Aida Hotel

The couple who own the hotel are very kind and clearly take great care of the place and their guests. It’s close to the beach, where they also own Azur and Aida, an amazing restaurant and the best one in Ciralli, in my opinion. The property is beautifully kept, with lots of greenery. Our room was very clean, and we had a lovely mountain view from the balcony. Breakfast had an amazing selection. Highly recommend!

The gardens are beautiful, and we felt so welcome that we ended up spending our free time around reception. Staff were all amazing, friendly, and kind. It’s not a luxurious Turkish hotel, but we enjoyed every moment. Cake time and having access to tea all day and night were such nice touches. We’d definitely return, especially if they added a mini-kitchen to one of the cottages. Breakfast was the best, with fresh fruit, grapes, cheese, and butter. Great choices, all very fresh, and the service was beyond perfect. Their fresh orange juice was the best in Cirali. We ordered it every day at lunch or dinner, and it was perfect each time. In other places it had tasted a little sour and less than fully fresh. It was a joy to see such care put into customer service.

The lodge had a master bedroom, two twin beds, and a living area, and it was exceptionally comfortable. The couple traveling with us did find the king bed in the master bedroom too hard. There was lots of storage, quite a bit more than in the other lodge we stayed at, and everything was very clean. It’s well placed between the beach and town. Management was friendly and helpful. Breakfast was first class and served onsite, which was much more convenient than walking down to the beach as guests at some other lodges have to do. We didn’t use the pool, but it was quiet, clean, and tucked away for privacy.

The garden is full of lovely trees, including dates, sage, avocados, pomegranates, and bananas. The area is incredibly quiet and surrounded by nature. Rooms are very clean, the food and service are very good, and all the staff are extremely polite. The famous beach is very close. The hotel serves dinner, though there’s also a restaurant on the beach if you want a nicer setting. It’s easy to reach the markets and cafes with an 8-10 minute walk, and parking wasn’t a problem. You can have a great holiday here for very reasonable prices.
