I have been meaning to write this review for months and have finally sat down to try and make a decent attempt as wanted to spend some time to do. Holidaying with our son, we were celebrating 25 years of wedded bliss, and decided to visit Turkey for the first time to experience what can only be described as one of the most beautiful parts of the world. Beyaz was recommended to us by our daughter who stayed in 2017, she knew immediately, that we would absolutely love it - and she certainly wasn’t wrong. We were met at Dalaman airport by a driver, and we, along with another lovely couple who were also staying at Beyaz, were taken to the resort around 30 mins drive away, although it didn’t seem that long as we chatted, all of us in the holiday spirit albeit late at night. Our new acquaintances had stayed there before - I was told most who stay at Beyaz almost certainly return…. and can now understand why. Although late, on our arrival , we were greeted by Serdar, the manager, with a drink which was much welcomed. We were shown to our room for our 10 day holiday to begin, which it did magnificently as we awoke the next morning to go on our first trip arranged by him - The 12 island tour, to view and visit the most spectacular scenery around the area by boat….absolutely breathtaking as we dined by sea and taking a dip in various locations. We had seen many photos and videos of the surrounding area, but have to say nothing can really capture the reality, we were truly amazed. The trip was a great way to meet and get to know fellow guests staying at Beyaz, and on return, is the perfect place to chat and have a laugh about the day’s events and discoveries , and particularly useful for advice and recommendations from those who have stayed many times before , along with the Beyaz team of course. As it is a small resort, it has a sense of coziness where you immediately feel relaxed and in great company - the perfect way to holiday. This means a lot to us, as our son is on the autistic spectrum and takes life at his own pace but likes to improve on his independence skills. I can only say that Beyaz was perfect for him as the team were just fantastic and Serdar was particularly patient, attentive and supportive and made it a wonderful holiday for him. The accommodation itself was on the first floor, balcony overlooking the gardens and beautiful scenery, where we enjoyed many early evening drinks before going out for dinner. Lounge, kitchenette, double bedroom and bathroom, immaculately clean. Sofabed in lounge, Aircon in bedroom and lounge. Perfect for what you need. The bar, pool and gardens are wonderful- not too big but certainly enough room and spacious for everyone. A wonderful Turkish buffet breakfast is served every morning- the food is wonderfully fresh and delicious, ranging from fresh fruit, cereal, yoghurt, cooked eggs, coffee, juices etc. We also sampled other meals on offer - the chicken was particularly good, but can honestly say everything was fantastic.Beyaz is approximately a 15 minute walk to Dalyan town/ river. You can take various routes on foot and even I didn’t get lost ! You’ll see lots of dogs, lots of fresh fruit, wonderful plants - all in all so very different to everything we are used to back home. We caught the bus in town to visit the beach, and it dropped us just around the corner on our return….. so easy ! The Turkish people really have to be one of the most friendly nations, their hospitality is remarkable and everybody made us feel so welcome with smiles a-plenty. It was lovely to meet Tim’s family who came to stay midweek and we shared many laughs as they also gave us some great tips for the area obviously having stayed many times. The absolute highlight was being asked to come down to the bar, to gather and join in with saying goodbye to a young family who were sadly going home - I knew this was a tradition at Beyaz and a lovely touch to end a lovely holiday. But this was then followed with Serdar presenting us with a celebration cake (as it had been our silver wedding anniversary )whilst playing our wedding song !!! All so emotional!! Everyone enjoyed the cake and fellow guests even treated us to drinks and a bottle of wine … a wonderful surprise and honestly cannot say how overwhelmed we were . A massive thank you to the owners, Tim, Sarah and of course everyone who made this happen. A magical holiday that will not be repeated. It is no surprise that Beyaz Villas score so highly in reviews, if you’re thinking Dalyan this year, think Beyaz, a truly wonderful Turkish haven. ( I’m sorry this has taken so long ) X…
