We were a little out of season (early November). I really liked it. The kitchen is wonderful. There were always free tables in the restaurant. The cuisine is quite diverse, very tasty. The room was not bad. There was a problem with the bathroom door - it was fixed the same day. Someone had difficulty getting extra blankets - but we just went to the reception a couple of times, reminded them and brought them right in the evening on a scooter. Cleaning, to be honest, was not the best and not every day. Good and unobtrusive animation. There are performances every day in the evenings. Naturally, it should be borne in mind that in November and the sea, the water in the pool is not the warmest. But we swam there and there. 2 pools, one just a bowl, the second with slides and plus a paddling pool. There are several chain grocery stores in the village, and a bazaar is a 15-minute walk away. There are transfers to Didim, free of charge, but only to the leather/fur store. And from there you go where you need to go.
A wonderful hotel with polite, good-natured staff, delicious varied food and the most beautiful sunsets 🤍
Cats and dogs that are absolutely non-aggressive and contact walk quietly around the territory. The rooms are cleaned every day (but not perfectly), towels and linen are changed daily; the territory also looks neat and clean. All the guys from the staff are smiling, ready to help with any question, but not everyone speaks English so that you can clearly convey this question the first time 😅
Hotel 8/10
Positive:
- the most beautiful sunsets
- delicious varied food
- excellent rooms with sea views
- daily cleaning (no complaints)
- well-maintained territory
- good alcohol in bars (not locally bottled)
- there are slides in the pool
- show program/live music/ discos
- constantly clean the coastline from algae
- close to Didim (the opportunity to visit the temple of Apollo on your own)
- near the market (15 minutes walk from the hotel)
Minuses:
- the minibar is changed once, the subsequent times are paid, for the first time we encountered this at the UAl hotel -
Turks, British, Czechs, Poles mostly rest in the hotel ... (about 10% of Russians there) for someone this is a plus, for us it was a minus since all the staff speaks only English…
At first, you're even OK, and you seem to understand everything, but when it comes to explaining the problem / situation, stupor, not understanding
- Anex guides will insist on an excursion to Ephesus, we went, Ephesus is beautiful, but the tour did not meet expectations. We were given an hour and a half of time for shopping, and 20 minutes for sightseeing (((( also in summer there are simply huge crowds of people in Ephesus, it is better to visit such places during the non-tourist season
- some photos on the hotel's website indicated an equipped pier with sun beds, there were false expectations that this was the case. In fact, there is a pier, but it is not equipped, there is a rusty ladder into the water, you can jump, but it is not completely safe
I was vacationing with a friend in October 2024, in principle, I liked everything. The food is delicious and varied, and there are several types of fish (although they do not know how to cook it) and meat (chicken, beef and lamb). The territory of the hotel is relatively large, there is somewhere to walk, there is nothing to see outside the territory, you have to go to Didim in 15 minutes. The staff is smiling and friendly, but they don't speak Russian, and since we don't speak English, we communicated through an interpreter (app). The room was cleaned every day, towels were changed every day, bed linen was changed 2 times in 7 days (well done). The beach is relatively large, there were enough excuses for everyone. The sea is gorgeous. The only drawback is a large number of dogs and cats (cats are okay, harmless), and dogs gather in a pack and walk around the hotel, as it is not very pleasant.
it's just a fantastic hotel
, we settled right in the first houses)
very clean and cozy rooms!
friendly and smiling staff, delicious cuisine,
good alcohol with a good selection, and everything is very clean
. We will definitely come back here a second time
I liked everything very much.
Clean, well-maintained territory. Room cleaning every day, as well as a change of towels.
Animation every day.
The dishes are varied, the bar is also not bad.
All the staff are very friendly and open.
I recommend.
Very nice hotel! A large area, a lot of flowers, sandy beach, entrance and the sea is good
Near the market, grocery store, national park, stop to go to the city
The food was amazing!
Nice hotel , the sea is super , the entrance is fine sand . There are two pools, one with water slides. The food is delicious. Of the disadvantages, the rooms were rarely cleaned . Old room stock) . In general, I liked everything. The staff does not speak Russian , the vacationers are mostly Europeans. 20-30 percent of Russians.
I really liked the hotel. The territory is huge and well maintained. There is something to do. Beautiful houses. Delicious food. A very interesting evening program. There are a lot of active leisure activities.
