Fantastic holiday at Portakal July/Aug 2026
I donโt normally do reviews but we have just came back yesterday ( Aug 6th) from a 16 day stay at this hotel, and this hotel cannot be faulted for anything they do. The rooms are on the more than average size for Turkish hotel, and they are cleaned every day. The whole cleanliness of the hotel cannot be faulted the staff work hard to ensure this is done every day. All of the staff are really nice and friendly from receptionist to the maintenance man, they actually help made our holiday as enjoyable as it was, and it was one of the best holidays we have had. The owners also go out of their way to make sure you have a good time and will sit and chat to you if that is what you like. There are no sunbed issues, as there was more than enough beds to go around, and no reserving beds the night before for the next day, not that you needed to Thank you Portakal Hotel for that most enjoyable holiday, thank you to the staff from the cleaners to the owners, you were appreciated

Excellent hotel with lovely staff.
Excellent hotel. Facilities were pristine and well maintained. Rooms were comfortable and cleaned daily. Our 12 year old son was ill for 2-3 days and reception staff and housekeepers were very understanding and helpful. Breakfast was included and had a number of options for kids and adults. Pool and bar were very relaxing and friendly. All the staff were excellent but Eyup on reception was exceptional, I have never dealt with someone so friendly and willing to help while on holiday. Overall we had a fantastic time here and would highly recommend this hotel if staying in Dalyan.
Very tranquil setting
We have just enjoyed a lovely 8 nights at the Portakal, which I located on the edge of the Dalyan river โฆ so scenic and tranquil. The hotel is beautiful, and the staff go above and beyond to help. Our room was clean and spacious. Plenty of space around the pool and a lovely relaxing garden just across the road overlooking the river. Great selection at breakfast time and a menu offering variety at lunch time too. We also enjoyed some live music around the pool and bar one evening which was fun.
My only criticism is that I found it really disappointing that upon requesting a ground floor room after booking, we were informed that this would come at an additional cost. We travelled with an 8 month old baby and had to carry her pram and multiple bags up and down the stairs multiple times a day which was not ideal. I feel that families shouldnโt be expected to pay extra to have a more accessible stay.
