a restaurant but at best it's a dinner. I'm not quite sure what "open" and "closed" areas they are referring to but I'll try to make a guess here ... there are "open" and "restricted for owner" areas. You will find that the owner has a special table reserved for him only which for obvious reasons has clean table cloths, clean table and clean cutlery ... while the rest of the guests have to eat on tables that are not quite so clean, have table cloths that have have not been changed in well over a week if not more and the cutlery is mostly clean. Speaking of the table cloths, I find it extremely poor that they actually permit the same cloths to be used for so long, imagine what they look like when you consider that every day they serve 4 meals at the same tables. Any self respecting restaurant changes table cloths after each client, here you will find that approximatelly 20 people have already eaten on the same table cloth before you got there. As long you don'e expect anything fancy then you should be OK as far as the food is concerned. There are plenty of salads, but very little meat or fish, so I suspect that vegetarians should be happy. You will not find ham there or other type of meat expect for some beef or lamb server sporadically. Speaking of variety, once you have eaten 3 breakfasts in a row you should better get used to them as they are not going to change for the remainder of your stay ... the same goes for lunch and dinner. Every day you basically get the same thing, except for very slight variations. Also it is terrible from a hygiene point of view to see them reusing food from one meal to the next. For example, day one - we had boiled tuna (whole fish served at once), day two - left overs from that tune were cut up into small slices and served as "grilled", day three - left overs from day two were simply reheated and served again. The same goes for example for cakes or other similar dishes. Be aware that if you come in the first 15 mins of them commencing serving a meal then you can expect to eat warm food warm and cold food cold, as it should be, but because they do not use any means to keep food hot, or their salads chilled, after a some time the food will invariably be of "room temperature", and with Turkey being rather hot during summer months this may be of concern to prevent food poisoning (something that they seem to be totally ignoring). Don't come in the last 15-30 mins of a meal, chances are that you will not have the full choice of food available to eat as was available at the beginning.

    Friendliness is quite high ... the staff were certainly trying to be friendly to guests. Willingness to help was a little bit limited as their knowledge of English is restricted, but they did try to help out when they understood you. Though in some cases, especially at reception, they seemed to understand you perfectly only when it suited them ... on occasions if you had a query which meant that they would have to do something for you, then they all of a sudden would not be able to understand you ... seems to be quite convenient. washing facilities - none child care - none medical care - we didn't get food poisoning so didn't need it ;-)

    According to http://www. dorianhotel.com/ and their home page, their hotel "was established in Belcekız and it is 350 m. to the beach and also 500 m. to Olüdeniz bay." ... I'd certainly like to see them update their website ... it's more like 600m to the beach and approx 1km to the bay. Also beware of "Besides this we have a private beach and it is provided to get to the beach and enter for free." Private beach for Dorian means that they call up an owner of a caravan park that is next to the bay and take you by car there. All hotels from Olu Deniz make use of this so expect to see guests from other hotels. Of course they take you to the "private beach" whenever you want, however if you want to return for lunch to the hotel or leave for any other reason, then you will either have to hike the 1. 5km back to the hotel, or catch a taxi (pay money) or catch a bus (also pay money) ... not quite what I had imagined ... to me saying that you have a private beach would mean that it for Dorian only and since the hotel is "all inclusive" you could easily expect to have a bar next to the beach to obtain a drink and relax from the heat, but alas you won't find that here. As far as location is concerned ignoring any aspects related to Dorian, then it is ideal. I loved Olu Deniz and if it wasn't for the pebble beach, then I'd say it would certainly rate 11 out of 10 on my scale. Olu Deniz is a great place and there are lots of interesting things to do there. There is also a large amount of trips that you can take to see other parts of Turkey. I'd certainly recommend taking advantage of that option!!!
