Nadas Kazdaglara

The food and service were impeccable, and the staff were lovely. Every course was delicious, with scenery that made it easy to relax. This is my favorite place I’ve visited in Turkey so far, and I’m already looking forward to returning.

We were there for six nights, and the charges left me feeling taken advantage of. Extras seemed to be added wherever possible, often without telling us the cost until checkout. We asked for three hours of group training and were charged 30,000 Turkish liras, about $1,000. The sauna is only five square meters, but after we used it they added 8,000 Turkish liras, without having told us it cost extra. I’ve never encountered a hotel charging for sauna or spa use like that, and the lack of notice felt disrespectful. Even an Ayran costs 200 liras, and dinner can run $100-$150 per person before alcohol. The WiFi was terrible too. The staff were friendly, though, and breakfast was good. In my opinion, this was the most overpriced place I’ve stayed.

A little pool and places to relax outside add to the peaceful feel here. The rooms are a good size and comfortable, and the staff were incredibly kind and helpful. The kitchen is high quality, the music was good, and evenings stayed quiet. It took me two days to notice there wasn’t a TV, and I didn’t miss it at all. It felt like a small paradise, far from everyday life, with lots of care in the details.

We only came for lunch, and had a really relaxing time. The staff were kind, and we started with a cocktail at the nicely furnished bar before eating by the pool. There isn’t much choice on the lunch menu, but my meal was very good. The drive up can be bumpy and narrow, especially through the village center.
