Filika Butik Hotel

The beachfront made it so easy to step out of the room and go straight for a swim, and the water felt unusual. I’m guessing it mixes with hot spring water, because I could feel hot and cold as I swam. The hotel is high quality, with nicely decorated rooms, though they’re a little tight for luggage. Breakfast was amazing, the staff were very friendly, and the TV had the latest tech. I’d recommend it for a peaceful holiday with good service.

We loved it, and I highly recommend this super clean boutique hotel compared with the others. The sea can be wavy, but swimming was still great, especially for adults rather than kids. The food was delicious, the staff were experienced, and the service was professional. Thank you so much! : )

We ended our stay early because we were so disappointed. The standard room was very small, with just one little closet, five hangers, and no drawers. The floor in the bathroom had hair and dust, and the room was cleaned only every two days. A horrible sewage smell meant we had to leave the bathroom door open, which wasn’t great with so many flies around. We only got one thin sheet or blanket, there were no ironing facilities, and a scurrying, scratching noise in the beams was concerning. The dogs barking were annoying too.

I come here mainly for the beach, where the sea gets deep and you can sunbathe on the pier or sit at a table. You can order a beer served in an ice-filled bucket. It’s a nice escape from akyaka beach, but on in-season weekends you should arrive early.
