Found this gem of a hotel in the Lonely Planet and so glad I did! Only 20 mins from Bodrum (very easy to get to via the frequent turqouise coloured minibuses) - it retains a local charm which is now lost in most of the area.
What sets Sah apart is its location- mere steps from the beach. All rooms encircle the beautiful pool.
Our room was small but spartan and tidy- bedding was a bit thin but given the temperatures we didn't mind.
Mert, the owner is extremely pleasant. Breakfast- served poolside is filling and delicious.
We met several people who were returning year after year- and I can't blame them- this is a truly unique place. The guests were a mix of English and local Turkish which is always a good sign!
Only slight complaint not enough pool seating for everyone and by the time we arrived for breakfast many of the loungers had been claimed by guests who never turned up to use them until well into the afternoon. A few more loungers/chairs certainly couldn't hurt. Though it's very easy to find a spot to lounge on the adjacent beach.
Would be happy to return!
