SWOT analysis of the hotel Lykia World Oludeniz.

We rested at the hotel in late July - early August 2013. Not the first time in Turkey. Family - two adults and a child of 11 years. Self-selection of the hotel.
S - strengths:
- a magnificent green area. It is not hot at +38, as in other parts of Turkey. The sea breeze really helps. The hotel consists of two parts - Residence and Village. We had a tour in the Village, but upon arrival we were upgraded to a room category and we lived in the Residence;
We personally liked the room in the Residence. Many reviews write about outdated rooms. This is partly true, the tile is really not new, but in all other respects we had no complaints either about the state of the plumbing or the cleanliness (cleaning is regular). The linen was clean, the air conditioner (central) worked properly, the Philips TV (CRT-square) also showed and gave out sound. I do not think that the absence of a plasma panel or TV on liquid crystals is very critical.

- very good food (varied and tasty). Thank you chef and cooks.
A lot of seafood, meat, greens, fruits, sweets. Compared to the budget 5 * hotel is far ahead. From drinks, Efes beer, cola, sprite, fanta, juices (apple, peach, orange, cherry, lemon), water, red wine (you can drink), white (so-so). Do not expect something supernatural from dry Turkish wines.
FB+ nutrition assumes that all drinks outside of breakfast, lunch and dinner are paid, but this does not bother.
- service at a high level. The staff is well-mannered, attentive, not intrusive as in many Turkish hotels.
They try to respond to requests promptly. For example, on the first day the safe did not work - they came to fix it, the mosquito net on the balcony did not close completely - they fixed it quickly. I did not expect such promptness.
I liked the service at the Residence restaurant more, especially on the far terrace (Village Terrace). The waiters are attentive and energetic.
In general, it is felt that they work with the staff.
There is no discrimination based on nationality in the hotel at all. About 60% are British, Germans, Turks, etc. , 40% are Russian-speaking (mostly Russians, a few Ukrainians, Belarusians ... ). To all the attitude is equally attentive and, I would say, reverent. That is, hotel managers understand that it does not matter who paid the money, it is important that the client is satisfied with the service.
- for the animation you should not put a very high mark, well, 4 with a minus. During the day, everyone will find something for themselves. Evening shows are different. Mostly in plain English. I liked the Chinese acrobats (people work), I didn't like the Café Latino Show - people earn money, but they didn't learn how to dance Latin American dances. "Dancers" simply do not hold the line, there is no synchronism, etc.
W - Weaknesses (weaknesses):
- entrance to the sea. After 1 m from the shore, large stones begin. Need slippers. It's not the hotel's fault, but it's a problem to some extent.

- the number of rooms is tired, this is especially felt in the Village. Yes, there will be a renovation, that is, an update, I hope everything will change for the better.
- the hotel is on the side of a mountain, so it has steps. For us, this was not critical, but many do not like to move, then this is a problem.
- Village beach is an abundance of people and children. This hotel has 3 seas - the Mediterranean, the Aegean and the sea of ​ ​ ​ ​ children. Residence beach is calm. There is no barker, but there are waiters with trays who will fulfill the order. But on the Village beach there is a pier, a large plastic pantone floats, on which you can swim.
O - Opportunities (opportunities):
- Attracting investments will make it possible for this hotel to become one of the best in Turkey, which I sincerely wish him.
- Improving the quality of advertising.
- use of the unique opportunities that nature has created in this region.
T - Threats (threats):
- an increase in the price of a holiday in this hotel (this is a threat to future tourists).
- increased competition from other similar hotels.
- stop at the achieved, created in the past, the image of the hotel.

Conclusion:
In my opinion, the price / quality ratio for this hotel is optimal. We did not regret a single cent paid for the tour.
Would I recommend this hotel to others? Definitely yes, but subject to no increase in price.
Would you come to this hotel again? Never understood people who go to the same place twice. But here I would like to return. Here "the hotel is on the side of the tourist. "
So, if the weaknesses I have described are not critical for you, but the strengths attract, the price suits you, then go ahead with the song. You can't help but like this really turquoise sea. Good luck everyone.

Everything. Thank you for your attention. I hope it was interesting to someone, and most importantly useful.
