We stayed at Beach Club Doganay Hotel from 1st April 2025 for 5 nights, and overall, it was a good experience with a few areas for improvement.
Room & Housekeeping:
The room was clean, comfortable, and well-maintained. Daily cleaning was provided, and bed covers were changed regularly. A 24-hour phone service was also available, which made things convenient.
Beach & Pool Area:
Both the beach and pool areas were well-kept and enjoyable. However, I did face an issue with one of the pool cleaners whose attitude was sometimes unprofessional. I hope the management addresses this to ensure a fully welcoming environment.
Food & Drinks:
The food offered a good variety, especially the desserts and cakes, which were excellent if you're on an all-inclusive plan. However, I would suggest the hotel consider adding a few spicy food options, as not all guests prefer mild tastes. Some variety in spice levels would enhance the experience.
Staff & Service:
Most of the staff were cooperative, and the service was generally good, though there's still room for improvement in responsiveness and attitude in certain areas.
Entertainment & Activities:
The hotel had a kids' club, a kids' pool area, and nightly shows for children, which were great. Information about daily activities was clearly displayed on notice boards.
Wi-Fi & Facilities:
Free Wi-Fi was available throughout the hotel, and the indoor pool area was a nice bonus. The beach area was also a highlight.
Concerns:
The outdoor beach was closed for the first two days of our stay and opened afterward. I strongly suggest the hotel prioritise maintenance and make all key facilities available from day one to avoid disappointment, especially for guests visiting for a short holiday.
Tips for Visitors:
If you're planning to go shopping, I highly recommend using the local bus service to visit the nearby bazaar. It's very convenient — the bus stop is just across the road, and it takes only 5 minutes to get there.
Final Thoughts:
Yes, I would recommend Beach Club Doganay Hotel. Everyone has different preferences, and while this review reflects my honest experience, others may have different expectations. Overall, it's a pleasant place to relax and enjoy your holiday.

Our first time in Turkey and we weren't sure what to expect but we would 100% go again to this hotel. We traveled as family of 4 with 2 children.Everything was fantastic from the food, entertainment to the staff. Special mention to shaban who was our hotel rep and burkay, the animation team and yosef from the hotel shop who was such a lovely man. The only bad thing I can say about the hotel is the slides and pools weren't open but that's to be expected when not in season. I highly recommend booking the spa package which includes sauna, steam room, Turkish bath and massage. I came out of the place like a new woman 🙂 we found the food to be excellent with plenty of choice. Even myself as a fussy eater never went hungry and plenty of options for children too. The beach is beautiful, no need to fight for sun loungers and there is entertainment and a beach bar with a buffet on most of the day. We booked excursions through our lovely rep which were the pirate ship and buggy safari both of which were well worth the money and the highlights of the holiday. Alcoholic drinks aren't included on the ship so you can take your own on and if you go on the buggies make sure you wear old clothes as you get soaked and very muddy! If you come in march the weather isn't always hot especially on a night so warmer clothes is a good idea. All in all one of the best holidays we have had and we would definitely do it again

We returned from vacation yesterday. I was in this hotel for the fourth time but it's already the last. I understand that it may not be the season yet but assessment is a maximum of one point. The room is still bearable but the carpets in the elevator stink, dirt everywhere (old block). I took a photo of the carpet near the elevator. In the dining room there is a bad smell in places, similar to cat urine, the food is poor but I understand that this hotel does not meet 5 stars so I'm not even talking about it. The only big plus is their spa. The girls from Thailand are super. This time I was only there for 4 days so it didn't ruin my vacation but I definitely don't recommend it to anyone who pays a lot of money!

I stayed at the Beach club Doganay Hotel for two nights in December 2023. Many of the hotel facilities were closed, the equipment in the room and the hotel lobby was very old. The food was almost the same but it didn't taste bad. The receptionist answered questions and gave me directions, thank you. The hotel is spacious and connected to Yakhl via an underpass, and the surrounding scenery is very beautiful. But the worst thing that happened to me at the hotel was buying a Turkish bath and massage package for 25 euros from a Kyrgyz agent who was stationed in the hotel lobby. I bought it with her advertisement during a market downturn, but it was very short and fast, in less than an hour, the bath and massage were over. I protested that my package was 90 minutes, but it was of no use and I told the receptionist about the matter, who said that unfortunately the bath and massage are rented by a contractor, however, he said that he would pass the matter on to the hotel manager. But why should a 5-star hotel not have supervision over the performance and behavior of the spa staff is still strange to me and for this reason I do not give a full score. Overall, I do not recommend the hotel to anyone with this management style. The decision is yours.

I enjoyed 9 nights in early March 2025. There is a regular city bus that can take you into town. The wifi internet was good. I could hear neighbors sometimes but some of that is to be expected. I stayed in the main building. Food was good and plenty of options for vegetarians and people who eat meat. Beautiful sunsets on the beach. I was impressed with the very fast laundry service. Pleased with the price and my experience. Thanks to all the nice people at the hotel.
