Big Blue Hotel

The seaside was awesome, the breakfast amazing, and the room perfect. Perfect, that's all!

A nice restaurant right on the beach.

The staff were helpful and friendly, but the hotel's management problems outweighed that for us. Breakfast was included in the price, yet we had to eat at other restaurants. After the ownership changed in 2018, the standards dropped drastically. It had been perfect in every way in 2017, and we still remember Mr. Bora. This summer's holiday was nothing like we'd expected.

We first visited in December 2017 and loved the calamari. Once we found out the hotel was there too, we planned a three-night stay during our May trip. We knew ownership had changed in May and thought that would be fine, but the calamari we ordered at the restaurant was awful, so we left straight away. Thankfully, the chef apologized the next day and tried to make it right with fruit and dessert. Beyond the chef, the receptionist and a few others, the staff seemed completely clueless about running the place. The new owners are apparently from Ankara and seem to have put some people in charge. It feels like the investment has gone to waste. I hope it can become a decent place with professional staff in the future.
