Green Nature Resort and Spa

Honest Review: Green Nature Resort & Spa, Dalaman (Half-Term Stay) We stayed at Green Nature Resort and Spa in Dalaman over the last half-term break, and I thought it would be helpful to share our experience—both the highs and the lessons learned. 🌟 The Good: Friendly Staff: The hotel staff were genuinely warm and helpful throughout our stay. The local taxi drivers we met were also courteous and accommodating. Pool Variety: There are three outdoor pools, including one with a few water slides, and a small indoor pool. This is great for families, though... Clean Facilities: The hotel grounds and public areas were kept tidy and pleasant. 😕 The Not-So-Great: Pool Temperature: The outdoor pools were far too cold for kids to enjoy in April. We've stayed in Antalya before where the pools were heated, so this was disappointing. Repetitive Food: While food was generally decent, the buffet was very chicken-heavy with similar dishes day after day. Sushi on the last day was a pleasant surprise. Entertainment Space: Evening shows were held in a small room that could only seat about 50 people. You’d have to rush through dinner just to grab a spot. ⚠️ Major Warning: Tourist Traps The biggest let-down wasn’t the hotel itself—it was the unauthorized agents lurking in the hotel lobby who pose as tour operators. A man who went by “Sasha” (possibly not his real name) approached us offering a “free” taxi to a shopping hub called Mr. Cheap. Spoiler alert: it was not a shopping centre, but a single overpriced store. We later realized we’d paid way more than normal prices after visiting the real city shopping area. We also got roped into an overpriced family boat trip through the same agent. It was sold as a deal, but in reality, we could’ve gotten a much better package (with alcohol included) by booking directly at the pier. ✅ Tips to Avoid What We Faced: Use Uber or ask your hotel to call a taxi for you—avoid unsolicited offers. Avoid shops that come with “free transport” offers. These often lead to tourist traps. Use GBP or USD for better bargains—rates are more favourable than Euros or Lira in many places. Book tours directly through reputable companies (safaris, boat trips, etc.). what3words - ///basher.input.slim to the town centre shops and boats. Don’t trust random "agents"—they’re usually unregulated and overcharge heavily. 🏁 Final Verdict: 5/10 The hotel was okay overall—nothing was terrible, but there was nothing outstanding either. However, the external scams seriously impacted our experience, so I'd urge families to be cautious. Hope this helps others make more informed decisions and enjoy a smoother holiday!

Great hotel! Complained to reception the safe and air con wasn’t working they came straight up to the room to help very quickly too! Our room was very spacious and we had a lovely view. The restaurant had lots of choice every night and very fresh! Lots of entertainment at the hotel and music around the pool, great location also about 7 minute walk to the strip. Will definitely visit again

This was our first family holiday. What an experience. Our first few days here was continuous rain but the hotel staff and entertainment staff made sure that didn't stop the fun. On our 4th day there wasn't a cloud in the sky and the sun was out. There was lots of entertainment, dancing, music and so much more. I 100% recommend anyone to try this hotel. If you are a foodie and like trying new things this is the place for you. Kids club has been a God send my little girl loves it and the staff are amazing. What an amazing place. X

Honestly had so many expectations of the hotel reading the reviews but was let down badly, hotel staff look down on Brits, rude and arrogant. Some can’t speak English which is understandable and fine however they get angry as they can’t respond back. With the food timings 1 minute before they turn the machines off so you can’t get a drink, whilst eating they start clearing up tables and chairs. Was not great experience at all. There’s a local shop called A1-01 staff are utterly rude and racist. They have so called kids entertainment which they show snipets of in the morning - the entertainers go around asking children to join them for 1 activity at 9am and the rest of the day you see them walking around. The hairdresser in the resort act like they are doing you a favour, got pedicure from them I honestly could smell smelly feet from the scrub they were using and all the did was laugh and talk in their own language when asking them a question. They clean your bedsheets after 3 days. If you ask for something just be prepared to be laughed at or spoken to arrogantly. Worst thing is they rely on tourists and this is how they treat us.

Fantastic resort and excellent service. We are vegetarian so day-1 there were not many options. I spoke to Chef Ismail who went out of the way and cooked 3 to 4 vege dishes everyday with traditional Indian taste and aroma. Loved the food and stay...we will visit again !!
