Wonderful and idyllic location a few kilometres from the pretty small town of Gocek. Dalya Life Hotel is set right in among the forest and has beautiful maintained gardens. It has a charming little stream (complete with rowing boats) and most important has a number of turtles and fish which I fed every day. The staff are really helpful but unobtrusive ie they don't bother you. They even drove me to a localish beach at a charge much less than a taxi would have cost. It is a small family business and has the feeling of being part of their home. Really liked the menu. I'd particularly recommend visiting in October as temperature was perfect (for me) and also just a handful of people. I will return and have recommended it to many friends. G

This was my second stay here, and I'm still in love with it😍! The nature, gardens, trees, pool, suite, and the amazingly friendly and kind staff were all marvelous! There are a few things that could use some improvement. Firstly, the shower leaks, so the bathroom floor gets wet after every use. Secondly, while the breakfast was delicious and everything was of top quality, it could be a bit more varied (although I still enjoyed it!😋). Lastly, the Wi-Fi only worked when we were close to the bar and reception area, so there was no internet in our rooms. However, I found this situation to be somewhat good in some instances, as it allowed me to disconnect from the rest of the world, look around, enjoy the beautiful nature, and simply relax

This was such a pretty property and the owner was very kind, but unfortunately I wouldn't return. While the room was fairly clean the sheets were filthy and the one thin, dirty sheet on the bed didn't fit the bed so I ended up sleeping much of the night on a dirty mattress. The TV didn't work and after the staff moved me to another room they then moved me back into the original room when they were able to get one channel to function - although I couldn't turn the TV off and then back on again if I still wanted to get a picture. The shower didn't drain (at all) so I ended up sponging off in the sink. The pool was pretty but far too cold to swim in. My dinner was terrible which made it less upsetting when the owner's dog stole my fish right off the table. I went to bed hungry rather than try and hassle with the situation. Luckily I was only staying one night but might otherwise have checked out early to find a more comfortable location.

It’s beautiful and peaceful. Staff was friendly and helpful. The grounds and the rooms make you feel like you are staying in a garden. For and drinks great. Pool is beautiful and set next to a stream. So lovely. I’d love to have a family event there. Highly recommended.

Good bang for buck
Spent only a night as I was flying out of DLM kn the early AM. Seemed like a nice place to stay in for longer periods. A wide selection of fruit trees surround the rooms and pool. The place is located 15 min drive from the airport and 10 min drive from the center of food and shopping.

Hidden oasis!
A beautiful hidden gem, initially chosen due to its proximity to Dalaman airport, but we liked it so much we extended our stay. Lush gardens, simple comfortable rooms, nice clean pool, freshly cooked food available all day. Highly recommend for relaxation away from the hordes along the coast!

Good hotel but needs some enhancements
Nice surroundings and a nice area. Rooms very dated and small. Breakfast was not the best, basic with small variety. Recommended if you want a quite secluded area.

Turkish idyll
Last minute booking for a week away in the sun and couldn't have wished for anything nicer! Easy drive from the airport and friendly reception on late night arrival. The room at first seemed a little disappointing, however it was really just very traditional Turkish furnishing...the bathroom was very modern, excellent air conditioning and very useful little fridge and kettle. Outside was stunning: fabulous pool, lush gardens and lovely eating/drinking/relaxing places next to the river. Lots of wildlife to watch and a little boat to take a short trip up the river if desired! We just loved it here - maybe not everyone's cup of tea, but certainly somewhere we would return to for total relaxation!

Very pleasant setting
Worth staying here for a night or 2. We arrived in the dark and left before it got light, but, from what we could make out the cabin-style rooms are set in lovely surroundings. The owner/manager (?) Was extremely helpful and the room was fine and good value. The bathroom was good, with a plentiful shower. There was also A/c and a heater, which we needed as it was cold outside. Room itself was in need of a little tlc - a simple thing like replacing the faded and old fashioned picture above the bed would help. The linen was also rather basic! There was a fridge though, although it didn't seem to be working when we put the sandwiches in we were brought as we had to leave before breakfast was served. This was a nice place to stay overnight and I think would be a very relaxing environment in which to stay longer

I stayed in this hotel to catch my early flight from Dalaman. The lady in the reception was extremely helpful and friendly. The garden was well kept and the room was very well decorated. I will recommended this hotel to anyone who wants to spend a quite but comfortable time in the middle of natura

Fantastic hotel - grounds wonderful
Wonderful hotel and very friendly and helpful staff. Came across hotel by accident - was looking for an overnight close to Dalaman Airport - and so glad we picked Dalya Life. A bit further form the airport than I thought but better for that. The lake with boating and turtles exceptional. Definitely be back

No room at the hotel.
Do not know what Dalya Life was like as we were transferred to another hotel - Mesken - at very short notice as the Dalya Life has overbooked!!! The Mesken was fine but I was not happy with the Dalya Life for the inconvenience. We had booked the hotel through Hotels.com many months previously. No compensation from the hotel.

Beautiful peaceful location.
Looks are very deceiving with this Hotel. You may think you've just arrived to a basic hotel in the middle of nowhere, but the grounds to this place is stunning! If you want a place where you can just unwind and relax then this is the perfect spot.

Very nice, scenic and peaceful Chalet property
you cannot go wrong by booking this place. individual Chalets that give you your own space. Nice setting and amazing landscape maintained to a high standard. Conveniently located between Dalaman and Gocek. just off the D400 highway. you take a immediate right after the M Oil gas station and bear right. Follow that road for about 1.5Km. staff are amazing and friendly. Will go back again!

Lovely oasis surrounded by nature but not perfect
The place was very cosy, friendly and had a great feeling of being in nature and tranquillity. The room, however, was rather basic and the pillows were so hard they gave us very neck ache which spoiled it for us. The bathroom was basic but clean.

Perfect place for relaxing
Perfect rural location. So peaceful and relaxing. Room simple with an extremely comfortable bed. Very modern bathroom with huge shower. Clean towels and sheets every other day. Traditional Turkish breakfast with free range eggs provided by the hens on site. Hakan is a perfect host and nothing is too much trouble. Free shuttle into Gocek provided twice a day. Overall a perfect place to stay to appreciate the real Turkey yet just 10 minuties drive away for everything else you might need

Isolated location great in fine weather
We arrived on a dark and wet evening, not the best first impression. Our room was tired and basic. No hot water as it is solar heated. Location is possibly great in good weather but pouring rain the next day resulted in us not seeing it at its best. SAtaff very friendly and helpful.

Cross between camp ground, motel and cabins
I needed a place close to Dalaman airport, so it worked out ok - was only there for 8 hours. Bed a bit low and hard. Only one towel. Staff was great and made up for any shortcoming - very friendly, good food.
