Clean friendly place in Dalaman town centre.
Simple clean place for an airport stopover, you wouldn't linger.
Great inclusive resort, perched on a steep hill but plenty of transport.
Good resort hotel near beach activities.
Top marks for comfort, service and dining.
Great reviews for this TUI resort hotel.
Comfy enough, some facilities tired-looking.
At these prices it had better be good, and guests reckon it's worth it.
Boxy place on the highway for an airport stopover.