I try to look for only the pros on vacation, but our vacation started with the cons. We were accommodated in 581 rooms (1st floor) . A standard room, like most others in this hotel, but we were lucky, we were checked into a room after a leak, when we entered the room there was a very strong musty smell. The bathroom door handle was just broken, the TV and air conditioner just wouldn't turn on. When we arrived at the reception desk, we were told that there were no empty seats. It seems to me that when a hotel positions itself at 5 stars, it is not acceptable. Our room was changed only at 2 p.m. the next day. When you have an 8-day tour, the first day you just fly, and you check in only at 20:30 (the first day has passed), and you leave for the airport at 2:30 a.m. (the eighth day), you really appreciate all your free time. We were fed a promise to change the room from 8:00 a.m. and only changed at 2:00 p.m.
Nice hotel, delicious food, amazing grounds, we had a wonderful vacation!
Why is the score 4 and not 5?
1. Cocktails at the bar disappointed me with their inexpensive ingredients,
2. Room cleaning for 3....
3. There are no normal shops and tour offers nearby.
For those who will go, I recommend:
1. Go along the fortress wall behind the cape and you will find there a concrete pier opposite the cottages, there is amazingly clear water,
2. You can take a local minibus for 15 lire to the temple of Apollo, admission costs 6 euros per person and wander there. A photo shoot can be bombed.
3. In telegrams, you can find the Russian-speaking Didim group and find information on the ferry schedule from Didim to Bodrum and also travel independently.
4. In the cafe on the territory, a very pleasant, intelligent, young man barista makes beautiful and delicious coffee!
In general, I recommend the hotel, the vacation was a success!
A wonderful place! A nice cozy hotel with a gorgeous landscape. The cuisine is varied and delicious. Clean rooms, daily cleaning. A clean beach with good access to the sea!!!
Great sunsets, beautiful views, clear sea, but there are disadvantages and this, the lack of nearby shops, nothing to do in the evening and sad about it. The village, as a village, is removed from the tourist life, it is boring, for the elderly it will only do.

It was our first trip abroad, the hotel was searched for a long time and carefully. And they did not lose. Lucas is a family-run, quiet hotel.
I'll write to the police. The staff adores children, the attitude is above all praise. The food was fine, someone would write monotonously, but we had enough variety. The most important thing is delicious. Ice cream, fries, burgers, pizza-the children are delighted.
There are 3+ pools for children, there are slides.
Lots of animations for kids + adults aqua aerobics, yoga, tennis, chess, water polo, etc.
The lobby bar is 24-hour, for drinkers. The sea is the purest.
A room with a sea view, in the morning with a cup of coffee, it's divine. There are dogs on site, friendly and all chipped. I recommend this hotel if you eat to relax, and not buzz until the morning)))
Special thanks to the staff, I won't remember all the names Erai, Eren, Filat, Gul, Abdullah and everyone else, your work is priceless and you are the best. Thank you very much for a wonderful stay at your hotel❤❤❤
Regarding the cleaning, everything is fine, maybe it depends on the person, someone is going to rest, and someone is evaluating the cleaning))) The room is cleaned daily.
The only thing that fits under five stars is the kitchen. And while there were a lot of British there. As soon as most English speakers left, the menu was immediately reduced. A la carte restaurants, just hype and pathos. The rooms have a maximum of three stars. The representative of the Anox tour, (Bayram) does not speak at all. He can't really tell you anything. It promises a lot, but in the end everything is false. A big plus for the animators, they didn't let them get bored in the evenings. The service is 3+ and that's thanks to some bartenders. Well, the territory is also nothing, but in the rooms you can hear not only how the neighbors have sex, but also how they go to the potty.)))
We've been to this hotel twice, I'll tell you right away how:
There is no blanket in the room as such by default, a Russian person will be cold at night, so you can immediately ask the reception to bring a blanket to the room, even through a translator, write, they will understand and bring blankets for everyone. Wi-Fi works perfectly almost everywhere.
You can ask to move to a room with a sea view, although it is visible from almost every room there)
The bed is very hard, the bottom is made of chipboard, so if you feel as uncomfortable at night as I do, put the mattress on the floor, you really sleep better than on this board (this is important for regular rooms, and family rooms have very good beds)
On my first trip to the hotel, I went with a laptop that didn't fit in the safe, so it was in my backpack for 2 weeks in my room and nothing happened to it.
