Alize Hotel Oludeniz - All Inclusive

After reading a number of negative reviews about this place we were tempted to ask our tour operator to move us to another hotel. We were so very glad we didn't! It is a smallish hotel with staff (particularly Saff and some of the restaurant employees) who could not do enough to help. From reception to restaurant and bar staff, down to cleaning employees and ladies who cleaned our room (who delighted us with their artistic skills), we experienced nothing but courtesy and assistance . We were two older ladies and appreciated the attentions staff offered us and other residents. The food was average for an all inclusive (I have stayed at other hotels in same resort on 4 occasions) and there was always plenty of choice. The location was ideal and entertainment good. It might not suit everybody as some prefer larger, more impersonal hotels, but we enjoyed our stay.

We booked this as a last minute get away. I did read the reviews before we arrived which did worry me slightly however we kept a open mind. We arrived at 6.30am in the morning, luggage was taking to the room on the 3rd floor . The room was small however as a couple we only needed a double bed but there were bunk beds and a settee in the room. Bathroom was very spacious. Overall very pleased with the room considering you only sleep and shower in there. Beds and pillows very comfy. Small balcony but we never really used it as we were either around the pool or out & about. The food was "OK" we always found something to eat but for breakfast Colliflower and Broccoli is not for me . You do have the option Toast (the bread is delicious), eggs, Omelette and pancakes so that was a bonus. Drinks were local, beer was slightly watered down but it was ok. The entertainment staff did try and encourage you to join in in water polo, Darts etc but they were not over the top always came round every morning to say "Hi". Location of the hotel is perfect short walk to the ***** and beach and the hotel provides a transport service to Sugar beach. The room was cleaned daily and the cleaner was really nice. Overall we had a pleasant week. Negative comment :when sitting out side having breakfast 2 of the Guys that work there were always telling you to hurry up as service finishes at 10.30am . One morning at 10.20am one of them went to remove table cloth (i had my phone, Key etc on the table). I told him to wait and hang on so i could remove my belongings and he did shout at me. I did raise my voice back to tell him to hang on which he didn't like one bit .I never witnessed to any Male guest just females. Its a shame as all the other staff were very polite.

The wife and i had a great week here the beds were comfortable and the facilities in the room were basic but clean and tidy, the menu choices can be a little strange at times but there wasnt a meal time we couldnt eat. If you want british food dont go abroad simple as. Staff were always welcoming some more than others but thats people. Sambo the bar waiter was our staff member of the week he always asked how our day was and always happy to see you and say hello dont read the negative comments we had a great week in the sun with views of the mountains that were amazing. Close to the ***** full of bars and shops and the beach we would definitely return

Stayed at this hotel for 10 nights, and it’s good value for money considering it’s a cheaper all inclusive. The room was clean, and spacious. The air con wasn’t great but it wasn’t boiling hot like it would be in July/August. Housekeeping cleaned our room everyday so I can’t complain about the room! The mattress is very hard but that’s a personal preference. The staff are really lovely at the hotel, apart from one man that works in the restaurant he kept pestering about coming up to my room which was a bit awkward! The food is very basic, there are choices at each meal time but it’s your standard low budget all inclusive buffet. We went out of the hotel a lot so the food wasn’t really a big issue for us, I think if you’re planning on being in the hotel for your entire holiday then you might get a bit bored of the food. The location of the hotel is great, literally just off the ***** that leads to the beach! Overall we enjoyed staying at the hotel, the staff are really lovely and helpful. The room is clean and the pool area is nice. It’s just the food choices I think could be better but again it’s preference.

