Hilton Dalaman Resort & Spa

The impressive Hilton Dalaman Resort & Spa resides in an enviable position and features a huge array of family holiday activities for all to enjoy, from the leisurely to the sporting.

If relaxing by the pool is your priority, you will be spoilt for choice – there is a whole network of them and the scale of the Hilton Dalaman gardens means you will never find it difficult to locate empty sunbeds. There are shallow sections and children’s pools and plenty of permanently-shaded sections to keep you out of the sun if you so desire.

Rooms are spacious, ranging from standard to luxurious spa suites located inside the spa area and featuring a jacuzzi or sauna. Family rooms are fantastic making the Hilton Dalaman a top candidate for any family holiday – subject to availability, the designated family rooms are two full-size rooms with their own entrance but connected by a ‘main’ entrance door. Interconnecting rooms are also available, offering the same spacious accommodation for a family of four or five.

Accommodation at the Hilton Dalaman Resort & Spa is on an all-inclusive basis and the mini-bars in the rooms are stocked daily with water, beer and soft drinks. Around the resort, the all inclusive package provides a whole host of drinks, snacks and ice-creams – perfect family holiday treats – and a magnificent buffet lunch or dinner in the main restaurant. In addition, guests may dine at one or more of the superb a la carte restaurants – our favourite is Tao, featuring glorious Asian gourmet.

The Kids Club is superb and the staff there, led by Umit, work tirelessly and enthusisatically from 10am up until 6pm (with a break for lunch) when it’s time for the family dinner – and then the children can go off to a Kids Disco followed by a show in the amphitheatre or a family movie in the Kids Club, leaving the parents to relax in the Piano Bar. Activities run throughout the days and are structured according to the children’s ages.

Other activities include watersports, tennis, aerobics, football and volleyball and an 18-hole golf course will open on-site soon. For children, the two sets of waterslides cater for even the smallest holidaymaker and the larger ones are fully supervised – as is the beach area, with its welcoming crepe bar and supply of cold drinks. For the ultimate relaxation, the superb Spa offers a host of treatments and peaceful, private pool.

With a short transfer time of just 15 minutes, supervised beach and play areas, superb all inclusive dining, spacious rooms and a fantastic family holiday feel, the Hilton Dalaman Resort & Spa is one of our very favourites and we strongly recommend adding it to your shortlist!
