Asena Beach Hotel

“ Rooms have everything you need although the minifridge overpriced. We were facing the pool and entertainment stage so it got very noisy until about 12.30 am. Rooms cleaned daily with fresh towels and bed linen. The safe cost £2 daily but the aircon is free. All the staff were very friendly and helpful but failed to tell you the orange juice at breakfast was chargeable (around 7 lira). We had lots of fun on the free pool table and table tennis, ideal when it was raining as undercover.

“ Top Tip: If you want a treat there is a very good beauty therapist/hairstylist just adjacent from the pool bar called the Marcan hair and beauty (next to the Marcan Beach Hotel). April did a wonderful manicure and pedicure and I also had my eyebrows threaded, she was very talented.

“ Hotel is set in very nice grounds and rooms are comfortable and clean although a liitle basic but very good value. Great choice of food and staff were excellent. We thorougly enjoyed our stay and hotel is very central to the resort. For me the only downside was that the entertainment was very loud even though we were on the quiet side of the hotel and having young children that went to bed early it was a bit much some nights but if you are not planning on going to bed before midnight then it wouldnt be a problem

“ Top Tip: Boat trips are great, try the paragliding if you dare its fantastic, haggle for everything !!

“ Great hotel,very clean and excellent service.Two pools to lounge around,one very peaceful,the other geared towards families,so very nice to have the choice.

All staff were friendly and professional and the food very good in a lovely setting.

The beautiful beach at Olus Deniz was a couple of minutes stroll away and the Blue Lagoon Beach a lazy 15 min walk away,which is breathtaking.

Highly recommended.

“ Top Tip: The Blue Lagoon Beach is a must see with its enticing turquoise water and gob smacking back drop.

“ The hotel is lovely, spotlessly clean and maintained to a high standard. The half board buffet option is excellent and the service friendly and not overbearing. There are 3 pools in total a large main pool, a smaller kiddies pool nearby and another quieter small pool located at the back of the hotel which we didnt notice until day 5. The entertainment is diverse and there is a good play area for smaller children with childminder facilities, a pool table and ping pong table under cover, which are not charged for. The hotel is very centrally located just off the main strip and a 5 minute walk to the beach. The beach is quite gravelly. The beautiful blue lagoon is a 20 minute walk from the hotel along the beachfront and makes a nice peaceful haven to spend the day. There is plenty to do in the area with all sorts of trips available, paragliding being very popular.
The only negative about this hotel is that because it is just off the main strip it can be incredibly noisy until the early hours. After 3 nights we asked to be moved to a quieter side of the hotel as our first rooms were so close to the strip that we may as well have tried to kip under one of the tables in the nearby karaoke bar - it was that noisy, doubled up with the noise from the pool bar on the other side of us until 2-3 in the morning. Also no top sheet was provided on the beds, just a waffle type bed throw that reached barely to the edges of the bed and a blanket. This offered no protection and barely any cover from the mozzies. I have never experienced this at any hotel I have stayed at and am not sure of the reason for this other than to think they are trying to cut down on laundry? Either take your own sheet or do what we did and pilfer one from the maids store and hide it away each day so it doesnt disappear!
Other than these couple of issues I would definitely recomend this hotel to family and friends, and would not hesitate spending time here as a lone female traveler. Oludeniz is in a beautiful setting and all in all we had a fab time.
