My wife and I stayed at the Happy/Harpy Hotel in July this year when it was a sweltering 40 degrees most days, The hotel is in a spectacular location elevated above kalamar bay on a downside it is the trek into Kalkan by foot at that time due to the heat, however the hotel does run a courtesy bus in and out at various times through the day and evening, the last returning at 10pm ( a bit to early for us). We hired a scooter for a couple of days against all advice, it was a bit hairy and never ventured out of kalkan after the first day, when a driver from a local well known tour company did his best to knock us off, to the point of following us into the drive of the hotel ! That was the only negative in our second visit to Kalkan, the people being the friendliest we have ever met. We stayed in a deluxe room on the top floor with a massive balcony, I couldnt fault the room and the views. We had the half board option breakfast was good although we were dissappointed with the evening buffet selection, having stayed elsewhere the year before with the food freshly cooked, having said that there was always plenty to eat. We stayed around the hotel a couple of nights although it is very quite after dinner with not much going on, The staff are very friendly and take time to talk with you in particular Kenan , Salim and Bhari. The pool is superb and large, we never had a problem getting a sunbed and often the pool was fairly empty. We ventured out to some local bars which are within walking distance cafe vita being our favourite. Overall the happy did not dissappoint we would have no hesitation in returning at some stage in the future. Regards toi Martin and Sonya xx
