Lycian Apartment Hisaronu Turkey - Holiday Vacation Rentals

Lycian apartment (lycian complex) Hisaronu. Turkey G.Walmsley (43) J.Walmsley (43) L.Haslam (10) Travelled 4th July 2005 14 nights. First of all a big thank-you to Lisa & Neil for making available this fabulous apartment. From walking out of Dalaman airport we were greeted by a staff member from the the Lycian complex and taken to the resort of Hisaronu in their own air conditioned mini-bus. After about 50 mins travelling we arrived at the Lycian and were greeted by Terri and the staff and or luggage promptly taken to the apartment. Wow, I must say the pictures in the brochure look great but you have to be there to fully appreciate the the luxury and location of this apartment. View from the apartment When first walking into the apartment you are over whelmed by the size of the place. Living area / kitchen Huge with two double bed settees full size T.V, DVD player & Satellite. Full kitchen plus washing machine & everything you could need & more. Double glazed door leading to a very large balcony with table & four chairs (view as above). Master bedroom Full size double bed, dressing table / mirror, ample storage, double wardrobe, drawers, bedside cabinets etc. Another double bed settee (should you need it). Another double glazed door leading to another very large balcony with a smaller table + two chairs. For security / privacy all doors have locks fitted. Second bedroom 2 x two bunk beds (making four single beds), double wardrobe drawers + table. Bathroom unlike most hotels (where you sit on the toilet with one foot in the shower) this bathroom is very large with everything spaced out conveniently, shower cubicle with double screen . large basin with shaver point, mirror etc. Overall the apartment can house 6 people comfy (8 if you know each other well) it is a joy to stay in and it’s air conditioned with a steel front door and a lock system Houdini wouldn’t break. It is Home from Home. Lycian complex & Hisaronu. This was our third time in Hisaronu, for years we went to Icmeler / Marmaris, but we like Hisaronu better. The Lycian complex is one of the best examples of Turkish hospitality. Over the holiday you get to know all the staff who can’t do enough the make you holiday the best. One big advantage of staying in this apartment is the 20 percent discount card you get to spend at the Lycian restaurants & bars. Think about it, one fifth off you bill (over two week it’s a lot). Three fabulous restaurants, English Rose (English), Mamma Mia’s (Italian) Shine (Indian) Note: one night we came back at 11:30pm to dine at the Indian we had just missed out it had been closed 10 minutes. We told them we would see them tomorrow then to our surprise he reopened the restaurant, lights on, staff back in the kitchen, for three of us (where else?) The Lycian bar at the front of the complex is a very vibrant bar serving cocktails and entertaining to the small hours of the morning (please note that although the apartment is very close to the entertainment you can hear a pin drop in the apartment) The nightlife in Hisaronu is very varied from Afrescos bar playing 50s / 60s music to the club atmosphere of Zombies (I’ve been a dj for 27 years trust me). During the day a mixture of pool / beach. The pool is a large size and because of the amount of apartments uncrowded with ample sun beds, parasols; Shallow 3 ft to the left, 6 ft shelf in the middle to 8ft+ to the right, there is also a shallow children’s pool, a pool bar serving drinks & food from the restaurants all day. The beach is about 10 minutes away in ol deniz, get to it by dolmus (mini-bus) or taxi (both outside complex) or as we prefer go to the Lagoon (Billy’s beach) we ring him up and Billy collects us from the complex then when we want returns us free of charge, only condition is to hire his sun beds & parasol @4 tl each for the day (peanuts) and the prices of drinks and food are the same as anywhere. Days out we did this year Jeep safari is a must, pick up @ 8:00am drop off @ 19:30 Ł12 quid for all day plus lunch. Also 12 islands boat trip from fethyie 10:30 pick up drop off 18:30 Ł7.00 plus lunch. When we stayed in Hisaronu 12 other family members were staying at the Pine hills Hotel Neighbours were staying at the Ata hotel and other friends of our were staying at the Tellemosos, Last year I stayed at the Destan Hotel, Asena village Resort & the Blue pearl Hotel, all of these people over the two week came and saw the apartment and was very impressed (and jealous). If you have any questions about this apartment or Hisaronu I’ll be happy to help.
