I have just returned from the holiday in Turkey, Ciftlikoy. We stayed in the Babaylon hotel for 2 weeks. The location of the hotel is wonderful, the views so picturesque - it's a paradise. You can spend your day either by the pool or by the beach. Additionally, there is a great number of very attractives places in the viccinity - great little towns, villages and brilliant beaches !!! The room was very cosy and kept clean every day. Because of the specific location of the hotel all the rooms have a view of the sea - you fall asleep to the sounds of the sea, it's lovely. The food is really good - a great variety of fresh vegetables, fruit, starters, main dishes, desserts. Lots of fish and seafood. The only drawback was the number of hotel guests - there was a pretty crowd of them. But it only proves the quality of the place. I travelled with young children - they loved everything there - the pool, the beach, the playground, the mini disco in the evening, the food. I couldn't leave them in the mini club though - but it was due to the fact they don't know English yet.

Good things: Food is very good (as usual in Turkey), all the area close to the sea (beach, cafe'/restaurant) is excellent, pool area is ok (even if I find quite masochistic to use a pool when you are at 30 meters from Aegean Sea), restaurant is ok, guests are usually very polite (as usual in Turkey). What is astonishing is how the hotel is quiet even when it is full. Ideal for those who looks for relax and good turkish food. Furthermore, Cesme and his surroundins are really beautiful. Highly recommended.
Bad things: all the rooms and bathrooms need renovation (just those on the first floor are ok). The place is a bit windy, but not always and not so much. Depending on that, not always sea is calm. No free internet connection. Some crazy people in front of the east side of the hotel (opposite to the beach) sometimes put music in high volume. But just few hours a day. You will not notice that so much.
Just a mistery: after breakfast almost all the guests disappear. Where do they go? Anyway no problem, around 6 pm they are all back.

Expected more from a four star hotel. Staff ıs very good and so ıs the locatıon. However, I was dısappoınted wıth the room (needs renovatıon), bathroom smells bad. The food was 90 percent the same everyday. I expected more fısh for a seasıde resort, but saw fısh only once or twıce a week. The beach ıs only 50 meters away and there ıs a bus that can take you to Cesme for about one Euro.
