Blue Lagoon Delux Hotel — Hotel in Fethiye

Firstly, the good points, the rooms are cleaned daily and are cleaned to a high standard. Sadly, that is where the good points end.||Now the not-so-good points||The room was at the top of a communal staircase, so it seemed that most of the hotel guests walked past the front door, and to say the hotel guests were loud and unthoughtful is an understatement. The full week we were there, we were woken up by rowdy guests who thought that it was perfectly acceptable to shout and scream till 4 am. Not the hotel's fault, I know, but for some reason this hotel attracts loud-mouth Londoners in large groups! Then there was a small fridge dumped on the landing for most of the week, we later found out this was meant to be ours for our room. No one on reception informed us of this at all when checking in, very annoying to find out it was ours with one day left. It wasn't even positioned outside of our room. The balcony overlooked next door's hotel pool area, which i found extremely odd.||Now on to the food, in particular, the breakfast. We were staying on a bed and breakfast basis. The breakfast selection was as strange as you get, considering the main nationality was British. Most mornings had a choice of cheap, tasteless cereals, wth the usual grainy cold meats and cheeses or broken biscuits with the hot selection being chips, beans and boiled eggs every morning with onion rings, cheese and spinach rolls, and scrambled eggs being served on a random rota basis. Like i said a very odd selection for breakfast. They had a cook making omelettes but even they got extremely tedious after a few days. The drinks were the cheapest orange juice imaginable with breakfast tea already made up in a tea urn, which i found odd too. The coffee machine was passable, but the general feeling was they were obliged to provide it so they were doing it as cheaply as the hotel could get away with.||The staff were about as interactive with the guests as a clothes shop dummy. George, the bar manager, only seemed bothered about you if you spent most of your days boozing around the pool bar. It's sad when hospitality is only extended to the ones spending the most. Like I stated earlier, it was like a shouting contest around there. Danny Dyer wannabes getting fuelled up every day and all vying to talk over the others. The sunbeds were absolutely crammed in around the pool area and the were a lot of broken ones amongst them. It was near the end of their season, granted but to leave broken beds out is in my opinion, is unforgivable in this day and age.||We visited this same hotel three years ago and although i enjoyed it last time, i can't help but feel that it has gone downhill dramatically. Obviously, i would never return again now after seeing the sad decline in standards, etc of the hotel. There are far too many more modern and customer-friendly hotels now in the area to...

Good: 10 minute walk to Ölüdeniz beach and many restaurants small scale, staff is regular and most were very kind and welcoming there seem to often be good deals for this hotel on 3rd party sites. If you find one for max €40-45/night, I would say it's good value. If prices are comparable to other hotels I probably would stay somewhere else if I went back. nice small pool area (beds all get reserved before breakfast with towels - please make a point of actually removing the towels!) breakfast was quite nice if you like eggs, salad, savory options. Not many sweet options and no pastries. Clearly catered to Brits. Nice view at breakfast!

The not so good: emailed them before my stay, never received a reply the receptionists don't speak much if any English. Communication has to go through google translate. souterrain rooms are quite dark and people can look inside very easily I had issues getting hot water pretty much every day. It usually took at least 5 minutes before the shower got a little warmer, which is a huge waste of water. Often it did not get warm at all. I had to complain about this quite a few times before action was taken. I was moved to a different room where I did not have this issue, but no compensation was offered. The "deluxe" room I was moved to was nicer furnished and larger, but has a big safety issue: you only have 1 window which doubles as the entrance door. No way to leave it open a bit at night as anyone could enter freely. If you want to lock the door at night, it's also a safety issue: you need to put the key back in the card reader on the wall, so in case of an emergency like a fire you'd first need to find the key and stick it in the lock before you can unlock and open it to escape. This is poor design and not fitting for a deluxe room imho. I specifically looked for a hotel outside party central Ovacik and away from the Ölüdeniz main strip. Nevertheless, there is (often very loud) music coming from the bar area all day and all night, from 10 AM until at least midnight, and all rooms face the bar area so there is no escape. After a few times of asking the music was turned down a bit, but they told me the music needs to be turned up again once customers arrive (the bar was empty a lot of the time). I understand wanting to play music for bar customers, but you really can't call yourself a kid friendly hotel if you and your young children can't get any sleep until after midnight! And if you insist on keeping your guests awake, at least extend breakfast times somewhat. This seemed to also cater to the party happy British tourists. Not everyone likes the party to be inside their accommodation - some of us hope to relax and unwind...

Review for Blue Lagoon Deluxe Hotel, Ölüdeniz|I had a fantastic stay at the Blue Lagoon Deluxe Hotel in Ölüdeniz and would absolutely return! This hotel is a gem for the price we paid—£600 for two, including flights, which is an incredible deal. The hotel is spotlessly clean, with lovely housekeepers who take great pride in their work. The pool area is a highlight, beautifully maintained and perfect for relaxing. I’d recommend future guests request a room in Block C overlooking the pool for the best views and vibe.|The rooms are basic but immaculate, though I’d advise avoiding rooms 101–104, as these are basement rooms and quite dark. All other rooms we saw were perfectly fine. Be aware that air conditioning and a fridge each cost £20 per week, and late check-out until 5pm is available for £20, which is great value. The staff are wonderful—friendly, attentive, and always ready to help. The bar is well-stocked and open late, with reasonably priced, delicious lunches that can be charged to your room and settled on departure.|Breakfast offers a mix of traditional Turkish and continental options, which we enjoyed. However, I’d recommend sticking to bed and breakfast, as the hotel’s prime location makes it easy to explore Ölüdeniz’s fantastic restaurants and bars, all within a short walk. The beach and town are also just steps away, which was one of our favorite things about this hotel—everything is so conveniently located!|A word of caution: the pool area’s sunbeds are close together, so during school holidays, it could feel crowded with just a few families taking them up. For quieter stays, consider visiting outside peak times.|Overall, this isn’t a 5-star resort, but for the price, it’s hard to fault. I’ve stayed in all sorts of hotels, and I don’t understand any negative reviews—this place is friendly, clean, and perfectly located. For budget-conscious travelers looking for a great base in Ölüdeniz, the Blue Lagoon Deluxe is a fantastic choice. I’d...
