10/10 Exceptional
Jul 20, 2024
The Swan Lake hotel is a wonderful place to spend a week. It’s even better than it looks in the photos.
Up the hill from Semiliye village, it has a stunning view across the bay. The hotel restaurant/bar is open sided as you can sit in the sun or shade & enjoy the view while you eat.
If you’ve never tried a traditional Turkish breakfast, you’re in for a treat. We panicked on the first day, thinking we were expected to eat it all! It’s enough to keep you going until dinner. Home cooked evening meals of our choice were perfect on every occasion: I recommend the fresh fish, while you overlook the sunset.
Our bedroom & bathroom were huge & really stylish. Loads of storage space, & the air conditioning was a godsend. The bed itself was really comfortable so we slept brilliantly.
We spent half of our stay relaxing by the infinity pool with a few drinks from the bar. It was really clean & the garden around it is very well maintained: beautiful foliage helped us feel cooler even in 36 degree heat! Clean beach towels available when we wanted them too!
Muzo & his team could not do enough for us during our stay. It was too hot to walk up and down to the village (only 10 mins walk away but down a steep hill) & they happily provided a taxi service for us both ways, whenever we needed it.
He arranged everything for us: transport to & from Dalaman airport, a boat trip round the coast, beach club & trip to Marmaris.
We’ll definitely be back. Best holiday ever!! 10/10
