We loved our stay in this hotel. We felt relaxed from the moment we got there. Being surrounded by palm trees and greenery gives it a very unique feel. The staff were very friendly and helpful - the mezze style breakfasts were great and the kitchen were happy to whip up anything else you might want. The menu was not huge but always well prepared and tasty and available any time of day. We stayed in the main house and had a large, tastefully decorated room with balcony overlooking the pool - and all of the newer bungalow rooms we were shown had the same quality. There are plenty of areas to relax around the pools with day beds, loungers and poolside bars. If you like wildlife there are a few friendly family pets - dogs, cats and an assortment of chickens to keep you company! A few minutes walk down a river takes you to a pebble beach in a large cove with views across the clear waters to surrounding islands. It was just warm enough to swim in April. Gocek town is a 5 minute taxi ride away with a good selection of bars and restaurants. We only did this a couple of times as we liked being at the hotel so much.

I was hoping to do some walking around the area but as its quite isolated there wasn't many options. This isn't really a criticism of the hotel but be prepared to get taxis or bus if you want to go exploring. Hire cars were cheap from the airport for the week when we went, but in the end I'm glad we didn't as we may have felt obliged to use them rather than relax at the Layla.

Loved Layla Gocek! Beautiful & peaceful, the hotel has been designed so well and is visually stunning - similar to Bali or Costa Rica. Everyone who works there is amazing, they're all so kind and friendly with excellent service. It's a small hotel so you often have it all to yourself, and there are two fabulous pools to choose from, plus a short walk to the beach. It's a boho vibe and all the plants and greenery are beautiful. Special shout out too to And, Ege and Mustafa who made our stay so fun.

I really liked the animals at the property but if you are scared of birds, this isn't the place for you. There are peacocks, roosters and hens roaming freely (they're cute).

We loved the environment and the set-up. Was absolutely gorgeous. I personally did not like the dogs and cats going into the restaurant cos I have a allergy issues, so maybe this awareness needs to be considered. The staff was fantastic, attentive, polite and very helpful. Special mention to Giza and Noah who had amazing peoples' skills and were able to make the guests feel special and very comfortable. They both gave attention to detail, which is very important in the service industry. Thanks for a fabulous experience at the Layla:))

I did not like the cats and the dogs allowed in the restaurant. Also, we noticed that there were not many Turkish dishes offered on the menu. It would be great if there were more of the Tuekish cuisine.

The hotel is beautifully designed and offers a very relaxing atmosphere. The rooms are modern and well furnished. Our room had massive wood furniture which was impressive. The staff was very helpful and accomodating to support my partner, who suffers from extreme fear of dogs. They also prepared for us an early breakfast on the last day, on which we were leaving before the usual breakfast time.

Although the property description on Booking states that the hotel is pet friendly, it may be helpful to mention explicitely that the property owns two dogs, which play freely in the garden. This may not be suited for everyone.

We stayed at this hotel for 4 nights - a short holiday to relax between flights. The hotel has everything for a comfortable stay. The hotel is located in a forest area, close to the beach. Approximately 7-10 minutes on foot. I was very pleased with the amazing aroma of pine and eucalyptus. Originally decorated rooms and common areas of the hotel. Excellent breakfasts and a fairly extensive a la carte menu for lunch and dinner. The staff is very responsive, I rate them 10 stars, they are always ready to help with all questions. 10 minutes by taxi the city of Gocek with all the infrastructure. 25 minutes by taxi from and to the airport. We chose this hotel because of its proximity to Dalaman airport and wanted the beach within walking distance. And we were pleased with the choice. Suitable for those who want relaxation and a quiet holiday in a beautiful place.

Stunning hidden away hotel, beautiful and quirky. Animals roaming free, very comfortable suite. Excellent responsiveness by Tanya on reception via WhatsApp.

We arrived at the very start of the season and a few things were being finessed, including drainage of waste water, there was a smell of sewerage for a while (only affecting the bathroom). This absolutely wouldn’t put me off staying again! The wait for a drink in the evening was occasionally longer than desired, but new staff were being trained, so understandably there were some teething issues.

The staff were wonderful, so polite and helpful. I was travelling solo, and the receptionist made sure I had transport everywhere I wanted to go and checked up on me regularly to make sure I was safe and well. The waiters, bartenders, cleaners, and maintenance man were all so friendly and welcoming. It was peaceful and the most relaxing break I've ever had. Food is nice, although portion sizes were very small for the money you pay. I never felt full after a meal. The food was nice, just not enough of it. The room was huge, and the interior and exterior decor was beautiful. True serenity place to stay 😌 I had a wonderful time and I'm sad to be leaving. Thank you again for a wonderful stay at Layla Gocek.

I liked everything apart from previous comments about food portion sizes.

Layla Göcek is a little piece of paradise away from home! Everything in the resort is beautifully crafted with great attention to detail. From the grounds to the palm trees the lagoons pebble lined pool - the vibe is simply amazing, themed on a tropical, botanical garden farm. Very peaceful and quiet, really great place to relax in the calm and peace. Sumptuous breakfast served by the stunning pools, the hosts can't do enough to make you feel welcome and your stay comfortable. It's a place to simply escape to and enjoy!

Everything was great - the hosts are upgrading the facilities to make it even better, look forward to returning and seeing it in future.

Love it ! i’ll come back

This property offers a unique experience unlike your usual hotel. Staff spends a lot of time with their guests and are very friendly :- Arsoy, Tanya,Poyrus, Ardan, the chefs and all the other staffs. It’s a great retreat to relax, unwind in the nature but close to the beach. Lovely swimming pool set up and they are adding a new pool on the new side. The hotel is nicely decorated in bohemian/Bali style. Pet friendly environment with dogs, cats, cockerel and colourful peacocks roaming around the ground. They all form part of the furniture which was very nice! The new side is opening soon, so exciting time for the property and the staffs! Kudos to And the owner, he has truly created something special for people who want to enjoy a quiet and peaceful holiday. Many thanks we really enjoyed our stay! Nitin&cristina
