The name "Oludeniz" literally translates as "Dead Sea". But this name does not have the same meaning as a lake in Israel. Oludeniz Bay is teeming with fish and shellfish.

Where guests are accommodated
The Liberty Hotels Oludeniz 4 * hotel has only two categories of rooms. Moreover, they are not particularly different in area.

But the furniture in them is new. Superior - these are beautiful cozy bedrooms and spacious bathrooms. Everything in them - and decoration, and furniture, and plumbing - shines with novelty. Liberty is a whole hotel chain, and it holds the bar for service and rooms high.
As for the choice of rooms, ask for a second or third floor in the villas. These rooms are bright, spacious, with a beautiful and cozy balcony.

Standards are unlocked with a simple key, superior - with an electronic card.

The standards are old-style appliances, the superior rooms are new. In this case, the surcharge for upgrading the category (if this is done not at the travel agency, but directly at the hotel) is only about 475 rubles per day. What will change for that kind of money?

But with regard to beds, bedding, a safe, cosmetics and towels, in the apartments of both categories these services are the same.
