Datca Doris Hotel in Datca

Almost 300eur per room/day: but you cant have hot water in bathroom for your painful neck (painful neck: they take the towel away from you when you go to your room after swimming on a super windy day - no towels allowed in the rooms) and no tool whatsoever when you need a small needlework.

The pool is closed by 7pm.. yes 7 pm.

They also seem occupied the public beach thanks to their good relationship with the local authority.

Edited after hotel reply:
I was aware of the incident later in the day HOWEVER: In two days I needed hot water again (because you cant get rid of stiff neck that easily) in the morning: 9am-9:30am. And again no hot water. Later during the day it is availble, and it was availble on the incident day later. So the explanation given is invalid.

I totally believe that all paper work for the beach is done properly, but it doesnt mean righteous ;)

Towels: The guests who demand 3 times a day a new towel is the part the hotel should work on not to hold-up guests in the stormy wind and pick the towels up.

In a nutshell the hotel is desigened for the desires of the avaricious boss'.

The room and food were quite good, but the overall service fell short of expectations. During my stay, the bar was already closed by around 00:05, which was disappointing. After that time, you can’t get anything to drink — not even plain water. (In Turkey, most people avoid tap water and prefer bottled water.) I had to boil tap water and make tea just to avoid going to bed thirsty. Fortunately, there were some tea bags and instant coffee provided in the room.
There’s no 24-hour reception, and the beverages available at the bar weren’t cold enough either. Because of that, I would rate the service a 2 out of 5.

I gave a 3 for the location, mainly because there’s no open market nearby after midnight — and believe me, you might need one if you stay here. That said, the natural surroundings are beautiful, assuming you’re okay with resting under an umbrella and a few palm trees when it’s 40°C outside.

The room itself gets a 4: it was comfortable enough, even in the heat. But having just two 33cl bottles of still water in the minibar(!?) — and nothing else — is simply not enough for that temperature.

To me, the overall rating of a hotel should be determined by its weakest link. Unfortunately, despite its great potential and beautiful setting, this hotel only gets a 2 from me — because of the service.
