Villa Elmas Paradise

They were not set up to receive visitors place was a mess

The positives are the accommodation was spacious and the washing machine comes in handy when in 45 degree heat as you can give your favourite clothes a wash. The walk in to town is definitely about 20 minutes but you can walk all the way along the river front and it’s very pretty. We enjoyed Dalyan very much, but we would not return to the Paradise Club complex as there are so many better choices around the area.

Holiday Review on Accommodation. My family have just returned back from the Paradise Club Villa Elmas, and although our holiday was incredibly enjoyable, we felt the Paradise Club Villa complex was overall very disappointing. I must firstly say the photographs they use to advertise the complex are probably 15 years old because they make it look very nice and this is partly what made us book in the first place. It doesn’t deserve to use the word “Paradise” in it’s name. I feel it’s best to be honest so at least people looking get a true reflection of what the premises is like. The overall complex is suffering from neglect and that is obvious from when you first see it in the daytime. The large main pool is dotted with green algae and the side of the pool below the rock waterfall is very green and is need of a deep clean. The Baby pool is also very green, and I’d think twice about putting your child in that water. The pool is not lit up and night and this is because some of the glass lights in the pool are broken and they have also become covered with algae and have some sharp edges on them. Every single sun lounger was broken beyond use which was not acceptable. I must also note that behind what appears to be an old bar beside the pool they have hidden lots of junk and what appears to be chemicals for the pool. The patio area around the plunge pool in the Villa Elmas suffered from pools of water stagnating in the sun and this has resulting in awful mould growing close to the pool side which was rather off putting. The air conditioning units in the villa were extremely noisy and not providing very cool air. After a few days I checked the filters and was horrified to see they were thick with dust, and I don’t think they had been serviced for years. After leaning them all they difference was staggering, and each unit was so much quieter. The complex didn’t provide anything in the way of Dish Clothes, Soap, Tea Towels or projects to wash up with.

Excellent meet and greet from Coray, he looked after us superbly during our stay. Any problems we had were fixed promptly. Perfect size apartment for small family.

The kitchen was very bare. We were hoping to cook during our stay, but the kitchen was not equipped to do so. The apartment could do with a little TLC.

The private pool was the best bit. The outside space was nice, and the kitchen, although we didn't use it, was clean and tidy.

The pillows and mattress were covered in yellow stains, I understand the matress is expensive and can't be changed often but a matress protector would deffinatly help, the pillows were gross very discoloured, hard and lumpy, the towels were all stained and the shower was shocking low pressure and cold :( we came last year and didn't have any of these issues so very disappointing. We never saw any staff to complain or to ask for different towels and pillows, the only staff we saw was the restaurant staff sometimes.

The location and facilities

The villa was missing a few things as set up for two people staying yet there were four of us

We were self catering so could suit ourselves. Villa is beautiful, location excellent, just lovely and peaceful and exactly what we needed. Villa is gorgeous, very private, just perfect

Loved everything
