Loryma Resort Hotel

We originally booked Loryma Resort for 7 nights, but quite simply we weren’t ready to leave! We ended up extending our stay to 11 nights, which probably says everything about how much we enjoyed our time here.

The setting is absolutely beautiful. The views across Turunç Bay and the surrounding mountains are breathtaking, and there’s a wonderfully peaceful, relaxed atmosphere throughout the resort. It feels a world away from the big, busy package holiday hotels, while still having plenty to keep the whole family occupied.

What really made our stay, though, were the people. Every member of staff we encountered was incredibly friendly, patient and helpful. A special mention has to go to Fatma and İlknur on reception, who were always smiling and couldn’t have been more helpful throughout our stay.

We also have to give a huge thank you to Eren, the sports instructor. He was absolutely brilliant with our children. We did kayaking, climbing and football with him, and there were plenty of other activities available too. He was enthusiastic, patient and genuinely great fun with the kids – they absolutely loved him.

Another absolute highlight was the boat trip with Emiliano, which we booked through reception. There were only 10 guests on the boat, which made for such a comfortable and relaxing day. We saw other boat trips advertised down in Turunç for a little less money, but some of those take up to 30 people and, having experienced Emiliano’s trip, we were very glad we chose this one. There was plenty of room to relax, beautiful stops along the way and a fantastic BBQ lunch. It was easily one of our favourite days of the holiday and we’d thoroughly recommend booking it.

Breakfast was another highlight. The freshly cooked omelettes every morning were lovely, along with a really good selection of fresh food to start the day.

Both pools were great in different ways. The outdoor pool was brilliant fun for the whole family, while the indoor pool was perfect when we wanted to escape the heat and cool off for a while.

Although Loryma sits above Turunç, getting into the village is very easy. Taxis arrive quickly and are reasonably priced. We also hired a little tuk-tuk for a few days, which was great fun and gave us the freedom to come and go whenever we wanted… although it did struggle a little with that final climb back up the hill! 😂

And the hill is worth mentioning because it’s precisely why the views from Loryma are so spectacular. Sitting up above the bay, particularly towards the end of the day, is just beautiful.

Perhaps the nicest surprise of the whole holiday was the atmosphere and the people we met. We met so many lovely people and like-minded families during our stay, and there was a genuinely friendly, relaxed feel around the resort. The children made friends, we made friends, and it became one of those holidays where you very quickly settle into a rhythm and feel completely at home.

There is something about Loryma that is difficult to capture in a review. It has a lovely calmness to it. You can spend the day relaxing by the pool looking out over the Aegean, head out on the water, join in with the activities, wander into Turunç or simply do very little at all.

The service, the views, the atmosphere and, above all, the people were genuinely five-star for us.

We arrived expecting a seven-night holiday and eventually had to drag ourselves away after 11 nights!

A truly special holiday at a truly special resort. We would return in a heartbeat – and we definitely plan to.

Thank you to everyone at Loryma for some wonderful memories. ❤️

Just returned from 10 nights here. WOW !!!! 🤩 What an absolute gem of a place ! We can honestly not fault this hotel. We had a wonderful stay from.start to finish

The staff were incredibly friendly, welcoming and hardworking !!! 👏 👏 👏 Always happy to help with anything we needed. The hotel was spotless throughout with everything kept clean and tidy. Maids visited the rooms alternate days.

We stayed in a spacious 2 bedroom suite which was perfect for our family. Both bedrooms had fantastic air-conditioning and a ceiling fan in the main lounge. We asked for a Standing fan in the lounge too which was brought to us the same day. Fantastic ! The views from the balcony was breath taking ! WOW !

Don't let the distance to the beach put you off. A free shuttle bus from the hotel runs between the hours of 10am & 5pm making it really easy to get back and forth. In the evenings taxis were readily available for just 300 Lira to Turunc

We spent many days at the beautiful Turunc Beach. 'CAN' restaurant on the front was our favourite ! We also visited Amos and Kumlubuk beaches which were absolutely spectacular ! The crystal.clear waters were stunning and definately worth a visit!

One of the things we loved most about the hotel was that no one reserved sunbeds. The pool and gym opened at 8am and at that time you could have the pick of any sunbeds. I've seen reviews where a few had commented there were a lack of beds. This wasn't our experience. There were extra sunbeds piled high at the side of the pool in the corner. The pool never felt over crowded in a morning or afternoon. There were always surplus beds stacked at the side of the pool

Overall this hotel exceeded our expectations. It was clean, comfortable, peaceful and had fantastic staff in every department. We wouldn't hesitate to.stay here again and highly recommend this wonderful resort. I can understand why people return here again and again !

Well done Loryma Resort ! Each and everyone of you deserve credit !