I would suggest anyone reading the reviews takes a balanced view - if you want a luxury 4 star hotel/gourmet experience you will be disappointed. However, if you want a small independent hotel with an amazing pool and staff that you will get to know by name in a few days, all just steps away from the hustle and bustle of Oludeniz, then you’ll be fine! The rooms are small but functional. We booked a triple room and had to change rooms on the first day as ours only had a double bed and a window seat with a sheet on when we arrived. There were no pillowcases on the (tiny!) single small pillows, and amenities were provided for just two people (2 water bottles, 2 towels etc.). Hanufe on Reception did a great job in finding us a more suitable room (I travelled with my elderly mother and 24 year old daughter, and my mother needed easy access due to mobility issues). The shower was excellent, the balcony tiny and the air conditioning efficient. Note that none of the rooms appear to be step-free. There is a wheelchair available but another guest had it, so the helpful bell boy assisted us in hiring a mobility scooter (£35 for two days) for outings. My daughter is vegan so struggled a little with the food offering, but we always found enough to eat and enjoyed the house rosé and beer. It was disappointing that cocktails were not part of the all inclusive deal (hence it is not really all inclusive!). We never had a problem finding sun beds, but there is an issue with people reserving them which could perhaps be addressed to save any unpleasantness. The bar staff were always charming and attentive, and we never had to wait long for a drink. The pool was huge, usually empty and refreshingly cold in the 30 degree heat of late September. Note that there are no pool towels provided - we had to go out and buy some. The hotel location is its star attraction - surrounded by impressive mountains you don’t get a sense of being in the middle of a town. It was great to be able to stroll into the centre in just a few minutes, and sit at a beach bar sipping a cocktail and watching the glorious sunsets. We had a great time and would go back.

Hotel Alize Nightmare on Elm street is the proper name for what this so called hotel is. We arrived here for a weeks holiday on the 22nd Sep about 01.30 in the morning at the Alize hotel. (Easyjet flight was 2hrs late). Right from the moment we stepped in the hotel doorway has this been the worst experience of our lives. We were escorted to our room by some boy who didn’t know anything about the hotel and no information was forth coming at the reception either. The room turned out to be OK but small, the thing they called a balcony you could fit only two seats on it. Breakfast is at seven till nine, so we decided to investigate what the food was like. Food, there was none!! Breakfasts consists of bread, cheese salty brocoli ?? Coffee some orange juice if there was enough left plus find your own glass to pour it in. There waiters consisted of, what looked like there scruffy mates and continuously picked up your cutlery so they didn’t run out again. Lunch would be a race to a scruffy room where you may be allowed some chips or an ice cream. Again, this room looked dinghy and tired hence you did not want to eat from there. The quality of the food was distasteful and discussing throughout our stay. Dinner was not much better. The food and verity is very boring and tasteless. I had a chicken savoury dish with rice yesterday and the whole dish was just chicken bones. The kebab Turkish night was kebabsand various other things that had no identity to them,but most people did not eat due to the gas burner breaking down. Deserts we’re totally disgusting or tasteless as was most of the food. What can one say about the lack of water, drinks,disgusting food layed on and the boys from the black stuff staff,if you wanted a beer there was only one beer to choose from. Sometimes you had to go look for a glass if you did as there was none available. The over all decorative building was held together by mystic sealant and even then they couldn’t get that straight. My view and many more I spoke with would be to close this dump down the sooner the better as someone mite get poisoned from the hygienic state of the place. I would have asked for a transfer immediately but due to the excursions we did ment we spent as little time as possible in this motel should I call it, cause all you got was a bed!!

Having read some of the reviews prior to going we were slightly apprehensive but decided to take a chance as the location is excellent and we don’t spend a great deal of time in the room, basically sleeping and showering. We arrived 06.30 ish and the night manager greeted us and our bags were taken to our room. After a long journey I was desperate for a cuppa. The manager offered to get me a coffee from the restaurant which wasn’t due to open until 07.00 but the water heater hadn’t got up to temperature yet, he did try and was very friendly. Our room overlooked the pool area and although basic it was ok. It had a mini fridge which didn’t really keep any drinks very cold but it was better than nothing. The rooms don’t have kettles or irons but we knew that and took our own kettle and iron. Our room was cleaned daily and towels changed daily too. Bedding changed 3 times in the week so no complaints about that. The place in general could do with being spruced up a bit, looked a bit grubby in certain areas. Our main issue was the food!! I’ve been coming to Ölüdeniz for a few years, usually stay all inclusive and this was the worst food I’ve ever came across by a long stretch! Bordering on inedible! Basically a cheap and tasteless buffet with nothing of any quality. A fellow traveller we met there said he’d been using the hotel the past 3 years and it has deteriorated each year food wise. As for the drinks the draught beer tastes fine but must be 2% max strength. There are no cocktails on offer unless you pay, apparently there was previous years. The spirit list had about 4 local spirits but no whiskey. We found the staff to all be very pleasant and friendly. Would I stay there again ? Definitely not.
