We chose the hotel in the area of ​ ​ Oludeniz and the Blue Lagoon. Hotel Nicholas Park near the village of Hisaronu. I love small compact hotels, with well-groomed territory, a lot of greenery and not a lot of people in the hotel. The location of the hotel is amazing: around the mountains, below the sea, on the territory of pines and cedars. The air is amazing, cool in the heat (the temperature in the hotel is 5-7 degrees lower than down on the beach in Oludeniz). The views from the observation deck of the hotel, from the pool area and the dining room are mesmerizing. The feeling that you live in a botanical garden. Everything in the photo is even more beautiful in reality.
Number: We were very lucky with the room, we lived in a standard with a patio and a view of the bay (rooms 604-609), two adults and a child of 12 years old (1 bed was delivered). The room is not big, but cozy, clean, bright, always in the shade. Comfortable beds, white furniture good repair. The only thing is a small shower, for overweight people, probably not very convenient. Of course, this number is not guaranteed. We wanted a triple room (the hotel has them), but our tour operators provide only standard rooms and at a price slightly cheaper than on the hotel's website. There are very few of us Russian speakers. Europeans and Turks mainly rest in the hotel, and rooms are booked on the hotel website or on other sites such as booking... , and there the prices are different.
Every day, high-quality room cleaning and very pleasant staff, always greet, smile.

Meals: The kitchen at the hotel exceeded all expectations (this was noted in all reviews), many thanks to the chefs. Everything is freshly prepared, a huge selection of dishes. Beef, chicken, liver, tongues, fish - fried, grilled, with various sauces. Each dinner is a dish from the chef, never repeated in 12 days. All kinds of vegetables (eggplants, zucchini, tomatoes,... ) fried, baked, stuffed, vegetable stew. Fruits, raw vegetables and baked goods are always fresh. In the morning there is always cedar honey and jam cooked (not factory-made) from cherries, apricots, raspberries, strawberries...
There are always free tables, dirty dishes are removed very quickly, tablecloths are changed if they are dirty, and they are served with new appliances.
Beach. There is a beach from the hotel, where they are taken for free, two flights in the morning and two flights back after 4 o'clock in the afternoon. Sunbeds and umbrellas on the beach are paid. We didn't like it, we went there once. We were twice in the Blue Lagoon, we liked it, it was very beautiful, we rode a catamaran, but after 12 there were a lot of people. Most of all I liked the city beach, it is huge, there are not many people, the sea is of amazing color and very clean. The cost of a sunbed and an umbrella is 15 lira. You can use your own umbrella and bedding (zones cost 30 lire), because. the beach is municipal and a lot of space is very convenient. Many vacationers do this. Many write about special shoes, but we didn’t need them, we reached the water in flip flops (for me, moving along the Yalta beach has always been a big problem), we saw that some people walk in special shoes, in which they swim.
It took 15-20 minutes to get to the beach, 5-7 minutes to the minibus and 10-12 minutes on the minibus to the beach. They go very often (we hardly ever waited more than 5 minutes) and costs 3.75 lira per person. But these costs can be reduced by buying a ticket for the number of trips that are needed. At some stops there is a manager who sells these tickets, then at the entrance to the minibus you need to attach it to the display.
The afternoon was spent mostly at the hotel. The pools are not very large, but it is always clean around, clean water, a slide works, there are always free sunbeds, including in the shade under the pines.
For those who need a beach in the hotel itself, this option is not suitable. You need to connect to Wi-fi periodically, in some places on the territory there is no coverage. For us, these moments were not fundamental and therefore we were very pleased with the rest.