At the bar, in principle, you can ask to mix any cocktail from the available ingredients!)
It's good to sunbathe by the pool in the morning (facing the sun), and at lunch you can go to the sea (along the line from sunrise to sunset, so to speak)
The first line by the sea in calm weather is occupied during breakfast.
Greece is visible on the opposite shore)
A huge plus is the sunset right in the sea opposite the beach, very beautiful.
You can take 1 bus to the city to shop (check at the reception if the bus numbers have been changed), Buses run until 12 at night, and you can have a night soup for dinner. I recommend the waikiki store. There is an acceptable price for souvenirs and olives, tea, etc. at the market within walking distance. You can track the road either using the navigator without the Internet, or in the application. maps.me by pre-downloading the map of the region .
I recommend a hot air balloon tour over Pamukkale, check out at night, but it's worth it. And an excursion to the turtles.
The food at the hotel is good, you can find something to your liking. We hardly went to lunch, as there was a snack bar next to the beach.
Be careful on water slides, an adult can tear a swimsuit (blue slide).
There is also a beautiful Orman Kampı Plajı park with pine trees within walking distance, and if you face the sea on the right, it is also beautiful to meet the sunset there.
There is a kids' club for children, and a children's disco is held every day after dinner. And then there are adult shows that change, every 7 days they are different.
I recommend the fish restaurant, if you are going for 2 weeks, you can go twice.
If you check out of the hotel in the evening, you can leave your belongings at the reception, and swim after the sea at the massage facility.
Beach towels are changed only in the evening.
Room cleaning is often a problem. They can leave 2 clean towels for three visitors. The floor in the room is rarely washed, alas. The bed linen is also not changed much. Cleaning is a disadvantage of this hotel.
As it is, the territory of the hotel is very beautiful and the rest there is excellent.
There are really a lot of cats and dogs on the territory, as we found out, the hotel feeds dogs to scare away wild boars that are found in the nature of Turkey, we really have never seen them.
If there is wind, there are algae in the sea, they are removed from the shore in the morning. We stayed two years in a row in September for 2 weeks, we liked it (2 adults and a child)
I think we'll go there for the third time.
The most gorgeous place 👍 Perhaps this is what paradise looks like)
The staff is friendly and helpful. The food is excellent, the service is excellent, The sea is warm, the water is clean.
With obvious disadvantages, I'm still 5 out of 5 to the hotel. I am writing a review from the hotel. A beautiful reception with statues of ancient gods, cute Greek-style houses for vacationers with a thoughtful design inside, with comfortable beds and a good bathroom. node (shower, not bathroom). Everything is updated as if it had just been updated. I will also list the disadvantages, but they are not critical for me: high audibility in the rooms (although Russians are settled separately from everyone on the 1st line by the sea far from discos), there are a lot of unattended pets on the territory (I love everyone, dogs are even chipped, but it's really not comfortable), there are a lot of sun beds, but the best places are occupied, apparently, for weeks - towels have not been removed since the night. Russians are about a third of the vacationers. It is important - the sea is really very shallow and clean by 4-. Those with children will like it, for the rest the hotel is not particularly interesting if you are going across the sea. The food is as it was before in normal Turkish 5*. I was pleased with the variety of cheeses. I know many hotels are saving on this now - but not here. The overall impression is very good if you go for a week.
A great hotel by the sea! This is one of the important points. The rooms are bright, clean, spacious, and the interior is pleasant. The food at the hotel is delicious and varied. The security is good. The territory is clean and beautiful. The beach is also clean.
It doesn't pull for 5. The territory and the beach are good. The food is 4 minus. The waiter pours tea and coffee in only one place. There is no champagne. The wine is average. A custom-made fish restaurant on the 2nd floor. There is no civilization outside the hotel. The city of Didim itself is not a tourist destination. Except for the port.
It's a very good hotel. Nice staff. Delicious food, but it will even be very simple for gourmets. But during dinner, live music - saxophone, the food is better absorbed 😄
I'm going to the sea, I don't care much about the rest, and the sea there is a FAIRY TALE.

We were in Lucas in August 2024. There are only positive emotions from the place.
The staff is polite, helpful, and pleasant.
The territory is huge, large, spacious.
The rooms are small, but all modern and cozy. With a separate entrance.
The food is varied, every day there is something new to choose from - crayfish, sushi, tartars, beef, etc. We didn't get tired of eating in 9 days.
