Blue Lagoon Hotel

Lisette van Loo

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 on holiday..

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 happily book again!

Omg This was by far the worst hotel I have ever stayed at on vacation. All the staff gossiped together about the hotel guests in the evenings, but in front of everyone they pretended to be nice. They didn’t know that I understand Turkish. As a woman, I felt very uncomfortable in this hotel. I really wouldn’t recommend it to anyone. We had booked half board, but in the end they tried to stick us with a bill for 400 euros. After a lot of arguing, it suddenly went down to just 100 euros. I have never experienced such bad and dishonest staff before. Omg dont Go there Trust me

Nice pool area in a great setting . A family hotel with kids that blasts music loud allday until 11 11.30 pm poor kids must struggle to sleep, all should take ear plugs . some rooms damp. Some have areas of black mold unfit for habitation ( room 126 ). Got a room switch to room 111 , also damp but no mold . Manager not interest in amending it . Breakfast very .good. food after breafast a bit dodgy. better when manager george isnt around acts like a strict condescending teacher depending on what you spend Receptionists very nice & helpful . Stayed 5 times but last 2 visits only booked as nothing else available.
