Whilst we enjoyed our time at Lycian Dreams things could have been alot better !!
The Welcome to the hotel should have been much more personal, a young man asked to see passport, stated we were there for 2 weeks & then said Pay Now !! Hardly informative in relation to hotel & resort & lacking the personal touch.
We were then shown to a first floor room !! when we had requested & paid for a self catering apartment, upon questioning this we were advised that the people in our apartment had decided to stay longer !!! Having protested things were eventually put right & after a few hours we were able to unpack in the apartment ( not a good start)
The location is ideal, just far enough away from the hussle & bussle of the center of the resort but easily within walking distance. The peace & quiet does make you feel you are removed from everyday life( by night there is a bar that overlooks the pool area which can become quite noisy & whilst the pool does look bigger in the photographs it did more than meet our needs.
The Apartment had ample air conditioning included which was very welcome & very effective, they are large & spacious & more than suitable for a family of 4. (Whilst the bathroom had a jacuzzi bath, this had obviously not been used in a while as turning it on resulted in stagnant water & dirt being dispersed-perhaps a service is required !!!) The showers whilst advertised a "Power Showers" are not ( I am in the trade & know)
The maid service was second to none, our rooms were always kept clean & tidy & nothing was too much trouble to probably one of the best maids we have ever had ( the children loved her)
We were with 2 other families who had stayed there on previous years who all said things had slipped, unkept gardens, dirt pool side area,broken umbrellas & sunbeds)
Each family said things had slipped & probably would not be back again, which is a shame.
The restaurant overlooking the pool/gardens was apparently under new management (same ownership as hotel) which we did not visit as the other guests did not as all got tired of being hassled each day by the restaurant staff whilst whilst trying to relax poolside. ( you expect it in the street but not in your own hotel)
The cafe bar the the front of the hotel was also excellent with all staff ( Sid & team etc etc) being very friendly, offering a great atmosphere to drink, relax & eat & making us all welcome, again, nothing too much trouble.Great Stuff
Kate was not there during our stay, which we would have liked to have known in advance as the kids were looking forward to meeting her, however that said Yusuf did a great job & again nothing was too much trouble.
Despite a few negative points, this is a lovely place which we all enjoyed greatly but it does raise the question if the owners have taken their finger off the pulse & with so much potential,attention to detail is paramount in such a location & some areas do need to be looked at.
