Palme Hotel

Only stayed in this hotel for 3 hours due to us arriving at 6am and not having anywhere else to go to after seeing the state of the hotel!
The room looked like it had not been cleaned for a month or 2. The sheets on the bed were threadbare. You didnt dare put your head down on the pillow. We opended the bathroom door and closed it just as fast.
The pool area was disgusting. The green algae gave the pool a lovely green glow, which was just as well as the pool lights had been pulled out and wires were laid @ the side of the pool. Also if you were bored you could of dived in the pool and read the magazines that were laid at the bottom of the pool! We were told this would be fixed the next day...but when we walked past 2 weeks later it was exactly the same.
The holiday rep just happended to be the hotel owner/manager...how does that happen???
AVOID AT ALL COSTS!!!!!!

My boyfriend and I booked this as a last minute holiday. We didn’t know what to expect having only found a couple of reviews that didn’t paint a pleasant picture of the Palme.
On the coach transfer we were dropped of with two other couples 15 minutes into the journey and picked up in a mini van driven by one of the staff who was extremely friendly on a further 10 minute drive to the hotel. Arriving at the hotel we were greeted by the manager who was also very pleasant.
First impressions we good the pool and pool area was very clean and tidy and all staff we very friendly and helpful. On our first night we were given a twin room however after being very apologetic they we soon to move us to a larger double room on the following evening. The room was basic and small but clean though we didn’t spend much time in it.
The hotel was in an ideal location as it was set off the main road and was a short walk to the river and town centre, where everything that you would need during your stay in Dalayan. Many of the locals were friendly and English specking making it a lot easier to communicate with them.
The only down sides to this hotel were that the gardens were very poorly maintained meaning that we were unable to us it throughout the our stay. All the balconies were rusty to meaning that it marked our clothes whilst drying.
Also our tour operator ‘Gold Trail’ didn’t give us the opportunity to have a welcome meeting or any sort of contact with a rep though the staff were more than willing to help answer any questions or recommend places visit.
Over all although we didn’t expect much from the hotel we were pleasantly surprised, the hotel itself wasn’t great however the staff and location made it an excellent place to stay.

We stayed in the Hotel Palme for one night only - thankfully!
This was part of an excursion planned at the end of our holiday in Icmeler.
Upon arrival we were shown to our tiny room which had a stench of what can only be described as raw sewage. There were sqashed bugs on the walls, dirty sheets, faulty sockets, and the toilet seat was covered in a dirty plaster type substance.
The bathroom also doubled as a walk in shower - by shower I mean a hose on a bracket. There was also a port hole in the bathroom covered in spiders webs and more stuck on creatures. Also we had managed to escape the infamous mosquito before sleeping in this sestpit.
We were "half board" our dinner consisted of HALF a chicken breast and local sludge like veg and the bar was extortionate!
The rooms all surrounded the pool in a two tier format and so all noise from the bar area was echoed throughout keeping everyone awake. The staff who were responsible for this din were very nonchalant about the whole affair.
Access to the Hotel is via a lane which our coach could not access. This was ok during the day however very dark at night.
We were disgusted by our experience at this establishment and are awaiting a reply to our complaint however we wont hold our breath!
On the plus side Dalyan was a small resort with lovely bars and a relaxing atmosphere, a very pleasant area to visit - just pick a different hotel!