Animation is cool for kids. There is a foam party on Friday and in the evening they inflate a whole trampoline city, aquagrim and contests.
The show program includes big interesting groups - gymnasts, acrobats, a drum show, a circus - in general, it's WOW!
The sea is a sandy beach, there are a lot of free sunbeds, the entrance is flat and the sea is shallow almost to the end of the buoys.
I was completely delighted. Good luck to this beautiful place.
Today, on September 27, 2024, I am resting in this hotel, I am absolutely delighted! There is not a single minus, only positive emotions! I like everything! It will be remembered for a long time, thanks to all the staff, thanks to everyone!
The hotel is located in a hole, the village, there is nowhere to go and walk, it is dark, mud in the area, there are no shops. Of the booze, only 1 type of whiskey and 1 type of vodka are imported, the cocktails are terrible and local. The food is delicious, varied, and there are no complaints. Pizza, hamburgers, stuffed potatoes, a lot of fish, honeycomb, a lot of fruits, but there were no watermelons for a week. You won't be hungry. At the bar, drinks are served in cans on a one-time basis upon arrival. The rooms are old, in need of repair, moved 2 times because of the eternal water in the bathroom, everything runs to the floor. There are no slides, animation is zero, only yoga is normal. Evening shows from 22.00 are just nothing and interesting. The staff is friendly, they don't speak much Russian. The beach began to be cleaned of algae after complaints from tourists. The entrance and water are excellent. Transparent, sandy. We went to a fish restaurant once, barely signed up, from the second time, there are no complaints about the fish, but the rest had nothing to eat, the desserts are burnt and tasteless, it's not worth wasting time. To go to this hotel only at a special price, we gave 155,000 for 7 nights for 2 nights from St. Petersburg.
A wonderful hotel! Any problems with the number are solved instantly. Excellent, varied cuisine. Nice beach. The sea is shallow, suitable for relaxing with children. The staff is amazing! I am very pleased.
The hotel does not meet the stated 5 stars. The rooms do not match the description and are simply unsuitable for living, dirty, bed linen with stains, mold on the sofa (I attach a photo). The hotel staff does not respond to the requests of vacationers in any way, the room was changed to us only a day later! In addition, during the week of rest, the room was never cleaned, only garbage was taken out and towels were changed. The staff speaks only Turkish.
Of the advantages, only the warm sea, warm pools, and beautiful landscape. I do not recommend this hotel, I do not want to go back there a second time!!!
I liked everything very much, the service is excellent, cleanliness, beauty,varied cuisine, in general, we had a five-plus rest, participated in two contests and won 1st place
We had a rest in this hotel in July! Good food, if you are not a strong gourmet, then everything is there. The sea is very close, the sand is very shallow, very far away - it is very convenient with children. The rooms are cleaned for three. Animation is only for children.
We recommend it!!!!Honestly, this year, as never before, we could not choose a hotel for a long time. We decided to try this hotel. According to the criteria of our requests, the hotel is definitely 5 out of 5, even more!!! Very helpful staff!!! All issues were always resolved very quickly!!! Very good guides are Anex Bayram and Alevtina!!! The guys are just babysitting their tourists, thank you!!! Well done!!! The cleaning of the territory is good, the room was cleaned every day, but sometimes they forgot to do something, but everything was quickly solved. The territory of the hotel is for families, young people, the elderly and the disabled (private rooms with check-in). Everything is provided . The food is good, the dishes are clean, there are separate racks for kids (mashed potatoes in jars, milk, juices, etc.), fruits were everything, it will be more difficult to say what was not there :). The sea is nearby and from all sides, I liked the animation from what we saw. The bazaar is a 10-15-minute walk from the hotel, there is a migros along the way, a pharmacy (we ordered the necessary medicines without any problems), shops are also across the street.Transport runs constantly, drivers honk their horns as they pass and pick up people on the way to Didim. I definitely recommend the hotel, there are enough advantages to visit it.
The work of the maids is not properly organized. The maids have huge mops for small areas of rooms and large containers for detergents. As a result, the rooms are very dirty.... I liked everything else.
One disadvantage is the service. I went to the reception 5 times to get a bathrobe and slippers, so that they added shower gel so that they cleaned better. Otherwise, it's a great place. Price/quality is 5 out of 5.
First the cons:
- on the second day, new Lacoste Slates were stolen from my room, and two days later I saw them on a staff girl!
