DOBEDAN EXCLUSIVE HOTEL & SPA

It is a nice 5* hotel with a real ultra all inclusive, namely, imported original alcohol. Tip: always ask for specific brand of a drink, such as Red Label instead of just whisky or Olmeca instead of tekila. Service in the Deluxe restaurant - excelent, food was very delicious, in particular beef and lamb, although fish was mainly overgrilled, but this might be related to sanitary requirements. We loved Deluxe building, clean and cozy room, super comfy bed, good sound isolation. In the territory of the hotel the bars are all around (pool, beach, lobbies etc.), not too crowded in the end of October, professional evening performances. It's been bit chilly at night (+11 C), the sea +23+24 C. Beach - recomendation to have swimming shoes. Great location if you would like to shop some gifts, in particular local ("branded") Tshirts and other textile, turkish delights. We also loved that there was in the same market nearby a nice old lady pressing fresh pomegranate juice (EUR 1 per glass), went there every evening. There was a possibility to book a pavillion in the beach (first line EUR 120, further lines each -10 EUR, in total 4 lines). Generally we had a nice relaxed holidays and bit of the summer prior to winter. Sincere thanks to the hotel team!

Our stay at Dobedan was truly exceptional. The high level of organization and the exceptional care provided by the Kids Club staff made our vacation truly memorable. Our child absolutely adored the Kids Club and the dedicated staff members, David, Vika, Katya, and Masha. They were incredibly kind and attentive, ensuring our child was always engaged and happy. This allowed us to relax and enjoy our time by the beach or pool without any worries. The services at Dobedan were top-notch. The food, drinks, and entertainment options were fantastic. Having visited Turkey before, we can confidently recommend Dobedan to anyone seeking a fantastic vacation experience. One small suggestion we have is to consider improving the Kids Club's infrastructure to better withstand light rain. A minor renovation could help keep the space dry and comfortable, even during unexpected weather conditions.

Eardum transplants may be necessary if you survive the boom boom boom of the demented DJ at the pool. But the beach is quiet and beautiful, especially if you rent a cabana, and there are non stop drinks and food to be had. It proved to be the perfect place for a family reunion of 20 people, ages from 13 to 80. The staff was wonderfully accomodating. The resort is huge and it took a day or two to figure out which building we were in. The beach resort might have been in Cancun or St. Maarten except that the entire Turkish staff spoke Russian - it being popular with Russians and other East Europeans. English was also readily spoken. Buffet food was good considering it was supplying so many guests.

I will start by saying that this was a great experience for us (family of 2 + 2 kids below 10 years of age), as the hotel covers anybody's needs. We were welcomed in a somewhat separate area, connected by a bridge to the main building and pool areas. This separate building is more luxurious at first glance, more quiet and has separate restaurant (for breakfast and dinner, if you want to avoid the more crowded main restaurant), separate pool, patisserie and a big bar. The resort had many bars (even a sports bar where we watched Euro 24 games), has many pools, great beach area and waterslides for kids and for adults. You can't get bored, thirsty, or hungry, as you have everything everywhere (starbucks, snacks, ice cream, cocktails, etc.). The food is varied and delicious and the drinks give you a wide choice (many imported quality drinks). You have a lot of daily activities like water polo, archery, volleyball, football) and evening shows are great. If there is one negative thing that I would mention, is that this is the most pro-Russian hotel I have ever seen. I have been in more than 10 hotels in Turkey, I know that russians are in big numbers there, but Dobedan was created solely for russians - russian reception, russian activity crew, russian bartenders and waiters...you could barely find a Turkish staff. Their service is great, so I have nothing bad to say. You just have to accept that you won't be doing too much English talking around the resort - during our 8 days stay, we only encountered 3 Romanian families and one Arab family - the rest, russian speakers. Anyway, overall, amazing time, great hotel, would recommend anyone to try it.

This resort is the best place we've ever visited. Every day we discover something new and unique. The cleanliness is at a high level, the food is top-notch, and so are the drinks. Overall, the all-inclusive is excellent. There's plenty of staff who take care of the guests' comfort. We are three families with children, and everyone is impressed. The evening shows are also unique. We're still here, and we'll return next year with even more families. I highly recommend it!
