Lagoon Hotel

we stayed at Hotel lagoon for a week in October. The Holiday was an absolute bargain. we were asked which rooms we would like on arrival because it was quiet and so chose rooms overlooking the pool on the top floor. The rooms were basic and fine. They were 'spot' cleaned daily and had a more thorough clean/linen change every 3 days. The bathroom and shower are a bit outdated- bit of mildew (not smelly tho)- you need to realise the whole area has a lot of damp in its climate- esp in winter.
Pool area was excellent and kept clean/tidy all the time.Food was great- we ate evening meals there twice- service brilliant. nothing too much bother.we made friends with other visitors and the staff also.
Harkan the owner was friendly and helpful and his staff worked really hard (Teo+Rambo) to accommodate us with anything we needed as well as local history/good places to go.
Harkan always seemed to have a friend with a...private beach/boat/Turkish bath/ etc all for "just 10 English pounds"- it became our funny joke! the island boat trip was amazing and a bargain.
We were mostly treated with respect by the staff (4 single girls on holl!)and found them good humoured, respectful and not pushy- but we were hassled by 2 staff there as time went on for more!- not being great at handlling rejection caused some stroppiness initially, but it was OK. You also have to take on board what Turkish men will assume from seeing the hundreds of tourists and the 'states' many of them get in. We(esp female 'Brits') have a lot to answer for in some ways.
So, I do recommend the Hotel for anyone of any age. It was a fun and safe place to stay.friendly, cheap and easygoing.-You get what you pay for!. I would stay there again.

2star hotel i would give it more yes ur room basic we had the dungeon room 403 when i go back i want this room again no views as under the pool wall but table and chairs so u can sit out and chill.also a bit cooler as sun shines on the patio at tea time.made lots of freinds off all ages.just walk up steps ur in the pool area loveley and clean lots of sunbeds for size off hotel.breakfast simply turkish but if u want english 8 lera will bye u a fab brecky.suesy runs the bar area fab girl nothing to much trouble and shes english,teo looks after u with good food and snacks all day.there is a notice telling u not to bring ur own food and drink in hotel but in ur room they dont seem to mind,but dont spoil it by taking it round pool dont forget they r there to make a living to and a lot off hotels dont let u take water to ur rooms.if u roll ur own cigs remeber to take tabaco with u as u cant get it in turky only at the airport.it is ashort walk to town i dont like walking much and even i could manage it.lots off boat trips brill day out and cheap from 7 to 15 pounds with pick up and dinner .market on monday in hisaronu .dont forget to barter with them and check ur goods before u walk away .

I stayed in this hotel with my sister for a week. The hotel itself is in a good position and is close to the centre of things. The pool is large and there are plenty of sunbeds. The rooms are very basic and in need of repair but that was not too much of a problem as we only slept there. What was a problem, however, was the staffs attitude. We were constantly pestered by the waiters and even the manager. After we made it clear that we were not interested in going out to a club with them after they had finished work, they became very rude towards us so that we felt uncomfortable staying in the hotel.From what we could see, the staff were also allowed in the female guests rooms, something I've never encountered in a hotel before! The food here was not good and very repetative. The maid that cleaned our room was lovely, it's a shame the rest of the staff weren't!
I would definitely go back to Hisaronu but would not recommend this hotel.

This place is absolutly beautiful, i would highly recommend it to anybody who is thinking of going there. The owner and his family were absolutly amazing, they were so friendly and offered me any information i needed about the town! Id like to say a huge thank you to all the lagoon staff and il see you next year!!!!

This was our first time in Turkey and we were amazed at how clean, modern and efficient it was compared with, say, Greece or Spain. The people are so welcoming too!
Hisaronu is a brilliant mountainous resort with wide, pedestrianised roads (at night) for all manner of dining and entertainment without being loud and tacky - great for families and couples alike. The Lagoon Hotel was typical of many, with low-rise accommodation (nothing in Turkey seems to be above 3 floors) and a large pool surrounded by a wide, marbled pool side. The bar is welcoming and the the young staff can't do enough for you, including Turkish massage and a shave! The Hotel location is ideal too, being only 5 minutes from the extensive town centre but quiet enough to get a good night's sleep. It must be said, however, that the rooms are quite basic and hot water can be a bit hit or miss. The bedding is minimalist too. We would certainly go back to Hisaronu though as it is a great base for exploring the region and very relaxing!!

been going to hisaronu for last 13 years stayed in many different hotels loved this hotel last year booked again for this year but was really disapointed this time .was given a basement room like being in a dungeon ,room was really smelly everything felt damp especially the bed .electric switch hanging off wall,water dripped from room above .tried to swap rooms but was told hotel was full.disgusting sheets and towels breakfast was really poor even taking into account what turkish breakfast consists of .different manager from last year only really interested in any young girls he could flirt with still had a great holiday as usual but would never stay at this hotel again

