Halise Apart

Good rooms and friendly owners.

The sheets were not clean, and after four days on our Datça trip, I could say a lot about the cleanliness and hygiene. Minus 5. Don’t book based on the pictures. There might be good reviews from friends and relatives. I do recommend going to Datça, though, its nature is magnificent. You can improve yourself. I don’t review places where I haven’t stayed, and I don’t violate anyone’s rights.

The balcony was a plus, and the air conditioning worked well. The location was nice too, about 15 minutes from Datça and Eskidatça. But the room had a lot of shortcomings for anything beyond a night's sleep. It should have had a hairdryer and slippers. The bathroom combined the shower and toilet, water got everywhere, and a strong odor sometimes reached the room, making it smell like a toilet. The beds felt like concrete and caused neck and back pain that interrupted our sleep. I wouldn't recommend the room for a long stay.

We stayed two nights during our Marmaris-Datça-Fethiye trip, choosing this quiet village spot for its price and location. The center is a 10-minute drive, and the nearby Şok supermarket covered our needs. We had no parking trouble, though parking could be an issue. The shared kitchen was sufficient; we made one breakfast and one dinner and took them to the beach, which made the meals more enjoyable. The price was similar to the already exorbitant tent prices. Our lower-floor room was dark, especially the bathroom, and ventilation was a serious problem. There was a woody smell that was acceptable, but the bathroom smelled badly of mold and damp, which was very disturbing. Maybe a large bathroom window would help. The bed creaked constantly and wasn’t very comfortable. Room cleanliness was normal.
