Zafir Hotel & Villas

Brand new hotel, clean, spacious, modern and well designed. Location is great because its away from all the noise of the centre, surrounded by mountains. 20 minutes walk to the Oludeniz beach where you can rent a bed/umbrella for 15TL each. Water is great but rocky bottom. Hotel staff were friendly and accommodating. Most spoke good English. They picked us up at a dolmush drop-off point late at night and brought us to the hotel.

We had a double bed room with sofa for three people and a walk out into the pool from our room. Amazing! The pool glows a beautiful blue and lounge music plays all day and evening. Breakfast was a very basic Turkish one with an order of eggs. Bathroom was supplied with nice soaps, brushes, shavers, etc.

Villas look fantastic from the outside with their own private pools. Luggage storage is available.

SUGGESTIONS: • Bar lacks basics, like cocktails! If the main sitting area is made more inviting, more guests would hand out there. Currently there are bright white lights with basic tables that make the area look like a cafeteria. Try dimming the lighting, adding soft couches or modern-style Turkish beds. • A big patch of land in the front could be turned into a "pocket park" with grass, loungers, bean bag chairs, trees and mood-lighting. • Need free bottles of water daily in rooms. • Try a buffet breakfast with more variety and cooked food. Include dinner options. • Rooms should be cleaned daily - like all other hotels.
