This used to be a lovely hotel with mesmerising view and service. We observed that, unfortunately, many things had changed for the worse. It was the second time when we stayed there with my husband in September 2021. We had loved our first stay so much that we looked forward to going there a second time. However, we were disappointed on several fronts. As it is evident, this is not a cheap hotel. High prices can be tolerated as long as the service is excellent. This was not the case this year. We had to change rooms due to the air conditioner which was not working. The beach was very badly looked after. At such a price, you do not want beach showers that are rusty or not working at all. Beach chaise-longues that were broken and walk-ways that had broken and missing pieces were a sad sight. Lunch and refreshment service at the beach was slow because of inadequate staff. The restaurant prices were much higher than before even when the adverse effects of the pandemic are taken into consideration. Mavi Beyaz Hotel enjoyed being a monopoly at Palamutbükü for a very long time. But now, there are other nice places to stay and dine in the bay. The hotel seems to have made a big investment for its new branch in downtown Datça. I believe this is the main reason why things have gone down in this one. This is a very big mistake in my opinion as now there are several other options in the area.
