I stayed here in summer 2009 and had a lovely holiday. Im writing a review now as i've realised how important it is to leave good ones! the location was great, it was a nice walk to the beach past the bars and restaurants and there was lots to do in the area, we did a few reasonable priced trips. The room was lovely and the pool/bar was very clean and the staff we helpful and friendly.

My partner and I stayed at the Celay hotel for ten days in June 2011.

The hotel was fantastic and was the foundation of an excellent holiday.

We started our stay in a basic room overlooking the pool. The room was small and in need of upgrading. There was a balcony, however it was only big enough for one person to sit outside.

After spending a couple of days in the standard rooms, we were offered an upgrade to the deluxe rooms for an extra £10 a night. We took the upgrade and it turned a good holiday into a great holiday.

The deluxe rooms were impeccable, spacious and air conditioned. They had a large balcony which afforded an impressive view across the hills.

The swimming pool is large, cleaned regularly and there are sufficient numbers of sun loungers available. The hotel has a policy where towels are not allowed to be left on loungers overnight. This provided a much more relaxed stay.

The staff were friendly and helpful. The rooms did not appear to get cleaned regularly and we had the same bed sheets for the duration of our stay in each room.

We stayed on a bed and breakfast basis and would encourage others to do the same. The food in Turkey is very cheap and we ate at a different restaurant every night.

Overall, I would recommend this hotel to couples and families, however I would be wary of staying here if you have a disability or mobility issues. The hotel is quite high in the hills, with a 15 minute walk to the nearest town. The bus into the nearby towns (Dolmus) does not go right outside the hotel, and again there is a 10 minute walk to the nearest stop.

This review is late due to family circumstances but travelled the end of July to the Celay. Arrived middle of the night and was shown to our room in the new block as booked by the evening receptionist who was very helpful and curteous. Room was large and very clean. Was on the ground floor but this was cool and so air con was not required. Struggled a little at meal times as I am a picky eater but my husband found there was enough choice for him. Also enjoyed a lovely meal ,accompanied by Patch the dog ,at the restaurant on the corner of the next road down. Had a brilliant holiday with turkish bath, organised by the hotel, mud baths at dalaman although the photo disk bought did not work when returned home!! Really enjoyed the zombie bar and went on quite a few nights. Always made to feel welcome. At the hotel the staff were always helpful and we found the hotel a good base, although sometimes the walk from the bus or town was tiring in the heat but just took our time. Would recommend and would return if in that area.

We spent two weeks here and enjoyed ourselves so much. The staff are friendly, the rooms are clean and face onto the swiming pool. We were able to keep our room on after the check out time as we had a sily o'clock flight time, this really helps you start your journey home better. Breakfast was pleasant with plenty of it too!
The hotel is about a twenty min walk to the main resort, so you can work up hunger and then walk it off if you've overindulged a bit. This means that it's peaceful for sleeping. It's nice to be a little bit away from the hustle and bustle, but not too far that you can't walk it. Plenty of taxis can take you if needed.
Loved the place.
