My husband and I stayed for 7 nights at this magical hotel! On arrival we were greeted by the petite Manager Aysegul and her team of ladies and Pasha, the beautiful dog! We were shown to our room (No. 5) it was beautiful, very spacious with a jaqcuzzi at one end and sitting area at the other which led to a balcony overlooking the sea! The bathroom was fab - marble and stone with huge rain-shower and again very spacious. The gardens are very well maintained and the smell from the jasmine and honeysuckle hits you as soon as you step out! There is a lovely pool (quite small) and a decking area with very comfortable beds to sunbathe on.
The breakfasts are very good with fresh eggs from their own hens cooked anyway you wished. Homemade bread and rolls with jams and preserves. Also salad and olives - which I never got used to! Afternoon tea was brought round the pool at 4pm everyday with savoury and sweet pastries/cakes. Everyone looked forward to this! Dinner was served between 7.30 - 10pm each evening and was 5 courses! All homemade and utterly delicious! Be prepared to loosen the belt!
We both like swimming in the sea and Aysegul gave us a map and told us the nearest beach was 20mins away - it took us 45mins down a somewhat steep dirt track to get there and 1 and half hrs to get back - it was quite a hike, especially in the heat! But the sea was so clear and warm.
There is a minibus which stops outside the hotel several times a day. We used this to go to Olu Deniz, about 15min drive - best avoided unless you like english breakfasts and burger and chips with everything! Very commercial. We did find another beach where many turkish families went - it was on the bus route and dropped us off outside the national park - pristine beach with sunloungers and unbrellas (payable locally), changing rooms/toilets/showers and small cafe. Really enjoyed snorkelling here - clear, blue sea with lots of marine life to see!
We had a relaxing, peaceful week here. The service was excellent and nothing too much trouble for the happy, smiling staff who enjoyed my attempts at the turkish language! Would stay here again but with car hire next time.
