The location and the sea are still fantastic: clear water, a peaceful feel, and it wasn't too crowded. That's what brought us back after a four-day stay last summer (2024). This time we came as a family of four for five days in July, but the stay didn't go as well. Our room was cleaned just once, and only after we asked. We were told cleaning happened every two days, then that we needed to hang a sign on the door, or tell reception. We tried all of that and still got only one cleaning. Breakfast was also much worse than in 2024, with flies all around the buffet. There seemed to be enough staff, but the service felt inattentive and inefficient. We'd chosen “pay at the hotel” through ETS, yet the hotel called right after we booked and asked us to pay in advance. Apart from the location and sea, we weren't happy with this year's stay.

Vedat, the waiter at the beach, looked after our requests so attentively that he made us feel like special guests. Service there was surprisingly quick, and everyone was friendly and polite. We also enjoyed the delicious food and the peaceful decor in the restaurant. We'll be back when we get the chance, and I strongly recommend it.

The food was fabulous and the location was awesome, but the room had a few problems. Wi-Fi was slow and didn't reach our room. Hot water took 10 minutes to arrive and wasn't very hot. The plumbing for the room above ran through the wall right by our bed's headboard, and it was so loud I checked whether a drain had burst into our room. We visited before the season started and paid a reduced rate, which felt fair for what we got. I wouldn't pay more.

The location is what made this a pleasant stay, and the attached restaurant is well worth visiting. The beach is fabulous, with waiter service and pebbles that are just the right size. The service and the quiet, spacious feel were nice too. The rooms are small, and the in-room amenities are about what you'd get at a standard UK B&B. Don't expect much from them. For Turkey, it's expensive, and the rooms need improvement to justify a higher price.
