My brother and his wife recommended these apartments to me after they had stayed there. The apartments are family owned and run. One of the owners Onur will pick you up from and return you to Dalaman airport as part of his service, His brother has a boat which for a reasonable fee, he will take you out on and provide a barbecue on board. I did not get the opportunity whilst there to do this but other people that I met have been on several in the many years they have been going there and they highly recommend them. There is also a Turkish night (again for a reasonable charge) at the apartments when Onur's mother cooks a selection of traditional Turkish dishes served on the sun terrace of their small restaurant.
The pool area is bright and sunny, with sunbeds provided. There is as I have said a sun terrace above the restaurant. The restaurant serves food at lunch time and in the evenings if required. You can also obtain water from there so you don't have to lug it back from Dalyan! There is also a sheltered 'gazebo' where guest are encouraged to read and borrow books from and of course leave behind any you may have finished that you bought with you. It is a nice rest full area to chill out in, in the early evenings before going out.
My apartment was actually a two bed, which was clean and well appointed with a small kitchen, a 2 ring gas burner, kettle, toaster etc. A through dining/lounge with patio over looking the well kept pool area. The living room sleeps two if required. Upstairs there was a double and twin bedroom both with air con and a bathroom with sink, toilet and shower.
The apartments a a 10-15 minute flat walk into the center of Dalyan where you can find restaurants, bars, supermarkets and shops. Good quality silver, watches and leather handbags available in Dalyan. Restaurants are all keenly priced and offer seafood, Turkish and European cuisine.
Dayan is also home to the fabulous rock tombs at Kaunos and there is also a Roman ruin close by.
I had an absolutely peaceful and enjoyable holiday. I will be returning next year to hopefully meet up with the lovely people (who have been going back for 6 years) that I met this year.
Please note, when I have said the apartments are not budget, luxury or romantic it does not mean they are not these things. It is neither budget or luxury but I would say it's definitely very well appointed and maintained. If you want it to be romantic I am sure the family would be only too willing to provide flowers, champagne etc for a fee.