- the beach is very dirty, seaweed is raked into a pile at the sunbeds and they lie there until a smelly tractor arrives and removes them.
- the rooms have very old plumbing ,
The floors are dirty, the cleaning is terrible! If you walk barefoot after cleaning the room, your feet will be black in a minute!
In the restaurant, tables are not served from the word at all, knife, fork, dirty napkin and that's it! There is not even a glass under the water, you have to go and take a beer glass yourself at the bar.
Fruits are scarce, there are no exotics
For those who like to walk, this is not the place, there is nowhere to leave the hotel, small residential streets , mud everywhere.
It's a long 1.5 hour drive to Kusadasi and Bodrum, and a taxi will take about 10 thousand one way.
Therefore, you will spend the whole vacation in a hotel and that's it, it's boring!
Positive:
The sea is very close, the water is clean.
You can see the sea from all the rooms
(first they gave you a room by the pool, it was noisy there, they asked you to change it, they changed it without any problems)
The food is varied
There is a cafe with an excellent barista and coffee
The territory of the hotel is very beautiful, well-groomed, everywhere there are white columns, flowers, palm trees.
The pools are clean, everything is close, perfect with children.
The staff is polite, the animation is good
The Lucas Didim Hotel has conquered. The family room is a whole townhouse! The food is delicious, the animation is interesting. The beach is small and there are few sunbeds.
Room cleaning suffers a lot, they do not change towels, do not wash floors, do not wash sinks and do not know how to wash windows without streaks, in general, in terms of room service, it is a disaster (+ they do not replenish stocks of shower gel and shampoo)
There is also a huge disadvantage-no one except 2-3 people in the hotel can speak English, only Turkish through a translator and they somehow understand it. They asked for a blanket-as a result, they brought it to us almost the whole vacation, first they brought a towel, then a bedspread, then a towel again, then a duvet cover and only a blanket for 4-5 days, hooray......
Otherwise the hotel is good, the most for a quiet and family holiday
The gorgeous territory of the hotel. Delicious food. The only drawback is that there were not enough sun beds near the pools all the time; the hotel positions itself 5 * such moments should not arise

We just returned from this hotel. We had a family vacation with a child of 7 years old. Well, what can I say a hotel For a solid 4*. The sea is cold and dirty, strong winds. In the morning, the sea is more or less but there are a lot of algae, in the afternoon there were waves all 8 days. The entrance to the sea from the side of the beach is stones, then sand and not deep. If you walk a little bit to the public beach along the embankment, then there is a sandy entrance, and they have been there all days. There are fish in the sea that bite periodically, especially if there is some kind of wound or scratch on the legs (the husband scratched his leg and was constantly bitten in the water for this place), so they spent the last 3 days in the pool.
We paid for a standard room with a sea view, but we were accommodated in the Anex Room due to the fact that the hotel was overcrowded, the conflict was settled peacefully in the form of a discount on spa visits and an additional hike to the alakart. The room is spacious and clean, the view from the balcony is amazing, the only drawback is the high audibility. Cleaning every day. Sometimes there was no hot water…
As for the food, it is delicious but there is no variety, everything is the same, there were no themed evenings. Once there was live music for dinner.
We liked the Ala kart fish and Turkish.
What I didn't like was the very poor show program. The disco for children has never started during and is designed mainly for European children who have all the nonsense on stage. After 4 days, even children are not interested anymore. The adult program is announced at 22:00 in fact at 22:20-22:30 not earlier and at 23:00 everything ends.... It's not right somehow. There is no entertainment for adults. No discos, no foam party, nothing!
The hotel takes of course its design! Little Greece on the Turkish coast. Beautiful locations for photos.
The staff mostly does not speak Russian. But there were no problems with clarification, thanks to the translator.
The hammam is gorgeous.
The pool is clean, but the sunbeds around it scatter like pies, which can not be said about the beach, you can always find free ones there.
And by the way, there are really a lot of dogs and cats on the territory of the hotel, but everyone is calm. We also met with a hedgehog every evening!
And of course there are amazing sunsets here, that's what I fell in love with!
Well, to sum up, then:
I would not have come here a second time and would not have advised him.
Nice hotel. The food is monotonous. Imprisoned by the British and Germans. There are few of us, but there are. The sea is cold. The territory of the hotel is beautiful.
