A lovely relaxing holiday
We had the most excellent stay at Dalyan Live and would absolutely return again.
Location A peaceful spot next to the Dalyan River. You can see the ancient tombs from outside of the hotel! It is a short 10-15 min stroll into town where you'll find restaurants, bars and shops. It has a perfect balance of lively and relaxed - you can find a restaurant or bar to fit your mood. The hotel is a located just 1 min to the pier where you can catch a boat to Turtle Beach. Just ask reception to call the boat for you. It costs 400TL each, return.
Atmosphere The hotel itself is lovely. The staff are so friendly and we spend many evenings chatting away to the bar staff. Special mention to Meltem and Ati who were so lovely to spend time talking to! The bar is open until 2am but its not loud or disruptive. Great drinks menu, reasonably priced, including the cocktails. Nice to stop for a relaxed drink after an evening out. It would be an excellent hotel as 'adults only' as the relaxing vibe of the hotel was sometimes not the same during the day when there were many children playing (or whinging 😆) in the pool. As a quiet spa hotel with no real facilities for children, it would suit adult only much better!
Facilities The pool is big and a perfect temperature. The area around to pool could just do with a little upkeep - bit of a sweep and tidy more regularly. The sunbeds were a bit of an issue. People reserving them at breakfast and then not using them until hours later. We did always manage to find a sunbed, but often at the back / behind a row of empty ones with towels on! Later in the week several big family groups who were the worst culprits did leave and the situation improved. It shouldn't be for the hotel to police, people just need to be better! The sunbed cushions look a bit tired and need a bit of an update to feel a little more like 4*. We didnt use the spa or gym. We intended to hire the golf buggies but forgot our driving licenses, so make sure you have this if you want to hire them.
Food The breakfast is simple. I thought it was delicious the first few days and then it did get a little bit repetitive after a week! If staying for longer we may have headed out for breakfast for a change. For example there are about 15 different types of jams in huge bowls (that were delicious!), but just 1 type of bread everyday. The food menu at the bar is excellent serving pizza, pasta, wraps, chicken, Turkish cuisine, meze, burgers etc etc. Every meal we had there was delicious. There is no set lunch/dinner time or menu, so you can eat anytime you like until about 730pm. It's s really convenient to fit in with your day.
Rooms Room was a good size, quiet, clean and well kept. However, you can see there is some general wear and tear that again would benefit form a bit of updating and maintenance to truly feel 4*. The room was quiet at night (which I value greatly!) and we got a good night's sleep on the huge comfy bed. Air con was lovely!
This was an excellent holiday overall. Highlights of the hotel are the staff, pool and quiet location. Improvements would be updating the sunbeds and making the breakfast a little more varied.

Fantastic chilled atmosphere
Second time visiting Daylan Live Spa Hotel and we absolutely love it, rooms are to a high standard cleaned everyday, breakfast is lovely especially the eggs cooked freshly, no hassle for sunbeds always plenty available, and a really chilled vibe at the hotel leaving a relaxed feeling, staff can't do enough for you, we will be booking again for next year.
A Wonderful Stay — We’d Happily Return!
We absolutely loved our stay here and, having read some of the previous comments, our experience was completely different. We were recommended by others on this website, and we’re so glad we took their advice.
The staff were fantastic — so warm, friendly and welcoming, and nothing was ever too much trouble. The lady who cooked the eggs at breakfast was particularly lovely and even remembered our names each day, which was such a lovely personal touch.
The food was excellent — fresh, tasty and beautifully prepared. Breakfast had a lovely selection of homemade options, alongside plenty of other choices to suit all tastes — even my fussy 12-year-old! We also really enjoyed the food and drinks around the pool.
We can understand the comments about the sunbeds, as people were clearly getting up early for their preferred spots which I wouldn’t expect the hotel to have to police! However, this didn’t mean there were no other beds available. We always found an alternative around the pool which was still convenient and enjoyable.
The hotel has a lovely, relaxed atmosphere, our room was clean and comfortable, and the location was perfect for us — an easy walk into Dalyan whilst still being peaceful.
We genuinely couldn’t fault our stay and would happily return. Fantastic staff, excellent food and a lovely atmosphere — we’re so glad we chose to stay here!

Unfortunately not for us!
We really really wanted to like this hotel especially having read the positive reviews and feedback. Unfortunately this hotel was not to the standards for our party of 6 and we politely left after 3 nights of a 9 night stay and moved to the Caria Special Class Hotel on the river. Our experience was rather contradictory to the reviews. Despite the hotel stating a strict no towel reservation of sun-beds, they were all taken by 7am. In the three days we were here we were unable to obtain a single bed and had to go to another hotel to enjoy the pool. Breakfast is basic. There is no waiter service or being looked after and the bar menu is limited. If being waited on and service is something that is important to you, then perhaps this hotel is not for you. The rooms are very basic and need modernising. This hotel is a good 15 minute walk to the town. I don't want to be completely negative about this hotel, some may find it a wonderful experience and a means to an end, a reasonably priced get away, but I guess this is dependent on your expectations and accommodation standards! Unfortunately it just wasn't for us. Dalyan itself is lovely, especially by the river. There are plenty of wonderful places to experience some delicious food. We will return and most definitely either book a villa or stay at the Caria again.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A wonderful, relaxing stay!
We have just returned from a fantastic stay at Dalyan Live Hotel and honestly didn't want to leave.
From the moment we arrived, we were made to feel so welcome. A special thank you to Batu and Meric on reception, and Beber at the bar. They were all absolutely brilliant throughout our stay – always smiling, friendly, approachable and happy to help. They are a real credit to the hotel and made our holiday even more enjoyable.
Our room was spacious, spotlessly clean and very comfortable. The bathroom was modern, and the shower was amazing – one of the best hotel showers I've experienced!
We ate at the hotel several times during our stay and really enjoyed the food. There was a good variety, everything was fresh, and we always found something we liked. The pool was another highlight. It was a great size, never felt overcrowded and was surprisingly warm, making it perfect for a relaxing swim at any time of the day.
One of the best decisions we made was hiring the electric scooter buggies. They were so much fun and made exploring Dalyan really easy. I'd highly recommend giving them a try.
Dalyan itself completely won us over. The people are some of the friendliest and most welcoming we've ever met. The whole town has such a peaceful, laid-back atmosphere, which was exactly what we were looking for. If you're after lively nightlife and busy resorts, this probably isn't the place. But if you want to relax, slow down and experience genuine Turkish hospitality, it's perfect.
We visited the fascinating ancient ruins at Kaunos and spent time at the beautiful İztuzu Beach. The water was crystal clear, and I loved that getting around involved short ferry and boat trips. It gives Dalyan a unique charm that's very different from Antalya and Side, where we've stayed previously.
We also enjoyed eating out in town and were impressed wherever we went. A special mention goes to La Piazza on the waterfront, where we enjoyed a lovely meal overlooking the river. Chef Steakhouse was excellent, George at Dosi Restaurant made us feel incredibly welcome, and we also had a fantastic meal at China Town, where both the food and service were excellent.
Overall, this holiday exceeded our expectations. Dalyan Live Hotel was the perfect base for exploring such a beautiful part of Turkey, and the warmth and kindness shown by everyone we met made it even more memorable.
Thank you to all the staff at Dalyan Live Hotel for such a wonderful stay. We left with amazing memories and hope to return again very soon.
