Uslu Otel Royal Yachting

The dining area looks over the pool and has a great view, and the beach access is, in my opinion, the best in town. It's built in several levels along a bluff, with a spectacular view from the top. The rooms are on the smaller side, but that's fine for the location. This is a very good hotel, and it met all my quality expectations, which I haven't always found easy to do in Turkey.

The private beach has bar and restaurant service, and the location is good. Breakfast was the best I've had so far in Turkey and the EU, with a great selection of vegetables, cheese, meat, and drinks, plus a fantastic view. Huge thanks to all the staff at Uslu Hotel. They're professional, always nearby, and ready to help. You're the soul of the hotel ❤️ It's a great place for a reasonable price, and I can't recommend it highly enough ☺️

The rooms were really comfortable, with a bed you never want to leave, and the view looked like a postcard. I loved the breakfast with birds around the pool and the sea in the background. Baris' hardworking team made us feel very cared for, and I'd recommend the hotel, hoping management takes this feedback on board. From check-in to checkout, every interaction with the hotel team was warm and friendly. They did everything they could to make us happy. Baris led a genuinely great team. Thank you, Baris, Esma, Dogan, Arife, Emre, Ahmet, and everyone else. The detail-oriented service was top-notch, with quick responses and staff remembering the little things. I'd just stayed at a five-star hotel, and Uslu Hotel's service impressed me much more, from arrival through our last day. Management could improve some things. We were told the beach was private and ready to use, but the beach wharf didn't look like the Instagram pictures and wasn't even built for standing on. Because of the lockdown, they didn't want to put out beach chairs. Since the lockdown was already in place when we called, we felt misinformed. The beach wasn't private, which was why there were issues getting chairs there. For 18 days, we had to put towels on stones beside the trash. I had to ask two or three days in a row before someone collected the beer cans and other rubbish. Without the wharf, sea urchins made it difficult to get into the water. They said chairs would be brought within a few days, but none appeared during our lockdown stay. Our room came with a daily minibar, including Coke and Fanta. We asked to swap those for light Coke since we don't drink the others. After two or three reminders, there was only one replacement. When I asked again, reception said they'd check with management, but nobody got back to me, so I gave up. Since light Coke isn't expensive, this seemed like an easy way to make guests happy. The staff wore masks at all times, but management didn't guide guests about wearing theirs. I was uncomfortable seeing people on the stairs and around the hotel without masks or keeping their distance. I raised this several times and was told they didn't want to bother guests by asking them to wear masks indoors. I was very disappointed by that response. Business owners should make sure public guidance is followed, especially during a countywide lockdown, both to protect guests from one another and staff from guests.

The food was outstanding. Huge praise to the chef, bravo, chapeau bas. We had an amazing time at this beautiful place. The view, the cleanliness, and the setup were all just right. The staff were incredibly helpful, tidy, organized, and professional. Thank you.