We stayed at the Lagoon hotel from the 1st September 2008 for a week, we have been to Hisaronu before two years ago and stayed at the Marcan, and we couldnt wait to go back to this resort.
The hotel was amazing, very clean, rooms are basic with a balcony but we were only ever in our room to sleep and shower, we very extremely happy with the room which had lovely views over the mountains which you could watch the paragliders. The pool was a good size with plenty of sun beds so no need to get up at 6am just to put your towels on to reserve a bed, water polo was played a couple of times. Breakfast was nice, bread, jams, fruit, eggs etc. We had lunch every day at the hotel which was really nice from pizzas, salads, sandwiches etc which were very well priced,the bar staff were brilliant, the music was never played too loud and the staff never hasseled you, they were very polite and helpful. The locoation was the best, only a 5 min nice walk to the centre but far enough away to not here the night life etc.
The weather was fantastic very hot during the day and nice and cool in the evenning. We went to the beech just once this time, just because we were so happy and relaxed by the pool and we enjoyed spending our days here. There are a couple of posters in the hotel which states you can't bring in food or drink, but unlike the marcan your bags are never searched and no questions are ever asked when you walk past reception with carrier bags, so many people did buy water etc in the town and even at breakfast time some families brought orange juice and cereal from town but nothing was ever said to them, i brought a roll from the sea side and brought back and ate by the pool!!
Its a shame we only stayed for a week, next year my husband has promised me we can go for two weeks!! I would reccommend this hotel very highly, it is a very clean, safe, friendly, relaxing, fun hotel, we truly did have the best time thanks to the lagoon.

i went here in september 2007 with my baby, son of 4 and fiance.
i stayed for 14 nights and perhaps that was my first mistake. we were charged a fortune to stay in one room. all 4 of us were in the same room with practically all of the beds lined up near enough touching. the babies cot was actually wedged in between the bed and the wall. it was not very clean and i actually hated putting my 4 month old in a dirty cot.
there was no way of washing my baby as i couldnt very well get him in the shower. they lent me the smallest bowl int he world and i washed him in this.
the hot water had to be run for about 15 mins before hot water came through. we were offered air conditioning at a price of course and said no. the man at reception looked at us as though we wer crazy.... it was september and it gets quite cold at night. we did not need air con.
we needed a fridge for the baby and were charged a stupid price for this. we only booked it for one week and they left it in there for the second week so it is all good. the food became very repititive, which it will do on holiday but it wasnt high quality.
the toilet was utterly horrendous and was not ever cleaned properly. it was just so awful. to be crude ther was a flattened poo at the bottom of the bowl the entire time. i bought some bleach but it didnt shift.
i found the people round the hotel were nice but also could be quite sarcastic and rude in their own language. we ate at the hotel once in the evening and i wouldnt recommend it again. they had no customers so would not stop coming over and "chatting" to us... some of them were very rude while the younger ones were nice.
there are a group of children who hang around the pool and took my litle boys ball. we only discovered they had it when my partner was having a kick about with them and they got our ball out to play with because it was better... cheeky theiving brutes!
all in all we had a good time because we paid enough for it but it was not for the stay in the hotel all 4 of us squashed into a room smaller then my bedroom!
i also dropped my camera and needed a rep report and i have never met such a rude rep in my life. she had a go at me because i didnt come to the welcome meeting... i thought it was my holiday which i paid for myself and as i had been here on my own before i didnt need her being so rude. she truely was an awful lady
dont go here is my recommendation. hisaronu, olu deniz, fetiyhe and calis beach are gorgeous places but do not stay here... there are nicer places just up the road x

on arriving to lagoon we were very impressed with the surroundings and our suitcases where carried to our room.
when entering the room we where slightly disappointed as they are small and the bathroom had a small shower which we wasnt very keen on. but at the end of the day it is a 2* hotel. but going out of the hotel and looking around it was gorgeous! everything was amazing. met the cleaning lady and she was great made our room perfect in the end giving clean towels everyday and special surprise for us coming back to the room leaving flowers on the bed. This is the best holiday i have ever had, this was the first time going to turkey and i loved every minute of it. this is why me and my best friend are going back to lagoon in august this year. the staff are the best, anything you want they will do. Jamie who works there great guy, had such a laugh with him.
go to lagoon and i promise you, it will be a holiday to remember!

This Hotel Is One Of The Best Hotels In Feithye.We Have Been To Numerous Hotels In The Hisaronu Area,This Is Best By Far.The Rooms Are imaculate,the maid brings clean towels everyday and picks petals and Sets The Towels All Together In All Shapes, It Is Beautiful To Find On Your Bed,Absolute Delight.
The Rooms Were Basic But Very Comfortable And Big Enough.
The BreakFast Was Ok , with bread and different jams.Boiled Eggs,Melon,And Fruit And Tea.Went Down Well I No Its Only A Bed And Breakfast But They Also Serve All Day,With Fabulous Prices for lunch and dinner. The First Night We Had Dinner There And It Was Great,We Actually Prefered Eating There Then In The Town.
The Hotel Is Small But Sweet With The Right Number Of Staff And The Right Number Of People Staying There With In July-August 20-30 People There.Its Also Good Because Theres So Little People Staying You Know EveryOne There.
There Pool Area Is Clean Onced Used With A Beautiful Fountain In The Middle At Night Time and is also a good size
If Your Looking To Stay In Hisaronu This Is Your Best Choice.
