I have now stayed at these apartments several times with family and friends separately, and always find that Rose, Emrullah, Fatih and family do their utmost to make sure you enjoy your holiday. Rose is a typical Turkish mother; always making sure you are comfortable, have enough to eat or drink and genuinely wants nothing more than for you to have a great holiday. She's also lovely to sit down and have a cup of cay and a natter with!
Emrullah (Rose's husband) speaks very limited English but don't let that mislead you; he is a really nice man and an excellent chef having owned his own restaurant in Dalyan for over 20 years. He's now in charge of the kitchen having semi-retired. If you try to learn a few words of Turkish, as with other locals, he seems really chuffed!
Fatih speaks excellent English and seems to know everyone, which is handy if you need a trip arranging, to get in touch with someone, or generally any local advice.
There are around 15/16 rooms in the Hotel spread across 2 buildings; the first building is the older one converted from their family home so the room layout can be somewhat quirky. There are several one bedroom apartments (in the new building) which can sleep up to four but really are best suited to couples - one double bed & two sofa beds. Having spent 2 weeks on one of the sofa beds we decided on our next visit to upgrade to a 2 bed apartment which was much better (2 of us travelling, one in the bedroom and me on the sofabed). Sofabeds aren't uncomfortable as such for what they are, the problem is more the lack of space if you're there longer than a week as they are in the living room/kitchen.
2 bed apartments are much bigger, the ones in the newer block are purpose built as apartments so are better laid out and more modern & therefore are our favourites out of the 2 bed types.
there is also one 3 bed apartment which is huuuuge and is my favourite apartment, plenty of space, separate living room, separate kitchen, fireplace, the works! It runs the entire first floor of the old building but bear in mind that, as it's in the old house, it's not as modern as the other block. This apartment is very well furnished, the only thing I don't recall which would have been useful was a kettle but other apts have them so you could probably just ask Fatih and he'd get you one. Also good to know that the door to the second bedroom balcony doesn't quite close properly but is tied closed with a bit of rope... but hey, it's Turkey! And seriously, the hotel is secure and the family are always around so I've personally never found security an issue in 6 visits. There are also 2 hotel dogs, one of which yaps when the gate opens, so this helps! Usually one of the family is asleep in the bar/reception area waiting for guests to arrive from late flights too.
Overall I've always enjoyed staying at the apartments and whilst it isn't luxury all-inclusive, the family make so much effort, the facilities are just what you need and Fatih has a good eye for the furnishings etc in my opinion these factors bump it well above other hotels in its class. If you want to stay at a family run place and really feel part of the family, and can accept the little quirks that come with a family run establishment as opposed to a soulless multi-floor hotel, this is the place for you.

We have just returned from a 12 night break here, and enjoyed every minute!
I reaaly can't understand some of the less flattering reviews on here as everyone staying at the same time as us had nothing but praise for the place.
Fatih, Rose and Dad (never did catch his name!) are the nicest people you could meet, it's true the Dad doesnt have a lot of English but he's still friendly and very helpful!
Rose is a star, we loved her! She is always so concerned that everyone is happy and enjoying themselves and will bend over backwards to help you.
The rooms are small and basic, but perfectly adequate for holiday use. We didn't use the (limited) cooking facilities much as the food was so cheap to buy there, ie omlette 6TL, about £2!.
The rooms are cleaned probably once/twice during a stay and bins emptied too, in fact if you try to empty your own bin they get a bit upset! They provide toilet rolls to last a few days but after that u buy ur own, which for us wasn't a big issue really as it was on a self catering basis after all.
The pool area is small but lovely with around 20 beds. I was always up early so never had any problems there. Most days there were still empty beds at 11ish but I suppose it depends on how full the apartments are to be honest and if those staying are sad enough to try the towels at dawn you find in Spain.
They dont mind if you dont eat there in the evening at all, but the food they do provide is lovely. The Dad had his own restaurant until this season, and he cooked our family of 4 a delicious meal on our last eve involving 3 different meals to suit our requirements and tastes!
Try Roses homemade lemonade and cold apple tea!
Fatih always asks "one more?" but isnt upset if you dont take him up on it!
I would recommend the Turkish night, the food is great, Fatih makes a big effort to make sure everyone has a great time and its a chance for everyone from the apartments to get together too.
We stayed just as Ramadam was coming to an end, which was lovely as all the family came around to celebrate and involved the guests too. It was lovely to meet Roses elderly mother especially.
Its not the Hilton by any stretch, but the lovely caring family make it so much a better experience!
We will definately be back next year!

We were greeted by Fatih's mother Rose upon arrival with two glasses of freshly made lemon juice. We immediately felt welcome. These apartments represent fantastic value for money. We stayed in a one bed roomed apartment on the first floor. The rooms were clean and spacious with a balcony where we took breakfast each morning facing the mountains. We are seasoned traveller who usually avoid organised entertainment but the Turkish evening arranged by Fatih was amazing as was the BBQ on our last night - perfect after a long day swimming and relaxing on the 12 island sail ship trip. Fatih and all his family were very friendly and nothing was too much trouble - we will be back!

On arrival (when we finaly found the hotel as local taxi drivers did not recognise the name of the hotel even when shown on our paper work) we were greated by roses husband who doesnt speak english very well we were shown a scruffy piece of paper saying rose wasnt there due to piror engagments ....we have to move rooms twice before we were finaly lead to our room up a long sprial stair case lugging our heavey cases around .... threw out our stay the room wasnt cleaned , the toilet bin was not changed nor were the beds and we didnt recieve clean towels and we had to buy our own toilet roll ... we were not made to feel at all welcome by any of the staff and did not spend any time at the hotel.... i would not recommend this hotel for couples or familys !! worst place we have ever stayed !!!
