팔라이아 호텔 닷차

Brilliant hotel with sublime surroundings. Staff are extremely helpful. The decoration is out of this world. The food is best in the area

A beautiful hotel with lovely gardens, pool and clean rooms with views of the water, but, despite the price, this is not a luxury hotel. This was a stunning hotel. The grounds, the sculptures, swimming pool and rooms. The beds were comfortable (even top sheets, which is rare in Turkey), quiet with views of the water and overlooking a cool archeological site. The bellman was the best service person working here. The hotel needs some service improvements. I was going to go to the pool but couldn’t find anyone at the pool bar or towel stand. Then, I went to the restaurant for lunch and sat down for quite some time before someone came over without a menu and had a blank look on his face as if he were confused about why I was sitting there. When I asked for a menu, he brought a QR code - which doesn’t scream luxury hotel. I waited a VERY long time for someone to come back and take my order - I had to flag someone down. And, I waited even longer to get my drinks (I never did receive the water I ordered) and food. Meanwhile, there was only 1 other table and about 5 servers who were ALL looking at their phones. No one was paying any attention. This also doesn’t scream luxury. Pro Tip for the Hotel: Bring the drinks right away before the food is ready, and you’ll likely have your patrons order MORE drinks when their food arrives. I came here solo for 1 reason only: for a very long work meeting via Zoom - to have fast WIFI and comfortable accommodations while doing it. The hotel advertises fast wifi: “100mpts of speed”. I didn’t believe it, because Datca has the worst WIFI, so I emailed the hotel, and they emailed immediately saying yes, this was true. When I got to the hotel, the WIFI speed was 2+ Mbps, not even fast enough to send an email. I called the front desk, and they graciously gave me their password to the hotel private WIFI which was much faster (about 50 Mbps but still no where near 100 as advertised). Two more things: Hangers that are permanently attached to the closet rod screams budget hotel because you’re expecting your patrons to steal your hangers? Also, there was no conditioner or other bath amenities in the rooms - shampoo & soap only. I was at two hotels in Datca last month that cost 1/5 of this price, and they included conditioner in the bathroom/showers. So, my meeting and stay was fine, the service was MEH, the rooms were lovely and quiet, but I will not be back for this price.

I had a fantastic stay at this hotel! The rooms are spacious and beautifully designed, offering a comfortable and relaxing environment. The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming, making the experience even more enjoyable. It's also just a short walk to the city center, which was super convenient. The breakfast was of excellent quality, providing a great start to each day. From check-in to check-out, everything went smoothly. Highly recommend!

One of the most beautiful hotels I’ve seen. The ambience and the staff were great. I just wish they served more options for breakfast as it was the same breakfast everyday. I would definitely visit again.

Palaia Hotel is quite a gem with a picturesque garden and state-of-the-art design. Having stayed there for unforgettable 10 days, I highly recommend this hotel to those who are looking for quiet luxury as well as comfort. With very professional and personable staff, who cater to guests' needs, the hotel represents the pinnacle of hospitality. We look forward to our next visit.

I would like to thank Mr. Altan Avcıoğlu (General Manager) and his team for a memorable stay at Palaia Hotel.I must say it was an exceptional experience from start to finish. Nestled in a prime location, the hotel offers a blend of luxury, comfort, and impeccable service that truly sets it apart. They exceeded all our expectations and provided a truly memorable stay with the best Turkish hospitality. I wholeheartedly recommend Palaia Hotel and look forward to returning in the future.
